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

Oh Scarlett what a pain. I'm still hoping its just a one off cycle though. I agree with you and Cups though, I don't think I would go to the GP either at this stage. Hope she rears her ugly head soon.

Cups how frustrating. Why when you want her to show up does she bugger off?? Brooking that she appears soon. How frustrating that your clinic shuts over Easter. Have you fully recovered from your op now?

imps I agree day 2-3

cups grrrr. come on AF. try wearing white trousers/not taking any tampons to work...

Scarlett I agree the gp would most likely be useless. I think the odd anovulatory cycle is normal though. suspect we know more about each others our own bodies than many GPS who'd just fob you off x

I'm wearing pale trousers and I don't have any tampons! Come on AF do your worst. I feel like this IVF is never going to happen to be honest. If AF is over a week late it's possible I could end up waiting months as it might then interfere with our holiday. Plus it would have been my due date next Tuesday so I'm feeling a bit stressed about that.

Thanks for your good wishes, we're kind of ok. The bleeding has pretty much stopped, I was expecting some kind of bloodbath but really it was just a slightly heavier period (though I do have the worlds shortest lightest periods so maybe not so surprising). I am rather thankful that it happened so early, and that my body recognised that it had gone wrong so quickly. Still really angry at the world that it didn't work though.

We're booked in for attempt no 3 in 3 months time, it will probably mean I have to downreg for 4 weeks as EC is booked for the last available week before the summer shutdown, but i've DR for 3 weeks before so hopefully 1 more week won't make a big difference. It feels slightly more hopeful to have a date to aim for - though I'm not exactly expecting a BFP.

cups hope AF shows up soon

and scarlett hope something happens soon

{{{{Hugs}}}} for Beedle and Cups. Being angry at the world sounds totally reasonable right now, it has been a completely shitty thing to happen.

I hadn't Realised so much time has passed since your mc Cups but today you've done absolutely everything you can to tempt the old witch, brooking for you!

Brooking for you both xx

Well I went to the doc to keep OH quiet and although I was a bit worried when I realised the appt was with the old male gp, it actually went well. He was lovely, knew all about fertility stuff, agreed it could well be what he called premature ovarian failure, but also said after what they've been through the last couple of years it's no surprise if my ovaries feel like being a bit 'sluggish' this month!

No head patting, or run along silly girl in sight. He sent me for FSH blood test to see if it's elevated, if I have got pof then FSH will be high regardless of cycle day as my body will be going nuts trying to stim follies that aren't there.

Nurse said results would be back Friday but may be Monday. Will book back with same gp when I have the result if it's high to discuss next steps. if it's low then I guess I sit back and wait for AF, then see what happens next cycle, May ask gp for another blood test on day 3 when it finally shows up!

Not holding much hope as it was 12 2 years ago and it won't have gone down

scarlett glad you went to see the doc and I'm hoping that it is just your ovaries feeling a bit lazy this month.

Strangely I'm hoping for a slightly longer cycle this month, as a few extra days this month will mean a few days less downregging. Though I have no idea what to expect this month

Scarlett hope you get some good news about your blood test today

cups has AF shown up yet?

I'm back at work today, though I did work from home most of last week. There's a few people that know why I was off, but they're all male so I don't think they're going to say anything. I'm mainly glad about this as someone being sympathetic will probably make me cry, but on th eother hand they could ask if I'm ok (really there's no pleasing me - whatever they do will be wrong )

beedle I hope work is OK... do you get a fu review from your clinic?

Scarlett brooking for good results x

Beedle I hope work is ok for you. I know what you mean. I didn't really want everyone saying sorry to me but I also didn't want it ignored. It's a no win situation x

Scarlett good luck with your results today.

AFM no bloody AF! I'm going crazy I'm a week late today. I've had sore boobs and back ache for a few days but nothing. We even dtd last night in the hope it might kick it off. I've also PIAR a few times over the weekend to tempt fate as there is no chance I could be pg. I've only ever had one other cycle longer than this and it was in 2012 and I didn't ovulate. I'm feeling fed up

Keep hows Kip doing? I saw a very cute pic of her on FB the other week.

I can't believe Maybe has had her baby. She is so scrummy

beedle they are men of course they will be wrong regardless, that is their key design feature

cups I pfft at your one week late. I am now over four weeks late and have officially skipped an entire cycle

Blood test result is back as ok apparently wtf does that actually mean?? I asked what the value was & she said that wasn't on the notes just 'Doctor has marked as ok'

Don't know what to do now...

scarlett how annoying, don't these doctors know that we need all the details so that we can check up on them. I hope something happens soon.

And cups where is your AF? Has it gone on holiday with Scarlett's? Has this completely screwed up your IVf for the next few months? I do hope not.

keep we can have a meeting with our dr if we want but I'm not sure there's much point

I've said congratulations to maybe on FB but I'll say it again as she is a very cute baby.

I have a mental image of AF as a snooty wellbuilt Victorian governess. Now I can see 2 of them on deckchairs by the beach looking superciliously down their noses at people walking past, while me and cups just get stressed at home wondering where they are

:o and the weather has been nice (well it has here) so who could blame them for taking a trip to the seaside

As far as I can work out my cycle seems to be back to normal, I've even had some EWCM. Though I have had an outbreak of teenage spots on my face, which I assume is due to my hormones going a bit mad and nothing to do with eating my own bodyweight in chocolate last week

beedle one of the ladies on our ivf thread had her bfp straight after ivf... hop to it.

cups that is ridiculously annoying about AF. talk about bad timing.

kip is gorgeous thank you. though waking every 90 minutes at night, worse than when she was a newborn. wtf. am totally knackered it's a good job these babies are so cute.

cups any AF news yet??

Scarlett I would either ask for a copy of the results or make an appointment with a GP to talk through the results.

Well my AF is a certainly enjoying her seaside holiday and has no intention of visiting I couldn't sleep last night worrying about IVF so I ended up PIAR at 3am and wasting a CBD.

I'm feeling crap today as I've been thinking about the miscarriage a lot. I am feeling really that we might have to wait another month for the IVF. Having the scratch was probably pointless as I assume the benefits are only short term.

cups was your edd around now?

it's awful you'll have to wait another month stupid easter. I think the scratch lasts 3 months, that's what's in my head anyway. when did you have it again?

Yeah Keep my due date would have been today according to my EPU notes. To be honest it probably wasn't an accurate date as they were using the date of my last period as I think they were confused about the IVF. I didn't work it out myself.

I had the scratch 3 weeks ago. I hope it does last a few months. Plus I'm worried my lining will build up again if I have to wait another month. Mainly I'm fed up as I want to be pregnant now! I'm sick of waiting! Patience has never been a quality of mine

cups sorry that the EPU gave you a due date, I'm sure you would have rather not have known. ((hugs)) for today. I also didn't work out my due date, I know it would be November some time but I'm thinking its best not to know, though its entirely possible I will change my mind later.

I had also heard that the scratch lasts 3 months. I'm also fed up of waiting, its shit isn't it

sorry cups. it's shit you've had to wait this long for your round.

Beedles I think it's better not to know to be honest. I didn't want to work it out as I didn't want a date to focus on but unfortunately my EDD date was a pretty memorable one! All this waiting with IVF really gets me down. I guess it's cos I feel like we have absolutely no chance of a natural conception so if I'm not doing IVF I feel like we aren't even trying.

We have definitely waited long enough for our babies. I really hope your next go works x

Keep glad to hear Kip is doing well. The lack of sleep doesn't sound good though! Hopefully it's just a phase/growth spurt

cups I know what you mean but it is still possible naturally. it does happen. but COME ON AF!!! or is it too late already?

Well the clinic said they would still accept people for stimming until fri or Saturday but the nurse I spoke to had to go check with the senior nurse and I could hear them in the background sounding a bit unsure of the dates if I estimate dates myself I can see EC falling on the bank holidays if I start in the next few days so I'm not very hopeful to be honest.

cups my AF showed up today, hopefully yours is on the coach on the way up the M6

I was starting to think they were on a plane in the south Pacific somewhere. Tbh I think there is more chance of them finding that plane with all the passengers alive & well than there is of me actually ever getting diffed, naturally or otherwise [Hmm]

Anyway in happier news, I think we've found our wedding venue eeeeeeeek! Seeing another on Thursday but it will have to knock our socks off to beat this afternoon's... so much so we've provisionally booked it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
