Thanks Penguin. We can hand hold as we piss on sticks Grin

Thanks lovely Olives Grin. How are you? I'm not sure how I'm going to wait either. I feel quite strange today. Very detached from everything.

Does anyone remember the film Navigator? (Think that's what it's called) where they shrunk down the the scientist and injected into the body? I bed one of those so I can see what's occurring!

Boo to rubbish GPs Musical. Definitely change. We get mini health checks here too. Our surgery is hit and miss. There are some fantastic GPs and some awful ones. Like the one who did MrMaybe sperm analysis and said it was low. The print out said zero! I mean really.... Shock

Right. I should get my arse into gear and get this pup walked. It's so hot that he needs his massive walk early!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 09:03

Maybe I loved that film cos I'm a geek, it would be awesome if we could pop down and check if emby was getting nice and settled in there! I can imagine it all feels a bit strange knowing you have a top grade blasto getting comfy inside! Hope your having a nice walk with Otis, it's roasting here. Luckily DH has already taken our pup for a nice long run. She is collapsed under our dining table as I think it's the coolest place in the house. Have you got anything nice planned for the rest of the day?

Lovely to see all the old Brookers, I hope AF returns for you guys waiting. If anyone is still waiting in about 4 weeks you are welcome to take her for me! Musical I also had to change GP as when I went initially for subfertility investigations my then GP did two blood tests then refused to do any investigations like a SA or HSG as "it won't help you get pregnant and it's a waste of money, the blood tests show your ovulating so you just need to be patient" bloody jerk! I then started crying and he told me I had to leave as his next patient was waiting Confused

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 10:29

Cups I am Shock at your GP. What a twat!! Well done for changing GPs. I think so often people just put up with it!

We just got back. It's scorchio. I'm not sure what else to do today. I should sort the references out for my thesis. But that's no fun! It's frustrating not knowing what's going on!

We had a call this morning from the clinic. We have 4 frostiness that were all expanding blastos! All top quality. The other 4 all went blasto too, but not as good quality, so they haven't kept them. I'm really chuffed. They also only used one vial of frozen spunk, so we have one vial in the freezer still Smile

How are you doing on the buserilin Cups?

Solars · 09/07/2013 10:35

That feeling of detachment is quite strange Maybe I think for me that was why the relaxation cds were good as it made you visualise what was going on in there. Obviously round about now the embryo is probably finding a nice spot to implant in. Excellent news on the frosties!

Cups how are you doing? When is your scan? Your ex-GP sounds vile by the way.

Brooking for AF's imminent arrival Musical

Geek there seemed a lot of information to take in from your follow-up, hope you are dissecting it all and comfortable in where you are headed. Will you still do the immunes despite what your consultant said about it? I hope you are ok.

Beedle I'm thinking of you too.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 10:47

I've been trying to do some of my own visualisation Solars. Just wish I could see or feel something Grin

Thinking of you too Beedle and Geek

Solars · 09/07/2013 10:53

It is strange isn't it Maybe not knowing what is going on. I have work piled up to do but no inclination to do it...i've been contemplating taking the laptop outside but I don't think that's going to help me get any work done...

keepitgoing · 09/07/2013 12:06

well mrsmaybe remember that you are preggers unless proven otherwise. Therefore, assume that the emby is implanting around tomorrow or the next day, I'd think. I can't believe you're going to hold off till the 20th to test. My clinic's OTD was 9dp5dt, though you might remember that my own crappily insensitive pee stick was not exactly decisive at this time. I think a decent one would be though. But I do kind of understand wanting to hold out, a la solars. btw great news on the frosties - amazing that you had 9 get to blast!! That's a brilliant sign that you two make fab embies.

musical, I'm brooking for your AF to come back. Not often that we say that to a brooker, is it!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 12:21

Thanks so much Keep. You're right. The embie was already hatching. I Must. Think. Positive. 11 days till OTD. It's not too terrible I suppose who am I kidding T-how many days till you fly?

Solars it's too nice to work isn't it. I have decided I shall highlight references today. That's a fair compromise no?!

keepitgoing · 09/07/2013 13:31

T-13!!!!

keepitgoing · 09/07/2013 13:33

BTW I don't believe thinking positive will affect the outcome, just your sanity in the meantime! ;)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 13:57

Whoop!! Not long now Grin. I agree with you, I don't think positive thinking will change it either Grin. And I'm not sure I was sane in the first place.....Wink

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/07/2013 15:11

Oh Maybe not sure I have said, I am beyond excited for you, and brooking beyond anything that your emby sticks, you have been so kind and supportive to everyone else, this must be your time!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 15:20
ThedementedPenguin · 09/07/2013 16:35

I'll join in with Boo's dance. Hoping Embie sticks :)

Oh my that weather is wonderful. How you are supposed to DTD in that I've no idea. But I'm hoping to persuade DP tonight as its been from Friday. I'm not doing to great at this TTC but I'm sure ill get there in the end.

Is everyone enjoying the weather?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 17:11

Maybe that's fab news about the frosties Smile

Keep T-13!!! So exciting. Are you looking forward to coming back?

Solars I'm at the clinic on Sunday for blood test to check if I'm ready for stimming. I don't think I'm having a scan.

I'm not enjoying the down regging tbh but I am getting used to the tiredness and hot flushes. I've booked some acupuncture for tomorrow and I'm drinking plenty of water. Apart from that there is nothing else to do but wait.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 17:13

Good luck Penguin with dtd, we have not dtd in about 3 weeks already as DH has been away a lot with work and cos we don't really need to. I think it's the longest we have ever gone, I'm enjoying the break Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 18:30

The weather is amazing Penguin. Luckily I am now banned from sex for a few weeks so I don't need to worry Wink. Maybe you could get creative with ice? DP will love that Grin

Sorry you're not feeling great Cups. Any sign of AF yet?

Munxx · 09/07/2013 20:51

Just checking on Maybe..... Looking good! Come on embie! Implant and nestle down warm and snug. There's an amazing mummy waiting for you!

Hope you feel better soon cups

solars I meant to say on the other thread, but congrats on another successful scan. You are doing great, it's natural to worry though. I know.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 09/07/2013 21:16

Hello! Hello! Just checking in - have countdown theme in head constantly when thinking of maybe testing no pressure!

Hope everyone else is OK? I'm bloody roasting. Am goi g to buy a paddling pool tomorrow for DS for me to wallow in like a beached whale

Am off to catch up on rest of thread and hopefully will have something more prosaic to post soon!

BlindKitty · 09/07/2013 21:31

Just a quick hello to everyone . I hope everyone is enjoying the sun and that the pupa maybe is taking it easy xxx

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 22:14

Thanks again you amazing lot. I lost a bit of fanjo gel and am panicking I have messed everything up. In reality I know I'm making a mountain out of a progesterone mole hill. I also have jut had some low down cramps Sad

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 22:17

No sign of AF Maybe I'm getting a bit worried to be honest as I would have expected her by now. It's defo not a miracle BFP as we haven't had unprotected sex since my last AF. I'm stressing it will delay the stimming.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 22:18

Maybe don't worry about the gel, losing a bit will be fine. The cramps could be a good thing, I read in my zita west book that with a blasto implantation normally starts 2 dpt so this could be it Grin

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/07/2013 22:20

By the way is Luther really good? The first two series are now on Netflix so I was thinking about watching it
