The Elderberry Pavlovas head into 2014 which will be full of ivf, berry babies and BFPs!!! (thread 17)

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 6+months (preferably 12+) NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

The 17th thread, wow! This had better be it ladies, time to get off the Sofa of Pity onto the Pouffe of Positivity and beyond!

Cracked when found out of date test in wardrobe.

Bfn.

Roll on AF.

Oh poo, sorry.

Where's your chart rp?

my chart

And Ryan for taking an interest in my maudlin moaning

Who's Ryan?!
...chart looks interesting rp! My first bfp wasn't a bfp until 13dpo. 12 dpo was bfn.

Pfft, out of date tests don't count rp.

Wishing my cycle would sort itself out post MC. CD15 and no OV yet. Wankfest. I used to be CD11-12 like clockwork.

I don't know who Ryan is!

I meant thanks......

rp out of date test and only 12dpo? Nah, that doesn't count.

Who's Ryan? Gosling, I hope!

Oh, and I hereby rename today as Douche Bag Day.

Haha rp!

I'm with you on the fecked up cycles post mc parsley. Just to make things more stressful!

Thanks for the bridemaid sympathy berries .
funky the irony is that arsehole ex bridesmaid is diffed with clomid twins, she was ttc from the same time as me, so almost 2 years by the time she got her bfp. She used to burst into tears at the sight of any pg woman and spent hours crying on me about lack of babies yet has a complete lack of empathy at how I'm feeling when I'm still dealing with the mc as well as the ttc.

parsley and funky I hope your cycles sort themselves out soon. I'm now almost 5 months post mc and I think this is finally my first working cycle. Actually had AF, and chart is still looking lovely . Still a bit confused by +opk on the same day FF has me ovulating, seems strange when it's supposed to give you shag warning! But an earlier Ov has got me wondering whether the acupuncture could possibly have sorted out my short LP. As a consequence I don't know whether to expect AF 8dpo as usual, or much later.

.

feather your colleague sounds like an insensitive prick.

rp nice chart . Not over 'til the fat lady bleeds sings

funky and parsley I'm joining the fecked up cycle club too. CD 47 here and no amount of acupuncture seems to be helping. Even hot a faint line on a opk the other day. No bloody idea what that means.

barking your ex-bridesmaid sound like an insensitive prick too. You're best off without her.

feather sounds horribly familiar . Have you ovulated this cycle? Are you temping?

I had a temp drop this morning . 7dpo. With my normal LP AF would usually appear tomorrow but that would give me a 23 day cycle so I'm hoping not. However I don't have the usual face full of really horrible acne that I would just before AF just regular acne. Not sure whether this is sign acupuncture is lengthening my LP, helping with the spots, or both! Not had any last week though and not this week either as she's away.

Also temp drop this morning..... And my fence has fallen down in the night!

barking and rp isn't it normal to have a temp dip sometimes even if there is a possibility of a bfp? I could be making that up as all my knowledge comes from reading bits and bobs on the boards!

barking yep, been temping but can't use FF so I'm just writing it down in my calendar at the moment. I genuinely have no idea if I ovulated this month as I'm so all over the place. I very much doubt not though as without a (high dose) of clomid, my ovaries seem comatose.

Apparently it's possible to have an 'implantation dip' but no idea how much of a dip and googling is for people who want to find new things to worry about she says with experience.

Felt nauseous this morning and immediate thought Ooo, morning sickness then had cramps and switched to bugger, surely not AF already, my cycles have just screwed themselves in the other direction.

It's going to be a painful few days/week while I wait to see what's actually happening.

When are you next at the FC feather?

Sorry about your fence rp!

Well I bravely googled implantation dip. It occurs around day 10 normally. So I am 13dpo and therefore unlikely.

Cramping now so think the fat lady (me) will indeed soon be bleeding.....

I have informed DH that we will try turkeying it next month. He looks resigned.

Friend offered me old baby clothes today, in case I wanted them in advance. It was kind, but.....

:( :( :(

Firstly sorry to hear about all the fecked cycles and insensitive idiots!

Barking have you spoken to your 'friend'/(ex)bridesmaid yet? Maybe it's those pesky hormones that made her have an insensitive outburst? Maybe she saw how unhappy you were and genuinely thought she would ruin your big day by being a constant visual reminder of things? I'm hoping she can redeem herself and you guys can work things out And I often get a dip around 8dpo - hope you do get a longer luteal phase this cycle!

RP sorry that AF is on her way - but good luck with 'basting' method! It does sound like a promising alternative!

A nurse from the FC called today. I had been booked in for a March IVF cycle but because I'm away from early April to early May, we'll only be starting our cycle when we get back. Not sure when I'll start down regging or for how long, but will probably be a June cycle (if not July!) which just seems like ages and ages away The pessimist in me just wants it over and done with so I see the BFN sooner so I can stop all this hoping and wishful thinking Sorry to be so miserable about it - I am grateful to be getting a chance at all!

Hi y'all!

RP yep still too soon and scary to be exciting. I have an early 6 week scan because of the ivf on Monday to check something is in there and then the FC will discharge me to doctors and midwife I guess.

Big hugs to those struggling with baby chat, bastard bridesmaids, downregging, wonky cycles etc..

Hi Ryan LOL

Ugh. My Welsh conversation class tonight involved saying how many children you have. Of course I was the only one in the class without any kids. Apart from the very camp tutor who, when I said I didn't have any, said Aww Happy join me in my barrenness . Then I was hit by a FB pg announcement. Why is it some days you are clobbered from all angles

Grrr happy at your silly camp tutor and the swines on Facebook. The last 24 hours have been a plague.of people's 'ten year' videos. Mostly they seem to consist of people getting married followed swiftly by their babies.

barking and rp it's never over until the red stuff shows itself. Stay on the yellow brick road!

birdy sorry that you will have a long wait for the IVF. You must keep on plodding on the yellow brick road as well!

bunny so pleased that all is still going well for you. Make sure you drop by to tell us about your early scan!

feather, are you back on clomid after the EP?

I think I got a positive opk today so have done what is required immediately after work. Quite what last weekends bleeding was about I don't know. Only thought is whether its from some sex Thursday night that DH wanted and I didn't, hence really wasn't 'ready' for.

Goodness how efficient of you funky no messing about in your house!

As well as the fence falling down the render is now leaking so we have to get the house re-rendered which will be 4-4.5 k. Fuckswords.

happy it never ceases to amaze me how insensitve people can be! Its bad enough that people even ask if you want children, let alone make remarks like that! Been giving FB a wide berth recently as the endless babies/pg have been getting me down too.

birdy sending some positive vibes your way! I am sure it is total bulls**t but my acupuncturist is always banging on about positive visualisation being important. If only it were that simple eh...

rf sorry for the fallen fence and the temp drop

thanks for all the replies about temping. I might resume next cycle and see how I get on. CD 15, here and just started the 2ww.

birdy on the pg bridesmaid and hormones - DP just said 'so what was her excuse before she was pg?' She's always picking fault with everyone, and it's normally me listening to her rant about someone else. Obviously it's my turn to be the one ranted about.
Sorry IVF isn't as soon as you'd like but you might still beat me - my referral isn't until March and although allegedly round here they treat within the 18 week window that would still take me up to July.

rp fuckswords indeed . Or ?

tiger does obsessively imagining pregnancy symptoms count as positive visualisation?

Happy what an insensitive arse. Do you speak fluent Welsh? Is this a class or keeping up fluency?

funky I briefly glimpsed my newsfeed when logging on to look at a fb event (have stayed off my newsfeed since the mc) and saw those video things but resisted clicking on any, they sound hideous!
