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!

No don't leave me in peace :) I like that someone else is optimistic though I should actually do some work

thanks for that, will open link later!!

Bunnygirlie · 15/11/2013 08:25

Oh dear RP it ain't over till its over though!

kitty I'm sure I'm just over thinking it but when she brought the needle out I did panic a tad!

Lol at pad of pessimism!

I need the yellow brick road of positivity ready for the new year jabbing! I hope I only miss one cycle, I will be gutted if I miss two!

Oh my goodness berries, somehow I've got a bfp this morning! Cycle 12. Can't quite believe it. Terrified about another miscarriage and also as they still haven't given me much info on the thrombophilia other than take aspirin.

Woo hoo Funky! Ace news.

SidneyBristow · 15/11/2013 15:21

Yay Funky! I saw the news on the FB thread earlier but forgot to swing by here to give you a huge Berry high-five and tell you CONGRATS! Thanks I know it's a little irrational as we've all been trying different lengths of time and have a wide variety of issues that may/may not factor in to TTC success, but it always gives me hope when a Berry gets knocked up, like a win for the team puts me that much closer to a BFP. so thank you Thanks for giving me a bit of hope as we all head into the weekend!!

Foodylicious · 15/11/2013 15:53

CharmingCats · 15/11/2013 19:37

Congrats funky ! Chuffed for you.
How are you today lady ?
So, so, so......had scan and folly has gone. I've ov by myself!! Looks as tho it was quite recent, prob yesterday. Dtd last night as told, so there's a glimmer of hope, although I know it'd have been better the day before.

barkingtreefrog · 15/11/2013 20:37

Congratulations funky hope the next few weeks are really busy and time goes as quickly as possible.

Good news charming, fingers crossed.

I need berry power. On a hen do (yet another one). Staying in apartments and in with takeaway tonight. I know 4 of the girls here tonight fairly well, 2 not at all. One of those two (a bridesmaid) is not drinking because she is pg. It took me off guard as I hadn't even considered it was going to be a problem this weekend. I thought I'd be able to deal with it. None of the girls I know are aware about my mc. I debated telling them while it was just us in the room earlier in case I needed help steering the conversation away from babies, but didn't want to talk about. Now I'm on my own in the bedroom sobbing because the whole conversation for the last 10 minutes has been about her pg and the scan, and how big the baby was and how they heard the heartbeat at such an early scan and all I could think about was my scan and how I saw the baby but never heard a heartbeat Sad .

Boodle9 · 15/11/2013 20:54

Funky - big congrats!

Barking, you poor thing - that sounds horrendous. Berry power vibes coming your way. x

CharmingCats · 15/11/2013 20:58

Sending berry power. Maybe just tell one of the girls you know well?

RevoltingPeasant · 15/11/2013 20:59

Barking Flowers

Bunnygirlie · 15/11/2013 21:01

Oh barking that is awful, hugs for you x

BlueBirdy · 15/11/2013 21:07

barking how horrible Sad sending some berry power your way x

BlindKitty · 15/11/2013 21:13

funky splendid news! What did dh say?

Oh barking I almost cried myself reading that! I really think you should tell someone just so they, like you said, can steer conversation. You've got all weekend of it otherwise. Be strong bud xxx

FeatherFeather11 · 15/11/2013 22:22

Flowers for you barking. I know it must be very difficult, but be strong, breath and know that this is all temporary. One day it WILL be you. Agree with whoever suggested to maybe tell one of the girls you're closest to you what's happened for some convo steering. xx

barkingtreefrog · 15/11/2013 23:34

Thank you for all the support berries, pg woman has gone to bed early so easier now. One of my mates came to see if I was ok so I told her. Feeling better about it now Smile .

funkymonk · 16/11/2013 00:57

Sorry you've had a horrid evening barking. Sounds like an awful experience. Hope you've managed to enjoy a few wines.

kitty dh was over moon but slightly peeved as he only did jizz test yesterday and said it was the most humiliating thing that he's ever had to do!! I actually said on the way to the hospital "won't it be funny if you've gone through this today and I'm pregnant tomorrow". Hehe!

Hope you lovely ladies have nice weekends xxx
