The Elderberry Pavlovas, sausage bouquets, one giant sofa and the Gü pots of destiny! (thread 9)

I'm gonna give it a go Yorkie!! AF due next week and virtually no hope for this cycle but gonna leave it til then to start my campaign make an appointment.

happy that's rubbish. Can you not just book an appt with another doc and tell them that your prev doc said she would refer you? Hopefully then they won't go back on what she said.

Hello all on this lovely sunny day! How are you all?

frog ooh keeping fx for you for a darker line over the next few days.

bunny enjoy your day off.

thunder brilliant that your levels have come down so much. Did you say you've got a phone call with your doc today?

In my world my DH is hopefully ringing up for his results from his sample today. I'm v nervous. I'm meant to be going for blood tests next week but I haven't ovulated yet and now worried that its not going to happen this cycle and my body is well and truly screwed up!

I went to a learn to crochet course on wed to try and escape from the stress of ttc and the only other lady to show up was pregnant. FFS!!!!!!

Just found out that the lovely sympathetic GP who I saw about the lack of BFP in January and who said to come back in May and she would refer me early has left the practice. Humph!!!

Morning berries! Isn't it a beautiful day? I'm all excited about my anniversary picnic, and it's sunny so I'm going to move it to outside :-) Squeeeee!

Frog oh I hope you're right! Don't go too cross-eyed squinting at lines, hope you get a definite yes over the next couple of days or just don't drink anything all morning in the hope of tricking body into producing more fmu-standard wee

Right, off to have a quick yomp with the dog and appreciate the fact that I'm awake during daytime hours again!

Arrgh just typed a really long post then and lost it all. Stupid bloody iPad!!
In brief, sounds promising Frog, fingers crossed!
Welcome back Merk. Great to see you .
Hey Goose on cycle 9. Had basic progesterone test and DP had jizz test. All good there on both counts. Going back if no luck this cycle!
Gotta shoot, am running late! Have a great day Berries!

Frog I'm crossing fingers for you too! Hope you can distract yourself over bank holiday - have you got plans?

Happylass I never really replied to your reply about weddings! I know I announced in my first post that I was engaged(!) but I actually couldn't think about it right then, as was a) feeling totally shattered by consultant's appointment that exploded my carefully constructed self deception that I would eventually conceive naturally and b) me and DF were arguing about DTD (god isn't it meant to be enjoyable??) Anyway, having recovered my balance somewhat (quite a lot due to seeing other berries welcome the idea of Clomid and mention successes) I'm now starting to enjoy the idea of wedding coming up! I am rooting for you to get one of the next BFPs so that amongst other things you know whether you're looking for a tent or a wedding dress for next August. What is your situation, have you had tests etc?

Oooo frog sounds good...!

Frog, so so excited. Welcome to the real craziness where you now stare at that stick every 2 mins in different light and pee on every other stick in sight at every opportunity. Fingers and legs crossed for you

And bunny, I completely sympathise. I've been married longer than anyone else but I have my suspicions that cousin no 2 is going to announce soon.

Oh frog, fingers crossed for you... Don't get too obsessed, it might be a few days before you get a better result. Hugs!!!

Morning all. I pimped this morning as I'm a sucker for punishment an eternal optimist & I may have a very VERY faint line... I don't think it would come out on a photo but I've compared it to some OPKs I kept & I think there is something there.

I'm not confident enough that its not a figment of my imagination yet so haven't told DP. I got upset by a text from a friend last night telling me she was pg (& probably been TTC about same time as they got married end Sept) & he called me obsessed.

Mornin Puppy I've jumped on this thread recently - nice to 'meet' you.

Just been thinking about Kitty since I logged off last night and hoping your pino splurge stopped being anger inducing and started to lull you into a holiday mood. But I've been there before, not always a good way to great Aunt Flo! Hope you have a really good holiday, can really put things out of your mind for a couple of weeks, and probably that there isn't wifi there!

morning all. just checking in. cd21 here! tick tock.

hope you have a good holiday despite af kitty
long weekend ahoy, yippee! I'm out tonight for yummy food and wine, hope you all have a good weekend

And tally how crap somebody would email that!! I am that somebody would ever think that was a good thing to do. Poor you.

Yes tally I started 6 weeks ago but was only a temp contract for 6 months and nobody mentioned my boss was a nutbar til after I joined

Keep us posted goosey I've still not got to O yet, I've never wished away a cycle so much!!

kitty please try and enjoy your holiday , Thailand is gorgeous!!! I know how overwhelming it can all be though, and sometimes it's actually worse when you're on holiday and don't have work to distract you.

and I started writing that and then went to run a bath so completely missed the boom kitty sagas....

new job merk, didn't you just start it or am I thinking of someone else?
To give you a recap for me might take a while, but basically I had a crappy day on Tuesday as colleague emailed all the girls in the office to tell them to shh about babies with me after I asked her to mention to them I was feeling bad. cue everyone being overly sympathetic and far too nice. I usually feel that ignoring it is much nicer than people ahhing all sympathetically.

Thighland?! Lucky you kitty. 'twas the scene of my messy hen do!

Aaah no Kitty, you called me Boombastic which we all agreed was a far better spelling and then we all had it stuck in our heads for days

Hope the freebie booze is cushioning the AF blow a little. I have very fond memories of Thailand...hmm..and a well-muscled Swedish diving instructor called Jonas... AHEM but those were in my naughtier younger days before Mr Boom!
