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.

keep I have a blood test on Monday and then if its teh same as last time a scan on Thursday, when they will hopefully decide when to do EC.
I'm sure you'll quickly learn which way up to hold the baby, and which end to put the nappy on :o

NoMaybeAboutIt · 10/10/2013 10:19

Oh Fox the 2ww is the worst. Well done on the rat smacking action Wink

Glad all went well last night Beedle! Roll on EC.

Scarlett, fill us in!!!!!

keepitgoing · 10/10/2013 10:16

oh beedle yay - well done! I think it goes fast once you start stimming until the tww... When's your first scan? You were quite fast at stimming last time weren't you? A fast grower.

No, it doesn't seem at all real, even though our house is overflowing rather full of baby things! I've not read anything on what to do with a baby once you have it. I don't know why, I think it's because it's still feeling unreal...

fox nice work on multiple rat smackings. I'm brooking that this is going to be your month. Anything fun to pass the 2ww?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 10/10/2013 09:12

Thanks fox 1st jab was done last night, only another 9 or 10 to go :o

Aww keep washing little babygros, does it seem real yet that you're going to have a screaming puking cute baby soon?

Fox82 · 09/10/2013 22:39

Hope the stimming went well beedles! And hope the interview went well scarlett??

No news here. Me and MrF have put in a good effort this month, so I'll be annoyed if AF arrives! Just starting the 2ww now [yawn]

So sweet washing the baby stuff keep. Exciting! Smile

keepitgoing · 09/10/2013 10:52

Oops, meant to post this on AN thread.

keepitgoing · 09/10/2013 10:50

Last night's house needed a bit too much work for the money they were asking, so my favourite is still the first one. Only problem is a fairly small, and north facing, garden.

Good luck for the MW appointment. Given you've got your own doppler it will probably be rather boring though. My next one is Thursday next week (34 weeks one).

I am working at home today and washing lots of baby things that we bought at the weekend, so they can go in my hospital bag. :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/10/2013 09:56

Thinking of you Scarlett!

Good luck for tonight Beetle. You will have better luck this time x

How are the rest of the brookers? I hope you're all too busy smacking the furry rodent to post Wink

keepitgoing · 09/10/2013 08:59

Brooking for beedles stimming tonight! And good luck Scarlett you'll ace it.

Hope the old fashioned rat smacking is going well for nurse fox stacks and the others x

CakePigeon · 08/10/2013 11:40

solars it's really lovely to see you again, I'm so glad you graduated :) yay how far along are you now?

good luck for your interview scarlett good luck with your presentation, sounds like you are really well prepared though

sorry to hear about all the illness stacks and Mrgeek an actual flipping spider bite in the uk? that it truly terrifying although, as a full on phobic, it does give me some sense of vindication to all those who say not to be so stupid because they are harmless!

best of luck beedles
and best of luck for rat smacking nurse

BeedlesPineNeedles · 08/10/2013 11:20

geek hope MrGeek is starting to feel a bit better, his hand looks really nasty. I hope its good news from the clinic when you speak to them

I'm still not feeling as hopeful as I did last time but I'm hoping that all the vitamins etc we've been taking will have done some good. and our doc did say that she thought we just had bad luck with the poor fertilisation rate last time so I'm hoping we have better luck this time

NoMaybeAboutIt · 07/10/2013 20:33

That goes without saying Wink

ControlGeek · 07/10/2013 20:29

Ha! Just goes to show what good taste we Brookers have Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 07/10/2013 20:12

Ouchy! That looks nasty Geek. He really is being a trooper.

As an aside, we have those placemats!!

ControlGeek · 07/10/2013 20:04

Ended up spending yesterday evening at the hospital seeing the out of hours GP maybe - she prescribed ab's and piriton but there was nowhere to fill the prescription at that time of a Sunday. Managed to get it done today but by this morning the swelling had spread right up to his elbow. It's still spreading now, but at least it has slowed down. It's the itching that's driving him bonkers! He's ever so good though, he never milks anything. He's so un-man-like when it comes to illness. The pharmacist told him yesterday to go to a GP if it was no better by Tuesday - I was so worried that I did an AIBU about waiting that long because I'm a paranoid fecker and an arachnophobe to boot so that's how we ended up in OOH. Pics are on my profile if you want to see the grossness Grin

The jam is lush, by the way

NoMaybeAboutIt · 07/10/2013 19:54

Oh no!! Has he got some antibiotics? Poor old MrG. Is he doing what MrM would do, and milking it for all it's worth??!!

That jam sounds amazing.

ControlGeek · 07/10/2013 19:50

It was my fault, maybe - I was working all weekend so left him a list of things to do, including wood preserving the summerhouse. To do that he had to shift a load of bits from round the back of it, and that's where he reckons he was bitten. No sign of the little blighter so no actual idea what it was but there are a few contenders, judging by some of the stories of uk spider bites.

Solars · 07/10/2013 19:41

Wow I've just been reading the whole thread and Cake lovely, I remember you too! I've often wondered how you were, that was a tough decision to make at the time and glad you've come out of it the other end and ready to start ttc again. Will be brooking for you heaps! I have only recently graduated so was here quite a while after you left!

Brooking for your interview tomorrow Scarlett

Good luck with the stimming Beedle

Big waves to everyone else x

NoMaybeAboutIt · 07/10/2013 19:36

Oh no! Poor MrG. How'd he manage that one?

ControlGeek · 07/10/2013 19:14

I need to call my clinic some time this week. I have Thursday and Friday off work so will call then rather than risk more tears in the office if it gets delayed until Feb. Kind of distracted from it at the moment as MrG is very poorly with a spider bite. Apparently, cracking a joke about going shopping for red and blue lycra isn't funny Confused

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 07/10/2013 18:29

Ooh upping the brooking over here :) that's great news Beedle! Good luck for your interview Scarlett.

Get smacking that rat Fox

Big snogs for Geek Grin what's news with you?

Can't remember what else I read now Blush

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 07/10/2013 18:25

That's brilliant news Beedle. How are you feeling?

Any news your end Geek?

ControlGeek · 07/10/2013 18:22

The very best of luck for tomorrow scarlett

maybe that's great news! It must be such a relief for you.

beedle ooh exciting times ahead! Well done, you're nearly there now. This is the one for you, I just know it. Brooking like crazy!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 07/10/2013 14:40

Good luck for tomorrow scarlett

Glad you're feeling a bit better maybe

Just had a call from the clinic, I will be starting stimming on Wednesday, same dose as before

Fox82 · 07/10/2013 14:09

That's positive - a step in the right direction! I think anyone who has had to wait for their bfp should have an uneventful pregnancy - it should be law! Grin Hope your appetite returns soon and you can eat plenty of Cake

Yes what a great month this is going to be for me! A new house at rock bottom price and a bfp! Wink
