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.

I did the bum bullet myself. It actually took me a while to find the entrance

EC done - only 4 eggs Brookers. Need to brook like fuck for this to work - but if it doesn't it doesn't and I won't be too glum about it.

Right I need some food - am flipping starving!

Yes Imps!!! How are you feeling now? Hope you're about to have something tasty. Brooking like mad here. It only takes one my lovely x

Brooking hard for you and those little eggs, Imps.

well done imps and mrimps!! we are all brooking for some good fertilisation tonight. rest up lovely

beedle good growing!

am also brooking like mad imps
Will you get a call tomorrow to tell you how they're doing? I hope thye have the Barry White music ready

I can't understand why I didn't respond better - had 24 follies to start off with and ended up with only 4 The staff here don't understand it either.

Bodies eh. Who'd have 'em.

I have no idea imps but with teh first attempt they have no idea how our bodies will respond. Maybe they were just a bit too careful with you, and in trying to avoid overstimulation, they in fact under stimulated you. I don't really have anything to compare it with as I have never been scanned earlier than day 9 of stims. Looking at the screen today I don't think theer were many more that weren't measured because they were too small. But really it just looked like a load of black and white blobs!
Don't lose hope, it really does only take 1 golden egg.

Oooh have had a cuppa and a croissant - it was like the best meal I've ever had.

Just I guess they will up the stims next time perhaps. By hook or by crook this will work one day!

Why are you on antibiotics Sparks? And how come you get free prescriptions Beedle? (Don't answer that if it's an inappropriate question).

Have had some lovely crochet time but irritatingly have run out of yarn - forgot to pack another ball. Pah.

How very continental Imps . You will absolutely get there lovely, I just know it.

woohoo imps! so you find out tomorrow how they got on? did Mr I not offer to do your bum bullet?!
beedles we are in bed as soon as N is asleep even most weekends, its usually by 8.30pm

Ooh croissants, maybe I could take one with me, the "breakfast" I get after EC is rubbish, but with it being later this time I could get soemthing on teh way there.

imps its a perfectly Ok question, nothing personal at all (like that would matter here!) Everyone pays for prescriptions (except kids, maybe) up to a certain level like around 100 per year you pay the full cost, then up to around 150 you pay like 70% of teh cost, then only 50%. I'm not sure of exact figures and boundaries but its something like that. Then once you have spent 200 you no longer pay anything for the rest of the year from teh first prescription. So my IVF drugs would have come to more than 200 so now just paid that and now everything is free :o You don't have to keep receipts or anything, its all linked to my identity number, so I can go to any pharmacy, anywhere in Sweden and pick up a prescription (that will be on their computer) and not pay anything. My first 2 IVf attempts were within 12 months so I didn't pay anything at all for teh 2nd round drugs :o

damn they were supposed to be pound signs!

Wow - now that is just blimin' well sensible Beedle. Well done Sweden.

Just had a fab sleep and now feeling much more human.

Will find out tomorrow what has happened with fertilisation and when (if) transfer will happen. I think it will be Saturday (day 2) since they will only to to day 5 if there are 4 or more which are growing well which is extremely unlikely given that we've only started off with 4 eggs.

Right, time to go and veg on the sofa with my hooky.

Imps you are >< this close to being PUPO

As you know, things happen in threes. My hoover broke earlier, I broke a nail when buying a replacement so I have decided that the third thing to break will be my waters.

brooking no argument that there will be a fantastic embie for transfer. or would you consider two?

now come on babypasta. come meet us. February is a good month to be born!

Ohhhh don't tempt me with more yarn shopping Sparks - Mr I is despairing enough at the size of my yarn stash. I have an addiction.

What hooky projects are you working on at the moment?

imps have you got your seminar tomorrow?

Hi Keep - no, they were Tuesday and Wednesday luckily.

Ohhhh I love making blankets! Have two on the go - the time pressured one is a pressie for my mum for mothers' day...it is supposed to look like this...

But right now it looks like this...

(and no - I haven't been darning in my ends as I go along... )
