Sweetie that is reassuring, if things get worse I will contact the clinic.

Sneaks a hug from Biscuits

PrincessPumpkinshoutsBOO · 11/10/2012 15:35

Oh Solars it will be from the collection, it just will!! I know this because I am a brooker. Now step away from Dr Google, he knows nothing of brooking!

Well said Sweetie didn't gross me out much at all Grin

ScarlettInSpace · 11/10/2012 16:49

solars brooking like mad for you melove, it will all be fine and you will lead the BFP's!

Buggery bolloxy spotting started here which at 11dpo is very very early for me with me usual 28/32 day cycles! I blame the drugs. Ooooooooh maybe its a bit of a delayed implantation Grin

Solars a quickie from me as on my break at work. Progestrone can irritate the cervix and cause bleeding too so I always used the tradesmens entrance for mine if you know what I mean! ;-) Might be worth a try? Brooking hard for all you lovely ladies - that agreeable pee stick is just round the corner image sure! Xx

GreenOlives · 11/10/2012 18:31

Im sure! Not sure where image comes into it!

Solars · 11/10/2012 18:47

Thanks Boo & Scarlett I'm sure that has to be implantation Scarlett

Olives I'm using the ahem tradesman passage as advised by the clinic well until embryo transfer when they say to use the front, so not sure, hope it is something normal. Have an appointment with my acupuncturist this evening so will get her take on it. But thank you and hope all is going good for you?

GreenOlives · 11/10/2012 22:11

Hope the acupuncturist helped Solars. I wonder why the clinic want you to use the front entrance after transfer? Just to warn you all the ladies on my NK cell thread who used the front entrance had some degree of spotting so be prepared for that. Im sure the bleeding you've had is to do with the collection so try not to worry. Im good thanks, have developed some SPD so a little sore after my long work days but its a small price to pay, im 21 weeks now which I still have to pinch myself to believe!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/10/2012 23:12

Solars lively, I am so so pleased to hear your news, I really am. I am brooking super hard that the little lazy emby is ready tomorrow too. I hope your bleeding has settled down now.

Olives you poor thing, SPD sounds so nasty. Hope you're getting some physio.

Scarlett I'm simply not accepting that this is AF spotting. I fully believe in the wafty dance.

Sparks can we add that to the list too, you know, the wafty/emby/follie dance?

Sweetie we are impossible to gross out. Fact.

keepitgoing · 12/10/2012 03:50

solars I am brooking that the bleeding stopped and it's not AF. It just will not be. Masses and masses of good luck for later on today with the transfer.

I am writing a list of questions for the clinics we're going to over the weekend about IVF. Starting to freak out a bit, DH is so calm he says he's not nervous at all. I don't actually know what i'm nervous about, tbh. It's not like they can say oh you're infertile, as they don't even have any test results.

scarlett good news on your implantation bleeding. That's actually good timing, as i hear it occurs 6-12dpo!

olives congratulations on getting to 20 weeks already! Have you had your scan - is it boy/girl?

GreenOlives · 12/10/2012 07:57

keepa list of questions sounds like a great idea - there's nothing worse than coming away from somewhere and realising there's things you've forgotten! We had 20 week scan last Fri, all looks perfect, its an UBB although the sonographer may have given us a clue with a silly slip of the tongue which has made me a bit cross
Maybe I have been seeing the physio in Occ Health (finally a tiny perk of working for the nhs!) and I have a very attractive support belt to strap on for work days ;-) I hope your twunty boss is being less twunty this week!

SweetieDoesIt · 12/10/2012 08:05

Solars good luck today, you will be fine. Did you have a mock transfer done before? So excited for you - soon to be PUPO (preggo until proved otherwise)

Olives can not believe all the triple whammy Friday ladies will be past the 20 week stage Shock just goes to show time flies when you're having fun. Sorry to hear about te SPD especially in your job

keep list of questions is defo the way forward at these things, I found everything just went out of my head when I got in there. I don't deal with pressure situations very well, goodness only knows what I would admit to if ever arrested

Scarlett how's you today?

Sparks maybe another to add to the list of brooker traits, impossible to gross out, even with the most vivid description of bodily emissions, fluids and the like

Shriek any further symptoms to report? And are those IC working yet?

Well I feel a name change coming on, I will have a think and pop back later in disguise

keepitgoing · 12/10/2012 08:09

should i know what UBB is...? am i being dense?

crazy, triple whammy friday doesn't seem very long ago to me. Probably does for you three though - gosh, what a brilliant day that was for the brookers.

Biscuitsandtea · 12/10/2012 08:30

Keep it's an Unidentified Brooking Bean, ie when you've not found out if it is a boy or girl.

Can't believe you couldn't guess that Grin

Biscuitsandtea · 12/10/2012 08:31

Can you remind me who the triple whammy Friday people were? I've forgotten... Blush

keepitgoing · 12/10/2012 08:51

olives bartlett and little
ah, thanks biscuit - bit bigger than a bean by now though!

Biscuitsandtea · 12/10/2012 09:13

Well this is true keep

Solars · 12/10/2012 10:12

Hiya just about to leave for Oxford, but just wanted to say thanks again for all your brooking, no spotting overnight and a smidgen this morning so hopefully all ok. Acupuncturist was helpful in saying spotting usually means nothing but she did some magic to help it stop so with that and hopefully the pessaries kicking in I'm hoping all ok! I've now allowed myself to feel a little excited about the transfer now!

Olives I can't believe you're already at 20 weeks, halfway there!! but boo to the spd and I'm brooking the physio helps with that!

Keep good idea about the notebook!! Good luck with all your appointments, is the first one today?

Sweetie yes a I had the mock transfer so hopefully should all go ok.

Waves to Maybe, Shriek, Sparkes, Biscuits, Scarlett, Boo and anyone else lurking xx

keepitgoing · 12/10/2012 10:15

turns from unidentified brooking bean, to unidentified brooking baby??

solars good luck!! Glad you're feeling excited - i am on your behalf. My appointments are tomorrow, sunday, monday... We are going for brunch afterwards tmrw and sunday to dissect the info - should be fun (that part).

PrincessPumpkinshoutsBOO · 12/10/2012 10:21

Oh Solars good luck, brooking so hard for you. Hope lazy laid back emby had a word with itself and got on with it too.

Biscuitsandtea · 12/10/2012 10:34

Yes you night be right with the baby / bean thing keep. This is embarrassing as I'm pretty sure I may have been involved in the conversation when the UBB was invented Blush. Ah well.....

GOOD LUCK SOLARS

Shrieklette · 12/10/2012 12:53

Only time for a fly-by post I'm afraid, but had to wish solars the best of luck, and brooking that the lazy egg has also bucked its ideas up!

TrickorTreatSweetie · 12/10/2012 13:44

Much excitement, much excitement

Pictures of mini fluff have arrived on FB for all those who wAnt a nosey

SecretSparkle · 12/10/2012 13:48

Good luck solars

I hope fluff puts pics on here too

Biscuitsandtea · 12/10/2012 14:11

Thinking of you solars, hope it has all gone / is going well xxx

GreenOlives · 12/10/2012 14:27

Good luck solars!
keep I can confirm that my UBB is considerably bigger than any bean I can think of judging from the size of my belly Wink! Disseminating info over brunch sounds very civilised - good luck!
