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.

well that's one big tick in the box for you gil, congrats.
I'm curious, does the polyp cause ant other problems other than benign stopping you TTC? sorry, I'm being nosey here, throw a sausage at me if you like.

Well just had my HSG test which came back clear
Just have to wait for appointment for removal of endometrial polyp. They also said that as they had disturbed the lining of my uterus I should probably wait until next month to TTC. Looks like I'll be lurking around for a while yet!

Oh Sid I feel your pain. I know I'm diffed but I still keep panicking in case it doesn't stick & we don't manage it again so I'm only ever a SM. DP has already made a couple of comments about when his ex was pg re doctors etc at which I totally freaked out. He thinks he's being helpful but I think he now knows to make no comparisons or even references to the last time. He's actually keen that we travel further to another hospital so our child isn't born in the same one as SS which I'm glad about.

For all short LP people there is a girl on the Jan 14 thread who went for a dating scan & found out she had conceived later than she thought on CD18 of a 27 day cycle so it is possible! She was literally about to go to the FC this month after trying for 2 years when she found out she was pg - there is hope berries!!

thank you everyone, I was pretty crap last night, then the internet went down so I went to bed, but you gave me a nice boost to try and be a bit happier today xxxxxx

CBFM shows another high today to top it off I have weird crampy feelings going on which I'd otherwise attribute to ovulating, but I don't see how that's possible, if I haven't gotten a Peak reading yet this month? CD18 so much too early for AF.

All my bloodwork was normal; dildocam showed loads of follicles waiting to mature and that was only back in Feb so I don't understand what's happening. Cycle 11 here and want to crawl under a rock. The other day DH told SD how she'd nearly been given a different name bc he & his exW changed their minds 'at the very last minute'...really hard to get the image of DH in the delivery room with someone else out of my mind when I can't be sure it'll happen for us

I think this is where I ask if there's enough room on the pity sofa for me. Might be more comfy than under the rock.

boom will post recipe for brownie later

puppy you could leave off the flaked almonds and drizzle with icing when cooled

My temp has gone back up above cover line this morning so am keeping my fx it stays up now!

scone could u ice that and make it like a bakewell?

barking well I see your 18 months and raise you another 6!!! Must mean I'm even closer then!!!!

Well opks still -ve but temp gone up so think I might have ov'd on day after all. Wasn't quite sure whether opk on Friday was -ve or +-ve if I'm honest. Hence why now use digital unless I'm stupid enough to forget the reader on holiday

Hospital meant to be calling in June re starting iui. 1st day of af due 2nd June so guessing it will be July now grr. Other thing is dh is going to Glastonbury and guessing he won't do it sober so swimmers will prob be even more rubbish than normal!!'

Ooooh... that sounds dangerous. And yet I think we'd be doing the other berries a disservice if I didn't beg ask you to post it..

Should be fine just use plain flour you could even use ground almonds in the base too instead of flour.

I have a really really easy gluten free chocolate brownie recipe too...

Woot! Thanks scone, that looks like something even idiot bakers like me could manage! I bet that would be fine with gluten-free flour too? (she says hopefully)

boom
Grease & line baking tin, square or rectangular.

I use food mixer.

Base - 1 pack butter, 225g pain flour, 60g sugar.
Blend and spread into tin.
Cook in med oven until slightly golden.

Cover in raspberry jam and raspberries.

In mixer blend 4 eggs, 150g butter, 150g sugar, 150g ground almonds. Plus whatever booze you like.

Plop in blobs on top of raspberries and spread out, cover in flaked almonds and cook until springy!!

boom I make a mean almond and raspberry bake well that would be great with some booze in!

Oooh scone please will you find a recipe for something involving almonds and booze. Almondy cakey goodness will take my mind off essays and wonky uteruses and where the f**k on earth AF has gone...

Oh gawd, I have to stop spending half an hour to write a message, now I've missed a zillion messages..and Lo, most of them are from Thunder

Aaaah thunder it all makes sense now. Thought it sounded spectacularly unlikely!

Your yellow-brick-road-bratwurst-wanging image has just made me snort in an unladylike fashion.

And lo, Sid cannot get comfy in bed next to her DH bc she's annoyed from tidying up after him, but still knows she must DTD in 8 hours lest she continue losing her mind for want of a baby.

Pretty much sums it up! hey this could be fun, you might be on to something thunder!

Evening all, what a jolly atmosphere here this evening!

I've stopped googling low temps and switched to searching for new cake recipes and icing nozzles instead, much more pleasing!

and Lo, thunder realised she talks an awful lot of nonsense so decides its time to go to bed too. But not before flashing her left breast at the shuttle in an act of crude defiance

I think Lo is an underused but excellent expression actually sid - I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. How about we adopt it when announcing here in berrysville?

And Lo sid did do a typo and stomped off to bed.
And Lo barking did befanjo herself with said mooncup.

Argh meant LOL. Time for bed.

Yes, sorry, MC was referring to mooncup, not miscarriage! Should've realized that would be confusing but let my laziness get the better of me!

Prevusly I'd always used a combination of pads & tampons but other the mooncup. Was able to get away with just a pantilinerand the mooncup itself. No leaking - none - I was amazed.

LO I had the same thought about buying it and then needing to change sizes; c'mon Sod!!
