The Elderberry Pavlovas and the eternal hope for a fresh, springy and healthy Palace of the Child! (thread 15)

[Bunnygirlie]

Here we go again.....

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 6+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Oh bugger bunny that's annoying, but as you say hopefully it'll be done by Weds and then you're onto the next cycle following the op.

How annoying!! Hopefully it won't interfere with op.

I'm also being all mememe right now, because I can't decide whether I OV or not!! It's CD15 and I have had a distinct + on the OPK which then appeared to fade again, but my temps don't indicate OV

wtf...?

Chart link RP?
Bunny, any update?

RP chart

Thanks, Merk Was rather hoping you might be around not that I'm exploiting your expertise

RP I wouldn't panic until tomorrow yet. It can take up to 2 days to O after the peak of LH so is highly possible you will see your lowest temp tomorrow (indicating O tomorrow) or a temp rise tomorrow (indicating O today/tonight).

We're you using OPKs twice a day? Am interested to know if Sunday evenings OPK was positive too.
Remember that a positive OPK does not indicate O directly, and O can actually be up to 3 days after the last positive OPK.

Oooh thanks Merkin. Yes, I used OPKs once a day on CD9 and 10 and upped to first thing upon waking and right after work.

I had v faint line Friday, more positive line Sat am and darkish line Sat pm, which then kind of stayed for Sunday and faded out this am. So okay, if I OV CD17 last month (which I did) this would kind of fit.....

Phew! Thanks.

Afternoon all. Been AWOL over the weekend as DP went to North Wales with work and I tagged along and not even for shag week purposes for a change!!. Had no Internet though so haven't been able to keep track of what's going on. What have I missed?
Bunny isn't today rather a special day in the history of the Berries? Where's the party??

A special day? Intriguing! Always keen on a party cranks up stereo

OMG happy you are so right!!!

THE BERRIES ARE 1 TODAY!!!!!

Happy Birthday us! Somebody blow up some balloons, I have and

A whole year, it's been a pleasure ladies

P.s. all ok here, op still happening

Happy birthday berries!
I'm not sure when I joined, December I think.

Yay I love a party

Happy Birthday Berries

yay bunny thats good news and one in the eye for bloody AF!

Happy Birthday Berries!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay bunny!
foody how long did it take to put in all those emoticons?!
Happy Birthday Berries! We better all be graduates by the time 2nd birthday arrives!

Oooh happy birthday berries! I think I joined in jan or feb and I'd have been lost without you all

Yay I am rather relieved! Didn't sleep a wink last night!

Anybody for the conga? Or spin the bottle lol

Oooo, I've just walked in on a party!!! Don't mind if I do .

I'm feeling very chuffed with myself as I just joined a running club tonight . Went on their 'beginner's run' and it was 11.5km with 186m of elevation!!! Not what I was expecting from the 'slow group'!!! Now on sofa with chocolate. And ice on my knees.

Well done you barking

I need to quit the gym as I never go and it's such a waste of money!

Clatters in fashionably late. Who would expect anything less? I am, essentially, nocturnal.

Happy Berry Birthday to you all.

I got a lovely present.

AF.

Bunny and Boodle I got the lovely gift of AF today too. We are obviously spending too much time together if we are all in sync!

Omg! We're in sync!!! BFFs for ever!!!

At least I've got FC in a few days. I'm refusing to do another 3 months of clomid.

Boodle, did you have any monitoring on clomid? Btw, after 3 rounds they tried to put me on another 3 but I refused and that's when they put me on the iui/ivf waiting list and then I still took another few rounds behind her back anyway for all the good it did

Oooh Berry cycle buddies

Ooh boodle FC appt excellent, what have they said is the next stage for you?

I have had another night of not sleeping much, think my mind is somewhere else! This time tomorrow I will be starving myself

What time is your op and when are you nil by mouth from Bunny?

Ooh a party! Happy birthday Berry Thread! Should we all have a small glass of or not tempt fate and stick with tonic water masquerading as a g&t? I really miss the days when I could have a drink without feeling conflicted about it!!

Here's a conversation starter: what is your favorite time of the month? or your least favorite? I was thinking about it today and honestly can't come up with an answer that doesn't make it sound like all parts of the month are in the crap category!! Trigger shot was 1 week ago tonight, and LC (lovely consultant) said I might ov naturally on my own, or 36-40 hours later as a result of the shot, so I could be 7DPO, or 5, who knows. I think for me, this is my least favorite time: I quietly symptom spot and count the days til I can test, then get depressed, then move on with a new plan.

Boodle if necessary (please God let it not be!!) I'm going to do 1 more round of Clomid and then on to IVF. I'm a bit concerned though bc I genuinely felt off/in discomfort/in pain during this last round, and I'm thinking IVF drugs can't be any less potent....? Weren't you the Berry who said she felt crampy on Clomid? Did it last all 3 rounds for you?

DH and I are planning to start researching clinics in the next couple of weeks Feels so final and I'm not even sure how to go about it apart from who has the best statistics, and which ones would be easiest for me to get to. Ideas? Anyone out there happy with theirs and would recommend them?

Bunny your appointment tomorrow will go swimmingly; I know you're nervous but everything will go fine and it'll be over before you know it
