fox lol at the aloof newborn! Grin

geek has obviously not realised we're going to have an Indian summer!!!

Booked my next iui cycle day 2 scan into work diary today. Dh thinks I'm being pessimistic but surely it's best to be practical?

BlindKitty · 02/09/2013 19:04

Oh but still love what you've done with the place geek! I'll still have some hot chocolate though (whilst sunbathing)

musicalmrs · 02/09/2013 19:50

Definitely good to be practical Kitty - can't hurt Smile

Love the Fred Geek! Feels lovely and cosy :-)

May have bought some vitamins for DH and I to start our TTC prep today! Smile

Squeeeee!!! So when are you rejoining the fred musical??

kitty I love Autumn, it's my favourite time of the year. As soon as we tick over into September I start to look forward to long walks through piles of red and gold leaves. It does look like this amazing weather is set to continue for a little while though Grin

Does this mean AF has finally returned musical? How old is your little one now?

BlindKitty · 02/09/2013 21:15

music is this dc#2?

geek I'll have to use that one when trying to persuade Dh to come walking with me now I've given up exercise in the 2ww!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 02/09/2013 21:18

Ooh hi everyone, just got back from the Boo family hollibobs to find you moved while I was away ShockGrin who would like to fill me in on the gossip while I tackle the washing mountain? :)

Lovely new well stocked thread Geek

GreenOlives · 02/09/2013 21:49

I LOVE autumn too geek!
Lovely new fred! Grin

musicalmrs · 02/09/2013 22:30

Not just yet Geek... We've agreed December :) But that means we're three months away, so it's folic acid time Grin. Have bought us the same vitamins we were both on when we got the last BFP last time, so figure it can't hurt...

Loopy, no, no AF yet. However, the nurse reckons that's down to the pill I'm on plus BF - says it's quite common. We'll see what happens.. DD is 16 months now.

Kitty, yes! My DD was a brooking baby - was TTC for a while, but got my BFP in my first month as a brooker (the power of brooking!).

Welcome back from holiday Boo, did you have a good time? Don't talk to me about washing mountains...

Biscuitsandtea · 02/09/2013 22:34

Marks place....

BlindKitty · 03/09/2013 06:57

boo welcome back! Remind me where you went

GenericDietCola · 03/09/2013 07:53

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/09/2013 08:36

Solars · 03/09/2013 08:51

Marks place, lovely new thread Geek :)

Big waves to all.

ScarlettInSpace · 03/09/2013 12:11

Ooooh new fred 'ello Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/09/2013 14:06

I bloody lost you!! I nearly had a coronary!

Kitty brooking that appointment was made in vain. Ironic BFP is on it's way Wink

Musical that's very exciting!!!! Minimusical#2!

I also love the autumn. Though it's going to be 30 degrees here again on Thursday Hmm

hinkyhonk · 03/09/2013 18:24

I'd better introduce myself (aka hawthers) I was on one of the earlier antenatal brooking threads due to having a high risk pg with ds2 due to ds1 arriving very early and having a very long time in the nicu. ds2 was fine but next pg cpuld be high risk again. I've not had the pleasure of joining the conception threads so hello!

dh and I are considering whether definitely going to try for no.3 but won't decide start until the new year for timing issues re if it all goes pear shaped again but been lurking a little to try to decide if we can face giving it another go. Current thinking is definitely yes! So hello and brooking in reserve unil the new year

BlindKitty · 03/09/2013 18:56

boo of course no 'real' symptoms but plenty of 'made up ones' haha. Glad you had a nice time in Devon and hope you are perfectly rested!

solars Sept 11th (bad omen?) although we actually got engaged on Sept 11th as well so maybe a good omen?! Not holding out much hope but at least I can say I've tried it!

maybe I love your optimism

Right, I'd better go for my accupuncture burning £20 notes session. Lets hope I don't run any pigeons over on the way this time!

keepitgoing · 03/09/2013 20:54

Ooh musical that's great!

boo devon is almost cornwall, so you may need to poas despite k not being very big...

hawthersssssss!! hinkyhonk even Grin I remember you! So thrilled you will are considering trying for DC3, will be lovely to have you on the conception fred. I will be doing my IVF stimming in January, so you never know Grin

boo is there anything you would like to tell us? You were very close to Cornwall, you know and you know what happened to you there last time!

maybe no coronaries please, we are not equipped

No news here, other than I think we may have missed the boat this cycle. MrG just can't get used to shorter cycles, he needs a really long lead-up to get his mojo going. Me, I'm just panicking because my calculations for January were all based on long cycles!

Is he still on the HGW? Wink I think the effects lessen so maybe give him a month off it?

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 03/09/2013 23:10

Crikey, hopefully close doesn't count Shock Grin

He is keep, apparently it is still helping, he comes and goes with taking it - always at least 2 a day though. He has other issues clouding things at the moment.

boo Don't worry, I think the border has magical properties and you will be fine Grin

hi to hink, hopes kitty hasn't got bruises from boob squeezing yet...

Oooh from last fred fox aloe vera is indeed vile, but I have lost 8lbs since Thursday so worth it! And I figure if it was alcoholic I've drunk worse Blush

NoMaybeAboutIt · 04/09/2013 10:00

Hinky! I remember you!! Lovey to have you back! Are there going to be Morgan's joining us?!

Sarlett amazing weight loss! Can you start eating again soon?
