Don't stop us now! We're having such a good time, we're having a ball and BROOKING NO ARGUMENT!

Clearly an implantation bleed Keep.

2016 has already been kind to me - the bleeding's completely stopped! Hurrah! Bring on Sexy Time at last!

I had a shag! I had a shag! I had an actual shag!

What AF news Keep?

When will you ov Loops?

And how is shag week going Mol?

Great stuff imps!

It was AF proper by the afternoon, so I start stabbing tomorrow!!

Hope everyone had lovely christmasses, it's always a bit weird when it's all over, isn't it...

Hooray Imps! What a way to start 2016!

2016 started with a bang for us, too The Sex happened on days 11, 12 and 14 so far: I think I ov'd on day 14 (cramps on that day). I am determined not to symptom-spot this month and will not test until I get a late period!

How was day 1 for you, keep? I agree that everything is a bit weird after Christmas. We're back home now and it's really like we've not been away! Plus everything looks so bare with all the decorations having been taken down.

Good luck mol, and no early testing allowed!
beeedle where aaaare you?

How was your first stab Keep? There something so exciting about stabbing. I genuinely loved doing it.

Hurrah for starting 2016 with bangs Mol. Of course you won't symptom spot and of course you won't test early

Yes Beedles reveal yourself! When will you be PUPO?

Should be my final blood test this morning. Will miss my EPU visits like a hole in the head

Hold on, I don't think "like a hole in the head" is the appropriate saying in the context of missing something, is it? It's more for when you don't need something I think. Can't think what the right phrase is though. Never mind.

That's right Imps. I've thought nothing of the sensitive nips I've developed since ov'ing ...

woohoo for the shag imps and I'm so pleased you have finally stopped bleeding

keep great news that the stabbing has started, I Think you might be a Little bit ahead of me as AF only arrived yesterday, so I Think we'll be looking at ET around the 20th

Mol well done for managing so much Sex!!

Christmas with my family was wonderful, it was Lovely to see my nieces cuddling up to MrB on the sofa (playing games on the ipads!) considering how rarely we see them. Decorations stay up here for at least another week or so, and we'll probably leave some of the lights up for longer than that. Hoping for some snow at the weekend, its Cold at the moment about -4 today, but Lovely and sunny, am working from home so haven't actually been outside yet :o

So excited about at least 3 BFPs within the next month!! Wahoo!!

I appear to have copious amounts of fertile pant snot. There is no way I can be about to drop an egg, surely? Must just be changing hormones it's not jizz as we didn't have Sexy Time yesterday

Back from my baseline, slightly late scan. All good, nine follies plus two tinies, next scan on Friday.

beedle I'm sort of expecting EC next wed-fri, so ET 18-20 if we get to blasts, so we may be v similar. Is yours a totally unmedicated cycle?

imps pant snot already?? Are you going to use protection?

9 follicles is fab keep what meds are you on? looking forward to bfps for both of us at the end of the month :o with mol leading the way in a week or two

imps I suppose its possible that its proper pant snot - I have no idea!

300 menopur beedle, though I've only had one dose so far... I was on a different drug in Thailand and she's upped my dose because I'm older now plus lowish amh. Some of them were 7-9mm already so of course I'm worrying why they are big so early

Anyway... Here's to our January bfps!! mol show us how it's done!

Do not worry Keep! Your follies are all lovely and fine and there is no need to worry. All is good!

It might not be pant snot Beedles. Though I suppose that if my HCG was 10 last Sunday, it could have been negative by Tuesday which means I'd be on CD 6... no that is far too early. I think it's prob just hormones.

I think we'll prob just avoid The Sex rather than use contraception Keep. Will seem weird to actively avoid getting pregnant, but I don't want any further MCs or ectopics to get in the way of our next IVF round.

It's SO SHIT being back at work. Like, beyond shit. Hate it.

imps that's why I'm working from home for a few days, easing myself gently back into the idea of working. I'm actually updating my CV at the moment (it is proper work, I'm not job-hunting on the side!)

Oh and keep yes totally unmedicated cycle. I still have loads of progesterone left but I don' Think I'll use it this cycle - I was readying about a study on the use of progesterone for repeated mc and the conclusion was it makes no difference (does no harm but no evidence that it prevents mc either). So I Think I'll let my body get on with it, though I might change my mind if I do get a bfp :o

I seem to be thicker around my middle and backside, too ...

That's from all the food I ate and zero exercise I did over Christmas!

FWIW, AF for me is due around the 16th this month.

Bloody hell I got a non-flashing smiley face which means I am about to drop an egg - one day after my HCG was confirmed as being

Oh I may have figured it out - when I was in the EPU on 21st Dec they said that my progesterone was at 3, so negligible. It's progesterone that stops ovulation rather than HCG isn't it? If that's right then I'd be more on CD 15, which makes much more sense.

Either way I'm going to give my body a massive hug for getting back to normal so quickly. What a hero. If it were me I'd have been like "fuck it, I'm tired and a bit battered - I'm taking a couple of months off". Thank you Body

Your post just made me LOL, Imps

Here are more for your bod!

And yes, I think it is progesterone which prevents ovulation Impsy, so you are prob correct thinking CD15. These next couple of months will fly by, and then will it be straight onto IMSI for you?

I noticed brown spotting this morning. I'm 3dpo and on CD17. I'm not symptom spotting ... Just sayin'

Well we have a consultation with the andrologist next Tuesday to discuss Mr Imps sperm and whether using Bollock Sperm is an option for the next round. Then I will have a scratch in March and hopefully IMSI with me on metformin, intralipids etc etc and transfer of 2 blastos (fingers crossed we get 2!). Throwing everything at it so we can't look back and think "if only we'd tried x".

Yes, time will fly by - esp as we have 2 long weekends away and a week's holiday between now and then!

Brown CM you say...definitely not a symptom...

No-one could every say you haven't tried, Imps, and you've been through more than enough already to have your baby. You've got everything going for you with the impending course of treatment to carry your pregnancy through x

In all seriousness, could this brown spotting I've seen today be linked to the rise in progesterone after ov? It's not the first time I've had it at this point in my cycle.

And I'm not fishing for "it's implantation spotting!" replies although it would be nice it it was
