The Rules of Bumsnet

You can shag, you can syringe, you can temp, you can OPK; as long as your aim is a BFP!

We're cliquey so fuck off. LPB will be annihilated.

Hello all

Hope you are all well!

I will have a proper catch up with you all later on tonight :-)

loopylou1984 · 28/04/2015 18:25

Chops - You're totally right, its a wonder the human race has survived!

Purdie - I'm glad you've spoken to your boss, she sounds lovely :)

Heir - Wow, good thing you got pg before you got that result or you would have been panicking! That's good news for those of us with dhs with low morph scores though :)
Seriously though, try not to worry, so many things can affect the score...maybe these sperms were ones produced when he was ill or spending lots of time in a sauna. As Chops said, any duff sperm would not have fertilized your egg, so don't worry about that.

Nomio - I'd def get a 2nd opinion. Can you call 111? They will most likely get you seen tonight. if you cry they'll give you a 2 hour time slot instead of 4

cremedecacao · 28/04/2015 18:18

Nomio- I am reading this in bed! And I did cry a little bit!

You sound really poorly, hope you get the treatment you need soon.

Nomio230 · 28/04/2015 18:15

Dizzy, I am pretty sure you have ovulated with all those signs. Have a night off!

Nomio230 · 28/04/2015 18:14

Creme, you have every right to feel sorry for yourself with that list of problems. I would be in bed crying!

The Dr I saw yesterday thought it must be an infection, so I had blood & urine tests for that. I have an apt for Thursday to get the results that is with a different Dr, so will speak to them.

I don't have the energy to go to the walk in centre & sit there for hours, so will just keep dosing myself up for now.

Woolly84 · 28/04/2015 18:01

dizzynorthern maybe your body just likes the shagfest Grin also, is it possible the copious cm may actually be the err "remains of the deed" spaff?
I reckon there's plenty of spermies up there now, so don't worry about missing tonight! Good work on the shagathon!

Thanks for the thermometer tip, I wouldn't be surprised if I broke it though I'm a bit clumsy Confused

DizzyNorthernBird · 28/04/2015 17:53

Hiya everyone!

nomio what Explanation did gp give for your symptoms? Something ain't right there.

woolly, hi! Just make sure you don't knock or drop the thermometer or they're useless. I'm trying to persevere with mine whilst impatiently waiting for my new yet old fashioned Mercury one to arrive.

Well, after feeling pretty smug last night after dtd on day two of positive opk (four days shagging out of five! It's a bloody miracle! DP's nob might fall off now!!) and after a bucket load of wet slippery cm, I wake up today to..........no temp rise fucking thermometer! , a very soft cervix and yet more wet cm!!
So now I have no idea whether I've actually ovulated yet and there's absolutely no way DP will be up for it again tonight and I cannot be arsed either. I would just like to dtd on the actual day of ovulation, just once! Is it too much to ask?! I feel like my body is moving the goalposts every time I get close!! Angry

Woolly84 · 28/04/2015 17:40

Oh nomio oh nomio, wherefore art thy health Sad I think get a second opinion, and yes, your DH has to accept AI tonight!

creme there is still time! You will get there I know it Flowers

cremedecacao · 28/04/2015 17:27

Flowers for Boris and Nomio.

I'm feeling rubbish too Sad BFN and due tomorrow. I always think about my mc at this stage of the month. Eurgh, must not be so self pitying! Lost my voice and have ibs cramps too, so feeling extra miserable!!

Keep at it Nomio!

purdiepie · 28/04/2015 17:19

Ugh. Nomio, I'd get a second opinion. I want you to get your babba.

Sorry for everyone with cornflakes for eyelids.

Nomio230 · 28/04/2015 15:50

Night, I often have sex dreams around OV time, but not about exes. Mine tend to be either famous people or –disappointingly—DH!

Juney, have you managed to actually speak to Ms Sexy yet? Any meet up plans?

Boris, sorry to hear you are still not feeling great. Maybe a month away from TTC will actually do you good. Flowers

Pug, I hope you are feeling ok today.

Don’t give up hope yet, Rainy. You might have good news for us soon!

Purdie, I am pleased that you have spoken to your boss, and are feeling a bit brighter. Sometimes we get so bogged down in what we don’t know & haven’t done that it is easy to forget our accomplishments. You have achieved a lot in the last few years, and it is good that you are focusing on that now. I still think writing would be perfect for you.

Good luck for tomorrow, Yokyil!

Heir, I don’t really know anything about good/bad sperm, but what Chops said sounded pretty good!

I am still not feeling 100%. I am convinced despite what the Dr said that I am suffering with OHSS. The stomach pains and bloating have gone a bit, but sex last night was really painful & ever since my ovaries feel like they are on fire & super swollen. I have been taking painkillers since then. Sad

Just got my positive OPK, so we will be AI tonight whether DH wants to or not, as there is no way I can handle actual sex right now!

Yokyil · 28/04/2015 15:36

chops feel like a right tit, sorry about the eczema - on your eyelids must be so painful. Not nice at all Sad
rainy gonna POAS tomorrow, tired of waiting about. Feel like I'm doing nowt. AF could be due anything from Sunday past to this Friday...god knows!! Confused

DizzyMerry · 28/04/2015 15:28

Eczema is an awful condition to have chops. I know a few people who have it. Pure misery when it flares up.

spinningirl10 · 28/04/2015 15:13

Heir, lovely to see you here. How are you? Goodness it's good to hear some positive news from 0% morphology! Makes me quite excited, as we say, it only takes oneGrin I agree with chops and wouldn't worry. Looks like one little super sperm got throughSmile

Will catch up properly later, in school playground now.

Hairstylisttoboris · 28/04/2015 15:03

woolly mine is yet to perform miracles for me, then again it is still in the packet....

Woolly84 · 28/04/2015 14:58

My bbt thermometer has arrived yay! This thing's gonna get me knocked up right? Hmm

Rainy34 · 28/04/2015 14:22

Yokyil I am due tomorrow!!, it is horrible when you are late and never know when you are due, I am using a clear blue ovulation monitor so i can pin point roughly when ovulation is and can work out when i a due even if it changes each month or id be climbing the wall

Thanks Sparkly, I try to keep a bit of a sensible head in the tww but this month that has gone out the window, I am trying not to get my hopes up but i can't help it!!

Purdie life would be dull without nice tits so thats a bonus!! glad you are feeling brighter today!!

chopsface · 28/04/2015 14:20

Oh and by the way I have eczema, solely confined to my eyelids, its bloody awful and I've not been able to wear make up since about October, including to Xmas parties....

chopsface · 28/04/2015 14:18

Oh my goodness heir 0% morphology?! Its amazing you are preg at all! There must have been a rougue good one there somewhere though. To reassure you I doubt a faulty sperm would even be able to penetrate the egg. The morphology looks at the heads and tails. If the tail was bad it wouldn't get to the egg, if the head was bad it wouldn't penetrate. Did your dh have just one sample? It might have been a bad batch after an illness or booze binge 3 months prior?

MelonMelon · 28/04/2015 13:58

Bonjour sunny and boris you are forgiven for forgetting me I like to think of the 3 of us like Destiny's Child all shiny thighs and stuff

CD13 here and have been doing all we can! I'm also with you on the CM, sorry for TMI but there was so much today I've had to wear a pad, not ewcm stuff though I did have a wee bit last night, just watery and lots of it!

I was thinking the same about cats the other day, I have a boy and girl and was thinking about how you can't even let them out of the house until they've been snipped. Lucky sods!

Yokyil · 28/04/2015 13:41

Helps to get it said and all out in the open with them and it sounds like you were doing well purdie Smile but you need to do what's good for you, Dh and baba. Eczema on his eyelids Confused you're a witty witty woman! Agony aunt next career move?? Hmm

purdiepie · 28/04/2015 13:40

Blimey!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 28/04/2015 13:35

Hello everyone, I wanted to pop my head in and firstly see how you were all getting on. Cake and Flowers for everyone having a hard time, whether it's with AF or jobs or anything else (Purdie I hope it improves for you). Pug I have been thinking of you especially, I am glad that at least things went smoothly and you are at home and recovering.

I also have a sperm-related query which I hope someone will have some wisdom on... So pre-BFP we had started having a couple of tests, including DH giving a semen sample. Then we found out I was pregnant so assumed things were fine. DH finally got the letter through last week (thanks rubbish GP!) and it turns out he has 35% motility and 0% normal morphology. Which to me seems like a not good thing! Whilst one or two good ones are obviously getting through, does this mean we'd have problems TTC again if we wanted to? DH has also confessed that he is worried that his 'crap sperm' will mean there is something wrong with the baby (no scan still for 2 more weeks). Logically I think he is wrong but I'm now scared of this too. Does anyone have any words of spermy wisdom? All the doctor has said is to go back for another test in a couple of months...

purdiepie · 28/04/2015 13:28

Pa ha! woolly I'm jealous of your exotic gorgeousness!

Woolly84 · 28/04/2015 13:26

Also jealous of your tits
