The Elderberry Pavlovas: sit on the sofa of hopefulness and make yourself a special omelette while prescribing the vomming cat to those that deserve it and observing the lunching of the tactless.

It's time for some more grads!!

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

[Tallyra]

um, bags not nags....

[sconeoclock]

tally will they not monitor you quite closely next time given your history?

I'm on South Coast, would be happy to trial a few of your bags in the tea room gift shop if you want?

[Tallyra]

Aww, amazing scone, thank you! I'm in Kent, so maybe it would work...
Yes, they hopefully would but they are ridiculously crap at this - the last time, I asked for an 8/9 week scan, and despite having been hospitalised the previous week, they still told me they 'don't do reassurance scans' at the EPU, and I had to get hold of my consultant from when I was admitted to get anything. And she promptly told me the bad news and got me booked in for an erpc. again. for the third time

[Tallyra]

I'd have to get making... I've only got the one I made for myself the other week at the moment, I keep giving stuff away!

[sconeoclock]

Fix when you see the fc they will make sure you get monitored properly next time, or find something easily fixable.

Can you put a pic of one on here? You'd need to work out how much you would want to sell therm for and then I can see if we can add a reasonable mark up on top and still sell them.

[sconeoclock]

*fx

[Tallyra]

I've posted a couple on my profile...

[BlindKitty]

barking what dose of b6 did you take? Might suggest this to my friend.
Oh and checking ff is prob the first thing I'd do!!!

tally I'd be annoyed re dinner (as I regularly am when I give the mist basic of instructions and find dh is playing on his computer!). It annoys me as I always have dinner ready the moment he walks through the door otherwise!

In my news, opk'd today and can see a faint line, which will mean I will prob have a positive tomorrow... Effing great seeing as I'll be flying home tomorrow! Looks like dh will have to jiac after all..,,

[barkingtreefrog]

50mg I think kitty.

Been wide awake since 5am for no apparent reason. Didn't temp as was expecting to fall asleep again and wake at usual time. Now I'm lying in bed obsessively going over past charts on ff and half wanting to pimp again, half not wanting to get out of bed and find AF has arrived. But on the other hand I do because I could then book the hsg, and for there to be any chance this cycle DP's swimmers would have had to set up camp and wait around a long time for the egg!!!

[sconeoclock]

tally have sent you a pm

kitty are you going to have a mile high omelette?! Could take some explaining to customs!!

barking any news on AF?

[GooseyD]

Barking, get out of bed and tell us whether you've made it to day 11dpo!! Just exactly how long would DP's swimmers have to have been sitting around to make a BFP possible? You're taking 50mg a day B6? Is it B6 Complex or just straight B6. Maybe I was overdoing it - I'd read to take 200mg, though I did build it up slowly.

Delayed double-take, didn't Pip appear briefly towards end of last thread but no news on her IVF appointment? Or did I miss a page? Pip, how did it go??

[barkingtreefrog]

Still no AF but another BFN. Now on 11dpo, this has not happened since I started charting 12 cycles ago!!! Swimmers would have been waiting 6 days for the egg shuffle, and DP is not good at waiting around doing nothing so can't imagine his swimmers sat there for that long!!!

This is now getting quite frustrating!! Not even got cramps now or any other sign it's coming (other than a few spots).

[barkingtreefrog]

Oh, and straight b6 goosey but only for the first half of the cycle as then I got fed up and lost all hope and hadn't dtd anyway so didn't see the point.

[BlindKitty]

barking do think you should poas but I'm still going to suggest it to my friend.

scone I've already thought of that!!! Although dh is insisting he won't, I'm still going to try to make him jiac on plane, I'll then go I. Afterwards with my preseed applicator - simples! and a bit crazy

[barkingtreefrog]

kitty I have!! well, pimped anyway Twice!! bfn...

[sconeoclock]

kitty will certainly be a great story to tell the grandchildren one day!
Just make sure to DTD as much as you can before you leave in case dh gets flight nerves lol

barking 6 days is not impossible, could only be 5 depending on what time of the day you ovulated...

Fx you get as or bfp soon, 11dpo is still quite early...

[barkingtreefrog]

If you get a + tomorrow kitty (is that today now?) won't that mean O will be the next day? So if you dtd today and when you get back home you are more than covered?

[GooseyD]

barking i was so in suspense i had to log on when arrived work. wow, what is going on? whichever way its got to be good news right?

kitty sounds like Barking could be right thst dtd either side of flight shouldnt be a disaster, BUT where's the hsrm in an extra if dh persuadable?! good luck!

[BlindKitty]

Haha he'll never agree anyway! He gets stage fright! He keeps shutting all the blinds in our villa just to have a wee!

Plan is to squeeze as much sun as we can out if the hol (or vit d purposes beach bod tan, go for a massage and get my body all relaxed and then bd the hell out of dh

[barkingtreefrog]

AF just landed. So an LP of 10 days. Not mind blowing but an improvement, will persevere a bit longer with the vit b6. Off to call the hospital to book my hsg.

[Thundercatsarego]

Nice one barking! Shame it's not a bfp obviously but nice lp improvement girl!

[barkingtreefrog]

Not managing to see the happy side just yet, had let myself get my hopes up . Just cried on DP as soon as he walked through the door.
HSG booked for next Thursday morning when I have a meeting with an outside professional and a parent about a child at school. Bloody awful timing but the only appointment they could give me without waiting another cycle. Don't know what to tell school.
Supposed to be out for a mate's birthday tonight but feeling a long way from a party mood and keep crying. Need to pull myself together.

[Thundercatsarego]

Oh pants. Sorry you're feeling blue, barking. It really is a food thing that your lp has got longer but it's a right kick in the teeth when you'd got your hopes up. Can I suggest a large ? I'll join you with that....

[GooseyD]

Hi Barking, hi Thunder

Barking sorry you're feeling rubbish. AF hormones and the disappointment when you've got your hopes up are just the worst inevitable mixture. Not surprised you're not so rosy today - but just think, 3 days ago a 10 day LP was the stuff of dreams. If that stays sorted that could just be your only barrier out the way. Fingers so crossed for you thay thats the case.

I would love to join you ladies in a - its middle off my rather pathetic less than 1ww - do you guys drink post O? I keep changing my mind.

[Thundercatsarego]

Hi goosey,

I drink all the bloody time throughout the 2ww. I had a rather boozy weekend before getting my bfp last time and for me, cutting out a few drinks would be a step too far towards letting ttc TOTALLY take over my life. Joking aside, I have cut down loads in general, but the fact that bfp af is due in the next couple of days doesn't stop me having a drink now. It's when I need it most! I know others will disagree- just personal for me and it may well change in time.

How are the wedding plans progressing?
