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

[ScarlettInSpace]

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

Scarlett you poor love, I am brooking too for a quality egg! It is all such a roller coaster isn't it, hang on tight though and you'll get there. Lots of hugs x

Sweetie yes fingers crossed I get to start on the menopur tomorrow. They went through how to do it all today, but I already feel like I've forgotten what to do!

Boo, Maybe hope you both are well!

Hi Pearl I don't have any experience of ectopics but if you are having lots of pain and other symptoms then perhaps you need to be seen by someone.

scarlett so sorry that you haven't responded to the stims - do they know why that might be? We will brook for your folly, and the assisted natural sounds like it wouldn't be a wasted cycle. I'm brooking for a good result from the scan on Friday, whatever that good result might look like.

solars you poor thing, I'm so glad you didn't have to abandon - maybe the tears worked! That seems a good number of follies (though I know nothing, and thought the follies only started growing after the stims...) Brooking for your blood test results, and I'm sure you and mrsolars will manage to figure out the drug-giving. I'm sure there's a youtube video, or if not then don't feel bad to ask the nurses again today.

pearl no experience of ectopics, but if you're having pain i believe that can be a sign. Doctors (either GP or A&E) would not look badly on you for turning up to get checked out. Do you have any pain? If so I think you should go to the doctors, if not then you most likely just ovulated later, or it could be an anovulatory cycle. Better to be safe than sorry though.

Almost fainted this morning and got really hot and sweaty and clammy when i got up. It is super hot here though. 8ish dpo. I feel the same as normal, so am already starting to think ahead to the next cycle, though AF not due until next Thursdayish.

Aw Scarlett I am so sorry that you haven't had such a good response to the stims, have they advised you to up the dose? Just keep going and see what happens Friday, I will be brooking that those follies do their job.

Solars if you need any info on preparing the meds just ask, how many vials are you doing? Just give yourself plenty of time to mix the meds, I used to prepare it all then do the jabs. It took about half an hour the first time but i did get a bit quicker towards the end.

keep are you ok? Do you think it is just the heat or anything else?

face sounds like the wedding plans coming along really well

Geek any news on your appointment?

Well I POAS this morning just to be sure, of course it was BFN. I am surprisingly ok with it. I am going to book for my AMH doing, but I will ask our clinic what they would suggest as next steps, what we/they could do differently, if anything. We may go to a different clinic for a second opinion. But I would really like some time off from ttc, just to get our lives back a bit and enjoy the things we used to. DH thinks we should take advantage of our healthier lifestyle, not boozing, taking all the vits etc rather than letting that go to waste by going back to our old ways. Just taking it a step at a time.

Right am off to take pup for a walk before it starts raining again!!!

well, sweetie much as i would love it to be early symptoms, it's most likely just from the humidity/food. sigh.
Re AMH, I lurk sometimes on the TTC10+ thread, and have seen that a couple of ladies have been told of really low (or is it high that's bad?) AMH there, and i think it's not universally seen as a helpful test. Just to warn you, in case it's a poor result. Some of them wish they'd not had it done. Might be worth starting a thread along those lines?

Could you try and not make any decisions for a couple of weeks and just keep healthy lifestyle if you can, or to some degree. Waiting until you've spoken to the doctors and got more info, and had time to process before deciding either way might be the best way. Big hugs, and enjoy your pup x

keep I think that is good advice, I will create a thread on AMH and see what others say. Look at I think it was Smegs who had low results and then got her BFP. So is it just another number we are compared against that really doesn't mean much???

Glad you are ok, I suppose you are just getting used to the massive difference in everything.

Scarlett sorry you are feeling down, but good that you are seeing some positives and hopefully one follie = one golden egg = one baby. Brooking.

Solars, glad to hear your scan went well and brooking for the stims!

Still brooking for everyone else of course. Was it Maybe's appointment today?

Oh Sweetie I am so sorry about the BFN. I hope you get lots of answers tomorrow.

How are you feeling Solars? Did the phone call come yet?

Gen lovely, how are you? Its our appointment tomorrow, thank you for checking. Am feeling sick with nerves. Think it is more as I don't know what to expect from the appointment.

Hope you are feeling better Keep

scarlett you poor, poor thing - and after all you went through with the down regs, too. It is excellent news that this won't count as your free go though. Brooking that this gives you a super strong chance for a natural cycle, and you won't need to go through this all again.

sweetie I'm sorry about the BFN, but I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I hope your appointment gives you some answers. I can't really advise about the AMH, I was very glad to have mine done but as much as anything I think that's because it gave me an answer. If you think there is a chance it will make you feel worse, as in another number to compare yourself against, then it may not be worth it. I think it's more important if you are in the unexplained category and desperate for an answer.

Keep I think you said you're about 8dpo now? Well done, and brooking that AF stays away.

maybe, good luck for your appointment tomorrow, please try not to worry too much about it says the pot to the kettle . Breathe in, breathe out... breathe in, breathe out

Sorry, am on holiday, just popped in. So sorry to hear your news Sweetie and Scarlett. Be kind to yourselves and take things easily. Also - Sweetie, are you in London? I went to CRGH who were great. If you're looking at another clinic it might be worth seeing them.

Keep there is a website of the pharmaceutical company which has a video on it so hopefully I should be ok, otherwise I may be referring to Sweetie the clinic. If it is very hot & humid there then I can understand you fainting, when we were in Darwin I fainted at my first yoga class, you would have thought they would hold a class in a nice air conditioned building, but no it was just a hall with a couple of ceiling fans and the doors wide open to circulate the hot air! But do take care of yourself in the heat!

Sweetie sorry about bfn. I can totally understand the wanting to step away from ttc for a while after this experience, for one fleeting moment when they were talking about postponing my cycle I felt a sudden relief of not having to continue and if this cycle doesn't work for us then I think we will be having a break too. But as you said one step at a time and getting feedback from your clinic and having a realistic discussion with them will all help you both make the decisions of where you go from here. In terms of AMH I personally don't think I would go for it as correct me if I'm wrong but it can't tell you the quality of your eggs can it? But if it is going to help you make a decision of taking a certain route then perhaps do it, but get lots of advice, the thread sounds like a good starting place. Also I'm on 300 units of menopur.

Waves to Gen hope all is well with you?

Maybe try not to stress too much just yet, brooking all will go well tomorrow. I have indeed just had a call from the clinic and I have down regulated and wil be able to start on the stims tonight! My next appointment is on 5th October! Lots of brooking please.

Geek poor you and MrGeek with your long cycles, yes if your appointment was only last week then waiting to chase up next week is fine.

Still brooking for you Scarlet

Oh Solars that's great news. I am brroking like billy-o for you x

Brooking for your appointment tomorrow Maybe I hope you and Mr m start to get the answers you need.

Geek lovely, I'm so sorry, I managed to miss your message!! Thank you so much. I will remember to breathe. After all, can't have me passing out and making a fool of myself can we

Buff and polish, buff and polish, pack the provisions, tack the horses, the quest begins at sun up!!!!! (Or what ever time Maybe has her appointment)

Geek sending virtual energy drinks for you and Mr g

Cheery wave to all brooker's

I am officially an mwepp :) had my booking in today.

morning all, as usual i am here to lead the brooking charge, and today maybe's top of the list. Brooking that your knight-in-shing-armour consultant will find sperm and prove all other tests wrong. Or that he'll whizz you into top-class icsi before christmas. Either way, baby by next summer please, Mr consultant.

solars that's brilliant news, and i hope that the first injection went ok. So it's about a week until your scan? Talking about yoga, here there's a trend for 'hot yoga'. I kid you not. They close all windows and crank up the heat until it's nigh on 40 degrees, then you sweat your way through an hour. at the end when they open the windows and let in the muggy stinky bangkok air it apparently feels like blessed relief... No, i've not tried that yet!! Poss once we're a little more acclimatised...

boo - so pleased for you!! Well done. What do they actually do at those appointments?

Brooking for maybe's scan today, fx you get some answers x

scarlett I'm so sorry that the stims haven't done their job, but it sounds like you have a plan so hopefully it will work next time

maybe good luck for today

keep tell us what sort of books you like, or go into the adult fiction area (it doesn't mean porn :o ) I've read a few good books that have been recommended there

Well we are on holiday now and I won't make you all jealous by telling you how lovely and hot and sunny it is here and I'll post now before the slightly dodgy internet connection gets the better of me

Morning all. You lot are great.

Thank you Keep yes, a nice little september baby will do me nicely. You'd better brush up on your thai, as your booking in will definitely be there. Yes, what sort of books do you like? I'm always reading.

Beedle thanks lovely. Where are you hollibobbing? I'm most jealous.

Scarlett thanks so much lovely. Hope you're doing ok.

Hope the first stim went well Solars

Right, must get up to take the pup out. But its cold. I shall brew tea for all

most things, maybe, not really sci-fi or mystery ones though. All recommendations welcome. What time's the appointment?

Just wanted to wish you good luck today Maybe

Also wanted to say I'm brooking hard for you all. Sorry to see of your bfn Sweetie . Hope you are being well looked after xx

Scarlet sorry the stuns didn't work - am keeping my fingers crossed that they've made that one egg a super golden egg in any case.

Solars hope the stimming is going ok for you xx

Stuns? Stims I mean

Morning all!

Brooking for maybe's appointment today, fx your knight in shining lab coat can give you some proper answers. A September baby would be nice, because that's when I've decided I'm having mine

solars ooh you're onto the stims already! That last week has just flown by (though possibly not for you ) Brooking that they do their job and you see lots of follies at your scan.

beedle yes, definitely jealous of your holiday. Hot and sunny it ain't, here!

Looking forward to my week off at the end of October, we have decided to keep our original holiday dates as it is likely to be at least a couple of cycles before we are cleared for IVF. I imagine they will insist on some recovery time following my op (whenever that may be) so I'm brooking for an early op date, and a December/January cycle. Ironically, it looks very likely that the go-live date for my new software will be moved back again, with January being the most likely date. Work are going to be convinced I'm making things up, moving my dates to coincide with go-live each time!!!

Right, time to get ready for work

Thanks Biscuits how you getting on lovely?

Geek hopefully we can be cycle buddies

Keep afterwards by Rosamund Lupton is fantastic. I love a mystery though, But I won't recommend any of those. Did you watch Luther in the UK? The first Luther novel is amazing. I also love love CJ Sansom. His Shardlake series is one of my faves. But I love historic novels. Also loved the Pillars of the Earth. Any good?! Appointment is at 12.50

Thanks maybe i'll give them a go!
