The Berries: The one where The Berries cease to exist after a spate of waxy knicks and a'hem seepage (thread 20)

I definitely post more than I talk about! It's so much easier to type to people you don't know than talk about difficult things with the ones you care about - I did try this afternoon with DH whilst walking the dog but it didn't go well.

To be honest Barking I have such cold hands that I just used then to numb the area but tbh I think location is definitely a factor; I don't know about the others but I found that the closer I got towards my belly button, the more it hurt. Also loving the story about the door.

Hope everyone is enjoying Eurovision; celebrating with a couple if glasses of red while I can.

Rp its the expression on the removal.guys face. Hehe

I agree re sharing. Such a relief to be able to without terminally embarrassing self or.others

Yes Nolly, many books! We are seriously considering building an extension in future for them. I am very lucky, my whole job is talking to bright young things about books and writing my own also sodding office politics, but never mind

Funky I normally OV CD16 or 17. Didn't know that about the steak-eggs. Argh, yet another thing to worry about!

Thanks for the reassurance on jizz shootage/ motility. We tried preseed once and DH really hated it. Maybe I can shoot it up though. Don't think EWCM is a problem though.

Does anyone ever find themselves typing things on here that you never in a million years thought you would share with a bunch of strangers?

Interesting re b6 funky. I get 2-4 days spotting too. May try it this month and see

Also re late ov (sorry for.hogging) do you guys have varying lps? According to ff mine varies between 13 and 16 days. Dr Google diagnoses.medical freakitude.

Full stops! Jesus

Impressed with all the diy Rp and barking. My Dp is equally impractical - where the 'handy man' stereotype came from god knows.

I ovulate on day 17 funky. Not heard of steak-tough issues though. Surely refers to very late on eg cd30+? Let's hope so anyway.

Laughed at dream beaky! So random. Academic.jobs - often sound.interesting, usually in reality a mixture if.office.politics and administration like.most things I imagine. Still at least you can wear pj's and.no.one.would bat an.eyelid. RP you get to read lovely books! Brilliant. Health pol V dry at.times.

Really jealous because! Hope it tips the balance for you. Pt is my dream.

Hope stabbings goes ok.for you barking and thinking of you lady...

Waves to everyone else! Sorry for all the. Fullatops, my phone is stuffed

rp ditto the above, but you can always stick your legs up the nearest wall too to be sure it's headed the right way!

Off out for Eurovision fun at my bestie's tonight - let's hope we don't get nul points again!

RP, as long as you've got enough stretch cervical mucus for the boys to swim upstream, I don't think it should be a problem!

I do! Lately it has been CD19. My shortest cycles are 31 days, which would mean CD17 as I'm pretty sure my luteal phase is 14 days, but if I'm stressed or a bit tired, it will happen later or even not happen, and that's when I get the mad 40+ days cycles.

Hope you are all having good Saturdays! Am exhausted having been painting since 9 am - first prepping the area including stripping off lots of gloss paint and then doing undercoat and first coat. The first coat looks a bit glutinous and patchy so I'm hoping it actually dries okay.....

We dtd last night (CD14) and all well, except DH said he was not sure how far up it went. Argh! Apparently he has often had that concern. Is this something I should be worrying about? Fucksake.

funky snap!I was just watching 'a family of my own' too. I find it amazing how fantastic and giving the foster parents are. The gay couple last year were amazing too. The programme makes me feel sad though because of all the failed Ivf treatments and all the heartache you know these couples have been through. As much as I admire them and it does put adoption in a positive light, I don't think, at the moment,it's something I could do. Dh would not be up for it either. I think for now, if Ivf doesn't work then it'll just be us and that's it...and maybe a nice ginger cat.

My dh sent me a link to this article. It's pretty amazing what people will spend on Ivf.

I never bothered icing either, found it the same as boodle some days a bit ouchier than others. Seems a bit of a distant memory now. We pretty much stayed close to home so never had to worry about doing the jabs elsewhere. The times we did go out I either injected before or when we came back.

barking your door story made me laugh, sounds exactly like the kind of thing that happens in our house!! My dh is currently battling the elements trying to refelt the shed roof, he is also rather grumpy! I think I may just go and do my planning to be out of the way. Eurovision tonight yay! I really like our song and have a right case of ear worm from it, keep going round the house singing it.

Sorry about the extra 'not' that crept in there!

Barking, I never bothered to numb the area for my jabs and it really didn't bother me. It was sometimes a little tiny bit ouchy but not certainly not enough to make me be arsed to get ice out of the freezer! I also did lots of jabbing out and about, including: a charity quiz night, the local Chinese restaurant and, best of all, a close family member's wedding!

beaky and tiger stabbing is going ok ta. Going to be out of the house this evening though so got to take it all with me and not sure if I'll have access to ice.. I'm used to numbing the area first, it'll be like doing it for the first time again if I can't do that!!

I'm currently being security as DH is out taking the dog for a walk and we have no back door as he's half way through fitting the new one.... I decided as it was raining today it was silly to put up the new door before it had at least one coat of varnish as it came untreated. So I varnished it this morning. DH couldn't wait for it to dry so went ahead and chiselled out the space for the hinges and the sawdust just stuck all over the door. So it'll need sanding down and varnishing again. ^^

I'm supposed to be leaving in half an hour but I want a shower first. Not sure leaving the back door totally open is a great idea though...

Poor lady, that's awful. I was catching up on the thread holding my breath for you.

happy grr at your instadiffer colleague, by my calculation she tried all of 2 mths! Good lord, people just do not realise what it is like for us do they!!

I had a sex dream last night!! Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something!! I'm staying away from all of that until past test date, although our notes from the clinic say it's fine to. The nurse joked it was written by a man!!

rp that is good news about your DH's appointment. I bet he is just very nervous about it.

beaky I'm at the hairdressers now. Always get talked out of having as much cut off as planned before I get there! I have also been having crazy dreams - often seem to towards the end of the 2ww. Weirdly, two nights in a row I dreamed that the dog got hurt, then a day later she actually did. Coincidence or some kind of premonition?! I'm slightly freaked out by it.

gil I watched if too. It didn't make me cry as much as the some of the others but I do find them very emotional to watch. I'd like to adopt but not sure OH is fully on board with it.

Wow because! Very jealous! How will you spend your time?

barking it started as a beautiful morning here but it's tipping down now so I'd expect rain to be on the way! How's the stabbing going?

Bushy how are you getting on?
