Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

MrsH That chart is still looking good - don't give up hope! Has the nausea developed into a vomiting bug type thing (I hope not for all sorts of reasons ) Hope your DD is ok.

EI I'm really hoping that this lovely relax approached you have is going to herald good things...

PnM Hope you are ok? I'm feeling a bit worried about you today. Hope you are just too busy to get to the pc!

I'm afraid i'm still full of infections (it has spread to both eyes now) if it's not good news tomorrow i'm off to the gp on monday to stuff myself full of antibiotics!! (I will also be stuffing myself full of alcohol) I am cheered to hear that DG got her BFP after cough and cold etc - however, i'm pretty convinced i have probably coughed both embryos out now

Am getting anxious / excited about tomorrow... i can't think about much else TBH. No doubt i will be up bright and early to test, so i will let you all know either way.

Just want to say (without appearing too soppy) thank you all so so much for supporting me throughout the whole cycle. It has been wonderful to be able to offload here. Whichever way it goes tomorrow, you have all made the whole process easy to cope with. Thank you. XXX

MOB one more sleep to go cant you indulge me and do one now??] only joking hun i will be waiting with baited breath in the morning good luck
mrsh i am getting quite excited for you i think you will get a nice BigFatPositive in a few days i think
i think i should be due a visit from AF in the next couple of days so presuming she decides to give it a miss for the next nine months i will be testing early next week
hi there and hello to one and all
xx ei xx

Evening all,

Apologies for not letting you know how my appt went before now. When I got home on Thurs I had a cracking headache and went straight to bed! Worked yest and today and only just found time to get on the net.

Mob I'm so excited for you although very sorry to hear you're still feeling crappy. I can only imagine how nerve wracking this last week has been for you but am keeping everything crossed for you and your family.

Hope you're having a lovely time away Caitni? Sneaky re taking tests with you, really hoping its your month this month!

MrsH thank you for your kind words of encouragement. It means a lot to have everybodies support on here. Its lovely to go through this with you all and know you're all going through similar situations (obv. not lovely that you're having to go through it, just that you know where I'm coming from IYSWIM!). Hope your DD is feeling better and that your sickness isn't a bug !

Love that you had to send your car to the naughty garage Ei! Made me smile! I had to get a new exhaust plus some new tyres and then it passed 2nd time lucky! I'm still loving your relaxed attitude at the moment, need to take some tips from you!!

Well... My appt was a typical NHS disaster, 1st issue was having to wait in the same area as the antenatal clinic - why do they do that??! Secondly, the dr was rude, didn't listen, couldn't really understand her (language barrier), didn't even introduce herself (or the student who sat in on the appt without even asking ). Had to endure an internal (again, student sat in without asking) plus swabs taken (lying there, legs akimbo, and they hadn't even checked if they had the right equipment ready, had to wait whilst the nurse ran off to get it with rude dr & student trying to make 'polite' conversation). Dr didn't even have my notes - luckily I'd had the foresight (thanks to JG, who always recommended taking a copy with you!) to take a copy of my +dh's notes.

The upshot is actually not all that bad. Am awaiting a phone call to book me in for a scan to check all woman bits are in place and have been told to ring them on CD1 to book in for a HSG. Sadly we then have to wait until the 24th March () for our follow up to discuss the results. However, have spoken to my personnel manager (who went through similar with his wife, v handy as understands why I'll need time off! He ended up adopting) and he suggested to get the tests on the NHS and then book a 1 off appt with a private consultant. Sounds like a good plan I guess.

The other good thing was that the head nurse of the fertility team is the lady who dealt with us when I had my mc and shes lovely and went through the HSG procedure with us. Learnt more in 2mins with her than the whole appt with the dr!

Blimey, if you've got to the end of that rant congratulations!!

I'm feeling very flat about it all now. Thought I'd feel better but just feel sad. Need a kick up the arse - somebody tell me how lucky I am really, please?

Hi to all I haven't mentioned by name, hope all our pregnant ladies are ok? Are you enjoying your maternity leave Mibbes?? How are the hiccups JB? If any of our mummies still lurk, hope you're all enjoying mummy life?!

Picknmix at that rude doctor. With any luck you won't see her again. After the HSG if I were you I would call up and ask the clinic receptionists if they get any cancellations (they do - all the time) and see if you can get an earlier follow-up appointment. TBH I would give you your requested kick but it doesn't sound like the clinic was great so I am not surprised you are feeling flat. But really, I do often think that once things get rolling the NHS can be great. With any luck they will pick their game up now.

MOB There is absolutely no need to say 'thank you' - it's been a complete pleasure to hang around with you through your IVF. I really really hope you get your BFP tomorrow. Will you be getting up at 5am, then??!

Ei let's hope your period is taking a looong break. Do you have any symptoms?

News from here? Well, the nausea has mostly gone, and returns only when I eat too much! DD vomited just the once and is now back to her usual cheeky self so any bugs seem to have been defeated by the hardy Happy family constitution. Forgive me for the TMI, but I had a lot of creamy cm today which for me has been a sign in the past so I had a flicker of excitement, and I am really spotty and tired. I just hope it all turns out to be a BFP and not just my wild and crazy hormones.

Oh, and I was thinking today that you know you've been ttc for too long when you see a thread about childminders and everytime you read "CM" you think of mucus. When I saw the thread entitled "I love my cm because" that gave me pause...

And good luck for the next few days ladies. I want to hear nothing but BFPs from all of you.

Not up at 5am MrsH but much earlier! Well, i needed a wee and thought i'd might as well get it over with.

So... i suppose you want to know...

BFP

I NEVER thought i'd write those words! We are shock, stunned, and over the moon.

DH was asleep when i went to the loo, so when i got back into bed i cuddled him, he stirred, and i said "sorry to have woken you up, go back to sleep and have a lovely lie-in, because you won't be getting one in a few months" He woke up pretty quick.

Line came up immediately and very strong, so fortunately no peering at it thinking am i / aren't i. I still have sinisitis & an eye infection, but i have never felt better

Will be back later... we're going to have a celebratory cup of tea.

OMG MOB congratulations ! I am soooo pleased for you missus what a lovely way to tell daddy to be ! Tell him am over the moon for him too ! What great news to wake up to ! Mind you have been up since 4am, miblet is getting me used to sleepless nights already, 3 weeks to go, yikes !

Wow!! Mob I am so happy for you and you family! Like, soooo happy its ridiculous!! Dh says a big congrats to you all as well

Woke up early on my day off esp for that result but 4a.m was a little too early for me so apologies not to congratulate earlier

I have to admit to feeling usually when people announce their bfp but with you it is pure joy for you all xx

Oh wow bloody marvellous MOB. Given that some of us might also need to do IVF soon it's really heartening that you have got your result first time. And (without being too soppy) I have to say that I have really admired the way you've coped with it all. I don't believe for a second that taking the stim jabs is as fuss or side-effect free as you have told us all, nor that the 2ww is as serene and calm as you've made it seem to be. I'm just really really pleased for you and Mr MOB and looking forward to being a cyber auntie again in July (or June if it is twins!!).

Here my temps are very high but I keep feeling like I need to knicker check so am not holding my breath. In fact my chart is almost exactly following my last pregnancy (ectopic) chart. I am 12dpo so I could test but I sort of don't want to know if it's a BFN this time!!

Have a good day everybody.

MOB that is fantastic news am so happy for you x Cant wait to see if its twins

Mrshappy Things are sounding good for you too this month

EI Hope af is still staying away for you too

Hi to everyone else x

Well things are getting sorted, DP is mortified with himself for what he did, it has been a real wake up call for us both and has made us really look at our lives.
I hadnt wanted to admit it but I have been feeling really low for a few months now and my mood swings have been quite bad so I have been to the docs and he has put me on citalopram and we are looking into going to relate to help things along.
We are putting the ttc on hold while we sort ourselves out and get our relationship strong again.

I am on cd 21 and hoping that af arrives next week, obviously if I am pg we will deal with it and make sure we have plenty of support, it certainly wouldnt be the best time though.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!1 MOB congratultions!!!! im over the moon for you and your DH my DH said it is such great news aswell as it has made me from ear to ear and literally whoop with hapiness for you usually with BFP announcements i feel sad and dejected but oh my word were gonna be cyber aunties again!!!!
PnM sorry your clinic were crap!! can you not make a complaint to the trust?? i would call PALs and discuss it with them and demand better treatment not least for the rude way the student just sat in the room without so much as an introduction {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}
mrsH ooo ooo ooo!!! i think you will be our next BFP i really do!!! fingers crossed
not much to report here just hanging around waiting to see whether AF turns up as i have sort of worked out that if i did indeed Ov around cd20 i will be 9dpo and i was visited by AF on 10dpo last cycle so either AF will arrive bang on cue or i have a tense couple of days ahead knicker checking and waiting to test on wed/thur when i am off work
RFN2 im glad you and your DP got things sorted and you have gotten the help you needed from your GP its nice to see you back and i hope you and your DP can start to rebuild your relationship with the right support
hi to everyone else
xx ei xx

Thank you all for the congratulations (and the DH's mentioned too!) It doesn't all feel quite real yet, and it's hard to believe that we may actually be holding our baby next year. I may have to go and do another five test in a minute to convince myself it's true! DH says he wants to shout it from the roof tops, i'm trying to get him not to tell too many people until we have a scan in about 7 weeks, which the clinic offer to everyone as part of the ivf package.

Mibbes i can't believe you only have 3 weeks to go Hope you are resting lots and getting spoilt.

PnM So sorry to hear that the appt didn't go too well. it is absolutely awful to have a student in without being asked. At least you are having further tests reasonably soon - but waiting until March is crazy. A one off private appt sounds a good idea, but it shouldn't have to come to that. I'm not surprised you are feeling flat.

MrsH Glad you and DD don't seem to have a bug or anything. I really didn't find all the jabs too bad at all. It was very little trouble, and i didn't find the side effects bad at all. I really have found the whole ivf cycle fine, i think that as we knew it was the only way we were ever going to conceive, we embraced it.

RFN2 So good to see you, and i'm pleased to hear that you are both getting the help you need and are on the way to getting your relationship right back on track. Good luck.

EI Ooh, i'm getting excited for you as well now... You must test on wednesday as i am away on a conference thursday & friday

Now, come on everyone, i want some more BFP's please! There's no way i'm being the only one this month

Yay, for MOB just had to check in to see the news and I am soo glad. I have a good feeling about this month. I think this will be the first of a few BFPs . I am really really happy for you and your DH MOB I am smiling like a mad woman.grin].

AF still absent here. If she doesn't turn up in the next few hours she is late because I have had a 29 day cycle for most of the months of the last year. The times I didn't it was shorter...It will be a bloody miracle though. One BD, alcohol, fags, no FA, loads of stress at work and late nights....hardly conduicive with a BFP.

Sorry the appointment was so awful PnM. The whole sitting making polite conversation with the rude assistant sounds horrendous. I wouldn't have been able to be civil. I would have been all 'who are you rude assistant? How come you can stay in here without asking me? '

MrsH I think you are next .

Ei or maybe [big lottery hand] it's you!!!

Love to everyone else. If I have any news in the next few days I'll be sure to let you know. [higs].

Or maybe it is YOOOUUUUUUU Bucky. It really does only take the once (I am sure that once I have been pg with just the one shag all month )

Ei It's just brilliant that you don't know exactly when you ovulated - with any luck you'll knicker check for a few days and then do a test and get a completely strong BFP.

RFN2 it's good that you and your DP are talking things through and excellent that you are getting some help to feel more even. Hopefully in a few months everything will be fabulous and you can start ttc again(if you even want to when everything is so fabulous! ).

MOB I am still grinning like an idiot about your news.

Hope the weekend is going well Caitni and that you are feeling a little less flat PnM.

Well, buoyed up by MOB's news, I decided to pee on a stick and, like the stick peeing fool that I am, did it in the afternoon with very dilute urine. There may or may not be a line; frankly it is hard to tell. In some ways I am not that keen to find out if it is BFP (since that puts me back on the scans and ectopic rollercoaster again) and of course I don't much care to know if it is a BFN!! So I will not be peeing on any more sticks until at least Tuesday, when my period is due. Please slap me if you see me sneaking towards the bathroom with an HPT in hand before then!

you know not to test early with anythin other than FMU!! but great that there may be a line if you be a good girl wait til tuesday now to test i will do one with you so we can get syncronised BFPs (or you will get one and i will move swiftly onto cycle 13)
bucky lovely to see you and wowzer your AF is late eh??!![nudge][nudge] you dont think you could be pregnant could you?? i soooo hope you are
hello to everyone else
xx ei xx

MOB OHMYGOD!!!! I am SOOOOO happy for you and your DH . A huge congratulations on your BFP. You deserve it so much. You have put a big smile on my face. I just knew when I woke up this morning that there'd be good news once I got to a computer .

And to everyone else. Sorry for the short post, but not really in the form for MN tonight. I've been spotting since yesterday (am now 10dpo) with plummeting temps so feeling annoyed/depressed/ that yet another cycle is biting the dust. (TMI alert) This spotting is showing up nearly every time I wipe (yet more TMI) when usually i have to "rummage" to find any...Just waiting now for AF to show. Had a great weekend but feeling a bit battered by the whole ttc lark.

But I hope there are plenty more BFPs when I check in again

Oh Caitni ((((higs)))) to you. It's just not fair.

Yes to synchronised testing Ei. First thing on Tues morning (assuming my temps are still up, otherwise I won't waste the pee stick)!

I am completely exhausted today. Even my DH has noticed and has asked whether there is something he should know. The last time I had a nap in the day I was up the spout so we're crossing fingers here. And with that I am off to bed.

Pah. I think I am out.
I've started cramping, my cervix feels a bit open and just had a pinkish wipe.
Am strangely disappointed. You'd think I would be used to this by now.

MOB

I'm so happy for you! That is just such fantastic news. I've been thinking about you all weekend but have been unable to get on MN has we've had family visiting. I'm so so pleased for you.

MrsH I'm sorry you think AF is on the way. If you are not due yet then at the risk of sounding annoyingly optimistic, it could be implantation perhaps?

PnM What a dreadful appointment. Your boss sounds like he would be really understanding if you managed to get a cancellation at short notice. Going private for one appointment sounds like a good plan though.

Ei LOL at gathering the ladies together for a group hug! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow.

Bucky How lovely to see you. A late AF and no testing! You must have nerves of steel . Seriously, I'm willing like mad for you to get a BFP.

Caitni I'm sorry that you think you are out this month too . It could be implantation, it happened to mibbes. She was convinced she was having her usual spotting and then got a BFP. I want you all to get BFPs so very much.

Thanks for all your good wishes for me and Jollycub. I was wondering if the hiccups would carry on after the birth mrsH, sounds like I'll have a hiccupy baby like your DD!

This thread sounds like there is at least one more BFP to come in the next few days, Ei, Bucky, MrsH... who will it be..? Ideally all of you . Like JB says, you never know MrsH, maybe imp spotting...

JB My baby has started having hiccups about twice a day, so another wee hiccuper over here !

I'll be keeping a close eye on progress here and crossing everything for everyone waiting to test...xxxx

MrsH . I was so hopeful....

Just dropping in quickly because confusion reigns in the Bucky household today.

TMI Alert...yesterday evening I though AF had arrived. I had no cramps or anything just got some brown discharge and figured that the was the start of AF. It was a bit more than spotting, maybe a pantyliner amount (sorry I did say TMI) not a pad, just a pantyliner...Anyway, that was it...then it just went. I went for my day 2-4 blood test today thinking this would be day 2, but half the day has gone now and still nothing at all? I have a day off today so I have been busy, and I am sure that she will show up later, but I am a bit bamboozled...I am trying not to get my hopes up, but the only time this has happened before was the one time I was pg.

Surely this is too late to be implantation . I don't have any tests and I don't want to go out in the cold and rain when she will no doubt turn up proper as soon as I return with the test!

Arg! Bucky if you were in the office I would run round to you with a FR I happen to have in my bag!!

How confusing (and also exciting)

Any sign Bucky?

I don't want to get your hopes up but implantation bleeding (if you get it - I never did) does often happen around the time your period is due.

As for me, I have mild cramps and spent some of the day feeling sick. No more pink, which is something. Not sure what is going on but I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Nope no sign at all. I'm a bit freaked out actually....I don't want to test in case its a BFN . I lost a lot of weight this month and have been pretty stressed...maybe its that?

I guess I'll get a test in the morning on the way to work.

What if its not a BFN...all the alcohol and general not looking after myself. I have been spinning at the gym like a mad woman...

Oh it would so be sod's law!

Bucky stop that right now!
If you are pg, drinking and going to the gym will not have made any difference - the bean would not have been implanted for long so hardly any time to soak up the gin!
I tend to believe that if my body "should" get pg (i.e. it will all be ok) then I will get pg. If you get a BFP everything will be fine.
Anyway, you should worry about this later when you've tested!
Can you not get your DP to nip to the 24hr Tesco now???
It would not be sod's law at all, but would come under the Law of Pregnativity. In this case, sods law + (alcohol x fags)/1 shag only = triplets.

I am still feeling sick but my boobs no longer hurt and I have had quite a lot of cramping today. I know taking temps at times other than first thing is hardly scientific, but it is really high (37.1) so I don't think the progesterone has fallen off yet. I want to test but I also don't want to IYSWIM. My chart looks great so I am going to be so flipping disappointed if my period shows up and will cry all over the thread...
