We don't care if you obsessively chart, temp & OPK, or just do the deed a couple of times a month. As long as you want a baby & can talk copious amounts of rubbish, this is the place for you. Grin

Ooh forgot.....Pixa, what did you think of the sweet potato brownies? I hated them!!! So much so that I binned them! First of Ellas recipes I've not liked. I made cookies from her blog yesterday and added blueberries, yum Grin

spinningirl10 · 21/06/2015 22:23

Sammy, good luck tomorrow at your ivf appointment. 15 forms!

Pixa · 21/06/2015 22:36

Spinning They're vile, but I thought it was because they needed longer in the oven. Much prefer Hemsley and Hemsley Black Bean Brownies. The H&H Paradise Bars are pretty good too. Grin

lucieloos · 21/06/2015 23:17

Place marking! I have my first ivf scan tomorrow and am booked to fly to czech on Saturday. Eeeekk here we go again!

loopylou1984 · 22/06/2015 06:19

Thanks Spinning!

Good luck Lucie ????

Chops of course it okay Smile

Woke up early again and outside the cover and temp was lower but again an unreliable open circle! Gah! The one good thing about IVF next cycle is no temping!

Those brownies sound gross... There should not be vegetables in brownies! Xx

spinningirl10 · 22/06/2015 07:18

Morning Grin

Lucie, wishing you lots of luck in Czech. I have everything crossed this is the one for you. Keep us updated please.

Pixa, haha they're awful aren't they! Seem to get fab reviews though!!

Sammy, yay to no temping with ivf. Will look out for your update later.

fififolle · 22/06/2015 07:33

Boris the bleeding sounds scary, I hope you're feeling a bit better now. Have you made an appt with your Dr? I'm sure there is a perfectly sensible explanation for it, please try not to scare yourself.
Pug enjoy Sardinia!
Sammy I hope your appointment today goes well, it's great to get the ball rolling.

Hairstylisttoboris · 22/06/2015 08:04

Waves at chops and lucie

Still have blood in my CM will leVe it till tomorrow and try doctors then if it's still not good.

boymamma · 22/06/2015 08:44

Morning! You are a chatty bunch. Sorry ive been absent. Such a busy week with sports days, appointments, amusement park day trip and fathers day visits. Completely exhausted by time kids are in bed. Any bfps?? Im 9dpo now and despite the mumsnet slap im still driving myself crazy Grin

Madame (welcome), sammy, lucie, good luck at the appointments today.

Ewww at sweet potato brownies!? ......wondering can i trick my boys into eating them Grin any way i can get them to eat more veggies!!

Pixa cute pup!

Boris, havent seen your post but hope your feeling better today.

Waves to everyone else!

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 09:15

Sorry, had a busy Saturday and hungover Sunday to then cook for everyone and a very early night last night so catching up.

ibeka & Pikz sorry for BFNs

Pug doggie isn’t allowed up for cuddles I am afraid. She is very blonde and my clothes would be covered if she was. How was your weekend with your Dad? Also jealous of your holiday – trying to convince DP to take us away somewhere is hard work – he is always so sensible wanting to save for things that need doing on the house – but I need sunshine!!! Have a lovely time.

spinnin Not sure if you have covered this before but how did you come about to having students lodge with you? 6 of them all summer?!?! You are brave! Or is it just normal in Spain?
Sammy your temp rising like that is looking great. Fx for you, but really positive you have the IVF plan ready to go.

Pixa your puppy is adorable!!

Boris I hope the bleeding gets sorted soon x

MadameLeota welcome. Can I ask your age for the stats? I have put you on the stats as cycle 2 with BFP due 1/7/15, hope that is right. Good luck with your tests.

Nympho I hope the bad mood is a good sign of rushing hormones Grin

BabyBump Fx for this cycle for you x

chops stalk away lovely x

lucie wahoo!! So excited it has come around again already (felt like a lifetime to you I’m sure) Good luck at your scan and for Saturday flying over with your Mum.

#### STATS #### if anyone wants to check.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, my roast lamb was delish but a night at the neighbours Saturday night nearly wiped out my whole day. Naughty I know but wanted a little blow out before a BFP. Haven't temped the last 2 mornings either because I forgot. 5-7dpo here.

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 09:16

Hi boymamma no BFPs here sadly, hoping for a flurry in the next few weeks!

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 09:24

Morning everyone! How are you all? I've had a busy weekend so I'm trying to relax today before going back to work tomorrow. Last night I did a 13 mile run so I'm felling a bit achey today Blush.

Cd-God knows what today/10dpo......AF due on Sunday so I'm wishing this week away. Got my gp's appt this Friday to look forwArd to, I'm not expecting much but at least I can get the ball rolling with asking for tests etc. it actually works in my favour that my cycle has been so long because I'll be hopefully be able to get a cd1 blood test next week if it's something they think I'll need.

Ooh spinning welcome back! I must have missed your return! Hope you're enjoying being back on home soil!

lucie I can't believe you're off this Sat for your next round already! So exciting! I've got a good feeling for you!

And sammy too! I can understand why you're feeling a bit down but you're almost there! Not much more waiting for you now! Good luck at the appt today! When do you get to bring pup home?

boris hope you're feeling ok.....could it have been a ruptured cyst or something like that? Did you have any pain? How very strange.

waves at everyone else!

Ps are we still doing stats on here? I think I dropped off the last list after my short departure!

35, ttc#1, cycle#7, AF due this Sunday 28th June, bfp due 01/08/15.

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 09:25

Oops x post mummy! Can you add me when you get a chance? Fx for you this coming week!

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 09:27

DizzyN Yes everyone that said they were leaving I scrubbed off to keep the list tidy - sorry!

I am confused by your stats. Does cycle 7 end on 28 June or 1 August?

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 09:33

Thanks mummy! I'm beginning cycle 7 after AF arrives this Sunday! I think?! Starting to lose count already lol

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 09:34

Are we not hoping for a BFP Sunday?

Putneymummy1 · 22/06/2015 09:48

Please may I join? Bit all consumed at the moment and can't talk about it to DH really or he'll get turned off!! Ttc number 2. 39 (nearly not tho gulp) back to work in few days after popping out DS who is 9mo. Desperate for number 2 tho v worried about work getting peed off if I get preg straight after going back (more gulps). Cycle 1. Cycle length 30. Had ewcm (ugh) on cd 10-14 tho opk was flashin smiley on cd13 and 14 with static smiley on cd15. DTD cd 11, 12 and 15. Foof!

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 09:50

Nope! When my body finally got around to ovulating (when I got my thermal shift) we hadn't dtd for 8 days as I thought I was having another anovulatory cycle (ps I just noticed you'd replied to my thread on the infertility board- thanks, will mention it to GP).

The good news is that I did actually ovulate eventually though. Ironically my cycle in June 2014 was also 41 days long......coincidence?

I got very obsessive this cycle during my fertile window and stressed out about opks. I'm giving them a miss next time around in case this was what delayed ov.

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 09:56

Welcome putneymummy. Sod worrying about what work will think, this journey can be difficult enough without worrying about what work think, you won't get any thanks off them for delaying baby number 2 will you?! I also can't talk to my DP about ttc as he gets all agitated about things becoming too 'clinical'. This is a great place to get your worries off your chest. Good luck for this cycle x.

Putneymummy1 · 22/06/2015 10:02

Brilliant thanks Dizzy. Good to hear you're the same with your dp as most other people sound like their dp is pretty much on the bus too! Mine wouldn't be able to erm perform if he knew I was ov-watching I dont think! X

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 10:09

Yeah mine gets very defensive at that time of the month putney. He starts off being very enthusiastic and helps decide which days will be good to dtd, then after a couple of days he completely loses enthusiasm and I practically have to beg him for another go! It's the same every month lol. I know where he's coming from though, ttc must be very unsexy if he thinks his gf is only interested in him for his sperm. I really need to make more of an effort during the rest of the month but then I risk us both being bored by the time we get to my fertile window!

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 10:39

Welcome Putney when is your BFP due? Don’t worry about work – it is your right to have your babies as and when you want them! My boss had her 2 close together, a year back from maternity and she was off again. I hope your journey here is short. How long did it take to you conceive DS1?

DizzyN you could try the digital ones instead, I find them much less stressful. I remember the late ov’ing now. Cycle 7 will be luckier! You're welcome for the reply, just thought it might be useful for them to know x

spinningirl10 · 22/06/2015 10:45

Mummy, I'm back in UK for the summer. We have a couple of big language schools near us so we are a host family for them while the students attend school. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes not. I like my privacy and being able to slob out in the evening bra freeBlush so having students can be a pain! I also think I may have over booked for the odd night as they arrived and depart on different days!! I need a spread sheetGrin Alfie could be camping in our room for a few nights!

spinningirl10 · 22/06/2015 10:51

Thanks Dizzy, been back for 2 weeks. Can't wait to go back!
How are you, are you seeking help?

Hairstylisttoboris · 22/06/2015 10:56

Welcome putney speaking as a HR manager, don't worry about work, they'll cope. Also your DH sounds like mine, if I share to much it puts the pressure on then I don't get my valuable spermies.
