Actually I'm really impressed that the days I booked as holiday from work about a month ago have turned out to be exactly the right days Shock
MrB has a date with jar at 9am on Monday, you may direct some brooking vibes towards him as he's really not looking forward to it.

Oh and is it bad that I started writing the message to tell you lot about the time for EC before I sent MrB a text to tell him Blush :o

ControlGeek · 31/05/2013 13:08

Mwahaha beedle that is so funny about messaging here first! Sounds like fate it bringing everything together for you at just the perfect time. Brooking for MrB, and I am sure MrG would send brooking thoughts his way also if I told him as he's really struggling with having his date with the pot at my EC. In MrG's words, 'my boys don't like the pot Sad'

Right, I have booked myself a bikini wax for 12 days after EC, ie the day that AF would be due if I wasn't injecting myself silly, and will shortly be pumping myself full of bum bullets. (Not intentially by the way, that's just the way the dates worked out)

Thank you everyone I am now PUPO with 3(!!) on board. It was really hard to decide, as this morning both DH and I were saying 2. DH unfortunately couldn't come with me. When I got there the consultant recommended 3, 1 was at 8 cells above average, 1 at 7 cells average and the rest below average with 3 at 5 cells and 1 at 2 cells. She said given my age, endo length of time we'd been trying that 3 would give us the best option and chance of triplets is less than 1%, so having also spoken to DH on the phone we went with 3!!!! Now the dreaded wait, but for now I feel calm and feel that we've given ourselves the best possible chance.

Beedle excellent news on EC on Monday, sounds like timing has worked out perfectly for you.

Geek lovely you will be ok promise. The hormones are also taking effect too.

Solars congratulations that it all went well. You have to go with what the consultant recommend. that is what you are paying for. I hope the dreaded 2ww wizzes past for you. do you have any plans apart from sitting with your feet up?

ControlGeek · 31/05/2013 13:48

ooooh solars!!!! That is scary brilliant! Less than 1% is a fair risk to take, and it does give you the very best possible chance of success. The division rate sounds fantastic, too. How does that compare with your last cycle?

I have beens scouring car number plates looking for my BFP. The nearest I have been able to get is B... ZNP - not quite the message from fate that beedle got, but heck I'm taking what I can get Grin

ControlGeek · 31/05/2013 13:53

PS what's PUPO? Not come across that one before...

cartoontrickster · 31/05/2013 13:57

pregnant until proven otherwise yay! brilliant news.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 31/05/2013 13:59

ooh solars 3 congratulations on being PUPO you do realise we'll be making jokes about sextuplets now I'm brooking my socks off that one or more of them stick. Hope you can rest without stressing about it all for the next 2 weeks, and if you can, can you tell me how to do when its my turn next week?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 31/05/2013 14:01

think there should have been a comma in there between 3 and congratulations. You are not limited to 3 congratulations :o

Solars · 31/05/2013 14:02

Sweetie I've not got a whole lot planned unfortunately, I have to go in for a blood test on Sunday as they want to check progesterone levels are doing ok. I've got a bit work which has piled up so will tackle that next week. But I think I'll be reading, cooking, baking and tv watching I think. hopefully not too much googling However I am on a whole new regime of drugs now to be taken throughout the day which I am sure is going to keep me busy in remembering them all!

Geek compared to last time we got 3 eggs, I think it was a 2 or 3 day transfer and I think it was a 3/4 cell embryo, the other 2 had already dwindled by then. So this time was 100 times better than that.

Beedle lovely you will be fine I too have been looking out for BFP number plates

OP posts:
BeedlesPineNeedles · 31/05/2013 14:03

geek sorry you haven't found a BFP numberplate - I can't believe you've been looking out for one though :o I'm sure yours is waiting to appear on one of your many sticks.

GreenOlives · 31/05/2013 14:13

You dropped off my TIO whilst I was on my holibobs! What's been going on ladies? You chat too much for me to attempt catching up properly on the last 2 weeks! Grin

ControlGeek · 31/05/2013 14:20

thanks cartoon Grin

solars wow, that is a staggering improvement since your last cycle. How are you feeling? I'm glad I'm not the only one searching for a BFP on the front of a car hehehe Good luck for your daily drug intake, I hope they treat you kindly.

beedle good point - I stocked up with a couple of extra twinpacks at the weekend, too Grin I now have more than enough to do one a day from the day after trigger only half kidding Place your bets as to which one will give me my BFP!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 31/05/2013 14:26

olives if you go back a few pages geek did a fabulous catch up of where we all are/were then - I'm sure she'll do you an update after her scan which should be happening about now. Did you have a good holiday? was it your big boy on FB with the war wound? If so, I hope he's feeling better

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 31/05/2013 14:56

Well done Solars PUPO indeed!

Geek how did your scan go?

Beedle I can't believe your holiday has worked out like that. Very lucky indeed Smile

Green I saw the pics of your poor boy from holiday. Hope he is feeling better.

I will try to do a round up for you but I'm no Geek Grin
