Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

Northey - druid is good luck for me at this point...

Oh good. I am glad I've joined the super duper laydees club then! Type 1 ism has it's moments.

Right off to get ready for interview.

Have a fabulous day!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 10:28

Norf fun?!? Yes, the first time (when it was recurring thrush and it showed perfect insides and a ready to pop follie, well before TTC), and maybe the second and third. But really by now...

I don't like it when a) I have druidal visitors, b) I have an inexperienced nurse (cannot find your left ovary, where is it, endless stirring, until I said right, just push a little harder it is there, and hey presto), c) when I need to get to work (which incidentally is always nowadays...

Northey · 19/07/2012 10:08

Oh yes, good luck at interview, and bad luck re druid, CountKagula.

Northey · 19/07/2012 10:06

Dildocams are fun, peeps. Though obviously it would be preferable not to need them at all...

rierie, were they looking for anything in particular with yours, or was it a basic, "oh good yes you have some ovaries" sort of thing?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 10:00

as familiar as most of us here...

I really cannot type today, that does not bode well for the tiny amount of work I have actually done today.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 09:59

Oh and type 1 diabetes seems a good enough reason to feel sad, KAG. Even though I really hope once you get back on the TTC horse, you won't need to try long enough to get as familiar with dildo-cams, hormone injections and doctor's orders to sechs of not to sechs (before my lap&dye we had to use protection, that was WEIRD).

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 09:58

Oh good luck at the interview kag. I landed myself a new job in June, which is handy as my contract is ending (and not renewed) soon.

And faif I cannot read and got your camping dates completely wrong. No idea what the weather will be like in a week's time. It might be snowing. But the drenched fields will have had a chance to dry a little. I am actually quite excited by the thought of going for a decen cycle this weekend. It has been ages (only done one or so far since breaking bones :( ).

KickTheGuru · 19/07/2012 09:40

A spelling error initially but that was actually what I had in mind. Doh!

I have joined a "Diabetics Support Group" (so naf) but they are heading to Brighton en mass on Sunday so we are going down with them.

We are also going to a wedding on Saturday. Hurrah!

I have a second interview today at 12.

And - thanks for all your intros. Most of you have had the most heartbreaking journeys and I feel a complete fraud being in here. I am just bitter and croney in general but you seem to have more reason to be sad than I do! And yet...you are all actually really nice, lovely people. So thanks for inviting me here. I can see it's going to be my saviour... :)

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 09:36

Love the name transformation from droid to druid, kicking. I can see yours as a very small but old man with beard and ancient (woo!) rituals as opposed to my usual attack of tidal waves of blood.

Isn't the weekend going to be fair, finally faif. IN which case camping would be lovely (providing you find a field that is not too soggy/water logged.

For my placebo woo, I think I am going to get a facial :)

KickTheGuru · 19/07/2012 09:25

Morning lovely people:

Foot wooers? Loving this thread and the randomness therein!

CRISIS ADVERTED: Adorable little druid woke up me up this morning but biting holes into my lower and middle back and stabbing knives through my stomach. I killed him dead with lots and lots and lots of fabulous pain killers and came back to bed for an hour until little druid fucked off.

7 days late though! I said to my RR (henceforth name Romping Rabbit - just because has never complained ONCE about humping to get a baby or just to satisfy an annoying groin feeling. Unlike other peoples other halves who apparently bitch all the time!) that maybe it was a chemical pregnancy? Who fucking knows but at least it's not happened.

Shew

FriendofDorothy · 19/07/2012 09:15

You could try this page for foot-wooers.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 08:39

I had my first one at a spa and another in a beauty place that's since closed down. I keep looking at one I found online...

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 08:37

I will be camping from a week on Saturday Confused and we'll have the camper but MSB and I will be sleeping under canvas.

I have feet ishoos too but since I've been nursing I've realised how much worse some people's are and allowed people to touch mine :)

Northey · 19/07/2012 08:28

Oh well yes, I suppose I do, faith [maidenly blush]

How did you foot woo fans find your foot wooers??

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 08:19

The main issue with reflexoflogy of course is that I would need to show them (my poor and battered) feet Wink. Even if it is their job, I don't know whether I can do that to anyone...

Btw I want it to be SUMMER, you hear me, no more rain, no more thunder and lightning. Walking barefoot on the beach (noone looks down), swimming, cycling, generally being happily on hols. None of this will happen soon, but hey.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 08:14

norf don't you mean fiancé?!

lems I know what you mean about placebo effect - Kalms used to work brilliantly for me! Confused I do think reflexology had some validity though because my first session report back she could tell me all sorts from my feet - she knew I was recovering from a cold and that I'd been coughing a lot (my diaphragm was 'tired'), she recognised I had digestive problems....it was uncanny! :)

Northey · 19/07/2012 07:27

Good God, I take a day away for sechsing and the world and his wittily initialled wife turns up.

I'm northey, 34, ttc #1 forever... No contraception since 2005ish, but no periods either, which in retrospect might have been a bit of a clue I should get things moving on the medical front. Trying properly (by which I mean regimented shagging and medical help re periods) since Dec 2009. On Metformin and Clomid, currently, and I had my ovaries drilled last year. 1 ectopic pregnancy to show for it all. Boyfriend is AMNH (A Man Named Horse, after our wild west fred).

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 07:19

Morning beshies, WOW business on the fred, while I was out. I took project BMI very serious too, faif and went for a couplde of miles walk round town in the rain with my logely supportive SB, who then took me to the pub and treated me to vino, which I suppose undid all the walking. But I have a plan. There is a (relatively) cheap gym on the commuting route to new job (starting in August!!) so I'll join that and try to go on my way home whilst SB cooks me dinner. I reckon 3x gymming and my usual weekend cycling and yoga should make the difference...

As for lights, I am like knees more is more. Having said that it does not apply to side tables, of which we have precisely none. So my lamps are hiding on book shelves and on the floor. But I'd say two with decent wattage (I read and crochet a lot, I need the light).

I'd be very curious to hear whether the needles are doing more than just making you cry. I really don't need woo to achieve that and I am reading an interesting book on the placebo effect on my commute at the mo, which kind has scuppered any placebo effect relief which I might get from woo

Sorry to hear your trajectories, oldies ariel and sunny. I can so imagine stepping away when you're on hold, as it were...

Hope AF droid turns up soon Kaginakag. It is weird that it has gone in hiding now, when you are actually getting better!

HaveALittleFaith · 18/07/2012 22:21

sunny it's always nice to see you :) and hear your opinion Wink

shreddie I'm glad overall the needles was good even if you cried! I'm sure you're not the first person!

kickers those blood glucose readings sound good. Let's hope your back on the TTC roller coaster once again!

I've been for a trot round the village again tonight. Yay me and project BMI baybee!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/07/2012 22:09

Buggeroff, I didn't know about your 2nd mc. I'm really very sorry :(

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 22:07

And just in case we were wondering - I started my AF when I was like...9 years old and I am now 30 and I've NEVER missed a cycle.

And the only time I was late, I had a chemical pregnancy.

So my body is well and truly cocked. Which is weird considering it was fine when I was dying?!!! WTF?!

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 22:03

That's of course if I ever get visited by AF. NO idea where it's gone. Even in the depth of all the crap, I still had AF a latest of 3 days late. Am now 6 days late. Crap.

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 22:02

Thanks for the welcomes, laydees.

Lamps: go for it. I love lamps. But we don't have enough tables in the house to house the lamps. Soon though. I think we are going to look for a new place in November / December under some random fucking positive hope that I may potentially be pregnant. Hey look - bless it, it's a complete moron...

Anyway, I plugged my glucose monitor in and it pulled all my stats from a couple days after I was diagnosed and it spat back an average sugar level of 7.3. Which equates to a level of 6 odd %. Which means that I am doing it correctly and should potentially be able to start TTC again at the end of August. I am certainly aiming for end of August anyway.

CamelKnees · 18/07/2012 21:50

Grin at kaginabag

I'm more of a 'more is more' kind of girl in everyway re lamps

We've currently got 3 in our living room and I'd like 1 more... I HATE the Big Light

LauraPalmer · 18/07/2012 21:44

Lamps are good - Go with the low-wattage bulbs, Bugsy
