BFPs will be falling like Autumn Leaves for the Rat Smackers, and we are Brooking No Argument!

thanks kitty

the clinic has just rung me to see if we could move EC forward a week (and therefore only DR for 2 weeks) but I checked with MrB and he has a load of meetings that week so I had to turn them down. Its only 1 week so it doesn't really matter, but it does leave me wondering if they're going to be really busy when I'm in (I might be overthinking this a teeny bit :o )

beedles thanks bud! I think I've defo had done good brooking action so I'll be brooking hard back for you

I'm brook, brooking all the way for you Beedle

Lovely to see you Stacks and hopefully Musical soon too!

Thanks keep yes we had a lovely holiday just laying in the sun, reading, swimming, relaxing and eating lots :o

rubber yes I'm back with the sniffer dog again :o

Thanks maybe are you feeling any better?

Oh Beedles ow exciting! I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Hope you're feeling refreshed after your holiday x

Hello again Stacks! How are you?

Do you get a sniffer dog again?

oh beedle this one is your time. I am so excited for you. I really hope the downregging goes well, I don't think you found it too awful last time? But even so I hope that you can stimm asap. Di you have a good holiday?

Been back from holiday for a week and I thought it was about time I came back to brooking!

kitty Congratulations on your BFP :o sorry about the spotting, it must be so scary but I'm sure its really nothing.

maybe hope you feel better soon

scarlett well done on your job interviews, though I have to say 3 rounds of interviews sounds a bit much

keep you are indeed right about my next attempt being soon, I started downregging this morning. I think it will be 3 weeks again, but I won't get a definite date to start with stims until they call me in a couple of weeks.

Oh and welcome back stacks I have to say I thought gobbelino who was here a few months ago was you so now I have no idea who gobbelino is/was

I'm quite excited about trying again but at the same time I'm convinced it won't work

ooh stacks that's exciting. You're hoping for a fairly small gap between the two of them then? Did it take you long last time to conceive? Brooking that this is the last time that AF visits for a good long time. Are you back at work already?

Can't wait for the meet up, brookers!

PM'd you Scarlet

Please can someone send the details for the meet up on Sunday, I'm not on the FB group, ta muchly xx

How exciting Stacks :o

Would I be welcome back trying to TTC #2? My baby Brooker Thomas is nearly 9 months old now, and old Aunt Flo is here for her first visit.

Nurse as I live in Cornwall I can confirm that you had normal weather for this time of year :)

over here

Ok so I braved it but I couldn't find it!! Which thread do you go in???

Thank you wise brookers! Some reassurance is very much appreciated! I'm feeling loads a bit better about it anyway.

Will warily mooch on down to the grads thread then...even if I'm a bit scared!

Oh, and every time we are down in devon, it's always a wash out

Sounds like you're a normal couplt to me Nurse . That's good you have a few dys of admin to ease you in. What wards will you be on?

If it makes you feel better, I only managed a bit of yoghurt from the spread

Is anyone else bloody freezing?!

Hello hello, well, mr nurse and I are defs in the middle of a transitional period. He is coping admirably with my mountains of stuff which is still everywhere, and despite the odd blazing row tiff, we are doing ok.

First day at work today, albeit a day of mostly admin, more of the same the morra, then my first shifts on the wards are on sat & sun. I fear the early starts and hour + daily commute may break me long before the nursing does.

Luckily, I have been so busy I haven't really had time to think about the fact I'm still not preggers.

maybs Cornwall was a washout good. It was nice to be away, but I had lots of things waiting for me coming back which was a distraction. And I'm sure your autumnal brekkie was lush, but unfortunately I missed it - I wolfed down a bowl of museli at about 0612hrs this morning.

oh kitty it's so scary when you get spotting, isn't it? But honestly honestly honestly, more people do than don't. There are a billion reasons from it - breakthrough period bleeding, implantation bleeding, cysts, irritation of cervix from sex or dildocams or embryo transfer/IUI, as well as more sinister ones. I had bleeding at 7 weeks, and at 12 weeks, and totally panicked. The advice seems to be if it's light and brown then it's nothing to worry about, but if it's red, heavy, clotty then to seek help. Having said all that I know how it feels. I was always scared to go to the loo for weeks, and given how often i go that made life quite a chore...

great to have nurse back. Give us the low down on living-together-life. When do you start work again?

beedle i think it's not long till your next cycle now, is that right? I am limbering up for lots of dancing.

best fluff up the cushions and lay out a buffet ready for kitty

You're very right Boo

Um, Maybe we're very inclusive over on grads, not just for Kitty's kind

Seriously though Kitty do come over, we will keep you sane hold your hand while your Kitten settles in.

Kitty, I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry. Spotting is totally normal. Especially at the stage you are at. I had spotting until last week, and I'm 13 weeks now! It is terrifying everytime it happens though. Here for lots of hand holding. Come and join us on the grads, we will put your kind at rest x

Good luck on your first day Nurse!

How is everyone else today?
