This thread is the one the Rat Smacketeers all become PSEPP and we are Brooking No Argument this is the case. Fact.

Ladies this thread is the one, I can feel it in my water [although maybe that's the drugs ], here you go

Only thing stopping me going bonkers!! Hate preggers peeps who have to constantly stroke their bump

It's not the rubbing of bumps it's the excessive rubbing of bumps..... Sure I'll be able to put my point across much more coherently tomorrow!! Thank
Heavens for predictive text!!!!

Oh i see, do you mean those people despite it being pretty obvious they are pregnant,they have to emphasise is by constantly rubbing bump? They are the people who have a week by week update on FB, mum to be sticker in the car and from about 6 weeks also have their hand on their back and shuffle off the sofa like they are full term. wow, didn't realise how much i didn't like preggos

When you are pregnant, do your best not to do these things.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

Just wanted to say brooking extra hard for your scan tomorrow Scarlett, lovely, hoping you get to start those stims and you start to fell better soon x

I

scarlett all the best for today's scan. I am brooking that you'll be able to start on your next cocktail of drugs, which will be the opposite and make you feel amazing!

sparks i agree with you on the bump-rubbing. You might as well rub my face in it. good luck for the job application - i agree with whoever said that internal jobs are less about the interview than about whether they just want you.

sweetie what are you up to this week? hope you have some nice things planned.

Well, I got my peak this morning, so had a sneaky rat-smacking session before work. DH has another one planned in for tonight Only two days of highs, normally 4... But i'm not complaining.

We had a great weekend, got out of the city which was lovely as it's hot and smelly here. We are having proper rain - people are worried about a repeat of last year's flooding within the next month or so.

Scarlet brooking for your scan, really hope you will affable to start the next cocktail.

Morning everyone, how are we all doing on this lovely Monday?

Morning all!

scarlett brooking like mad for today's scan for you, you've had such a rough ride so far but the other drugs should help and the end will be well worth the means.

sweetie how are you feeling?

solars how long til your next step?

Went to bed without ironing any shirts last night so am in a bit of a flap this morning. My whole routine has gone to pot. Arggh!

Geek we're not doing it for you!!!

Morning all!

Scarlett good luck x1,000,000,000,000,002 for this morning. What time is the scan?

Geek I hate it when my morning routine changes. The first time Moyles played a song before 7am I went a bit mental thinking I was 20 mins late - he had always played his first song while I brushed my teeth and that time I'd only just got out of the shower. Put me on edge for the whole day, that did. Am well sad he's left now.

Sparks excessive bump rubbing is annoying. I also get annoyed with preggos who assume that because you've never been pregnant you know absolutely nothing about the subject of babies or how they are grown.

Sweetie hope you're taking it easy today after your upsetting weekend. Can I bring you anything/do any chores for you? Don't want to see you lift a finger at the mo.

Boo how are you getting along? How many weeks now?? Scan booked??

Gorgeous autumnal weather this morning. Love those crisp sunny mornings. Would love them more if I could stay in bed though.

Good day to you all

Oooh a message so good you got it twice.

ah, crisp mornings. Don't see any of them round 'ere.

geek - i'd just wear a crumpled shirt. Often do, in fact.

imps - what accurate writing you have these days. are you not on the iphone, perchance? How's things with you - are you still taking it easy on the ttc front? Wish I could take a leaf out of your book, really.

is anyone in the tww, other than, of course, sweetie? We need some bfps, girlies.

Keep believe it or not I am on the iPhone! I am trying really hard to type accurately these days - have sent a couple of emails to clients featuring classic Imps Fingers typos and quite frankly it's embarrassing! So have got into the habit of checking as I go along and deleting mistakes. Takes bloody ages to type anything though!

Yes, still verging on the side of non-TTC and generally having a lovely time with OH. We're still TTC as we would quite like a family and will start tests in the New Year I think (by then it will have been around 18 cycles) just to see what's amiss but we are both of the view that for us having kiddieswinks is not the be all and end all. Our view on this may change in future of course but for now that's where we're at.

Which goes a very long way to prove that the "relax and it will happen" theory is bunkem. But we knew that anyway!

Morning I am so very tired this morning, not much sleep as it was a nightmare getting to sleep last night. It was like my mood had suddenly switched from being very optimistic to the complete opposite, all the worst things I could possibly think could go wrong with IVF was buzzing around my head keeping me awake. I even started silently weeping, DH heard me and calmed me down somewhat. It just all seemed very bizarre, I feel ok now just very, very tired!!

Sweetie hope you're ok

Nice to see you around Imps I love these crisp autumnal mornings too!

Geek my scan is booked a week tomorrow so still one more week of downregging for me if AF had started the day before it did, I would be having my scan tomorrow, but luckily I've not suffered greatly from the side effects so another week should be ok.

Keep sounds like you smacked that rat good and proper!

Hello again. Funny you should have asked today Imps had my first appointment with the endocrine doc today and they surprised me with an early scan, baby boo is 7 weeks old and looks very comfy with a good heartbeat. :):):)

oh boo that's brilliant news! well done you

solars it's the drugs talking. Hang in there. Glad your DH is being supportive, though it must be hard to know what to do. One more week, and you've done two already i think? so you're nearly at the next stage.

imps thank you for debunking that godawful theory, which only serves to make women feel even worse about not conceiving. That winds me up no end. Of course there are some women who happen to conceive on a month when they're relaxed. But plenty of others conceive when stressed etc etc.

Where's face - when are you back on the rat-smacking? Now you've got a plan are you just going for it, or waiting till a bit closer to your wedding?

geek what's up with the geeks, are you still on for IVF next cycle or still having appointment issues. I think i've lost the plot with you, sorry...

Just popping in to say good luck with appointments and scans.

Thinking of you all.

Yeah congratulations boo

Morning ladies
boo I didn't realise babyboo was so far along, great news on the scan - big hip hip hooray

solars so sorry you are feeling down, it is the drugs and the feeling of helplessness, but it isn't for too much longer. We are here for you with hugs and support.

Phone ringing, i will be back shortly !!

Morning all, v quick post as on phone at trade show, thanks sooooooo much for the brooking, it clearly worked as I am totally down reg'd and start stim tomorrow

Just have to worry about stim not working now lol...

Next scan week tomorrow to see if ovary is responding brookety brook brook x

Ooooh it's all looking good so far Scarlett! And for you Boo! Hurrah!!

Solars honey no silent weeping! Don't try to keep your emotions under wraps - we don't want you being sad in silence. Brooking with all my might that the next drugs are kinder to you.

Got to have a filling on Friday - BOOOOO. It's only my second, which I think at 32 isn't too bad but still annoyed that my gnashers aren't as lovely as they used to be.

Scarlett great news, the stims are a breeze in comparison to down regs, the prep is just a bit messy and time consuming. I was absolutely fine with it. Very exciting time, not long now.

Geek I only buy clothes I fill squash myself into so all the wrinkles disappear

Well done keep for morning rat smacking, just what the Dr ordered.

I have no symptoms to report, lower tummy still feels like I have pulled something but that might be everything settling back down after what it aha been through.

But I have gone and done something silly, please don't shout at me. I have bought a puppy!! I was so missing my dog and need something to take my mind off all the upset and worry. So we collected her yesterday, little black cockerpoo. She is a real live wire but adorable. I will obviously get an ironic BFP now won't I?
