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 Sad sorry about you're af. I did think it might have been your month but its obviously next month

yorkie have you had your lesson yet? It's easier than it looks. Also the actual needles you inject with are super fine. I just rested them on the skin and let them slip in. I found my thigh easier than my stomach though

SidneyBristow · 22/09/2013 20:56

Charming I got the same ov induction page, yes the pessaries tidbit is much more unpalatable to me than the gonal-f shots, and those are daunting enough...nevermind the fact that if everything works and a pregnancy does happen, you have to keep using the pessaries for something like 12 weeks Shock Shock Shock can only imagine how DTD is supposed to happen for fun if there's some sort of pessary up there in the process of dissolving???? Hmm any ideas??

BlindKitty · 22/09/2013 20:57

sid same message as I sent to yorkie re the injections! Although you might not even need it of the clomid works!

Woah woah woah hold the phone....another diffed berry?!! puppy this is amazing news! I've known for almost 2 weeks now and I still feel normal apart from slightly sore boobs! Now go and tell dh!!!

Bunnygirlie · 22/09/2013 21:23

All this talk of pessaries and injections is now scaring me Shock

Gillster · 22/09/2013 21:30

Fab news Puppy! Sorry AF got you RP. Good luck with the clomid Sid. Hope you have a productive appointment with the GP Kuma, make sure you stress your age and add on 6 months to the amount of time you've been TTC. Glad you're back on the horse, so to speak Barking, hope your return to work is a bit more manageable. Lets have some more ironic BFPs berries! to any berries I haven't name checked.

PuppyMummy · 22/09/2013 21:41

bunny we have been trying a year and a half, offered ivf because I have high fh and low amh which can be an indicator of poor ovarian reserve (rubbish old eggs, older than their actual 33 yrs! were told to do it sooner rather than later.

Ha FUFC! ( worried I might jinx things saying that!)

hoping I still have a nice line when I poas in morning. am worried (irrational!) but still no af or usual cramps so fingers crossed!

Bunnygirlie · 22/09/2013 22:11

Keeping everything crossed for you puppy x

CatsCantFlyFast · 23/09/2013 07:00

FUFC! Puppy amazing news! Come and find the recently diffed berries in the helicopter thread in the pregnancy topic... We've all been through the same worries

PuppyMummy · 23/09/2013 07:05

Morning all poas again today (frer) got a nice clear line again. Presented it to OH who doesn't believe it either!!

Have 2 piss sticks left so we have decided to do another on Fri!

And on that note ill shut up about it in case I get evicted by bunny! Wink

funkymonk · 23/09/2013 07:41

That's brilliant puppy!

Congratulations Puppy! Love the FUFC, the copter is hovering nice and low so scramble aboard when you feel ready!

yorkiebilb · 23/09/2013 08:48

Fantastic puppy You've had the same diagnosis as me so give me hope! Out of interest, if you don't mind me asking, what were your fsh levels?

kitty not had a lesson yet, just waiting for AF to arrive. Was awake most of the night with cramps so only a matter of time before she appears!

Can't remember who asked about the pessaries but it doesn't just have to go up there. it can go up your bum I think! Sorry tmi first thing Monday morning!

RevoltingPeasant · 23/09/2013 09:51

Hi all- quick 10 seconds off work - congrats to PuppyMummy!!!!

Is that what you call an ironidiff?

thanks to all the people who condoled on AF. But at least I know I have a 14-day LP now, which is v v reassuring.

happylass · 23/09/2013 16:14

Afternoon all. Had my letter for an appointment with the consultant today - not until 28th November. Not too bothered with waiting seen as we not TTC at the moment. FF says AF is due on 30th but if my cycles are shorter then she could well be around at the time of the appointment. Is this a problem? Should I try to change it? Confused

barkingtreefrog · 23/09/2013 17:46

If it's anything like my appointment happy it won't matter. In fact I was on CD2 if I remember correctly, as I wanted to know whether to take the clomid right there and then! (I didn't, it was following DPs op so would have been a waste....)

It was just a talk with the consultant. I had the dildocam first (had already had the HSG a couple of weeks beforehand) but it didn't matter that AF was around for that.

I survived work today Grin. Now home and straight back on the laptop so must stop procrastinating and get my work done for tomorrow and definitely not divert to looking at fabric for a wedding dress.

PuppyMummy · 23/09/2013 18:30

yorkie sorry I have no idea! I have a copy in a draw, ill dig it out and check for you

BlindKitty · 23/09/2013 18:56

puppy it just goes to show you this infertility stuff is bollocks and never to take what the consultant says as gospel! You can come and hold my hand if you like! I'm still in denial too! Have you called the fc? Do you have a 6/7 week scan? X

BlindKitty · 23/09/2013 18:59

yorkie honestly don't worry about the injections. It'll make loads more sense once you've had the training

Bunnygirlie · 23/09/2013 19:25

Hello peeps, how was Monday?

SidneyBristow · 23/09/2013 19:38

Best Monday I've had in ages, how 'bout yours?

Kind of nervous though as tonight is clomid day 3 and I have what feels like the beginning of a massive cramp. Is this normal? Anyone?

Also, has anyone seen the thread by the lady asking if anyone else had had 'periods' during pregnancy? Good way to send a person's paranoia into overdrive!!

Foodylicious · 23/09/2013 19:41

Busy, busy, busy, but ok!

OH on long day today, finishes at 9pm, will get in 10.30 if he gets the bus, 9.30 if I pick him up.
Think I should pick him up as I need to entice him into bed again this eve Wink and maybe tomorrow just to be sure (have managed last 3 nights in a row Grin.
May be an occasion for rather silly or naughty pants!

How you doing bunny?

Bunnygirlie · 23/09/2013 19:55

Ugh sid threads like that can drive you crazy!!!

Hey foody check you out queen shagger Grin

I'm a bit blah today to be honest, feel like I'm getting a cold and still haven't found my positive vibes ref FC!

PuppyMummy · 23/09/2013 19:59

blind not rung the fc yet. waiting til I poas on friday til I do that! Not sure about a scan, doubt it 'cos we havent done any ivf aa such yet, just sperm and blood test and filled all the forms in. we were waiting til Oct to start.

Also got a colopscopy booked for next week so that will be (hopefully!) cancelled too!

Ill hold ur paw! I feel a bit more relaxed this eve but still not really believing yet!

BlindKitty · 23/09/2013 20:20

puppy how come you had a colposcopy booked? I had one once but for cervical ectrophian ?sp

PuppyMummy · 23/09/2013 20:26

Had one last yr cos of repeated dodgy smear tests, always normal after the second one but had a few in a row. biopsy last yr was normal so this is just a routine follow up
