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

Great news Boo

Maybe nice to have you back and of course we'll be brooking that both of your genes are fine & dandy! Great to hear the appointment has come around. Unfortunately my calmness went out the window this morning as I had a wave of: this is all pointless, it hasn't worked, I want to stop stalling my life for this and then I shouted at MrSolars. I've calmed down since though when I had a lovely conversation with one of my cousins, but I don't know what came over me this morning, possibly just the anxiety of it all :(

Oh Solars you poor thing. You are allowed to have a wobble. But this is most definitely pointless, and it is going to work. The oracle has spoken

Beedle I'm seconding booby

boo great news about booby ! You must be so happy. Will you tell teen and toddlerboo and others now?

solars am not surprised you'd have a wobble, this is so tough. Hope mrsolars is doing ok. You're nearly there, and we're brooking for you!

maybe good to see you, and brooking for good cf results, when do we you hear? Even if mrm has it you won't, fo sho!!

6dpo, mega sore booby continue. This is the earliest and sorest they've been this early, so even though its too early for symptoms, guess what I'm doing? That's right, mentalling. I want my due date two weeks after sparks and one week after solars, please, brookers.

Dh leaving tomorrow for 6 weeks , though I should see him in the middle for shag week

Keep we are so on for a triple whammy! Sparks, Solars, and you!

We hear on Thursday, so not too much longer now!

I'm so upset/mad. MrMaybe has just had his first scan. He called me from the hospital being all paranoid because the sonographer asked him if he had had any infections. So now he is panicking that he has something else wrong with him, when I told him to calm down he told me it was his problem and nothing to do with me. After everythingnwebhave bloody been through the last two years. I'm so mad.

H has never had an STImcheck, but I had one months after we started seeing each other, and it all came back fine. Now I don't know what to think. Sorry for the me me me. Brooking will resume shortly.

Gives Maybe a squeeze, I don't think MrMaybe meant it like that, men always like to feel they can/have to solve their own problems without our help! Perhaps he's also feeling a little vulnerable at the moment. Plus this whole business can really test a relationship, remember I snapped at DH this morning! Perhaps it was just a routine question the sonographer asks? Can he ask what they meant by it when he goes for his next scan, is it tmrw?

Thankssolars I said the same to him. That's a good idea about asking at the next scan. It's on Wednesday. He is feeling vulnerable, I have been trying to be there for him. But he is now acting like a martyr cos he has had a scan. I love him very much, but sometimes I want to strangle him. Or hit around the head Beedle style

Men can be such fragile creatures can't they, god forbid if they actually had to carry the baby, go through all prodding and poking and then give birth to it! Yes there's been many a time when I'd also like to have done the same to my DH! I'm sure he'll have been worrying over nothing x

Thanks lovely. The voice of reason as always. I just wish I had been there to ask questions, poor MrMaybe isnt the best at that!!

Can you go with him on Wednesday? Or perhaps tell him it's ok to ask questions about what they're doing, looking at.

Hopefully I will go with him. I have said to ask, I managed to get an 'i suppose so'. So that's progress

Awww poor MrMaybe :)

thank you for the name suggestions, I will take them under advisement, I was thinking more boonybaby or boobino rather than booby

Solars I have to say you have done remarkably well to get this far and only just have a meltdown, I think I would have completely lost it a whole lot earlier than this (also see confession below :))

Maybe your poor bloke, I am sure he was just trying not to worry you, in his own way. the frying pan treatment should keep him in line in future :)

Cooee everyone else, sorry been a bit absent for a few days, I had a complete and utter mentalist weekend of madness I became totally convinced that something would be wrong in the scan and that we would not get a good outcome. My lovely friend even brought some of her baby stuff (she needed them out of her house and I had already said I would have them) on Friday and I completely freaked didn't like having them in the house so did a 40 min round trip to my DBs house to hide them. I have absolutely refused to discuss baby, look at baby things or do anything that meant having to think about the baby all weekend. I do feel a bit silly now though :) Back to my brooking best. Hope you all had a good weekend.

keep sore boobs was my first proper symptom, the weekend I got my BFP, whenever i turned over in bed I'd be in actual pain!!! And yes please, I'd very much like you to be due around the same time, but then I'd like ALL Brooker to be due around the same time

maybe I think he is just feeling a little tender!! Men are useless at these sorts of things, when I went for my internal scan mrsparks treated me like china afterward because that's what he'd want!

solars you're totes allowed to have a melt down!!

Popping in for hand-squeezing and chocolate crunch cake.

Maybe - lovely to see you but sorry it's all so rotten. Poor Mr Maybe - this is hard for guys (and girls) and they can't stand it all being so public. Who can? I think the STI questions are routine... I'm just so glad that these steps are happening, however tough it is you are getting closer to getting your brooking baby.

Solars - totally understandable and not worth dwelling on a shout. Also - it surely means you are diffed? Keep your pecker up lady. Brooking like billio for Thursday.

Big waves to all. xxx

Thanks Tock I think that definitely is MrMaybe's problem, the fact that it's so public. He opened up last might finally. He explained that actually having the scans was finally admitting there was something wrong. He had secretly been hoping the scans would say everything was alright. Got to love him.

Glad to hear you're back to your brooking best Boo!

How are you feeling today Solars?

Clicking you are far too kind! By the way official testing is on Friday, eek!

Oh Boo the worrying never stops does it, even after getting the bfp! But good that you're back to brooking!

Maybe I'm good thanks, I've kept myself busy this morning with a bit of work. Have been a lot less wobbly and just trying to think positive thoughts! How are you and MrMaybe doing today?

Keep has MrKeep left now? :( Remember we're all here to keep you company. When does your mum arrive?

Glad to hear your doing on Solars. MrMaybe is doing ok thanks, think he is a bit worried about tomorrows scan, but it's more cos of what's involved (trans rectal, the poor thing). Looking forward to Thursday's appointment though!

I am so pleased Mr maybe opened up to you Maybe Mr boo is not like that at all, I have to try and figure out what is wrong then ask him about it, he is not a sharer :(

Solars how are you feeling now? I am sure Mr s will forgive you a melt down or 2 this week, can't believe test day is nearly here :) brooking so hard for your sticky emby.

Hiya everyone else, including lurkers, hope you are all ok and we see you back here soon.

I have a nice new hand bag to move all my stuff into, (I love a new bag with all the pockets and zips to explore) what are you all doing today (apart from work and brooking of course)?

oh poor mrMaybe I'm not surprised he's not looking forward to it.

Sorry I've been a bit quiet over teh last few days, keep really is my twin this month as I also have my parents coming to visit! So there has been much cleaning and tidying away of stuff in óur house :o

solars I'm sending positive thoughts for friday

MrM isn't always a sharer Boo it takes a bit of forcing out, but we get there in the end your new bag sounds fun!

Are you looking forward to the incoming parentals Boo?!

Fab news Maybe - he's bound to feel so much better saying that to you. He's doing really well with it all, bless him. When you have your brooking baby in your arms he will look back and laugh at dildo cam up his bum!

Stay positive Solars - I know lots of people with great IVF stories after a rough old time of TTC.

xxx

Haha! You are so right Tock. Maybe we should give said baby an apt name...

[naive emotion] I didn't realise Mr m was having bum cam I just assumed (in a denying anything nasty, fairy princess stylee) that it would be an external scan. Oh poor fella, bum cam then 'ooh are you a dirty shagger with the clap' questions, I can see why he was not a happy bunny. Well done you Maybe and Mr m!!

That was a well done for you getting him to talk about it.
