Brooking No Argument that we'll get BFPs from our Easter Eggs

[BeedlesPineNeedles]

Well done keep I hope its the first of many :o :o

Right who's next with the BFP???

Oh Face no wrist slap from me. I think I understand what you are saying about hope. Although I've no experience of what you have been through. After nearly 3 years of ttc I still get irrationally upset if I think we have missed ovulation as a small part of me thinks that could have been our one chance or if we have a good month & dtd lots (especially if it feels like its been natural and spontaneous) I convince myself ill get my BFP. I'm keeping everything crossed for your next bean to be super super sticky.

Boo I start my new job on the 20th. How's DD doing? Hope your feeling a bit better about things today.

Geek I'm sorry to hear dink boss is getting dinkier. Well done on getting a high at last. Brooking for lots of rat smacking and a quick ovulation

face lovely to see you back, have you had chance to talk to a counsellor about your feelings? Hope you get some answers at your next appointment.

Cup hope all went ok on your last day and a nice rest before you start your new role. Do you have anything planned?

Geek get yourself up for DTD and that ironic BFP

Beedle glad you are ok on the down regging, it just goes to show how different everyone is. Not long now until it all happens for you. I am brooking so hard that it all works out.

My scan is next Tuesday, so that will be the day we find out if it is one or 2 3 or 4 OMG am scared and excited already. I have a new symptom for you all to spot. I have completely lost my marbles, this happened as soon as I got my BFP. I can barely remember my own name anymore. I forget EVERYTHING including way to places I go all the time, words mid sentence and this morning I made coffee in my cereal bowl. It is going to be a long 8.5 months if this continues.

Er, 7.5 months, sweetie, but I like how you just proved your point! :)

Sweetie that nap priceless!

Geek with that sort of timing surely your BFP is in the bag

I'm feeling much better today Cups thank you, DD is lovely :):) (can't get used to putting DD and not DS)

#was not nap

doh

Cartoon well I'd read something about it on an American site about the 'actual' causes of unexplained infertility. Also, i very rarely get ill, if having a good immune system is actually a sign. Bet my fc won't go for it

Keep I'm 33. Should be hearing about my first iui very soon (hoping I'll have a letter waiting for me for when I get back from holiday)

be difficult if your clinic won't go for it kitty because you don't want conflicting info or two consultants thinking of completely different action plans.
I'm not sure if there's much in the way of symptoms for you to try and guess! all I know is that some consultants think it can cause recurrent mc or at least be a factor. may be worth getting the tests done to put your mind at rest but I'd wait see how you go with the iui first. I won't lie its very expensive if you can't get it on NHS.

my problems are going to be if the NHS consultants find some other reasons for the Mc's I won't know which is right. I'm fucked if we've got updiffed thus month and they say its a genetic problem. sometimes I wish we didn't seem to get preg so easily. but since u have no idea when it if I ovulated its just as likely that we missed it.

Sorry, been quite busy today but just wanted to respond to Kitty immune issues can be looked at for recurrent miscarriage, recurrent ivf failure and unexplained infertility. I'm at a private clinic and they recommended the immunes blood check because of the failed ivf and the fact I had an endometrioma on my ovary, they cited that it was more likely the case I would have immune issues. My results came back with elevated NK cells but cytokines were all within limits. Privately it costs about £800 to get the bloods done, they send them off to Chicago. Treatment for it is expensive, I'm going to be paying £1500 for my first lot of IVIG and if I get pregnant I may need it again during my pregnancy. A lot of clinics/consultants don't believe immunes being an issue hence not a lot of clinics offer it, there's not a lot of research out there at the moment. But there are clinics out there with great success rates that treat immunes so difficult to ignore. I've literally just received a book I've ordered about the theory and so far it's interesting. I'm trying to get myself all clued up so that we are in fact making the right decision! wish I didn't have to but hey ho

D'oh Sweetie

Thanks again Olives

Hugs Face

Fuck Fuck Fuck diffed

Face are you saying you're diffed?? Are you ok?

I flipping well am according to a slightly faint frer done this evening.

Oh love, well not sure what to say to help really, maybe make an appointment with your consultant/gp?

ill be straight on the phone in the morning, hope its not too late. af isn't actually due yet so...

cartoon I didn't start the pred until bfp so don't stress - just get back on the meds asap. I have everything crossed for you. Xx

Oh god face, congratulations! Hope the clinic sort out your meds asap. Hugs, hope you're OK.

I really want to be relaxed and happy but...... well we will see.
as I say its early, maybe by 4 days-ish. but I had started to panic knowing really I should be on my meds so decided the sooner I knew for definate the better.

Yes, much better to know early as poss, though of course then time slows down. I am brooking for you, lovely.

Face congratulations, hope you get the meds sorted out quickly

let's not get too excited, it may have all gone wrong already

We are quietly hopeful for you. Have you managed to get hold of the clinic yet?

Face I understand you can't get excited after everything you've been through. We are all brooking for you though.

Well I'm still in bed I was up late last night reading my IVF book. I've started with sore boobs, I normal get that about 4-5 days before AF so I'm thinking ill be having a longer cycle this month. I'm having a bit of a wobble due to Facebook/pregnancy announcements. A girl I used to work with who is the same age as me & got married the same year has put up a family photo. She has 3 dc and is clearly pregnant again. It really hit me as I remember her ttc her first and it caused lots of arguments between DH and I as I was so broody. Of course he wasn't ready and here we are 5 years later. I just feel really sad about it not just because I want a baby but it made me realise how much of my life this has already taken from me. I'm a very different person than I was then & I don't mean in a good way.

Right that's my self indulgent rant over with

Oh cup :( it's just not fair. The waiting, putting life on hold much as you try not to, the disappointment. But everyone has difficult things in their lives, and this is yours. As it is / was for many of us. I think I have changed too - less sociable, more jealous etc. But I also think that firstly I hope i will be a better and more appreciative mother when we finally get there, and secondly that I have more empathy for others in general. You will get there, and soon. And you are a lovely person, just in a SHITTY situation.

Thanks Keep I know I really shouldn't compare myself to others, its a pointless exercise to be honest. I guess what I'm really worried about is wasting time. It feels like this has totally changed my perspective on life. In a way I'm glad that it didn't happen straight away as I think I will now appreciate it more when if it happens. Plus I definitely have more empathy for people with regards to infertility and loss. I guess that's a change to be proud of instead of focusing on the bitterness.
