I would take it with/after the couple of times I took mine before food I a really bad upset tummy, might have been coincidence though!

Also meant to add brooking for a quick scan date and lovely accessible ovies :)

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 27/04/2013 15:01

Wow, bad grammar and half a sentence!! I would take it with/after food, not before on an empty stomach! Well you get what I mean Blush the end story is I have been fine! How many do you have to take how often?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2013 15:12

Fab news geek I'm brooking for an appointment very quickly and easily accessible ovaries. I have also put mrb on 1mg vit C a while ago, but not the vit E, how much should that be eachday?

maybe do you have an expected start date?

maybe !!!! Next month?! Yay Grin brooking like mad for you my lovely.

sweetie surely you driving is enough of a reason to not be drinking?

boo two days - TWO DAYS? I really don't know where this time has gone. So excited for you Grin Thanks for the advice on the timing of the metformin, I can see I am going to have to be very careful with my planning. I am to start on one a day, going up to three if my body is ok with it. I've just been googling and there are a lot of stories out there about how it can improve egg quality even in people without PCOS. And hey, if I get a little weight loss with it I'm not going to complain says she, scared to go back to WW in case she is so far above goal weight she has to start paying again

keep yes, just 15 minutes and I'm not even sure that we were in there for even that. I didn't ask about immunes in the end. I figured I would sound all kinds of crazy even to myself.

ControlGeek · 27/04/2013 15:16

x-post beedle The cons didn't give a value for the vitamin E. MrG takes 1000iu each day of that (d-alpha form). The vitamin C is 1000mg, which is 1g which is what the cons recommended. He also takes Wellman Conception and as much HGW as I can throw down his neck Blush

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 27/04/2013 15:17

you ARE all kinds of crazy Grin

takes one to know one eh boo

BeedlesPineNeedles · 27/04/2013 15:54

I might try to get mrb on some vit E then. I did have him on dissolvable vit C and zinc from tescos (less pills to swallow) but as I haven't been to England recently he just on plain vit C.

How did I manage to miss next month in your post maybe ? Would that mean May as in starting very very soon? It will be very exciting around here :o

Solars · 27/04/2013 17:35

Yay Maybe you're starting next month! Wow so many of you, I won't know for sure until a couple of weeks! So we have you and Beedle on a dead cert starting and then potentially Cups & Geek exciting times for brooking BFP's for sure!!

Geek your appointment sounded extremely positive, brooking double time for your scan! Don't know much about metformin but brooking you don't suffer any side effects. It's a shame he couldn't perform the scan at your appointment.

Sweetie yay!! I have a feeling you may be on for multiples ;) Would saying you're on antibiotics help this evening?

Cups hope you had a lovely lunch

Looking forward to all the wham bam BFP's in the next few weeks, eeeeekkk

BlindKitty · 27/04/2013 19:05

maybe love how you make it sound like the swimmers are just next to the frozen peas haha! Really brooking for your ICSI next month.

Really hope the shortbread you left isn't like the stuff dh made a few months ago. Think he either heated the toffee for too long or used too much (or both) but it was so hard it was inedible!

RubberBullets · 27/04/2013 19:26

Kitty my story is a little different from the others as I'm the black sheep of the brookers.

I joined MN in August 2011 and fond the brooking thread really quickly. I became pg with dd in my first full cycle of ttc. DD was born in May 2012 and last month I got a very unexpected BFP from 1 careless sff Blush

BlindKitty · 27/04/2013 19:36

rubber ah you're one of those are you??? Only messing, i'm only jealous anyway haha! whats a sff?

RubberBullets · 27/04/2013 19:41

Sex for fun :)

RubberBullets · 27/04/2013 19:43

I am 'one of those' but the brookers are really lovely and let me stay anyway :)

BlindKitty · 27/04/2013 19:45

ha think sometimes I've forgotten what sff is! Of course, I'm only kidding. I just wish I was one of those brookers too!

RubberBullets · 27/04/2013 19:50

I wish you all were, it is very unfair that ttc is such a lottery

BlindKitty · 27/04/2013 20:50

I'm sure its karma lol. My friend says its because everything else in my life is too perfect and I can't have everything lol

Solars · 28/04/2013 07:39

Goodness knows why I am up so early Confused

My story Kitty is ttc for 3.5 years, no hint of a BFP. Clomid on 4 months still nothing, 1 failed NHS icsi last sept/oct, scraped in before I turned 40 endometrioma discovered on left ovary had that drained last December. Now at argc, immunes tested and just 1 more blood test before I complete my monitoring cycle and they figure out what to do for me.

We are off to see my new niece today, looking forward to newborn snuggles.

What is everyone else up to?

keepitgoing · 28/04/2013 07:47

Hey solars. I'm about to go to the airport to meet dh :) Ooh your niece is born! How lovely, how are things with sil? Maybe easier now baby's born? I'm brooking you can start next cycle, with all the other brookers.

Solars · 28/04/2013 07:51

Hey Keep Awww I love reunions at the airport, heard anything about the job yet? yep things a little easier now niece is born. When's your next scan btw?

keepitgoing · 28/04/2013 08:09

No, it could take up to a month for them to let us know, apparently... Grr.
I have a scan on Tuesday - excited and nervous! Have my list of stuff the NHS do at this stage to demand as well.

SweetieTime · 28/04/2013 09:51

Solars enjoy those newborn snuggles

Keep enjoy your reunion with DH snuggles

Bullets I agree with you that this TTC lark is just a life lottery, no one can help the circumstances they find themselves in. It is just the luck of the draw.

Geek sounds like the appointment went really well, brooking that you get an appointment this week. But it sounds like your treatment is just around the corner.

We had a lovely time last night, the not drinking wasn't an issue in the end as the other lady wasn't drinking either Hmm I didn't say anything to her and she didn't say anything to me so who knows. I did have a bit of a dilemma over the food though, I should have checked before I went what preggos have to avoid. So I skipped the calimari I was gutted as luffs seafood and the black pudding scotch eggs. I checked when I got home and could have had both Sad but better safe than sorry. I did have serrano ham though, I forgot to check that!!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2013 11:33

Ooh Keep how many weeks will you be at the scan? I can't believe MrKeep has to wait a month to find out.

Sweetie I have no idea what you can & can't have when preggo. Although I did have a cream egg mcflurry yesterday & thought of you! I had no idea that whippy ice cream was a no no until I saw it on the Brookers FB page.

Geek great appointment, fingers crossed you get in for the next cycle.

Maybe it's lovely to have you back.

I really hope I get accepted after this AF as I want to be in the may/june assisted brooking gang!

I had a lovely day out yesterday with my friend. She gave me a lovely card and a little gift to cheer me up as she knows I've been feeling down. I nearly cried and I'm not a crier.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2013 11:34

Solars hope you have lots of nice newborn cuddles with your niece
