I'm going to spend sometime reading back and hopefully post properly in abit its been moving so fast here I can't keep up.
dunno if anyone remembers me moaning ages ago about work. I work with my family and as soon as me and dh were pregnant first time my maternity leave replacement was hired very quickly. it always bothered me a little (even though she's lovely) as it just served as a reminder of what I'd lost and ment that most of my day I had nothing to do. too much time to think and mental at work is not good. it was like this for just over a year. anyway she got a new job and finished on Friday. so I have my old job backGrin . so I am now busy all day! I like it but its rather inconvenient for keeping up with mn!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 12/06/2013 19:06

Hmm might have been a bit off the mark suggesting Ray Blush but yes to sunny or sunbeam!!

So pleased for you Solars

cartoontrickster · 12/06/2013 19:30

I vote sunbeam! hope your having a lovely evening with dh now solars
my bean still doesn't have a nickname feel free to make any suggestions!
I get to start weaning off my steroids on Sat when I'm 9wks. I'm on bum candles till 16weeks though, grim about the fanjo gunk btw I couldn't bring myself to click the blog link. ill also have 2 more intralipids.
cups sounds like you did really well today. brooking for you.
geek sorry about the percys, not nice..
I love that weve had so many visitors lately its lovely when we're all together. but I can't think if I remember biscuits or not Blush

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 12/06/2013 19:57

Solars I hope you are busy celebrating with DH now. I bet he is over the moon Smile

I'm jealous of the spinach lasagne. I've never tried it but I love spinach and I love lasagne so I'm sure I would be a fan. We are having stir fry for tea.

Lovely name suggestions, I really like sunbeam. Trix how about Treats for your little one? I can't think of anything to do with cartoons.

Biscuitsandtea · 12/06/2013 19:58

Cartoon I think I remember you but I may have been a grad or post grad when you joined the brookers? Can't remember when you appeared? I found the brookers about 2 years ago now, having been TTC baby no 2 for about 18 mths at that time. The power of brooking worked wonders and I got a BFP the first month I was brooking. That BFP is now my DS2 who is 15 mths now so it was a while ago that I was knocking around. More recently I could be found on the ante natal and post natal threads Smile

I sort of fell off the map at Christmas (nothing bad in rl for those wondering, it was a MN / FB / outing issue - happy to explain in a PM to anyone wondering. Can't remember who asked me earlier today so sorry I've not responded, I can't pm v easily from my phone Blush)

So anyway, I think I remember you but you may well not remember me as I was probably just whizzing in and out periodically. So, lovely to meet you in conclusion Grin

cartoontrickster · 12/06/2013 20:15

biscuits I'm pretty sure I remember you. but I think we only met briefly maybe... I've been a broker just over a year now. are you TTC again or just couldn't bear to be parted from us any longer Grin .
ooo I like treats cups

Biscuitsandtea · 12/06/2013 20:21

Not TTC Cartoon just missed y'all Grin

cartoontrickster · 12/06/2013 20:32

ah bless you!Smile

This is bloody fantastic news solars The brookers are on a roll now - this thread will soon be empty!! Grin Grin So, so happy for you Grin
beedles I so hope my test makes you the next diffed brooker! Grin
So lovely to see you too biscuits - please tell me why you left? Smile

DinoSnores · 12/06/2013 23:01

solars, what wonderful news!!! Just delighted for you!

ControlGeek · 13/06/2013 09:28

Morning brookers!

Solars, how are you feeling this morning?

Quick update on the science experiment, I think the tests are finally clear - 9 days after taking the trigger. Definitely longer than I'd expected, given the dose. Even up to yesterday the ic lines were clearly there, but the morrisons one was a struggle to see.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/06/2013 09:49

So will you continue testing geek or wait until OTD?

Biscuitsandtea · 13/06/2013 09:54

What was the experiment Geek? Just to see how long the bfps came after the trigger shot?

And is OTD official testing day? That's next week right?

How are you today Solars xx

keepitgoing · 13/06/2013 09:56

Morning pregnant solars! :) did you have a good celebration?

sparks please tell us you were so busy sneezing you couldn't get here earlier...

keepitgoing · 13/06/2013 09:57

geek I think 9/10 days is normal. The next one you see will be real!!

keepitgoing · 13/06/2013 09:58

Biscuits you could just change your name and come back incognito but not to us

BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/06/2013 10:02

we could help you change your name biscuits we're good at thinking up new names [evil smiley] :o

SweetieTime · 13/06/2013 11:57

just popping in to see how the new preggo is doing? So has it sunk in yet solars ? what was DHs reaction?
you are so brave going through all that on your own yesterday

ControlGeek · 13/06/2013 12:14

biscuits yes, I was testing out my trigger so I didn't get my hopes up with any false positives. The experiment was partly how long it would take, partly how the ICs performed next to the more expensive Morrisons' own sticks. The ICs actually performed better!

beedle I'll probably keep on testing, since I still have a gazillion and one crappy Morrisons sticks to get rid of. I don't want them hanging around after this cycle, there is no way they warrant the name 'posh stick'!

I don't think I can face today. The cats have left me a maggot-ridden blackbird outside the back door and I can't bring myself to deal with it just yet.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/06/2013 12:15

sweetie have you got a scan soon?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 13/06/2013 12:21

though geek if the morrison's tests are a but rubbish won't they take longer to show your BFP?
I think that as you are officially PUPO you couldn't possibly deal with dead blackbirds, leave it until MrGeek gets home :o

I'm fed up of the 2ww now, I just want to know, even if it is bad news.

SweetieTime · 13/06/2013 12:33

Beedle I was exactly the same in my 2ww. I just wanted to know either way. I found it the slowest time ever. how much longer until you can test?

geek I wouldn't rush to move it either. You have to be really careful of germs and stuff. I am sure it will still be there when DH gets home.

My scan is Monday afternoon. I will be 11+6 so it will be the nt screening scan. I have already given my blood so we get the full results there and then. I am already quite nervous of what they will find. But as always just taking things a step at a time. Will let you know how we get on.
