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

thunder well in theory I should come on on wed, making it a 28 day cycle so obviously shorter than the 33-39 days I'm used to so less time until round 2. Although the nurse did say the meds may delay af (which will obviously make me go out of my mind with anxiety, I should pre-warn you!)

Bunnygirlie · 09/09/2013 22:35

To clarify nobody was ever booted! A few of us mentioned that chatting about prams for their babies when we were struggling to even get pg was a little insensitive, some appeared to get the hump and set up their own thread.

barking hope that the advice people are giving is helpful, lovely to hear such helpful caring berry stories x

Thundercatsarego · 09/09/2013 22:39

Hmm that's confusing blind. So there's the theory that it'll be shorter but also the risk it'll be delayed. Hmmm

I never felt booted Grin but it was definitely time to move our pram-talking asses to antenatal and leave you lovely TTC ladies to it. Grin Grin

We are doing it again now by dragging our feet in moving to postnatal but it's hard to leave when you like everyone you're leaving behind.

BelissimaLol · 10/09/2013 04:11

I meant booted in a nice friendly way by the way. And yes we are doing it again Grin.
Maybe that's why the newly pg ladies are scared to join us! We're too much about babies and not enough about pregnancy. Shame on us!
Anyway enough about us. Lets hope for good news for barking tomorrow huh?

rumisyum · 10/09/2013 06:16

Morning!

Best of luck for your scan today, barking. There's been so much wisdom from the other ladies already, I've got nothing to add, but I'm thinking of you.

Boom the courgette cake recipe is here. (Ignore her hideous picture of it!) It's from How to be a Domestic Goddess if you've got that, and it's delicious!

Kitty, rubbish about the bfn. When is AF due?

Yorkie, ugh, sorry about all the confusion! Sounds like you've worked out a good plan for yourself, though. And your FSH came down a bit, so whatever you tried must have been helpful? Or at least not a hindrance!

Hope everyone has a better day today. Brew and Cake all round.

Boomgoestheweasel · 10/09/2013 06:28

Popping in to say thinking of you this morning barking, whatever the outcome we are all here for you xxx

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 06:41

Thanks rum.
I'm terrified. Had just about calmed myself down ready to sleep last night when DP said 'oh no, don't look at fb' which is a stupid thing to say Our mates just had their twins. Just as I was almost coping. It broke me, that and the crying of the newborn baby next door Sad . I just sobbed, and sobbed.
I think I'm going to need fb cold turkey for a while Sad .
I'm going to need berry power to pull me through this morning. Really not looking forward to the waiting room of pg woman.

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 06:42

x-post Boom, thank you.

CatsCantFlyFast · 10/09/2013 06:54

Thinking of you too Barking. I am hoping against hope its not bad news for you, but if it is the berries will be waiting with all the support in the world x

happylass · 10/09/2013 07:21

Barking just to echo what everyone else has said - thinking of you today and sending lots of love x

PoppySeedBun · 10/09/2013 07:30

barking fx for you - hoping for good news.

When I MCed, I just wanted to shut out the world and not deal with anyone - even on FB - for a few days, so make sure you do that if that's what is needed.
Re: Clomid, yes, I carried on as I already had a prescription for 6 months worth. I did let the FC know, as I had let them know I was PG, and they want to know for their records.

yorkiebilb · 10/09/2013 07:36

Thinking of you barking

Thundercatsarego · 10/09/2013 07:41

Another hand to hold here barking, thinking of you Thanks

Bunnygirlie · 10/09/2013 08:08

Not a good start to the day here, pink when I wiped Sad i came out of bathroom and DH tried to be sweet and said Happy Anniversary + 1 and I blurted out its not very happy and burst into tears Sad Sad
I knew it was coming, I always do, so why am I always so upset, it's no surprise!?!

Now I feel bad having a woe is me moan when barking is going through hell, hugs for today lady x

Thundercatsarego · 10/09/2013 08:14

Oh bunny Sad
Are you sure it's the start of af?

SidneyBristow · 10/09/2013 08:36

barking thinking of you Thanks

Bunnygirlie · 10/09/2013 08:46

I think so thunder I tend to get a bit of spotting a few days before the witch arrives proper!

Thundercatsarego · 10/09/2013 08:49

Oh arse bunny its just not fair Sad

So when is your appointment? You do have one don't you?

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 09:35

Still waiting for the scan.....

CatsCantFlyFast · 10/09/2013 09:39

Barking I would be screaming at people by now so I hope am sure you are much calmer than I would be. Can you use the time to annoy the pregnant ladies (who will all have full bladders) by pouring yourself lots of glasses of water and making sure the running water sound is very loud as you do so? (Potentially inappropriate to attempt to make you smile at this point). Hugs (())

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 10:28

It was the worst news Sad . Didn't seem to help that I was expecting it.

happylass · 10/09/2013 10:36

Oh Barking I'm so, so sorry. Between lessons but didnt want to read and run. Is your DP there with you for the day? Take the time you need to grieve and take care of yourself. As always we are here when you need us Flowers xxx

Boomgoestheweasel · 10/09/2013 10:36

Barking I'm so sorry, expecting it doesn't cushion the blow at all when you finally get that news. Take some time for yourself, cry as much as you need to, make sure DP is there and support each other. It's horrible, today is the worst and the next few weeks will be tough, but I promise it does get better eventually. Completely understand if you want to take yourself away from MN for a while, but equally we're here for you if you need us xxx
