Wow!! Fantastic news on the eggies and spermies Maybe you rest and take ie easy now, lovely!

I am relieved to report little blob is now 9.6mm with a strong heartbeat. Thank you so much for all your brooking, I love you all lots too xx

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/07/2013 11:39

Thank you so so much everyone. Will know by 9 tomorrow what's happening! Very sleepy. It was quite painful, the sedation just made me a bit woozy. Normally when I've had sedation I have no recollection of anything. But it was all good. Nearly home now, so I shall be putting my feet up x

DinoSnores · 03/07/2013 11:32

Wonderful news, maybe! Brooking for them all!

SweetieTime · 03/07/2013 11:25

well done maybe you take it easy now. and another woo hoo for having the swimmers making it though defrost.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 03/07/2013 11:22

excellent news maybe you must be so relieved that the first hurdle is out of the way. I'm so pleased for you both. Now take it easy and have MrMaybe look after you - brookers orders :o

ThedementedPenguin · 03/07/2013 10:59

Tickety it's not sex week yet. So I've fingers crossed for a quick recovery but knowing Dp it's doubtful. Although I will keep my hopes up.

Maybe I'm glad things went well. That's brilliant on both news. So how long until you know if they are fertilised? Hope your not too sore.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/07/2013 10:59

Boo there will be deep penetration invoked Wink

I couldn't have done this without you lot xxx

keepitgoing · 03/07/2013 10:57

Yay yay YAY!!!!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/07/2013 10:54

GrinGrin I have never been so happy to hear that about someone else's husband Grin so are they on a date tonight? When will et be?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/07/2013 10:51

We've got sperm!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/07/2013 10:31

16 Shock no wonder your ovys felt heavy!! Well done you, brooking for Mr M's frosties.

keepitgoing · 03/07/2013 10:25

16!!! Brilliant. Well done!! :) Now upping brooking for the defrost process x

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/07/2013 10:18

Hello lovely brookers. I'm I'm recovery. I have laid 16 fen eggs. I'm sore but ok. I love you all xxx

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/07/2013 10:09

Oh Penguin that's poo, is it sex week?

Maybe, Solars still brooking for you both!!

ThedementedPenguin · 03/07/2013 10:02

Brooking for maybe and solars today.

keep I very much doubt it will be happening for me this month. Dp is 'sick', he had bloods done at docs yesterday and in the I'm feeling so sorry for me way.

We talked last night and he is on the no sex I'm far too sick. Hmm

BeedlesPineNeedles · 03/07/2013 05:25

Brooking hard for you today maybe

And for you scan solars

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/07/2013 04:14

Maybe brooking for you today, brooking loads for Mr M's frosties too.

musicalmrs · 03/07/2013 04:07

Maybe, I've been thinking of you lots. Will be brooking with all my might for you today - after your long journey, you deserve today to go wonderfully. I'll be lurking all day for news. I hope defrosting goes to plan, and that your ovaries feel more human soon...!

Solars, brooking lots for your scan to go well.

keepitgoing · 03/07/2013 02:04

Buddha could he have meant that you'll actually have the baby in a year or two? When er started my dh was vv nervous and almost changed his mind halfway through month one... I think we both thought ee would get pg straight away. Ha ha. I hope you can sort it out, as its v tough to wait.

penguin, are you getting ready for shag week??

maybe, good luck. It'll be a relief to get all those eggs out I bet! I'm brooking for eggs, sperm, fertilization...

Munxx · 02/07/2013 23:00

maybe I've been thinking about you all day, trying to compose a message for you to convey just how much I want tomorrow to go well for you. You've waited such a long time, and I know how nervous you are.

Brooking like anything for you, I hope it goes smoothly. Much love.

And Solars brooking your scan goes well tomorrow, brooking that you sleep tonight.

Much much love to all, Cups, kitty, lovely geek I hope the appointment gives you the answers you need and a plan forward.

Apologies for those I have not name checked.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/07/2013 21:54

Thanks Cups. Will check in when I'm back to let you know the good/bad news. They've told me to eat something before bed, but feeling too nervous Hmm

BlindKitty · 02/07/2013 21:37

cups that is impressive. Will you get to know his sperm count this cycle? We really do need to knuckle down again tbh. I dread to think what my dhs sa would be like post glasto!

OP posts:
NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 02/07/2013 20:53

Maybe I will be using all my brooking power for you tomorrow. I hope it goes well. I can't wait to hear how many eggs you get. Brooking for MrM's sample to defrost nicely.

Solars I'm not sure what you are doing tomorrow, I must have missed that part of your post but I'm brooking for you regardless Smile how are you feeling? Any symptoms?

Geek good luck for Saturday, I'm impressed how many appointments you get at the weekend! I hope MrG is doing ok with his work problems.

Beedle sorry to hear that your DM upset you a bit. My mum is always putting her foot in it but DH keeps reminding me her heart is in the right place.

Budda I'm sorry to hear that you might have to put of ttc. My DH also changed his mind a few times so I know how frustrating it can be. I pestered him for about 2 years before he gave in!

Kitty I'm totally amazed at my DH stopping drinking as he loves going out and having a few beers. When our consultant told him that his SA was so bad we would need ICSI he really sorted himself out. He has lost nearly 4 stone Shock (he was quite overweight) and hasn't had a drink in 4 months.

Olives and Sweetie I'm fine stabbing other people babies but when it comes to me I don't like it! It's definitely the pushing the needle in myself that I find strange. I think having some medical knowledge is not always a good thing Grin

BlindKitty · 02/07/2013 19:47

maybe omg I thought they didn't come until you actually have a baby!!!

buddha can I ask how old you are? If I'm really honest I wish we'd started so much sooner than we did but we waited for the perfect time. Now aged 33 and ttc over 2 years, really wish we'd started earlier

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/07/2013 19:47

Oh Buddha. That sounds tough. The one thing that TTC had taught me I that there is no 'right time' to have a baby. I think you will always find a way to cope. I'm hoping DH comes round soon.

Thanks so much Penguin. Believe it or not, this thread is much quieter at the moment Grin. hopefully tomorrow I will have some nice eggs, MrMaybes sperm will defrost properly and they will inject the eggs. Then we get a call the next morning to see how many have fertilised. Depending how many have fertilised if any have at all then they will either be put back in on Friday or Monday. Then it's 2 weeks of progesterone supplements and then a pregnancy test. And breathe Grin
