The Elderberry Pavlovas skipping down the yellow brick road of positivity, thread 13 - lucky for some?!?

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

[Boodle9]

Tum tee tum...sorry for disappearing! We had needy guests staying and I haven't had a chance to get much time to myself! Did get a quick lurk in early this morning to see Boom and Tally's news. Hooray! Release your grip on the BFP helicopter's rope as it flies over Preggo Island! (I have a mental image of all us Berries as actual Ribena style Berries clinging on for dear life only to lose grip and plummet into shark infested waters when AF arrives...)

Haycorn, I realise I'm wheeling back to Friday, but I had to comment on your (former) colleague's utterly ignorant and insulting comment! What a silly old boot! If it hadn't been for her retiring, I'd would be saying make a complaint about it!

Anyways, if you stalk charts, you might have spotted that I got a BFN on Friday. I haven't tried since but still no spotting or AF, which I am glad about. Being 13 dpo is amazing, seeing as I've never made even 10dpo before. I don't think it's going to come to anything though - absolutely no symptoms at all and I just feel like there should be!

[BlindKitty]

Right kids I'm back! End of part 2 of other people's babies weekend! Did think we should have my typo in the next thread but I'm guessing mn would remove it haha!

[BlindKitty]

Oh and I haven't updated my status yet as still toilet roll watching for the time being!

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Boodle not out of the race yet then! Told you before, symptoms do not a pregnancy make... Am making room for you in the jellycopter just in case

Kitty...still no AF??

Tally glad you've got a lovely nurse. I'm going to go to the doctor next week to get my progesterone checked and see if I can wangle an early scan.

[Boodle9]

I know you said that, Boom, I just can't quite convince myself of it! The BFN on Friday didn't really help persuade me either!!!

[Thundercatsarego]

Hi boodle - your silence has been driving merk mad!
So are you going to test again in the morning????

[Boodle9]

Hi Thunder...yeah, I am sorry for disappearing at a crucial time, but I didn't realise that I wasn't going to get a moment's peace this weekend!

I might test again if my temperature is still up!

[Bunnygirlie]

tally don't worry, I'm a terrible aim lol

boodle welcome back, berries were getting worried, yay on the 13dpo!

Quite a few of us still on LRW (loo roll watch) then!

[Thundercatsarego]

It's good boodle excellent lp work there! Come on girls, I'm rooting for all of you

not going to mention pink/brown cm sound classic ib as well as other things

[BlindKitty]

Yup but I pimped earlier and bfn so it's only a matter if time. Really wish it would hurry up now. After all day 1 of af is also day 1 of iui and I'd already psyched myself up for my day 2 dildocam scan!

[barkingtreefrog]

Boodle 13dpo?! Wow! BFN doesn't mean anything, it's not over until the AF lady sings!!!

Tally great news! Hope they look after you carefully, hope sickness doesn't spoil your holiday (or turn up at all, actually)

Can someone add me to the list please as I'm on my phone?

Barking ttc since Dec 2011, short LP, ridiculously light AF, on clomid.

And my news is still spotting. Not had my one day of unquestionable AF yet, but with me this doesn't necessarily mean anything at all. Still feeling very frustrated .

[Boodle9]

Yep, Bunny, very much still on loo roll watch! Nothing to report still.

Kitty, remind me how many dpo you are? Did you pimp with fmu?

Barking I can understand why you're frustrated! I hope something happens for you one way or the other soon so you can get on with enjoying your travels.

I've succumbed to googling pregnancy stats for false negatives at 11 dpo...this is bad. I've never had to worry about the whole test side of things before but now I feel a new obsession growing. Grrrrr!

thunder behave!

barking sorry things are still weird

[CharmingCats]

Ok, here's a new topic for you. DH says that when he gave his sample st the clinic they told him that the first bit of jizz is the most potent. He is now convinced that a 'mini squirt' (his term) is ok,due to the high potency. I'm not so sure. What say you, berries? This is quite relevant as he has managed two mini squirts, rather than full squirts. One last night on positive opk day and one this morning. Hmmmm.

[rumisyum]

Hello ladies. May I join you? Is there any room on the Chaise Longue of Limbo for another?

Although I feel much more like an Eton Mess or Gooseberry Fool than a lovely Berry Pavlova most of the time, I think I ace your entry requirements, being ancient (32) and failing resolutely at this trying to make a baby malarkey for three whole years. I'm very unlikely to instadiff on joining (I wish), and seem to be allergic to baby dust. As for special pots, I have many of those, but I'm not sure to which you might be referring.

Is there some secret initiation ceremony? Do I make the grade?

[Boodle9]

That's certainly something I've heard, Charming... I suppose a mini squirt is better than nothing, but my (unscientific) way of thinking is the more up there the better...

[Boodle9]

Hi Rum! Sorry, cross-posted there! I'm pretty sure there's no secret initiation ceremony although, now you mention it, I like the idea of making new Berries run a 'Gladiators' style gauntlet, whilst us old wrinkly berries attempt to block you with massive sausages!

On a more serious note, 3 years, eh? I presume you've already run a gauntlet of tests/dildocams, that sort of thing?!

[Bunnygirlie]

Ooh yes, I think we need an initiation ceremony, maybe we should make newbies dress up as a sausage

Welcome rum

[BlindKitty]

boodle I'm 14 dpo. It was fmu but I always have a wee in the night.

rum yes, you definitely fit the criteria! Come on in and tell us your story.

[BlindKitty]

Oooh we could get her to eat the sperm omelette????

[barkingtreefrog]

That's a little harsh kitty what if it got her pg? She wouldn't know who the father was!

Welcome Rum (great name by the way) tell us your story!

Boodle hold on in there. I'm now on day 4 of nothing but spotting, I'm sure I've usually had my one day of proper AF by now but trying desperately not to read anything into it. Were you on 50mg as well? Sorry, you've probably said but I can't remember.

[CharmingCats]

I agree boodle , but that's my lot!
Welcome rum !

[BlindKitty]

Oh yeah, I forgot that was the whole point of the omelette! damn it, I think I bunny and boodle have scared her off..

[Fox82]

Welcome rum! Wow this thread moves quickly! Huge congrats to the BFP's!!

I'm in for a long wait as only 1dpo
