Quick waves, I am too knackered to write properly. Luffs to all!

Yes can you find a naicer school alwyn? You must have done ok to pass your training?

I am on the mend fizzster. Back to work this morning. Absoutely shattered now. Probably shouldn't have gone back so soon but hey ho. Tucked up in bed waiting for MSB to return home. He'll be shattered after a long day. Nothing exciting on the ultrasound of kidney so assumed its infection. Did try to have sneaky peek at baybee but I peed too recently!

The 'infection' doesn't have to be from the sechsy stuff you know fizz. At least your GP is looking into it. Sad about your needles lady though!

Work shittiness is tough, alwyn, particularly when it's tied up with ttc plans. Have a shoal of langoustines tipped over you head

faith how are you doing with your kidney pain shiz? Did you have any feedback from the ultrasound?

I went to my GP today about the mid-cycle pain and early spotting. She's referred me for a load of tests to rule out infection - I did try to point out that I've been with the same partner for 7 years and had all the tests before, but to no avail. She also advised that I stop the acupuncture to rule that out as a possible cause. So then I went to the acu lady (they're next door to each other) an told her. Felt like I was breaking up with someone! She confessed herself stumped by what's going on. So there you have it, I'm a modern medical mystery.

Thanks for the info about the pregnacare, bugs. I think I'll stop taking mine, as have a very healthy diet anyway, and see what happens.

Heh@"special snowflakes"

Maybe you do need to try a different school where the kids are "easier"? That place sounds pretty tough for an early assignment.

Thanks for the haddock slap and other un-BESHly comfort. I think a lot of the work stress is because I don't know what's right!!! I don't know whether to stick it out and try another school, or just jack it in!!

And the kids in the class are INCREDIBLY low ability. They are definitely special snowflakes. They have the social skills of 11 year olds but all the hormones and vocabulary of the 16 year olds they are.

I'm feeling a bit better (much better day today!) but still a bit miz.

bugs my scalp and nails have gone to sh1t since I stopped taking the Pregnacare. I'm going back on them.

Jethro I'm a bit like that - my libido is definitely stree-related.

Alwyn I hear you on the work stress. You have my sympathies. I reduced my hours earlier this year because I wasn't coping with work. It took me over a year to realise it though. Work isn't everything despite what we are told and there is more to life than a successful career. I am much happier albeit poorer now than I was this time last year.

SSG sex drive is completely related to work stress. On holiday - he initiates every day. When he's busy or has problems at work I might as well be a nun.....

al, you poor thing, what a miserable day!

Is it teaching itself that you think is wrong, or just this school? Or was it just a really unlucky class to be observed?

God Alwyn, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was a teacher and there really is nothing like it for stress. If it all gets too much, then there are other options - remember that, and keep hanging on to it. You don't have to do it.

Have an unBESHly hug.

And a slap in the face with this haddock.

Oh alwyn I'm sorry it's so tough for you. Did you have a tough time when you were training? Or is it since you qualified? I think you're ok in venting here. When you are/want to TTC and have life problems, there's few places you can really express how tough it is.

Interesting change of events in our house - I nearly always initiated when trying to win a baybee. Sometimes it was tough because of the long period where he rebuffed me before he'd had his diagnosis. Now I'm diffed I'm not that fussed about having the sechs (must be the hormones!). Now that he's got over the fear of 'breaking the baybee' er yes he has been the initiator

Muchos sympathies for the head spinning gunk.

I'm another one who almost always has to initiate. Meh.

alwyn sorry for the work crappiness.

I'z here too. Had shit observation (am dreading the feedback as even my luffly and supportive mentor said it was crap) and am starting to dread coming into work. Debating whether to get myself signed off with stress and jack in the job.

I know that would put TTC back for AGES but I just can't honestly see me surviving this term, never mind the rest of the year if diffed. May slit my wrists with a broken gin bottle before getting diffed.

Sorry for the really negative post, I just REALLY need a whinge. Am applying back to be a dreaded accountant (in a company this time, not a firm) so we'll see how that turns out.

10 days till I go back, fizzy.

I iz here too. And also trying to post less, after my mammoth month of me-ness.

frankel, I always have to initiate too! Even if AMNH has suggested earlier in the evening that we do it later, once we are in bed it always seems to be down to me to make the first move. Drives me mad as well.

Soz about the gunk, both of you.

Oh! Now I haz killed the fred!

Btw bugs why did the doctor say to stop the pregnacare vits?

Good idea with the wine, bugs. GFBW is away tonight - it's ok to have a glass of red on your own, isn't it? I have fears of becoming a mad old gin-soaked lady who mutters to herself... Oh hang on, that's me already!

More random spotting today on cd 20. Plus pain that feels like my ovaries are the size of marbles. Plus I'm so busy at work that I can't find a moment even to ring the doctor, let alone go to an appointment

norf how much longer do you have before you go back? And can you do a mind of phased return so you're not exhausted in the first week! Similar question for you, lemsip - can you scale back for a couple if weeks at all?

Whilst being happy and supportive, I mean.

Unless you are miraculously re-diffed by then, in which case I would only be able to cough with despair and rage at the sight of you, of course.

Where do you live now, lemon? If its near me and you promise you are not weird and awful in real life we could share our woes with a drink after work one day. (Notice I'm making no promises about my own non-awfulness)

Both norf. Scan to check the womb is clean, bloods to check the hcg is gone (although, if there is an egglet lurking, which I really hope by then, they might not do the bloods).

Yorkshire meet - not jealous of a) meeting and b) living in one of the best bits of the world! Honest :)

When I'm back at work, bugs! A good reason to get back soon, I think. You will be my first BESH.

Good luck for Friday, lemons. How do they check?? Scan? Blood test? I've got my next one on Saturday.
