The Angry Pubes of Bumsnet

sammy can you get your DH some wet wipes or something? Make sure he doesn't breed bacteria? X

mummu sweets spinning anyone else I might have missed am so sorry I didn't reply to your pineapple tidbits no that does not sound rude but thank tou much! I got so caught up in the trunchbull drama that it just slipped my mind completely! Yes Mr Google tells me about the selenium, but I figure why go to all the trouble of chopping up a pineapple core every morning or spending all my money on chocolate covered Brazil nuts if I can just swig a tablet? I'm a bit post-modern that way.
But if there is a good reason uhm like the synthesiEd selenium gets absorbed by the uhm uhm gallbladder or pancreas or nail on my little finger because the molecules are too big to get into the bloodstream and therefore cannot possibly help with securing they uterus lining for implantation, whereas Brazil nuts natural selenium molecules are so teeny tiny they just dissolve into your tongue and head straight for womb-town from there, then maybe if go for the nuts instead. iyswim.

Chops - I really hope this is it for you!! Will be checking the thread all morning for your update!
However if it is not the news you were hoping for then at least you can have some birthday drinks to celebrate being able to get on with the iui! Xx

You lot were a chatty bunch last night! Will have a catch up this evening.

Fingers crossed for you Choppywop & Merry Birthday!

Happy birthday chops hope you have a wonderful day and good luck testing! X

Happy birthday chops! Let's hope it's a birthday bfp for you too! Keeping everything crossed for you!! Xx

Thanks Aux, glad to hear it's probably not me!
Will try to dtd again tonight, but we've been far more relaxed this cycle so far as sex has been awesome since dh knew I just wanted it, not because it was the right time. I haven't temped or used opks until yesterday, so if he's not in the mood I won't push it. I don't want our whole life to revolve around ttc! Xx

Agree with aux about drying goo irritating his skin. Ewww. And you won't always catch someone's cold, you're probably just currently healthy :-) Chin up Sammy it'll happen. Good luck with the scan coming up x

glittery? You were having scan too this week? Good luck! mine was on a Sunday just for the record, had to call and confirm they'd written the right date! At least hospital car park was empty as weekend

Good luck with job interview purdey, when is it?

pixa woot woo for the sexy outfit!

Me? I'm lying in bed feeling nauseous. Hubby has brought me birthday breakfast. Told him we need to go out and buy 'something'. Officially late now at 16/17dpo. Stashed a cup of very orange dehydrated fmu in the cupboard...

You guys were going a mile a minute last night weren't you! I'm breathless just from skimming over the content!
purds I laid of bf during my period to give my hormones a chance to push oestrogen and will lay off it again after ovulation for about five or six days if I can to push progesterone. I'm back on the boob now but only morning feeds. I figure if I confuse my body enough it'll revolt and release a ton of eggs and one will hit the mark. also I took soy but sshhh

+Sammy* I get two days or two tests of positives usually (I test twice a day). One is the same strength and one is loads darker. The surge builds to a peak and then wanes so you likely caught a positive near-peak and then an actual peak. I'd DTD tonight again (or this morning still and tonight if you have stamina) and then, because you could hypothetically ovulate anytime between 12 and 48 hours after the surge (mostly between 18-36 hours) I'd do it again tomorrow to cover bases.
And no that just his spunk gunk cluttering up his skin and irritating himself as it dries. Seriously you have nothing at all to do with it.

Hi ladies, hope everyone's ok? Some of you were up late last night!

I have a few questions, and you're probably all going to think I'm insane by the end of this, but here it goes:

1. I got a positive opk yesterday at 5pm, dtd last night and have now done another opk this morning (I know it's before 8am) which is even darker, I mean the test line is WAY darker than the control, not just the same. Do we have to dtd tonight or will leaving it till tomorrow be ok? I have dildocam in the morning and really don't want leftover sperms in there for it!

2. this is kind of embarrassing... Dh told me last night that if he falls asleep straight after dtd and doesn't come to the bathroom to wash then he gets quite sore the next day.... Am I too acidic or something? I have no discomfort.

3. I'm worried my immune system works too well and is killing off embies. Dh had a cold and I travelled in a car with him for 12 hours, dtd and slept in the same bed and never caught it. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Am I mental? X

I should be asleep but unfortunately I'm a night owl and this hasn't changed even with DD coming alone!

Thanks sparkly knew I could rely on you. I hope you are able to get some rest and sleep tonight.

Yes Dizzy I support this! Get the clomid and get your baba!!!

Right I have made a decision and if I start dithering please knock some sense into me. We will go through the NHS and hopefully they will prescribe me with clomid and we will still continue to ttc obviously. If the clomid doesn't work then we will have to go private so think it's better to save the funds for then as otherwise we will struggle.

Totally didn't think that was a Scottish thing!

Special Brew. Alkie liquor.

I need to sleep. Can't put phone down and be in silence with my stupid thoughts!

What do you even mean by special brew? Like IRN BRU?! Haggis gives me the (that's a sicky face not envy as MN refers to it) veggie haggis is almost worse.

Dizzy shaking my head comical is right!!!

I've never orgasmed once when insem Purds . just saying

Juney fresh is a winner it's where it's at! Leave the frozen in the past!

My consultants sec rang me to say they'd already referred me for IVF so asked me to come in and hand the clomid back! When I went in I was whisked off for bloods and told I had ovulated so the clomid had worked!!! It was all a bit comical really

(I'm in the lime green boob tube rolled down to me 'ips).
