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

RP Boo to AF. Hope you have found something to indulge with to keep spirits up.

yorkie I was planning a prettify day too but I'm a lazy bugger... Long hot shower followed by catch up on Law and Order and Dorset Cereals Chocolate Oat Granola. So not pretty but actually feel relaxed for first time this week!

yorkiebilb · 22/09/2013 13:48

bunny I watched that the other week and filled up too. DH kept telling me to turn it off but I couldn't help myself from watching it!

SidneyBristow · 22/09/2013 14:13

Boo RP, sorry she got you. Take it easy today Thanks

Charming your class sounds like they'll keep you on your toes; your colleagues sound amazing and just think, it's still so early in the school year and you've already done something that could make a massive difference in a little one's life (psych referral). I hope the workload eases up a bit once the start-of-year stuff gets taken care of, and your gang of naughties realizes you mean business Thanks

Yorkie I started the clomid last night. All my life I'd thought I'd be the one to get pg accidentally, and here I am...bunny glad you understand (well wish you didn't have to but you know what I mean). Hope yoru sore throat clears up! Realized last night on the train that I'd have to give myself shots of gonal-f....nearly shat myself. What site is best, thigh, rear or tum? God this is so unfair. Biscuit

Boodle no idea on what the high temp could mean, but try not to get hung up about it - it's the pattern that counts, not any particular reading on any particular day. I think! Grin

All kitted out in my comfies, DTD just for fun and about to do some errands with DH, then lay around for the rest of the day. Bliss! Feel like sending a certain someone a bouquet of flowers for her part in making my life happy and peaceful again.

Boodle9 · 22/09/2013 14:46

Sid, I was planning to just discount the high temp as an anomaly, but they were still up this morning. Urk! However, got a positive OPK today and still have ovary ache, so don't think I've popped yet. Very weird that the temp is up though; not seen that before and this is my 27th cycle!

Bunny, American sitcoms are bloody dangerous for TTC blues. Scrubs always gets me where Carla is stressing out because she's been trying for 2 months...!!! Then the episode where JD leaves the hospital and seeing his future before him; lovely pregnant bump followed by baby of course. Sad

PuppyMummy · 22/09/2013 14:48

ladybunnikins · 22/09/2013 16:35

Congratulations Puppy! Was it you that was having IVF soon? Is this an actual real life pre-IVF BFP? Shock

PuppyMummy · 22/09/2013 16:39

Bunnygirlie · 22/09/2013 17:09

Congratulations puppy! I'm a fairly new berry but I know how much it means when there's a berry graduation. Fabulous news.
Haven't had chance to catch up on thread yet. Will read back over this evening after my road trip back from the 'rents to home.

Congratulations puppy! Fab news! Flowers

mrswalker13 · 22/09/2013 17:37

Brilliant news puppy

barkingtreefrog · 22/09/2013 17:49

Puppy congratulations!!!! A line is a line and you've got two strong ones!! Believe it!! Grin

Been away camping for the weekend and had a couple of glasses of wine on Friday night. A good dose of fresh air and some good company and I'm almost feeling human again. Back to work tomorrow I think.

charming I've been there with the nightmare class. One of the reasons I've got to be 100% before I go back is one particular child in my class who was excluded for a day while I was off sick (physically assaulted no less than 4 adults, including the head). Feel free to pm me for a rant. (Or even to bash ideas against, I'm a senco).

Sorry it really was AF RP it's especially horrible when your cycle is longer than expected and you can't help but get your hopes up despite the bfns. I had a 37 day cycle when the previous cycle had been 25 days. It was before I started temping and I was absolutely convinced the tests were wrong Thanks . That's my answer to the medical professionals who tell me temping etc doesn't help as it causes unnecessary stress. For me with irregular cycles it's exactly the opposite. If I didn't know when Ov was and how long my LP was I'd be stressed every time my cycle was longer than 25 days, and far more distressed every time AF arrived 'late' than I am anyway!
Professionals. Pah.

Bunnygirlie · 22/09/2013 17:58

barking so pleased you are feeling a bit better Smile

I am still trying to get my head round the 'it's not happening naturally' situation, it might take a while me thinks!

SidneyBristow · 22/09/2013 18:02

Fabulous news Puppy, congrats! I believe this is what's called a FUFC (eff you fertility clinic) BFP!! Well done!

PuppyMummy · 22/09/2013 18:36

sydney that is brilliant!

thanks for the kind messages. still dont believe it. still expecting af to arrive but so far nothing!

bunny that is such a lovely message! I will send u bfp vibes and cross everything it is your turn next Smile

IamKuma · 22/09/2013 19:39

puppy amazing, congrats. As Sid said, FUFC !!! I was actually wondering this weekend how many berry BFPs had been pre-fertility treatment?

bunny, boodle, I've never been a great Friends fan but Scrubs, yes. I remember feeling emotional about Carla trying to get pregnant even before we were TTC! I'm not sure I could watch it now!

RP so sorry that AF arrived Flowers; I hate it when your get your hopes up and your cycle is getting longer, but do try and look on the bright side if it means your LP is longer than you thought.

I've just had two consecutive months where my cycles were 28 days, they have been 26 days for as long as I can remember but I didn't get any spotting those two months. Can't say the same for this month though, spotting already at CD18 Hmm.

Got appointment with GP coming up on Tuesday so need to see if I can get on track for a FC referral. GP seems to be ancient; checked out her details and she started practicing before I was born. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing......

Have a happy Sunday evening Berries Smile

Bunnygirlie · 22/09/2013 19:47

FUFC - brilliant!!!

puppy Smile well it's been one hell of a past year! can I ask why you were about to have ivf?

boodle kuma not sure why I watch Friends lol - it's either Phoebe having triplets, Rachel having a baby or Chandler and Monica struggling to have babies?!?!? But I still love it!

CharmingCats · 22/09/2013 20:11

Yay to puppy and her FUFC!
barking. I will get in touch about the lovelies in my class, when I have the energy! Thank you.
FC ( same one as sid ) sent through some info on ov induction that mentioned vaginal pessaries....gulp! Anyone on clomid using these?
