The rat smacketeers are brooking no argument!! All for one BFP and one BFP for all!

[Imps7]

Smacket on, ladies...

Damn it, I'm going to be rude too and ask for the other pack biscuits. Thanks - love you

smegs I'm so sorry to hear about your results. I hope the fertility nurse can give you some positive stats & lots of help. It's not over for you my love xx

I've off out for dinner tonight with a friend. Doesn't happen too often, so I'm really looking forward to it. In fact, had better dash. Laters Brookers

Cool bananas - its yours Little - just pm me your address

Might be Monday before I can shuffle to the PO though

Aw Smegs consider yourself hugged by me too and I am excellent hugger. Sounds like very tough news to take. I agree with the other smacketeers that this isn't the end of your journey as you may get there naturally and of course you could explore the IVF route. I hope you're feeling OK tonight chuck.

Biscuits! How lovely to see you! I lurked on the PSEPP thread a day or two ago and it was lovely to hear the chit chat about all the new brooking babies! So happy for you and I think of you often. I remember your BFP so clearly!

Have a nice evening Little - any symptoms yet?

Maybe your cupcake course sounds both delicious and fun! I am making a tea loaf tonight to cheer up DH who is a bit down at the moment.

Friday tomorrow ladies - hurrah!

Smegs - I'm sorry, you must feel low if the nurse said that, but do keep trying. I've read here about ladies with low AMH who have still fallen naturally. And bear in min that fertility nurses do say things like that.

Congrats Biscuits - how is it with two?!

Carrot cakes for microwaves don't work in ovens. And couldn't read neighbours writing so too much bicarb. Oh dear. Usually make quite a wicked cake.

Peckers up Brookers. As Generic says - thank crunchie it's Friday.

Biscuits so lovely to see you. How is little Ethan? How is DS1 taking to him?

That's a shame about the carrot cake Bean but it's all in the name of science.

How did your tea loaf come out Generic? I haven't baked for ages. I must be ill

Of course I will post photos Pop, you know me

Smegs lovely, how are you feeling today? id you get a chance to have a proper chat with DH about it all last night? I hope you manage to have a better chat with the nurse today.

I feel really strange brookers. I tossed and turned all night, and am still not asleep! I gave up and have moved to the sofa with tea and a puppy. I feel really stressed and I am not sure what exactly triggered it. I am also fed up with this cycle now. 2 days late and wondering when it will end. Sorry for the me me me post again, probably just over tired.

Sparks I really don't think so, ff says I haven't ovulated

Morning brookers

Thank you all for asking after us. All going ok I think in the biscuit household. Ds1 seems good with ds2 (so far at least) and some sleep is being had (well by ds1 and DH at least, not so much me )

So, Maybe, the cycle I got my BFP, my chart looked really odd and the monitor thing I had (the Duofertility thing, which did basically the same job as FF) couldn't decide if I'd ovulated or not. It said I had ovulated at one time then said I hadn't, then said I'd ovulated later, then they couldn't work it out and then they said maybe it was anovulatory. Well that 'non-ovulation' is squeaking away in the crib next to me . I take it you've been smacking the rat anyway?

Biscuits it feels as though I have been smacking the rat forever Every other day

Interesting Biscuits But I have no symptoms whatsoever, despite feeling sicky, which is probably just the antibiotics. I have had an anovulatory cycle once, but It wasn't long, I just started spotting around day 20 which continued for 10 days, then I had a normal cycle. Very bizarre.

this is my messy chart

Oh goodness you totally get the Bartlet award, and thus the guaranteed BFP that goes with it!

I suppose the being ill could have delayed ov?

Is it not worth a confirmatory PIAR though? if for no other reason than a BFP would mean you could stop the rat smacking do you have any ICs?

Haha, I like your thinking Biscuits I do have a whole bag of IC, I am amazed that I have had such self restraint these last few cycles - they are all still there!

I thought that about delayed ov too, just never known it to be delayed so long. Think I may have broken myself this month

Smegs, so sorry to hear about your results, what a horrible shock that must have been. Like the other rat smackers have said please don't think this rules out a natural pregnancy because it really only does take one good one. However when you are feeling a bit stronger then you can start looking into IVF so you're armed with information ready for your appointment in April.

Generic BFP on a number plate you say? And I saw 2 magpies yesterday, how much luckier could we get?! BFP's all round for the brookers!

Maybe PIAR already! You know how we love an ironic BFP!

Day out sounds lovely Bean, pity the carrot cake didn't work but as Maybe says it was all in the name of science

Day 4 of the steroids here, have been having REALLY vivid dreams, one of them was naughty but nice if you know what I mean but otherwise no other side effects thus far so am keeping fingers crossed! Have got to do lots of boring household chores today as I'm back to work tomorrow then I'm cooking for all the family on Sunday What's everyone else up to at the weekend?

I had no symptoms when I got my BFP, maybe! POAS! POAS! :o

Oh olives that sounds like a lovely dream! I dreamed I was heavily pg and DH went to the pub (we don't drink pints of milk :o ) and never came back!

My parents are back from living abroad (for a week) - first time I've seen them in a year, so we're going to my sister's for mother's day roast, and one of my brother's is coming too which will be lovely :)

Ah, sounds like you have a lovely weekend planned Pop

Olives that does sound like a good dream Sounds like you have a good Sunday planned.

I think my body is just playing silly buggers, going to have to ride this one out me thinks though I can always secretly hope for an ironic BFP

You know you want to..!

Insanely jealous of your cupcake decorating course too! I try my best, but my piping skills leave a lot to be desired. More practice required, clearly..

Last time I tried piping, my bag exploded and I got covered in icing

Pop

Musical how are you? How's the house? DH thinks I am good at piping, but I am too much of a perfectionist, so I think I am crap

I upgraded from a bag to an icing syringe - purely because every time I tried to pipe with the bag I ended up with icing all over my hands, and the bag got greasy and hard to manage. I am well aware that many people are wonderful with icing bags... I'm just clearly not compatible! The icing syringe is much much better, but there's still room for improvement.

Having seen your cake creations Maybe, I imagine your piping is stunning, and will be even more so after the course!

I'm good thanks Maybe! Counting down the days until maternity leave... 10! And only 6 of teaching!. House is slowly getting there, we've had the contract through to sign, but I think it's all being held up by other people in the chain. Wish they'd give us an estimated date of completion so we'd have a date to dream about, rather than being clueless like now!

maybe no symptoms=preggo
FACT

I can't stop eating, I have had 3 breakfasts already

Had a breakfast meeting with my boss this morning and at the end she said, 'I noticed you were not drinking coffee, good news I hope?'
I said I had given it up for lent and she just winked at me.
Busted I think!!!
Never mind, I like her and she is very nice.

I am meant to be having a boozy lunch with my mum on Mother's Day, I might say I am hungover but that feels a bit rude so I might just tell her if I am brave enough, not sure really.

olives I hope the steroids are not affecting you too badly

Who is next to test then

PIAR PIAR PIAR!!! come on Maybe you know you want to.

Yeah Maybe get peeing! The tea loaf is very nice by the way.

Far you must keep eating and feeding Farfette! Don't tell your mum if you're not ready, but then I'm sure she will understand either way.

Pop have fun with your exotic parents!

Olives I saw 3 magpies this morning - how many more signs do we need?

I've been out walking my pup. On our way we saw 2 magpies, then we saw 3. I translated this as a BFP and a girl bean. Hurrah it's official!
