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

You can't beat a Freddie Mercury-themed title to get a new thread going

I'm absolutely exhausted today - that's an early pregnancy sign right? woohoo!

Hurrah! Yes Beedles!!

Yep, deffo preggers there Beedles

Good lines you have there Imps! Will get some of those tests if they are cheaper than FRER's!

Keep I haven't a clue re ovulation. It's meant to happen within I believe 5-10 days after the last clomid tablet so should be cd11-16. Last cycle it didn't happen until overnight between cd19/20. That would be next week, Tues/Wed I think, my last AF started lightly on the evening of the Thursday so rightly or wrongly I counted Friday as cd1, so suppose ov could be Mon-Wed next week. But I'm just not feeling it at the moment. There is signs of swelling/pressure on my left but not as much as I would expect if ovulating in a few days and I'm not feeling much on the right and not a hint of cervical mucus of any kind yet.

deep breath

I AM BACK IN THE GAME

[GRIN]

Woohoo! Welcome back :)

Hey pasta how are you?

I've actually been trying to get back on mumsnet for a while but wasn't allowed in

Hooooooooray! Welcome back!!

Hey just been scanning back looking at all the pics of your pee sticks!
Very impressive.
Looking very good! Congratulations!

Thanks Trix! It's nice to have a BFP. It would be even nicer if miscarriage wasn't such a strong possibility, but you can't have everything, eh?

So fill us in on all your deets. When did you start TTC or were you waiting to come back here before doing so?

It's a bastard isn't it, but I'm convinced this Is your time. What are you doing to help things along? How many wks are you?
It's been around 4 months ttc feels fecking ages even though it's really not. Brought some superdrug ov tests for this cycle and used the whole box with no sign of a positive one. Oh well...

Hi trix! Lovely to see you. What time were you testing for ov? Sometimes the window can be short, that's why cheapies are good, you can test twice a week

Day, gah

Going by LMP I'm 4+3 but going by ov I'm 4 weeks exactly. So basically about to give birth.

So we've both been on fertility vits and Mr I had been on high dose vit C for a couple of months as that's supposed to help with DNA frag. I've been taking mild aspirin and 5mg folic acid and progesterone. Tomorrow I'm going for an intralipid infusion drip (which is to help if I have high NK cells) and I'll also start on fragmin (which is supposed to help with clotting issues). We don't know if I have NK/clotting issues - this is a "just in case" treatment.

I'm also being completely lazy and doing nothing remotely energetic. I'm not enjoying that bit actually - I feel really unfit and unhealthy already.

So we're doing all we can. It may not help but at least we we won't have any "what ifs".

I do love a Clearblue digital eggstick. Expensive but you can usually eek them out for a couple of cycles if you get pant snot and know when ov is imminent.

Me neither imps I am collapsing down as soon as kip in bed, and asleep at 9/9.30. I need to start doing some exercise but with work and all I just have no energy

As you say, no regrets. But this one is looking really good so far

Sounds like your covering all bases, good plan, May as well throw everything at it.
Glad you are having a rest seeing as you are so heavily pregnant!
Agree on the cb ov sticks but I was being cheep haha
keep how are you?!
I was testing around 6pm.
I think the new plan is invest in both Cheepies and cbs so I can test twice a day hour saving the clear blues for when I'm fairly sure it should be smiling at me.
Doesn't help that my cycle hasn't been as clockwork as they once were although thankfully does seem to be settling.

Keep make sure you are doing your pelvic floor exercises. Morning sickness is bad enough without pissing yourself while puking. I was fine with DD1 but clearly hadn't done enough with DD2

I don't know what you mean Pasta - I LOVE pissing myself when I vom

trix I think morning is better

Good reminder pasta! Though no vomiting yet...

trix Lovely to have you back with us. I Think sometimes ovulation can be flipping hard to pinpoint, this month I had a pre-ov scan, positive cb digital ov stick, a post-ov scan and then a blood test just to be sure that I had actually ovulated.

keep I have everything crossed for a Little beating heart on your scan today

imps what time are you being pumped full of drugs? I did :o about you being about to give birth

I'm in at 2:15 for ET, I have dragon socks on today and I made sure there were no holes in my pants! extra progesterone starts after ET

I am in at 10 for the drugs Beedles. Apparently I'll be hooked up to the drip for a couple of hours. I did ask the nurse if it would be possible to crochet while attached but she didn't know. I think I'll take it along anyway - two hours of sitting is a perfect crochet opportunity.

Good luck today lovelies. We are Brookers so whatever happens we will be okay.

ooh 2 hours of ujninterrupted crochet imps you'll have a blanket at the end of that :o

Thanks for the Group hug

Good luck for ET beedle and hope the drugs go in and work Imps.

So, as for me late yesterday Cervical mucus decided to make an appearance, so looks like I will be ovulating in a few days. DH conveniently has today off work so we have a 3 day weekend, so told him he needs to DTD as much as possible lol (small matter of both boys being here which reduces opportunity but he is always tired on weekdays because of his commute so will aim to make the most of the next 3 days lol!)

nice timing loopy that rat will be well smacked!

thinking of you keep

Wow beedle the things we have to do eh?

Gah I thought you weren't supposed to do ov tests in the morning! Why is it all so complicated!
Enjoy your lipid imps I Just used to read or have a snooze cos it does take a couple of hours or so and can get boring.
So have I missed any other up diffed announcements??
