The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Morning all! Definitely the right decision to call in sick. Walking is rather challenging. I did get my pain under control with the top up painkillers but I can't work on that - it's liquid morphine! I'm going to ring the secretaries after 9 to see if I can find out with my urology appointment is going to be. GPs don't know what to do with me do they're not much help!

Good luck queenie! Definitely a good sign that you're feeling sicky and exhausted. What time is your scan? I'll be putting in a good word with Him upstairs too!

I'm sure the first one is the toughest euro. Sorry you have to face the reality of it though. Meh indeed.

How annoying cavey! Let's hope the pains are predictive of ov in the next day or so.

Morning everyone. Good luck with the scan Rollo, sickness def sounds like a good omen

Faith, sorry you are feeling so rotten. Did you have any joy with a Drs appointment?

Still no ov here. Got my hopes up as I had a few stabby pains, but temp still down this morning. We did the sechs last night and HWHNN can come back either tomorrow or Weds to get a last one in before he flies off on Friday.

Poor faify

I've just done my first downregging injection. Meh.

Ouch. Just, ouch :( called in sick. Can't be a hero any more!

Yes I believe the words 'No don't waste the sperm' have been uttered in our bedroom

euro it's good that you can be positive about the injections. I do get that feeling of your body not being good enough to win a baybee on your own. I get that's how you feel and I won't try to convince you otherwise. Keep your eyes on the prize though...that's all we can do!

Now I'm about to go and explain why we've done a crap job of educating our yoofs this year and that we don't want to carry on. Epic fail :(

Heh. It was a chocolate orange cake. It's a Nigella recipe. I've made it before. It uses marmalade for the orangey bits so it's nice and moist. It was a big hit. KFZK made a lovely main course to go with it for a Father's Day lunch. So we had that and then headed over to Canary Wharf for the MotoExpo to look at expensive bits of shiny metal. It has been a busy weekend after shooting all day yesterday!

My buzzwams are swollen and tender faify. But BFN. Sigh.

Norfy I'm feeling ok about the injections themselves. Needles don't bother me. I still feel like IVF represents failure for me though. Why won't my stupid body work? Hopefully the head dr I am seeing next week will help with the mentalling.

I sympathise with the swi comment. Who'd thunk sexy time could ever have become such a chore?

Cheers on cavey's egg. Come on, get cracking! This is no yolk! (You can all groan now).

Well, well done for those who managed the sechsing this weekend. Sorry to hear there's no obvious ovulation yet cavemeister :(

Not the most romantic phrase ever norf! Did you enjoy the walk?

bugs I do have the cheapy stuff but will try to hold off testing for at least another week I think. Not at all menkul well maybe a little bit

I've got to wait until my appointment with the consultant on 10th July to see what happens next.
I do have one set of Clomid tablets left and the nurse said they wouldn't stop me from taking them if I wanted to, but that there would be no blood tests available to confirm ov.

Finally managed today's shag before AMNH had to leave apparently saying "if it's not going to work, let's just leave it" was not helpful

Now off for a fathers' day walk.

cavey, this was the Clomid fuck up cycle, wasn't it? Any news on what drug they are going to try next if this cycle ends in droid?

Ooo, several promising menkuls going in I see [tweaks. Nipples all round]

Day 36 and still haven't laid my egg [sigh]. HWHNN flies out to Dubai next Friday so the bloody ovaries need to get a move on! The OPKs have reverted back to pale, without ever reaching positive and the pant snot has disappeared. If I wasn't temping I'd have thought I'd laid it by now, but as you can see from my mountain-range-like chart, I haven't!

And me. In fact, better just make two.

Oh didn't realised we'd x-posts! Quite nice to have a cycle buddy good job we're online since I'm holding three hands now I did a quick squeeze of the buzzwams, they are tender.

Mmm save me a slice of cake euro!

How are you feeling about injections, euro? Good luck.

Also, what cake are you making?

Actually norf buzzwams feel a bit bigger and heavier but not very tender like normal. Ah well who knows?

Frustrating about the unclear signs norf. What day was the pant snot? Wednesday? Mine usually comes a couple of days before I lay my egg so maybe you hit the right time anyway?

Today DSis has booked a meal for Father's day so we're off for that. I can't get to my church service and back in that time so I'm going to see if I can go with Dad- his is opposite the pub we're going to. Then quiet afternoon before a meeting about the youth group we run to explain hue it's been a disaster with the fire and then me being ill!

Morning ladies BESH,

How are we all?

Faith we are cycle buddies. I'm also 8dpo today. I am also getting lots of creamy pant snot. And I have very swollen and tender buzzwams.

I had a really vivid dream last night that I got a surprise BFP. I tested this morning (super early but as I start the IVF drugs today I was planning to anyway) - BFN, of course. So I get injecting later.

I'd better stop MNing now and get baking. I'm making a cake for my dad for Father's Day.

Sounds interesting, faith. I had excessive pant snot last time and all. Anything else going on, eg in the boob area?

Good luck to rolypoly and bugs for scans this week.

Based on last cycle, I should be ovulating this weekend, but I have no bastard symptoms of it at all! I have generally had sensitive nipples, but nothing at the moment. And AMNH has come down specially for emergency sechsing. Gah. I hope it wasn't earlier this cycle, with that random pant snot day. Will try to fit in another shag this morning, before he heads off.

What are we all up to today?

I'm not too menkul since using OPKs. Gives me a sense of control without fuelling obsession. Just keep seeing it when wiping and thinking gosh! I've had too many disappontments to get too hyped up. Does worry me that my pains might actually be gynae. Nothing showed on HSG but that's almost a year ago now and pain started in March. Ah well, will distract myself with ironing and '10 years younger'!

I'm nervous but potentially excited for you both!
I designed those wardrobes and had them made :) I was so happy when I knew they were ok! Nice to have that much space so it's not too cramped. I feel better for getting it done!
In TTC terms I'm about 7dpo and getting buckets of creamy pant snot. Unsure if that's significant?!

I'm hoping too luffly! The think the fact you feel the same is encouraging
I'm well proud of myself. I was up early to get my eyebrows done (simply can't manage the unruly things myself), walked there and the long way home to get some exercise and have sorted my bedroom - friends on t'other place can see before and after pics! Unpacked about six boxes and it looks brilliant! time for a sit down and a cuppa!
