well done s! ring the ivf clinic. keep?!

keepitgoing · 11/08/2014 19:08

I hate phoning people Blush ...

cartoontrickster · 11/08/2014 19:30

are you having your frosties sent over?

keepitgoing · 11/08/2014 19:46

that's the plan. gotta meet the drs and sort things like an import licence from the hfea first...

cartoontrickster · 11/08/2014 20:31

sounds complicated! does it take a while? are you hoping to try again straight away?

keepitgoing · 11/08/2014 20:46

no idea how long it will take, so tentatively starting now with a hope to cycle maybe in the spring...

am broody for a snuggly newborn now; kip is so wriggly I have to sneak in cuddles by stealth!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/08/2014 22:35

Did you call Keep?!

keepitgoing · 12/08/2014 09:33

emailed Blush to arrange a first appt when dh can make it won't be easy though grr.

how's things maybe? what's a up to?

cartoontrickster · 12/08/2014 14:17

how exciting!
maybe are you broody for anymore?
there's a girl i met at the children's centre who has a little girl i think she's around 6months anyway she's pregnant again and due on the daughters 1st birthday!Shock

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/08/2014 18:15

I would have another tomorrow Trix!!! You?

That's good Keep!! I'm so excited for you!! A is currently teething really badly, rolling around like a goodun, starting to sit up and has really found her voice. All of that on top of feeding every two hours, she's been busy Wink

Imps, am I right in thinking your first appointment is this week?

cartoontrickster · 12/08/2014 18:52

she has been busy! you must be knackered!I would but not sure when, I worry about how difficult 2 would be. I have been thinking about trying again at Xmas though.

Imps9 · 12/08/2014 21:01

Oooooh how exciting to have some more Brookers thinking about smacking the rat again!! Boo are your smacking days over or are you thinking about Boo4??

First appt is 26 Aug Maybe - thank you for remembering that it's coming up!

Keep, love true idea that your next child will have taken it's first flight independently at the age of -40weeks!

Right, my new Dyson arrived today so I'm off to play!

cartoontrickster · 13/08/2014 07:57

imps that's brilliant Grin you made me laugh. how's the dyson?
I'm so annoyed with myself. I pureed a chicken breast for N yesterday evening, put it in the pots and left it too cool on the counter. only I forgot and left them all night. I can't give him that now can i.... bugger

farfallarocks · 13/08/2014 08:40

Brookers hello! Good idea to have everyone in one place, that would be great!

Shall we stay here or move to ante natal/postnatal. If we stay here we might get some newbies?
imps you are so funny, enjoy the dyson!

DH has super spunk, literally the most amazing results in every category. He is now rather smug and unbearable and whilst I am thrilled, I can't nag him about smoking and drinking :) But at least one of us is firing on all cylinders! He has agreed to co-operate now for a few cycles.

So I think we will plough on for a couple of months and start looking at various clinics in October, probably ARCG after a ringing endorsement from solars

Cartoon I would risk the chicken, really annoying though!

keepitgoing · 13/08/2014 09:35

far Grin to the supersperm but it's quite annoying of him at the same time...

ooh imps that's not long. I think my first appt was quite short - she examined me, ordered hsg and internal ultrasound, looked at test results then when they were done we were deemed unexplained. but actually I think you're past that so ignore me. I hope they give you a date soon

trix you'd be fine with 2! a second within a year is crazy though. being pregnant through the shit sleep would be just awful..

I guess we should smack the rat more, but I've only had 1 vvv light AF, so expect nothing's going on in there any excuse

maybe I think teething lasts forever... kip has 4 teeth and is v drooly again. it's hard to feel in there now as she likes to bite Shock. luckily has only bitten the boob a couple of times...

cartoontrickster · 13/08/2014 11:54

far I think you are right we should stay here. does someone want to start a new thread as we are near the end of this one anyway? shall I go and mention it on antenatal?
keep agree it would be madness to try again too soon. I can't decide what a good age gap would be. some times though I do think I should just be grateful with what I have and enjoy my little family rather than risk more heartbreak.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 13/08/2014 14:11

I think we should stay here too. It's my favourite place to be.

I only ever had one appointment with a dr at the clinic Imps. She did another ovary scan and took a load of bloods. Talked us through our treatment program, and that was it. The next appointment was teaching us how to inject, and then we started. How's the dyson?!

Exciting times Trix!!

Teething is miserable Keep. She's trying so hard to be her usual smiley self, but I can see how unsettled she is Sad

Far that's great news about the swimmers. Is MrF feeling all macho now? Wink

farfallarocks · 14/08/2014 13:24

He is strutting about like a peacock!! If all else fails, we can put him out to stud.

Teething really is the pits, nelson's teething powder really made a difference to baby Far, that and sleeping with me! Only lasted a couple of months and she loves her cot now, I took a sleep by any means necessary approach during teething as I was back at work!

I will start a new thread!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 17/08/2014 15:43

Happy weekend everyone :)

Sorry not much time to chat, school holidays are bedlam at boo towers! Off on our jollys on Friday, but before we can do that I have to sort teen boo and his teenage friend with 2 days in London, then it's his results like, play dates, packing and an ironing pile I'm sure my neighbours are adding to Hmm

Imps to answer your question, I would love to have #4 but I have no more bedrooms or car space :( I also need to remember that pregnancy with booby was no walk on the park! Never say never though Wink

How is everyone else? All busy enjoining the summer?

cartoontrickster · 17/08/2014 18:40

boo we've moved house. sorry cant link from tablet but you should see the new fred in conception.:-)

ControlGeek · 19/08/2014 07:45
