Boodle PM me your details if you want them. I've got loads and there is little chance of me getting pg before my next IVF in 6 months, so they are only going to go to waste.

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 22:48

Phew boodle not just us then! lol. squabbling didn't last long and then he tried to jump on me, had to tell him no as itchy bitch in town, poor thing!

Boodle9 · 07/09/2013 22:42

Pip...I don't mind taking the tests off your hands if no one else is feeling cheeky! I dare say I'll be needing some over the coming months as the clomid continues to lengthen my LP and unfairly get my hopes up.

Bunny - that's exactly the sort of thing that me and my manlump would argue about! I often ban him from using the bathroom after I've cleaned in anticipation of visitors. We have a downstairs loo too but he sulks!

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 21:44

Ugh just has a shouting match with H (no dear right now) all over him using the loo I'd cleaned ready for tomorrow's visitors, we don't squabble about big stuff, it's always the stooopid petty stuff Confused

RevoltingPeasant · 07/09/2013 21:10

Thunder, wow, your scan is amazing! That's only 12 weeks? I had no idea they could be so distinct then! Congrats. How did your mum react?

Thanks all for the tip on cheaply oPKs - I bought some last night. I think I didn't OV this month but hopefully they will help me establish for sure next cycle.

yorkiebilb · 07/09/2013 21:00

Sorry to all those for who AF arrived. Hope you're treating yourselves in someway today.

kitty I have absolutely everything crossed for you.

thunder I am absolutely over the moon for you. Fantastic news! You must be so relieved after everything you've been through. Please please pop back and say hi on the thread...I feel sad that you're leaving us - happy for you of course though!

Pipbin · 07/09/2013 20:59

A while ago I said that I had some tests needing a home but no one said they wanted them. Any takers?
There is a CB Digital, a First Response and a twin pack of Superdrug ones. All went out of date at the beginning of the month but I bet they still work.

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 20:51

We need some more BFPs!!!

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/09/2013 20:36

Everyday!! First positive 10dpo. But I have a shortish LP so it kind of had to be then or never!

BlindKitty · 07/09/2013 20:32

Yeh the brookers reckon 10dp trigger is fine. What day did you test with the ic merk?

funkymonk · 07/09/2013 20:01

Good luck kitty. I so hope tomorrow is a great day for you Thanks!!

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/09/2013 19:49

My first (v faint) was an IC, but a line is a line even if its a squinter! 10dpo is early but I would say its too late to get a false positive from the trigger (in experience of other people testing daily until they get a negative after the trigger it took no more than 8 days). Everything crossed. Remember I did not have a single symptom x

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 19:47

Ae you def gonna test tomorrow kitty?

BlindKitty · 07/09/2013 19:43

merk afraid not (apart from abdo cramps) so not holding out much hope but then I'm only 10dpo today and 11dp trigger. Only have Ic and ones from the hospital though, no cbfr, do you think it'll work?

happylass · 07/09/2013 19:36

Good luck for tomorrow Blind. Keeping everything crossed for you, it's definitely your turn.
Well done on getting referred so quickly Funky. Before they'll let me anywhere near the FC I have had to have 3 cd21 tests, a cd3 test (which my GP did on cd9 because she didn't listen when I told her otherwise ) and a chlamydia test. DP has also had to have a SA (which is probably out of date by now as it was done last December) and a Chlamydia test!
Flowers for all those who have been visited by the evil witch today

Thundercatsarego · 07/09/2013 19:29

Oo blind, loads of luck for testing tomorrow. I'll definitely be lurking for that one.

No didn't cry this time but only because I managed to stop myself at the point I realised we would be able to go and tell my mum some good news.

funky great news on getting the ball rolling. Well done for being so assertive.

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/09/2013 19:03

When was the trigger blind? How many days post O/trigger/ transfer (not sure of the IUI technical term!) are you now? Any 'symptoms'?

BlindKitty · 07/09/2013 19:02

merk have managed to control myself but then only because I could theoretically get a false positive from the trigger shot! Might do one tomorrow though, even though its bound to be the usual result!

thunder good work cadet!!! Splendid news! Did you cry? Smile

Pipbin · 07/09/2013 18:46

Funky we had to do blood and SA before referral too. However it was our local hospital that both did the bloods and we were refered to.

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 17:50

funky we had to have bloods and sperm test before referral.

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/09/2013 17:49

Sid around? How did the appointment go today?

Congrats Thunder on your lovely scan!! Grin Grin Grin

Anyone heard from Tally? Is she home?

I went to the GP this morning. Told her what I thought the problem was. She said I was probably right and asked if I wanted a referral to fertility clinic. I have done a choose and book appointment on the internet this afternoon and I am going on 10th Oct. This is a short wait compared to what I was expecting. Should the GP not have done blood tests etc first or do the FC do these? What happens at first FC appointment? I am clueless. Confused
Husband also needs to do a jizz test prior to this.

RP I second what Merkin said. I had a CB Fertility Monitor and I still used Amazon cheapy OPKs to confirm.
As someone else said, if you've got to the stage where you are considering a CB monitor then you know your cycle well enough to not need one.

Amazing picture Thunder so exciting!

haycorn · 07/09/2013 15:32

Sorry Fox, must have copied and pasted wrong list! Blush

Bunnygirlie · 07/09/2013 14:22

Wow thunder how clear and how very exciting, so chuffed for you x
