Your last thread got somewhat derailed so I thought I would treat you to a lovely shiny new place full of real open fires, fluffy blankets and an aga for baking bread and warming soups and stews. Back on with the job in hand ladies, lets have a round up of who's doing what and when.

I'll be waiting outside your bathroom door Wink

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 09:36

Tomorrow morning? Hopefully a better line will show up then!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/11/2013 09:07

Exciting stuff Too!! When are we getting confirmation?!

Fox82 · 11/11/2013 08:42

Good to hear from you Beedle and glad you're doing ok Thanks

Congrats to Keep! Can't wait to hear all about it!

That's so exciting Too!! Keep us updated!

CakePigeon · 11/11/2013 08:21

Oh too how exciting!

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 08:03

It might be! I honestly don't know yet.

First thing this morning, I poas. It was negative. Had a shower, which took at least 15 mins. When I got out, I picked the stick out of the bin up and there was a v v v faint line. Evap line? BFP?

GreenOlives · 11/11/2013 07:58

omg too! is that a very subtle way of announcing your bfp??!! Smile

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 07:30

Okay, I may be pulling a Stacks.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 12:20

Cups I'm afraid when you left you may have ticked the box that said you can't be added again :( Maybe ask one of the admin to open the group for a few minutes while we get you back in?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 10/11/2013 11:07

Oooh, how exciting! Will go peek into grads in a minute.

I shall poas tomorrow first thing if AF hasn't got me before then. I clearly ovved late, no matter what, so at least I'm getting better at spotting ewcm.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 09:13

Lovely news Boo! Nothing's come through on FB yet but I've had a peek at the grads thread.

Cake where are you? I've got holiday envy. I need a break! I've got an appointment on Tuesday with one of the consultants so hopefully I'll find out then.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 09:04

Cups I have had a go at adding you to the group as Keep is preoccupied (see my last post Wink ) anyone else need adding? I'm looking at you Geek.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 09:00

Morning ladies, there's news over on grads :):)

CakePigeon · 10/11/2013 09:00

Boo to working at the weekend cups when will you know if they will agree to move the date for you so you don't have to have another 3 month delay? Hopefully they will be helpful about it

No I'm on holiday :) I told DH I needed to get panty liners and he looked at me and said 'but you've got 2 in your handbag, how many does a woman need?' I give up!
I stopped taking it at the end of September so not that long ago really

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 08:48

Cake boo to spotting, fingers crossed AF stays away. How long have you been off the pill? Are you away with work?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 08:47

Beedle glad to hear you are doing ok. I understand you lurking for now. Do let us know how the review goes. We will be here when you are ready to come back x

Too how's things? Have you found an agreeable pee stick?

Fox that's great that all the results are ok. I hope your DH had a good birthday. The 5:2 diet sounds like hell, no way could I do that! Tell your DH I used to be CupcakesAndCocktails (my favourite food and drink) I changed it a while back as I stopped drinking for 6 months and was eating really healthy to get into shape for IVF. I'm now back to no drinking again Sad

I've been working all weekend, I don't start until 12 today so I'm having a bit of a lazy morning in bed. Went to see Thor last night after work, it was ok. My DH enjoyed it, he loves all that stuff.

Anyone up to anything exciting?

Keep thanks for trying, I've no idea how to request to join. I tried searching for the group but obviously nothing comes up as it's a secret group!

CakePigeon · 10/11/2013 04:20

Glad you are doing ok beedle, be kind to yourself

fox glad MrFox's results are clear and hope you are having a lovely birthday weekend together

Are you going to poas again Too?

I'm at cd20 and I'm spotting which is disappointing as I've never had a short cycle so a bit concerned that my cycles are all messed up still after coming off the pill grr also I'm in a foreign country sans feminine hygiene products so I'm going to have to track some down now :(

BeedlesPineNeedles · 09/11/2013 08:03

Thanks for all your kind messages. We're doing Ok. We have a review meeting in Dec, with our Dr. I think we'll have to do the FET round first before they'll let us do our 3rd fresh attempt. I'm going to ask if they can do any more tests on us (fairly sure the answer will be no) and if they'll do an endometrial scratch ( again probably no).

I'll probably just lurk for a while, but I'll be keeping an eye out for news of the imminent sneeze births

Fox82 · 08/11/2013 23:56

Hey everyone, so glad it's the weekend! It's DHs birthday tomorrow so we've been for a meal tonight! 'Twas yummy! Had some wine with the meal, and I don't drink wine, so feeling a bit tipsy and tired. But will have a go at posting! Finished making DHs birthday cake when I got home too, and in the process filled the kitchen with smoke, so not holding out much hope that it'll taste good!

I'm not too bad. If I'm not pg this month I'm going to have to do a lot of soul searching to find the cause of my foul moods - DHs birthday was threatened to be cancelled and his presents returned at least a couple of times Grin The moods could be explained by the 5:2 diet we've been doing though. I'm not good with lack of food

DHs results came back all clear which is great. I told him to ask for a copy of the results (Maybe's advise) but he still hasn't gotten around to it, and it think he's had enough nagging this week. I might try and casually mention it again next week Grin

Good luck with your appointment next week cups. DH just asked me to list some of the usernames on here and was very disappointed to hear yours was NO cupcakes or cocktails!! Grin

Hope you get a good reply to your letter scarlett, you definitely deserve another go by the sounds of things!

Maybe how's things going with you?

Exciting about ttc again musical! Grin

Not long to go now keep! Bet you can't wait! Do you feel ready/organised

Brooking for you Too! Here's hoping our rage is due to very imminent bfp's! Grin

Thinking of you Beedle x

musicalmrs · 08/11/2013 15:38

Oooh Too - when will you POA actual S? Lots of brooking going on here.

Keep - how very exciting that yours and Sweetie's snuggly brooking babies are very nearly here!

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 08/11/2013 15:22

Sorry, that was v self-involved! Beedle, I have been thinking about you a lot - how are you doing?

Cups, Brooking hard for an appt before Christmas! I don't think you should have to wait 3 months either, grr! Angry on your behalf.

Maybe, I am phoning it in to the extent that the DVD has not yet left its box! Blush

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 08/11/2013 15:18

In my news, I poaOPK today as an ersatz pg test and it was...negative. Sad However:

AF is not due until tomorrow according to FF
I think I ovulated late so AF would therefore be due Monday
It wasn't FMU, it was about 11am, although I hadn't peed since half-past 6.

Maybe OPKs aren't as sensitive as proper pg tests?

I was using OPKs because I had some - I only have one pg test atm and I wanted to wait until AF was actually late (if the evil witch doesn't arrive tomorrow, that is) - and I discovered I was pg with M by using OPKs. I was having a really weird cycle - I got 3 BFNs over the course of a week starting on CD 28, and then a week later AF still hadn't arrived, so I got a CB digital OPK and immediately got a smiley face. The next day I got another smiley, then a third and fourth and the penny gradually dropped that it was picking up HCG not luteal hormones. However, that was my last OPK stick, so it'll have to be the cheapie Tesco pg test next. Don't you dare show up, AF! I do have The Rage of PMT, although that could have been due to hunger, the state of the kitchen in general and the dishwasher in general (why can DH not rinse plates before he puts them in the dishwasher? I wind up having to handwash half of his loads because they come out still dirty), and the negative OPK. Confused

keepitgoing · 08/11/2013 13:31

cups i just tried to readd you to FB but it says you can't readd an old member without them requesting it so send me a request if you can. I agree that you should say that you shouldn't have to be delayed due to them changing the appointment. How regular is AF? maybe she won't turn up on xmas day but a bfp will anyway. and do they not let anyone have treatment in the month before christmas? That seems a bit nuts.

scarlett i forgot about that. I think it sounds like a winnable argument - and we are all brooking for you!

Yes, I am on mat leave for a week now :) 37 weeks today... sweetie's last day today. Am sat here drinking raspberry leaf tea and have just been for newborn cuddles... That means three babies will be born soon, so 3 bfps should be coming right up.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 08/11/2013 11:55

Music that's v exciting about ttc soon Grin

I'm not good at waiting at the best of times!

Can someone add me back to the FB page? I'm scared of missing anything now there are a few brookers due soon.

musicalmrs · 08/11/2013 11:46

That's good news about the appointment Cups, but how rubbish about the potential delay. Rubbish about how long you're waiting for your new job too - everything takes so long doesn't it?

Will be keeping fingers crossed for the funding Scarlett. Think you're right - it's always worth trying.

I think this time next week I'll officially be a TTC brooker again :D (though goodness knows what'll be going on cycle wise... I'm expecting at least a couple of months worth of settling down for AF first).

Thinking of you lots Beedle.
