Grab your Ganeshas and collect your cats: The Elderberry Pavlovas in the Quest for the New Year clusterdiff (thread 25)

[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.

I am still lurking too. Nothing to report since the fat lady started singing except that I have caught my dh's stinking cold so am holed up in bed. The next six weeks are going to be about eating healthy and exercising to shift all the excess weight I gained over two IVF cycles of no exercising and a Christmas of over indulging

Happy New Year berries, I hope 2015 is finally our year Thanks for all your support.

An early Happy New Year to all lovely berries past and present! I hope 2015 brings us all everything we want especially our baby berries!
A big thanks from me as well for all of the kindness and support you've all shown me, I don't know what id have done without it.

I am off out tonight with dh and some friends, no taxis involved thank heavens but I am freezing at the thought of leaving the house!

Tiger no berry left behind! I am hopeful for a natural bfp ASAP for you, lady. Hope work goes quickly for you today.

trill nice to hear from you, hope you are ok. Do you have a date for the review app yet?

HB remind me why you're on the pill too, is it because of cysts? Glad to hear it's going ok, fx for your bed scan to start stimming. I may be asking for tips from you soon as I start dr on Monday. Eek.

Lumen boo to the cold, and I am with you for the healthy eating etc I really need to get in shape although I've probably left it a bit late for this cycle hope you feel better soon anyway.

Hope everyone has a lovely evening! cheers!

Beautiful list Gill - I will be long protocol and due to start mid-January.

HB microgynon is giving you spotting? What's all that about?

Happy New Year to you all and can I echo what beaky , HB and Trill said about really appreciating all the support. Me too, I don't know what I would have done without it.

We are heading out to friends locally later - they're picking us up and then we will walk/ merrily weave our way home. Looking forward to it as they are French and very into their good food and wine. Bon apetit, tout le monde.
Lumen I'll join you on your health kick to lose a few pounds / tone up - but not tonight.

I'm not starting today either wild, finishing 2014 with a nice bottle of wine, unhealthy food and ultimate Yahtzee with my dh, living it up!!!

Arrr hb & all the other messages- you made me well up a bit. I am so glad that I found this forum & that I had the guts to post on it. You've made me feel less alone, cheered me up, supported me, gave advice and geed me up when I needed it. Happy new year berries to each & every one of you. X x

Gillster I had some investigation back in 2012, (HSG, bloods and a scan) which picked up some mild PCOS for which I'm taking Metformin. I managed to move from a postcode where I could have got one round of IVF this year to somewhere where I'm too old to qualify so I'm unlikely to go down that route unfortunately. I might go to my GP to see if I they can test bloods again as I'm not sure I've ovulated recently (usually get very obvious middleschmerz but not for a few months). I'm really not sure what they will agree to do since I turn 40 next year and already had some investigations.

Happy New Year to all! This is a particularly hard day for me and DH because it's exactly a year since we found out my pregnancy was non-viable (as if NYE isn't bad enough) but in a way I'm glad it's a clear year from that (well, I guess after the anniversary of the ERPC which is in about 10 days time). On to new things, new year and happier times!

There is no way I could have got through all this without the berries.
Thank you ladies and happy new year.

hi all. looks like I'll be back here after I've got my head straight. sad news today at hospital. heading away from mn for a while but wanted to let you know. Thanks for all the support.

I'm so, so sorry Nolly, it's just the worst thing . Take time and look after yourself . If you want to chat to someone who's been there I'm here.

Oh Nolly I'm so very sorry to hear that. Our thoughts are with you. Take all the time you need and, as you know, we are all here for you whenever you are ready. Sending lots of love x

Nolly. I'm soooooooo sorry to hear this... that really bloody sucks. Desperately sad for you . Hugs and wine

nolly I'm so sorry. I wish it wasn't so. Sending you lots of love. Take care of yourself. xx

So sorry Nolly. Hugs x

Big hugs nolly xxx

So so sorry Nolly. Just heard the news on fb. Thinking of you xxx

So sorry Nolly big hugs xx

So sorry to hear your news Nolly. Life is so bloody cruel and unfair sometimes. Sending virtual hugs in your direction and know you'll be back with us when you feel up to it again. Look after yourselves. X

I really hope that 2015 is the year that all of us get our bfps. I wish you all a happy 2015, may all your dreams come true and the struggles of ttc become a distant memory. In the meantime, take comfort from the fact that you've been there when times have been shit, helped me when I've been lonely, laughed with me and understood things that none of my RL friends have. You're all wonderful!

Happy New Year Berries!

nolly I'm so so sorry, no words can really do justice to what this feels like. here for you if you need a shoulder, any time.

I'm wishing wholeheartedly for an amazing 2015 for all of us. it's been a great now since I joined you lovely lot and I don't know how I'd have coped without you.
We got our IVF referral yesterday so hoping for a March/April start now (time for a FUFC?!?) - in the meantime enjoying a peaceful break in Devon. Happy New year to all Berries, onwards and upwards ladies.

I'm with you Lumen. I need a very healthy eating and exercise fuelled January to get back to where I was before 2 cancelled FETs.

Some lovely messages Berries and I echo the sentiment. Thanks for all of your support in the last year.

I hope we all get what we want the most very soon. Xxx

*great = year

nolly I'm so sorry to hear that. Clearly although this place gives us all so much support, it isn't exactly where any of us want to be iykwim - let alone return to. I hope you and MrNol feel better soon and can look forward to a more successful 2015.

All the best for the coming new year to other berries too - past and present!

Happy New Year Berries. So glad you all stumbled upon Berry HQ. Mainly because you're all so lovely and fabulous but also because I would literally be home alone if you hadn't shown up!
Just had my last drink for what will hopefully be a very long time. Need to do the diet/exercise thing too but only got a few weeks so gonna have to go hardcore!
Didn't succeed on the TTC front in 2012, 2013 or 2014 so 2015 must be the year, right?! Fx for us all

I remember being in tears last new year because I knew that by this one I would know if I would ever get pg.
Part of me was glad that it would all be over.
