The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 6+months (preferably 12+) NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

HSG done and dusted. Everything fine. Back to consultant now, hopefully for referral for IVF.
Tiger HSG was fine. Just a bit of pressure and cramping.Nowhere near as bad as I'd expected. Hardest bit was getting the gown on!!

tigerdog · 22/01/2014 09:00

oh no feather what a nightmare indeed!

hope the HSG goes ok happy. I'm waiting for my appointment to come through at the moment - can't say I am looking forward to it though!

a heap of good luck for you pip, hope all goes well.

My sister is only 27 and has three children, the oldest being 11 next month. She got pregnant when she was 15. By the time she is my age, her son will be 18!

Af arrived in full force this morning - a day late just to give a glimmer of false hope. Sad

Good luck today pip!

And you too gill - I've had two and going for my third soon. Not pleasant but was expecting so much worse!

I'm having a disaster zone of a morning. Caught the train going in the wrong direction, didn't realise for three stops, got off, no train going back there, no taxis, nothing. Am now standing at a bus stop in the rain, should have been at acupuncture 15 mins ago. She'll charge me £60 for missing the appointment anyway. Argh!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about the HSG Happy. Thousands of women will have had this without any issues and therefore not posted anything on Google. Take a couple of pain killers about an hour before, leave your dignity at the door and it will be fine. It's actually quite interesting.

happylass · 22/01/2014 07:50

Good luck for today Pip. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Off for my HSG in a bit. Should have stayed away from Dr Google and the horror stories though Shock

barkingtreefrog · 22/01/2014 07:10

pip Shock .

Good luck today, and enjoy your days off school! Grin .

Pipbin · 22/01/2014 06:58

Thanks Glister

Boodle and Barking, my cousin who is a year older than me is a grandmother.
I'm just going to leave that there.

Gillster · 22/01/2014 06:26

Good luck Pip for today. Keeping everything crossed for some sticky embies. Xp

BoodleDoo · 21/01/2014 23:15

Barking, I feel like that with my cousin, who had a child at 16. Now he's nearly that age himself. I swear to god if he fathers a child before we manage it...!!!

barkingtreefrog · 21/01/2014 22:25

Buckle up rp! Grin I've just got a new bag of opks ready to hopefully see ovulation at some sensible point this cycle!

I saw a photo of my best mate from school today. I didn't realise the 'women' with her in the photo were her daughters!! Her eldest is 16 this year. Feels so strange that her first child will leave school before mine is even born.

RevoltingPeasant · 21/01/2014 22:07

So I have spent this evening using up old fruit and veg by making cauliflower cheese, extra bechamel sauce, and banana bread. Kitchen looks like someone massacred a wheel of cheddar and a bag of flour in there, but DH pretty happy Grin

CD11 so going to have to start dtd in a day or two - eek!

My acupuncture lady mentioned agnus castus to me but decided in the end I shouldn't try it. Not sure why so not the most useful story!

Quiet you say? Tum tee tum!

barkingtreefrog · 21/01/2014 20:47

Parsley plenty of people try the angus castus for short LP. I was going to try it but by the time I'd given the vit b6 a go it was time to start the clomid. If it was me I'd keep taking it! Grin

Boodle & Bunny I know! It's so quiet in berry HQ at the moment! Shock

Parsley2506 · 21/01/2014 20:29

bunny I've long believed Tuesdays to be the shittest of all the weekdays! Too far from memories of previous weekend and still ages from the next one!

I hope everyone is feeling a bit better today, it was definitely a blue Monday.

Period back with a vengeance today. My post MC cycle seems to be 31 days now instead of 29 so I think we mistimed DTD this month. Getting the old OPKs back out for Feb! And, lucky me, a smear test before then too, woohoo!

Quick q, am I being a 'tard by self-prescribing agnus castus? I took it on a whim the month I got the BFP and am now convinced it's the snake oil of my pg dreams (although it didn't work this month!). Can't really find any hard stats either way for its effectiveness/safety/dangers during ttc?

pip masses of luck and FXing for you for tomorrow!

Weird how so many of us are Jan/Feb birthdays...

feather sorry you are feeling low too, don't disappear though, berries are here for good and bad and whining Wink

barking yay to the march appointment, FX there isn't a waiting list in your area. Booooo to the injury, hope you are back in your trainers soon.

RP funky Yesterday Ifelt like I had a touch of the itchy bitch and I quite often get a touch of thrush a week before AF so I am assuming that's it a good sign.

feather another jan/feb birthday, this seems to be quite common amongst the berries!

I know I need to forget about that and be positive again, I'm trying! Tuesday is the worst day of the week though so maybe not much positivity here lol.
