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

Glad to hear you're not poorly musical hope you get some clarity with what's going on AF-wise soon!

Maybe I'm adding nausea to my symptom list but I felt just the same last month. I think my body just hates me in the lead up to AF I'm afraid there won't be any PIAR action as I only have opks so I will see if AF turns up first!

How is everyone? Nearly Friday hurrah!

No Maybe - no sign. Of course. She likes to keep me on my toes...

In the olden days cramps like that would have been a definite precursor to AF's arrival. As she hasn't paid me a visit in over two years, I suppose things may have changed a bit..

Oh Geek what amaing news!!! What a weight off.

Any sign of AF this morning Musical?

Any more symptoms Cake?!

How was your birthday Cups? What lovely thingsdosnyou get up to?

Hurrah Geek! That's fabulous!

Cake I have thus far avoided the sickness! I have bouts of feeling ill, but then recovering - I think it's my body fighting off what the others have had. Hope that's all it manifests as! Hurrah for being so far through the 2ww :)

Very crampy here tonight. AF?! Crossing fingers! Although if it's ovulation, haven't managed to DTD for ages due to illness... may have to pounce on DH... he can take one for the team right?

ps no cake she's still here and it's CD14 now!

Squeeee twunty cons's secretary just called me back - I have an appointment with mr Twunty on 18th December to get my next jab on the NHS!!!

musical about three weeks before my first jab my gp wrote to the twunty consultant asking if he could authorise NHS spend for it as her practice pharmacist wasn't able to. We never heard anything back (this is about 5/6 weeks ago) so I assumed it was a no.

cake Looking forward to your weekend BFP confirmation. The law of boob says 'diffed'

cups hope you are still having an amazing day and that DP is treating you like royalty x

thank you maybe, me too!!!

Geek good news about the funding, brooking that it all gets sorted in time for you. Has AF buggered off yet?

cups you totally deserve an amazing day of feeling special, I'm so glad your DH is obliging! glad to hear you are feeling alright about your DB's baby, it sound like a tricky situation. I am dreadful for feeling upset at other people's pregnancy news and babies at the best of times, you are doing really well

musical hope you haven't come down with the sickness? sorry to hear about your bfn

I am about 3/4 of the way through the 2ww, AF due at the weekend. I just have sore boobs, nothing out of the ordinary as I have that every month pre-AF.

Right, really must get some work done today!

Oh Geek hat an amazing early crimbo present!!! Hope you manage to get it sorted in time for your next jab!!!

Happy birthday Cups! So glad your DH is pampering and spoiling you :-) You deserve it. Glad the baby arrived yesterday too, and that you're feeling ok about it.

Geek hurrah about the funding! How's that happened? Of course it will work out fine- power of Brooking :-)

Cake how are you doing? When are you due to POAS/PIAR/PIAROYC (receptacle of your choice! )

Happy birthday cups!! That's great news about your DB's baby's arrival. Now, today is all about you So pleased DH is doing a proper pamper job on you. You deserve it.

Well, I got a letter in the post yesterday from my twunty consultant. It seems like I might be able to get NHS funding for my remaining prostap! It won't help with what I've already had to buy myself, but I might be able to get the remaining two on the NHS. Spoke to his twunty secretary this morning (who must have swallowed a box of christmas cheer, she was actually nice, and even helpful!) and she will get him to call me to confirm but this may not be until next Tuesday. I'm a bit worried this might leave things too late if I need to get my private prescription filled as the pharmacy would need to order it in, and I have to have my next jab on Thursdy 19th December. Should be ok though, because I'm a Brooker

Sorry for lack of namechecks, work is cracking the whip.

I'm glad you're being looked after Cups, and I'm very pleased you're feeling ok about the baby x

Thanks for the birthday messages

My DH is spoiling me, I'm very lucky.

My DB had his baby yesterday, I feel fine about it today. I was down yesterday so glad it happened then and not today.

happy birthday cups sweetheart xx

Happy, not hay!

Hay birthday cups have a lovely day

Will do a proper post later!

Happy birthday lovely Cups!! Hope you are spoilt rotten today x

Glad you survived today's concerts Geek! Fingers crossed the antibiotics have done their job.

Ah second soprano is a nice part! I'm an alto, which I quite like.. though I do miss getting to attempt to squeal sing descants. I'm accompanying some carols on sax later this week, and get to play the descants, which is almost as good..

I'd quite like AF to arrive now. Realise it might take a while for a BFP, which I'm absolutely ok with some of the time, but an appearance from AF would be wonderful. As I'm happy to take an AF for the team, I would like her to arrive imminently and someone's else BFP to come too. .

Of course, we have Gen's AF that still hasn't had its BFP appear... and the imminent arrival of Sweetie's twins of course..

(((hugs))) cups what rotten timing, though it sounds like it would be an awkward situation even at best.

cake 2ww already??

musical what on earth is AF playing at? Hopefully all will become clear pronto preferably with your BFP!

maybe ooooh virtual birthday cake! Happy birthday for tomorrow cups

I've only got one day of antibiotics left, so should know by the weekend whether they have worked properly or not. Managed to get through today's two concerts - yay! musical I had five booked but couldn't make two of them so had my last two today. I sing second soprano (not even sure if that is the right technical term - I do the normal high bit while the descants go sailing off into the stratosphere with their notes!)

AF is still in residence, nothing too dramatic but enough to keep MrG uninterested

Your wish is my command cups . That's a tough situation with your DB. You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family

Keep I cannot even begin to imagine what my boobs will be like

So sorry about the bfn Musical. Bloody AF. I hope she sorts herself out

Cups, how tricky

keep, no idea where AF is! BF between 1 and 3 times a day (bedtime, sometimes nap time and once in the night). We were on just the one again, but now DD's ill the other two have crept back in. I think we'll be getting rid of the bedtime one over Christmas when DH has some time off to help.

Ooh Maybe I think I'll take you up on the virtual cake as then I don't have to feel guilty about the calories can i have a chocolate mint cake pretty please?!

Thanks everyone, I'm sure I'll feel better once the baby is here. It's complicated as I don't really have a good relationship with my DB and SIL. They live far away, they already have a DC who barely knows who I am as they make it difficult for us to be part of their lives. They don't get on with most of my family. I'm probably the closest to my DB but it's hard to keep the relationship going as it can be very one sided. So I think even if I wasnt ttc I would have mixed feelings about it all.

'Boobs confuse me'
I second R&P. Though I now only wear super glad stretchy bras due to ginormous fluctuations...

cups I think you'll feel better once the baby is here, but don't worry about not feeling happy. Your clinic really is making all this so much harder than it has to be, you poor love. Do you have something nice planned for your bday? In the future you'd probably think it fun to share with your nephew/niece. But for now it's ok just to get through things.

maybe I forgot how genius you are at baking? I could do with a good cake to celebrate cups' bday.

musical sorry about the bfn. Now where the flip is your AF? How many times a day do you bf?

Cups, you're not selfish at all. It's quite normal for brookers to feel down about other babies being born (or being on the way) - let alone you, who's been through so much. It definitely should be your turn next. I'd take up Maybe's offer of a birthday cake :) Have you got anything lovely planned for your birthday?

Geek, how're you feeling?

Maybe, how're you feeling too? (sorry for not replying to your message!).

BFN here this morn. Would quite like AF to roll up so I have some idea of what's going on. Luckily I'm too busy nursing the ill ones to dwell too much on it..

Lovely, you are simply not selfish. Please don't think you are. You are wonderful and lovely, and have been going through the shittest time. If I bake you a birthday cake, will it cheer you up? You can have anything you want

Scarlett boobs confuse me. Do you have a bravissimo near you? Or maybe a trip to rigby and peller? They are magic. They look at you and know what you should wear!!

Musical, been anywhere near a ramekin today?

Geek, how you feeling lovely?

How's the 2WW going Cake?

You disappeared off my threads I'm on as well. I'm a bad brooker

Scarlett C to an F can't be right! I probably need to get measured due to putting weight on. I've been dieting for a few weeks but haven't lost anything. I'm still half a stone up from the ivf.
How many days left at work? I've got 5 weeks.

Music so now things are quieter can we look forward to some PIAR action?!

Geek hope you are getting better.

I'm doing ok, my DSIL is booked in for a planned c section today. I'm feeling down about becoming an Aunty again. I just want it to be our turn. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm worried the baby will come then as they have said if any emergencies come in it may be tomorrow. I feel so selfish as I should be excited
