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 was like that testing early! haha we seem to have similar ways of thinking. get the digis though. so much easier. get an app or something too I have one that predicts my most fertile 5 days

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 12:17

Rash still there.. stupidly just did some exercise which made it worse.

boo have you found out the sex? I think you're not going to? You are, what, 22 weeks?

MotherOfCleo · 07/01/2013 12:35

Haha, cartoon that we are, I am uber skint this month so the cheapies will have to do I'm afraid. They seemed OK last month, One app wasn't enough for me, I have two lol, I just wanted to check if they said the same thing and they are actually slightly different. The woman log one is the better one. I have however invested in some conceive plus this month, haven't told the OH yet, not quite sure how to broach that subject lol.

cartoontrickster · 07/01/2013 12:47

we have concieve plus too. and dh was on the man conception vits. every little helps!

Withalittlesparkle · 07/01/2013 13:50

Keep that totes should be my new name!! I meant because Im used to calling her face and now theres no link to face in her name. I think face may be staying put for a little while (but she may correct that)I agree with Boo dont worry about a bit of cramping, the day I got my BFP I had AF cramps, I was so convinced I'd wake up the following day and to have come on, its unnerving but nothing to worry about. Also pay attention to where you cramping is, if its fairly high its probably a stomach related issue!!

Boo/face 16 week check is this afternoon. Scan is 31st, and yes I think we'll find out what we're having, I'm horrendously impatient so wouldnt be able to control myself!!!

Cleo We have two kitties, identical twin boys, but I wont actually say what the others name is because its rather unusual and would cause a massive outing!! I think its great that you're still positive at the beginning of every cycle!!

On the conceive plus front I bought a little syringe and discreetly.. erm.. applied it internally before he came to bed. I didnt get on with it though, it just made everything a bit... slippery.... so stopped after a cycle!!

Keep I can sympathise on the rash front!! My urtacaria is still driving me bonkers!!

Congratulations cartoon Smile you'll be on the grad fred before you know it!

sweetie that is excellent news about your womble lining, that BFP is in the bag.

keep you poor thing, if it's not one thing it's another for you. Still, at least a rash won't prevent you going ahead with the cycle like the thin lining did. Good luck with your sister's visit, it's so so hard but you are doing the right thing keeping the questions and comments to a minimum, and staying private about your own treatment.

cleo you'll get there, it is still very early days for you yet. Glad to see you are so optimistic for your new cycle though.

All good here, though dink-boss is up to his usual antics. Have just been over to shadow someone upgrading a piece of software only to find out they thought they were supposed to be shadowing me doing the upgrade! No news on the op appt, am giving myself this week to get my head straight and will chase towards the end of this week, beginning of next, to find out what is going on.

cartoontrickster · 07/01/2013 14:06

its exactly like af cramps really friday afternoon it was mainly in my lower back and down my legs. I've had a couple of twinges since but that's it. I am too scared to announce myself over on the grads just get! I have to admit that there's still a big part of me that is all too aware that this time still may not be our take home baby.

NewYearNewBoo · 07/01/2013 14:27

Oh Face I'm sure we will see you over there very soon! Brooking no argument!

Keep sorry to hear about the rash, shame the exercise has made it worse, yes I am carrying a UBB (unidentified brooking baby) we are just coming up to 24 weeks, it is moving along quite fast now I think.

Cleo nice to see your true brooking spirit there!!

Sparks pmsl at your discreet syringing, I know I shouldn't but it made me giggle after a poo morning Grin

Geek time for that sea gull cull? Or I could still put on the boxing gloves just for him?? sadly had to give up the boxercise a couple of weeks ago but would love another go

ControlGeek · 07/01/2013 14:34

Oh yes, meant to say - sparks - you did know you could get applicator packs of conceive plus, didn't you? Though I've found it led to a lot more fall-out Blush than going au naturale!

Withalittlesparkle · 07/01/2013 14:39

boo totes read that as you'd giggle and had a poo!!!!! Bahahaha

geek I heard the applicators put loads in and I was struggling to use the amount they suggested for fear of making swi more trip a trip to a water park!! BOAK!!!

ControlGeek · 07/01/2013 14:46

Hahaha boo I read the same as sparks - very bad coincidental line length there m'dear!

sparks I never had a problem with the quantity in the applicators, and it would have been easy not to use it all - lying with hips up for 10 minutes definitely helped lessen the flume ride, so to speak, too - it was about an hour or so afterwards that the gravity-fed autoflush kicked in Wink

NewYearNewBoo · 07/01/2013 15:02

Shock honestly ladies, I wouldn't lower myself to such vulgarity though I did have a poo this morning, that needs celebrating these days Grin

cartoontrickster · 07/01/2013 15:04

ive uploaded a few of our proper wedding pics to my profile on here if anyway wants a nosey

NewYearNewBoo · 07/01/2013 15:05

Your profile is private :(

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 15:07

sparks I was just kidding re face...

geek you are so sweet. Hope your appt comes through this week. I could really do with some brooking, as have dildocam on Thursday and hoping lining is ok this month, and eggs are the right size and number. Thanks girls.

We just use conceive plus as a lube, no issues internally, but sometimes in the outside esp if its a quickie... ;)

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 15:14

I wouldn't mind the rash if it GETS ME A BLOOMING BABY!

sparks is yours pregnancy related? Poor you, its been ages x

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 15:16

face you do realise everyone will think you're one of those annoying lucky people who get pregnant the first day off contraception...? :)

cartoontrickster · 07/01/2013 15:20

oh is it hang on let me fix that. I know keep I do feel lucky -guilty- that we conceive quickly. just lack the staying power!

cartoontrickster · 07/01/2013 15:22

i think ive done it

NewYearNewBoo · 07/01/2013 15:30

Ooh Face you look absolutely beyooooooootiful! Thanks :):)

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 15:32

keepitgoing · 07/01/2013 15:33

And I agree, gorgeous face!!!

SweetieTime · 07/01/2013 15:34
