The Elderberry Pavlovas: Hanging up our fertility crystals, relaying the Yellow Brick Road and chasing that chopper. We want our BFPs and we want them now! (Thread 22)

[happylass]

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.

Had to tell you - just saw another unicyclist!!! Completely different part of town and a smaller wheeled version so it's definitely not the same one.

I reckon it's a sign

Haha Smidge I think unicycles must definitely feature in the next thread title! We need to start thinking about that soon too. Can anyone missing off the list add themselves in preparation please and any necessary amendments be made...

Lumen well done on the crop and pip congrats on pupo. Hope you feeling better. Smidge these unicycles are definitely a sign! How funny

Sorry not been doing a very good job at posting. It's been a stressful wk and I can only just keep up with reading the thread! Can't wait for wknd. Anyone been to. a fireworks display? I'm thinking of going to one at wknd...other than that and perhaps cinema I have zero plans...woo hoo!

Meant to be having blood test tomorrow to check I'm ready to start drumming nxt Wed but not had withdrawal bleed which is annoying. They said to call in if not started so I think test may have to be postponed.

Thx for the list happy. Think the next thread needs to include both unicycles and drumming!

Waiting for call to see how many fertilised, really nervous even though I know I cannot do anything about the outcome

Feeling better today, thanks for all your kind words yesterday, think I just reacted badly to the sedation.

Is it also possible to bring the useful current treatment summary that gill created a few days ago?

Just had call, we have 7 embies, two more than last cycle. Just need them to keep going strong. They are calling again on Sat morning to let us know if day 3 or day5 transfer.

Hi Lumen, v good news on 7 embryos .

And good to hear that your ET went well pip.

Woo go lumen embies!!! I'm sure time is going to drag until Saturday so you got some nice plans to keep you busy?

Am off work on sick leave pixie and MrL is on annual leave. I think today I will take it easy and maybe do a little more Christmas shopping tomorrow.

Great news on the embies Lumen. Will definitely copy Gil's list over to the new thread. What about something like "Roll up! Roll up! Mount those uni cycles and shake those pom poms. The Elderberry Pavlovas are drumming away in the hope of a Christmas clusterdiff (thread 24).

Can someone please add me to the list too? Sorry i would do it but I'm using the app on my phone and it doesn't let me cut and paste.

AnnieHoo 41, ttc July 2012. Unexplained. MMC Nov 2012, MMC May 2014. IVF Oct 2014 BFN. Waiting for FET.

Love it happy

Welcome annie, sorry I haven't said it before. Hope your time with the berries is short, sweet and fruitful

Seconded! Excellent work happy.
Reckon we need it starting soon as we're getting v close to the 1000 mark.

Happy do you work in marketing? if not I think it could be a career direction for you!
Lumen..more Christmas shopping...you mean you've already started? Scurries off to check calendar... although advent calendar already up and waiting Good that Mr L taken time off too.
FC have said no problem with delaying blood test, I can easily go in Monday and still have results back in time for drumming Wed so that's relief.

Excellent title Happy thanks.

Lumen great news on your 7 embies, the pom-poms of lurvve clearly worked their magic glad you're feeling better too. I'll be pom-poming and shimmying away for great development too

Fab news Lumen. We had 6 embies from 12 eggs so you have similar but slightly better stats than that.

We also need to add Trill to the list Happy. Love the new thread title
