W are jolly well going to get pregnant this month and we're brooking no argument - all rat smackers past, present and future welcome!

[farfallarocks]

Here, we go, nice new thread.
Might be helpful to have some stats so we know where we all are?

I will start, farfallarocks - TTC#2, cycle 11. 1st brooking baby DD, 21 months. Investigations reveal high FSH and potentially starting IVF.

x post imps. they sound much better than my lot glad you can take yourself in if needed.

I'm pleased you called Imps, it sounds like good advice, plus you get to watch bake off, bonus!!!

So pleased you called Imps. Can I just say, you're a little bit amazing x

Trix, that's no fun

GBBO

Hope you've had a good evening watching the Bake Off, imps. I don't have a TV so need to wait for it to be on the iPlayer. Glad that you'll be seen at the EPU tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. & all round?

Ooooh I'll try to avoid posting any spoilers in the case Dino. Do you not have a tv permanently, or are you without one for the moment? And how are you doing??

Was it good? DH is watching Doctor Who right now so I'll catch up with it tomorrow. I've not had a TV since I was a student.

I'm having painful regular contractions every evening but then it all comes to nothing. I'm sitting bouncing on my birthing ball on Mumsnet right now when I really should just go to bed.

Let us know how tomorrow goes.

I'm so excited for you Dino!!! Hope you're doing ok x

Hope you're ok too Imps. We shall discuss GBBO once Dino has caught up. I'm not surprised at who went though

It was definitely that persons turn this week!

Dino I'm so excited for you :) hoping for a super speed sneeze very soon!

Imps how are you doing today?

Yes, in fact I've managed to guess who'd be going every week so far #i'msoamazing.

Dino this is muchos exciting! Hope for some proper movement soon. Squeeeee!

I'm fine thanks - tiny amount of bleeding overnight, more this morning - it's quite light but consistent. Some cramps, a lot of wind (), normal boobs, just waiting really. Will go to EPU tomorrow whatever happens today ( unless I start bleeding really heavily today in which case I will go there or to A&E).

Got a day of shitty training at work today. Seriously, why is it not Friday??

Brooking double time for you Imps I bled too at around 6 weeks and on and off over the next couple of weeks, mine was after I'd been dildocamed, cervix does become a little more sensitive in early pregnancy so I'm brooking it's all normal for you!

Am I the only brooker not into bake off then? I can't bake at all, I always have disasters despite being an Ok cook generally!

imps I continue to be amazed by your poise, maturity and positivity, you really are an inspiration to us all. We are all brooking like mad for you my dear.

I had 2 pregnancy announcements yesterday, very good friends having #2 and #3. Managed not to cry but just felt so bereft, happened instantly for both of them. I can't help being jealous. Saddo that I am.
Still no AF here and BFN again (why do I do this to myself?).
Really annoyed as it means fertile period will now not coincide with the weekend which is the only time I can reliably recruit DH and means I will have to trek to ARGC at the weekend to get bloods done for the monitoring cycle. Mother nature can be a right tease!

dino have you hatched yet?

Oh Far it's so tough isn't it? You will be making your announcement in time, I'm brooking no argument.

How you doing Imps?

Dino?

So, mugging here is going to be on the news. Probably

far, you don't need to be able to bake to enjoy the GBBO. It is just lovely and gentle and nice and mindless TV. Sorry about the BFN. Brooking that it is very soon.

I've watched up to the end of the Technical so far and I'll watch the rest during the children's rest time at lunch. Go Chetna! (Surely she can't be eliminated this time after a storming first day...)

maybe, what have you done to be on the news? If you are going to be in the Daily Fail, I'm afraid we'll have to stop being friends!

imps, brooking very hard for you. Hope it is going okay at the EPU and that you and mrimps are okay whatever happens.

Dino is stop being friends with me too if it were the fail!! No, it's the beeb. About IVF funding. I sent a bit of a hot headed email this morning and this is what it's resulted in

I love Chetna!

ooh maybe tell us if it's used

imps I agree you're amazing. good the bleeding is still a little. we're all brooking for tomorrow

thinking of you dino good luck! how many weeks are you?

far announcements suck. I usually hate them and know I will when people with same age start to announce no 2/3. grr to missing AF for no good reason. maybe your pee sticks are broken...

I love Chetna too, how blimmin lucky was she though!!!!

What time do the camera crew arrive?

There coming today Keep

It's when the NCT girls start announcing the second pregnancies that I think it will start getting to me again. Have you got any further with getting your embies over Keep?

2.30 Boo. If you don't hear from me again, it's cause I've crawled under a rock

Eh? We have a famous Brooker amongst us?? Maybe we are not worthy of your celebrity! What news will you be on??

Far it's not too late to get into Bake Off! It's a fab comfort blanket of a programme - no previous baking experience required. Sorry to hear about pregnancy announcements - they can be a bit sledgehammery at times, can't they?

Thanks for all your nice words about me. I genuinely believe that Mr Imps and I work so well together because we tend to be quite content to play the hand that life deals us. We are different in almost everyone other respect but we deffo have that one thing in common.

Bleeding is much much heavier and clotty (yum) now. Some painful cramps but mercifully nothing too bad so far. Was only 6 weeks so hopefully not too much stuff left up there!

Speaking of clots, I just passed the sac I think - pinkish/grey lumps (I hope you're all eating your lunch - prawns perhaps ). Hopefully that's the worst bit over then - if it is then I think I've got away with it quite lightly. Don't wanna speak too soon though...

That's tough Far and grr to fertile period not coinciding with weekend, what's the deal there!! After having A announcements have been easier to bare (bear?) plus if we were to be pg again I think we'd be extremely lucky and a real blessing!

Maybe you superstar!! When will we be able to see you on the big screen?

Awww Imps will you go to the epu tonight?

I haven't watched this series of bake off at all, just not had enough time

oh imps I'm so sorry. gosh you're a wonderful person

maybe still awaiting an appointment from the clinic. you're right re NCT. maybe that's why I'm feeling in a bit of a hurry, they are mostly talking of trying soon and were nearly all instadiffers. are you saving up? when might you hope to afford it?

thinking of you imps are you at work? xx

Oh no, imps, really sorry to hear that. Is mrimps with you? Sounds like you have a great relationship. Hope you have lots of to see you through.

Just need to point out though, imps, that maybe isn't the only Brooker celeb! (Won't link here as it very much outs me!) maybe, if you need any tips on how to deal with your impending stardom, you just let me know!

Oh Imps I missed your last post. I'm so sorry. You have such a lovely attitude, I'm in awe x

Oh Imps I am so sorry, but you are handling this in a truly inspirational way!!
