We are jolly well going to have the number of babies we want and we will BROOK NO ARGUMENT. Join us if you refuse to take "no" for an answer and like smacking rats.

We will get there. We will all of us get there. And we will brook no argument.

To be fair, the consultant wasn't meant to meet me for the first time until March, it's not so much he is missing in action as me and DH had action before we had managed to see the consultant lol. Can't email him but I had emailed his secretary and she got him to do the prescription and booked the scan for us, and got my test results that they had arranged for me to have tests for faxed to him from my GP, so really can't fault how they responded, but he hasn't seen me, and the secretary was off sick when I collected the prescription so just wasn't anyone available at the hospital to explain stuff. The consultant only works part time and splits his part time between nhs and private work. But I know enough now via others who have the same test results so alls well that ends well.

Ps Chinese all the way, can't stand Indian lol

Thanks for telling my hcg to hurry up, but secretly in a way I'm pleased it's taking a while. I am positive I am pregnant, and I know it's not the done thing but as a mother of two boys, I would dearly love a daughter, and if you believe the shettles theory then it's more likely to be a girl if ovulation didn't happen say the day we had sex or the day after, so each day longer it takes to get a BFP, the more the odds might be in our favour. Although having said that, after going through three losses I just want a healthy baby at term, it being a girl would really just be the cherry on the top, but I can't help hoping for that, as much as I'd love a boy equally as much, and I think that after 2 boys I think statistically we are more likely to have another boy!

Have got sore boobs. Am sooooooo diffed.

Good luck for tomorrow imps. Am Brooking that you'll get a super duper emby popped in tomorrow.

And I like your style gob am also an Internet stalker of info. And it seems these days I'm a professional ferreter - I get paid to find stuff out and I love it!

loopy good luck. Not sure there is anything else I can say but fingers are so tightly crossed for you. If we get lucky then we'll be on the low dose aspirin too. Although I feel a hit nervous taking it as moved so will be under a different hospital and not sure they'll have the same view.

Entering into shag week here but Mr h is ill dies this mean his little chaps are ill too?

Totally man. No other explanation

good luck lovely imps

Law of boob is never wrong Imps

Good luck lovely Imps!!! You're almost a PUPO

Did you test loopy? Glad you've got some good advice, even if its not from the doctor himself.

Good luck today imps Transfer should be the easy bit, apart from the full bladder and worrying that they are going to drop your precious embryo on the floor or something. Do you think they have clumsiness tests for embryologists? Anything other than perfectly not clumsy means you don't get the job!

I'm worried that I've caught a cough from mrb, I can't cough during egg collection, it will be a disaster.

Thank you lovely Brookers! Fingers crossed at least one lovely embie has made it through the night!

Thank you for the reminder about the full bladder Beedle - I had completely forgotten

Good luck lovely Imps!! You'll soon be PUPO with Implette

So sorry I've not been around. My iPad is broken and I have tried to check on you on my phone but the mn page wouldn't load for the past few days. I was so relieved it let me on this morning!
I can understand your feelings on getting 4 eggs. It's hard not to place so much in the numbers when really it only does take 1. That said your number of mature eggs is fab and 100% fertilisation is amazing so I think it sounds like it's going really well. I hope transfer goes ok, it's just uncomfortable having a full bladder!

Beedles how are you getting on? Have you got some juicy follies? Any idea of when EC will be? Sending you lots of growing vibes!

Loopy fingers crossed you get that BFP soon so you know to start the drugs. I'm feeling positive for you know you've got some answers and I'm Brooking for a super sticky bean this time.

Sorry i can't check in more but its a nightmare doing this on my phone.

but won't you be sedated for EC beedle? so you won't cough.

go impsy go

cups how are you honey. is it feeling real now? is your bump getting big yet? x

Cups!!!! You're back! How you doing lovely? I bet you're blooming

Fingers crossed you don't catch it Beedle, that would make EC interesting

What time are you up Imps?

I've forgotten even your embies are coming over Keep. Was it quite simple in the end? How's the job hunt going?

Good luck imps and beedle. Beedle - have you tried Manuka honey? I find it fab for anything bacterial. So some hot milk and Manuka might get rid of your cough. If it's viral - won't work to kill it but will soothe it at least

Waves at cups - hello! Was on the thread eons ago as a sparkly fruit now have a DS and a DD 13 months apart and back for round 3! Delighted to hear about your good news

loopy - glad all in hand and we went with your chinese recommendation!

DH at work and DD and DS asleep. I have slathered my hair in coconut oil and am now a bit worried about actually being able to wash it out!

I am a PUPO! Hurrah!!!!!!! That was an incredible experience - we saw little Implette on screen (she's definitely got my nose). All three children have been doing well - Implette is a good looking 5-cell, her brother was also a 5-cell and her sister was a 3-cell. The embryologist hasn't ruled out freezing both of them depending on how they develop over the next few days.

Hurrah for getting this far Just a matter of waiting and seeing now!

imps - best news ever! You are pregnant. Bloody hell! Enjoy

Cups hello How are you?? How is young Cuplet? Are you feeling well? How many weeks are you? Must be coming up to 25/30 by now???

Beedle boo to coughing. They must have dealt with coughing people before? Certainly they must have to deal with squirmy people and people who jump a bit so am sure they'll take coughing in their stride.

Gob...coconut oil...interesting. I hear grease slick look is bang on trend at the moment so you are in luck.

Loopy have you tested today?

Hmmmmm do you think it's too early to test?

woo hoo imps great news you're pupo!!! and brooking the others get on well

maybe they should be coming back next week apparently Thailand is putting a moratorium on moving things like this from may, so phew. it's been fairly bureaucratic but not too bad! so far, brooking it happens!

imps - I currently have a plastic bag on my head too (to assist absorption rather than just because)

No sweat if it doesn't wash out. I'll just throw some red lipstick on and channel the models in The Addicted to Love video. I can use DS' toy guitar and everything.

if you test now you'll get 2 lines imps - trigger shot. some people test it out, I think it can take 9/10 days. so why not test!!

Brilliant news Imps!!! So pleased the so kind are doing so well. I found ET fascinating. So cool.

Wow, that was lucky Keep!! So exciting knowing they will be here though!!

I bloody love coconut oil Gob. What will look especially good is I you leave it on and then go out in the cold. It'll solidify giving you that spring/summer '15 look

Yay for being PUPO Imps

woohoo imps so pleased you're PUPO :o Go go implette

keep no sedation here, I'll be wide awake Hope the transportation of the mini-keeps goes well.

Lovely to see you cups I have 12 follicles, will be triggering tomorrow with EC on Tuesday.

Ooooh - my hair feels lovely. It washed off fine. I was previously using a kerastase hair mask which was £££ and, on reflection, probably 95%....er.....oil. So this is a good find

Lunch now - sausage sandwiches with bread made by moi. However, can only be 50% smug as didn't make the sausages
