The Elderberry Pavlovas: sit on the sofa of hopefulness and make yourself a special omelette while prescribing the vomming cat to those that deserve it and observing the lunching of the tactless.

Morning Berries. Hope everyone is well just needing a few words of wisdom at this early hour. As I mentioned yesterday no temp rise for me this month despite a + OPK on cd11, OV pain on cd13 and lots of EWCM in between (this is when I always OV) Got quite upset about this morning and was just about to launch myself on to the ROR. Then randomly decided to PIMP for an OPK and instantly got a very strong positive! Guessing my body is trying again but how likely is it that it'll happen now? And if it does will AF still be due at the same time as usual? Am on cd16 of a 26 day cycle. Am usually regular as clockwork so this is very abnormal!

I dare you boom. Better put the URL too.?
bunny sorry it's been crappy. as I am now almost ready to graduate to the SOP

barking good luck tomorrow and tell us what they say. And share the yummy treats!

And LO I am off to bed. yup still sticking with the LO theme

Hahaha barking I actually nearly just wee'd myself with joy at the Wawa Skittletits one! I am GOING to get that into my essay!

SKITTLETITS, W. 2013. Methods of intra-essay procrastination and their outcomes. [online]

Dare me..?!

barking tell me about it re fb. My friend (the one who has her profile of her bikini bump, who I limited her activity as was too upsetting). Posts on my statuses all the time so I have no choice but to be slapped in the face with it each time!!!

Ah I see barking, hope all is well. Is this the next step after dildocam?

scone congrats, nice to read some berry good news for a change!

Hey thunder might need to borrow the ROR,back at work tomorrow and I know it's going to be hell!

SO funny barking! I love it
Ok you've persuaded me to come yellow brick bumpthwacking with you

Re getting pg and having a mc being reassuring in that it's possible, from my point of view it was to start with. But now I'm in a more disadvantaged and worse state than I started with and dealing with a horrible experience. So yes and no to that one. But I do feel lucky to have ever even had the bfp. How messed up is that!

No takers for the scone party idea then....

barking LOVE it!!! Particularly the bee sting one!!

I'm dashing in and out (carrying my own ROR with me) but just to send sympathy to those who need it and fleetingly suggest we all pile in scone's amazing shop for tea and cake... Let's go!

Evening all, great day today. Oupr tea rooms won an award!!! We won a trip advisor 2013 certificate of excellence given to the top 10% of all businesses on trip advisor globally. So chuffed!!!

In TTC news, temp still above coverline today, now 7dpo AF due in a week so half way through 2ww...

Ooh kitty the 2ww, yuck!

barking Ugh damn fb, I wish I could give it up! 4baby friend just posted pics of new baby, where did the days go when you shared your news with friends before the whole world?!?

Remind me what the HSG is? Hope it goes well!

I agree bunny. Not that I'd ever wish for something as awful as a mc, but after 2 years of trying, i wish i just had sone hope that I might get pg one day. Can you tell I'm in the 2ww lol? I'm clearly no longer on the pouffe of possibility!!!!

Thanks boom Sorry to hear you are feeling as low as me.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have been pg and not ended up with a baby, obviously a few berries have had mcs which must be horrendous, but in a weird way at least you know you can make a baby, does that make sense?

Sorry but no positivity from me, I am a glass half full kind of person

Ah kitty I guess the new docs might be better, fingers crossed!

bunny on the other hand, what if they're better??!! My gp didn't say I had to wait for sa before fc referral. The clinic just dealt with us both

I,m not sure how to do the positivity thing right now, but I can offer you and chocolate instead. well done for getting that handed in though. it sounded like a nightmare getting halfway there and having to turn back!
Sending you lots of hugs too...

Back from my presentation, went ok. Now just bashing out another essay and then - it's DONE, no more work due in for a month or so! Woop! ignoring the fact that the next piece of work is a 10000 word dissertation

Happy keeping my fingers crossed you just missed your temp rise?

Charming How rude! They could have let you know!

Aw bunny sorry the witch got you and you have to shift doctors. At least you'll get to pick your new doc, maybe you could put out feelers and see if there are any particularly sympathetic ones that friends might have? Don't blame you for the , FOUR babies when all we want is one! I'm having my own green-eyed-monster moment. Was feeling reasonably cheerful until I got a text from a friend of a friend inviting me to her baby shower. Didn't know she was diffed. It's very sweet of her to think of me - probably because I invited her to my wedding party last year - but all I can remember is that the last time I saw her I was PG and she was drunk and rubbing my tummy yes, annoying and going 'aaaaw, you're having a baybee, I want one!' And now she's having one. And I'm not.

Quick, someone get me some positivity, STAT!

Hey happy and cats

Grrrrrr cats that is pants!

Nothing wrong with a few white lies happy, my docs think I have been trying 16 months when it's actually 12!

Yep horrid day today, still shattered from travelling yesterday, then first day of AF does not leave me in a good state of mind not to mention the cramps that woke me at 6 this morn grrrrrr

Saw my doctor, she can't refer me till DH has results of his test so i'm annoyed that he still hasn't sorted that out! On the plus side the last bloods I had showed that I did ovulate so that's a relief!
However I mentioned to the doc about changing my address and she now wants me to register with a different doctor, cue tears from me! Felt like a right lemon but I have been at the same surgery all my life and I don't want to get to know another doctor, what if they aren't sympathetic to what I'm going through!

. Sorry AF got you. When's your appointment? I've got mine on Tues to discuss results of bloods I had last week and look at getting referred. Looks like we're pretty much at the same stage there. Although I may have lied exaggarated to GP a bit about how long we've been TTC. Fx things get moving for us here. Still no temp rise and really don't think I'm gonna OV this month. Just when I was feeling really positive too humph!!

Grrrrr....really fed up. Had talked to work about covering a maternity cover ages ago. They said that the teacher hadn't decided. She's leaving at the end of the week and the student she had last term is covering the class!! Found out on the grapevine. No-one had the courtesy to even tell me. Just left me wondering. Ffs.
bunny so sorry about af and your anniversary. I'm only 2 months behind you and feeling very demoralised too. How did it go at the doc's?

It's very lonely in here today

Oh and the evil witch got me this morning so that's a full year of sadness now!

Oh no boom what a nightmare :-(

Thanks ladies, got appt this morning so will let you know what she says.

In other news, my friend had her baby this morning, HER FOURTH!!!!!!! As much as a I love her I am just so incredibly jealous!!! I just want one for starters!
