The Elderberry Pavlovas- All aboard the Berrycopter. Thread 14

Bunny, blind, boodle, good luck for testing today (nudge nudge)
Yorkie FX your appointment goes well

Break a leg kitty

blind good luck with the testing tomorrow

Hugs barking wishing you a restful night with better news tomorrow x

I love my friends in rl but unless they've been ttc a long time or been through a mc then they don't really understand how it feels no matter how lovely they are. That's what we're here for barking to support each other because we know how it feels.

Thanks happy

rum I'll let you know if my fsh research made a bind bit of difference to my figures after tomorrow. Fx for your appt next week.

happy well it'd be rude not to even if I have to keep it from Dh

Thanks happy/yorkie/rum, xpost while I was rambling....

I don't know what I'd have done over the past few days without the berries.

Thanks RP. Bleeding by itself doesn't necessarily spell doom, and spotting or brown blood is considered normal, but bright red blood, lots of it, with clots and nasty lumps in it, is generally not good news. It's also not a good sign that it's been getting heavier over the last 4 days, or that it's accompanied by really bad cramps. I can't even see the yellow brick road from where I am right now.

Just typed a massive waffle and then deleted it as I'm rambling now. Need to finish my planning so I can email it to school and then go to bed.

Barking so sorry to hear that the bleeding is getting worse but glad to hear your DP is home and you're being looked after.

I can indeed confirm that Bunny single handedly evicted the original grads for too much baby talk, so Thunder you should be honoured that you're allowed to stay

Fx for you tomorrow Yorkie

Kitty are you testing tomorrow??

Glad he's there with you barking so sorry you're going through this. We're all here for you. I hope you're not planning on going into work tomorrow. You need to rest and look after yourself.

barking I'm so very sorry. What you're going through sounds awful.

yorkie I'm intrigued by your FSH research! I can't really be arsed to do any as we're just going to try the one cycle of IVF we can get on the NHS anyway, so it all seems to be down to a wing and prayer in a way. But I'd be keen to know of any ways one could "improve" the number/egg quality. Presumably just eating well/exercise/etc?

You ladies chat a LOT. Then again, I've been off t'internets for a whole week. Work has been running me into the ground. But I've also started a sewing course, which is great fun. And it's autumn! I love autumn. It's so cosy. I shall think lots of cosy thoughts at our FC pre-IVF consultation appointment this week. I've just read some of your other experiences with interest.

Anyway. Must go to bed or I shall never function tomorrow.

....I had a .2 rise in bbt ths morning and wonder if perhaps I OV late - it's CD16 for me - but DH doesn't want to break open a new pack of his meds so we can't do anything about t this month. Garrrr I really need to sort out properly when I'm OV.

Barking I'm really sorry. Look, I don't know if this helps, but if the worst has happened, you do know you can get pg and that is one big step. Also bleeding doesn't necessarily mean mc, does it?

That must be very, very tough and so worrying, though.

Oh barking so sorry to hear the bleeding is worse but glad dp is looking after you

barking thinking of you

Ha! Really? I didn't know that! Think I joined this thread about feb so must have missed it!!!

Yes, yorkie, lovely DP is back. He said he was very sorry for leaving me this weekend and wouldn't again (even though it was me who insisted and practically pushed him out of the door). He went to the supermarket to find me more painkillers and ordered a takeaway .

Bleeding however is getting worse again as are the cramps. Mate keeps telling me if my body is rejecting it there's a good reason and it just wasn't supposed to happen this time .

Lol at image of berries clinging desperately to thunders legs

thunder as an original berry and the one who accidentally 'pushed out' the first grads by asking them to chat about prams elsewhere I feel I should say something, STAY!
You obviously have the helicopter thread to chat about baby stuff but please pop and see us lots (along with the other copter girls), share advice and let us know how you are getting on x

Ladies I will leave if you feel more comfortable with me gone. Please just say and I'll understand. In the meantime, I now have Lindt chocolates....?

cukin I thought you'd posted by accident as well! Normally people just start their own threads with questions like that!

Lovely wise thunder we need you to look after us. ha ha I've got an image of me, kitty and bunny clinging on to your legs as we try to get you to take us with you!

Stardust finished so up for watching anything in the berry house now

Hope the fact barking has gone quiet means her other half has appeared and is looking after her.

Yep we like to know a gal before we chat!

Grabs and snuggles under duvet of despair distraction!
