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

She's from Antarctica?

Not quite that far south

Oh, then no I still don't know who she is...

Oh haaaaaaa thanks for your message Boo!!

I know who you are now Pasta :) Your little one is TWO???? . Will be here with a massive a mallet to help you smack that rat when you're TTC.

:o

I don't know who pasta is...

imps I agree the waiting is tough. Also the 'what if this doesn't work either' fears. I told family we were doing ivf but not when exactly as I didn't want to have to update them and have them worry. The brookers and the egg buddies thread were my wonderful support.

We have been too rubbish at setting up a meet up brookers!

just a few more days xxx

Hello Keep :) I imagine the waiting will be crap and the 2ww horrific. How many IVF attempts did you have? Gah I've missed out on so much - it was a total mistake to leave this thread when we stopped TTC. I had wanted to avoid feeling as though we'd make a mistake in stopping trying but actually now I just feel as though I missed out on learning so much from you lot as well as being no support to you either. Pah to me!

When is testing date Cups?

Hey, you're back now Imps and that's what counts!

Cups still brooking like crazy for you, when is test date? Need to up the brooking for that!

Keep we WILL sort that meet up out, I promise :) need to get teen Boo through his GCSEs and out of school, then I'm all yours!

Imps any questions you have, fire away!!

Thinking of you Cups x

imps I was lucky. First ivf attempt, though 3 failed iuis first. maybe was also first time and solars and sweetie second time. As will be cups. And beedle will be third time.

You're back now imps and I'm sure it was easier for you to leave the thread.

boo it looks from fb that teenboo is doing so well. can't wait to see you again and meet maybe at long last

Hey everyone

Sorry I've been AWOL, I've been trying to avoid mn as this 2ww is officially driving me crazy! I've had lots of AF like pains which I know means nothing either way. I keep waking up in the middle of the night having panic attacks. Sorry Imps I'm not a good advert for IVF at the minute. That said ill do it all again in a heartbeat for a chance at that BFP.

Imps feel free to ask any questions as we are all experts now!

Hey Pasta I know who you are too thanks to Boo's clue

Thanks for everyone rooting for me I appreciate it. I'm going to test on Monday so I'll let you know how it goes......

Gentle {{{{hugs}}}} for you Cups you lurk away and do whatever it takes to get through the 2ww

So good to hear from you lovely Cups. So sorry you're having panic attacks, they're horrible. Will be thinking of you on Monday x

Big hugs for cups and brooking for Monday x

Cups sorry to hear about the panic attacks - they must be horrible. Have you even able to take it really easy and have time off work?? Brooking so very very hard and will be here on Monday for you.

Here, have a Horlicks and a gentle squeeze.

Brooking away for Monday Cups

And sending you a big squishy hug!

Thanks Boo, Keep, Maybe and Olives

Imps I have most definitely not been taking it easy! I had 2 days off for EC as I couldn't sign a legal document for 24 hours after sedation so I wouldn't have been able to do my job. I also had the day off for transfer. Luckily my work gave me special leave for those 3 days. I then took another 2 days as sick as I was so upset with how it had all gone. I went back to work this week even though I wasn't ready as I knew I had a lot of work on. Unfortunately this whole week has been a nightmare. I'm so behind on everything I've been getting in an hour early and finishing an hour late just trying to catch up with everything I missed last week. I'm barely sleeping so I'm knackered. I went to see my GP in my lunch break to see if she could give me any sleeping tablets to try after OTD if I'm still struggling. She wanted to give me a sick note due to the panic attacks but it's pointless as I know my work would just be building if I'm not there. At least I've only got another 2 working days before I go on holiday

How are you doing? Any news on your blood tests? When is your next appointment?

Brooking hard for Monday, Cups. Sending you loads of good vibes too.

Sorry to hear about your panic attacks, that sounds awful. Long shot but have you tried meditating to help your stress levels? It doesn't have to be all woo and 'Ommmmm' you know! Just sitting quietly for a while and concentrate on your breathing can calm you more than you know.

Having a bit of a nightmare week. Exhausted. DH came off his bike last week and injured himself pretty badly. DC2 has decided that sleep is for the weak again. I'm holding onto sanity by my fingertips.

Oh Smegs I saw your post on FB but didn't realise it was your DH :( I hope his recovery goes well. K also seems to think sleep is a luxury we can live without, but she's teething one of those big buggers at the back so I'm hoping that (and her very sore bottom) are only temporary.

Cups I really hope you get chance to rest and work isn't too bad before you go on holiday. Is it your New York trip? Brooking for you xx

Brooking for you Cups

Nnnoooooo Cups what a nightmare!! There I was hoping you'd say that you'd been able to put your feet up and just do the bare essentials at work/home. Thank god you have a holiday coming up. .

My bloods are all fine - next stop HSG and I think that's then it for my tests. OH needs a few more - hopefully there'll be no genetic issues (which is more likely in severe OATS chaps) - we'll just have to see.

Hello all other lovely ladies esp Green and Smegs who I've not seen for ages. Smegs what happened with DH? Collarbone?

Good news, imps, I feel like I should be congratulating you on your bloods or something.

Nope, not collarbone. Sprained shoulder and basal skull fracture. He's home and recovering slowly. A cat basically attacked his bike when he was going very fast. I assume it had been watching those 'Be More Dog' adverts too much.
