Come and join us elderly TTCers on the Sofa of Pity (SoP), Rug of Rage (RoR), the Pouffe of Possibility (PoP) or the Chaise Lounge of Limbo (CLoL) whilst trying to avoid the BubbleBath of Gloom(BoG)!

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Oooh and dh texted earlier to say he's coming home from glasto tonight instead of tomorrow! Grin really fancy a cuddle but he'll stink to high heaven and it'll be too late for a shower! Maybe he'll have to sleep in the spare bed tonight...

barkingtreefrog · 30/06/2013 22:18

Thanks bunny, blind cats and boom, It'll be interesting to see in the morning how painful it is to move!!

Night all!

Bunnygirlie · 30/06/2013 22:28

bunny weird stalkerish reply to your q but short surges are common... Loads of people think OPKs don't work for them as they only test once a day and they miss their surge

JuicySausage · 30/06/2013 22:45

I found you! Hiya slappers! It's me, Viv/GailPlattsChin etc etc. Do you mind if I share my amazing news? I'M PREGNANT!!

We flew to the Czech Republic for donor egg IVF and came home with two 5-day AA hatching blastocysts on board. Got my BFP eight days post-transfer and I have my blood test tomorrow and an early scan in a couple of weeks to check for twins. We are over-the-moon!

We are so grateful to our (anonymous) donor. She is 24 and an Economics graduate with brown hair and eyes like me and t'other half.

I'm going to be a mum!

Wishing you all the very, very best. I do miss y'all, you know...

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/06/2013 23:12

juicy I think you have stumbled on the wrong thread. I have no idea who you are Wink

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/06/2013 23:12

(Its like a weird reunion round here tonight!)

Boomgoestheweasel · 01/07/2013 00:04

juicy unlike merk I really don't think we've crossed cyber-paths, but that is fantastic news! I'm so pleased for you, and I'm counting this as a win for the berries because we really need one!

Wishing you a wonderful, easy pregnancy! xxx

JuicySausage · 01/07/2013 07:36

AngelaMerkel, we met at the G8 summit, remember??

Aw, fanks, Boom. It certainly is a win for the berries because I was here for a while but kept getting kicked off for being not-drunk and disorderly.

Thundercatsarego · 01/07/2013 07:49

Mawnin all.

Watcha juicy and massive congratulations! Really really hoping you have a sticky and healthy pregnancy.

Hello merk, how are you doing? Are you feeling a bit brighter?

blind glad you had a good time. Were you at glasto?

I'm still on the YBR here. I've packed away the jenga and reassembled it. DP going away for work now so the dtd marathon was short but twice in one day IS amazing for us fingers crossed it was enough.

boom what's the decision about the pup then? You need to do some springer shopping instead?

Boomgoestheweasel · 01/07/2013 08:38

Moooooorning!

thunder yes def, although I'm quite taken with the lab x springer idea! Good effort on the boinking Grin

Just getting ready to go to the clinic. Wish me luck berries! x

Thundercatsarego · 01/07/2013 08:54

Grin boinking

Good luck good luck! We want to hear all about it.

Aquarius1 · 01/07/2013 09:54

Grin Yay Viv ! Not sure whether to congratulate you more for your millionth reincarnation on MN or for the BFP! Wink

SidneyBristow · 01/07/2013 11:05

Good luck boom! We're rooting for you.

Congrats viv that is so exciting! I've wondered what you've been up to - sounds like you've been v v busy!

cherry so sorry to hear your news. you've had a lot to deal with these last few months. I hope your DH & your doctors are taking good care of you Thanks

Nothing remarkable to report here at Casa Bristow. AF is taking her leave and I'm ordering yet another box of CBFM sticks. Ho hum.

Bunnygirlie · 01/07/2013 13:40

Hello!

Professor Merk here's a weird one for you, got another +opk today! (and please don't be a stranger or a stalker Wink)

juicy we've missed you crazy lady! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy, keep us posted if you can!

thunder twice in a day!!! Crikey that would kill us lol

Cd14 here so gonna try and fit in another boink before I head into the 2ww, although I don't hold out much hope with the lurgy! If my eggs are anything like me then they will be slow and fuzzy this week!!!

Boomgoestheweasel · 01/07/2013 14:18

Afternoons!

Guess who's got a box of SWEETIES???

Grin Grin Grin Grin

I'm so chuffed. 3 cycles' worth of 50mg clomid, and progesterone to bring on AF if my cycles still go over 40 days without a BFP. Took a bit of a battle to get it, consultant wasn't there again so started off badly with junior doctor who didn't have a clue and tried to order a day 21 blood test despite 60 day cycle but eventually insisted on seeing senior doctor who pretty quickly caved in when she saw my psycho-lady folder and list of questions.

Trying very hard not to get over-excited but I feel like I've hit the jackpot. I know it might not work but at least I've got a bit of hope back after months of waiting. Got another appt booked for November if it doesn't work, to get my dosage upped.

Now to get Mr Boom back from Spain and get started on a shag marathon!

Happy days Grin

Bunnygirlie · 01/07/2013 14:26

boom Yay how exciting for you!!! Remind me, how long you been trying? Keeping everything crossed for you! x

Foodylicious · 01/07/2013 14:32

Super-cool boom!! so glad you were able to assertive and get what you need!! Grin fx very tightly.

barking well done on the run. thats pretty amazing!!!

happy boinking bunny Wink

Boomgoestheweasel · 01/07/2013 14:40

Thanks guys. Can't wipe the Grin off my face.

Been trying about 14 months bunny, so not as long as some but it certainly feels long enough!

Thundercatsarego · 01/07/2013 14:49

boom! Fab-ul-ous!! That's fantastic news- really pleased for you and bloody well done on insisting on seeing the senior guy and getting some results.

I know you're going to sausage wang me for being useless with remembering anything but had they found that you had probs with ovulation?

Oh yeah I meant to say barking massive congratulations on the run. You are a MACHINE!!

Hey sid, I know what you mean with the ho hum. I always feel like that at the start of each new cycle. I find myself totally ridiculous that I have any hope left in me, but yet again here I am hoping that we've got it right this time. Like an idiot.

bunny good luck with the flu boink. I knew you would appreciate my double dtd day as we've both been in the same boat in the past with the dtd issues eh.

CatsCantFlyFast · 01/07/2013 16:02

bunny are they cheapy amazon special OPKs? Non relevant, just wondered. Anyway, LH surge can take up to 48 hours to peak. So if you hadn't double tested yesterday you would have got it today and thought nothing of it. 2 days of peak is common, as the LH continues to rise but can be enough to give a +ive on a OPK. So you will O in the next 24 to 48 hours ish meaning today and tomorrow are you best chance

CatsCantFlyFast · 01/07/2013 16:05

And apologies to all for lurking/disappearing. I come back with my mind all made up that it will happen 'this month' and then we don't have sex at the right time for one reason or another and I don't want to stick around moaning at you all. However this month is the first time in ages we've got it together at the right time! So will be back to bore you all with tales of my pee sticks. As an experiment am planning on continuing with OPKs after O to see what happens my life is so boring

Bunnygirlie · 01/07/2013 16:25

boom we're on month 14 too, how come you got sweeties already?

thunder glad your DTD issues are behind you, we are ok as long as we don't hang about if you know what I mean

Merk good to have you back and thanks for your advice, DH out tonight so it's either jump on him when he gets back from work or before work tomorrow! And yes they are cheapy sticks!

happylass · 01/07/2013 16:33

Great news on the sweeties Boom. Think I need to get myself a psycho lady folder for my GPs appointment next week. Going to sort out all the tests I need that they've neglected to do. Also going to ring the hospital to see if they'll accept 2 non consecutive cd21 tests.
Welcome back Merk - great to see you.

Thundercatsarego · 01/07/2013 17:05

Merk I really understand about finding it hard to post when things haven't been going right with the ttc. Sometimes I feel like all I do is moan. I wonder if I should NC to thundereeyore....

Surely the weird thing with bunny's positive opk is the fact she got +ive yesterday morning and this morning but not last night? Must have been dilute wee or something I reckon. Presumably you count yesterday's as your surge warning so O should happen within 48 hours of yesterday? So get to it I reckon!

happy they bloody should accept the cock up that is your gps tests the non consecutive tests. Good luck with the call and let us know what they say.
