oh scarlett that is such good news! Why did the previous consultant give you such a low chance, was it because you have just one tube?

ScarlettInSpace · 10/07/2012 17:16

He was of the opinion my eggs were shit, and today she explained what factors he'd based that opinion on but also discredited the source, she said it was only looking at one or two factors not the whole picture.

Imps7 · 10/07/2012 17:27

Hooray Scarlett that's great!

TheLittleFriend · 10/07/2012 19:05

Hi all

Good news, I've seen my little bean with a flickering heartbeat, measuring exactly as it should be, 7wks 1day. We are very very very happy!

scarlet & keep I'm really pleased to hear you both had such positive appointments today Smile

keepitgoing · 10/07/2012 19:38

Congratulations little amazing news. So happy for you.

For anyone who's had an hsg, would I be ok to go in on my own, or will I need dh with me? Our appt it at 11ish, in a diff hospital to the one he works in, so he'd need to take the morning off and I don't want him to have to unless totally necessary

Loopyhasanotherbean · 10/07/2012 19:47

yay to keep, scarlett and little, good news all round today! looking forward to seeing another batch of BFP's on here very soon!

Princesslovelyboo · 10/07/2012 21:12

Evening brookers

What fantastic news you have had, agreeable Doctors is brilliant news!!

I have been a busy brooker, my teenager fell off his trampoline yesterday and broke his bum (hurt his coxic (sp?) but it sounds better to keep telling him he broke his bum) We spent most of last night in Minor Injuries and all of today gingerly getting off and on the sofa. poor lad, and he is of course of an age when he does not want me to have a look at him to see of the bruising is coming out Blush

SecretSparkle · 10/07/2012 23:30

Some really great news coming through today GrinGrin yay for all our positive brookers!!

boo not really sure who is next to confirm, ive totes lost track!! Assuming my temps are rubbish and my CBFM is accurate im 3DPO so just in the 2ww.... Boring.... But heroically keeping up with dtd!! Checking back the latest we've ever dtd is on my second peak, so surely we're in for a better luck this month?!

I really should be trying to sleep, hubby has just told me off for staying up late!! Seriously am I 5?!!!!

Imps7 · 11/07/2012 07:46

Morning all! Sparks we're DPO buddies - I'm 3 DPO too (my favourite DPO - sounds like a Star Wars character. Maybe we would write a Rat Wars film and one of the heros can be a big stick called 3-DPO).

Solars how are you doing this morning? I read yesterday that 30,000 women over 40 gave birth last year - 20,000 more than 20 (I think) years ago. You will be part of that statistic next year and that is that. Remind me what your and DH's test results said?

Another grey day - it's playing havoc with my veg patch. Nothing's growing as it should be - I've had to start from scratch with my turnips andy broad bean plants have produced next to nothing. Aha the perils of the gardener.

Imps7 · 11/07/2012 07:53

Oh, Boo - tell your son that I'm sorry about his bum. Am sure he'll appreciate that Grin

Imps7 · 11/07/2012 08:01

I've just read back and noted that I haven't said "hurrah" to Little - I saw your post last night and thought hurrah but clearly didn't get around to posting it. Really excited for you! Tripe Whammy Friday still rules the most! Oooh I have an idea - there are 3 Tripe Whammy Friday brookers and 3 words in Tripe Whammy Friday - each of use can use one of the words for your baby's name! First come, first choose...

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 09:02

Imps that would be amazeballs, except according to FF I'm now 6DPO Hmm gut instinct says thats just daft, although if I look at my chart side ways and squint the recent drop in temp could be stupidly early implantation!!! So nice to have a 2WW buddy though, and I certainly look forward to filming Rat Wars - Attack of the postive p-sticks!! Can I be princess laya (sp?) as I wouldn't mind getting funky with Harrison Ford :o

Oh and isn't Friday an actual name?

I've just been insulted by the canteen staff, I went in to order some brekkie, slimming world friendly, bacon, beans and tomato. They kept offering toast and sausage but I didnt want any!! Then just as I was paying up the woman at the till went to the other woman, "Some women on diets think carbs are really bad for you, funny it's never the skinny ones that think that" Shock I'm thinking a strongly worded email to the manager might be in order, Im not exactly massive!!!

GenericDietCola · 11/07/2012 09:15

Oh yay for all the good news yesterday Keep, Scarlett and Little! Sorry I couldn't get online yesterday, but I have been thinking of you all.

Solars I'm glad you are staying positive and are thinking about other things like egg donation. Re the change to the guidelines, the revised NICE guidance is due out in October, so I would suggest writing a letter of complaint now and referencing that news article. And of course you're still only 39 at the moment, so I think it's wrong that you are being denied treatment in any case. Especially given the delays.

Sparks you are slim and gorgeous and that woman is a moron!

Imps it's lovely to see you around so much! And I love your Rat Wars idea.

Boo poor poorly bum - hope he gets better soon!

I'm telling work today - wish me luck! Although my colleague guessed yesterday and apparently 'everyone already knows'. Oh well!

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 09:36

good luck Gen

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2012 09:58

Good luck Gen how exciting Smile

Boo his poor bum. Though i did Grin just a little bit.

Solars I am Shock that they said that. Complain! I would. And you are so far from huge, it's a joke.

Imps I too love your film idea. Can I be chew-smacker?

Little that is amazing news, I am so pleased for you lovely.

I think I may have ov'd! Huzzah! Well, I have a temp spike, crazy pant snot and was like a dog on heat. Much more than normal, and it would be day 18, which isn't too shabby!

Keep and Scarlett it sounds like you both had very positive days yesterday, I am so pleased for both of you. And great news about getting your tests in Keep. My AF is due the day before my appointment (if I have ov'd) which will be perfect timing!

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 10:03

its very strange knowing that i have to try to not be preg before we've seen the specialist and had some tests done when thats the one thing we want

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 10:03

maybe Huzzah indeed!!!!! yay for ovulating, I assume hubby was happy to oblige?! wish I could see the look on your docs face when you stick two fingers up at him, waving that gorgeous BFP!!!

Imps7 · 11/07/2012 10:21

And I can be BFP Wan Kenobi.

Excellent egg pop page skills Maybe. Hurrah for pant snot and having the horn!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2012 10:39

Seriously, we should be script writers Wink

Face it must be strange. How long till that appointment now?

Sparks he was indeed Wink

TheLittleFriend · 11/07/2012 10:43

Imps I think I'll take Whammy. Tripe is yuk, Friday a bit boring maybe.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2012 10:55

I like it Little. Very 2013.

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 11:02

maybe first app is 9th aug so im sure it will come round fairly quick. forgot how ackward the whole erm pass me a condom thing is haha.

BartletForAmerica · 11/07/2012 11:03

I had better bagsy Friday while I still can then! I am SO offended that you think my dear, darling child's name is boring, Little.

keepitgoing · 11/07/2012 11:07

Yay for ov, maybe

face we have to abstain or condoms till next weekend too. Never thought i'd be using contraception again... It may do you good to have a month off, your body too. How are you holding up?

GreenOlives · 11/07/2012 11:11

Very little internet access in wet &windy Hayling Island! Suppose my bean will be tripe then seeing as the others are baggsied already! Great news on appts and scans, Im so chuffed for you Little! Xxxx
