Oh god, "not", not "bony", obviously. I'll stop now before I get any more stupid.

Xpost and just realised it was friend, bony uncle. Sorry.

euro so sorry to hear about your uncle and your dad. It's totally understandable that you're feeling scared and stressed. It's really disconcerting when parents are ill. Can only hope it's not as bad as it seems and that tests come back ok. Hope you feel better for posting and are able to get some sleep and a brighter outlook tomorrow.

Unsettled must be putting it mildly. I can't imagine how scared and anxious you are, and am so sorry you've had the experiences you have in this area.

What is your father doing about it? Is he the sort to go back if the antibiotics don't work? Or does he have to be forced through the doctor's door?

Is KFZK around?

I am a mooncup convert too. I like the fact that on lighter days they can stay in all day. No hassle. I try to use the disabled bog on mooncup days so I can rinse if out but if I can't I just wipe it. I do find I have to use a little bit of lube to get it in though.

I am feeling rather unsettled this evening. I spoke to my parents on the phone earlier. My dad has developed a severe cough out of nowhere. He's 63 and was a heavy smoker for years until he gave up 15 years ago. He already has a mild, controlled form of bladder cancer. I am TERRIFIED. His best friend (like an uncle to me), also a heavy smoker, got a cough out of nowhere a few years ago. After a few rounds of antibiotics, the GP eventually referred him. It was cancer of the larynx. He had his larynx removed and had no voice. He died anyway, in a pool of blood on his bathroom floor. He was found by his teenage son. I have been through my mum having breast cancer and bone cancer in the last few years. I can't deal with this. I am feeling very sad and scared. I am not going to be able to relax until either the antibiotics turn out to cure it (which I hope will be the case but do not expect) or he has every test under the sun and they can't find anything bad. I have a tense few weeks ahead. Meh.

Sorry for the dark post. I just wanted to get that out there.

X posts. I had that attitude today. He's tired from moving all day. 'twas only when I hobbled to the door he realised I was in pain and exhausted from working on the ward! Father Ted is awesome
Dor your mooncup will be stuffed in a cupboard for a while!

Yes to both :) I want to have ICs to fuel the menkul - y'know POAS when droids already here etc. yes mooncups are awesome bugs. I got sore with tampons soon. For some reason there's no sanitary bins at work which makes it a bit tricky to dispose of them! With the moon cup, generally I don't fill it too full but I take a small bottle of water with me if I know it'll be an issue. I even used it when I went camping last year! Generally you can get away with emptying it in the day time and then giving it a proper wash at night. I kept looking at it in Boots, finally bit the bullet. I've really hated using tampons since the fire, will be glad to have a mooncup again :) Plus it costs about £17 and last forever or until you lose it! and no scrabbling for old tampons in bags. Sorted.

I've got hooked into a random Father Ted I've found on more 4 now, bugs. Am too fecked off with everything to sleep.

I love my Mooncup. I still think that is a weird thing to be saying on an internet forum.

Am watching How I Met Your Mother to distract me from CD1 woe. Will see AMNH tomorrow, for soothing cuddles. In theory at least. In reality it will probably be him whinging about how tired he is and finally remembering to ask how I am about 4 hours later.

Internet cheapies, I think?

Right I have finally been proactive. After losing my mooncup and ICs in the fire, I never got round to ordering any more secretly hoping I wouldn't need them and tonight I have. This is it. I'm going to be more proactive from now on! Rah!

Boo hoo not sleeping at home tonight, it's all got a bit much. I had to work on the ward today despite boss agreeing last week that he wouldn't ask me too! and I've come home exhausted. We've agreed there's massive rush. We'll do more tomorrow, I'll finish packing and cleaning over the weekend and we'll do the last push Monday when he gets back.
Currently in Asda Living where he is trying on clothes and we'll hopefully buy a fridge.
There's definitely a silver lining norf, it's just tough to see anything positive on cd1.

At least you know the lowest dose of Clomid works for you Norf, though I know that's not very comforting.

My BF had her 20 week scan today and she's having a boy

Oh well. At least I ovulated. And 32 days is really a quite normal cycle, so, you know, it's not all bad.

Oh well, it's immaterial now anyway, as things are in full and permanent flow.

Norfy my periods on Letrozole were normal. The drugs only messed with cycle length for me (and my moods).

I don't think spotting counts as day 1. It needs to be in full flow to count.
