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!

I seemed to have regulated to 28days. he said to use first response. that can pick it up, up to 6 days earlier but obviously some women won't get a positive that early I can't remember what the percentage of accuracy is. so ill test again in the morning, then I've done days 23-25 like he said.

solars that's good that its been changed to a better day for u!
keep what is iui? I really shouldve asked ages ago but thought I was probably being thick. (as usual)
sweetie hope it goes well tomorrow. think thick!

SweetieTime · 03/01/2013 18:10

Solars that sounds better timing of things, was it Beedle who was scanned when AF was calling. I am not sure I would be very comfortable with that --after 10 years of avoiding going for smears Blush

Brooking my brooking socks off for you tomorrow cartoon I suppose everyone is different on when the tests show as positive. I think there is a web site that actually gives brand percentages if you google it.

My notes came today from my previous clinic. It is very interesting totally inappropriate to see what the various Drs actually write. I am so glad I moved clinics as some of the comments those I can actually read make me out to be some neurotic person, who is FUTILE in attempting IVF with my own eggs!!! Don't these people realise it is more than a physical investment, the mental undertaking is far far greater. MUPPETS AngryAngryAngry

face Just thought Id say that my BFP (on a frer) was on day 28 (of an average 30 day cycle) so therefore about 12dpo. I never tested earlier than that as none of my pregnancies showed positive until 12/13 dpo. Fingers crossed its just to early for you!
Waves to all the brookers - I always keep up to date with what's going on here and hope with all my heart that an agreeable pee stick is imminent for all of you very soon! Smile

GreenOlives · 03/01/2013 18:34

Apologies for spelling/grammar, I am one tired brooker tonight! Blush

cartoontrickster · 03/01/2013 20:33

um so Dr google tells me frers don't get evap lines, surely that's not true?!

Withalittlesparkle · 03/01/2013 20:39

face step away from google!!! It's possible to get evap a on any test BUT its Far less likely with a pink due test!! Fingers crossed for tomorrow

cartoontrickster · 03/01/2013 20:44

I know Google always mis informs me! ( but well frers are pink so maybe!) must not get my hopes up.

cartoontrickster · 04/01/2013 06:24

thanks for all the congrats, i definatly think that the brookers vibes helped!

keepitgoing · 04/01/2013 08:58

Congratulations face!! It's OK to be scared, just take it to be day at a time. Remember you're on the drugs now, so you have every reason it'll work out.

Now, was the baby actually conceived on your wedding night???

Iui is intrauterine insemination. Basically I take drugs to get two or three eggs, then a trigger to time ovulation, dh jiaj, the sperm are 'washed' to get the good ones, and then injected right into the uterus. It sounds great, but success rates are actually pretty low.

Congrats again!!

MotherOfCleo · 04/01/2013 09:06

whoop whoop whoop, if the CB says so then it's a diffed FOR SURE!!!!! Yay! So chuffed for you, envious, yes but beyond excited for you!
Get on those drugs! Smile People can be that lucky, you have been! Grin
