FAR! Well done! I have just been in a meeting and all I could think was that I needed to get on MN and check how farfette was doing! Enjoy your night out and your lovely little secret!

Right, we need to brook for each and every rat smacker now to get our BFPs and sticky beans!

ScrambledSmegs · 14/03/2012 18:39

YAY!!!! far brilliant news! Grin Grin Grin Hope you have a fantastic night too!

*metaphorically. Getting on a bit, y'know...

whimsicalname · 14/03/2012 19:03

Lovely news far. How exciting. Hope you saved a screenshot for your Facebook page.

bean a friend served me carrot and cardamon soup last week. A covent garden recipe I believe. Really lovely, and just a bit different to the usual coriander.

Who was it that said I was chancing it with blue cheese? It hadn't even occurred to me! I've always carried on with blue cheese. And anyway, it's cooked. I'm a rebel me.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/03/2012 19:27

Oh Far this is amazing news, amazing I tell you! I hope that your dinner out isn't too painful Smile

Bean you are going to get a playmate for DS. Honest. Chin up lovely. You are surrounding yourself with carrots, which must be some sort of sign, no? Smile

Whim you are living life on the edge Wink

Imps I spared the puppy. Then he rolled in manure. Bleurgh.

I have to share something that has made me Angry Someone a twat at DH's work last night was completely out of order. A few of the guys know we are trying, and they were having a chat about it last night, when this other guy bowls in and says 'you had better get yourself checked out mate, isn't normal to be trying so long, must be a problem' Shock in front of everyone! It really upset DH. Some people eh. Though, not only was DH's bum on telly, his face made it this week!! I am officially a celebrity wife Grin

Pop I love how kerenel is a kumquat Grin What will they be next week?

TheLittleFriend · 14/03/2012 19:41

far that is the greatest news!! I'm so so happy for you xxx

Sorry to not post more - I've got a headache & my dinner is ready so I'm going to chill for the rest of the evening. I've read all your posts though, so I'm up to date with the fastest moving thread on MN! Much love to all the Brookers x

Imps7 · 14/03/2012 20:15

Maybe, I have carried out a detailed psychological, sociological and physiological analysis* of the man in the story that you have shared with us. I can now reveal the results of that analysis:

That man is a moron. He needs punching in the face.

Where has your DH been putting his face this week?? Exciting stuff!

Bean, my lovely. Have a wallow, my love. Go on - don't fight it. You will get there. We will all of us get there.

*not sure if this makes any sense

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/03/2012 20:45

Imps would you like to do my PhD instead of me? This is an amazing analysis, with which I concur Grin He has been plastering his face (and bum) on The Tube.

Little hope you feel better after your dinner. A nice hot bath is in order me thinks.

Puppy just had a huge sneezing fit. Hilarious. I promised DH I would wait for him to watch OBEM, but I still have masterchef, so all is well Smile

CupcakesAndCocktails · 14/03/2012 23:34

Really quick message as I've just got in from work.

Far amazing news, am so happy to hear the good scan news. Will still be brooking like mad for little Farfette

Night night brookers

BeedleTheBard · 15/03/2012 05:35

far that's excellent news, congratulations Grin

(I won't do any backflips as I'm eating my breakfast Grin )

bean chin up, and to quote something I read on mumsnet a while ago (don't remem;ber if it was this thread or not) it will be alright in the end, if its not alright its not the end :)

So I read the letter from the fertility clinic last night, what it actaully says is DP has to do his sample and then they'll book us an appointment - which is not quite what he said when he read the letter out to me. Hopefully we'll agree that he'll do it next month, giving his new healthy living a chance to improve the spermies (I'm not going to mention the 3 months to make new sperm as I'm sure he doesn't know an dI don't want to give him an excuse to delay it further.

Then I was flicking through the booklet that came with it, its just general stuff about fertility treatment, and I came to a list of public (as opposed to private) IVF clinics. I was a bit shocked that there's only 6 in the entire country, so I said so to DP and he didn't say anything, so I said I was sure we wouldn't get as far as needing IVF. And he said I don't know what IVF is ShockShock (its the same letters in swedish, its not called XYX here). When I said test-tube babies he knew what I meant, but still Shock

That was a bit of an essay Blush

sparkle

  1. No, keep rat smacking
  2. No idea :)
  3. Is your pee really pale even first thing in the morning? It should be more concentrated then, unless you drink and wee loads during the night.
  4. Yes GrinGrin
GreenOlives · 15/03/2012 08:26

Morning rat smackers!

Just caught up with yesterday's news - fanbloodytastic Far, I'm over the moon for you, and a little flicker too - perfect! Grin Grin

No time for more posting as I need to rush off to work again, just have to say that Imps you really make me laugh out loud Grin Grin

Catch up properly tomorrow on my day off, TTFN

PopcornMouseInBoots · 15/03/2012 09:21

Yay far! :o :o :o Did you have a nice night out, too?

Shock maybe what an almighty t*at Shock Shock

and Shock beedle too! Is IVF less common there, or does he not even have that excuse? :o

far is the resident expert sparkle - hopefully she'll know :)

'zzzxca (that's a contribution from my cat, it probably translates as ?feed me? ?hi? :) )

farfallarocks · 15/03/2012 10:21

Morning rat smacketeers, and thank you for all your lovely messages, we are on cloud 9 although certainly not counting our chickens.

Managed to dodge the drinking easily as it was at someone' s house, I declined the cocktails at the beginning saying I don't like tequilla and then it was a help yourself to a beer in the kitchen when you need one, type scenario so very easy not to. I just had a beer on the table in front of me, I don;t htink anyone noticed!

Generic you are right, it is a delicious secret and we are not telling anyone, not even family for now. I must say after all the grimness we went through, DH is being the most supportive, wonderful DH.

I am Brooking No Argument for your positive pee sticks in no time at all.
Next scan in 3 weeks time

sparkle are you using 1st morning urine? Mine is pretty pale but I always managed to get the readings ok. Too much pee I believe can overwhelm it so just hold it in for 5-10 secs, that should be enough.
If it is your first or second month using it it is more than likely that it won;t detect your peak or will only give you 1 day of high before going to peak. It takes a while. I think you only need to begin to question it after 3/4 months of no peak detection.

maybe what an absolute twunt that man is, seriously!! I am totally intrigued, what on earth does your DH do? Hope you are feeling better?

bean I am sorry you are feeling low, its so grim, we have all been there, but you get there, everyone will, no one will be left behind.

beedle how funny? Glad you have educated him now though :)

Ahh that's lovely far!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/03/2012 11:38

Clever dodging tactics Far You deserve to be on cloud 9, I am so pleased MrFar is a star Smile

Sparks I have no idea about CBFMs. Have you had any other signs for ov, cramps, EWCM?

Beedle I too a, Shock at the number of fertility clinics over there. But you definitely will not be needing them, no way Jose.

Far I am loving the word twunt. I am going to use that in a sentence today, I really am Grin Apparently DH and his work friends spent the night playing tricks on him at work. I am married to an adult, I promise. DH is an engineer on the Victoria line, and he is very much enjoying his 6 seconds of fame Grin My Mum called him up and asked for his autograph Wink

PopcornMouseInBoots · 15/03/2012 11:42

Ohhh maybe that's so cool! I luff watching The Tube, all the train drivers are like kids with toy trains, it's really sweet - and it's lovely how dedicated and loyal all the staff seem :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/03/2012 11:54

They really are aren't they Grin Though I think in the grand scheme of the underground, the engineers think the drivers are losers, and think of themselves of the cool kids of the playground, cos, you know, they have shiny tools and stuff Wink

ScrambledSmegs · 15/03/2012 12:43

Got my AMH results. I am at the low end of low fertility. Understatement to say I'm upset.

Don't really know what to do. I haven't even had my HSG yet but feel like it's pointless now. I'm only fricking 35 :(

NoMaybeAboutIt · 15/03/2012 12:47

Oh Smegs I am so so sorry. Have you been to see the doctor, or did they give you your results over the phone? I am sure all is not lost x

ScrambledSmegs · 15/03/2012 12:51

Post. I'm going to call the fertility nurse later, but don't trust myself not to cry.
