Hi all. Just dropping in to say a quick hi to all, hope everyone is doing well.
choc that is still a good haul on ur eggs, remember it only takes one! ( that's what everyone keeps telling me and I know it's true but it's hard to accept isn't it). Crossing everything for ur phone call tomorrow- keep us posted x
AFM - had my first ever acupuncture today. It went ok and not painful in the slightest. He said he's concentrating on lifting my energy levels and giving my digestive system a boost. Night all x

Llw - best of luck for a i) good sleep and ii) good news from the embryologist.

It is quiet here; for my part, how many times can I moan that my "no wait" clinic has had us on the DE waiting list for 9 weeks before I bore you all to an early death? Wink

llw that's fantastic news! Keep us updated on how those embies do. What good timing for DH to take you out too, celebrations all round.

twinks good luck with the scratch. Let us know how it goes, I hope it's not too horrific x

fab is there any news?? I hope it's good!

brooker I hope you can wave goodbye to that horrible cyst!

Fabuluce · 20/09/2013 08:51

Wow Llw that's excellent news - go embies!

Twinks, good luck with the scratch - hopefully not as painful as Brooks

Smile

Brooks fingers crossed for you being bastard cyst free and that AF comes along as planned and yes I understood your mistake Wink

AFM well still no AF or Bfp - FFS. I've felt like absolute poo all week - aching, headache, knackered, womb ache, weird vivid dreams and nothing is happening. WTF??

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/09/2013 10:40

Morning buddies!

Sorry I am so in and out, my phone does not want to post for reasons best known to itself and I've been at work mostly. Last night was spent working my way through several packs of tissues and consulting Dr Google on the likely effects on implantation of the mother of all colds. The answer was NO effect. So now I am just feeling rubbish and a little sorry for myself. Yes, I am PUPO, lembie is on board and was an early blast, which is excellent on day 4.5 dr google told me so it's true, it was pretty for sure.

Hurrah for the 100% fertilisation rate LLW. Excellent news. And for going out for a nice boozy anniversary dinner!

Fingers crossed for dissolving cyst brooker. Will you try a FET next month now?

Keeping everything crossed for a BFP for you fab, that would be the lift we could all use.

So sorry for the no-waiting-list-endless wait DE-ladies!

Also choc the admin incompetence is just so awful. Did you get your scan for Sat organised? And wish same to you, why can't they do anything right the first time. I hope all goes well and you get to pick up your embie(s) soon!

I've lost track of lots of people's cycles a little. Who is PUPO? Who is stimming? And is anyone between EC and ET, except llw?

Fabuluce · 20/09/2013 10:47

Congrats Driz - how far along in the 2ww are you? Exciting (apart from the mother of all colds) times Smile

Fabuluce · 20/09/2013 10:48

Ps Driz - sure the mother of all colds is an excuse for sickie time and then you have the double whammy of incubation and cold fighting to sit at home watching box sets!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/09/2013 10:56

ET was Wed, AF expected next Sat, OTD Sept 30th, but as it is a natural cycle I should know on Sat (and if no AF test on Sun).

nobeer · 20/09/2013 11:56

I'm excited for you Driz. Are you allowed to have half a paracetamol to make you feel better? If not I prescribe lots of honey and lemon, and some homemade chicken soup. Have you seen the soup thread? That'll cheer you up.

Stillhopingstillhere · 20/09/2013 13:22

Yay drizzle, early blasts have really high success rates don't they? I'd be cautiously optimistic!
