Brilliant news, Maybe! Like everyone else, I am over the moon for you x

GreenOlives · 20/07/2013 08:32

Grin Grin Grin Grin < this is my face maybe! Bet yours is even smilier! Wink

Munxx · 20/07/2013 08:41

Words can't express how happy I am for you maybe

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/07/2013 08:41

Thank you so so much everyone Grin. We couldn't go back to sleep so took the dog for a massive walk and am now watching MrM water the allotment!

Biscuits I call them on Monday. Scan should be in just under 3 weeks plenty of time to stress I think I'm effectively 17DPO.

Musical I'm sending her your way.

Kitty was it you who was due AF today? Or was it Nurse? So sorry, I can't remember

Honestly couldn't have done all this without you lot xxx

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 20/07/2013 09:02

Maybe that's fantastic! I'm so so happy for you both. I wish I could give you a big hug.

Does anyone else feel really emotional about these BFPs lately? We have had some really hard won ones which is brilliant.

I'm still thinking of Geek, Beedle and Scarlett lots. I'm brooking for miracle BFPs for you guys while you are waiting to start the next stage. Lots of love to you all x

Solars have you told any of your family yet? I can't believe you haven't peed on a stick at all. That's crazy!! Thanks for starting the dance for me.

Well I started my stimming last night. My burselin injection really hurt, I think I must have gone into a bruised area as its never been that sore before. I've also been a bit worried as I've been having some weird sensations in my right calf since I took the injections. I had acupuncture yesterday so I think it's most likely from that.

We went out for tea with 2 other couples. We had a really nice time. I told the girls all about my treatment. We are quite close, they are both nurses and have worked in the clinic I'm having treatment at so it was really nice to talk to them about it.

How is everyone doing today? I'm off to work Sad but I'm off tomorrow Smile

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/07/2013 09:07

Thank you so much Cups. You're next in line!! How are you feeling about everything? Some of my buserilin injections really hurt. But I bruise so easily. Not many more days now. I'm sure your leg is nothing to do with the gonal f. When I started I was literally sitting there waiting to see how it made me feel. I think you're hyper aware when you know our pumping yourself full of drugs.

I too am always thinking about Beedle, Geek and Scarlett x

ThedementedPenguin · 20/07/2013 10:28

Oh maybe that's great news. Glad the digi has moved up weeks.

I finished my pill on the 2nd June. According to my app (which I am not taking seriously) I'm due AF tomorrow but we shall see.

It's so hot again today. It's only 10.26am and I'm already melting. There is a nice breeze today which is good. Dp wants to go out on the boat again but I don't. I end up getting stuck with ds and he cried most of the time. Think ill refuse.

What's everyone's plans for today?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/07/2013 10:32

Thanks Penguin Smile. Can you give DS to DP for the day so you can have some chill out time?!

I wouldn't worry if AF doesn't come bang on time. I think my first cycle off the pill was 40 days, but that soon came down!

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 10:35

Woooo woop maybe fab news Grin you're officially preggers!!!! What did dh say?

So in my news..
My pretreatment iui appointment has come for 1st aug!!!!!! Woop woop
:-D

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 20/07/2013 11:02

Kitty that is bloody fantastic!!! Not long now.

Penguin I hope you can convince DH to take DS out so you can have a nice break.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/07/2013 11:26

Kiity that's so close!! Hurrah!! How are you feeling about it? Bloody excited I suspect!!

He was pretty chuffed. He was pleased on Thursday, but today was the day. It feels very surreal. He has told his mum and dad (tey are in Devon so long way away) an we are going to see my parents to tell them now!

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 11:35

cups well my next af is due 8th so really hoping they'll start me in aug -need some good brooking please!

maybe yep dead excited but trying desperately not to be as don't want to line myself up for a fall! How exciting about telling your parents?!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/07/2013 11:38

I know what you mean Kitty. It's tough. But you'll be great. And we are all hereti hold your hand x

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 20/07/2013 11:39

Ooh Maybe have fun telling them :):)

Kitty that's brilliant news, so soon too!! Grin

Morning everyone else, how's it all going?

ThedementedPenguin · 20/07/2013 11:46

kitty that's great news.

I had AF on 29th June. So hoping this one wont be too far away.

Aw that would be a great idea but it wouldn't happen. I left ds with Dp yesterday for about 40 mins and he huffed and puffed about it for ages as ds was a bit cranky with the heat. So I very much doubt it would happen for a whole day. Although I'm thinking of going home tomorrow. I can't wait to go back home.

TheLittleFriend · 20/07/2013 12:31

Fantastic maybe, congratulations. For some reason the bit about you going to tell your parents made me choke back tears Smile

Great news about your appointment Kitty.

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 12:37

friend and me! Although I cry a bit (in a good) each one of you gets your bfps!

Thanks guys. I've got 3 shots at it apparently and if this fails, we go to ivf. Being very angelic now but wish I'd not gone so crazy in June with the fun and debauchery! Hope I haven't ruined things! X

nearlyanurse · 20/07/2013 12:53

Well, I miss a few days on here, and come back to find maybe has only gone and gotten herself preggers. Oh to the em to the gee whizz! Beyond pleased for you maybs, I can't even imagine how excited you are!

Sorry I haven't been around, been super busy, have barely had time to scratch my elbow. Hope you're all well!

Am down south with mister nurse, but only just finished with af, so that's another month gone (rage).

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 22:02

hmmm it's a bit quiet in here! The brookers must all be baby making / telling parents good news / getting drunk

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 21/07/2013 08:56

Kitty dont worry about it, your being good now which is plenty of preparation. My clinic advised DH to stop drinking straight away (as his SA was rubbish), for me they just said to stop drinking, cut down caffeine etc during my IVF cycle. I did it a bit earlier to support DH as drinking is such a big thing to him I didn't think he could do it on his own! By the way I'm totally loving non alcoholic beer at the moment Smile

Nurse that's rubbish, when will you next get to see MrNurse? Will you get chance before ovulation?

Maybe how did it go telling your parents?

I'm feeling better today as the down regulation symptoms seen to be easing. The weird tingling in my leg has got better too. I know it's not long before ill be feeling bloated from the stimming so I think I'll make the most of it and go out for the day. Not sure where yet though. Anyone got anything planned? (I might be able to steal some inspiration!)

BlindKitty · 21/07/2013 09:08

cups dh's morphology was 3% and its only been a month since glasto [hmmm]. Doesn't it take 3 months for the sperm to grow?

Just going to yoga today and owing housework (think I'm stupidly nesting already!). Hope you have a nice day whatever you do!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 21/07/2013 09:11

Morning all!

Thanks Keep Grin

Thanks Little. I'm keeping your lucky pee stick forever!

And a big thank you to you too Nurse! What you been up to darn sarf?

Glad you're feeling a bit better Cups. I didn't start to bloat on the stims until closer to EC. Glad your legs getting better too. Are you getting on with the accupuncture?

All parents were delighted, my mum cried!!

No plans today. I cannot wait to start my job so we have two salaries again Grin. Already walked the pup. I suggest a ni lunch for you and MrC. I too am loving non-alcoholic beer.

Kitty I wouldn't worry about the drinking either. My clinic said that a couple of glasses a wine a week was absolutely fine during my treatment. I only had some after EC though as I knew I had 5 days 'off'.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 21/07/2013 09:12

Yes Kitty, 3 months for turnover of sperm. What's he like for caffeine too?
