boo god I'm so rude can't believe I havent asked after booby! I'm sorry Thanks

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 11/05/2013 15:28

That's ok Cartoon you have had enough on your plate lately. Booby arrived 11 days ago, 8lb 12oz of lovely little girl :)

How are you doing? Did you manage to sort out your drip??

cartoontrickster · 11/05/2013 15:49

wonderful, what's her name? (secretly hopes it is in fact booby) Smile
I'm ok not actually that stressed at the moment I've calmed down now. I'm waiting for the nurse to call about the drip. I think it will be Monday. what will be will be

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 11/05/2013 15:58

Well booby was right near the top of the short list, but in the end we went with Kaitlyn Grin

Good luck with the drip! Will there be a special care plan in place this time?

cartoontrickster · 11/05/2013 16:07

gorgeous!
not doing anything different, well apart from taking the meds later. I'm supposed to be on some from ovulation but didn't because we weren't TTC. not sure if they would have changed by plan if I'd have gone in to see him before getting updiffed like I think your ment to Confused.
just been for afternoon tea Im so stuffed.

BlindKitty · 11/05/2013 17:23

boo that's a lovely name! I always wanted to call a little girl that and shorten it to 'kitty'

ControlGeek · 12/05/2013 10:40

scarlettwell done on your backup shag, acu and Zita Cd, I am sure gravity must be able to assist too. Brooking this is the one for you!

kitty when do you get back from holiday to find out if you've a IUI letter waiting for you? Brooking that it happens really soon for you my lovely. The waiting is horrible.

keep I still have everything crossed for MrK's job. I have no idea how recruitment for those kinds of positions works - did he have to apply for a specific job, or just submit an application into a pool then all the hospitals look through and choose who they want? It seems quite bizarre that they only recruit once a year. What if someone leaves mid way through, before the next drive? Could he maybe locum in the interim? Sorry, lots of questions there...

Boo hope K is doing well, give her a squeeze from me :)

maybe hope you are doing well, you've started the drugs now yes?

I had a fabulous afternoon with sparks yesterday, we were proper 'ladies wot lunch' but I think we scared away at least one family with our conversation Blush

Well, I think my body may have done a sneaky little stealth ov yesterday, which is rather unfortunate as MrG's back hasn't been up to much this last week. We possibly managed to get one SWI in (five days ago) but it's so far in advance of ov, and his figures are so poor that I don't think his little guys have a hope in hell of hanging around for so long. Oh well, it means AF will be arriving on a Friday, so I can call the clinic and get a Monday scan/drug collection appointment booked in.

Pleased you were 'proper ladies' yesterday Geek and Sparks Wink

Geek, I'm on a long protocol so start jabbing on day 21. Got my schedule through yesterday and rather than the 10 days of down reg, I have to do 22. Not sure why but that really upset me yesterday. Doesn't seem so bad today!

Am keeping everything crossed for that job Keep. There is a very good hospital where I live....

Am brooking for those swimmers Scarlett

How are you getting on Beedle?

When are you starting Solars?

BlindKitty · 12/05/2013 16:41

Geek back sat night, really hoping there will b something waiting for me. I have 2 lesbian friends that got pregnant with a turkey baster...might save mr g's back???? Hope you're ok x

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 13/05/2013 08:09

Maybe I missed your first post about getting your drugs. So exciting. When do you actually start then?

Scarlett well done on security shag and Chinese Grin

Sounds like you two had a lovely Brookers meet up Geek and Sparks

Well cigarette lighter gate continues in the Cups household Smile in other ttc news AF arrived this morning. I have rung the clinic and requested treatment. I need everyone to brook no argument that we will get accepted for this month.

BlindKitty · 13/05/2013 08:32

geek and sparks do you two know each other anyway or just mn buddies?

cupcakes remind me what treatment is this? Ivf? X

NoMaybeAboutIt · 13/05/2013 08:42

I'm brooking like mad for you Cups. I have my first jab on Tuesday 28th. Drugs are being delivered on Friday. I think I'm more excited about that than anything else Grin

Kitty a turkey baster you say....Wink

ScarlettInSpace · 13/05/2013 08:50

Morning brookers - I got a 2nd back up shag on Sunday morning & Nando's on Saturday night so can't have done any more!

Initial optimism has worn off now though as usual I guess we've done everything we can this month so just wait and see...

Happy Monday!

cups am brooking that this will go through without a hitch - is this the last chance they can turn you down?

kitty grrrr to turkey basters, it alwasy makes me mad that we go through all this and then some people don't even need to have Actual Sex to get diffed Smile

maybe I DR'd for what seemed like ages so I don't know what is normal...

Solars · 13/05/2013 09:07

Oooo Maybe the 28th is not long to go at all! I downregged for about 3 weeks too, but if my AF arrived just the day before I would have only have downregged for about 2 weeks, I guess it's a way for the clinic to organise itself. You're going to have a field day looking through those drugs on Friday aren't you? :)

Brooking for you Cups

How exciting for you both Sparkes & Geek meeting up!

Happy Monday to you too Scarlett, hope you've got some nice things planned for the next couple of weeks to keep away the mental.

Beedle how are you getting on?

Right judging by my last 2 cycles I'm hoping AF will arrive tomorrow or later on today so I will be good to go too. I've had lots of cramping though over the last 2 days but luckily it didn't spoil my weekend plans.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 13/05/2013 09:18

Sparks you know me too well Blush. I am definitely resting this as an experiment!

Solars I love drug information leaflets! loser

That's great news Scarlett. Think if the money you could make: 'nandos got me pregnant'.....

Interesting about the down regging. I think I just had it in my head it would be x days for this, x days for that. It's all good now. Egg collection is provisionally booked for 3rd of July. Which still seems ages away, but time is flying by of late!

ControlGeek · 13/05/2013 10:16

ooh so much happening in here at the moment! It's all rather exciting Grin

cups brooking like billy-o and accepting no argument whatsoever from the clinic, they will accept you this month. Fact.

kitty that letter will be waiting for you, no doubt about it. Hope you're having a fab holiday!

maybe good luck for your drugs delivery and imminent jabbing. Glad you are over the shock of having to DR for so long, I would be pretty miffed too. May you have many hours of fun poring over your drugs leaflets Grin

scarlett fab news on backup shag 2, and also on the nandos. Your BFP is guaranteed!

BlindKitty · 13/05/2013 10:58

maybe I know it sounds ridiculous but if I ov on plane home I'm going to ask dh to jiac and I'll follow him with the preseed applicator he's already said no but I'm working on him Wink

scarlett I know, I wondered how many times it took them but daren't ask! Maybe that's where we're going wrong?!!

sparkle that's lovely! Pmsl at cm comment. Tbh me and my dh met on a clubbing chat room. Actually spent several hours a night talking on msn before we actually met. Anyway you'll make great babysitters for each other haha!

Tbh I don't know what I'd have done without mn these last few months. If I compare myself to my friend (Who remains unconvinced about mn) I'm actually doing a 100 times better, and honestly think its down to you guys.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/05/2013 12:23

sorry been very busy at work, so I haven't had much time to be here. But its very exciting with all the imminent IVF, am brooking that that includes you cups

maybe I will be DRing for 3 weeks and having already done 2 weeks it has been fine. MrB says I was being a bit moody at the weekend (I think it was just cos he was being an arse :o )

waves to all

ScarlettInSpace · 13/05/2013 12:52

solars I'm mostly going to spend the next 2 weeks, ummmm, mentalling Grin

I have a big girly piss up planned for the bank holiday [OTD technically is week on Friday I guess but I think I'll know if AF is circling before then] though which will be perfect for drowing my sorrows if necessary...

Anyone want some mad crazy early symptoms? I have funny stabby pains in my lower tummy area. Have had a headache for 3 days since trigger shot, what a coincidence, not Oh and an old shoulder injury has randomly started to ache like hell today, right up into my neck Confused

I read on a reliable site twoweekwait.com that hunger is a sign in the first few days. I can report I am hungry.

ControlGeek · 13/05/2013 14:11

kitty maybe try for a more 'standard' pre-flight SWI if you think there's a risk of ov on flight-day? Wink

beedle deffo him being an arse. Men always think we are being moody when in fact they are in the wrong. Well done on getting two weeks into your DR with little or no side effects.

scarlett oooh big girly pissup - that's a guarantee for a BFP if ever I saw one. I love your crazy early symptom list and am addicted to twoweekwait.com I am 2DPO and am also incredibly hungry. In fact, I may have to have a packet of cheese and onion squares!

ControlGeek · 13/05/2013 14:14

scarlett meant to ask in my last post, are you testing out your trigger?
