Looking for some support along this everlasting road of ttc? Let the brookers take control....

[BlindKitty]

Hey brookers!!! Like what I've done with the place???? Come on in and get ready for some serious brooking action!!!!!

Congratulations Keep hope they are both doing well

Ernie it is!

Hurrah Keep! That seems to have gone quickly.

Ernie!! Ernie!! Ernie!!

Maybe we have only had one conversation on names so far, this ended rather abruptly when DH seriously suggested Eric & Ernie or Bert & Ernie if we have twin boys!!! Bloody men.

I have been lurking from a distance and keep checking on the all assisted action. Sounds like you are all doing very well and of course the brooking helps

I love bert and ernie!! 'hey bert' 'hey ernie' . My bro does an amazing impression.

but would you really like your kids called that?

no way!! MrS wasn't really being serious was he?!

Hello one and all. Unfortunately I've had spotting today, and another neg hpt so I think I've lucked out again this month. But can I still hang here?? Y'all are so friendly and kind! And I love the positivity.

Boo, I've taken your advice and ordered some opk strips and a thermometer. Am a woman on a mission - by the time I get to live with mr nurse, I'll know exactly when I need to jump his bones, lol.

Sorry to hear that Nurse . You must stay here! We insist!

Oh Nurse sorry so hear that. Good for you getting yourself sorted with your opk's and thermometer. You actually can't leave now you're here

You're all too kind! My sis and friend (the only people I tell when I'm "late") just tell me que sera, and not to worry - apparently I'm stressing about it, and that's why it's not happening. ..they have 2 beautiful babies each...

Oh Nurse, I know people mean well when they say it. But really?! It's the most annoying thing to hear

I know maybe, it wasn't so bad the first couple of months, but it's been almost a year. Thats almost 12 lots of dashed hopes. They just don't get it. And poor Mr Nurse reckons his swimmers aint swimming. I think it's just our current situation more than anything, trying to keep my hopes up.

Sorry for moaning - shall we talk about the weather? Ha. Or someone was talking about baking...?

Keep congratulations on your niece

Maybe I quite like ernie, it's cute not cute enough for a real life baby though Sweetie I hope you feeling rough is some very early symptoms

Nurse Welcome to brooking and I'm sorry to hear about the spotting. It sounds really tough living away from your DH.

Peguin what lingo are you unsure of? I know there are some ttc acronyms somewhere on mn. I don't know if you mean more specific ones used on this thread instead?

Gobbo yay I know who you are now!!!

Still no AF, if she's not here by Saturday morning I'm meant to contact the clinic & I think they make me DR for longer. I'm thinking of seducing DH later as that always seems to help AF along. Desperate times I really don't want to DR for any longer.

Sorry Keep completely missed congratulating you on your new niece.

Cups brooking for AF to show even if it does feel a bit wrong

Penguin tell us what you're unsure of, I can't get the acronym list on my phone

Hi Guys!!!

have you ever tried 'just relaxing and seeing what happens' sorry, couldn't resist! I've lost count of the times people have said that to me over the last 2 years!

Come on cups af!!!!!!

maybe hope that embie is settling in well!!!!

C'mon Cups's AF, how annoying! Hope dtd works

Hello and welcome to Nurse. Now that you are here you must stay. That must take some planning to dtd with DH away a lot. Sorry about spotting.

Oooo Gobbolino I make soda bread quite often too, it's so quick and easy. I'd love a pm too as I'm intrigued to know who you are now.

Kitty, Cups aside from mentalling a little this week (as I found out 2 of the girls i cycled with had scans and their babies showed no heartbeats) I think sunbeam and I are doing ok. Trying to keep the brooking spirit. Yes still having the weekly scans.

How are you doing Maybe? anymore symptoms to report? I'm sure Ernie is snuggled in for the long haul now.

Evening all!

Nurse I find people telling youtk relax has the opposite effect . How old are both

Come Cups AF.

Thanks Kitty. How are you?

How are you Solars? I'm just exhausted. A few more pokey sensations. I'm just shattered! I am not taking these as symptoms though. Just progesterone side effects! Oh, and the massive sore boulders that were formally knows as boobs!

kitty that made me laugh. Some people are clueless.

maybe I just turned the big 3-oh, mr nursecis 31 next week. That's another cracker I hear often 'och, you're both young, you'll be waiting til you're both settled before trying for a family'. Like I said, clueless.

Sorry to not have read through the whole thread, but where are you all at with your ttc-ness? maybe, did you get a positive??

Yes Nurse the oldies are the best

You'd have a struggle reading back, we've been going for years over here!! I am coming to the end of my first cycle of IVF ICSI. I had an embryo transferred on Monday so am now waiting!

I have an overwhelming feeling tonight that it hasn't worked

Oh maybe fingers crossed for you. It aint over till it's over. If only one of us can be preggers this month, I'll go without! ! I don't know a great deal about ivf, but can only imagine how much of a roller coaster the whole process is.

Thanks Nurse a good few of us have been going through it. It's not easy, but it will be more than worth if it works

Maybe what makes you think that? Is it not too early to tell?

Tbh I read a few acronyms on here and I'm confused by them. Ill maybe have a look for a list of them by doing a search tomorrow.

Nurse I am TTC number 2 although this is my first time trying for a baby. This is cycle 1. Came off the pill on 2nd June and AF arrived 29th June.

I googled when AF didn't arrive for a while big mistake I then came and found this thread

Woooo Hooooo AF is here!!! I didn't think I would ever be happy to post that. DH and I shared a celebratory hi five this morning. Now waiting for Sundays appointment.

Shakes Maybe none of that negative talk missy, there is no way of knowing either way. Sounds like MrM has got some lovely stuff planned for you. Just focus on all of that and let Ernie do his thing. Has Elton cancelled his concerts then?

Solars glad to hear your both doing ok, it must be hard hearing about the people who cycled with you. However you and sunbeam are fine and we are brooking no arguments on that front.

Face wow 13 weeks! How is it all going? What is the plan? Do you need anymore treatment?

Nurse I meant to say, I'm a nurse in rl. Where are you doing your training?

Right need to get moving, have got a study day today. At least I don't have to wear a sweaty uniform today
