Your last thread got somewhat derailed so I thought I would treat you to a lovely shiny new place full of real open fires, fluffy blankets and an aga for baking bread and warming soups and stews. Back on with the job in hand ladies, lets have a round up of who's doing what and when.

geek what a nightmare!

beedles big brooking for Monday!

Well I've finally spoken to my boss & we've reached a compromise, I will take Christmas off as planned and go back on 2nd & 3rd to do handovers. He is actually off all that week anyway so will be dead quiet couple of days Halloween Grin and I don't have to take them unpaid [which I was planning for] so looks like I start my new job on the 6th Jan Halloween Grin

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 18/10/2013 18:12

Ooh, I'm so Angry for you, stupid ineffective bloody people!! On a plus, your meal last night sounded really lovely :) hope you had a good birthday.

Scarlett I know its not helpful, but I did have to chuckle at the immaturity of your sulky boss Halloween Grin

Beedle so happy you have arrangements made that your DH can do too :) I am crossing everything and brooking like a crazy lady for this cycle!!

Not much to report from Chez Boo, K has started to wean on to proper food, and she loves it!

How's everyone today? I keep getting the urge to POAS and check the lines are still both there... We have a day out at the PILs though, so hoping it'll take my mind off it a bit.

Sorry AF turned up Scarlett, you should make sure you have lots of fun on the company dime at the races.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/10/2013 10:38

Scarlett boo to AF but amazing yore going to be rinsing the expenses!! Champers anyone??!!

Ooh Stacks I know what you mean. Luckily after the IVF o only had 4 tests in the house. Once they were gone, they were gone! Though I distinctly remember before my 8 week scan walking past a boots and having a massive urge to by a stick. Just to check Grin

Fox82 · 20/10/2013 20:01

Well AF has turned up yet again Halloween Angry. Well at least I can have my day 3 test tomorrow at the hospital when I take Mr F's sample in I guess! Halloween Hmm

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/10/2013 21:10

Fox82 · 20/10/2013 21:26

Haha very true Maybe Halloween Grin

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo · 21/10/2013 08:29

Bloody AF, what a bitch, sorry to hear she's landed with you Fox but like Maybe said, there is a lot to be said for doing the daily commute with a jar of man juice in your pocket Halloween Grin

keepitgoing · 21/10/2013 08:43

oh fox :( Why did AF not get the message!! Anyway, you have a plan now, so

beedle huge good luck for egg collection today - brooking for lots of good juicy ones, and that MrB's sample goes well. thinking of you - let us know how you get one x

Stacks · 21/10/2013 09:00

So sorry AF got you Fox. She just can't take the hint that she's not wanted!

Beedle brooking everything goes well with egg collection today.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 21/10/2013 09:08

Good luck for today Beedle, can't wait to hear about the golden eggs x

ScarlettInSpace · 21/10/2013 09:28

Brooking for beedle today x

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 21/10/2013 09:44

Beedle good luck to you and MrB today. Brooking all goes well xxxx

Fox sorry to hear about AF, at least you have a plan now. That BFP will be yours soon Smile

How is everyone? I've got a 13 day stretch at work starting tomorrow with one day off next Saturday. I'm dreading it Hmm

No AF yet for me, I'm on cd 30. I'm not even sure I've ovulated this month. I did get a peak on my CBFM but I haven't had any cm or ovulation pain. Also my boobs normally get really sore about a week before AF but they are completely normal. No way am I PIAR though, I refuse to torture myself anymore that way! I'm sure AF will turn up, I'm just worried my body still isn't back to normal yet.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo · 21/10/2013 09:45

Ooh Beedle completely forgot, sorry lovely. Brook brook brooking for you and Mr B today!

Fox82 · 21/10/2013 10:21

Thanks everyone!

Good luck for today Beedle!

13 days working sounds horrible Cups Halloween Shock I hope you get a nice few days off after that! How long will you leave it before PIAR?! Exciting! Halloween Grin

musicalmrs · 21/10/2013 11:10

Brooking for you today Beedle Smile

So sorry to hear about AF Fox. It'll be the last one you see for months, of course :-)

Cups, eeek at 13 days. Hideous :-( How mysterious about AF..

BeedlesPineNeedles · 21/10/2013 11:15

We got 9 eggs and Mrb's sample was fine too. No request that he performs twice this time :o I'm now home resting and Mrb has gone off to work. We're back in on wed for ET and the Dr has put me on a double dose of crinone, so hopefully AF won't turn up early or ever this time.

fox sorry AF turned up for you

cups sorry that your body is playing tricks on you, random odd cycles are a bit annoying. Hope you don't get too tired out with all that working.

Oh and I POAIC on Sunday after my trigger shot and was quite surprised at how pale the line was considering I should have had quite a lot of hcg going round my body. And it took a while to come up Shock

ControlCreeeaaak · 21/10/2013 11:18

beedle massive brooking luck for you today, I have everything crossed in a good collection/fertilisation rate for you.

cups It's so rotten when your body does different things to normal, isn't it? Do you know when AF should be due, based on the CBFM peak?

Sorry to hear about AF turning up at your place fox, I hope you manage to get shot of her quickly.

Found out from my GP this morning that they can't fund my prostap. She will write to the gynae dept of the hospital but I don't hold out much hope there, if I can't get it via either my NHS IVF contract or my GP not least of all because she will be writing to twunty consultant and his super-twunty secretary so looks like I need to find a few hundred quid to throw at this next cycle.

AF is looking like she will arrive as expected tomorrow, given last night's night sweats and my foul mood today. Still need to wait a couple of weeks before I find out whether I will down reg from November or December though, as the clinic said to call back early November.
