Brooking NO ARGUMENT that those BFPs are on the way

SweetieTime · 27/01/2013 09:23

Not started a new Fred before but hope it is successful for us as we are going to get our BFPs, either by traditional rat smacking activities or using the power of medical science.

Ladies I do declare WE WILL GET THERE - FACT !!!

good luck with your appointment today maybe I hope that they give you a date to start everything

and scarlett hope the scan goes well today, as keep says have a poo first so that your bowel's not in the way :o

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 04/03/2013 07:28

Ooh that is very exciting indeed. Good luck with all the appointments Maybe :)

And Scarlet good luck with your scan.

ControlGeek · 04/03/2013 08:19

Good luck maybe and scarlet I'll try and post more later but am expecting today to be a wee bit busy!

ScarlettInSpace · 04/03/2013 10:36

Morning all! Still 3 good follies, still growing strong so keep dancing cos it's working Wink 2 on R at 14mm & 1 on L at 12mm so growing about 1mm a day, which seems steady? Endometrium lining 11.2mm but I have no idea if that is good [anyone know?] cos I read it on the screen after the nurse had left the room and then didn't want to admit to reading the screen in case they didn't leave it on in future so I couldn't ask on the way out Blush

Next scan is on Weds first thing then they will decide if to go for EC on Friday or Monday, I am still thinking Monday but I'm tempted to book Friday off anyway so I can sit and watch shite on TV all day without OH looking all disapproving at me like he does if I do it at the weekend Grin, plus by then I will have ovaries the siz eof beach balls lol!

keep the tiredness is totally normal according to my acu yes - I've been having a nap in the afternoon and bed by 10pm, which isn't like me...

Good Luck maybe x

keepitgoing · 04/03/2013 10:49

Well done Scarlett! Am so pleased. 11.2 is brill, anything over 7 they say. Mine was 5.9 on Sat, so hoping it's plumper.

My scan at 9.30 tomorrow so news will be in by the time you're all awake. I didn't go to yoga this evening as it's 'core muscles' today, and I'm starting to feel a bit big down there. Am having cookies instead...

Can I have brooking that I don't have too high oestrogen tomorrow as well please girls as the follie dance.

scar I'd book Friday off. Also tell dh to sod off it he's disapproving at the weekend. Crap TV is brooker-endorsed.

Well done again :)

ScarlettInSpace · 04/03/2013 13:35

keep am brooking for your lining! and your easterwhassit Grin

I've got to go inot the office on Weds and I've no clue what to wear without a/hurting my bloated tummy or b/ looking like I'm already diffed Hmm

I've had a not very productive day so far, mostly googling endometium lining, follicle size and other searches to that effect Blush

And I think I have decided to just book off Fri-Weds so I'm not messing about.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 04/03/2013 14:13

Hello brookers. We are back now. We have gone through way more today than thought! MrM had a micro dissection done straight away! 2 vials of sperm are now in the freezer. This wasn't as much as hoped, but it's all good quality. We are back next week for the start of ICSI!! Thank you all for brooking. Must go and look after the patient, will pop by later to see you all x

Solars · 04/03/2013 14:19

I popped in at just the right time! That is excellent news Maybe So glad things will move swiftly for you now!!

Scarlett that is great news about your scan, my clinic said anything above 8mm is fine for the endometrium!!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 04/03/2013 14:21

Yippee maybe that's fab news :o :o
Hope MrMaybe's not feeling too sore

ScarlettInSpace · 04/03/2013 14:31

Oooh maybe that's great news Grin you might sneak in a 2013 baybee after all OMG!

I SAID 2013 was a better year all round - whoever saod 13 was unlucky has no clue...

I've just been on another forum where there's a thread about the clinic I'm at, and someone is upset because they have had to abandon because she 'hasn't responded at all' as she only had 3 follies - made me feel a bit inferior that I'm happy with what other people deem a failure Sad

BeedlesPineNeedles · 04/03/2013 14:38

Yes but scarlett your 3 eggs will be absolutely fabulous eggs. So there.

ScarlettInSpace · 04/03/2013 15:34

Thanks beedle I know, it was just a wobble that someone else was so disappointed with what I considered to be a result...

Ah well onwards and upwards!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 04/03/2013 16:34

Well today is all sounding very positive Ladies. Scarlett I woud say 3 is the perfect number :):):)

Maybe I hope Mr M is not feeling too delicate, ICSI next week is very exciting indeed

I had a lovely growth scan today, I have been told that Booby is looking a lot like Toddly boo's size [eeek] but it is head down and ready to go, so just waiting now [impatient emoticon] we took Toddly boo with us to try and introduce him to the idea that a real baby is on the way and ................. he couldn't be less interested Grin

Big brooking to you all

ControlGeek · 04/03/2013 19:59

Oh maybe poor mrmaybe, he's really been through the wringer compared to the rest of the mrbrookers. Didn't he have to have bumcam at one point, too? Hope you're lavishing him with attention in anticipation of him lavishing it on you after ICSI has taken place

scarlett your three eggs will be fab, please don't compare yourself to someone else's cycle, they are in a different situation to you, with different issues. Try to hang on to the fact that you have a 300% improvement on your last cycle, which is an amazing feat by anyone's standard.

Sorry not to post more, it's been an exhausting day so I'm just going to have some soup and bread then head off to bed. Exciting life, me, huh?!

Maybe eekkk all happening very quickly now you you my dear, hope DH is recovering from his ordeal

Scarlett 3 follies is great and that lining sounds good too. It all seems to be coming together for you. Brooking that things continue as they are for you. Defo take Friday for r&r watching shite day time tv

boo sounds like you are going to be giving Olives a run for her money in the big bubba stakes. I am sure toddlyboo will come around when newboo booby arrives

keep looking forward to follie update in the morning, I will be sleep brooking for you

Well I rang in sick today just couldn't be arsed so I used the time to ring clinic again and we both have to go Friday to sign concent forms and will be getting going as soon as. In fact she said we would be done by mid April, i think they meant their bit, but will talk us through timings on Friday. So exciting times for quite a few of us.

keepitgoing · 05/03/2013 03:15

Wow maybe that's amazing, just what I was brooking for!! Two vials sounds like plenty to me.

sweetie great news, at last thing are moving. You can be at the same time as maybe!

Scarlet the others are right, don't let them put you off. Three is plenty, it only takes one. You know you have good sperm coming up, and a beautiful lining.

As for me, all looking good. None follies of 15-17mm and two others at 12/13mm. Lining and oestrogen fine, so thanks for all the brooking!! One more night of jabbing, then hcg trigger tomorrow night and EC on Friday morning at 7.30!!! Then if we have embryos they'll hopefully go in next Wednesday. Eek!!

keepitgoing · 05/03/2013 03:16

Nine follies, not none!!

GenericDietCola · 05/03/2013 07:51

Ooh so excited for all the assisted brookers!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 05/03/2013 07:53

sweetie glad you finally have some news, I bet you can't wait until Friday now

keep and you've got an exciting day on Friday too, though it'll all be done and dusted by the time we all wake up on Friday morning :o

and scarlett with EC soon too. Its going to be a bit busy with BFPs here over the next few weeks :o

Solars · 05/03/2013 08:03

Excellent follie count Keep

Waves to Gen nice to see you around

Geek hope they're not working you too hard at work.

Maybe how are you and MrM today?

Waves to all x

SweetieTime · 05/03/2013 08:25

keep nine is a great number and with a possible further 2 that may catch up.

OP posts:
keepitgoing · 05/03/2013 09:04

Yes, apparently anything over 13mm might have mature eggs.

Think Scarlett has a scan first thing tomorrow, its all systems go in Assisted Brooking World :)

keepitgoing · 05/03/2013 09:16

solars I forgot which day's your argc appointment?
