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

I made you change it! Because I called you bombastic instead of peanut (which is clearly better).

Because I booked yet another stupidly expensive baby making holiday only to ovulate another time, so I'm celebrating with the free alcolihol!

Ha just trying to confuse you merk, I'm Peanut as was. I can't remember why I changed it now, there was a reason I'm sure!

Have there been name changes in my absence??
Why are you on a mission to self destruct?

merk where have you been???? We've missed you!

I'm apparently on a mission to self destruct haven't even got started FYI the little eye mask pouch things on etihad are cool!!!

Oh sorry, hi merk nice to see you! No BFPs since you were last here I'm afraid, we've been saving them up so we can all get diffed together :-)

Hello berries!

Back from my run of nights -phew. Exhausted, now trying to get back into daytime hours. And have had no chance to dtd for the last 4 days which always puts me in a grump as we're now in shag week #2. Actually to be honest I've given up this cycle, I just want AF to arrive so I can book the hsg. Which of course means she'll bugger off for the next two months! I don't really understand why I'm having hycosy, surely if I've had a previous mc I must have patent tubes (at least on one side)? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Also, is hycosy the same thing as hsg?? goosey glad yours is soon, hope it goes well!

Kitty standard AF sense of timing. So sorry she turned up at the wrong time, completely understand your frustration. I hope you're still able to have a lovely time, enjoy the sun and each other and try and forget the babymaking and do loads of frenzied bonking on the last few days x

Thunder sounds like progress is being made, hope you get your dose upped and get to do the ceremonial BFP floodgate opening soon!

Frog boo to the BFN, still in with a chance though so won't send commiserations just yet!

Charming the baby cried as soon as the head was out, without waiting for its body to be delivered with the next contraction. So we had a good 30 seconds of watching a disembodied head blinking and crying before we saw the rest of the baby!

Hello people, any news? How is everyone? Catch me up please!! have missed you all.
I have been absent due to crazy work, plus a bit 'off' at TTC. Shag week at the mo but know getting pg now would be crap as maternity pay doesn't apply unless i get pg after I start my new job in June. Hand my notice in tomorrow on crap current job and then off on hols for a weeks sunshine yey! Any BFP's while I've been gone?

Barking and Boodle - just popped on to say that I've got my date for hsg - it's on Tuesday, cd11. Have also been super lucky in the date of next consultants appointment - Sat 11th - and I've been given a different doctor, who hopefully I'll hit it off with a bit better! Wimwom thanks for the comforting report back on hsg not being that bad!

Charming - is your cbfm second hand? If so I'm sure you've read you need to reset it but thought worth mentioning in case.

kitty I understand what you mean. Try your best to enjoy your holiday. I don't mean forget about ttc, as such, but enjoy the present. Sun shine and drinks and relaxing, or just the change of scene. It will be lovely. Maybe you and DH can talk more once you've unwound. Be kind to yourself x

Blind so sorry you're having such a crappy start to your holiday!

Ok so just started crying in the airport.. alcohol and anger clearly don't mix. Dh is upset that I'm 'giving up' but I just feel like I'm starting to accept it won't happen without assistance. Xx

Oh girls I'm so annoyed! Dh has just understandably said he won't be able to jiac (I even suggested we but some mucky mags for the way home as out Internet won't work on the plane!!!). Ffs what has this ttc lark reduced me to?!!

sid dh hates me drinking on planes... shame it's a free bar......

Don't know how I'll cope without you guys if there's no wifi!!!! Xxxxx

Oh kitty AF is an evil witch. [Angry] I've had some cramps today too but she's not due till Mon at the earliest.

Ooooo, sunshine!!!!
That is all.

ps at AF timing kitty.

Grr for you kitty make those last days before coming home count!!!

oh kitty on your behalf, AF has lousy timing doesnt she.
have a safe flight - and tell DH his job is to keep your drink fresh at all times!

Well af came in the night (pain actually woke me up and stopped me from going back to sleep), which is fucking great considering I'm on my way to Thailand!!! Grrrr! So much for my baby making holiday, going to spend most of it on the blob! Oh and I'll prob ov on plane on way home! Know its the days before that r important but if I ov on the plane I'm going to make dh jiac!!!! Can't believe I've just admitted that! Those preseed applicator must b useful for something!!!

Nearly at the airport, you just know there's a glass of pino with my name on it!!!!

Hope you're all ok, will stay in touch if there's enough wifi xxx

Yes you are absolutely right frog, I am lucky in that I know what the problem is and it seems relatively easy to treat. Will lunch myself in the face when I have impatient petulant thoughts in self pity!

And in the meantime I'll have a bit of that salami. Yum!

15.3 - 4.3 sounds great progress thunder. At least you have discovered you have a condition that they can treat & when fixed I'm sure will result in you becoming spectacularly upduffed.

New thyroid test results are in. Tsh is down to 4.23 (from 15.3 six weeks ago) which is great, but still not quite down to below 2 which is the ideal.
I have a telephone appointment tomorrow and I expect they might up my dose a bit.

So I think it means no bfp on the horizon for me but (clutching at straws) it's still a positive change.

Oh yes and haven't you got a bit of pâté in your bag?

thunder yes! love it - maybe offer her some uncooked cake mixture too (although why you might have some I have no idea...)

Haha. Like your thinking thunder! She's stroppy & emotional at the best of times so don't think anyone will notice any difference from her temperament!

No frog it sounds like fun!

Offer her some Brie immediately.

Sorry about bfn but you are v early....
