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

'ullo How the devil are you all?! I thought I'd pop in and see you 'orrible lot, people keep asking who the brookers/rat smacketeers are on threads at the moment, and it reminded me that I really needed to drop by more often!

Sorry that Shriek is having a rough time, and your GP's surgery are staffed by knobbers . I hope they pull their fingers out soon.

solars - eek! Tomorrow! Err... I totally recommend MNing as a way to keep your mind off it. Get stuck into a particularly juicy thread and you could lose hours. Or go and read some of the threads in Classics - I particularly love The Least Professional Moments of My Illustrious Career. The one called "I am a twat, I am a twat" is great too, although for some reason (stupidity?) I can't find it right now.

Sparks - I forgot to mention TucTuc crackers yesterday. They're very salty, and that always seemed to help my nausea until I brought them up again. MrSparks sounds like he's helping out well, good for him.

Maybe good luck for today! Ouch at bumcam though, poor MrM. I hope you get some good advice and a plan of action that suits you both.

Beedle fx for you too, and hope you have a lovely time with Ma&PaBeedle.

keep hope you have a lovely time with mummykeep, and enjoy scoffing your persimmons! Such a lovely word - name for a brooking baby, mayhap?!

Hope you feel better soon Cupcakes. Lying on the sofa watching bad films sounds like the perfect remedy.

Sweetie you alright? You look a bit, err, sparkly... Just don't start talking about babydancing, or MN might actually ban you

Lordy, I've run out of steam. OK - hi tock, Boo, fancy seeing you here . I'm 36 weeks, spidersmegs is head down finally, waiting on Group B Strep results before I order the birth-pool-inna-box and then it's all systems go . Seems like only yesterday I got my massively ironic BFP .

Oh god, girls, mum has warned me that super-fertile sis is about to TTC again. Am sure she'll be pg by Christmas. Having a wobble at it all.....

Where's maybe with news of the good doctor.

Still no word from dh. Will. Not. Worry. Rural India doesn't have internet cafes all over the place.

Argh

Hello there Smegs lovely to see you around and I've just read the first couple of pages of that thread, brought tears to my eyes!! 36 weeks wow!! Brooking for those strep b results.

Keep gosh it's hard isn't it, you will be pg soon, you mark my words! Can you contact your DH's company and ask whether they've arrived safely? I'm sure he is fine, hang on in there.

I've done a lot of Internet virtual credit card bashing over the last week Sparkes after my disappointing shopping trip last week! Lets hope the feeling bleurgh doesn't last too long for you!

Ok so I inadvertently killed 2 hours by falling asleep whilst listening to my cd [hhmm]

Solars sorry I got my days mixed up earlier, I was sure TESTING day was upon us. I hope you are ok and all geared up for the big day tomorrow shuts up before going all Netmums again

keep I am sure DH has arrived all safe, try to take your mind off things with mummykeep and not dwell on SIL TTC, it will be you before you know it

Maybe any update from date with DrW?

Smegs so lovely to see you, we often mention you on here in revered terms of LEGENG you will be having you sneezy water birth in no time at all. Good luck with the strepB results

Sparks sorry you are feeling a bit yuck today,hope it has passed by now

AF is still a no show, I went to see my reflexologist this afternoon and apparently it does take some ladies a while to get their AF after a failed cycle. I suppose your body has worked so hard to produce eggs against its will that it needs a rest. She did say it could take up to months to come back to normal. Apparently the Dr can give something to start things going but I would rather let nature take course rather than take another drug to force my poor old body to do something it doesn't want to.

Evening all!!

We are back. Seems like the scan man yesterday got it wrong. Mr Maybe is missing both tubes, and he is a carrier for CF. tis ok though, we were expecting it. His hormones were all ok, and again we got the 100% chance of getting sperm. So we now need genetic counselling and a blood test for me, then its IVF. thank you all so much for your amazing brooking x

Wow that's a lot to take in maybe - hope you're doing ok. May I ask what genetic counselling is?

Lots of hugs coming your way. I think a glass of is called for xxx

Oh Maybe you sound very positive and as if you're both taking this in your stride. Hugs. I was going to ask the same as Biscuits please to explain the genetic counselling? Is the blood test to check you're not a carrier of cf too? x

well, solars, the big day. I am here with my pompoms ready for you to wake up. GOOD LUCK, lovely.

maybe gosh, that's odd about the radiologist being wrong the other day. Sorry to hear that mrm is a carrier for CF, but we're all brooking that you won't be! and even if you are there's options. how exciting for you to be starting soon - do you have a date in mind yet! how do you feel about it all?

mrkeep has arrived safely, thanks all. Big blob of creamy cm this morning, i don't normally get much. is this a symptom, brooks like mad.

sweetie sorry that af is still MIA. That's so annoying, hopefully some woo will help bring her back, or, preferably, will coax out that lovely little egg you are surely growing and is perfect to be smacked. on a selfish note that would throw out my schedule for the next year! They should warn you about that.

isn't it awful? i adore my sister and my niece, yet the thought of her being pregnant before me again makes me just want to cry. And i did, last night. oh well, c'est la vie. i guess it's better to be forewarned.

Good luck Solars

gosh, biscuits you're up early! those boys waking you up?

Yes - well the littlest one is - pah! He does have a cold though so I'll let him off [hsmile]

Really sorry I can't give you any good news from me, but it's a bfn, but thanks for all your support throughout this.

oh solars i am so so sorry. I don't know what to say

Solars I'm so sorry

Have a very unMNy hug

So sorry Solars Big hug from me too. Xx

So sorry Solars :(

oh Solars Im so sorry, but could it be too early? could you just have a lazy egg? doesnt know how these things work

Keep I wouldnt worry about it, I cried when my DSis announced she was diffed for the 2nd time, and we weren't even trying at that point!! I think it was then that I realised just how much I wanted kiddies. And since we did actually start trying I've just assumed that everyone woman of a child bearing age has been TTC, like an all consumming paranoia!!!

Solars I am so sorry for you & MrS I thought you were looking really good. Hope MrS is looking after you today and you are both getting hugs in RL

Solars I am so sorry, big big hugs for you and MrSolars.

Maybe am sorry that Dr Wonderful has confirmed what you thought. It's good that he is still so confident of finding the sperm. How do you feel about the genetic counselling? Do you know anyone in your family who has CF or is a carrier? I hope you don't have to wait too long to get the tests done. Hugs for you and MrMaybe, I know you were sort of expecting this but it's still a lot to work through.

Oh Solars I'm so so sorry. I hope you and MrSolars are ok x

Thank you everyone for all your support. Yesterday's news was totally expected, so we were already prepared for it. I don't know anyone in the family that has CF, but then neither does MrMaybe. I suppose it's just one of those things that you don't know about until something like this happens.

The genetic counselling involves speaking with a geneticist who will go through all the risks involved of going ahead with the IVF knowing one of us is a carrier, i.e. the fact that our children may be carriers etc. I have a 4% chance of being a carrier, so I suppose we wait and see. Am going to be calling the fertility nurse today to sort out the next step!

So sorry Solars . I hope you and. MrSolars are ok. Look after yourselves .

Maybe is that the news you were expecting? I hope the genetic counselling is constructive and you both get the result you want. to you too.

Ah sorry, x-posted.

Thanks Smegs

Solars sending you a huge amount of and much, much love. Very very for you and your DH. I really hope that you can spend lots of time together and treat yourselves to whatever it takes. The Brookers are all here for you.

Maybe - you are doing brilliantly. I really hope the CF issue doesn't get in the way and that your BFP is closer than ever.

Keep - v hard to have super-fertile siblings. My brothers were the same but divorced from their wives while I was ageing and failing to be in the right relationship to responsibly have DC. I used to feel q angry about it all too. Your DMa seems helpful in that she has let you know - I imagine it might have been harder coming from sis. Brooking for your BFP.

Brooking for everyone and leaving double-strength mojitos that have to be drunk BEFORE LUNCH. Let's get pissed, it's the only way.
