Taking No Nonsense and Brooking No Argument We Get Our BFP's, with or without assistance!

[Solars]

So who's next in line for that BFP???

I'm still brooking for you too Geek x

Thanks Solars and Musical. Fingers crossed I get some eggs and the sperm don't mind coming out the freezer

Oh geek I am still brooking like mad for otd! Don't give up yet lovely. x

just to say that I still had cramps moodyness etc like I normally do when af is coming even after I got my (early) bfp and was convinced that I was going to be caught by af and was cursing myself for testing early.
geek don't give up hope yet.

Nothing useful or interesting to say today other than I am still brooking hard for geek and solars. This ttc lark is TRYING, I'll say that x

Oh geek, I'm so sorry, but like the others, I will be brooking for OTD.

Maybe, fab scan news!

Thanks Gen! Hope all is good with you.

How are you doing today Geek?

Just checking in to see how Geek is
Brooking hard

Thinking of you Geek hope you're doing ok x

Thinking of you too Beedle and still holding out for tomorrow x

Maybe are you ready for your stimming stabs tonight?

Cups how are you doing? Is work keeping you busy?

I think so Solars. I feel a little overwhelmed today. And I'm absolutely shattered. I didn't think the treatment would take as much of a physical toll on me as it has.

How are you feeling? Have you got a date for your scan yet?!

It can be very tiring, rest as much as you can. I'm feeling ok, just taking one day at a time. I'm in again for bloods tomorrow. No scan date yet but hoping it will be towards the end of next week sometime.

Ah, hope the bloods are all good tomorrow. I know I shoud be resting, but I'm struggling with it. I feel if I don't achieve a 10k run, 6k walk with the dog and all household chores then I am being useless. I know that probably doesn't make much sense, but I don't feel I have any control and I'm beating myself up a bit over it

Yes I know what you mean about losing control especially when you are doing ivf, you are at the mercy of the clinic so get why you need to have to do the other things. But you also need to look at it as giving it your best shot and if that means 'slacking' on some of the other things then so be it. I didn't totally slack as I also felt like I needed to be in control of some things. But do take some 'me' time to relax. I used the relaxation cd's which helped me.

Thanks Solars, you are very wise . It's a funny old process, but youre right, you need to give it the best chance.

Can I ask you what your clinic said about protein? Mine have said I need a high protein diet, especially due to my high OHSS risk, but when I asked them yesterday how much protein, they couldn't really say! I have already been having a glass of milk and 2 eggs most days. I just want o know what I could be putting in to get the best eggs!

They didn't give us a specific weight of protein but they definitely said at least 1 litre of milk per day which I think is the minimum, which I reckon is about 28-36g. I was having on top of that eggs every couple of days, loads of chicken vitually everyday, i was running out of creative recipies by the end of it and also avocados and nuts.

A lot ladies were also drinking protein shakes and having protein balls too but I didn't go for those.

Thanks Solars. I love avocados, so that'll do me! MrM bought me the new Rick Stein book the other day, so I am armed with lots of exciting recipes

Oooo is that from his new series on tv? I haven't watched it yet, looks good though.

I think I read 60g a day. I had protein powder in milk as I don't think I was getting enough otherwise. Good luck, I think its easier and faster once you start stimming.

It is indeed! A beautiful book and an amazing first program! I've already made a lamb, cardamom and love curry, pilau rice and chapatis!

Love curry I meant clove!

Thanks Keep. They've got me down for 12 days of stimms, so hopefully will fly by!

Hmmmm I think I may be getting that book too then :)

You know you want to

Ooh that sounds delicious!! Do you still bake lots too maybe?

I really do now Maybe I have his Far Eastern Odyssey which I really love!
