Evening All,

Sorry to hear that music and far are still having a tough time. I hope you're having lots of support in real life. And don't worry about brooking. We will do all that for you.

no news here. Just cd 5. wishing everyone a relaxing evening :)

Patiencedeficit · 19/09/2011 20:30

Thought I'd stop lurking for a minute to say hello rat smackers!

I'll say this very quietly as I don't want to jinx it but I got a BFP!! Shhh. Fingers crossed it stays put. Reading all the positive vibes must have helped... This is after 1 year, 4 months trying (and one mc)...

BartletForAmerica · 19/09/2011 20:32

Patience, we've not met. I am new around here, so it might be that you been here longer for me but not been posting recently. Whatever the case is, let me be the first to say...

Congratulations! Grin

duke748 · 19/09/2011 21:22

Congratulations Patience! Fingers crossed for you!

How many days past ovulation are you? I got my BFP today at 13 DPO after testing every day since 9 DPO! Did you do anything different this month?

Cake - 11 DPO is still early - mine took until 13DPO to show a very light line. Keep brooking woman!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/09/2011 22:55

Just popping my head round the door very briefly to say a huge congratulations to Duke and Patience! Excellent rat smacking ladies! I hope to see you both in the vomitorium shortly.

Also Farfalla don't give up hope! We are all still No Brooking at max power on your behalf! It's also really positive that you've got an appointment to investigate any issues further, a wise rat smacker always has a back up plan!

To everyone else either testing already or in the 2ww - good luck! This thread is phenomenal, and Duke & Patience need some company!

I'm up and ready brooking left right and centre for y'all, but especially Farfalla. and Cake too.

Sneaking a bit of mn in before my guests get up but even if I'm not on I'll be brooking in no small measures!

Thinking if you all xx

Biscuitsandtea · 20/09/2011 07:03

of not if....

duke748 · 20/09/2011 07:42

Clearblue digital says 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' this morning. Grin Bit of brown cm, I'm hoping it's just little one burrowing deeper and getting comfy for the long haul!

Fingers crossed for all those having a hard time and also those peeing on sticks.

Biscuitsandtea · 20/09/2011 07:45

Great news Duke - really pleased for you!

Biscuitsandtea · 20/09/2011 07:51

Just reading back through and catching up, Farfalla you said you might go to Epu yesterday pm - did you go? I think you're right to go today if you haven't already been.

Apologies if I missed the bit where you gave a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why you didn't go yesterday!

farfallarocks · 20/09/2011 08:45

Hi biscuits I did not go in the end as now getting BFNs so I can't see the point as the first thing they would do is take a pregnancy test.

Still getting a very faint positive on first response but its the most sensitive so that makes sense.
Just waiting for the bleeding to start now, bizarrely I now have no spotting or cramping at all. The whole thing is just one big head fuck clearly!

DH being lovely but admitted he finds it really traumatic to see me so upset.
Have a phone appointment with the GP this morning and will see what she suggests. For the first time in months I just want AF to hurry up and come!

music keeping all crossed for you!

Congrats to duke and to patience

NinjaChipmunk · 20/09/2011 09:00

oh lovely farfalla that's so pants. I am so sorry for you. I definitely think you need to get the ball rolling to find out why. My thoughts are with you.

Congratulations to duke and patience excellent work ladies.

Well I'm having my tea and toast before attempting to insert a pessary and start my anti b's before my fanny cam and hsg later today. I hope it all goes ok.

How is everyone else?

NinjaChipmunk · 20/09/2011 09:00

musical how are things today?

Biscuitsandtea · 20/09/2011 09:02

Poor you Farfalla - the epu might be able to do the HSG blood test thing to get an answer? Xx

Good luck today Ninja xx

farfallarocks · 20/09/2011 09:15

Ooooh ninja, best of luck with the fanny cam, I can see why you would need to attempt that on a full stomach!

biscuits if no resolution by Friday I will definitely pop down there, I just don;t want to waste their time as they will be dealing with people miscarrying 'for real' if you see what I mean and they are badly underresourced.

Can we send a search party out for imps??

PopcornMouse · 20/09/2011 09:35

Well done for following it up far, you are so brooking no argument . I'm keeping my eyes crossed for your appointment on Thursday, do let us know how it goes and what they say

Congratulations patience! That's quite a wait, I'm really pleased for you! Do you think there was something special that made the difference this cycle, or just your perseverance paying off? :)

BFN here today, cake, and I'm at 12DPO I might have had a wee sob afterwards; silly popcorn testing before AF is due
My only hope is that my temperatures are still much higher than they were last month at this point (though I only started temping at the end so not much to go on lol) and everything tastes weird this morning I can't drink my posh nespresso-machine coffee, heartbroken. That, and I nearly passed out in GAME on Sunday - but that's pretty normal for me on the run up to AF tbh.

How are things in camp cake?

PopcornMouse · 20/09/2011 09:36

Gosh, Ninja, good luck!!! Confused

musicalmrs · 20/09/2011 11:32

Congratulations duke and patience.

Hope you're doing ok Farfalla. Thinking of you.

Ninja - Fanny cam sounds scary! Good luck!

Still bleeding a little today. Scan showed sac and yolk, but nothing else. Another scan in two weeks to check for viability. Bloods taken, should have the results by the end of the day, so waiting to see if hCG levels are still rising. The gynae seemed positive though...

Wait and see time!

maybebabyR · 20/09/2011 11:41

Good luck today Ninja, hope you are going to waited on hand and foot tonight.

Congratulations Duke, just goes to show how sneaky a BFP can be, thinking you have AF instead Smile

Musical I am really feeling positive for you. I hope the day goes quickly and those results come back ASAP so you can have a nice chilled out evening.

Sorry for your BFN Popcorn still too early though my dear, it will be turning positive soon though.

Farfalla I am so sorry. What time is your phone appointment? Hope you are being looked after x

CakePigeon · 20/09/2011 12:27

good luck today ninja I hope it is all good news.

oh good musical it sounds like good news, is it? I'm not sure what exactly should be present on the scan at this point but something is certainly better than nothing I imagine so it sounds positive!

oh popcorn high temps is a really good sign. Ignore the BFN it is too early.

no news in the cake camp. bored bored bored at work without my phone to play with Blush no symptoms to report either, how dull :o

maybebabyR · 20/09/2011 13:18

Cake surely no symptoms are indeed a symptom? Smile

This really will be my last post ladies. DH has told me today that we can't try anymore. I thought that may have been coming, and now it's here. I am wishing you all the best for the future, and may lurk from time to time to see how you are getting on.

Musical, Farfalla and Ninja I really hope things work out for you both today Smile

Hopefully see you all soon. Maybe over and out.

musicalmrs · 20/09/2011 13:28

Maybe, I'm so sorry to hear you're leaving us :( We'll miss you - I hope you'll pop back from time to time.

Cake - No symptoms could still be a good sign ;) I think the scan's a good sign - the fact that we now know it's definitely not ectopic is definitely good! The amount of bleeding still worries me though, so I won't chill out until I hear the hcg is still going up ;)

thelittlefriend · 20/09/2011 13:30

Oh Maybe, well I'm sure you have not come to that decision lightly, so best of luck in everything.

Duke well done for getting CBD to agree you are pregnant, like we all knew!

Musical I'm brooking no argument that everything will be fine for you.

And far don't ever think you're wasting someones time when it comes to your health. You sound like you're staying really strong, well done & lots of love to you.

GenericDietCola · 20/09/2011 13:53

Congratulations Patience and Duke!

Farfalla hope you're OK - sounds like you are being very strong. I agree you should go to EPU if you are at all worried - they are there to help people in your situation.

Popcorn I'm sure it's just too early for you. You'll get your BFP in a day or two.

Ninja hope you get on OK today - take care. Looking forward to your magical post-HSG BFP next month!

Musical good news that the scan showed the bean in the right place - hope you get good news from the blood tests and a nice viability scan in a couple of weeks.

Maybe so sorry to hear you are going. You have to do what's best for you and DH and I hope you get your little one when the time is right.
