Brooking now arguments for BFPs for everyone in 2014. Get smacking those rats or sniffing those dogs!

[NoCupcakesOrCocktails]

Come on Brookers I want BFPs for everyone this year and I am brooking no arguments

Musical I felt stretching pains etc almost straightaway with ds2, and very early on with ds1 too, although at the time I didn't know what they were.

So cd51, 11 dpo....and I went to lie on my stomach in bed last night and it felt rather uncomfortable, like it feels when you are pregnant and starting to firm up inside and develop a mini bump....except I haven't even tested yet and no way I should be feeling like this right now surely? Or is third pregnancy even quicker for these things? (Not counting miscarriage as that was over before it had barely started.). Boo or anyone else lurking who has had 3 or more?

Loopy, the uncomfortable to lay on my front in bed was an early symptom for me both with DD and with this BFP.

All sounds normal to me musical, I had stretching pains very early on, I could pinpoint where she was, and the scans confirmed. You're probably more in tune to your body second time around

Decorating is getting there. I love it, I just hate the moving around of everything!!!

Hi Loopy I am indeed lurking about keeping an eye on you all :) I must say I didn't have that feeling in my pregnancies until about 10/12 weeks, I knew I was pregnant before I tested because after eating even a small amount I was uncomfortably full for hours. That was common to me for all 3 pregnancies. But if that feeling of not being comfortable is what's common for you ...................

Sorry ladies, very remiss of me.

The progesterone cramps have ramped it up a notch in the last couple of days, just need to get through two more days of work and I can put this all behind me.

'progesterone cramps'... or implantation cramps. brookety brookety brook x

Have everything crossed for you geek. Am I right in thinking you are 11dpo tomorrow? So one day behind me in the cycle?

I have decided to test tomorrow, I feel like I am pregnant but it could just be a crazy amount of hormones building up due to how long this cycle has been, tomorrow will be cd52. Read something worrying the other day, about if you have a long follicular stage they can basically be really crappy eggs and likely to not implant or be genetically bad etc so it's playing on my mind that even if I get a BFP tomorrow it may not be a sticky one. Not sure how true what I read is? Geek? Anyone?

Apologies am very guilty of lurking and not posting.

Geek I am keeping everything crossed for you. This much be such a hard time for you and I really really hope that the tests start showing the proper results that we are wishing for.

musical many many congratulations! Wowee!

Sorry, thought I'd posted earlier, but apparently not.

Geek, good to see your continuing experiments. Missed you yesterday! Also brooking hard that the cramps are implantation cramps.

Maybe I sympathise with the heavily pregnant and moving thing around - I was packing boxes at your point in the pregnancy, miserable! Decorating's such fun though . Am I right in thinking that you're moving at some point..? Or has that already happened?

Loopy, good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks Munx :)

I couldn't in good conscience let a series of events that I HAVE to attend be organised at a date I couldn't potentially make. So I'm about to send out an email to the organiser... eeeek. She's lovely, but acknowledging it in words makes it seem scary and more worrisome that something will go wrong..

Agreeing with Keep Geek, brooking for implantation cramps x

Good luck for tomorrow Loopy. I'm not sure how true that is, but you also may have had a non ovulatory cycle before, hence why this one is so long? I'm sure all will be well.

Musical how'd it go with he organiser? No, we decided to stay put for now. We have enough space, and we just couldn't afford all the fees. And it's the last thing we need with this one on the way!

I emailed them in the end Maybe . By the time I'd got to that point in my admin pile it was too late to phone, and they wanted to book the venue for an Oct date tomorrow. So I emailed. .

She hasn't got back to me yet, but it is late..!

To be fair, I originally thought the project would be over by July/Aug, hence TTC... we're very lucky we've got a BFP much quicker this time (the power of brooking...), but I had planned for there to be no clashes.

10 days past egg collection

Test Stick 2 - Morrisons's own brand

Test Stick 3 - CBFM ovulation test stick
Estradiol line (on the left) dark, indicating low levels. As high levels are evidenced throughout pregnancy, this is a non-pregnancy cycle.

Got a friend coming over on Saturday so I'll keep the pessaries going until the end of Friday in the hope of staving AF off until Sunday.

Apols, above should have read:

13 days past trigger
11 days past egg collection
9 days past embryo transfer

Geek I'm so sorry. It's just so bloody unfair.

geek it's still early lovely. 11dpo is early!! x

Is there any way it can rise later Geek?

Lots of brooking and hugs..

I'm still brooking lovely x

I must admit I am a bit clueless geek as I have never heard of estradiol and that you can tell from that alone that this cycle hasn't worked. Does that rule out any chance of pregnancy?

Cd52, 12 dpo here. I asked DH to buy a first response yesterday as 2 places I went to yesterday didn't have any. He didn't buy one and said that he didn't think one more day would make a difference. Grrr. So all I had was a crappy clear blue non digital blue dye one which isn't as sensitive as first response, in certain lights there looked like there was a really faint line, but he is on a mission to get a first response today. I feel pregnant, uncomfortable to lie on my stomach, ridiculously bloated, insomnia in the early hours, and cramps off and on.

Geek, still Brooking here too.

Geek hoping beyond hope that there is still a chance for you.

Feels wrong given what you might be going through saying the next sentence...

Frer this morning, BFP...v v v happy but have my usual pangs of guilt for it happening for us straight away first month again when so many other people would give anything to have just one child including some good friends of mine...

loopy, great news! Congratulations!

geek, still brooking for you too.

Congratulations Loopy :) Hope you're feeling ok.

Still brooking for you too Geek - hope you're ok.

Yay Loopy! Congratulations!

Geek, thinking of you lots - everything still crossed for you!

Congratulations Loopy!!

Brooking for you Geek. Hope you're doing ok

It's been a quiet few days on the brooking threads, hope everyone is ok?
