Happy birthday lovely barking! Flowers
Really sorry about DPs granny. It's so sad. Thank goodness for a quiet Friday after a late night. Do you have nice birthday plans?

Hey kitty yeah I'm alright. How's that cat doing?

Good to see you mrboomivator (does that work?). Am v impressed with your clean living- are you feeling tip top? Here have a special snake made only from fruit. Helfy.

Cornwall sounds great gill

Huh, thanks Boom for taking me off the list But I'll take the birthday Flowers ta!! Grin
I've been positive thinking all through this cycle so if I don't get my birthday BFP this month I officially give up and leave it to science/drugs. Nature has had 19 months!!

Birthday is going to be started by going back to bed... Don't work Fridays fortunately. DP's granny had another stroke yesterday so it was 5 hours of driving and a hospital visit last night, got back at midnight. I don't think she's going to pull through this time. The sympathetic smile and tilt of the head from the nurse when we said who we'd come to see spoke volumes, especially as we arrived after visiting hours were over and it wasn't mentioned. Sad DP didn't want to miss work today as he'd only gone back after his op yesterday so we stayed an hour then got back in the car.

Yay a list!!! I really had lost track of my lovely berries and now we know where we all are, and it seems most of us will either be very happy or very depressed next week Confused statistically we must be due a couple of BFPs! Surely!!!

Very jealous of your holiday gil anybody else up to much this weekend? After working last weekend I'd should be taking it easy this weekend but we have friends round tonight for tea and the Hobbit, then we might go to a local food festival Saturday and then I'm cooking Fathers Day dinner for my folks, sister and her chap! Here's hoping that this time next year DH (and all your DHs/DPs) is a father or at least father to be!!!

MrsB00Mbastic · 14/06/2013 08:21

Ooooh, is it your birthday barking? Happy birthday! You'll have to get your BFP then, it's the law that nice things happen in birthday cycles Grin

Have some birthday Flowers to brighten up your yellow brick road!

MrsB00Mbastic · 14/06/2013 08:19

Oooh Gil I'm very Envy of your Cornwall holiday. Adore it down there, we went camping last year but had to cut it short b/c of MC so hoping to go back under happier circumstances soon! DH is determined to move down there one day...

Hi thunder, good to see you've found the plot again and regrouped Grin Are there any jelly snakes left? I'm detoxing but I believe e-sweets are calorie free...

Charming sorry AF has reared her ugly head. Like you say, the BFP is the grand prize but glad you have your job as a commiseration trophy.

Good luck to all the berries playing the waiting game, really hope you ALL get BFPs although even one would be nice, it's about bloody time someone got diffed again and it ain't gonna be me at the mo

Feeling good today. The sun's out, I've done my morning workout (that makes me sound very Mr Motivator, but if I say exercises it sounds like I'm doing 1950s calisthenics Grin), I've managed to eat clean all week, my dissertation is coming along and I don't have to even think about ttc until after next Tues when I finally have my scan. It's all good!

Make that 5 gillster! Only I'm waiting for a BFP, not AF, as it's my positivity cycle!!! I'll be 10dpo on the 17th, and that's what my LP stretched to last cycle. This cycle I've been taking the vitamin B6 non religiously every day bar the one day I was in hospital post nasty HSG so I'm hoping it will be even longer this cycle. Although I'll never know how long because of course AF won't be arriving for another 9 months.....

Hi berries, can someone add me to the list as only on phone. Looks like quadruple AF next week! Hopefully at least one of us will strike lucky Smile

Oh crap kuma, should we stock up now on chocolate wine and beanbags?

Hi tally how's the quilting? 2 months for the scan? That totally sucks. If only they could just do it now and you could move on. Phhbbb

Tallyra · 13/06/2013 23:37

well cd1 here for me, but been told that the scan I'm waiting for to check for scarring is at least 2 months away so no more TTC until then. don't want to get diffed just yet (logically anyway, my heart tells me I should just go for it, but if there's a chance of fixing something first, I really should go for it). grrr.

Right I am starting a new list.....

Oo charming was it you with the exciting job offer? That's fantastic news. Obviously a baby would trump it all but each small celebration in life should be celebrated I say.

bunny that's very good going indeed- fingers crossed the opks LIE!

blind where's my wave? Eh? Eh? Humph.

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 21:04

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 21:04

charming quick out channel 2 in instead (nice cat documentary!) Grin

CharmingCats · 13/06/2013 20:39

Hello thunder how the devil are you?

Spotting has started, so AF on her way. Can't be implantation, must be about 12/13 dpo, if the scan is anything to go by. Cd 71, so it's good in one way that the cycle is ending, but I am sad that there is still no bfp. Next month will be month 12.

I will be able to take on the new job too..... But a baby would trump it all.

CharmingCats · 13/06/2013 20:31

God, there's a documentary on 5 about Will and Kate's baby. Don't watch.

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 19:29

at boodle

syd yep that story is nice but I'm still mega Envy! Shag week starts for us today too yey not (cd13)

barking re the other thread, some people just don't know how lucky they are!

boom if dh doesn't remember who's side he's on at the next fc appt he will regret it!!!!!

Yet another bfp in the brooking thread. Mostly ivf bfps...soooo wish my imminent iui was ivf!

Bunnygirlie · 13/06/2013 19:26

CD23 here and we did well this month too, days 11 13 15 18 which is good for us but didn't get a +opk though so it was probably for nothing Sad AF due weds/thurs I think!

Thundercatsarego · 13/06/2013 19:02

Hey bunny! Good to see you cycle buddy! I'm on cd 25 and managed more dtd than most months. Af due mon/tues I think.

I'm ok thank you. Trying to think zen thoughts. And breathhhheeeee
