SOH - So sorry to hear about your cat , i had a pet cat when i grew up for 11 years and she passed of renal problems. will be thinking of you.

With regards to husband being of im sure that hey would let him take 2 weeks holiday around that time at short notice - they would be quite mean not too!! saying that the company i work for didnt pay me when i was off sick with my m/c as i hadnt worked there 2 years!!!! couldnt belive it! Keep your chin up!! xxxx

Natty1806 · 15/10/2006 17:06

Sorry to hear about your cat SOH.

With regards to Paternity leave, i am sure if he has a word with his new boss they will let him have 2 weeks off as soon as you call him to say your in labour maybe he could take it as holiday.

SOH......sorry to hear about your cat.

I think most people (in the paternity situation) could wangle it as compassionate leave....everyone should be entitled to that even if they've only been there a short while??
He may find his new work are more sympathetic when he gets to know them.

Officially in my job you can only have time off to go to the funeral of your spouse, child or partner......so not your sibling!!!
My boss let me go to a good friends funeral tho...so these things aren't always set in stone.

Hope you are okay this afternoon.
(((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))

Thanks treaclebeetle (loving the name btw!).

I'm more worried about DH missing out. I know how rotten he'd feel if he wasn't there for the birth or if he didn't think he was supporting me. I'm planning a homebirth because I wanted to be with DH in familiar surroundings. I certainly don't want to feel like I have two outsiders in the house and no support from a familiar face.

treaclebeetle · 15/10/2006 12:59

Poor you. Definately go though, you may regret it otherwise.. have a real good cry and let it all out.

As for DH paternity leave: if it's your first it's probably best he continues to work as you may well be late. And at all cost make sure that he has time off (un-paid if necessary) for at least two weeks.

If it's any consolation - I'm the major earner and was inbetween jobs when I found out I was expecting. I've had to return to work and DD is only 12wks as I didn't qualify for maternity pay.
It's all turn out well in the end though - don't want to sound naff, but it is still the most exciting and happy time even with a few upsets. chin up wink

ShowOfBloodyAndSeveredHands · 15/10/2006 12:45

Oh I really need some cheering up. Just found out DH is not entitled to paternity leave as he will be changing jobs in January so I am petrified that I will have to give birth without him while he works.

Even worse our poor cat with renal failure has taken a turn a for the worse. She can't stand or swallow and I think we have to take her to the vets for the last time tomorrow. I can't even bear to go with DH to do it. I've been sobbing for the last hour since we made the decision. She's such a loving and gentle little thing and she's too poorly even to purr. It's breaking my heart. I know people will say she's only a cat but she's mine and DH's cat and she's been a great companion especially over the last year, during the mc etc.

So today.

pinkranger · 15/10/2006 12:09

Natty1806 · 13/10/2006 13:08

I must admit PCM that is not as user friendly as this site so i have never really looked on it much but thought it might help.

I am CD4 so nothing to report, second month of clomid.

hiya Natty, thanks for that hun. I was looking at it earlier actually. Tbh, i find the site a bit harder to navigate, probably because i am so used to mn. But there is still not much about the success of drilling. The more i read the more suprised i am that i was offered drilling first and not clomid. Im wondering why so many others have lots of drug treatments before any drilling. If i am not lucky before my next appt in April i might ask the gyny about it then.
I am cd18 today. But am obviously trying not to hope too much this month. After feeling better for most of week, some pain has returned today. Think i have been doing a bit much.....painted the little study room on weds, thought i felt ok. Now wishing i hadnt.
Although room is lovely now
when will i ever learn!
How are you today? what cd you on? is it your first clomid cyc this month?

Natty1806 · 13/10/2006 11:25

PCM - have you been onto the PCOS web site they have a chat room and experts on it maybe they could answer the question about ovarian drilling or maybe there is a success story on there.

Anway it is here if you want to have a look.

trace2 · 12/10/2006 13:37

Hayls yes i remember you, and come and join me on june antinatal thread, i also was reading your posts other day, and when you came clean who you was lol

Hayls · 12/10/2006 13:10

I just thought I'd pop back in as I still recognise a few names from when I was ttc in January this year. I've been lurking on and off since then but haven't posted as didn't have much to say! I did post about the fact that we had decided to wait until next year before really going for it but would you believe that yesterday I did a pg test and it was positive??!! Anyway we are both totally shocked and tbh a bit overwhelmed- dh has been dumbstruck for a day now! Seems that I am 6 weeks now so let the fun begin.

Best wishes and good luck to all of you xx

trace2 · 12/10/2006 12:19

woodlice and crumpet' NICE

coggy · 12/10/2006 12:16

Don't even get started on the blinkin' wood louse!!!

moldywarp is a new one to me but......

sourbugs.......my family call them (S. East)
chiggypigs......everyone down here in the S.West
twitchbells......my friend calls them (Up North!!)

Weird eh?

BTW it looks as if you Midlanders sit on your crumpets!!!
....but maybe that is really rather rude after reading your other posts about their meaning!!!!!

PCM.....depth is definitely needed in a crumpet...!!!!!

ShowOfBloodyAndSeveredHands · 12/10/2006 12:09

I was born in Derbyshire, as were my parents, though I grew up in Norfolk. Pikelet is a Midlands word for crumpet, but I grew up knowing no different. To me they will always be pikelets and crumpet always sounds so Carry On ie 'ooh matron, what a lovely bit of crumpet'. Anyway, pikelet or crumpet 'tis lovely with marmite. Yum!

I suppose you all call moldywarps woodlice as well? Weird bunch of people that you are.

PCM all the info on ovarian drilling success rates is either sketchy or incredibly medicalised. Will keep looking for you though (inbetween working laboriously obviously).

coggs, im with you, crumpets have a definate depth about them, they are about an inch thick yeah? soh is obviously eating local food for local people

"In the UK, "crumpet" has been used since 1936 as a slang term for a woman (or, more recently, a man) regarded as an object of sexual desire. This slang usage also has vulgar applications, as it is sometimes used to describe female genitalia. Historically "Crumpet" has also been used as a non-sexual term of endearment "
