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.

Just think of it as good practise for all the sleepless nights you will have in 9 months time Imps

Keep yes still no baby here. Got a sweep booked for next week, it would be great if I had to cancel it so please send some labour inducing vibes this way. Dd keeps sticking her feet in my face wanting me to smell them...

Well I have just finished setting 4 different alarms - there is no chance that I am not going to wake up to stab myself for the last time this cycle. Half past midnight indeed.

Sparks I second the various votes for you to visit the GP. There really is nothing to lose by going (other than your sanity if he/she says something along the lines of "relax and it will happen"). I don't know if assisted conception would be on your agenda, but if it is then it took one year from initial jizz test to starting IVF treatment so it does take a while (it may be slightly quicker if paid for privately, but the tests at least can be done on the NHS (I think?). Are you worried about going to the GP? We're here for hand-holding every step of the way.

Although all of that being said, you are DIFFED so the only GP appt you will need is to book your pregnancy in.

Pasta I am sending my best labour inducing vibes your way. I'll do a Labour Inducing dance too

BTW girls, I think I've found the perfect outfit for me to wear for EC...what do you think?

Imps!!! I don't even want to know how you stumbled across that

Sparks, would a GP visit help you feel better? If so, I think you should go too. As to whether they will provide any treatment depends on your local CCG and their policies.

Sending labour vibes your way Pasta

And good luck for your last jab Imps x

Beedles yes I have always known, I have never told anyone in RL other than DH as I know it sounds crazy, but I can just feel, and I don't mean in some hippy weird in my head way, I mean physically I feel things changing. I am now I think 8-10dpo, certainly 10 is the maximum dpo and already I feel swollen if I try and lie on my tummy and there has been a sort of heavy aching feeling since last Friday, it's a bit like the feeling I get if I have the runs, that's the closest thing I can compare it too sorry!

Hinky if you had asked me on Sunday what I needed to make it stick I would have said a lot of luck. However things have changed massively since then. I had another 2 blood tests finally come back and I tested positive for lupus anti coagulant so it appears somehow since having ds2 I have blood that clots too much and it can cause miscarriages and still births (plus strokes and heart attacks which has me worried). So I think I need aspirin and heparin to stand a chance of a sticky bean. So I emailed the consultants secretary, and thankfully they have acted promptly, they got my GP to send the results across, the consultant believes that I'm likely to know I am pregnant and is assuming I am and I am heading across to the hospital today to collect prescriptions from his secretary.

So maybe in answer to how I'm feeling. I have a lot more hope than earlier in the week, but am still scared that it's still not going to stick. And I need to acquire a FRER as I have now stupidly used my two even though my head was telling me it was way too early to test as my hcg has never been quick to show up mega early on the tests, I did one yesterday and one today, and now kicking myself for wasting them when I probably shouldn't be thinking of testing until the weekend! I should have locked them in my car lol.

loopy great news that you have some answers and that you are able to get some drugs to help so quickly. Will you start on the drugs immediately or wait until you get a positive test?

imps I hope the 3 million alarms worked and you didn't sleep through. I had a fairly early EC each time so have trigged around 9pm. I'm hoping for the same again. I'm afraid I haven't looked at your outfit, teh website wasn't considered suitable for viewing at work :o

pasta I'm sending labour inducing vibes to you!

Bondage sites not suitable for viewing at work?? Where the hell do you work Beedle, a convent?!

Yes I woke up thank you. In hindsight I set the alarms too early (12.15) so had to sit in a cold bathroom for 15 minutes watching the clock tick. Mr I didn't stir bless him and woke me up in a panic at 5.15am telling me that I hadn't done my injection.

Loopy I think that it is good to have a reason. Brooking no argument that this bean will be okay. Hurrah for GPs acting with a sense of urgency!

loopy - very pleased to hear that you have some answers and hopefully some solutions now too.

imps - Go, Go, Go as DS would say!

Very tired here. Sorry to moan as this is totally ridiculous and I know it's only our first month of TTC but I'm finding nightly shagging exhausting. Only one more night to go. I've ordered some OPK's for next month (and some pregnancy tests) - it's just like old times

Also, we have some conceive plus but with a use by date of April 2014. Presuming it won't be toxic or anything as we used it last night

And so endeth the over-sharing!

I'm pleased you have some answers Loopy, and that they have acted so promptly. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Brilliant news Imps. Bring on EC and the fanny gunk

How did your bloods look Beedle?

I'm very impressed at the nightly shagging Gob how on earth do you fit it in? Time wise I mean

Gob I think you are being slack, take a leaf out of Hinky's book and aim for 3 times a day :o

Glad you got up ok Imps, it was a very inconsiderate time to have to trigger.

Beedle I am shocked your work wouldn't allow access, I get most of my clothes from there and can often be seen walking around dressed head to toe in stuff from there. It is a shame that they don't do a maternity range

DH is such a keener that he has suggested getting up at 6:00am for extra sessions Please pray for an early bfp for me - I'm shattered!

maybe - we have to start no later than 9pm or I fall asleep. I am currently trying to negotiate absolutely no foreplay whatsoever at all

sparkle - yes. Although he would never admit it, I have a sneaking suspicion that DH would like another boy so he's trying to get as many shags in near ovulation as possible!

imps excellent stabbing, here is hoping for a mega haul for you!!

gobbo your DH sounds like a brooker to me, 6am sessions!! Nice! I think every other day should have your bases covered.

Hi everyone, I feel like I'm not being a particularly good Brooker: not writing many posts (or engaging with many, sorry) and I'm not even properly TTC ... even though I think about pregnancy/babies/3 dcs every day.

There has been a bumper crop of babies born/due soon amongst people I know. It's making me more broody and realise more that I just love little babies. I miss having one. Despite this, I know one more baby would be our last. I couldn't promise that another baby would cure me of broodiness, but I wouldn't keep having babies IYKWIM!

I overthink terribly and I think my heart is saying just give it a try, but then my head pitches in like the Apollonian lump it is and reminds me of all the practicalities, potential pitfalls, risks, etc and says 'maybe better/safer to just stay as you are'.

I like the idea of giving it a year and see if nature takes its course. But I'm scared and haven't felt brave enough yet.

Blimey, all these shag happy couples - anyone would think you were trying to have a baby!! Poor Mr I has always struggled with performance anxiety while we've been TTC - if he knows it's near ov, it's like the occasion/pressure gets the better of him and he just can't, erm, produce. You've gotta love IVF for removing that particular pressure (he has some frozen jizz as back up in case of any issues tomorrow - I don't think he will though as he's not struggled with any jizz samples up until now. Hmmmm, maybe it's just me that's offputting?!). Anyway, consequently I am dead impressed with all your shag obsessed gentlemen!

Maternity bondage wear. There HAS to be a fortune to be made from such a business.

Far any more thoughts on when to start your next cycle? Beedle did you get your drugs okay?

So I'm now a little less confident than earlier. Went to the hospital and the consultants secretary wasn't there, so no one could talk to me at all. The prescription was for progesterone and aspirin, and no instructions on when to start them, and no heparin/clexane etc. They have booked me for a 6 week scan, assuming we get that far. I've had to speak to others on a thread on here to establish when to take things and how, and I'm hoping that maybe they might start me on the injections after the scan. But scared in case it's too late by then. Finding all the shagging talk funny though. Think my DH feels robbed on the sex front lol. He only has to sleep with me once and that's it, job done in the first month. This will be our 6th conception, and bless him only one of the six involved several sessions as it coincided with Pre Xmas celebrations and more time at home than normal lol.

Good luck for tomorrow my lovely Imps. I will be thinking of you and your faberges x

Arg Sparks what a bitch . Are you doing something nice today which may help you feel less blue?

Thanks Maybe. Am just wondering if I ought to do some extra grooming. A suitable time for my first vajazzle perhaps?

sorry to hear that sparks I'm sending tea and chocolate to you - I would send but its possibly a little early for that.

good luck for today imps I'm guessing you are having EC around lunchtime as you triggered so late

cat I love that you have negotiated no foreplay just to get it over and done with as quickly as possible :o Don't you know that making a baby should involve hours of foreplay followed by the best sex ever and similtaneous orgasms (with fireworks going off in the background). How on earth do you expect to get pregnant if you're not doing it properly? :o

molotov its OK you don't have to post everyday, we won't throw you out!

I think my bloods were ok, they just told me to continue with teh same dose. I'm in to be dildocammed at lunchtime today. I picked up some more drugs yesterday, another 8 days worth at this dose, I was hoping to only need to do a couple more stimming injections But I don't pay anymore for teh drugs (I now have free prescriptions for nearly a year - I'll have to stock up on other stuff!) so I suppose its easier to get 2 boxes now than to have to go back again at the weekend if I need more.

imps a vajazzle would be perfect I think :o Oh and to borrow your phrase, MrB has been around with the duster this morning. On his own, I didn't want to get all dusty before my dildocam :o
(Hope I haven't confused poor dino too much!)

Serious (if perhaps a little ridiculous) question - am I likely to have time to crochet at BH? I.e is there much hanging around? I'm under time pressure to get a blanket done by Mothers' Day and am squeezing as much hooky as I can into every available moment. If there will be time to kill I'll take it with, but if not I'll not bother.
