Ooooo Popcorn & Bean go smack those rats!

Beedle my LP is usually 14 days but to be honest I feel nothing, have no symptoms and really think it may be the clomid stretching the LP out!

CupcakesAndCocktails · 08/11/2011 12:02

Looks embarrassed in the face of Aunty Beans lecture. Boozing for babies is not big or clever Grin

Seriously though I do wonder if the odd glass of wine would loosen me up a bit? After my first month of ttc I had already pretty much given up drinking and now only slip around AF tine (even then I now only have a few)

Solars · 08/11/2011 12:02

Thanks Cupcake and good luck to MrCupcake When do you go back to your drs?

ScrambledSmegs · 08/11/2011 12:04

Ooh Solars that sounds good! I understand how you feel about testing, no pressure from me I promise Smile.

Right - last night there was a big old ruck on a doghouse thread. One vairy attention-seeking poster (TLES) posted some utter rubbish about getting rid of her dog because of dognapping fears. Many others came on to point out inconsistencies in her post and previous threads, including DBF. It got heated. DBF was one of the more restrained posters although she did make a rather blunt post about the lies, after she was accused of lying by TLES. The original thread was deleted DBF is now banned as she has been aggressive in the past and was warned about it by MNHQ. It's all been kicking off in AIBU and Site Stuff as DBF is a well known and mostly well liked poster (previously Valhalla). Check Active Convos for the current thread.

I haven't posted full names as it's all a bit mad and I don't want to bring any unwelcome attention.

Does clomid lengthen LP? I must admit I'm quite ignorant about clomid. All I know is it can enhance/stimulate ovulation and can have some rubbish side effects.

BeedleTheBard · 08/11/2011 12:05

come now solars, if anything we notice can be a sign of being preggo, surely feeling no different is also a sign IYSWIM Grin

cupcakes good luck to your DP, though perhaps its best not to mention to him that you have been telling random women on the internet about his sperm test and that they are sending him good luck Shock

CupcakesAndCocktails · 08/11/2011 12:07

Oops hope I haven't attracted any unwanted attention to the brokers Scrambled I am fairly naive on how mn works as have only just started venturing out of conception.

CupcakesAndCocktails · 08/11/2011 12:10

Ha I'm mean brookers not brokers!

Thanks for the good wishes, I will definitely not be passing it on to DH though. You are right he will not appreciate it! I tried to make my follow up appointment the other day but they said I have to wait until the sample is accepted at the lab so will try to arrange it tomorrow. Am just glad that we have completed the first round so to speak Smile

Solars · 08/11/2011 12:13

yes Beedle that is worth pointing out about Cupcakes DP Grin

Cupcakes I don't know if clomid does lengthen your LP to be honest but there's also another lady on the clomid thread who is in the same position as me and she's been getting bfns so not sure what's going on, did try and ask Dr Google, but couldn't find anything concrete!

Scrambled looks like i'm going to have to check out those threads when Iget another 5mins!

ScrambledSmegs · 08/11/2011 12:14

Ah no worries Cupcakes. I doubt one post on the rat-smacking thread will get us in trouble!

Forgot to sat, Justine & Carrie are co-founders of Mumsnet. You get one of them on thread (normally Justine, never seen Carrie) it's generally a Very Big Deal.

SweetieDoesIt · 08/11/2011 12:15

Beedle I do hope you are ok after that terrible Drs appointment. I would go with your DH assessment of the situation in the meantime, men they can be wise sometimes.

Solars fingers very crossed for you, agree no symptoms might be a symptom

Bean I am off for acupuncture this evening, I have been going every week for the last month. I went initially about panic attacks but the practitioner is also looking at regulating my cycle. Trouble is I am finding it a bit too expensive at the moment so might have to have a word with him about reducing how often I go.

Has anyone tried reflexology? I know a couple of ladies both who were TTC for over 2 years, went for reflexology and both fell on the very next cycle. Amazing.

I should be OV this week too, not quite sure what day but my money would be on Fri or Sat. Sat is DH birthday imagine if the timing was right and it all happened for us this time!!

ScrambledSmegs · 08/11/2011 12:17

I think Clomid does lengthen LP. I was looking into ways to treat a short LP and Clomid was definitely on the list.

PopcornMouse · 08/11/2011 12:25

Cupcakes I am all about the booze rock and roll ;)

Feeling a bit fed up today, ladies. I had planned on being either slim or pregnant by Christmas, and I've realised the liklihood of being either is slim-to-none. So what did I do? I bought a box of krispy kremes. Fail!

BeedleTheBard · 08/11/2011 12:28

well if it makes you feel better popcorn I can take the donuts away from you and eat them. Anyway you're not fat, you're storing nutrients that will be needed for your little bean very soon.

CupcakesAndCocktails · 08/11/2011 12:33

I had a similar plan Popcorn, I thought that if I lost a bit of weight I a) might get pregnant or b) look so fabulous that I wouldn't mind not being pregnant! I have failed on that score Sad

Chuck me one of the new Jaffa cake krispy kremes please!

Solars · 08/11/2011 12:34

Thanks Scrambled could be the clomid then. Great, now I have a 2.5ww rather then a 2ww Confused

Awww Popcorn there's still a chance for both, perhaps just have the one krispy kreme and pass the box over to me :)

whimsicalname · 08/11/2011 12:35

Me too! Was trying to get fit too...

mmm doughnuts.
