MORNING!

Thought this would be a nice spot to chat with the TTCers that have been trying for some time. A bit of support for each other and all that!

So, grab a drink, and a barstool, and get chatting.

There's bouncers on the door, so no riff-raff, and the licence is LATE,LATE,LATE!!

Oh and loads of baby dust on tap!!

HK - I totally agree.
I even agreed to let medical students observe one of my treatments! There I am with no knickers on and a leg in each wing of the hospital when the consultant (not the usual lovely man but some snotty idiot who thought that just because I had no knickers on I was rendered stupid and mute...)starts pointing out stuff on the screen. He turns to me condescendingly and says, "Don't worry, Mrs Spub, this area is actually microscopic in size but we have magnified it".
I reply frostily, "Yes, Dr. I am aware of how magnification works and I do also know that my cervix is not in fact the size of Hampden Park". (a football stadium)Cue lots of sniggering from the medical students and then my realisation that being cheeky to the consultant under those circumstances might not be that wise.....

HellKat · 19/10/2005 09:22

Lmao!!!!!!!
Yep know the feeling on magnification!!! My pubes resembled the national forest! Looked like Giant Redwoods!
Luckily it was only the consultant and the nurse there but disturbingly he turned out to be the very same man who delivered me as a baby! He took great delight in saying this. Legs akimbo, his wiry grey head pops up from between them and says "Hmmm your surnames very familiar", head down, poke, prod, "Very familiar in fact, have I treated you before?", Rummage, rummage " Aha!! I know. I remember your mother, I delievered you. My you've grown since then". All this whilst he's examining, prodding etc my nethers! Very very odd.
Lovely old man btw lol

carly82 · 19/10/2005 11:34

hi diddle!
i have no idea what day im on my af started on the 15 september so theoretically i should be on cd 34 but i bled up until last tues i dont know when i should be testing or not to bother until my next af turns up (whenever that will be) i just feel so sad that i lost a month cos of my stupid body doesnt know what its doing! im so sorry to moan but i just feel so useless right now i keep looking back at the test to see if maybe that little line has come up but nothing

Diddle · 19/10/2005 11:49

carly82 - My cycle went a bit haywire too, went from 35 days which was normal to 43 days, all over the place. Your body is just regulating i guess.

Hi there!

HC - you didn't need to apologise, Hun. You have every right to be wrapped up in whats going on. I'm soooo happy for you babe! XX

HK - poor DS2 and poor you Hope you are feeling a little better now. Were you able to postpone your landlords visit? XX

Carly - about your bfn. But like Diddle said , it might just be too soon.. As your cycles was obviously all over the shop last month, it might mean that you are only just PG. Chin up, hunni! XX

Thanks for all you reassurance everyone. I'm sure you are all right and it is nothing to worry about. I laughed so much at your smear and colposcopy stories! Made me smile! Thanks XX

I've been to take my lovely new Picasso into the dealers this morning to have some scratches removed from the body work, and as a courtesy car they have given me a Pluriel!! Its a 4 seater ffs!! How do I get me, DH and 3 kids in a 4 seater!!!! AARRRGGGHHHH! bloody salesmen!!!!!!

that should have been 2 mcs in between sorry

HellKat · 19/10/2005 19:16

Hiya me darlins'!
Quick hi and bye here.
Ch- yep all postponed until next week. Apparently it's not the landlord that's coming but the letting agent (she's a sweety btw) so still none the wiser. Ds2 is back to normal (I'm getting there too!).
Little angel (ds2 lol) for the past 5 nights, put himself to sleep on his own (big deal as I used to love snuggling with him until he went to sleep). He now has a cuddle on our bed then fidgets when he's had enough, pop him in and nothing until 7. (He's fast a kip now). Bless him, he's started almost every routine he's had. He really is a cherub. All together now ahhhhhhhhhhhh, .
Carly- My cycle's took ages to sort themselves out and even when I thought they had, they mess me about again (take this one for e.g). Hang in there.
Hope everyone's great!
Off to drink my Dr Pepper, curl up and read trashy mags!
Night all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HellKat · 19/10/2005 19:18

Debbs- Just saw this as I was leaving. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}. You poor thing. I know how hard it is ttc after 7 mths but that must be awful for you! We will get there in the end. Sometimes it takes time though. xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi again!

Just had a phone call with really bad news. A friend of mine and Pauls who we knew in younger years when we worked at a restaurant, has killed himself. Really, really shocked - can't believe it! He was the kindest, happiest man you could ever meet. What a waste...
