The Elderberry Pavlovas, sausage bouquets, one giant sofa and the Gü pots of destiny! (thread 9)

[Bunnygirlie]

Come on ladies, this is the one! Time for some BFPs!

The smallprint- Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers)

Evening berries
Congrats to all those with BFP's - it's brought me out of my lurking torpor to say well done!
Told you HSG/hycosy wasn't too bad - weird seeing it on the screen though hey goosey
Overhear - weird cycles, no opk yet and o er a week later than usual. Last cycle opk day 15, AF day 17.... Don't know if it's thyroxine or what. Good news is that tsh is nearly low enough for treatment - finally. Lost count of what cycle this is now... 25+ will go back to pity sofa to lurk.

Right ladies.
All the moving house business is done, masses of decorating to do though.

So, what news? Is everyone updiffed?

Hey, still lurking too! just in from seeing Iron Man 3 at the flicks, was actually pretty good and quite funny (have not seen the previous 2).
The month we were luck we really did DTD at least once a day for 3 staight weeks, not sure if it was that and/or B6 as i didn't ovulate till day 21-22. Keep at it. Really hoping this berry is a sticky stick. Had tiny bit of pink when I wiped today for first time
Oh and we got the bfp just after we had decided that life goes on and we must make plans - so we decoded on dates for our holiday to Oz and Thialand for a month in august. Typical.
Hope you feeling better soon bunny, maybe in the morning?

hi pip. not everyone is diffed but we got a couple more... we're on a roll... I hope.

Christ foody you deserve a BFP for dtd every day for 3 weeks!

cate tx for your advice. Don't know anything about mindfulness but maybe one of the others can help. bif it helps with de-stressing I'm interested in knowing more. What does it involve?

yorkie I 'usually' (as cycles seem to have settled down recently and become more predictable) ovulate any time from day 19 to 22, then AF comes 8 days later.

Hi pip hope you're all happy in the new house, have some housewarming s. When does your IVF start?

foody are you not still going on holiday in August? We're off to California for a month but put off booking flights until February as I'd calculated how pg I would potentially be if we got a bfp and made sure I'd be no more than 6 months gone when flying back as even with twins you can fly with no extra medical certificate until that point.

Ha ha. Flights were more expensive as we'd waited to book 'just in case'. No sods law bfp for me after we booked them .

barking tbh I've never heard anyone else say that so I wouldn't worry. I did wonder whether she was actually telling the truth.

frog hopefully the days before ov will catch me this month as think I'll b flying back on ov day!!!! unless I can convince dh to jiac on plane which is highly unlikely

Lovely wake up call from AF at 05:30 this morning
Here we go again - cycle 10 (how the hell did that happen!?!)

Great to see you back Pip and glad the move went well. Any news on the IVF?

Hmph. Temp dropped again. No cross hairs. cd24. Wtf is going on? I just want to get to the next cycle so I can book my hsg, why did I have to get AF early last time and just miss being able to book it then?!
Bring on the clomid. My cycles are now officially 'doing my head in' (revealing my mancuniun routes there as DP would say).
On the bright side I got my appointment through for next fc visit and dildoscan!!!! - 19th June . Earlier than I dared hope, and just after my 34th birthday which is a little depressing when I consider I started ttc when I was 32 and really believed I would be a mum by 34. Still could happen at 34 though!!!

eh?! Mancunian roots
I should go back to bed....

Bunny sorry to hear you're ill. If you manage dtd through snottiness and DH being 'too tired and busy' then all respect to you, I think I'd crawl under the duvet - but then again that could be why things have moved so slowly in the goose household, so take other more lively Berries advice! I think the leaflet with Clearblue says that if you have more than one (or more than two?) positives in a row to mention that to your doctor. Basically of course they say that with anything not absolutely regular to cover themselves.

Hi Barking cross posting with you - sorry about the low temp. You've just O'd and then started high temps this cycle haven't you? When you say no crosshairs - I am confused about this - what type of test is that on?

Boodle if you check in before HSG today - good luck, hope you get a less comedy medical team than me (though it did keep me entertained ) - and it really isn't that bad. Got a wee bit crampy afterward, but nothing a Paracetamol didn't deal with.

I've not pimped properly this cycle due to O probably happening over the wkd when I was staying in youth hostel style accommodation with 20 people and not wanting to hog a toilet as it was also the shower!
Previous to this cycle and the last though I've always had temps clear enough to see it has definitely happened, even if on a couple of cycles I didn't agree with ff when it had. The crosshairs are what fertility friend puts on your chart to show Ov.

someone's already explained that to me - I keep thinking it's the cross that appears on pee tests that have a horizontal and vertical line! (I chart on paper.) As you say, it will feel good just to get on to next cycle and have the hsg done - Im just pleased things are moving now. I haven't had a dildocam - do you know what its for?

cate I subscribe to Psychologies magazine & they are always advocating mindfulness in it. I think it is just being aware of & appreciating the things around you & slowing down to take time to do that. Eg sit & savour a cup of coffee in a cute coffee shop rather than being on mums net at the same time, observe nature etc. sure there is more to it than that though!!

Morning! A miserable wet one here!

No more shags so probably missed the egg, if there is one of course! Seeing as +OPKs don't mean definite ovulation we'll see what Monday's blood test shows I guess

Thanks for the illness sympathy, I do feel like crap so i don't exactly wanna dtd either! DH v stressed with work, he is a manager so has staff reviews and had to sack somebody yesterday so I'm not surprised his mojo has left the building! I just hope he gets his act together and sorts out his third jizz test, hopefully this one will actually show something, he has been advised to abstain for 5-10 days

Happy new home pip

It's an ultrasound scan but from the inside so they can get closer and have a good look to see if there are any cysts or polyps etc that might be causing problems. The hsg checks the inside of the tubes and the scan checks the outside. That's my simplified understanding anyway, I'm sure someone else can give you a more scientific account!
Where I am they do both these checks before you see the consultant presumably so s/he can diagnose if relevant and knows whether clomid is worth trying. The nurse at the fc said they pretty much give it to everyone as a first step but if your tubes are all blocked I guess they wouldn't bother?

Wet here too Bunny, I'm delaying the dog walk as I'm not in work today!

Thanks for the low down barking - wonder why they didnt send me for one - I did have an ultrasound but not from inside.

Foody I dont know about spotting while pg - is it quite common? Hope it is and you havent got anything to be concerned about. How many DPO are you?

barking we are still going, will be within the weeks they let you fly.
Just hope I am less of a nervous wreck by then!
bunny sorry you still feeling poo. that must be really hard on your DH.
O and have heard good things about mindfulness, but don't know much about it. Tell us more when you find out Cate!
Feeling really fuzzy today, had funny sleeps and cant seem to quite wake up properly.
Bit of essay to do, then out for lunch with my sisters, mmm

Hope you feel better soon bunny.

Was talking to instadiffer colleague today & she is due about 21 Dec so almost guaranteed to ruin her Xmas. Ha. No sympathy from me for instadiffing.
