So how does he know you have an infection??! And it you do, sure different types of bacteria require a different type of treatment.

Can you see someone else?

HalleLouja · 09/02/2011 07:23

Fairy I think your doc sounds clueless to me. Maybe its something to do with the drugs you are on??

HalleLouja · 09/02/2011 07:30

On another note my mum told me that she felt sorry for DS that I was his mother. If it was up to me she would not be living in my house. Even if she had no where to live I would chuck her onto the streets. DH is going have a word when he is back later. Have told my bro as well.

harassedinherpants · 09/02/2011 14:13

Omg Lou that's awful!! Is she staying temporarily? Can she go to your brothers to give you a break? I think you deserve a medal...

Fairy how're you feeling today??

I'm on tenterhooks waiting for dh to go down for surgery. I had to drop him off at 7.30am, crazy!

HalleLouja · 09/02/2011 18:11

She should be out by the end of the month.

Fairygodmother1 · 09/02/2011 18:35

He did a wee stick thingy for the water infection after I pee'd in a pot! I know I def have a water infection - it bloody hurts!!

The EWCM thingy might be the meds! But Dr very clueless!!!

OMG!!! Lou that comment was way below the belt even for a mother! Even if she thought it, it shouldn't be said!!! What was her grounding for this obvious incorrect statement?

Pants when is DH home for some TLC? I'm ok, wee still burning but worse in the morning than afternoon Hmm. Got the antib's for the WI so only Wine I can have...may need a glass on valentines dinner on Friday!!!

Oh Lou, roll on March! Good Luck, I hope you manage to keep from applying a pan to your mums anatomy for the next 3 weeks! Is your bro local to you?

FairyG I hope the anti-bi's work quickly for you (and that you find a less clueless gp!)

I went to see the midwife counsellor this morning, cried (a lot) and she was really nice, I do feel much better for having said some stuff and she told me that it is all normal. I know you lot all told me that, but it is nice for a medical professional to confirm it, she also suggested to ask the specialist to do a blood test for egg quality, apparently that is possible, so I will find out if all my eggs are duff or just the one that got up-duffed last year. So back we go!

So thank you for giving me the shove I needed to get myself down to see her.

Odd how much better I do feel, just having a chat with someone who says I am normal! (obviously she doesn't know me that well Wink)

Oh and rtd today so I'm out for this month.

Squeshie · 09/02/2011 22:03

FairyG - get well soon! It sounds quite painful :(

Lou - that is terrible, wouldn't blame you if you did throw her out! Cheeky mare especially as she is staying in your house!

Fairygodmother1 · 09/02/2011 22:13

Big hugs Umb. I'm ok really & i've got one of those sugeries where it's a gp lottery as to who you see!!

Glad you went for a 'chat' and got things off your chest. Go and have a seat on the pouffes, grab the emergency chocolate & alcohol out of the fridge. 2 days & I might be joining you!!!! Wine

Squeshie It's not too bad unless I need a wee!!! Blush

notheroldie · 10/02/2011 08:48

Fairy After my last c/s I got all sort of infections and cystitis from the catheter. I found pouring warm water on your bits when having a wee lessened the pain as it diluted the wee coming out so stopped the stinging.
Maybe wee in the shower, or bath too? Grin

lou we must have the same mother.

Fairygodmother1 · 10/02/2011 20:13

Thanks Youngie It's not as bad as it was Monday. 3/14 antib's taken.

RTD is due to sweep in the next few days.

Also feeling pretty down & sorry for myself Sad

How's everyone else?

OP posts:
harassedinherpants · 10/02/2011 20:49

I'm feeling down and sorry for myself too. As if the mmc, erpc, infection & thrush wasn't enough doc thinks I have infected eczma down there now. I've been quite sore and thrush cream was helping but not totally, so he had a look, took a swab and gave me some crea. Un-flipping-believeable..

Fairy glad it feels a little better.

Um glad you found it helpful. I still haven't done anything about an appointment, maybe tomorrow.

Lou, you ok??

Dh came home today Grin. I'm amazed at his recovery! He's putting it down to being so fit this time, as he wasn't boxing last time.

lia66 · 10/02/2011 21:07

Ooh good I've found you. :)

Just popping on to say hello to lou and anyone else who knows me. Hope you are all well.

Gonna have a read now. 5 wks to go. [eek face]

Squeshie · 10/02/2011 21:44

pants that is pretty pants!

Hope everyones bits get better soon :)

I'm okay, busy at work and working away from home is kinda frustrating, awaiting tomorrow with eagerness. It's rubbish as I am positive I am ovulating - managed bd on Sunday but think it was too early to catch it - gonna try for tomorrow night too and hope for best. Sorry if is TMI, fingers crossed anyhoo!

On another note. anyone also trying to lose weight or get fit? Just got back from Zumba, really loving it, loads of fun! Thought I'd better get on it, the false start last time left my body carrying weird weight - if that makes any sense? So I need to look and feel better methinks :)

Sorry for the essay xxx

Fairygodmother1 · 10/02/2011 21:50

Aww Pants We're falling apart...Hmm

Hey Lia, how's it all going?

Squeshie I'm always losing weight to get a BMI of 29 for IVF!!! I've wanted to try it but the only class locally that I could go to is 7:30pm which is far too late on a school night lol Grin

HalleLouja · 11/02/2011 08:19

[Passes superglue for FairyG and GString to stick themselves back together.

Liamylovely so is it 5 weeks until you get induced or are you 35 weeks preggers?

Am off to Cirque du Soleil tonight and maybe a night in a hotel too! Should be nice.

lia66 · 11/02/2011 08:28

5 wks to term. Have decided not to go with induction so planning hb now.

Bloods have all been normal so no need to induce imo. Got mw coming Tuesday to talk me out of it about it. Cons said he'd prefer I went to hosp but would support hb. I didn't hear the bit about preffering hosp so have decided he said he'd "be delighted" to support the hb. :)

Ooh am jealous about Cirque de soleil.

harassedinherpants · 11/02/2011 13:23

fairy we are indeed! Doc said it was a combination of having been prg so immune system down, plus everything else. He said it's not surprising really, and need to look after myself. So you must do the same lol!

Squeshie I'd love to do Zumba, but the days here are no good for me. I joined Slimming World on Wed. Done it before and it was really good, I just should have stuck with it!

Lou, have a fab time. I think you deserve a night away!!!

Lia, how exciting! I hope your mw is supportive of your hb decision. I know the ones round here are now the birthing centre is closed.

I'm just chilling with dh today. Although have sorted out utility room. Actually room is over generous. It's more of a corridor with room for washing machine, tumble drier and some shelves, on the way to downstairs loo. Aka dumping ground apparently Hmm, not sure why there's jump leads out there...

Squeshie · 13/02/2011 09:41

Clearly everyone is busy over the pre Valentine's weekend! I have been all over the place emotionally - my estimated cycle dates put me near ovulating or at ovulation this weekend so have been a little over enthusiastic re SW.

Unfortunately DH has been unwell so we're not on the same page, I was gutted yesterday after getting home on Friday and we'd still not done the deed properly iykwim - eeek sorry tmi! But managed to cajole him yesterday - obviously I want to conceive etc but the worse part is I have been extremely ready for it Blush and he wasn't. Eeeek! So still only at 2 for SW.

Just thought I'd share the pain... well or not.
Making myself relax about it. Deep breath - thanks!

Fairygodmother1 · 13/02/2011 10:00

Morning Squeshie I've been checking in but no-one had posted.

I'm due on any day now but doesn't look like it's coming yet! Prob a late one that will get my hopes up!

My eyes are really stinging today - have no idea why. They also feel like I've been crying for hours but haven't.

We went out for Valentines on Friday. Very Romantic & a surprise. Last night we had a picky dinner (I know bad for the diet). Hoping for a chilled out Sunday. Grin

OP posts:
Squeshie · 13/02/2011 12:34

Awh surprises are always good :) DH got me a lovely swarovski bracelet - we had our valentine's early too!

We had chinese. not very good for the diet at all - oh well, trying not to stress about these things! :)

Fairygodmother1 · 13/02/2011 13:26

Haven't got my present yet - not flowers otherwise I would have had them by now!!!

Currently cooking a lovely roast!

harassedinherpants · 13/02/2011 18:14

Oh you lucky things, I suspect I've got nothing as per normal!!! I don't think he's even got a card tbh, as he said I'll have to wait until after work. You'd think he could make an effort occasionaly Hmm.

Had a bitty but busy weekend, and we have a new addition. A 9wk old kitten!! Dd is in 7th heaven Grin.

Cycle-wise, something is happening I think. I'm moody (moodier actually!), tummy is swollen and have sore boobs. For once, I'll be glad to see RTD.

Fairygodmother1 · 13/02/2011 18:32

RTD should have been here today but doesn't look like it'll be any time soon. Boobs sore & also moody-swings (not as bad today as Fri & Sat). My eyes are on/off stinging & very watery at times.

My valentines present is in a giftbag on the bed...wonder what it is???

OP posts:
UmBongo · 14/02/2011 21:16

Well it must have been good FairyG cos you have obviously been having fun with it for a whole day without reporting back!

How are you today Pants? Hope the new kitten hasn't shredded the whole house (yet)!

My valentines present is still in the shop! I'll have a Brew instead!
