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.

Oooh Too - when will you POA actual S? Lots of brooking going on here.

Keep - how very exciting that yours and Sweetie's snuggly brooking babies are very nearly here!

Hey everyone, so glad it's the weekend! It's DHs birthday tomorrow so we've been for a meal tonight! 'Twas yummy! Had some wine with the meal, and I don't drink wine, so feeling a bit tipsy and tired. But will have a go at posting! Finished making DHs birthday cake when I got home too, and in the process filled the kitchen with smoke, so not holding out much hope that it'll taste good!

I'm not too bad. If I'm not pg this month I'm going to have to do a lot of soul searching to find the cause of my foul moods - DHs birthday was threatened to be cancelled and his presents returned at least a couple of times Grin The moods could be explained by the 5:2 diet we've been doing though. I'm not good with lack of food

DHs results came back all clear which is great. I told him to ask for a copy of the results (Maybe's advise) but he still hasn't gotten around to it, and it think he's had enough nagging this week. I might try and casually mention it again next week Grin

Good luck with your appointment next week cups. DH just asked me to list some of the usernames on here and was very disappointed to hear yours was NO cupcakes or cocktails!! Grin

Hope you get a good reply to your letter scarlett, you definitely deserve another go by the sounds of things!

Maybe how's things going with you?

Exciting about ttc again musical! Grin

Not long to go now keep! Bet you can't wait! Do you feel ready/organised

Brooking for you Too! Here's hoping our rage is due to very imminent bfp's! Grin

Thinking of you Beedle x

BeedlesPineNeedles · 09/11/2013 08:03

Thanks for all your kind messages. We're doing Ok. We have a review meeting in Dec, with our Dr. I think we'll have to do the FET round first before they'll let us do our 3rd fresh attempt. I'm going to ask if they can do any more tests on us (fairly sure the answer will be no) and if they'll do an endometrial scratch ( again probably no).

I'll probably just lurk for a while, but I'll be keeping an eye out for news of the imminent sneeze births

CakePigeon · 10/11/2013 04:20

Glad you are doing ok beedle, be kind to yourself

fox glad MrFox's results are clear and hope you are having a lovely birthday weekend together

Are you going to poas again Too?

I'm at cd20 and I'm spotting which is disappointing as I've never had a short cycle so a bit concerned that my cycles are all messed up still after coming off the pill grr also I'm in a foreign country sans feminine hygiene products so I'm going to have to track some down now :(

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 08:47

Beedle glad to hear you are doing ok. I understand you lurking for now. Do let us know how the review goes. We will be here when you are ready to come back x

Too how's things? Have you found an agreeable pee stick?

Fox that's great that all the results are ok. I hope your DH had a good birthday. The 5:2 diet sounds like hell, no way could I do that! Tell your DH I used to be CupcakesAndCocktails (my favourite food and drink) I changed it a while back as I stopped drinking for 6 months and was eating really healthy to get into shape for IVF. I'm now back to no drinking again Sad

I've been working all weekend, I don't start until 12 today so I'm having a bit of a lazy morning in bed. Went to see Thor last night after work, it was ok. My DH enjoyed it, he loves all that stuff.

Anyone up to anything exciting?

Keep thanks for trying, I've no idea how to request to join. I tried searching for the group but obviously nothing comes up as it's a secret group!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 08:48

Cake boo to spotting, fingers crossed AF stays away. How long have you been off the pill? Are you away with work?

CakePigeon · 10/11/2013 09:00

Boo to working at the weekend cups when will you know if they will agree to move the date for you so you don't have to have another 3 month delay? Hopefully they will be helpful about it

No I'm on holiday :) I told DH I needed to get panty liners and he looked at me and said 'but you've got 2 in your handbag, how many does a woman need?' I give up!
I stopped taking it at the end of September so not that long ago really

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 09:00

Morning ladies, there's news over on grads :):)

OP posts:
EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 09:04

Cups I have had a go at adding you to the group as Keep is preoccupied (see my last post Wink ) anyone else need adding? I'm looking at you Geek.

OP posts:
NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 09:13

Lovely news Boo! Nothing's come through on FB yet but I've had a peek at the grads thread.

Cake where are you? I've got holiday envy. I need a break! I've got an appointment on Tuesday with one of the consultants so hopefully I'll find out then.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 10/11/2013 11:07

Oooh, how exciting! Will go peek into grads in a minute.

I shall poas tomorrow first thing if AF hasn't got me before then. I clearly ovved late, no matter what, so at least I'm getting better at spotting ewcm.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 10/11/2013 12:20

Cups I'm afraid when you left you may have ticked the box that said you can't be added again :( Maybe ask one of the admin to open the group for a few minutes while we get you back in?

OP posts:
TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 07:30

Okay, I may be pulling a Stacks.

GreenOlives · 11/11/2013 07:58

omg too! is that a very subtle way of announcing your bfp??!! Smile

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 08:03

It might be! I honestly don't know yet.

First thing this morning, I poas. It was negative. Had a shower, which took at least 15 mins. When I got out, I picked the stick out of the bin up and there was a v v v faint line. Evap line? BFP?

CakePigeon · 11/11/2013 08:21

Oh too how exciting!

Fox82 · 11/11/2013 08:42

Good to hear from you Beedle and glad you're doing ok Thanks

Congrats to Keep! Can't wait to hear all about it!

That's so exciting Too!! Keep us updated!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/11/2013 09:07

Exciting stuff Too!! When are we getting confirmation?!

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/11/2013 09:36

Tomorrow morning? Hopefully a better line will show up then!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/11/2013 09:39

I'll be waiting outside your bathroom door Wink

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 11/11/2013 10:22

Ooh Too v v exciting! Sounds promising. I'll be checking in first thing for the news Grin

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 11/11/2013 10:24

Hmm I don't remember what I did when I left the group Boo. I think sparks is admin. I'll ask her if she knows how to get back into the secret world!

musicalmrs · 11/11/2013 11:18

Too, so exciting! I will also be around tomorrow morning to keep an eye out for your news :-)

Of course, as keep has had her brooking baby, there's a space on the grads thread, so your BFP is guaranteed Smile

How's everyone else on this chilly Monday morning?

ControlGeek · 11/11/2013 12:20

Squee and double squee! A brand new brooking baby girl, and a sniff of a BFP - Thanks to keep and everything crossed for too doing a stacks

Beedle lovely, glad you and MrB are doing ok. We'll be here any time you want to delurk. Lots of love to you xxx

My first downreg appt has been confirmed - 10am Thursday 21st November. MrG and I may need to have various bloods taken as I think a lot of ours (HIV, Hep etc) are beyond the 12 month mark now. In fact they must be, because it was June last year that we first saw the clinic wrt doing our first round of IVF.

Sorry not to post more, my eyes are streaming from the flu and I can't read back any further.

musicalmrs · 11/11/2013 12:32

Glad you've got an appointment confirmed Geek, and that it's not too far away. Hope you feel better soon.. flu is so hideous.

Feeling mixed feelings about TTC now. The doom and gloom that hit me last time has returned! Gah. A rollercoaster even before we've started..!
