The Elderberry Pavlovas head into 2014 which will be full of ivf, berry babies and BFPs!!!  (thread 17)

barking and blue yes! It was actually on Thursday and have been out every night since. Feel like in the last three days I've managed to undo all the hard work from the last four weeks!

blue I know a couple who Turkey basted after two years ttc. They now have a three year old! Dare I ask what a 'vagina jack' is?!?! I can't bring myself to google it

lady slim & save looks hardcore! You were on it for four months? I doff my cap to you as I don't know that I would last. How much did you lose? happy, barking and RP am on MFP but a bit lazy with keeping it updated. Am trying though! I'm featherfeather79. I'm just trying to pre-empty what the fc will say if I get the go ahead for IVF - don't want anything to hold up the process so getting on with it. I think I need to lose a 1.5-2stone

barking yay! You know what to do!

How are you doing pip?

And where's funky and kuma these days?

Aquarius remind me where you're at in ttc again? So much of us that I can't keep track.

Is it time we did another bunny-style list?

Hi Aqua, was the lap to get to the bottom of painful af then? Do you have an appt booked with the FC to vent talk though next steps etc?

Pip you are very brave! Sorry if this has been discussed before, but did you have endometrial scratching with any of your IVF's? I don't know if it common practice or not.

Happy Birthday Feather!

Barking I have the same problem with my temps in the morning and waking early - it happened again this morning and I found this BBT adjuster if you are interested.

I've started spotting and AF is due tomorrow, so it all begins again. I'm seriously considering investing in a turkey baster thingy (and a vagina 'jack'?) to make sure everything 'hits the spot'. I must be desperate.

Feather I did slim&save. A bit extreme but fast results so kept me motivated. I lost most of it in 4 months and I've kept it off for 5 months. I'd like to lose a bit more but not on a VLCD.

Happy I have totally sacked off MFP

Will look you up when I am motivated enough to get back on though!!

Pip I'm sorry, that just feels like rubbing it in! But at least you will see someone, talk it through and get a game plan together, instead of just being sat around waiting.

So FF reckons I OV on CD13 which has never happened in the whole course of my ttc existence - always 16 or 17 - which now means our shagging, limited as it was, was necessarily too late so currently in the middle of the most pointless 2ww ever.

But I did buy a dehumidifier today, which I confidently expect to revolutionise my life!

Pip hope you and your OH are doing ok and being well looked after

Yey for Barking's temp rise! Chart is looking great!

RP I lost 10lb before Xmas using MFP and doing nothing other sticking to my very generous 1700 calorie limit. Did do a bit of exercise here and there but in a very haphazard way! My MFP name is happylass14 if you fancy joining me. I've been rubbish at logging since I stopped over Xmas but need to get back in to it in preparation for my bridal duties!

Barking. I needed a mum to sign a form and so I held her baby while she did so.

RP. My OTD isn't until Monday. I think I might have even stopped bleeding by then. They won't do the next appointment until I've called in with the bfn.

feather happy birthday? Was it your birthday?

pip Why?! Whose was the baby? Having said that, babies don't upset me as much as bumps. I held both twin babies and only burst into tears when my would-be-matching bump arrived.

I had a proper temp rise this morning . First clear ovulation since July!!!!
Take a look here

Feather are you also trying to lose weight? Oh yes, all your amazing spin classes!!

I also need to lose. I seem to have somehow found an additional dress size how is your diet? Have you tried MyFitnessPal?

Pip when will you next see the clinic?

Gosh pip, you are, as sid said, a warrior woman. I hope you're feeling as ok as you can be and that you and your oh are holding up.

gil and sid wowee, that's come round quick. Everything crossed for you both, as ever!

lady well done on getting your bmi down. Would live to know what you did as I'm in that process tat the moment.

On my way to my birthday thingy and haven't read through too far back. Just wanted to check in and will catch up tomorrow.

Oh, and another friend has just announced she's 16 weeks. Our due dates would have been weeks apart. And my SIL had the baby! I'm excited about that as the poor thing has been in hospital for six weeks and can finally get out in a couple of days.

Still no sign of af.

I couldn't have done that Pip, well done.

Bloody hell Pip you are brave, I'm surprised you're even out of bed. Have been thinking of you and OH today, hope the clinic can give you some answers and solid next steps and plans to make another cycle work.

pip hats off to you; you're a warrior. And here I am weepy because I have a headache and have just vomited. Will try v hard to buck up.

By the way my own mother made some extremely ill-chosen remarks yesterday, fully aware of what today would be like for me. She has since apologised, but still upsetting nonetheless. what is it with mothers sometimes???

I win the prize for being the bravest Berry today.
Given that it was only yesterday that the IVF failed, today I managed to hold a 4 month old without crying!

Barking you are being rather strict there. But our entry criteria are there for all to see.

Blue. No, my mum is just evil. It's a wonder I'm anything near normal.

Hi all. I've been a bad berry and not posted for ages - sorry- not much to say apart from whining about my lack of progress & af pain (boring/ same old) but have tried to check in and see what's going on.

pip I'm just so so sorry - do hope you're being well looked after.

Gill and sid & any others progressing with treatment - v exciting and do hope all goes well.

Barking I saw your post about the leaving do & totally empathise- its a horrible feeling when you can't hold it in any longer - but I hope it's helped in some way. I think I'm holding it all in for when I see the the FC who still hasn't followed up after my lap and af is still v v painful. Lucky FC.

Wow lady that's fab going with your bmi- inspiring stuff.

Pip I'm so sorry Hope you are holding up ok. Did you get a 'scratch' or what ever it is before your ET? Maybe your mum was having a bad day or thought that by being blasé about it would make you feel better??? Otherwise

Lady that is impressive how well you have done to get your BMI down. Good to hear you have a nice consultant, BFP around the corner for you, too, FX!

Barking sorry to hear about your hard time at the leaving do - you really are a trooper for trying, though

Gill, Sid - full steam ahead!! Good luck!!

Great news Sid and Gil. Delighted that your IVF journeys have started.

Gillster result! Happy for you that things are moving ahead. And a teeeeeeeeeny bit envious that you're skipping straight on to stabbing....I started downregging this morning. who'd have thought a fertility drug might not taste so nice once it starts running down the back of your throat?

Go Gillster !!

naty, I think you've mislaid your spectacles love and stumbled into the wrong room, this is berry hq and we're all fighting for baby #1 in here, says so ont' poster above the door .

Exciting gill. Hopefully you will now only be weeks away from your bfp

AF has arrived! Spoke to FC and we're booked in for bloods and day 3 dildocam on Sunday morning. If all OK then stabbing will start soon after. Exciting and scary at the same time.

Pip really sorry this has happened, and that you got a hateful nurse on the line when you called the FC (can't remember if I read that here or on the EB thread). Please take care of yourself today x

I'm so sorry pip. Thinking of you and your oh xxx

Barking I have everything crossed for you as your chart is v hopeful

Pip I'm so sorry x
