Morning Brookers :)

Cups - I CANNOT believe AF! One day too late? She's having a fucking giraffe isn't she? I'm not surprised you're upset/frustrated/angry - what a chuffing wench. BUT you are ever closer to meeting your little one(s) - you'll never have to wait the time you've already waited again (does that even make sense?)

beedle - gah, sympathetic male boss alert! He sounds sweet but I've yet to meet a man who can satisfactorily cope with a crying lady. Hope you're feeling a little bit chipper and you and Mr B have booked something indulgent for Easter weekend.

Loopy how are you doing? Is your house back on the market? Am sure it is a stunning abode (we Brookers only live in stunning abodes, surely?) and will be snapped up by someone else pronto.

AFM, all of my blood tests seem absolutely fine (actually I say that but they are still waiting for LH/FSH one). Had to do a swab myself in the ladies as the original GP didn't arrange for a high vaginal swab (what a minging phrase), only a chlamidya one. The doc I saw yesterday was quite irritated by that and said I could quite easily do it myself so as to not waste any more of my time. Hopefully the last bloods will be okay and then it's all systems go for the referral.

Ooh need to change trains now - back later :)

Imps9 · 08/04/2014 08:31

Arrrrg my connecting train is delayed - bugger.

Right, let's think of some NYC names for Cups:

Girls

Queens
Brooke
Manhattan
Macy
Island
Liberty

Boys

Empire
Rockefeller
Staten
Bronx (although I think some sleb has already taken this one)
Errm, Park?

Most of them are an acquired taste perhaps but food for thought none the less.

keepitgoing · 08/04/2014 09:52

I love Brooke! anyone used to watch one tree hill? Smile

GreenOlives · 08/04/2014 14:22

Good work imps, cups will be spoilt for choice!! Wink

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 08/04/2014 17:42

Ooh good list! Cups I think you should find your ideal name on there Grin I can't believe what a complete shitearse AF has been yet again!! I'm brooking so hard for you!!

musicalmrs · 08/04/2014 20:25

Loopy, I'm so sorry to hear about the job and the house, alongside the baby. How're you feeling? Does your DH want to delay TTC again then until things are more settled? Sympathise completely with the house stuff - we're still in limbo with ours...

Scarlett your venue looks stunning! Grin

Cups, sorry to hear about having to wait.. but the NY BFP will be fabulous! Love the name Brooke Grin. And Macy! Think we need to work on the boys list though..

Beedle, I hope you're doing ok. I'd have cried if the boss had been a face to face conversation too.

Imps do you know when you'll be getting your results yet?

Thinking of you Geek, if you're ever loitering over this way.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 09/04/2014 14:17

Imps Grin at your impressive list. I agree most of them are an acquired taste! Great news on your blood results so far. Brooking for a speedy referral.

I'm busy wishing the next 25 days away! I can't wait to have some space in my fridge. I've had one shelf full of drugs from the start of December.

I can't think of any boys' names!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/04/2014 12:04

how's everyone doing?

keepitgoing · 16/04/2014 12:42

18 days for cups Grin

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/04/2014 15:56

Hiya Keep

keepitgoing · 16/04/2014 17:56

where is everybody? Sad

keepitgoing · 16/04/2014 17:56

hi boo how's booby?

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 16/04/2014 20:05

She's amazeballs! Nearly her birthday Shock she's possibly broken my nose too [ouch] but still amazeballs :) :) Toddly boo got his infant school allocation today, we got into his first choice school and teen boo starts his GCSE exams in a couple of weeks Shock its all busy busy busy here, how's about you?

ScarlettInSpace · 23/04/2014 12:46

Afternoon all hope you are all well. Thought I'd pop on for a quick gloomy Scarlett Update... After my mammoth 54Day cycle, my next cycle lasted precisely 2 weeks Hmm I just have to accept the inevitable now, and try to get to the doctor at the right time for a day 3 fsh done to confirm its all over, can't see a way back now...

Coupled with half a dozen diffed announcements, mostly 2nd children to people who started trying for their 1st after me, I officially give up. 3 years & 2 months since I stopped taking the pill, The universe has won.

MrS is really not keen on donor eggs & I'm not sure I fully buy into it either. Plus we have a wedding then a house to pay for so can't see where the money would come from.

I'm out brookers, good luck to anyone left I hope you get successful outcomes all round, big love xx

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 25/04/2014 07:10

Scarlett I've just seen this, I'm sorry to hear that but I understand why you want to draw a line under it all. I often feel like throwing the towel in but I can't yet as I still have hope. You have got lots of wonderful things to come in your life regardless of whether you have children or not. I'm so Envy of your wedding, I wish I could do it all again. My wedding day was the best day of my life and I'm sure yours will be amazing. I'll still be brooking for a miracle ironic BFP for you. Take care xxx

Hello brookers, I am a lapsed brooker, I just can't keep up with the threads but I think of you all often and try and pop in for updates. For now I shall just pass around some brownies and Monmouth coffee. I think I am totally out of date and don't know the ins and outs of who is doing what but I just wanted to give scarlett a lovely squeeze and we will all keep brooking for you :)

imps how are you?? Right, I am off to read the rest of the thread and catch up with you all.

News in the farfalla house is that M is now 18 months and very cute. We have been TTC#2 but no luck yet, clearly because I have not had the power of the brookers behind me, I shall make amends

keepitgoing · 25/04/2014 18:39

scarlett I'm sorry all is basically shit. I understand why you're throwing in the towel but as far says, we will brook for you.

cups is your cycle starting soon? I hope you're doing OK lovely

beedle same goes for you

far how long have you been TTC this time? I think you need some brooking behind you so come on in

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 26/04/2014 10:26

Welcome back Far! I can't believe M is 18 months Grin how long have you been ttc DC2? Will you need to have injections again as soon as you get your BFP?

Keep AF is due in a week, I'm not sure if I'll be waiting longer though due to my mammoth 40 odd day cycle last month. I'm feeling a bit nervous that something will go wrong again and I won't get to start Hmm

keepitgoing · 27/04/2014 08:29

ooh cups that's exciting!!! do you know if when you ovulated last month? Grin

farfallarocks · 29/04/2014 10:15

I lost you all, it's quiet in here!

TTC#2 for about 6 months but in a much more relaxed fashion, no shag dictators etc.
I will need to do all the same things as last time with injections etc so have the prescription ready but I am trying not to go nuts this time, it was a very stressful time and DH and I had some dreadful rows about DTD on demand etc. He was very stressed in his job at the time and is much happier now so I am hoping it will be easier but was also hoping to be one of those annoying instadiffers 2nd time round!

Will give it to the end of the year before going to have some tests etc.

It looks like there has been some bad news here brookers, am so sorry that its been a tough time, we definitely need some more brooking!!

Imps8 · 01/05/2014 20:36

Fucking hell, I've been trying to get back on here since the Heartbleed thing wiped our passwords - grrr, seems like I'm now Imps8 rather than Imps9, but there we go Confused

Scarlett you probably won't see this but I'm really sorry and so sad for you my lovely. What a wanking pile of shite. I hope you have a fantastically super wedding and I hope this stupid TTC shizzle doesn't keep you down. Much love, lovely.

Far - hello!! Lovely to hear that mini-Far is 18 mths - who the hell can believe that?? God, time flies so very very much :)

Cup any sign of that lovely special AF who we'd love to see come into your life any day soon (hoping that flattery encourages her in). Not long until your NY trip is it??

AFM - nothing really! Have a hospital appt on 27 May but if I'm honest I've no idea what it's for - the GP booked it for me. Will ascertain closer to the time but for now am just riding the spring waves :)

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 02/05/2014 08:04

Imps I'm a bit suspicious you are an imposter as there are no mistakes in your post Wink Maybe we should quiz you on the history of rat smacking to be sure?! Seriously I can't believe you've been gone all this time due to that bloody virus. I changed all my passwords to everything but I've now forgotten what I've changed them too Blush

I wonder what your hospital appointment is for? Does it say who you are seeing? Not long to wait anyway.

Far IF I ever get to have DC1 I'm also hoping to be a second time round instadiffer. I think it's only fair Smile I hope you are not waiting too long this time.

AFM no AF yet and to be honest I don't want her to come tomorrow as we are at a family christening a 5 hour drive away on Sunday. If she comes tomorrow we will have to miss it so I really need her to wait until Sunday/Monday to show her ugly mug. In other news I've got a giant spot on my chin and the dress I've bought for the christening is too right so I'm feeling very sorry for myself this morning Sad

far we aren't using protection though not much rat smacking due to lack of sleep and I am hoping to be an instadiffer too!
