Uuurgh berries I'm so tired, was up late last night doing a presentation and just drove halfway to uni before realising that in my dozy state I hadn't put it on the memory stick and brought it with me! Idiot! So now I've had to drive 15 miles back home and no point leaving again until rush hour over, so necking black coffee and it's full fat caffeinated so will give my eggs the jitters until 9. BAH!

I'll do a proper catch-up later when I'm not so bleary, just popping in to grumble.

Good luck bunny with your doc today, hope you get an appt!

And hello everyone else! x

barkingtreefrog · 22/05/2013 08:13

kitty I'm not remotely bothered by DP going away now, that was just hormones!! I'm going to get my reports done and some planning. Trying to work out whether there's any chance of getting in a quick visit to my family as well.

Good luck bunny

barking maybe dp going away will give you a chance to catch up on one of your million and one jobs? Every cloud? X

Bunnygirlie · 21/05/2013 22:07

So we have ROR (rug of rage), the SOP (sofa of pity) and the POP (pouffe of possibility) lol

I'm going to ring my docs in the mornings, hopefully get appt to discuss my results and see what the next step is for me!

barkingtreefrog · 21/05/2013 22:04

Will you have to put up with him again next year cats? What did you decide to do re teaching posts?

I can't wait until half term, although our week in the campervan has turned into coming home Thursday so DP can go to London to see Greenday and generally party for the weekend, and this weekend we've got to go and visit his granny in hospital as she's had a stroke Sad . Also, I'm stressing about when I'm going to get my reports written, my planning done for first week back, and my uni work done for this stupid SENCO qualification I have to get.

bunny loving the new abbrieviation haha

No point in going private now, been waiting since feb, just got my hopes up for June but I should have known it would start later. Oh and as nice as she was she kept saying 'the last batch had just been called and you'll be in the next batch'. Quite annoyed that she referred to me as a batch. She did get a nurse to call me but I was with o e of my own patients do couldn't answer.

CharmingCats · 21/05/2013 21:55

That is, shambolic.

CharmingCats · 21/05/2013 21:50

PS. Remember my stupid teacher? Imagine him organising a class trip?! There were two last week. Not sure which was worse, both spectacluar in the absence of any planning!

CharmingCats · 21/05/2013 21:48

kitty that's shit! Is going private an option at this stage? Or will you stay on the path you're on? Iui sounds good, though. Have been reading about it all.....am convinced we'll be going that route or clomid.
Lo, barking looking forward to half term? Been doing small group sats this week. Hate it!

barkingtreefrog · 21/05/2013 21:47

kitty that's really rubbish Sad .
Would you like a cushion to make you comfy on the rug of rage?
gillster I intend to ask if I can see the screen!! Then I'll get the proper results on the 19th June.

kitty I'll hope for a relatively low level of pain/discomfort then!! like I wouldn't anyway

Bunnygirlie · 21/05/2013 21:47

cats reflex is great innit!

thunder and kitty sorry to hear you're on the ROR(rug)

TMI question - when the evil witch visits do you get a few days notice before she comes in full i.e. spotting, discharge, goo etc or does she just come full on?!?

Gillster · 21/05/2013 21:21

You must be so hacked off blindkitty, to have to wait until August is rubbish. I think it's a bit of a postcode lottery on how quickly you get treated. Flowers

Gillster · 21/05/2013 21:13

Barking yes that's what they said but I can't see that they've agitated it that much. There was a small amount of spotting afterwards but nothing to speak of really. I think I will ignore their advice as DH back on Saturday after 3 weeks away plus I reckon I 'll be ovulating then too. Will probably go for the relaxed approach!

It seems strange that they won't give you the results. It seemed to me that they could see straight away whether there were any issues. There were three ladies looking after me and they were lovely and very keen to put my mind at rest. They even showed me the screen. I would just ask, it's not like you've got anything to lose given that you will have already left your dignity at the door! Blush. I took a couple of pain killers about half an hour before so pain was minimal. Good luck!

Thundercatsarego · 21/05/2013 21:00

thundery is the right word bunny! Pissed off with the universe generally particularly with shitty af's arrival.

Good stuff cats and happy

BlindKitty · 21/05/2013 21:00

Barking really? They just told me (rather hastily) on the day. I think if its clear then you just get some period type-pain. However, my friend (the one who was sick) has blocked tubes and said it was excruciating so I think you'd get any idea by the amount if pain you have.

In my news, I called the fertility clinic today re imminent iui and I'm told it won't start until aug Angry. After 2 years I feel like I've been waiting forever!!!! Wish we'd just gone private!!!

Make some space on the rug of rage!!!!

happylass · 21/05/2013 20:55

Evening ladies. Welcome back Bunny. Doesn't seem to be much PIMPing action going on of late. Who's next up? Still waiting to see if I've OVd this month. Had OV pains last night and a very small temp rise this morning so still not completely out of the game Confused
Quick question. Does anyone know what to look for in jizz test results? DP had one about 6 months ago and was told all was well (above average apparently Hmm). Just had the report on paper as need it for my GP but can't make head nor tail of it! Any ideas?!?

CharmingCats · 21/05/2013 20:44

And lo, cd48 nearly over.
Had another reflexology session today - it was great. I do hate my hormones, though.

Big berry love to you all.

Bunnygirlie · 21/05/2013 20:43

Whassup oh thundery one?

I'm now picturing our Berry palace with a massive comfortable sofa of pity, the pouffe of possibility and a red rug of rage in the corner! Plus a large well stocked fridge full of Wine

Thundercatsarego · 21/05/2013 20:38

It's where I'm sat bunny

Bunnygirlie · 21/05/2013 20:29

Here's Bunny

So what's with the rug of rage?!?

barkingtreefrog · 21/05/2013 20:08

gillster was that the hsg they said disturbed your uterus? I thought you were meant to get magically upduffed after an hsg as they've flushed the system for you?!

I got the letter for mine (this Thursday) and it states, underlined and in bold letters that I will not get the results of this investigation on the day.

Guess that's me told then. DP said 'dare you to ask'. Hee hee Grin

Thundercatsarego · 21/05/2013 19:29

And Lo! bunny back! Welcome back bunster.

gill excellent news today, it's great to get an all clear and done action coming up relatively soon that will help.

sid sorry you're feeling Sad. Even though it's frustrating that there are no obvious fixable things found, it is good news to have normal bloodworm and healthy follicles. Honest! So difficult with DPs previous experiences though- I wouldn't cope at all well in that situation.

And Lo tally and feeling a bit better today! Excellent news. If you want someone to Wang, you can belt me with one?

Hi all else! I'm curbing the nonsense today.

Bunnygirlie · 21/05/2013 17:20

I'm back!!! Anybody here?!?

Whassup?!?

Gillster · 21/05/2013 16:41

All they said was that it might be preventing implantation Tallyra Hopefully once it's gone it will be all systems go!
