The Angry Pubes of Bumsnet

Yay for temping Pixa

Babs, congratulations on the new house. Hope you're settling in. Do you have any work to do?

Sammy, welcome back, pleased you had a lovely time.

Oyster, hope you enjoyed your run. My cousins Dh is doing the Brighton Marathon today. Well he's prob finished now and sat in a bar with a beer

Victoria, hope you got to the garden centre. No af yet! Ooh I have everything crossed for you. Pedicure would be lovely now that the weathers improving. I love the shellac varnish, it lasts for ages and no chipping!

Oh Night, I hope af stays away for you!

Heir, 9 weeks! That's gone fast, how exciting. Have you got your scan date?

Melon, yay for the run, well done

Ibeka, have fun with your friend. It's a lovely day here as well but the winds cold!

Mummy, snow!!!!

Alpha, hope you enjoyed your run. Wow everyone here is doing well on the exercise front

Ahh Sparkly, I can understand this. How are you feeling today? Are you still spotting? Will you get an early scan? Ooh sorry for all the questions

Glittery, have you decided where to go yet?

That's a shame Vic :( I am feeling much better thanks. Have been resting all day so that I am up to going out for dinner later. Will be sticking to bland foods which is a shame as we are going to an amazing Indian :(

Marys it's definitely for the best! I can't do that with DS's but luckily I got 2 of my own!

Are you joining the thread queasy? We need your vital statistics if you are

No no one is free night they are working. Well my mate with kids doesn't work but she has to home school middle child and prob has plenty of school and nursery runs for the other two! Not that I've asked her if she can fit me in for a liquid lunch, in case I was getting dildo cam! You feeling any better now?

You what wood? I recognise pomegranate seeds but the others don't even sound like food!

There is an obvious reason for no AF Vic... Really hope you find something lovely to do on your birthday! Are any of your friends free on the day?

Trust me Sammy it feels like you are doing something when you're having tests, becoming closer to an answer and the solution. (its me Vic by the way, I'm in disguise)

night I was thinking more of a pedicure or facial down me local salon, but thanks anyway! I won't have access to a car as dh will have it as he's working.

Still no af..... On and off cramps.... Pretty sure it will be tomorrow morning though. Darn it. Always seems to be a Monday and I miss yoga because my cramps are too bad :-( must go to yoga this week though as he's changed payment to blocks rather than drop in and I've already paid! Don't really understand why if I had my pos opk would I still have no af on cd28?

Ha! night, you never know!! How are your local stocks of pomegranate seeds, spirulina and xylitol....?! xx

So not stuff I could pick up in Aldi Wood

It must be difficult to start the process of tests Sammy, as you say you didn't start off thinking you would need them. I have faith that they will bring you your much wanted BFP though :)

pixa I've been to the Northumberland coast- not very exotic but the sun came out for us and its a beautiful place.

Inspired by all you fitness/healthy eating comments i have just been to the gym and now gonna snack on some hummous and carrotsticks (it will be a miracle if this healthy lifestyle lasts to this evening but I need to feel I'm doing something productive to get bfp other than just dtd! )

Hi everyone - loving this thread. I'm 5 DPO (if that) and already convincing myself I feel a bit dizzy and nauseous. I hate how quickly I get obsessed with TTC!!!

night, I think lots are.... Definitely not stuff we have lurking in the cupboards!

Thanks Night, it is exciting, but also kind of scary as was hoping not to need the appointments really. Xx

Thanks wood :) is it all quite exotic expensive ingredients?

sparkly no he's old and probably nearing retirement so couldn't care less! I was happy when he made the referral but now the appointment has come through I'm feeling more anxious, like it's more real (I'll probably keep pushing it back until I feel ready).

spinning sorry about AF, although it's sometimes expected it still hurts like hell when it arrives

CD 5 twiddles thumbs

Who's next to POAS?

I don't think its massively manageable... The recipes/advice look really good, but some look quite expensive to actually cook!

If you want any pics from the pages, just let me know xx

I think it's the fertility and conception one wood. How manageable is the eating advice? I always worry that it won't be very practical for everyday planning of meals.

night which book have you ordered?

I'm currently reading ZW's 'Eat Yourself Pregnant'.... Quite interesting! xx

Yes marys and mummy more than happy to join in a chocolate fest!! DH and I shamelessly bought some Easter eggs on sale a couple of days back

Just realised that I have no practical advice to offer to anyone due to lack of knowledge, all I can offer are platitudes :( Must try to learn more! I have reserved a Zita West book at library :)

Ooh Sammy that is exciting! So close to moving forward now :)

Yes sparkly, US is on Wednesday and appointment at the end of the month! X

You live over the bridge from me right? Can do some spa hunting on t'internet if you like?

Is there nowhere that will do a spa deal at short notice Vic? I can't imagine they will be overbooked on a Tuesday?! Maybe AF won't arrive tomorrow!

chops makes mine 12/13 LP glad about that...was dreading an under 10 lp and something else to worry about sounds positive for you and you too night fx for your both!!! Chops when are you due to test?

Holding on here too. Looks like I have a 15 day LP. At least if AF comes tomorrow I can do something nice on my birthday instead of having dildocam! Any ideas? Bearing in mind its too late to have a beauty treatment and I'm off work alone!

Sorry AF arrived spinning :-(
