Dino is a name change of an old school Brooker, I think she was a grad when I joined.

Imps9 · 28/02/2014 19:11

OMG - Keep, Sweetie and Solars have had their babies??? And you're due in just a few weeks' time?? When the hell was I last on here?????

Ahhhhhh PUPO and JIAJ - it's all coming back to me now Grin

Imps9 · 28/02/2014 19:12

Ooooh any non-give-the-game-away clues about who Dino is??

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 28/02/2014 19:21

Lives in Cambridge Imps, big enough clue?

Imps9 · 28/02/2014 19:23

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yes I think so - Rory Mcgrath?

Imps9 · 28/02/2014 19:43

Tripe Whammy Friday!!! I can't believe that was so long ago!!!

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 28/02/2014 19:51

I am clearly thick. Rory McGrath??

musicalmrs · 28/02/2014 20:00

So sorry to hear about the male factor Imps, but as Maybe says you do sound quite upbeat. How are you feeling about it all?

It's lovely to see you back. That display was quite incredible! Grin

Not sure who Rory McGrath is, but Dino was previously a West Wing fan if that helps? Wink

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 28/02/2014 20:33

She is also a dr or something like that

Imps9 · 28/02/2014 22:35

Laydeez - meet hot hunk Rory McGrath ...

I know who Dino is! Eeeek, well done Dino!!

Hello Musical . Hope all's going well with new BabyMusical - any fake periods this time? I am very well thank you and I am pretty upbeat! Looking forward to finding out once and for all if Mr Imps and I will have have children - within the next year or so we will know one way or the other and that is a very nice thought. If we have kids, fine, if we don't then we will be a very happy family of 2 and immerse ourselves in doing all of our favourite things and taking advantage of the freedom that being child-free will bring. We can't lose, really :)

Weekend plans, people? I'm going to try a new bread recipe. Wooo!

musicalmrs · 28/02/2014 23:03

You're so lovely and positive Imps :)

Not really sure how all is with BabyMusical. Too early - no scan yet... but no fake periods, so that's reassuring at least. Trying not to spend every moment obsessing..

musicalmrs · 28/02/2014 23:05

Oh and hurrah for new bread! My weekend involves working, working, and more working :( A stressful presentation and AGM on Sunday, but followed by a family meal... so at least there's something good to look forward to at the end Wink

NoMaybeAboutIt · 01/03/2014 09:34

Oooh, what bread Imps? I'm making focaccia today. And how is that freezer of yours Wink. I need to get mine stocked.

How are you feeling Beedle?

keepitgoing · 01/03/2014 11:42

imps!! good to see you. my baby is nearly 4 months!!

sorry to hear of sperm issues. have you been using contraception since you were here or just seeing what happened? I love your chilled out plan Grin

hugs to beedle

DinoSnores · 01/03/2014 20:17

Imps, I am so thrilled to see you back! Can't believe that I, Rory McGrath, have been here for so long without being outed! (I do sometimes see him in the street. He thinks he is great.) Sounds like you and DH are in a good place in terms of starting things, so hope that things work out just perfectly for you from now on whatever happens. Great to see an Imps celebration after all this time! As others have said, I'm now 9 weeks (but not quite a proper ante-natal rat smacker) with DC4 so we'll see how things go.

beedle, congratulations on being GTMB! (gravid tills motsatsen bevisats)

musical, I'm spending all my tired and vomiting evenings watching the WW so I might return to a more suitable name at some point! Good that things seem to be going well your end!

There is news of solars on the antenatal thread (although I am still stalking her on FB for name/photo etc!)

musicalmrs · 01/03/2014 20:36

Dino, we're doing the same during evenings of exhaustion! when I'm not working. Just making our way onto S3. Sobbed when Mrs Landingham died :(

You are so a proper antenatal brooker now, you're scanned and everything! :)

DinoSnores · 01/03/2014 20:46

Really musical?! Excellent! We should have co-ordinated this better so we could chat! Grin

TheLittleFriend · 01/03/2014 20:53

Saw you in active convos brookers, and it turns out the activity is because of long lost Imps!! Good to see you back pal Smile. Can you believe my tripe whammy Friday baby was one last month?!

Beedle, wishing you loads of luck, congrats for being pupo x

GreenOlives · 01/03/2014 21:38

beedle I love that you are PUPO! Grin And I hope that you are nice and busy so that the 2ww goes in a flash!!
And it's so lovely to see you again imps, loving your attitude, hope your tests go well. My tripe whammie baby also turned 1 on Wednesday! Shock

GreenOlives · 01/03/2014 21:41

whammy or whammie? Neither look right somehow! Confused

Imps9 · 02/03/2014 19:23

NOOOO the Tripe Whammy Friday babies are ONE???? I can't quite believe that (although if I did my maths, I probably would have worked that out given that Tripe Whammy Friday was June '12). Blimey, how things have changed since then.

And Keep a 4 month old! How lovely! To answer your question, yes I went back on the pill and came off it again at the beginning of Jan. Cycles seems to have sorted them out really quickly, happily.

Dino glad you're well (apart from the vomming and tiredness) and that all is good with DC4. I wonder if you could talk to the powers that be and get They Think It's All Over back on our screens? I quite enjoyed that back in the day.

Maybe I was going to try a rye bread type thing but didn't have one of the necessary ingredients, annoyingly. So pottered about in the garden, did some chores, went shopping, went swimming, visited friends with their newborn and generally had a nice weekend with OH. What's happened with your phd/job while I've been away?

Oh it is nice to be back catching up on all your news :)

keepitgoing · 02/03/2014 20:07

yes, wasn't it the jubilee weekend that led yo the tripe whammy babies? Wink

imps glad your cycles are back quickly. I remember I think they used to be quite long? BTW I am very impressed at you and dh making all your plans, we just bumble through life it seems..

beedle when is otd? are you equivalent of about 7dpec now so it could be next weekend?

dances round trying not to wake a sleeping kip

musicalmrs · 02/03/2014 21:40

That's excellent about your cycles returning quickly Imps! Mine took ages both times.

Dino, yes we should have! Grin

Beedle, how are you feeling?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 03/03/2014 07:35

imps lovely to see you and I hope you don't have to wait too long for the IVF, we have a few experts here if you have any questions

dino very impressed at the GTMB but I think PUPO rolls off the tongue a bit better :o

I also can't believe the little tripe whammy friday babies are 1 Shock

blastobeedle should now actually be a blasto as he was only a 2 day frosty on Thursday. OTD isn't until next friday (ha ha ha) if AF comes she'll have been and gone by then. So I think maybe I'll test on Sunday with a FRER which will be 10dp2dt

Imps9 · 03/03/2014 08:31

A few questions?? A few questions? I haven't got the slightest clue how this whole thing works! Very relieved to have knowledgeable people to hand though! How are you feeling Beedle? Is this your second round (are they called "rounds"?). Looking forward to some PIAR action this weekend :)
