The Elderberry Pavlovas are tooling up and making plans to bust out of this joint! Evacuation by helicopter by end of September, no berry left behind!

[barkingtreefrog]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 12+ months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and definitely no mention of baby dust or baby dancing).
Those not abiding by the rules may be escorted from the premises.

Not sure when FET will be but hopefully in the next month. I have to call the clinic once I've had the op to get booked in. They should be doing an endometrial scratch at the same time as removing the polyp, so to maximise implantation chances I really need to get booked in ASAP.

Fantastic stuff Win! How many weeks are you now then? I've lost track of everyone.

Good going with the eggs there Lumen! I liked your post about drug use!

How are you today Barking?

Win get thee to the chopter

Great news win!! And lumen that sounds like fab progress too.

kuma hope you're alright this evening, keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow.

fab news win really happy for you1

arguments with the dh eh beaky? something in the water at berry HQ… I had one yesterday and we are currently both being coldly polite. what fun! (hard to win when it's about the ILs barking…!) Hope you get it sorted before tonight. sleeping on arguemtn is the worst.

feather I'm PCO (not pcos). am a tentative taker of the inositol unless anyone else wants it?

We had work away day where our 'icebreaker' was to come up with truths and lies about oneself for all colleagues to guess. A truly terrible idea when (a) everyone hates the boss and (b) he is shagging one of our colleagues. Luckily most people restrained themselves and contented selves with drawing randy cats on all the proposed 'branding' for our new department.

oh and congrats lumen! you made me chuckle with the TTC drugs slide. Folic acid - is it a gateway drug????

I'm still here, lurking, but having to work tonight due to a couple of unproductive days in the office consulting dr google, working out when I could have my next IVF and booking a holiday Have psyched myself up for a bfn tomorrow; have had light bleeding consistent with first day of AF today so anything else seems unlikely. Holiday booked to warm faraway place to make up for it though.

Gill good luck tomorrow, I hope the procedure isn't too uncomfortable.

Win great news on the scan!

Lumen nice work with the eggs- I had 50% fertilisation rate too, but only 2 to start with! Fingers crossed that you get some blastos out of them.

Good luck tomorrow kuma and gill

Happy I hope work is over with ASAP for you!

barking how are you today?

Gill I hope all goes excellently with the op tomorrow and fet can go ahead really soon.

Kuma everything crossed for you tomorrow, hoping for a bffp! And either way a faraway hol will be lovely.

Rain how are you and has work calmed down a bit?

Nolly you really make me laugh esp with your cat drawings. Me and dh made up so I can go on hols woohoo!

win that's good news about the scan.

Fingers crossed for all IVF-berries tomorrow. Kuma you seem admirably level-headed about testing is it all a front and you are really freaking the eff out, know I would be

Gill put this pom poms down and get some rest! You need your strength. Barking that goes for you too, do the work you need to do and then look after yourself the rest of the time, especially if looking after yourself involves drinking wine or lying down, or ideally both.

Waves to all other Berries.

Ooh yes, I forgot lovely gil - GOOD LUCK! Gosh this is a busy week in Berry HQ!

ditto what wild said, kuma. fx for you. gill keep us posted!

good news beaky! enjoy hols...

Not freaking too much. Sat and meditated on it this morning to work through the emotions of it being negative and have spent far too much of today working out my next steps. I cope better with things when I feel I have some control over the future. Plus, I know what will be will be, so I don't want to waste energy on it anymore. The last few days have been a bit stressful worrying about it, so I am quite normal in that respect

Win, that is fabulous news. I am so pleased that all is going well.

Lumen well done on the fertilisation, will continue to keep everything crossed for the week.

Waiting for the witch this end but it really sure when she will arrive. I am not expecting things to be back to normal after the cycle so trying not to stress too much about it yeah right

Has anyone here had any further testing for auto immune issues or the 'Chicago' bloods done? I had a chat with a friend of a friend who has been through this and is a GP who thinks that I should push for these to be done but I don't think that the clinic will go for it. Any advice / experience would be appreciated.

Ultimate respect to you kuma, you are handling it admirably. Wishing you well for Wednesday.

Good question HB, I too would like to hear any views on auto-immune tests.

nolly all yours if you want it. Pm me your address and will post if you do!

Good luck tomorrow gil

kuma thinking of you and hoping tomorrow is your day. You sound like you've got an admirably level head on your shoulders.

Hi again everyone else. This thread is moving so fast and this week is so busy in hq I'm finding it hard to keep up! Sorry for missing lots.

Ps: any word from our barking?!

good work on the mental discipline there kuma. takes a lot of energy. much respect

cheers feather will do tom x

Yes, barking, barking! where art thou barking!

Best of luck ladies for tomorrow!! Kuma you have a very sensible attitude, I really hope good things will happen for you.

Go lumen- that's ace!!

We always have an argument before we travel anywhere because we're both disorganised, late and blame it on each other! We've now come to the conclusion that the time we say we will leave we always add an hour to!

kuma ??? Have my fingers crossed here for you

win great scan news! Now can I coerce you into that chopper?!?

beaky finished oitnb . Fab ending! Desperate for season 3 already! What series is next on your agenda? Think we're going to start the wire as Dh just bought some new box we can get it through

Just checking in from the airport was hoping for some early news kuma fx still for you.

Good luck today Gill

Blindkitty it is amazing isn't it! I love that series. I was thinking of doing the wire too, (not sure how!) also house of cards and a shortish one called the fall I think!

BFN and AF has arrived. Seems that even a shed load of progesterone doesn't override my normal cycle.

So sorry kuma big hugs

Oh so sorry to hear that kuma

Sorry to hear that Kuma
