[twinklestar2]

Over here ladies!

Massive congrats to NookNook!! Great start to the new thread.

maybs DH had SSR last August after a failed vasectomy reversal in September 2010(got pg but mc @6 weeks in Feb 2011). I had large cyst removed and AMH 0.23. #1 IVF BFN, #2 March - mc, #3 fingers crossed!

[NoMaybeAboutIt]

Quite a time of it then Chocco. But 3 is my lucky number, so I have a good feeling about this

[BrookerC]

cupcakes I found calling any stingy injection a little fucker made me feel so much better

[Fabuluce]

Lol Brooker - perfect timing - I was only thinking this morning how we'd all stopped swearing!!! Little fucker sounds like the perfect description my DH has done my injections so if they did hurt I couldn't say anything to him as he hates the idea of hurting me bless him. He said he'd rather not do the injections but I insisted - evil cow that I am - so that he has more inclusion in it all.

Having just had my 20th (possible sight over exaggeration) wee of the morning I'm in awe of Wim holding on for 4 hours!! I just had a pint of water 30 mins before mine last time and I was ready to rock! Small bladder???

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

Brooker I am enjoying my little fucker free day . I'm relaxing at home watching tv in bed, eating chocolate and listening to the storms outside.

Fab how did your scan go? Are you ready to trigger tonight?

What's everyone having for tea? I'm feeling very lazy so I'm thinking about buying a roast chicken and having some salad.

[BrookerC]

I have the AF from hell which has arrived 3 days early. TMI alert -woke up to huge leakage . Feeling incredibly hormonal & ready to swear my fucking head off. Fuck fuck bastard twat bollox.
Sorry ladies. That feels better
Hoping DH is taking me out for bouillabaisse & white wine tonight

[BrookerC]

beetle ouch to sore stabbing site. Glad to hear your follies are coming on nicely

[Fabuluce]

Bollox what happened to my fucking post

So all is good for trigger tonight and EC on Wednesday - whoop whoop! Womb lining looking perfect apparently (he has previously referred to it as award winning - gloat!) and have 15 follies doing their thang.

Im either going to have roast chicken with everything or quorn and bean chilli with baked spuds. Can't make up my mind which to do....

Get on the drugs for AF brooks, that's rubbish.

Chocs - 3rd time's the dream isn't it?? Am keeping everything crossed for you lovely xx

[Fabuluce]

Beetle, your dinner sounds lush! Is your poor tum really bruised then? Thankfully I can do fostimon and merional together in the same injection so I only have 2 injections daily - them plus buserelin. Not long to go now though then it's progesterone or evil vag bullets from hell as I like to call them.

[nobeer]

beetle glad to hear your follies are coming along nicely! I think you're very organised to already have to wine chilling!

brooker fuck off to fucking AF! After she's fucked off, what's the next stage for you?

twinks hope your return to work goes ok. Might be good to have the distraction.

Hello to maybe, choco, cups, wim, fab, pip, karbea, wish and anyone I've forgotten or who is a lurking.

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

Fucking AF, I hate the fucker! Although I must admit I sometimes like it when she turns up early as it stops the mentalling and non stop knicker checking. Hope you have got a pile of juicy drugs to take the pain away. What's next for you Brooker?

Fab great news on the follies and award winning lining I'm not jealous at all good luck with trigger tonight.

Beetle sounds like its all going well, fingers crossed for EC soon. I'm impressed you already have the wine chilling.

Anyone got any advice on what I should be eating/drinking post EC and ET? I'm totally sick of milk/chicken/eggs. Btw I'm allergic to nuts so can't have magic brazil nuts

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

I've just been texting my DH and told him I was going to be sorting myself out down below for tomorrow. His response "tidy bush, tidy life"

[nobeer]

Ooh me too cups! I'm afraid I can't offer any advice, I just carried on with healthy eating. Have had the odd drink or two, but that's because my embryos are frozen. Will stop drinking again now as might be doing FET later this month. I also decided maybe it was sensible to do some exercise before FET so did some yoga and a bit of The Shred video on youtube. I managed 10 mins. Will try again today to see if I can manage 15.
at your DH! That must be why my life is so disorganised!

[Fabuluce]

Lol - that's like my DH who says happy wife, happy life!!! He's right of course. I had a prune of the lady garden at the beginning of stims so think I'm probably ok in that area plus quite frankly I just can't be arsed now! Have been doing lots of walking exercise and quote frankly I'm a bit bloody knackered - might be time for a nap instead

[BrookerC]

Ooh get you & your perfect lining fab !! Marvellous news on EC for Weds & a lovely number of gorgeous follies Can't believe I'm going to say this but i've missed the fanny bullets Think it's due to what it represented ie being PUPO (get over yourself woman-someone bitch slap me NOW!)
Taking more drugs so should be fine soon .......
nobeer cups I shall be back on the wagon & eating healthily when AF fucks off. Plan to start cycle 3

[Fabuluce]

Bitch slap coming your way now lovely - NOBODY misses Fanny bullets!! Missing Pupo yes (even if it is the dreaded 2ww at least it's something right?) but the bullets no no no lady!!! Think of the slime - eeeyoouu!

[chocolocodowninacapulco]

brooker sorry to hear about shit AF, tell her to fuck off and do one! Make sure DH definitely takes you out tonight, tell him I said so!

fab I too am afflicted with tiny bladder syndrome . Brilliant about your scan and trigger tonight, well done you. My vote's for the roast chicken.

nobeer fair play to you with the exercise routines, I think I might have turned into some sort of couch potato sloth over the last few weeks!

cups avocados are meant to be good, if you like them. I've been drinking supermarket own strawberry milkshake and trying not to think about the shit load of sugar in them. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are good too.

beetle great news about EC being on Saturday and sorry the stabbing is making you sore. I've got a good collection of purple dots on my stomach from the clexane and some unusual lumps and marks from the gestone injections in the buttocks, it's a means to an end though

I went to see my acupuncturist today for a drop-in pulse check and I had read that they can tell if your preggo from your pulses, so I deliberately said nothing. She said I had a bouncy, buoyant pulse and it was the best she had ever felt my pulses(I've been going for 16 months) and said that it was the first time she could remember for years where she had checked someone's pulses and felt it was best to leave them as they were and not do any treatment. She said to me 'Choco, your pulses are really good'. Gah! Now I wish I had just come out and asked her what she was saying, but she doesn't really tell me what the pulses are like usually and she was so effusive...

In other news, went out for a pub lunch for our anniversary and had fish cake and chips with garlic mayo and sticky toffee pudding . I wanted baked chocolate and amaretto cheesecake with cherry compote, but they had sold out so I nearly had a tantrum

Hello to all the other lovelies I haven't name checked.

[chocolocodowninacapulco]

*you're, not your!

[nobeer]

choco that pulse things sounds really positive! I'm afraid I haven't done any exercise today, a migraine has come on so had some strong pain killers and vegging on sofa. Might try some gentle yoga before bedtime.

fab good luck with the trigger! I think all these different injections and procedures feel like another step closer.

brooker We're off on Friday to the inlaws, then next Tues a few days away on our own. The inlaws live in a costal town so we'll go to the beach every day and will feed us well! So will definitely have to do some exercise while we're there! Poor DP is fed up with work, so can't wait to get away and see him wind down a bit.

[nobeer]

Happy anniversary choco!

[chocolocodowninacapulco]

Thanks nobeer. Your holiday sounds great, beach and being fed - what more could you want? DH got a book from the library the other day on camping in France which I do quite fancy actually. Great thunderstorms here!

[chocolocodowninacapulco]

Sorry about your migraine

[Fabuluce]

Chocs that's great news from your acupuncturist. I'm not entirely convinced they can tell straight away but the fact that she said they're so good does imply that your body is happy with what's been happening which is fabulous

Decided with chilli in the end after a request from DH. Think I'll do the roast tomorrow leaving us with leftovers on Wednesday eve when I won't be arsed to cook.

Congrats on your wedding anniversary - I personally would have been very excited about the sticky toffee pudding as it's one of my all time favourite things plus I don't eat chocolate. I know, I'm a freak! I got hypnotised to not have it about 8 years ago and haven't had it since.
