maybe i didnt think i knew that mant people! we both have large families which is around 80 of the guests and im allowing that all single people mite have plus ones so i think its more likely to be no more than 120.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/07/2012 15:15

That's me Sparks screw the NHS, I'm going dor DIY Wink

Face we had about 120 in total too, I also have a largish family (I blame the Irish in me)

Princesslovelyboo · 18/07/2012 15:30

Hey Maybe we are cycle buddies, we will be confirming at the same time, FF says I am infact 8dpo too (but I think it is also sulking at me for not giving it any data for a few days :))

Geek when do you get to start writing strongly worded e-mails, and complaining to snooty overpaid receptionists consultant secretaries?? I will come with you, I can stand behind you with my boxing gloves at the ready!!!

Actually I could be a Boo for hire, to any brooker that needs a snooty Dr, Phleb, Consultant 'seen to' what do you think??? You lot could keep me busy for months Grin

cartoonface · 18/07/2012 15:34

my mums one of 5 all her siblings have kids some of them kids even have their own kids!! blooming young ones beat me to it with the babies.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/07/2012 15:45

Wohoo Boo

That's a lot of cousins you got there Face!

SecretSparkle · 18/07/2012 15:52

wow you guys with your huge massive weddings, I think we had about 65 at ours but then my family is sooooo tiny!! I think my family masses to a grand total of 19, and that includes cousins and babies!! my mum is an only child, and we dont have anything to do with my father, or his family!! then there were about 8 of my 10 of my friends, and the rest were hubbies family!! we only had 5 additional evening only guests!!

feeling mildly jealous with all this secret handshake business going on!! Ive decided Im 11DPO today (although I might change my mind later) so who can I buddy up with? I think Imp might be with me? but I forget exactly who is where!!!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/07/2012 16:00

Oh Sparks you and Imps are so in on the secret handshake shizzle. So that makes us a group of 5 wannabe BFPs. Roll on the next few days I say!

cartoonface · 18/07/2012 16:02

too many bloody cousins theres nine of us one of them has one kid and my other cousin is about to have her 2nd. my poor grandma! my dads side is tiny thou. he has one bro who never married or anything

Solars · 18/07/2012 16:39

Hello!

Sweetie so sorry to hear about your consultation, I thought part of IVF was to over stimulate your ovaries anyway to produce more eggs? Also I've heard it's quality rather than quantity anyway!

Geek that is shocking service from your clinic, I think I would be ranting at the surgery by now!! Another bottle of wine tonight? I'm not normally a ranter but i was so angry that I once ranted at a phone company who were being totally incompetent, asked to speak to the manager, shouted at her too and so they cut my monthly bill by half! If I hadn't ranted I don't think they would have compensated me at all!

Keep we can afford to go privately which it looks like we'll have to anyway now. My gp is going to ring me at the end of the week to let me know if she's got any further with it so we will then push the button down the private route.

Maybe I'm good thanks! You sound properly diffed by the way! As do all the others in the 2ww, looking forward to the imminent confirmations.

Lovely dress by the way Face

By the way we had about 250 people at our wedding which was 3 years ago today I come from a very big family with lots of family friends too and in actual fact 200 guests were from my side and about 50 from DH's, most of his family live abroad.

Waves to Munx, Gen & Bartlet and everyone else!

Imps7 · 18/07/2012 16:52

I'm up for Quad Whammy Friday!! Am 10 DPO today.

Well busy today. Arrg.

cartoonface · 18/07/2012 16:54

happy anniversary solars

JenFraggle · 18/07/2012 17:20

Imps with 8 in there you would have got a BFP the day after DTD :o

GreenOlives · 18/07/2012 18:37

Bartlet Thats great news!
Geek No wonder youre angry, what a cock up, i agree that ranting may be the way forward!
Sweetie Sorry the follicles were not as good as expected but it really does only take one - be that natural or IVF.
Waves to everyone else.

Geeklette · 18/07/2012 18:41

I've now got "my" test results in my sweaty paws and they are definitely not mine. It is a 'Fluid study' giving levels for fluid albumin, fluid LDH and fluid total protein. Even squinting at the results in the same way as I do when I desperately want a pee stick to look positive, I can't find an FSH result among them. Tomorrow is going to officially be Rant Day. MrGeek is currently out hunting down all available supplies of Mateus Rose in town.

TheLittleFriend · 18/07/2012 19:16

bartlet I'm so pleased to hear your scan went well, I knew it was some time this week.

Brooking for all the soon - to - confirm pregnant people xx

ReturnOfTheMunx · 18/07/2012 19:21

Thanks so much for the lovely welcome back, I will be sticking around don't worry!

Had a very scary premature labour threat scare and was lying very low, but everything's ok now fingers crossed.

I am crossing everything for you all and hoping for many BFPs soon.

Lovely news about the recent PSEPP and great to hear of successful early scans, having had them with both of my successful pregnancies they really are very reassuring.

Anyway forgive the lack of name checks,it consider you all clasped to my expanding bosom.

SecretSparkle · 18/07/2012 19:31

Is it wrong that I'm now adding symptoms to fertility friend, not so much because I think they could be anything exciting but just because I want to be more points pregnant on FF?! I'm currently 56pts pregnant!! Must try harder on the symptom spotting front!!

Geeklette · 18/07/2012 20:18

Way to go sparks! I managed to get to 61 with my first cp, but only 40-something with my second one. 56 is good going :)

PS - what symptoms are you recording?

SecretSparkle · 18/07/2012 22:51

The usual geeks, sore boobs (but only occasionally), womble cramps, nausea, tiredness etc etc but these really are such fleeting symptoms and I kid myself in to thinking I have them every month!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/07/2012 07:42

Morning smackers.

How are we all today? The sun is actually out here, I hope it is for all of you too.

Sparks can you only do that on the paid FF membership?

Oh Munx you poor thing. I hope things are

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/07/2012 07:46

Hello fat fingers, posted too early.

Munx I meant to say that I hope things are running more smoothly now. When is your due date?

Geek are you ready for your rant day? Hope DP managed to find you some rose. And some more for tonight too.

Happy anniversary Solars I hope you did something lovely.

Well, my temp is up today. My boobs are so so sore I can't sleep properly now. I knocked one yesterday with a bottle of bubble bath. The words that cam out of my mouth are not repeatable at this time of the morning. And yet more womble pains. I think I am going to work from home tomorrow. MrMaybe was lovely yesterday, he treated me to a load of soap and glory stuff, and I had the best bath. He has been on nights this week and is off in a stag on Friday for the weekend, so I have hardly seen him Sad. Though my knitting is coming along a treat Wink

keepitgoing · 19/07/2012 07:49

Argh, just got my peak on cbfm. No unprotected dtd yet this month due to this mornings hsg. Will have to get on it tonight and hope we haven't missed the boat. Do people think it'll be ok...

maybe I am so hopeful for you. When are you due?
sparks any news?
munx so pleased you're ok

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/07/2012 07:53

Oh Keep good luck for today lovely, let us know how it all goes. I am no CBFM experts, but I would have thought you will still be in with a chance

AF is due a week today, day before our first consultant appointment

keepitgoing · 19/07/2012 08:03

Thanks maybe, am super nervous, kept waking up last night, silly me.

BeedleTheBard · 19/07/2012 08:26

keep good luck for today, I'm sure it will be fine. I'm not a CBFM expert but SWI this evening sounds like good timing to me :o

maybe sounds like some excellent symptoms for you, and you too sparks

Right I must get dressed as I have another day of shopping ahead of me - I have a hard life at the moment :o
