Santa Baby, Leave a BFP under the Tree for me <brook the Rat Smacketeers>

[SantasLittleControlGeek]

Old Fred here

Here we go Brookers, it's been a long year with lots of BFPs and newborn snuggles for the Brookers. We're just a sleigh-ride away from 2013, when the rest of us will get our get our 12 week scans (because of course we will all have BFPs under the christmas tree this year!)

So come all ye brookers, it's tinsel and baubels all the way!

Cup bad timing for DH to JIAJ, might not be the best results after Christmas & new years festivities Poor you on the job front too, you need no stress in your life at the moment. it is terrible if you are unhappy at work, we spend too much time there to be unhappy

Hi, can I join? me and my OH are TTC our first, I am very positive this month, we DTD all 5 days prior to OV and on OV day (I got a plus on the OPK so know I OV'd). AF due new years day so I have 11 days to symptom spot.....eeek. FX

Never too early or too late for mulled wine or mince pies!

Sweetie I am so excited for you, it is all working out perfectly, 2013 is definitely your year for that BFP! Did you manage to ring the clinic for your womble drugs? Hope your cold gets better too! I think I'm healing up ok, still feels a little tight in that area and I'm a little bruised in a couple of locations. My follow up with this consultant is on 5 jan.

Cups lovely, I think you're doing the right thing about giving yourself a deadline with work and I'm brooking you'll land that perfect job soon! I've definitely realised career isn't the be all and end all! Yes poor DH having to JIAJ on 2 jan! Really your mum was 36 when she went through menopause, can they take this into account? surely this is also a reason why you should be referred asap?

Right I need advise here, not sure what to do as yesterday I used an opk and it was nearly positive, today it was definitely positive, so ovaries seem to have got back to normal despite the lap! I was hoping ov would be delayed! However I think dtd will be a little painful so not sure whether we should give it a shot this month! DH seems a bit reluctant as he thinks he'll be hurting me but I just also feel we shouldn't waste a month?? What do you think, should we just rest up this month? I could probably just about bear the pain!

Hello and welcome MotherOfCleo of course you can join! Brooking for your New Year's Day BFP!! How exciting!

Hey everyone. Slap my wrists for being a bad brooker of late. I should be back with u all properly in the new year. I shall try not to miss any Christmas bfps.
I bet I've missed loads of news, I feel totally out of the loop. Sorry everyone!

4 more days to go ladies! Fingers crossed for all xx

In advance, apologies for drunken post - all inthe nme of science is allI will say... -

solars thnk you - I will have 4 entry pints tool, but in slightly different locayins t you b bu the sounds of it. It's so good to know recovery after that is so uick, I was really worried it was going tpo be 4+ weks.

sweetie we have given each other our fb names, so we know we are not weirdoes men and I haven't dared suggest a rat on the shoulder as yet, given she is not yet a brooker. Brooking tat AF contiues to not show up for you, and you give us your ironic BFP as I'm sgtartng to feel like the brooker that stole christmas (all threse freds and no BFPs iykwim)

cups despite unreliability, I am in the camp of all info is good info iykwim. If you at least know your AMH, you can at least know where you stand - if it's good, that's great, if not then you know your options if that makes sense.

Wow cups about your job though. It really sounds like you have had enough, so giving yourself a deadline sounds like the best thing you can do. Brooking you get a lovely job in the meantime though.

hi motherofcleo, good luck on your post-ov wait. Do you temp at all?

solars I can't really advise as I don't know how painful it might be for you - if you feel up to it, maybe go ahead (but really gently!!!) but to be honest if you gave it a miss this month it probably wouldn't be the end of the world - you have had a pretty major deal this month, maybe you mgiht need a month off? I would say take it as you feel like, and don't push yourself beyond what you want.

Got reminded today that despite all my planning and prep, I hadn't bought MrG a christmas card. oops!!! Ended up uying one in a drunken stupour after being taken for a pub crawl. REALLY hope he likes it (aand the presents!).

Yes, it's Yule tomorrow, so trying to stay awake for the obligatory midnight sherry tonight. Not enough pressies to do the midnight thing, though he seems to have got me more than enough and I'm now feeling really guilty... still, I have spent enough and more so no need to feel bad I keep telling myself

Right, time for food, happy Yule all, see you tomorror when the stress is over.. xxx

Happy Yule Geek I love your drunk posts, better than mine were

Brooking for xmas (and Yule) BFP's for all and welcome new brookers, I will catch up with you all properly soon.

4 entry pints tool? Oh cripes shoot me now!!!

I read your post assuming at least 4 pints had entered you Geek

ermm In my defence I had hd about 4 pints beofre posting..

Have had a biut of a discussion with MrG about the saddest xmas story... hve just read him The Little Match Girl nd plan on reading him the little christmas tree and the little mermaid soon...

Happy Happy Yule Geek

Is the wedding this weekend Face? or have i missed it? hope you have/had a wonderful day x

We decided to give ourselves a break and not dtd, thought we'd give myself time to heal and not cause any possible complications such as bleeds or infections.

I'm getting married tomorrow!

Good luck

Have a fabulous day :-)

Happy Yule Geek too

Happy Yule Geek hope you have a fabulous day (and your head doesn't hurt too much)

Good luck tomorrow Face hope you have a lovely day, post lots of pictures!

Morning brookers, who is getting their Christmas BFP's this week then?

face congratulations, enjoy every minute. It will be the happiest day of your life - FACT

Ahh face have an amazing day!!!! xx

Have a fab day tomorrow face, can't believe it has come around so quickly.

For all of you who were wondering, AF found me in the night told you so

aw Jen sorry to hear AF is with you. That is obviously what's delaying her from me, currently cd31 usually only have 26 day cycles. Am getting a bit fed up of the waiting now, I want her here and gone befire the big day.

Geek hope you are enjoying your Yule?

Solars did you manage to DTD yesterday?

DH has just finished work for Christmas and decided to make a start laying the laminate floor in the hallway. AIBU but WTAF - is it not the Christmas holidays????

Erm Sweetie did you say AF was 'delayed'?

Ummm, Sweetie, m'dear, I have heard of people, when AF is delayed like that, doing something called a home pregnancy test - apparently it's some little stick that you can wee on and it will tell you if you're pregnant . Amazing really what they can do with science these days.

Just sayin'........

I used to have AF visit me every month but September 2011 she didn't arrive. October came and went, still no AF. Then in May the funniest thing happened to me, I had a baby! AF decided to wait until August 2012 before coming back and is now visiting me monthly again.

Just saying

haha, love the last three posts! sweetie you need to POAS lol, for your's and our sanity. GOOD LUCK!
