Mid 30's TTC - you're my BESH mate you are..... <hic hic>

Cossy - Clive from Neighbours!! Blimey I'd completely forgotten about him! Awww, he was lovely....

Sounds like you went through a lot in your appt, but it does sound like you have a v helpful doc & that there's progress so fingers crossed. Technical qs - what's prolactin and how does your thyroid affect conception?

I had a huge crush on Dr Clive Gibbons! Sigh!

you and scorp have been emailing each other and not including us? sob!

BTW, defo not a hippy - at heart maybe but not in dress. Am actually a bit horrified at the idea - it reminds me of a colleague who was a complete hippy and used to take her shoes (flip flops) off at meetings and sit cross legged at the table. I wanted to strangle her - or at least hit her on the head with her skanky flip flop and tell her to act like a professional. (Hmmm... AIBU?!)

Oh bugger, I've missed the group therapy session

I agree with all the others about facefuck, it's all about showing off. Appart from the legendary "onion" pics of course people only put up pics of them / statuses they want to use to make people think they are super cool and ultra gorgeous.

But anyway, it doesn't matter as we palace dwellers know we are super cool and ultra gorgeous so we don't need the vilification of others.

I had my follow up appointment today, and once again the doc was lovely. She doesn't think I have been ovulating, but is also hopeful that as last cycle was only 31 days, perhaps I may be improving, and it does not look like I have PCOS which is something they had thought I may do. Am having day 21 bloodtests next week to see if I have ov'd this month, and also to check my prolactin levels (as have history of raised prolactin). Also she thinks my thyroid does not look normal so is sending me to get that ultrasounded, and then after that I will get referred on to the assisted conception unit.

TGO was a bit shocked, I think he was expecting me to be told that I was totally functioning normally and I was worrying about nothing. Have prepared him for jizz-in-pot scenario to come for him. He doesn't think he will be capable of performing in hospital, so we will also have to do wank-dash.

Lookeelikee, I'm afraid to say, when I met him, TGO looked like Dr Clive Gibbons from Neighbours. Oh lord

wee I just noticed that - the woman is fecking barking - Scorpette and I have assassinated her character by email and have deduced she's suffering from "second wife syndrome" + "Precious first born" - a heady mix I'm sure you'll agree! Also, she's an expat - and I'm sure you've run in to one or two who are just absolutely psychotic - I remember one who drove herself to the point of breakdown because her "foreign floors were too slippy". Btw - I just can't see you in leather - I have you down as this lovely hippy girly type with flowers & plaits - not bike grease across your for'ead and a Harley between your thighs.

I am currently not smoking - the longer I remain un-pregnant the more likely I will be reduced to a rage and find myself in a newsagent demanding menthols with menace. HA! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget BODY!

FYI - I've just had an email from iggy - she thinks she's going a bit mental - but tbh she doesn't sound any different to any of you lot.

(Psst, ski - have a look at our loony mate in the croissants discussion over on chat...

n.b., when I say "my male friends have announced the birth of their second child" - naturally I didn't mean they'd got each other pregnant - but quite frankly, it wouldn't fucking surprise me - everyone I know is fertile as fuck.

laurielou your tale of woe ending in your slamming your fingers in the door has cheered me up no end!

Apparently my grammar has fucked off for the day, along with my ability to concentrate and my desire to do any work.

I enjoy it when someone else is kicking things for me.

laurie fucktitsandbuggery. First blood is the deepest.

In my darkest hour, I turn to watching old episodes of Buffy. Would that help? I enjoy someone else is kicking things for me.

vag Can't they get the train? And hire a car in Cornwall?

Oh vag good luck to TSF for his wank-dash.

vag I applaud you.

My boyf looks like the lovely Wentworth Miller aka Micheal Schofield from Prison Break. Mmmmmmm

My mum says he reminds her of Will Smith. (The boyf is white)

WTF?

laurie sucks to be you, matey. Hope you are having lots of chocolate biscuits with the tea - they're medicinal.

TSF has the wank-in-pot gubbins to look forward to. Being a shy type the thought is hideous to him. Esp the "special room" so he will def be doing the dash-to-deposit. I reckon we live about 45 mins from hospital and no car = reliance on public transport. It really will be a comedy day. But I must not laugh/make light. He was quite drunk when I came home with the news about the pot so he took it v well. And he knows it is only a small bit of embarrassment compared to what I'll go through for this TCC lark.

Oh god it's all gone quiet - are you judging me? [needy emoticon]

Hi all, to continue the misery train RTOD arrived today. For those of a delicate nature language wise, please look away now.......

FUCK ARSE CUNT BOLLOCKS SHIT WANK and FUCK AGAIN.

I was almost relived for a nano-second this morning, but I'm now sitting at my key board in tears (on the plus side at least I have a few days off & I'm alone in my house & not at my desk).

This is bad, ladies, I don't even want a gin. I'm nursing a big mug of tea.

The boyf has booked in for his wank-in-a-jar appointment & has booked a room to do the deed instead of racing across the Welsh capital with a jar of spunk in the passenger seat. He's booked the whole day off work & is quite looking forward to "having the go-ahead to read porn & crack one off in the city hospital".

We wondered if its part of the nurses' job description to buy new porn material on the way into work. And how often do they replace it? How many other sweaty, grubby mits have been turning the pages of "Chunky Asses" before you? Do they laminate the porn for that wipe clean ease? Do they have music? The boyf has just informed me he couldn't possibly perform in silence? I've told him he'll have to sing to himself.

Then a few weeks later I have the joy of an appintment myself, & possibly the delights of dildocam.

Thank fuck we're off on a fab holiday in Oct.

If you're still with me, thanks for listening. You're all beautiful.

TSF looks a bit like Frodo Baggins. Without the giant hairy feet. And of course sexier....

In defence of FB: I have just managed to give my (arsehole of a) BIL grief for making my heavily pregnant sister with severe pelvic pain drive for 5.5hrs to Cornwall because "he doesn't like driving". But I think I have been subtle and persuasive.

Clearly this public attack will either (a) be too subtle and have no impact except to make me look interfere-y, or (b) make him have a maassive melt-down at my sister. I am just so angry - and I think the Pixie was bored of the POAS chanting. Argh. Maybe I shouldn't have. But oh my god I am angry with that man. (There's a whole build up to this too btw - if he'd been nice apart from this I wouldn't have minded/reacted).

My Dad once said I looked like Neil from the Young Ones. And he meant it nicely. A proud day.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And breathe.

This lookalikey bizniz reminds me of a website I saw once where you upload your photo and it tells you which famous people you look like. I just looked this up and found this

Which told me I look like:

1. Gillian Chung
2. Jason Alexander (Richard Gere's sleazy lawyer in Pretty woman
3. Jericho Rosales
4. Jang Dong-gun
5. OK I don't wanna know any more......

Boo - 'tis not a bank holiday weekend here. However, I am going here
