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

Morning!

Tally sorry about gate crashing AF, she's so tactless. How long is this visit, can't you nip out??!

That is a while to wait Boom - I don't really know much about pcos, if the large ovary does mean that does it at least mean there's a clear course of treatment?

Cate according to a book I read (Taking Charge of your Fertility) a 10-11 day LP is borderline, may or may not be OK.

But then again if my FC's not completely talking out of her arse which quite frankly I'm not convinced about, it doesn't matter how long or short LP is anyway... Grrr... every time I go to see GP or consultant they seem to say something different not only from everything I've read about charting etc but also completely different from each other!!

Just done a sun dance for you Kitty

How annoying Tally, typical witch!

Quick question for bbt charters, I've only just started temping, yesterday was 36.7 today 36.8.
Is that quite high for pre ov temp?

Oh Tally. Sorry she showed up with typical awkward AF timing

Grr.... will check posts later but just want to rant. Af has turned up whilst visiting other family, 3 days early and my new handbag has no supplies. Going to have to make do until we leave and stop at a services. grrrrrrrrr!

Ooh goosey, sweeties! So glad you got them, fx that they're an instant fix for you

My special pot is the lid off a moisturiser kitty ( should point out that the moisturiser is no longer in use)! Hope the rain stops or if not, GoT is enthralling!

Morning scone, I also have to do work although mine is boring revision and not making yummy morsels! Feel free to share any broken cake with me or unbroken cake

Glad you survived last night bunny and that the bump wasn't too in-yer-face. Baby conversation deserves walking away from!

Right. Off to nurse a red-wine hangover and stare at my books. Blergh.

Hi Kitty no idea about the of sticks I'm afraid, I use internet ones.

What is game of thrones? I've heard a few people talking about it.

My special pot is a child's plastic cup, I thought maybe, just maybe it might have a positive effect!!

Working again today, lots of cake and jam to make.

Oh and sorry to share this, my special pot has had to be a lid off something as don't have anything else to hand on holiday! Usually have disposable cups!!!

Scone it's true, I have an amazing cat! Makes up for her being blind!

cate tell me more about this book. Thinking of taking my yoga a bit more seriously.

Well guys its god damn raining again . Looks like its back to game of thrones again!

Oh and does anyone know if you can still read cb digital ov sticks without the reader (thought I heard someone mention it a while ago). Only gone and forgotten the reader! Xxx

Goosey lol at vomiting cat! Just found empty muffin wrapper on the floor and guilty looking woofer!

The IVF seems to happen pretty quickly after first appointment.
Good friend of mine is updiffed from IVF, first attempt failed but second was successful and all took place quite quickly from her first appointment, but not sure if that was because she already had fertilised eggs frozen. (she had cancer so had eggs frozen before chemo)

Hi Scone, perhaps your dog was showing his disgust at instadiffer facebook activity. Kitty has a cat who will obligingly vom on insensitive friends floors, maybe your dog just got the place wrong!

She said the wait for IVF is around 2 to 3 months from something - now? My first apt with th IVF clinic? Yet again I realise what I dont know after leaving! Anyway, 3 cycles of Clomid prescribed.

Ignore last post, found it!

Anyone know how to show my temps on the chart on ff app? Do I need the VIP one?

Barking ive been told to take the Clomid CD2-6.Could you call and see if they could fit you in a week earlier? - or, if your hsg all clear, maybe gp could be given go ahead to give you the prescription??

goosey sounds like a step in the right direction. Do you know how long the waiting list is where you are?

Knackered. Very busy at work today so lots of baking to do in the morning. Plus younger sister's best friend who got married after us has just added scan picture announcement on Facebook!
Oh and the dog took a dump in the kitchen! (Upstairs kitchen, not shop kitchen!)

[Wine] anyone?

Damn, just lost message!
The important thing about my apt today is the i have prescripton for Clomid in my bag and am on waiting list for IVF. The confusing thing is that fc said short luteal phase is no barrier to successful pregnancy. Does she know what she's talking about?!

And frog, so glad it turned out to be true for you. Weirdly not at all jealous as you've been here with us a while and I have felt your pain! Hope the next few months are not too hard for you... Are you a jan due date? I'm a Jan birthday and its not all bad!

Hey all, just back from hols, not yet caught up. Everyone ok? I'm in the 2ww with nothing to wait for as epic
failure on the sex at the right time front this month

Wow, so much to catch up on!! Thanks to everyone who has said they understand this weekend being difficult, I was feeling like I was being silly, as you say cats I deal with kids all day every day and it isn't this difficult, but when it's all the couples talking about their children and you are the only childless couple (I hate that word) it irks.

yorkie I'd also go for the blunt approach. I've also done the 'we are trying but it isn't happening' but that doesn't always shut people up, they then try and be 'helpful' like suggesting that we should try having sex every other way through the month as you don't necessarily know when you're ovulating. Thanks, actually you'd be surprised how much I can tell you about my cycle. Or the sympathy 'it took us 4 months, it will happen when it's right you just need to be patient'
I'd now tend to go with the 'be careful asking things like that when you don't know what could be happening' as you can make it not necessarily about yourself.

Goosey hope your apt goes well today. Let us know how you get on.

Boom your apt sounds like you got a lot of info to take in. Hopefully when you see the doc in June he has lots of positive steps forward.

scone hi [waves and dives on a scone, yum]

Well AF arrived today which means I had a luteal phase of around 10 days which I take it means I'm in the short camp. I'm going to go back to the doctor but try someone else (after my own doctor made me feel like I was 21, had tried to conceive for like a month and was wasting her time) I'm 38 ffs!! Anyway on the positive side I'm going to have a big glass of wine tonight & eat nuts I'm also out with work colleagues next weekend so I can go mad and have a few drinks then too!
Am off to read my new Mindfulness book and become totally chilled.

scone the ff ap is loads easier as you can jyst grab your phone from your bedside when you've temped rather than log on.

bunny went to get some cash and guess what was displayed right in the middle of the screen? Yup, another baby bump even on an atm screen!!!

Bad food night!!! Ordered crab but they didn't have any shell breakers. Ordered fries so got rice. Sent it back, so got more rice. Finally got chips but they were horrible. Ordered a lime juice but couldn't drink it because they'd put salt in it!!!!

Quick visit while its quiet downstairs. Waves to everyone, hands out scones and runs out again.

Oh ps yorkie enlarged ovaries can be a sign of pcos, although it's only one-sided so I'm not sure what it means! Will have to wait until consultant appt to find out...!
