Brooking NO ARGUMENT that those BFPs are on the way

Not started a new Fred before but hope it is successful for us as we are going to get our BFPs, either by traditional rat smacking activities or using the power of medical science.

Ladies I do declare WE WILL GET THERE - FACT !!!

Mmm chocolate muffins sweetie Lovely new thread :o

keep hope you feel better soon. Though if there's no sign of AF, I'd be very tempted to test again ( what am i saying, I'd have been testing every time I had a wee! ) How long is your usual LP?

Rather lazy weekend here, I really should get out of bed soon :o

Thanks sweetie!
I have no idea about the trigger shot, it only came to me as yet another-- potential problem today... They didn't mention it... I just thought, you can have an lh surge but not ov, so could this be the same?

Muffins,

My period usually comes 16 days after lh surge, with spotting a few days before. I am 17 days past hcg trigger.
Am sure it's just another f*ed up cycle. Hopes are not up.

Welcome soph and pearly. Brooking is the power of positive thinking. This post is not ideal, but the others brook for you when we can't. Tell us your ttc stories. At the moment many of us are starting assisted conception. I had iui this month, TTC 19 months, never a single bfp.

Brooking no argument for BFPs means that we have decided that BFPs are coming and that is that. Fancy explanation

SweetieTime · 27/01/2013 10:09

keep did you just on my muffins? How rude!!!

Pearly we use the old fashioned term "we brook no argument" on this thread as in we will not take no for an answer when it comes to getting our BFPs or bad advice from twunty Drs etc There are other bizarre terminology used such as rat smacking - meaning getting preggers is similar to the fairground game of chance to smack the rat.

Not tested since Friday, no. I can't take bfns, rather wait it out.

I always seem to buy faulty pee stocks!

I could do with some brooking! AF came today after 1st round of clomid. Aged 33, ttc 19 months, HSG 2 cycles ago, DH 3% sperm morphology

Keepingitgoing - did you get your IUI on the NHS or have to pay privately? Seems to depend of where you live from what I can see.

Report
keepitgoing · 27/01/2013 14:30

Hi soph, I think we spoke on another thread re clomid. I took it for a month, but the iui was cancelled due to it giving me a thin lining. Do you already ovulate? It sounds like we are in a similar position. Dh had 3-4% morphology over three samples April to July last year. Having taken a massive cocktail of supplements the last four months, it was just repeated and is now 10! I'll find out what they are.

We are abroad until August, so have insurance. At home they wouldn't pay for iui, only ivf after three years, and they counted 3% morph as 'unexplained'. We are just giving iui one more chance, then to ivf, as iui success rates are so low.

Sorry to hear about af. But welcome, as we say here, to day one of your pregnancy. This ttc lark is tough, but these ladies are lovely.

Ok, these are the ones I can remember
Multivit, general
Zinc
Vit c
Macca
El arginine
Coenzyme q 10
Celery extract
Horny goat weed
Goji berries
El cartinine

These are a mixture of antioxidants, and things to increase blood flow to the area (other side effects too!! Iyswim). We don't know which of these had the impact though, so he's stuck on the lot! He used what ltd scientific evidence there is.

There's something else too, but I can't remember what. Will look when I'm home on Wed.

Oh, and so we are going all find blazing till July, as much of the cost is covered by insurance, and so once we move home it'd either be expensive or we would need to wait.
