30s TTC: Summertime, and the diffin's easy. White goods are jumping and the WOOFLing is high. MSDP in full swing.

[MountTheFairy]

The one before the BESHory Towers. Easy one for summer: I have dug up a fishing pond in the middle of the Palace, put a roof light over it, got some fishin' sticks and put some Gershwin on. Salad's providing Elderflower Fizz, served by newbs in topless bikinis. Could life be better?

ello am here, trying to keep up with fred but not managing to post much. work n all, n sooooooooooo tired am barely functional.

Smooches and headbutts all round, espesh to salt and head. And a massive WHOOOOP for our scorps....fantastic start on the Masterplan my lovely.

Aww ginDiffed nice to see you. Have you had scan yet? Or are you still menkuling?

Cass me love, I think we all have our beady eyes on you.

SoonToBeReallySalty I think you may find "bok" of more use in Croatia. Plus it souns like boc, so if you keep on repeating it to people maybe you will get given one .

souns sounds

Hollyjolly is not for 10 days. Have plenty of time to learn useful and elegant phrases. of course, I bought a book about 6 months ago with the intention of being fluent by the time I went.

Right, Bok. What does that mean?

bok is 'hi'. How elegant do you want to be? I don't really know dubrovnik but I would suggest that too much elegance may be out of place in Croatia...

Is it too early to start shouting "POAS! POAS! POAS!" yet along with the impending kidney-punching?

And surely the most important phrase in any language is "beer, please". Although I like the idea of telling random Croats that they have ugly shoes.

salt fanks. have a scan a week today. am still shitting myself.

(though not literally, am in the office so that would cause some consternation.)

red wine is crno vino, beer is pivo and please is molim

My goodness, have you seen these threads? I was being nosy and now just feel freaked out

freaks

Scan will be all good Ginster, I can feel it in my water.

Crno Vino molim.

Haha...BessyBoop are they, like, real people on those uvver freds?

Bloody hell, I can't even be arsed to do any ironing and there are cat biscuits all over the kitchen floor.

Am off to the west country (The Motherland) tomorrow. Where cider is 'zoider', beer is 'arf a point' and wine is unheard of due to being 'furrin fancy stuff'. I will bring you all back some cream teas and clotted cream ice cream

Random language fact: Cheese is pronounced 'shite' in Hungarian. So a McDonald's over there is a Shiteburger.

Ironing? Pliz to explain what it is?

Is bladdy dangerous I think and therefore best avoided at all costs.

I can save your knuckles some time, laydeez, I am well sure I iz not diffulared. That just isn't going to happen to me again, and I don't even mean that in a sympathy-needing way. Just feel like it's an impossibility tbh.

I did however fall asleep for half an hour while smallstewpot was asleep, and now feel much brighter.

Can I punch you anyway Cassowary? Impossible? Porquoi?

Busy busy busy but keepng an eye on all of you.

There are people who post that they have put the bin out? What will they have on their gravestone, "she was tidy"????

Haz booked hollibobs - week after next, two whole weeks on teeny weeny Greek island. So chuffed

BessieIsAnExpertOnCroatia WTF? I do not even get the point of that fred!? And it makes me a little bit sad.

Saffrolina, I guess the Hungarians tell it like it is .

GinDiffer aren't you meant to be constipated ? Well, I'll remember your scan date, day after my HSG. At least you won't be spreading your legs or snogging any matrons. (Or is that what happens at those things? Repeat the emoticon from above.)

Doesn't matter one jot how much I try not to menkul, I still do.

I'm hot. So I took my temperature. And it's shot up. I'm normally about 36.5 (chilly mortal of positively bovine calm etc.), was 36.7 round ovulation, and now 10/11DPO (not sure) it's 37.0, which is triphasic no?

Case for the prosecution: Oh yeah HB plainly diffed

Case for the defence:

1. You've never actually temped before; this quite possibly happens every. Single. Month.
2. It's not even a fucking BBT thermometer, just a normal digital one from Boots, £4.99 a pop. Hardly reliable. Not designed for MENTAL PEOPLE like you.
3. You have like, literally every PMT symptom you've ever had.
4. Your period has started you twat!

Pliz to ignore. I don't want to visit the menkul on the OM so thought best to do it here instead.

Oh Cass. Come here for a cuddle. Then we can slide into the pit together and toast marshmallows over a BESHcandle.

FUCK ME, those loons are using STERIDENT to clean their toilets? I felt like I deserved a Good Housekeeping Award yesterday 'cos I finally put last weekend's papers in the paper recycling bags.

And, erm, the weekend before that's

Weeeeeell, I had an interesting session with Needles Lady (and I don't mean how her hunky 19-yr old son walked past the treatment room window as I was removing my leggings Poor boy is scarred for life!). T'other week I gave her all my test results I got my Doc to send me. She didn't tell me at the time but was a bit perturbed by the oestradiol levels so she rang her pal Zita West, hallowed be her name, to ask her to get her Docs to check it out. ZOMG, free ZW analysis? Is better than a hickey from Kenickie! Aaaaanyhoo, Zita West, praise be unto her, rang her back and their chat went a bit like this:

Firstly, ZW, blessings be upon her, asked if I was a) v young-looking, b) slightly overweight, c) had good skin, hair and nails, d) OVed normally and in fact felt very excitable when I was doing, e) started spotting around DPO 9-11 and started droid CD24-27 and f) had very short droid, not very heavy but v painful. Er, yes x 6!

Apparently - and this is summat me and Needles have wondered about before - my Oestrogen is too high. Is why questions a-d were so spot-on; perfect symptoms of high Oestrogen. The problem is that if the Oestrogen is too high, then no matter how high your Progesterone is after OV, it can't get high enough above the Oestrogen level in the luteal phase to let it be normal (ie the gap between the 2 hormones isn't big enough). Hence questions e & f. It basically means that the endometrium can't build up enough for to velcro the BOC securely.

If this is my prob, it's a tricky one - you can't take owt to reduce your Oestrogen and taking more Progesterone doesn't help (mine's virtually at the highest level possible already). The only thing that can be done is to really improve my general health radically, as adrenal probs, like mine, can make the body overcompensate with other healthy hormones... like oestrogen.

I think that's right. Is fucking annoying - I knew I'd have something wiggy wrong with me (sorry, wiggy is colloquial term for 'freaky').

I find it hilarious that at an age where perimenopause (low Oestrogen) would be most women's fertility fear/prob/ishoo, mine is having too much Oestrogen! And by hilarious, I mean 'AAAAARRRGHGHGHGH'.

Sorry for a huge MEMEME. Is just so fucking annoying and exasperating. And I have to go to stay with ILs for the whole of next week. Only Norwegian Deth Metal at eardrum-splitting volume could fully express my feelings on that subject.

HB, If your temp was low, then went to 36.7 AFTER Ov and has now shot up to 37.0, then yes, that's triphasic. If it was roughly the same until now and it's only just shot up, that would indicate a late Ov. Are you using Fertility Friend? I swear by it. Literally, swear

PS my digi-thermom was a fiver from Tesco and has stood me in good stead.

Cass, there's no reason why you can't get diffed again but I know that feeling far too well of 'it'll never happen, waaaaah!'. In fact, am having it now. Want to get nekkid and oiled up in the pit and have a saucy lady-wrestle?

In fact, let's all get greas-ay and wrong!

Zita West gave PERSONAL advice?!?!?11111?!/1!1?!1

INSTADIFF!!!!!!!!

Although hmmm re. oestrogen excess. I mean: on the one hand encouraging, I suppose, to think that a general overall health improvement will help with that, but since you essentially live a frankly blameless life now, not sure where else you can go? Presumably needles lady can assist?

Yes it does seem to have gone up again - the my pal has just sweetly pointed out that it is very hot today! She has offered to give me her FF (she is a secret PESH) so I might be coming to you for advice. On the swearing as well as the FF: my vocabulary is nowhere near as gratifyingly mucky as yours .

the though

InZitallah, I shall insta-diff! If fucking only.

Needles can't reduce Oestrogen but can help with other factors. I mean, it's just not a problem you see very often, is it - 37 yr old women having too much Oestrogen?! It's just not something women ever want to reduce! Perhaps I shall go on having kids into my 50s! [labia dragging on floor emoticon]

Thank you for your compliments on my fine swearing vocabulary. I did have a headstart, what with my Dad thinking it a fitting exercise in parenting to regularly get me and my brother to compete to see who could say 'Cunt' the most aggressively And I am, of course, the proud inventor of the term 'twatbasket'. I give you all permission to use it freely

But why do you need your friend's FF? I'm talking about the free online tool, are you? I ain't paying for no fancy-shmancy version, pfththththth.

Finished loading 'dishy'?

WTF?

Headtheball I thought you were diffed this month from my lurkings so i am quite cross with your droid. Please have words.
