I know! What with loopys bfp coming this weekend, and imps next round starting soon and leading to a bfp - I'll be the only one here!

ControlGeek · 29/01/2016 17:34

such lovely news to come in to. I also second how bleedin rubbish ICs are, FRER all the way in my book.

It's been soooo long since I've visited this thread, I hope you don't mind my popping back in to offer congrats, and I really hope I've not missed out on congratulating anyone I should have - I've only read back a page.

Brooking for you all, as always xxx

Geek!

ControlGeek · 29/01/2016 18:20

Pasta my lovely!!!! How are things with you?!

Imps9 · 29/01/2016 18:22

Oh Geek You must have read our minds - we were talking about you and your peestick collection only yesterday :)

You must be a married lady now, yes? Or have I got that totes wrong?

ControlGeek · 29/01/2016 18:29

Hahaha OMG yes, that collection of mine! I'm down to just one stick going dusty in the cupboard now. Not married yet, though that was the plan imps, but as we all know life has a funny way of getting in the way of our plans! I didn't realise you'd had an ectopic, I'm so sorry. Life can be just shit sometimes.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 29/01/2016 18:38

geek how lovely to see you, we miss you. I think I needed your pee stick collection this morning! Sorry life has been a bit rough lately.

keep I agree, we must be nearly 12 weeks by now. Its been ages since my not so big and not so fat positive!

Imps9 · 29/01/2016 19:33

Don't be sizeist Beedles! You'll hurt your BFP's feelings

I'm totes fine about the ectopic Geek - in fact I'm really quite encouraged by it. Any level of implantation is a goal in my eyes!

How is Mr Geek? Are you still doing geeky work (IT wasn't it?)? What news with TTC - are you taking time off or are you still at it?

It is really lovely to see you.

ControlGeek · 29/01/2016 21:02

All is ok here thanks imps, some family crises are putting paid to my TTC PMA so I'm just trying to be pragmatic about it all. All the tests have come up negative, so my cons has thrown clexane and baby aspirin into the mix to see if it will help. If that doesn't work, he's said we'll need to have a 'good chat'. Not much geekery going on here, either - I'm in lower management now so spending my days shielding my team from Dink's daily fallout. Not very gratifying for me, but my team love me for it Grin

keepitgoing · 29/01/2016 21:47

geek oh my god!!! Don't tell me it's coincidence you're back when we were just talking about you. We miss you. Ooh I remember dink boss... How is mrgeek with his son and daughter? I really hope all is going well for you all. Brooking for you even in your absence
(PS I'm on clexane this time, after 2 failed FETs)

keepitgoing · 30/01/2016 10:43

Just did an IC on fairly dilute wee and the line is paler than Thursday's. I'm an idiot

BeedlesPineNeedles · 30/01/2016 12:05

keep step away from the ICs!

Imps9 · 30/01/2016 14:09

I once dipped 3 ICs in the same ramekin of pee (I know, I know). Got a strong line on one and very weak on another. Ignore the strength of the line - it's totally meaningless.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 30/01/2016 15:02

Hi geek, long time no speak! I was only asking if anyone had heard from you the other day! Sorry to hear you haven't had your sticky BFP yet, fingers crossed this is the year that this thread runs out of brookers!

I'm bricking it about testing, I feel so pregnant. To my list of symptoms now is utter exhaustion. By 8.30pm last night I was virtually comatose in bed, was meant to be clearing some sky+ with DH and I was like a zombie, drifting in and out lol. But so worried in case I'm going to end up with another chemical pregnancy or another miscarriage.

keepitgoing · 30/01/2016 15:29

That's crazy imps, you and the ICs Grin

Will you test in the morning loopy, though sounds like you don't need to...

Imps9 · 30/01/2016 15:40

It was all in the name of research Keep Grin

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 30/01/2016 17:29

I'm not sure if tomorrow is too early, I will be 10 dpo, in two minds keep. I've got terrible habit of testing early and then repeating tests to see if lines have got darker. I think I have 5 FRER's and I don't want to end up having to buy more lol. If I normally have AF 15 dpo then 10 dpo is 5 days before AF due so might be too soon? I've never used common sense to take notes of what days I've tested in the past and can't remember when I've had best results. Don't want to be poring over a pee stick with a torch again lol!

Imps9 · 30/01/2016 21:28

You're like me Loopy - let's face it, you will test tomorrow and you will use up all FRERs by Tuesday morning. Don't fight it - embrace the testing obsession!

keepitgoing · 30/01/2016 21:34

Grin I am imps and I am a poasaholic

BeedlesPineNeedles · 31/01/2016 05:41

I've got proper red bleeding, unless there's a miracle I think its all over. I have to POAS for the clinic tomorrow then we should at least find out if we were in the pgs trial. Absolutely gutted

keepitgoing · 31/01/2016 06:32

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck beedle

Imps9 · 31/01/2016 08:05

Beedles that is absolutely fucking shit. Come on universe, what the fuck are you playing at?

Flowers. We are here for handholding Beedles

Pastamancer · 31/01/2016 09:17

:(

ControlGeek · 31/01/2016 09:36

Oh Beedle no, no, no. Oh my lovely (((((huge hugs))))) I am so sorry Flowers

keepitgoing · 31/01/2016 13:51
