Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

Sorry for bfn beaut. Maybe your wee was diluted enough. I don't want to give you false hope but in the absence of AF anything's possible.

Raluca it's great you got to 13/14dpo without AF. Surely things should start happening now.

Boris step away from the tests it's a little early!

No symptoms here and thankfully no more tears! DH had a dream last night he was holding our newborn twins and telling boastingeveryone how he's the first in the family to have had twins. He was rather put out when I said one will do just nicely Hmm

eskimoflo · 24/07/2015 18:01

WTF- Are your cycles all syncing together or something? And if so, I really need to spend more time on here! Hmm

I should start my withdrawal bleed at some point this weekend...

Nomio230 · 24/07/2015 18:12

I am not in the gang either, Eskimo! Hurrah for withdrawal bleed & Clomid starting!

Hairstylisttoboris · 24/07/2015 18:45

eskimo I don't often wish AF would come to anyone... Hope it comes soon for you tho.

Nomio230 · 24/07/2015 20:10

The deed is done. I am currently laid in bed while DH gets dinner started. Grin

RalucaMorena · 24/07/2015 20:59

I have mixed feelings. On one hand I hope af doesn't come at all. On the other I hope it comes on time so I can concentrate on next cycle.

Hairstylisttoboris · 24/07/2015 21:35

nomio sounds like a fair division of labour to me.
ral I can remember feeling like that when I didn't know what the heck was going on. It's quite God really, saves you not being over invested in AF not coming (if you get me).

We are home with DSD tonight. She's in a stroppy mood. remind me why we want more?!

Hairstylisttoboris · 24/07/2015 22:28

Quite good not quite God. Although I do try praying for God to intervening in my fertility.... I should probably also pray for help with spelling / typing as I need a miracle to sort out my inability to write.

Nomio230 · 24/07/2015 22:34

Lol Boris! How old is DSD?

loopylou1984 · 24/07/2015 22:37

AF arrived!!! Woooo!

Lol - first time I've ever been pleased about that! But I'm put of limbo now SmileSmile

Scan booked for Tuesday morning. Xx

Nomio230 · 24/07/2015 22:44

Yay for AF! What is the scan for, Sammy?

loopylou1984 · 24/07/2015 23:05

To check everything's back to normal (ie ovaries have shrunk back down) and decide on dates for frozen embryo transfer.

Work are being really funny about giving me time off though after last week... They're making me feel like an inconvenience for getting ill Hmm

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 24/07/2015 23:22

Sammy glad Af arrived for you. Hope the scan goes well. I wouldn't think about work you can't help being ill. I think you said up thread that they are aware of the situation. I'm hoping your manager isn't a woman it's bad enough if it's a man.

DizzyMerry · 24/07/2015 23:37

Whoopee for AF sammy. Good luck for Tuesday. It's a pain when work behave like that. They should show compassion and understanding it's not like you could help it.

Mummyofonesofar · 25/07/2015 08:02

Nomio well done dtd!

sammy yay for AF!!! So pleased it didn't take too long to show.

I have a second line a test. Very faint but it came up after about 8 mins. No idea if it is pink or grey. And normally the pink is so obvious so think I am wishing it pink. Dp and DF can see the line. DF thinks he can see a bit of pink. Argh!!!

loopylou1984 · 25/07/2015 08:09

Mummy!!!! Sooo, exciting SmileSmileSmile
I can't see if you've posted a pic as I'm on the app?

Thanks girls, sadly boss is a woman who has even been trough IVF!
To be fair, she's usually really good, so perhaps she was just having a bad day. Xx

We need a photo mummy! How many dpo? I don't know why you girls don't leave it until 17dpo like me when you get obvious lines lol :-)

Yay for AF sammy!

Mummyofonesofar · 25/07/2015 08:12

No picture as no matter what editing I do I can't get it to show up!!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/07/2015 08:12

Sammy that's shocking but like you said hopefully just an off day. Are you feeling better now?

Mummy photo needed. Exciting Smile

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/07/2015 08:14

Crossed post. I would wait a couple more days and do a cb digital. Who am I kidding though I did a FR with first morning urine and still BFN. Af will show this evening I guess

Mummyofonesofar · 25/07/2015 08:17

See cant see a thing on here! Meant to be on a bender tonight! Argh need a definitive test.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/07/2015 08:20

If I really stare and zoom in I think I can see a very faint pink second line

loopylou1984 · 25/07/2015 08:35

Mummy - I'm sorry but I can't see it. Am on my phone though, so that could be why. I guess what you have to think is what would you regret more 1) only having a few drinks and finding out you're not pg, or 2) drinking tonnes and then finding out you are pg?

Beautician - feeling much better thank you, back to normal now I think.

Got to speak to parents today as we got hit with a thousand pound bill for embryo storage plus will have to pay another £1200 for embryo transfer HmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmmHmm Xx

Can't see a line mummy sorry :-(

sammy bank of mum&dad??

loopylou1984 · 25/07/2015 09:02

I'm hoping so chops, but not sure if they have enough to help us again. We will cope if not, but if they can help they will. Even if we pay them back £100 a month or something. Xx
