Anyway Cups it just will work out fine cos I have just thought of a great name for after you get your BFP Grin I've thought of 2 just in case Wink

GenericDietCola · 02/08/2013 19:06

Woo hoo, cups, brooking like mad for your two dots. Sorry you were a bit disappointed, but it sounds like you've done all you can and with the power of brooking, I'm sure you'll be fine Smile

ThedementedPenguin · 02/08/2013 19:35

cups I'm glad it went well and I'm brooking loads to get those two dots to grow grow grow.

What does pupo mean again?

nurse how exciting, I bet you can't wait to move.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 02/08/2013 19:39

Pregnant until proven otherwise Penguin. Now, how's Chick treating you so far?

musicalmrs · 02/08/2013 19:51

Congratulations on being PUPO Cups! Make sure you take life easy for the next couple of weeks.

Nurse, how exciting that you'll be moving soon! whereaboutsish are you heading? (You've probably said and I probably missed it!)

Penguin and Maybe, how are you feeling? Maybe, what kind of job are you doing now? Make sure you take it easy too!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/08/2013 20:46

I'm a medical writer Musical, working on COPD. I think I going to really enjoy it must wish I felt better Wink. How are your top secret plans coming along?

I cannot wait to see Boo's name for you Cups Grin

BlindKitty · 02/08/2013 21:27

That sounds really interesting maybe, I've lauds of patients with copd

Yay for cups being pupo!!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait til you can poas!

Guys, can I ask your advice? My fc has prescribed me 100mg clomid for my iui even though I overstimulated on that dose when I was on clomid earlier in the year. i adked the nurse to double check thats what she wanted and she said yes! if i produce too many eggs they'll cancel it! what do you think?

ScarlettInSpace · 02/08/2013 21:51

Just sidling in with a big whooooooooooooooop for cups

Huge hugs and congrats on making it to PUPO status Grin

Much love brookers, I'll be back sooooooooon I promise xx

ThedementedPenguin · 02/08/2013 23:04

Thanks boo think I'm slowly picking up the lingo.

I'm good, thanks for asking boo and musical

Just been super tired today. Had a nap earlier and have been in bed for a while watching bad tv.

I'm no help kitty but hoping someone better comes along soon with some help for you.

How are you feeling now cups?

BlindKitty · 03/08/2013 07:05

Thanks penguin! Any advice from the knowledgable brookers is appreciated!!!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/08/2013 07:56

Are you a nurse too kitty

I'm not sure about the clomid. I'm fairly sure that the lovely keep had some clomid for an IUI and they has to cancel. Did you speak to the consultant about it? I think you need to try and get in touch of you can. Though it's not the end of the world if they so cancel, it would be so bloody frustrating for you.

GreenOlives · 03/08/2013 08:04

Morning all! cups I hope that you are still tucked up in bed this morning with DH about to bring you breakfast up. I am brooking harder than ever for your dots to settle in for the long haul and make you the third brooker with twins on board! Grin

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 03/08/2013 10:15

Kitty that's a tough one. Could you email/phone the consultants secretary to say you have some concerns? They might be able to either pass the question on or get the consultant to call you. I don't know what adult doctors are like but our consultants are always happy to phone parents if they have any problems.

Scarlett don't your dare go anywhere missy!

Olives I would be overjoyed to have the third set of brooking twins Smile

Well I've been awake since 5am again, I keep waking up at that time and struggling to get back to sleep. DH has not been waiting on me, I've already cleaned all of downstairs and made him breakfast. I'm stopping now as I started getting hot and out of breath when I was hovering so figure I better take it easy now. Our house was such a tip though I couldn't stand it any longer.

We are off to the in laws this afternoon. DH is an usher at a wedding back home tomorrow. I'm dreading it a bit as I don't really know anyone and there will probably be the usual questions. Plus I feel ugly as I'm so spotty from all the drugs. On the plus side I've got a nice new dress that hides my swollen belly.

What is everyone up to this weekend?

BlindKitty · 03/08/2013 10:38

maybe no, I'm a dietitian! What made you think that?

cups I bet you'll look lovely! Get yourself a bottle of schloer under the table and pretend its wine!

nearlyanurse · 03/08/2013 19:42

penguin, am proper excited, albeit a bit apprehensive - so much change ahead. I'm moving to Buckinghamshire musical, but will be working in Surrey. And it'll be the first time mr nurse and I have been properly co-located ever.

maybe I did not know that's what you did! Copd - oft!! Had to learn all about it for my finals. Just oft.

Well, the car boot was quite a laugh. Unbelievable the tat folk will buy. I made about 50 quid, but we've loads left, so we're gonna do a bigger one in a few weeks. Am on the hunt in my mum's and sister's helping them clearout their mountains of junk have a clearout.

Am full of the cold, and brewing a throat infection I think. Proper feeling sorry for meself. Milking it and letting my mum fuss over me - am gonna miss that when I move south.

ThedementedPenguin · 03/08/2013 22:44

Nurse hope your feeling better soon.

Oh that's really exciting nurse I've lived with my Dp a year now, but previously to that I lived with his family for 6-7 months. It's been great, except his cleaning standards are way better than mine so I get on his nerves that way.

BlindKitty · 04/08/2013 08:03

nurse you know what they 'one nurse's tat is another nurse's treasure'!

penguin omg I think I might have gone mental if I lived with my dh's parents!

Brookers - speaking of pils, Dh told his mum about our imminent iui/ivf and we had a little tiff about it the other day. I'm not mad that he told her but I wish he'd perhaps told her not to discuss it with me! She called 3 times to 'congratulate' me and was in tears! Wouldn't mind but I'm not even pregnant yet but now feel like I'm under pressure for it to be successful - AIBU?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 04/08/2013 08:32

Nurse I hope your feeling a bit better this morning. My mum lives abroad most of the time and down south when she's in England. I love seeing her if I'm ill/tired as no one looks after you as well as your mum Smile it's so exciting that you actually get to live with your DH soon!

Kitty that's awful, did you manage to explain it all to her? My MIL has really struggled to get her head around IVF and how it works. When we got here yesterday both of them seemed ready to pop open the champagne! I sent DH in to explain that I'm not pregnant while I discreetly nipped to the loo.

We went for a meal last night with PIL and two of their friends. The male friend had been to a summer fair with his grandchildren that day and kept making jokes with my FIL about a whack the rat game they had there Shock I nearly choked on my water a few times.

BlindKitty · 04/08/2013 08:55

cups finally someone who agrees! It's bad enough letting ourselves down each month let alone someone else! Dh just doesn't get it! Also really not sure about discussing my reproductive health with my mil!!!! Have had to tell my mum now so even more pressure!!! Oh but btw, you are pupo at the mo as opposed to 'not pregnant'!!!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 04/08/2013 09:29

I know Kitty, it's just more pressure than we need. No way would we try to explain PUPO to her, she was really struggling to get her head around the fact the IVF does not always result in pregnancy Grin

OP posts:
ThedementedPenguin · 04/08/2013 09:45

kitty it wasn't actually that bad. We get on great and they are very easy going. Plus his mum was so good to me last time I was pregnant as I went off all meat and she cooked me a separate meal which she didn't need to do but insisted (sp?)

kitty I hope you've been able to sort it out with your PIL. Try not to think of them during the whole thing, you def don't need any extra pressure. Can you tell Dh to speak to them again?

Still brooking lots for you cups. Hoping this month goes quickly for you and your embies have gotten themselves settled and comfy.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 04/08/2013 10:20

Kitty I feel for you. I totally know what you mean about the extra expectations adding pressure. That's exactly how I felt, which is why I ended up banning MrM from mentioning dates to anyone. They knew, but not when, as it would've been constant phone calls. My parents knew as te IVF is so involved, and as MrM works shifts, sometimes I needed a lift to the clinic.

How are you feeling lovely Cups? I hope you are taking it a bit easy.

How are you feeling today Nurse? Better I hope. Not long till you'll be down on the sunny south Grin yes, COPD. Bit different from what I'm used to!!

BlindKitty · 04/08/2013 13:36

penguin I d

BlindKitty · 04/08/2013 13:41

Start again!

penguin the best thing to do is to not talk about it and hopefully they'll forget yeh whatever

cups yeh but yours will Wink

Well been very virtuous and done a double class at the gym today. So bored now though - car shopping for dh. Know it's presumptuous but we're going to have to ask about space for a pushchair and baby seat

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 15:12

Am still loaded with the cold, but not poorly enough to warrant a day in bed, so am up to work then home to bed at the minute. penguin know what you mean about standards, mr nurse is properly tidy with a bit of ocd, whereas I'm a disaster. I've told him we'll be employing a cleaner, but he'd rather do it himself, whereas I'm happy to throw money at the situation for someone else to do it. Especially when we're both working long full time hours. Life's too short for coming home to clean a bathroom. How on earth did you cope living with the in-laws? I get on really well with mine, but not sure how I'd cope living with them!

kitty, I was amazed at the utter crap perfectly nice items folk were buying. You're so right with that saying.

The big move south is 3 weeks today - so much to do before then!!

In other news, I've had some mucky spotting today, which I get sometimes prior to AFs arrival, so am pretty sure that's me outta the game for another month. Ah well.
