The Brookers will get their BFP's by any means necessary, thats the definition of Brooking No Argument!

beedle how are you doing?

What other rat smacking news? Hope everyone had good weekends

Oooh beedle if only! Both MrG and I have expired passports which we keep promising to renew. I'd love to see Sweden, especially in the snow (you are in Sweden and it does snow right?) Hope the crinone is treating you gently and not building up too much. Do remember to have a periodic clear-out as recommended by one of the websites linked to last time

booooooooooo that'd be sparks then ooooh yes and I'm meeting up with you too bwahahaha

thank you maybe it does all feel very quick! MrG is all over his spider bite now, the scab finally fell off yesterday (lovely!) and the colour's almost back to normal. And 'tis our very own sparks and boo that I will be meeting with, and hopefully also meeting booby and twinks for the first time How are you feeling now? Are the meds still working?

I'm going to be mostly sleeping

I'm back, my lovely phone is home and I am happy and they have updated it with all new fancy stuff I am a very happy boo!

A brooking meet up you say Geek and which attractive, witty and extremely charming Brooker are you meeting Now, don't be nervous about meeting Mr G's son, you're lovely and he will see that maybe practice your evil step mother cackle just in case

Beedle brooking my arse off for the Beedle 2

Not up to much here over the weekend, but it is half term now so we're pacing ourselves

Ooh geek are you coming to foreign lands to se me?
I'm sure it is just a precaution, it was just a bit strange that they didn't say anything last time.

maybe the crinone is ok so far, I think its working as I have really sore boobs. I'm just trying not think about how much buildup I'm going to get with a double dose [boak]

Now its the weekend, is anyone doing anything interesting? you c

Don't be nervous lovely Geek! This is such a massive step for you both, especially compared to where you were this time last year!! How is MrG feeling about it? Is he all recovered from his run in with the spider? And pray tell who are you seeing

How you doing Beedle? Hope that crinone is being kind.

beedle I'm sure they just gave you the information as a precaution - from what I've read, OHSS is actually pretty rare, particularly in its life threatening form, mostly because people are given really good advice as standard these days (drink loads of water etc) and know what to look out for to catch it early if it does start. Hope the prune juice is working for you!

keep I know - most of them are leftovers from my last IVF round. I won't be bothering with using any brand until I have a decent line on FRER in future. I'll be sticking to nothing but FRERs for testing out my trigger on my next cycle, hence building up my stock slowly since they're not cheap. Going through a cycle without sticks was easier than I thought it would be! I still temped because I like advance warning of when AF is due but because I never started peeing on sticks I didn't have the withdrawal symptoms that I normally do after ov. I'll be putting my CBFM on ebay next week, get some pennies for more FRER packs Christmas.

musical whohoo you have a plan and you are getting close to starting!!! Perhaps you can do a stacks

Thank you, lovely ladies, for your encouraging comments about the welltimed hotel and meeting MrG's son. I am shockingly nervous about it! To take my mind off it, I am hoping to meet up with a fellow brooker or two whilst I'm out and about on my holiday travels

Can't believe I forgot to comment Geek how fantastic that you have both been invited to see Mr G's son that's great!! Also loving the idea of a hotel stay on your ironic cycle

You are absolutely right keep we would probably get the correct result on teh 4th but I think MrB thinks that I jinxed it last time by testing early and then almost immediately started spotting (i'm not sure what he thinks you do with a pregnancy test - perhaps I should explain that it only involves pee :o ) Plus he's really quite stressed about other stuff at the moment so maybe the extra few days of believing I might be pregnant will be nicer even though I'll be climbing teh walls desperate to test

geek I also meant to comment on your well-timed night in a hotel. I hope the meeting goes well and MrG is up for the SWI

I prefer pregnant UNLESS proven otherwise - that's more in the brooking spirit!

beedle glad you're feeling ok. Just keep drinking lots of water. I think it'd usually be standard to talk about OHSS risks. Maybe last time your follies hadn't filled up anyway. Just keep an eye on yourself for the next few days; I'm sure it'll be fine - as you say some people get hundreds of follies. But you have three perfect embies. I think your plan sounds like a good one, apart from one thing - that you had EC on Monday, so you should be able to test with a high degree of confidence 14 days after that, which is the 4th, ie before you go away!!

geek that's a lot of tests even for you... How did you feel going a month with any poas-ing?! Did you get withdrawal symptoms? Oh, I meant to say before, how lovely that you are going to see MrG's son!! So pleased that things are progressing there - just fab!

oh musical i see what you mean. I thought you'd stopped the pill and were still waiting for AF to come back. Hopefully it won't take you any time to adjust anyway. Every 2/3 days sounds like a good plan, and not too exhausting...

I also thought that there might be a spreadsheet boooo

I'm feeling OK thanks geek still a bit bloated but lesss than last time. Might be because I'm less constipated, I had stocked up on prune juice in advance
The doc scanned one of my ovaries yesterday (it was in the way!) and we could see that all the follicles had refilled with fluid, she then spoke a bit about the symptoms of OHSS. But they didn't do this last time, so I'm wondering if this was just standard (but that they didn't do it last time as the dr wasn't confident enough about how to say everything in English) or that she was worried I could be affected, though it seems fairly unlikely with just 9 follicles.

beedle what a nightmare about testing. Your plan is a good 'un though. How are you feeling?

I don't have a peestick spreadsheet and had to count everything apart from the ics, which I know I've only used 2 of. In fact, on my last cycle, I didn't use a single stick, not even an icov or cbfm stick!!! to be honest I was a bit surprosed how many I jad until I rememberrd I've already started stocking up on frers for testing out my trigger.

I think Geek has a spreadsheet with these thing on Beedle

geek did you just know how many you have or did you have to check?

Thanks stacks but I have a fair few IC plus a FRER from olives :o

cups I also thought that the beedle 2 made them sound like criminals my poor babies already branded criminals before they've even implanted Good luck with work.

too PUPO means pregnant until proven otherwise

musical only 3 weeks left to wait , does MrM know that you're counting down the days

I don't think MrB will really hide the tests he's just scared about me testing early, we've been told twice by the clinic not to bastards
So OTD is the 7th and I'll be away for 2 days with work on the 6th and 7th. So if I test early and its negative we'll be apart from each other feeling really crap, and it seems really unfair to test when I'm away from him in a hotel room (possibly sharing with a colleague ) So I reckon that evening testing at 17dpEC with a FRER (when I get home) should give an accurate response. The clinic have already said its ok not to phone them on OTD

Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise Loving the weather watch Too and good luck with the silent non creaking swi tonight

48 ICs
7 FRERs
7 Morrisons Own
3 Superdrug
1 Clear Blue Plus
1 Clear Blue Digital

Oooh, yippee for the Beedle 2! What does PUPO mean, please? Is OTD 14 days from yesterday, then?

Loving the weather forecasts - in my part of the UK skies are looking unusually clear, but we'll see! Family arriving tonight - I am going with them to see The Lion King in the theatre, while DH is at home putting M to bed. Creatively silent non-baby-awakening or bed-creaking swi commences tonight...

Yay for the Beedle 2! Brooking

Yay Beedle congrats on being PUPO!!! The Beedle 2 sound like criminals, I now have an image of two asbo embryos
Sorry I didn't get chance to check in yesterday, I was thinking of you and MrB though.

Hi to everyone else, I've not read back sorry. We have a big inspection at work today. I'm dreading it. Just got to get through 2 double shifts today and tomorrow.

Nope, no AF whatsoever keep! Last time I didn't bother with OPKs or similar - in the month we got our BFP we smacked the rat every 2/3 days. I've told DH I think similar conditions may make us successful this time - so we're on all the same vitamins, and I think he's looking forward to the mad SWI initially .

I know I should probably come off of the pill and then wait for first AF before TTC, but c'est la vie..

Loo trip. Loo now defaults to kip... that my phone knows kip makes me go a thousand times a day...

Woo hoo beedle fab fab news. Last time was just a blip. I think knowing I wouldn't bleed was easier, as I was less mental each kip trip, just counting the time to otd.

Could you poas a day early, so mrB could be there or four days a la sweetie

musical no af?! Are you just going to smack the rat all the blooming time?! Brooking she doesn't get a chance to return.

stacks you may be beaten by geek who generally has more pee stick choice than Boots do. geek, let's have an inventory please? ... :)

Amazing news Beedle! Such exciting news!!

Beedle, that's excellent news!
