Thanks boo that was my thinking. She was leading up a work's group of about 30-40 of us, mostly 20-40 year olds (only 3 blokes in the whole group) so chances are at least one, not counting me, could well have been struggling ttc. I know of at least one other lady in the company who struggled to get her first, and is now going through IVF to try and get her second.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/04/2013 21:47

Bloody woman, so you are talking about 37 women of child baring age and she does that. She must have been one that got pg quite fast or by accident because anyone who has had even a minute of struggling ttc wouldn't have done that.

Good point well made boo Sad

At least you manage to skulk at the back geek . Though I am still slightly confused at the person who started the clapping. Why???

I'm brooking for good fertilisation news this morning sweetie so that we can start the divide embryo divide dance.

Morning all, sweetie I hope you're feeling a it better today. I think IVF puts so much pressure on us that we can never manage our expectations properly as its so emotional. I'd bite your hand off for 5 good eggs lol! I'm sure it will be fine, good luck for the call today, I was on a knife edge the morning after EC so I feel your pain x

boo have you not bloody dropped booby yet ffs?? Are you one if these weird women who likes being diffed? Wink

Big hugs to maybe beedle geek cups keep solars, face if you're lurking I hope you are doing ok, and did I see imps posting lately Grin Grin ummmm jen and bartlett I think I've seen too,sorry if i missed anyone...

AFM I'm on CD17 of the weirdest cycle ever, I've had every type of CM including a couple of days of Gushington Central lol - but none of the hallowed EW variety and I usually get that every month without fail, p'raps my body has given up altogether now and I'm going to be one of those lucky ladies who goes into menopause in my 30's Sad

So I don't think I ov'd this month, But I guess if I'm not capable of natural conception I don't suppose it matters! I'm due on next weekend so should be starting the IUI then but I think I'm going to put it off until June, I just think I need a break but I also feel like my chances decrease with every passing month they goes by though, so maybe i should just get started as planned, what does everyone think? OH is useless, he says it's up to me Hmm

Adding some Brooking for good news Sweetie

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/04/2013 08:59

Just read back, sorry Scarlet wasn't ignoring you, I'm 37 weeks this week and no sign of booby shifting. The eviction process is starting next week [eek]

Geek hope you have a more peaceful day at work.

Still Brooking for you Sweetie, what time will the clinic make the call?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/04/2013 09:01

Come on Sweeties eggs!!!! Brooking for 5 lovely looking fertilised eggs. Good luck my dear.

Hi Scarlett so nice to see you. It's a tough decision to make, I know it's really hard to "miss" a month as I also feel that we only have limited opportunities. But I sincerely think that you need to be in the right mindset to undergo any form of assisted conception. It's a big thing to put your body through, if your mind doesn't feel ready. I guess what I'm saying is if you really feel you need a break then you have to give yourself permission to do that. I remember reading a post a while back from a frequent poster in conception who was really apprehensive about starting an IVF cycle. She had a terrible time during DR and ended up cancelling her cycle herself. Good luck with whatever you decide x

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/04/2013 09:04

Beedle I nearly forgot! Any news? Or are you holding out until tomorrow?

keepitgoing · 10/04/2013 10:37

Brooks for the eggs> come on eggies fertilise. Call, clinic, call!

Scarlett sorry your dh isn't being more helpful. I'd say a month off can't hurt, can it? In terms of physical things. If you're not champing at the bit then it might be good to give it a while.

beedle...?

sorry no news here, I'll test again tomorrow - and then when I get a positive peestick I'll pee on 10 more so I can send one to each of you to admire. You can pm your addresses :o :o

OP posts:
EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/04/2013 10:51

Beedle we should arrange a skyped round of applause for you too Grin

RubberBullets · 10/04/2013 11:31

Let me just check if www.beedlespositivepeestick.com is available...

Yep, surprisingly nobody is using that so it is free for lots of pictures of said pee stick and maybe a video of the actual stick dipping so we can watch those lines appear You can email a link to everyone you know and we could put it on fb too :o

I like your ideas :o I will buy that domain name now (or whatever it is you do to get your own website)

I think a video of the peeing in a ramekin might be going a bit far though Shock

SweetieTime · 10/04/2013 11:39

Morning all, sorry for the delay I have been waiting for the negative aura to pass!!! I think I am getting there only just So thanks for the fertilisation dancing it obviously worked, 4 of the 5 are fertilised and going strong. So they have booked me for transfer Friday afternoon (day 3). They will grade the embies tomorrow and discuss what we/they plan to do. I was worried that they would just bung back whatever but they have assured me we should have at least one worth putting back. They have sent me a stats sheet of what chances each day of transfer carries and what risk of multiple birth. This has actually made me feel much more positive so I am starting to get my head around things again.

So what is everyone else up to????

Beedle will your grads pee stick have arrived tomorrow for you to pee on? Are we having a group web cam of the actual event? I am surprised Channel 5 haven't picked up on this trend they seem to do everything else of bad taste Good luck for tomorrow, I so hope you will be confirming what we all know.

Scarlett so lovely to see you. I have reacted so much worse this time than I did with my own eggs. It is really strange, I almost felt like I was grieving yesterday for what could been. I am not sure it makes any sense but until you have been through it no one can say how you will react. Sorry you are having such a tough time of it too and DH isn't helping you with the decision.

Great to hear Imps is still around, has anyone seen anything from Biscuits lately either?

Geek I always find work pregnancy announcements very difficult, but have yet to come across a round of applause!!! As Boo says I don't think she had struggled as she would have been more sensitive otherwise.

Solars did you ever tell us about Italy? How was it?

RubberBullets · 10/04/2013 11:43

Not a video of you peeing, that is a bit TMI but a video of the lines appearing on the stick after the peeing.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/04/2013 11:45

Imps is around?? Did I miss her? Hello Imps :):)

Sweetie did they say #5 could catch up? You do sound so much more positive today :) Brooking for those little embys to all be A++

keepitgoing · 10/04/2013 11:53

Sweetie :) I like the sound of that fact sheet, very professional! Four fertilised normally is just brilliant. Just focus on those now, not what might have been. Hope you're doing ok, its all such a head fuck. X

keepitgoing · 10/04/2013 11:54

Yes, I had a lovely message from biscuits after my bfp. I think imps is just here living through our clumsy fingers...

BeedlesPineNeedles · 10/04/2013 12:46

sweetie 80% fertilisation rate is fab, glad you're feeling a bit more positive again.
I don't think the pee-stick will have arrived yet, stuff ususally takes about a week (unless you are M & S who still haven't managed to deliver the stuff I ordered at teh beginning of March Angry ) And besides I'll save the special brookers stick for when I actually think I am pregnant. Rather than the desperate clutching at straws from random symptoms that I do every month :o

scarlett I also find it hard to miss a month but really 1 more month is not going to make a huge physical difference but it might make a big difference in how you can cope with everything mentally.

OP posts:
ControlGeek · 10/04/2013 13:34

sweetie that's a fantastic fertilisation rate! Brooking like mad that they grow loads and that you have a choice of how many to have put back on Friday. Is there any chance you could share that stats sheet please? I'd love to know what a clinic rates the chances as being, compared to the widely self-conflicting Dr Google.

scarlett as the others have said, one month won't make much physical difference, but it could just give you the mental lift you need to get back on track with it all. That said, it is v hard waiting for AF when you know you've no cause to hope she won't show. Sorry, that was probably about as helpful as DH's advice to 'do what you want' Blush

beedle I'm loving your website plan. You definitely have to have live dye camera action! Please do it complete with drum roll, and canned applause Grin

Stealth-ov was confirmed this morning. I still haven't told MrG I'm brooking this is the start of things to come, and my cycles will now all be 28 days long!
