GOod luck kitty and pip! And congrats, barking! Spectacular news.

Ahhhh congrats Barking lovely news. Loving all the fellow Berry brides to be . Have to say wedding planning does take your mind off TTC a little bit - at least it gives you something else to Google!!
Good luck today Pip and Kitty!!
Last full day of my hols today. Heading back to reality tomorrow. Boo hoo.

huge congrats barking! I've got a really romantic image in my head of dp kneeling in front of you, hair blowing in the wind and a little tear running down your cheek.

barking best news I've heard all week (since booms bfp anyway). We need details though.... Oh and god yes you should pimp!

rum sat in the waiting room (initially nervous as hell) now pmsl at your lost in translation link! Thanks!!!

rum waiting in the 'c*^% examination' department haha

Good luck today kitty and pip!

barking big congratulations!

Wang me, ladies

I've just been doing a group message with 2 friends, about whether or not to go to a hen night. Friend one replied back saying no, friend 2 replied 'me neither, and how is the morning sickness?'
So friend 1 has just phoned me to tell me she is pregnant.
The worst thing is, I was on holiday with her a few weeks ago and didn't twig at all. She just had a permanent headache so wasn't drinking.

I feel sick and also but also terrible for being jealous of a friend through no fault of her own

barking just seen your news! Amazing!

Congrats! All the best people have had surprise proposals this summer, y'know...

barking that's lovely news! Assuming you accepted??!!
spare that's a really hard way to find out, especially if you'd been with her on holiday. Don't feel bad for feeling bad, you're allowed. I had a similar experience a couple of months ago, where a friend texted me her news two days after we'd been to see fc (she didn't know that, of course) when we'd stayed with her fo a weekend a couple of months before, when she'd been diffed. I cried. Shitty shit shit.

Congratulations barking! Really lovely news!

Back from egg collection where they took 11 eggs.
However DH's sample wasn't as good as they might like and so they are doing ICSI where the take a sperm and inject it into the egg.

hugs spare that is a horrible way to find out. I'd be quite hurt.
pip all is go now! exciting!!!

2 birth announcements on fb today with accompanying photos. still hurts even if I am diffed. I should have been there already

I'm getting a headache and paracetamol is all I'm allowed. huh no fair. I just want to go to bed but I have a dentist appt in an hour where they won't be able to do anything for me. and dh wants us to go to the cinema after that.
Sorry, I'm a bit me me me today.

Quick drop in to say good luck blind, you definitely get the good star today for being a trooper.

pip sorry I didn't catch you before your procedure but congrats on 11 eggs! Sounds like the FC is taking good care of you with going with ICSI! One more big step forward towards a baby for you!!

And massive congrats to barking, how romantic!! Details please when you get a wifi break!!

Nothing big here for me today except feeling queasy and weird cramping last night; was actually surprised there was no blood - that's how bad it was, but I'm only 4-5dpo so have ow decided I'm a ridiculous symptom spotter and am bound to be disappointed on the 23rd when I test. Wanging myself, no need for anyone to suggest it

Excellent work Pip on the eggs. Fingers crossed they get jiggy with Mr Pip's swimmers.

I have managed to book in another day "21" blood test at the docs next week. It was a phone appointment with the GP and I was giving him an overview of all the tests I had had done. I very nearly said "dildocam" but just managed to hold back!

pip great news! When will you find out how many there are?

Tally what are you going to see at the cinema? I've been roped into seeing the new Ryan Gosling thing, which would be fine if it wasn't a bit of a gore fest! Alan Partridge would have been more up my street today.

In other news, I am SO BORED at work today that I just pimped with a OPK and got a line. So while on the plus side, there'll be more deed-doing today, it also means my LP is shortening again, because today is cd 15, compared with ov-ing on 13 last month. Grrrrr

I think we'll be going to see wolverine, or maybe Percy Jackson. we're nerds

Lovely news barking, enjoy the rest of your days away together!
Congrats on egg collection Pip and wishing you guys lots of luck x
Kitty hope the foof fiddling went OK.

Nowt going on here to report - waiting, waiting and more waiting. Not very patiently. Poor Mr Coconut.

lol @ Gills on the near dildo cam slip

Congrats Barking on your happy news!

Glad all went ok for you today Pip. Exciting that things are progressing for you.

Kitty are you there? Tell us how it went?!

Haha Gill! A dildocam slip up would have been most entertaining!

pip egg-cellent news! You must be very egg-cited!

kitty how did period cam go?

Why oh why does every period have to be so different to the last, mine has just stopped today after just 2 days, I usually get 3/4 days. And I only spotted for 1 day before when last month I had spotting for 4 days! I would just like some consistency!!!

Spare you lp length starts from when you ov.
Ovulation is a movable feast and can vary for any reason, stress, illness, to piss you off etc; however you lp tends to be a fixed length of time, rarely changing by much more than a day. So don't worry that you have ovd late, it will make no difference to you lp length.

As for us, we find out how many little embryos we have made tomorrow. They will call us at about 10am!

Whoop whoop I am egg-stremelly excited for you, keeping FX for you!

Hi guys, thanks for all your well wishes. So....after 2 1/4 years might finally have a reason for my infertility. My dildocam shows I have multi cystic ovaries (not polycystic) and thought it doesn't necessarily mean one is infertile it could be still affecting my ovulation. Also, people with mco are more likely to overstim with clomid (which I did). I always thought I ov'd fine but apparently my prog on my first day 21 test was too low (contrary to what my gp said!).

So, they've stopped my clomid altogether and put me on daily injections of menopur instead.

Finally have some sort of answer but a little annoyed that they've only just found out, despite me asking for a dildocam before and being told no. I knew I needed one. Just wish I'd trusted my intuition and not the FC!

pip good work with the egg collection! Sure the icsi will get enough swimmers! When do they do that?

FX now they know what may be the reason for your problems they can help you kitty
