Here, we go, nice new thread.
Might be helpful to have some stats so we know where we all are?

I will start, farfallarocks - TTC#2, cycle 11. 1st brooking baby DD, 21 months. Investigations reveal high FSH and potentially starting IVF.

Fab scan news both of you. I went in for my scan at 12 weeks and came out 13 and am still being sick at 27 weeks

jaggythistle · 09/12/2014 16:55

Yay cups! ! ! :)

I'm apparently now 13 weeks instead of 12. According to scan measurements. However after one arrival a week + late and one a week early, pretty sure it won't matter much. :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/12/2014 16:52

Best news ever, my lovely Cups x

Munxx · 09/12/2014 13:38

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!

All Brooking babies are extremely special, as we all know, but your news Cups surely is the best news for a long time. You've had a ruddy rough time up to now, and I'm not going to be a plonker and say "relax" because as we all know, there's no such thing when it's been a difficult process. But I hope you can enjoy a brief respite from swirling thoughts today.

you know what I mean.

And Jaggy you KNOW I am as thrilled as thrilled can be for your little one too of course! ;)

keepitgoing · 09/12/2014 12:38

Grin Grin Grin cups that's brilliant! will you be telling people?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/12/2014 12:03

Massive congratulations Jaggy, that's great news! How far along are you then?

Just got back from my scan, all is well. I'm so relieved. Thanks for all the brooking. Sorry I've got to run as I need to show my face at work at some point today! Will read back later x

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/12/2014 10:11

Woohoo! Great news Jags!!

Thinking of you today Cups x

cartoontrickster · 09/12/2014 08:44

thinking of u cups good luck!

keepitgoing · 09/12/2014 08:35

congratulations jags

cups lovely I'm brooking like mad for you. what time is it? xx

jaggythistle · 09/12/2014 05:28

I do feel a lot better though and not just like tired vomiting woman. We told the DC and they are quite excited. :)

jaggythistle · 09/12/2014 05:26

Only a couple really. I don't feel quite so much like telling everyone this time.

I think I'm expecting a few "another one Shock " comments, so am a bit shy. Blush

Silly I know.

Imps9 · 08/12/2014 21:53

Get in Jags! Congratulations Xmas Smile. Bet you've had loads of fun telling everyone today!

jaggythistle · 08/12/2014 16:17

Thanks guys, scan says all OK. :)

The brooking must be strong though, as I am suddenly a week more pregnant than I thought. ShockConfused

All the best for tomorrow Cups!

Munxx · 08/12/2014 13:59

Jaggy apologies, much Brooking coming your way too! Hope it has gone well today! Or is going to depending on scan time.

Munxx · 08/12/2014 13:58

I'm so sorry Far

Cups Brooking hard for you tomorrow, I have another chum with a scan this week too.

Regarding Sleeping I had a dream genii which I loved, but my discomfort was always my back. My friends with pain or discomfort in their pelvis said they didn't like it.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/12/2014 12:36

Good luck for today Jaggy!!!

Brooking for tomorrow Cups!! I was also a tummy sleeper. Don't worry about sleeping on your front. Your body will let you know when to change position. I had a theraline body pillow, which I loved at first. Then I got so bloody annoyed with it!! I think the dream genii would be better as it's a pillow material, rather than one that moulds to you like I had. Was constantly trying to un-mould it in the middle of the night Grin

Imps, that made me chuckle Grin

Imps9 · 08/12/2014 08:54

Ooooooooooh best of luck with the scan Jaggster - I didn't realise that is was today. Oooh a good scan for you today and a good one for Cups would be fantastic Christmas presents for us Brookers.

I'm not very awake this morning - just walked back to my car after getting a pay and display ticket and I thought to myself "wow, our car is actually quite blue in the sunlight". Tried to get in it and - yep - not my car. My black car was in the parking space next to it. Baby brain eh?

jaggythistle · 07/12/2014 19:14

Got butterflies in tummy for scan tomorrow. Blush

Brooking for a good week for scans and BFPs in the very near future!

jaggythistle · 05/12/2014 17:05

Yeah Imps still a bit rubish, I just had to try and throw up quietly at work actually. (I failed) But that will all magically get better at 12 weeks next week...right?

Also a bit Christmas worried. Feeling distinctly unorganised. Also the house is a mess as we are getting work done on it right now, we never seem to have time to tidy it.

Imps9 · 05/12/2014 13:41

Far how sad about your fellow cyclers - I really hope they all do get the chance to try again. Can you try again as soon as AF turns up or do they recommend a gap between cycles? Next time is your turn and hurrah for being able to enjoy a gin-infused Christmas. Hope Mr Far is okay.

I'd forgotten what the J stood for JaggyIwasIam. How are you feeling now? Still rubbish?

Cups I'm not surprised you're bricking it - when I get to that stage I will be too. I can't wait to hear that all is well for you.

Is anyone else feeling panicked about Chrismas? I need to snap out of it and try to feel festive but at the mo I just feel weighed down by all the jobs I have to do beforehand. Rubbish.

jaggythistle · 05/12/2014 12:49

Maybe I should just be me instead of causing confusion...

Is that better? :)

keepitgoing · 05/12/2014 11:27

£2000 still much less than a fresh cycle though !

cups I had lots of pain from 25 weeks ish. never bothered with a special pillow just lots of normal ones around behind under bump. enjoy sleeping on your back/tummy while you can though! brooking for Tuesday. the odds after 10 weeks are vv good Smile

farfallarocks · 05/12/2014 11:27

Hi solars, yes they have called and confirmed the negative today. Not a surprise, all the girls I cycled with (5) also got a negative, gutted for them as most have no kids and this was their last shot. So today I am counting my blessings for littlefar big time!

cups I had the dreamgeni but did not get on with it at all, I just used a normal pillow under the bump. However I gave it my friends and she raves about it and now uses it as a feeding cushion for her twins!

Hope you all have good weekends brookers and thank you for all your support. I am brooking no argument we will all get our BFPs soon!

Solars · 05/12/2014 11:00

Far I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you in today for your blood test too at ARGC?

Iam I'm not sure I know you Confused congratulations and good luck with the scan on Monday.

Cups I used the dreamgenii just made sleeping a bit more comfortable but I was lucky I didn't suffer any pains so not sure how it works with relieving that. So good to see you here and looking forward to hearing about your scan news next week!

Wow Keep £2000!! Let's hope you and Trix find jobs soon.

Big wave to Munx and Maybe

Imps Brooking that time goes quickly for your next appointment! The waiting for ivf/ icsi to start is frustrating but it'll go by quickly once you get going as will pregnancy and that first year of the baby's!!!

cartoontrickster · 04/12/2014 20:36

cups see the doc if that pelvic girdle pain gets bad. mine was terrible and I still get pains. I've had a physio session and will have another in Jan. mainly to sort my pelvic floor Blush , but she said I should have been coming while I was pregnant. she's given me a stretch to do to relieve the ache I get under my right bum cheek. she knew as soon as I told her about that ache that I had a suffered with pelvic girdle. look forward to your scan news soon!
keep I think part time work would be ideal. still can't imagine leaving N though. I think I'm the clingy one I don't spend much time away from him.
