Great news cups!

ThedementedPenguin · 31/07/2013 13:48

kitty your appointment is tomorrow? How are you feeling?

nearlyanurse · 31/07/2013 16:50

cups, you're introducing me to a whole new world - very interesting! Also, I've been inspired to create a version of the lion king through the medium of expressive dance in your honour - it includes numerous one-handed cartwheels, which have caused me to strain my groin, but am getting right involved in the fertility dancing.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 31/07/2013 19:45

Grin Nurse!!!! Bloody amazing.

Good luck for tomorrow Kitty. Can't wait to hear about it.

How you feeling Cups? I did indeed start my job on Monday. It's slowly killing me I feel. 12 hour days and today has been more like 15

Sorry not to name check everyone, I'm on my phone as I'm still not home. I wish I had some ruby slippers Wink

BlindKitty · 31/07/2013 20:26

penguin I'm beyond excited! Yes, it's tomorrow Grin

maybe thanks bud! Will let you know!

Has cups stopped stressing yet? Wink

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 31/07/2013 22:02

Nurse I'm speechless in awe at your moves. My embies are guaranteed to divide after that spectacular display Grin

Sweetie I'm enjoying a slice of my EC cake in bed, it's so nice. I'm already worried how I will cope once I've eaten it all!

Maybe that's great (about the job, not the long days) are you enjoying it?

Kitty no I've not calmed down and I never will! I'm a high maintenance kinda gal. I really identify with Sally out of When Harry Met Sally Smile
Good luck for tomorrow, I'm brooking everything goes well and you can get started ASAP.

I've just got back from the cinema, we saw Monsters University. It was funny and kept me distracted for 2 hours anyway. I'm bloody shattered now, back to resting.

ThedementedPenguin · 31/07/2013 22:22

Wow nurse your putting us all to shame with those moves.

maybe those days sound awful. I can't imagine doing it.

Although I am dealing with a very active 11 month old. Who loves wrecking the whole house and climbing the stairs. So I don't feel like I get a minutes peace, even during nap time :(

kitty brooking for you. Hopefully you'll be able to start things soon. I'm not really sure what your going for (and cant remember the name) but you can bring me up to spead tomorrow after your app.

cups it's good to hear you are resting, I really want to see that movie but noone to go with. I'm still doing my cell division dance for you, but after nurses performance ill have to step it up.

ScarlettInSpace · 31/07/2013 23:05

Well done cups & good luck kitty

nearlyanurse · 31/07/2013 23:45

Hakuna matata, people. That is all.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/08/2013 07:17

Good luck Kitty

Cups any news overnight?

Brooking for all of you

NoMaybeAboutIt · 01/08/2013 09:21

Sexy aren't they Cups Wink

Thinking of you Kitty!

nearlyanurse · 01/08/2013 09:58

Ladies, some advice if you please - I've been using these opk sticks since cd10 (now on cd20), and haven't had a positive in all that time. Usual cycles vary from 30-32 days. So obviously I'm now freaking out slightly concerned I'm not ovulating at all, and wrongly blaming the lack of bun-in-the-ovenness on my living circumstances.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/08/2013 10:38

are you using the cheapy internet ones nurse ? Some people have said they don't work for them, I never see a really dark line on them but I do see a variation over a few days that gets (just about) to the same darkness as the control line. What time of day are you using them? And do you avoid weeing for a few hours beforehand?

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 01/08/2013 11:11

Like Beedle said I've heard people say the cheap ones don't always work. You need to test in the afternoon and you need to not go to the loo for a few hours before. Are you getting a line at all? I would get lines on them but they never went as dark as the control line.

I then started using CBFM which I think was pretty accurate for me (after 3 years ttc i just knew when i was ovulating!) but obviously I've never got a BFP.

No news from me Boo, I next here from the embryologist tomorrow. It feels ages away. I keep praying my embryos are dividing nicely Smile

Solars · 01/08/2013 11:25

Good luck Kitty with your appointment today and hope you get to start ASAP.

Nurse I always used the cheapies and they worked well for me, I used the 2nd wee of the day but perhaps try the expensive smiley face ones instead. Do you get any other ov signs?

Cups I'm still dancing here for your embies to divide x

Maybe that's a very long day indeed!

nearlyanurse · 01/08/2013 14:09

Cheapo t'internet ones indeedy, but have been using fmu - schoolboy error. I did a couple in the afternoon (while mr nurse was here when i was hoping for a sign to go at it).

Have only had the control line cups. Nowt else.

Think I've missed it this month. Try again next month of an afternoon. If that doesn't work, I'll try some fancy pants ones.

As for ov signs solars, I've given up. Tried recording them, but it was always so variable that I gave up. I also gave up on temping. Oft. And as much as I want a bfp, I can't get amongst monitoring cm. Give me a while longer though, and I'll be monitoring everything including the lunar cycle.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 01/08/2013 14:34

Nurse, if I'm honest, the easiest thing to do is go see your GP. At you've been trying over a year (always good to exaggerate) and say you're worried about ovulation. Then they'll write you up for 2 blood tests, then you'll know. On sticks are very unpredictable.

nearlyanurse · 01/08/2013 19:15

Hmm. I might wait until I'm settled down south and do just that maybs. How you feeling today chica? And how's the lovely cups?

BlindKitty · 01/08/2013 20:11

Well youve obviously all been brooking your socks off today!!!! Day went great! Nurse was lovely and didn't mind me asking and silly questions! So I should basically start tues of week after next! I have 3 cycles of iui on consecutive months. If they fail I go strait to ivf with no waiting lists! Finally feel positive for the first time in ages! Grin

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 01/08/2013 20:15

Wow Kitty that's great news :):) must be the day for it.

Back to Brooking for Cups and the emby 6 :):):):):):)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 01/08/2013 20:25

That's fantastic news Kitty!! So pleased for you.

Nurse, not feeling too great if I'm honest, the London heat today has nearly killed me. When is the big move down south?
