O Little Town of BESHlehem: Population Waiting. We're no angels but we're being --really really-- mostly good...now give us what we want

[LauraPalmer]

Or we burn the place down!

Thanks Boo. I just needed to get it off my chest (although to be honest there's not much on my chest!).

I know we just have to be logical about it, it's all the waiting that drives me mental. If I could just start the fecking IVF tomorrow I'd feel better. He has promised that he will read some of the IVF book that I've bought - I want him to understand what is going to happen, at the moment I think he expects a few injections and then boom! Baybee win.

Good work with the scales Boo & give the Shag Dictator hell this month

Oh sunny I feel for you Waiting drives you crackers. Fact.
Nice work boo. The scales are not my friend today, went in the wrong directing unrelated to the chocolate comfort eating of course
Me and MSB are having a lovely chilled afternoon drinking tea and watching House.

:) bugs
sunny I find the living room floor lures MSB in a more successful way than the bedroom!

Ps I fear I am borderline between wallowing and slumping into depression. I don't like my job as much as I hoped I would. Not good. Best hope exercise will flip the balance back into positive.

Pps I'm watching Frozen Planet. I luff penguins. I want a baybee penguin for Christmas.

I'm watching it on demand - gotta luff the virgin! The male penguins keep the eggs incubated too! Can't quite get over the elephant seal beach master and his harem of 50 females. How does he get round them all?!

Bet he's really stinky too!

Bendy spent some time in the Falklands a few years ago and went down to the beaches where the penguins and seals live. He said it smelt rank - like a week old slop bucket at a fishmongers - that's a sick emotion btw.

Clomid pill No1 has been popped - I'm sitting back and waiting for the egg growing to comence

Usual side effects are headaches, nausea, blurry vision and hot sweats - fun!

No shagging needed whilst on the pills - you take them on Days 2-6 of your cycle and then start the manic humping from Day 10 till you OV. I then have to have a blood test on Day 21 to confirm that I have ovulated.
We're hoping that shagging all of next weekend, a mid-week quickie and then more rampant shagging the following weekend should do the trick - I'm anticpating sore bits by then!

I was thinking about some fertility lube. I've got some Ann Summers stuff, but i don't know if it is sperm friendly or not. Anyone got any recommendations?

Sperm friendly you're really looking at Conceive plus or pre-seed. We got conceive plus from Boots. generally I think you only get pre-seed online correct me if I'm wrong
Only issue I have with conceive plus is that it's fricking freezing. Takes a bit of warming up with has the potential to lose the moment but not as much as putting freezing lube on his member

Already in bed watching crap factor. Bored. Send Klitty home.

Bugs getting pissed whilst prepping for IVF isn't really recommended. After 2 years of trying & failing & knowing the faulty white goods are to blame I don't think shagging on the stairs will relieve the pressure. Believe me. I've tried it all. Most of the time the sechs is great. It's just when it all gets too much that this happens. I have cried a lot today. Most of the time I'm a reet hard faced cow so I guess it does me good to get it all out.

What's wrong with your job Faith? Sunday nights are shit for thinking about work.

Ah it's just that there was three of us, they pulled the funding for the two temporary jobs one of which was mine My colleague got her place to do her Msc so I'm doing her job but on my own. Too much time to myself is not good for me. Hence why I'm on MN on and off in the day. Find myself longing for the weekend all the time.
I definitely empathise about the sechs issues. Does take it's toll at times. I think all you can do is express the emotions in the moment

Doesn't sound like much fun. You're right Faith even though today has been rubbish I feel like at least me & SSG have talked about stuff.

We have days like that, at least every couple of cycles. Horrible but I guess only to be expected and at times the only way of expressing how crap ttcing really is.

Really really don't want to get out of bed and go to work....
