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.

[Imps9]

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

Well we may have perhaps been too cautious - but no Sexy Time in run up to starting down regging to make sure I didn't get diffed, then during down regging equally to ensure I didn't get diffed, then during stims I didn't really fancy it as my ovaries were a bit sore (and they advise not to from about day 9 of stimming), then was a bit sore after EC and then they said to avoid The Sex until any possible pregnancy is well established if there is a history of MC.

The irony of making babies during the longest period of zero shagging is of course not lost on me!

put away that onesie imps!

Am currently slobbing on the sofa whilst the DC nap surveying the chaos. This is my normal tidying and doing some cooking time so need to get on

My onesie is the sexiest thing I own!!

Deffo no Sexy Time until AF has fucked off... it's only now that the leftover Crinone is making itself known. It's really quite disgusting

All things considered, it's been a really weird day and I need to get this one thing out: I was looking at photos on my phone today with dd2 (it's DH's old phone) and there were LOADS of baby and newborn pics of dd2. One that really struck a chord in my heart was one where I'm holding dd2 when she was 4wo - she's all curled up on me and I still look about 5m pg on the photo - but it's just such a beautiful picture. And I look so happy.

That image hasn't left me since seeing it today and I keep getting teary about it, for somw reason unbeknown to me. I'm worried about another CS but ... but honestly should we just stop using contraception for a while and see what happens? You get a beautiful baby at the end if it all goes well

(I'm actually considering seeing a medium to get some insight on this. I am going that mad and clueless. Did you know that?)

Come on Molotov!! Are you not pregnant yet?!! Go on, you know you want to

No Fox, I keep fighting it but my will is getting weaker.

Molotov it's so blooming obvious to all of us!! you want another so much!!

Imps, I bloody love a onesie. I really want to give you a hug. And I'm not the hugging type. But there you go.

Fox, I feel like a bad mum everyday. It's so difficult not being able to fix them. But you're doing amazingly.

Mol. I hope you are burning contraception as I type

Running, you're son diffed I can see your bump from here. Bloody piss sticks.

imps, another one here who would love to give you a hug! You sound so upbeat about it all. I am really sorry about Implette. Sounds like you had a lovely evening last night in front of the wood burner though - and that you could now be moonlighting on the Style & Beauty board with onesie fashion advice!

molotov, I've not been around very much and I can very much tell that you want another one! G'wan, g'wan, g'wan, g'wan, g'wan!

fox, I've got a poorly one at the moment too. We have spent a lot of the last two days watching Thomas the Tank Engine on Youtube, which leads me to share this video. I had never heard of cybergoths before seeing this but find it rather captivating and joyful!

Mol do it man - you know you want to!

Implantation cramps wind over for me so that is good. Now ladies what the earliest I can test with a chance of a favourable result? DH reckons waiting until the period has not arrived but bollocks to that. Friday will be 8dpo - do I dare give it a go?

Well I'm 8dpo today (i think) and I'm going to be POAS shortly. I know it's going to show negative (bloody sticks) but it's fair just to give the sticks a chance. Right?
I've got a stack of internet cheapies and I'm using them til that pink line arrives...

you nutters. 10 or 11 the earliest!!

Go running! Go! I got avery faint line at 9dpo and something at 8. It was so faint I could hardly see it without tipping it up into bright light.

Even if it looks negative, we all know that there is an invisible line there anyway

I've got 30 pee sticks coming and I've not had a chance to per on anything yet so I'm with running going to poas until I find one that works!

Another bum pee stick this morning. But I care not, as tomorrow's will have a second pink line. And I am brooking no argument.

Gobbo - there IS an invisible line, you are so right! And very soon it will reveal itself.

Glad I bought DS a potty although we're not training yet. It's perfect for those dippy pee stick mornings.

Sparkle - you talk so much sense! But I have a growing POAS obsession...

Morning lovelies!

Dino how are things going with the lovely new addition?? Hope she's being good as gold for you. I am pretty upbeat about IVF and TTC - we are only ever moving closer to having a child and in the meantime we get to take advantage of the extra time and money that being child-free gives us. I have decent eggs and a lovely uterus (I'm telling you, it's a stunner), Mr I has at least some sperm, so I have hope for the time being at least that we will definitely get there.

Maybe when is the big first birthday? What are your plans?

Gob how are you feeling? Any more pee stick action? And Running have you thrown out the bum sticks and bought in some pee sticks instead?? Only a matter of time until you confirm the Blindingly Obvious.

Right, must dash - v busy day ahead. God I wish I was a stay at home girlfriend

imps - that is such a good attitude. It is such a cliche but I don't think you can ever enjoy the child free time enough. DH and I were reminiscing about when we used to go to new york each year for 10 days for him to go to a conference. We used to stay in the Carlyle and it was totally amazing. The highlight was going to the River Cafe. This year, we're going to Center Parcs and the highlight will be making it to the Waffle House! Enjoy every moment, my lovely and have a cocktail for me

Managed to get a non-dodgy CBD which confirmed 1-2 weeks. Have been quite good and managed not to keep testing. Did an IC at 6am and it came up strongly and quickly. Had a brief 3 5 minutes of panic that the test line isn't as dark as the control line. Have decided what will be will be. I may get another 2 CBD just to check they move up each week though but will try not to test until each Tuesday as I think that sensible sparkle

I feel like crap though and am pee-ing for Britain so hoping all ok. Took DS and DD to our usual music class yesterday morning and felt a bit faint with low blood sugar by the time I had got then there and back home. So hoping these are all good signs. Am so tired I'm having to go to sleep at 9pm which is severely interrupting my House of Cards viewing!

Hope everyone else is ok. Any news from pasta and beedle?

that's brilliant news gob! I also never tested much after having had it confirmed my levels were rising. My logic was that by the time your levels are quite high then things could go wrong and it'd still show positive, so it was pointless...

imps you guys are great. I hope that you can have another round soon, and next time they will know exactly what to do. It's a numbers game, as they say.

girls i have a job! well, in fact, I have two to choose from. 1, is permanent. 2 is fixed term 6 month contract, but slightly more senior money and probably slightly more interesting. WWYD? given i want to try and get pregnant I think no 1 is probably the way forward

running have you been peeing in your DS's potty? :o How teeny is your bottom!!

No blindingly obvious signs either way here, i have slightly sore boobs (probably from the progesterone, but less sore than a normal month at the moment). I've had some womble crampyness but hard to say if that is erik and ernie getting comfy or just due all the drugs and needles. And I'm feeling slightly warmer than usual (again proabbaly teh progesterone).

I may be tempted to do one of my few remaining ICs on Sunday (12dpec) but I'm not sure yet. I have 1 FRER waiting in the wings too!

keep - congrats!

I think I would mention to job 1 that I have another offer and enquire as to whether they are in a position to match the salary. Hopefully they will up it a bit and then you can take job 1

no gobbo as am in the public sector and jobs are banded, so i'd be on the maximum that job 1 would offer. it's not about the salary but it would be good careerwise to be on the higher banded job2. but then not so good careerwise if i end up with yet anotehr CV gap

beedle crampiness at the stage is a BRILLIANT SIGN. omg i am brooking like absolute total crazy for you. Sunday sounds like a FRER plan..
