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!

Bunny, I think you're just going to have to put up with me being a weekend / school hols berry! I find it quite difficult to get on during the week for any length if time as I'm trying to get my head round my new role and also still keeping on top of the day-to-day stuff; planning, marking, etc.

I'm closer to 31 than 30 now so perhaps Birdy is the baby! In which case, I don't know which of the others I could be...I'm not ginger, posh or sporty!

Bunnygirlie · 19/10/2013 16:51

Oh RP sorry about AF

I forgive you yorkie! Hope you are feeling better! And hope its not AF on her merry way.

Don't ever leave kitty not unless you take us with you! I see the berry copter is nearly full and may be landing in grads land soon, it makes me Sad that I haven't been able to catch up!

Ok boodle I'll try and cope just don't leave for good!

yorkie cramps mean nothing, especially around implantation! Don't give up hope just yet. Re doing a second (IF you need to), the nurse told me iui is likely to work either the first or second time (even though I was funded for 3).

bunny I'm not going anywhere, not til at least you're all diffed Smile

Thundercatsarego · 19/10/2013 17:20

Hi all. I guess my poppings in aren't appreciated any more

Hello birdy .

rp sorry about the bleeding. Crap.

And yorkie still got fx for you x

yorkiebilb · 19/10/2013 17:22

Thanks for your positivity kitty my lp is 12 days so the cramping is pretty standard for me! Will let DH know about what your nurse said though. We've got a follow up appt with fc a week on Monday so will discuss our options then.

Forgot to say rp read what your DH said to you about trying next month and thought it was a lovely thing to say!

DH has gone out so I'm spending the evening laid on the sofa. Bliss! What's everyone else doing?

yorkiebilb · 19/10/2013 17:31

What?! Of course you are thunder!

Bunnygirlie · 19/10/2013 18:12

Yay kitty stay stay stay! And you too thunder I feel awful for forgetting you, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese forgive me!

yorkie the clock has struck 6 so it's Wine time Grin This evening it's a bit of strictly and maybe a film, perhaps Argo and a curry!

We've had chippy and haribo - oops! Just watched 1st episode of walking dead and bread proving nicely Smile

Gillster · 19/10/2013 19:32

Bunny - Argo is great, saw it last Sunday.

RP - pants that AF got you. At least you have some positives on the shagging horizon though.

Boodle - it's tough trying to DTD when ill. I was the same last week although one positive was plentiful EWCM due to the cough syrup I was taking.

About 6/7 DPO here and first cycle of clomid. We got our FC appointment notification today - 5th Nov!!! I have pre op appointment for fibroid removal on 8th Nov and actual op on 20th so pleased the wheels are turning. Also booked trip to States on Boxing Day for 2 weeks so all go!

Foodylicious · 19/10/2013 20:23

Just popping in to say hi to, have brought doughnuts to share, but will keep nasty cold germs to myself - know just how you feel boodle Sad - I am still in PJ's, spent most of the day in bed, feeling a bit better this eve Smile.
bunny enjoy your Wine and Argo if you watch it, it is ace! We had pasta (again!) and OH has been in bed for at least half an hour having fallen asleep on the sofa strait after tea. Rocking saturday night.
Sorry about AF rp, good on your OH for being so great!

CharmingCats · 19/10/2013 21:55

I'm still here too! I'm going to have to be a weekend/school holiday berry too, I'm afraid.
Hello birdy. I'm also a spotter with a questionable lp. Hoping to start clomid as soon as af arrives. Brown spotting today, so looks like she's on her way!
Feeling rough too. Lots of germs going round at the moment. Tuck yourselves up, berries!

Gillster · 19/10/2013 23:34

I think my nick name would be ancient berry due to me being the oldest.

Morning!

Yep Argo and the Wine was ace!

What are peeps up to today?

OP posts:
BlueBirdy · 20/10/2013 10:38

Morning all!

Got family visiting so I don't have as much time here as I would like..

I'm only just 30, so guess I would be baby - boodle you have a 'boo' in your name, so guess you could be scary Smile if bunny doesn't mind being posh instead! Gill you would be sporty!!! hehe, ok enough...

Thanks Merk - will be googling that as soon as i get a chance! Got my letter to make an appointment yesterday! But still haven't had a chance to read it properly! Gotta start on the roast now, and entertain the family - nice day to the rest of you!

CatsCantFlyFast · 20/10/2013 10:46

Yorkie are you still in the 2ww? when is otd??

PuppyMummy · 20/10/2013 11:16

bunny the copter thread is staying where it is! were not off to the grads thread for a good while!!

BlindKitty · 20/10/2013 11:25

puppy phew!

Boodle9 · 20/10/2013 11:41

Morning all! (Just about.) how is it Sunday already?! I've got so much to do today but instead if actually doing it, I'm just finding things to distract me on the internet.

Given the number of berries that we have, I think we'll need some new spice girl-style nicknames anyway. I might claim bitter spice or jealous spice!

barkingtreefrog · 20/10/2013 12:04

^^

I'm not really back yet, cd46 and no sign of anything. Feeling slightly more balanced after the zombie run yesterday and a bike ride this morning but still Angry /Envy /Sad at every mention of children/babies/pregnancy in any context whatsoever. Confused

.

yorkiebilb · 20/10/2013 12:38

Morning all!

I'm due on Tues merk as normally have 12 day luteal phase but have read that taking additional progesterone supplements can cause AF to arrive earlier or later so who knows! Not getting excited as af cramping started a few ago and boobs less sore today which are all my signs that AF is fast approaching!

Boodle9 · 20/10/2013 13:40

I think 'jealous' is probably more on the money for me anyway.

Still feeling full of cold but I need to pull it together to get some futile DTD action going on some time today. Remember that friends episode with Monica and her cold; that'll be me today!

Boodle9 · 20/10/2013 13:41

Naybe I should put dibs on snotty berry too...

Bunnygirlie · 20/10/2013 15:08

Puppy yay don't stray too far and keep that copter ready for the rest of us Smile

Perhaps I could be Moody, Moany or Whingey Berry?!?!?

Hugs barking and Thanks

Hey snotty boodle berry that ep of friends makes me laugh! Feel better soon x

Wandered up to the pub for lunch so now need to think about doing something, might get out the holiday clothes just in case we do book a holiday tomorrow Grin

yorkiebilb · 20/10/2013 15:27
