Bumsnetters with Angry Pubes

Dizzy... Usually my ov day is always 18, but I got my peak fertility smiley on cd 16 this month? xx

woodpigeon your chart doesn't look right to me... I would have said ov on cd18?

purdie that's fantastic news! Good ol' mum and dad to the rescue eh! And how lovely would it be if you could get the same donor too...perfect! Really pleased for you!

Ha ha ibeka

Wow purdie! What utterly incredible news!

Pug.... Yes, temp daily, and do ov sticks, reflexology, vits.... The works!

Here's my current chart:

Ps love the planning bit too purds!

Yayyy purdie!! fab news! Xx

Good Lordy but you lot natter! I'll just get straight to the last page and say whoohoo to a holiday baby trip for purds! Excellent news! Love the idea of a genetic sib for Nancy!
nomio I'll have to check but I think my prescription was for 20 a day! Big difference to 200! I haven't filled it yet as I'm not near ov yet and will only take it after but seems a huge difference no?

Impeccable logic there Purdie I hope (and pray) that you will get your babby/ies as planned in September!

Aww, thanks, everyone It's lovely that you are so excited for me. Night, there is method in my madness: knowing I am predestined to PND in the early weeks of post-partum motherhood, I would feel much better if the weather was not horrific when I am at my worst; When winter descends proper, the tot would be 4-6 months old, which is the easy-peasy age of babyhood (the Gina Ford routine is well established) and I won't mind the miserable nights so much; When baby is at the difficult teething stage (post-nine months in Nancy's case) and when they are learning so much their brains go bananas and your tot loses all semblance of routine, it will be summer time and the water in the canal won't be too cold when I throw myself in as a suicide bid.

Purdey it would be great if you can get the same donor but either way - it's amazing news. I am very happy for you and your DH

Oh Purdie, that's amazing! Go daddy Purds!!! Xx

Wow purdie this is all so exciting! Love that you can pick when you would like the baby to be born

Oh my goodness Purdie what a turn up! Maybe it's karma for all this voluntary work you're doing to help the poor IT deficient people of Chorley And on that note, will you now stick with the placement and try to get a few months of paid work in before going off to get t'babby so you have some spare cash?

Yay Purdie! Hoorah for generous dads Nancy is gonna have a sibling! How exciting

Great news Purdie how exciting

No, Night. You don't book flights until the last minute, unfortunately, as egg collection all depends on the donor and how stimulation has gone. I have, however, already emailed the co-ordinator we dealt with last time at Reprogenesis in Brno to ask if our last donor would be wiling and able to give us her eggs again; it would be nice for Nancy to have a full genetic sibling, although it's not imperative. If the donor says no - or she has already donated too many times since Nancy - then we will go to the famous Gennet in Prague. Whoooooo!!

I fancy cycling in December with a view to a September birth

Oh Purdie your dad is the best, so excited for you!! go and get bubba number two!! xx

Purdey ARRGGGHHH!!!! So pleased for you!!!

Yay! purdey! Fab news hun!

Sorry for not catching up too much with everyone else, dh glaring at me in the hotel lobby as only place can get WiFi. He wants to go to the bar....

How wonderful Purdie! Flights booked yet?

underline fail

Oh! I take that back, purdie

dizzy I've heard of itchy feet being a symptom of athelete's foot.

nomio it's just so annoying they're making you go through this wait again! Such a waste of time and money on all sides.

purdie it really is very bad manners to come and announce that then piss off again.... details please!!!

Definitely distinct pain on my left side, but I'm a bit confused as OPK only turned positive last night...

Th'Eskimo, pa ha! You could say that

Me [all nonchalant]: 'Dad, guess what mum said yesterday? She said she wished she could afford to send us to Prague for a sibling for Nancy.'
Dad: WHAT??! The turncoat! She said it were a reet bad idea 'cos of 'er 'ealth and you two on benefits and Michael's sciatica and you letting t'babby eat soil.'
Me [faux resigned; doleful]: 'Yeah well...doesn't matter, does it, cos she hasn't got the cash.'
Dad: 'Tell you what...do you want me to loan you the money?'
Me [faux indignant]: NO WAY! I'd rather be beholden to a bank than to y....'
Dad: 'Tell you what..'ow much is it these days? Still six grand?'
Me: [faux ambivalent]: 'Oh, I've no idea, Dad, I think so.'
Dad: 'Tell you what..'ow about I give you the money.'
Me: [faux outraged]: 'NO WAY! Not again..not a chance...you've already done enough financing our Nancy. We'll wait to see if we get pregnant naturally.'
Dad: 'You'll never get pregnant wi' them syringes! I've never 'eard owt like it! [sheepish] yer mum told me you were 'avin' problems in the bedroom department.'
Me [actually outraged but hiding it behind utter bastard joy]: 'Oh. Right. Well..it has been a worry, Dad, and I'm not getting any younger.'
Dad: 'Tell you what darlin'....book yer flights tomorra. Let's get t'ball rollin, sweet'art.'
