FFSMaryDidntEvenNeedSexToGetPg · 27/11/2012 14:41

FFSMaryDidntEvenNeedSexToGetPg · 27/11/2012 14:42

PS I'm having a quiet unpestered day at work. Can you tell?

MissLToeishavingsantasbabyboo · 27/11/2012 14:44

Hahaha I think whoever wrote this is definitely an MNr look here

BartletForTeamGB · 27/11/2012 14:45

Sorry, I've not been around. We definitely need to chat more to make sure there is a Christmas thread!

WinterSolstice · 27/11/2012 14:46

I'm loving all the new name changes, Beedle how about BeedlesBardaciousXmas? or BeedlesPineNeedles? Sorry, I'll try and think of some more....

Sweetie wow those are fantastic percentages! By the way I couldn't open your link either :(

I'm looking forward to your update on Saturday, I'm putting my money on you being quite teary eyed Sparkes

Geeks/FFS take the break, you will have a very, very busy year next year and you'll only regret it Wink Unfortunately the clinic were not really helpful when I spoke to them. All they said is their lab doesn't carry out this test and it would be pointless to if they are going to perform ICSI anyway, which I can understand to a certain extent but we still feel a bit unsatisfied by that. The natural conception part just doesn't add up, we just have that feeling somethings not right about what they are saying! They shouldn't be saying it's still possible for us naturally when they haven't even done the test! I wrote on the Infertility boards and someone replied saying their consultant said their fertility issues were due to this and that they would be surprised if they could conceive with a high percentage of antibodies! Well DH has an appointment with his GP to ask if they will test but I don't think they will so we'll just have to wait until we see our new consultant I guess!

You've definitely made the right decision being a SAHM, those hours would have killed you off by now, Biscuits And how lovely of you to be considering donating eggs too!

Boo I'm glad you put the boo back into your name!

Keep I'm still brooking for you! It's not over...

Also my lap has now been confirmed for the 14th december and then hopefully we can get a move on with our next consultant!

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:50

I'm obviously innocent as I didn't think anything dirty about your name Sparks

keepitgoing · 27/11/2012 14:52

It's weird,solars why do they say natural would be OK, yet this causes a prob for ivf so they had to do icsi???

Went to a big mall tonight shopping. There was an Xmas tree and some English carols playing, but not much else christmassy in the shops.

sparks did you hear from maybe about her hsg?

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:52

Solars a Friday is a nice day for a lap, you have the weekend then so don't have to worry about going to work afterwards.

SantasSecretSparkle · 27/11/2012 14:52

Bahaha boo but that actually makes me cry!!!

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:52

Sweetie fab percentages there

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:53

Keep boo to spotting

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:54

Geek if you try and get a job then we will come and sit on you. Take a deep breath and relax or else

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:55

Well that makes the end of the thread a little closer...

WinterSolstice · 27/11/2012 14:56

Well done Jen [Grin]

WinterSolstice · 27/11/2012 14:57

MissLToeishavingsantasbabyboo · 27/11/2012 14:57

JenFrankincenseAndMyrrh · 27/11/2012 14:58
