ALL not at.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 17:41

yup it sucks caboodle rie. I nearly burst into tears in MSB's appointment yesterday when the consultant said "ttc for two years" and then started saying he had no magic overnight cure. I WANT MY FECKING BAYBEE ALREADY!!
Sorry.
Anyhoo. Northey I found the during part was not so bad. The staff were so luffly and looked after me marvellous. All my intimates were under a sheet. I would use the word "smarted" for the sticking the bit in. Words expressed were "OOoohhh, ouch!". I was advised to take painkillers beforehand and I'm glad I did. Afterwards I had a fair amount of spotting. They give you a giant pad which I used to deal with the initial ick and then changed and put my own on before I left perhaps I shouldn't tell you I went into spasm and was in fricking agony all weekend, I understand that's not very common

InTheSunshine · 22/11/2011 17:54

It's utter wank. Even when I pretend everything is ok it isn't really. I just want a fecking baybee.

I do 'glib' very well....'Are you & SSG thinking about having kids Sunny? Me: 'oh when I can buy one on Amazon'

Thank you for advice, everyone. Obviously I will have had an ironidiff by then so it will all be academic anyway. shortly followed by

Is it droidshmertz, rie? Or the thought of it all? I prescribe gin and Maltesers for both situations, of course.

MadameBoo · 22/11/2011 18:33

FUCK IT. I wish there really was some fucking magic baybeedust I could sprinkle on you all.

and that is the only time you'll read baybeedust from me. Unless we're snorting it.

Northey · 22/11/2011 18:35

Or failing to hoover it up because we are too busy eating violet creams and watching shite.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 18:52

Now this woman could be a BESH!! I like her style.
mmmmm violet creams
I iz meant to be on the 1200 calorie part of my diet. I have stuck to it well except for the packet of opal fruits and mars bar I have scoffed

CaveMum · 22/11/2011 18:58

Grin a large gin for that lady! Too bloody right. I have no intention of announcing my imminent impregnation [positive thought and all that] on the Book of Face. If you are important enough to know you will be told in person/over the phone.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 19:01

I had always planned to with some witty comment but in the last six months I'm less and less convinced.....

PerfectDromedary · 22/11/2011 20:37

My friend and I once made cocktails with creme de violette & vodka. They were purple and tasted of parma violets, but looked like meths.

Northey · 22/11/2011 20:39

They sound lethal and ladylike, all at once. Which is nice.

CaveMum · 22/11/2011 20:49

"lethal and ladylike" - just like moi Wink

AuntieDoris · 22/11/2011 20:57

I phoned the specialists again today. The waiting list is now 5 FUCKING MONTHS!! Just for an initial appointment. Am now praying that the fuckers let me have a private appointment. I could cry.

WhoKilledLauraPalmer · 22/11/2011 21:16

bit of a rough day but I'm stopping in to scarf violet creams, snort baby dust and discuss getting pissed. for some stoopid reason I decided to give up drinking. but if there were an ESH gathering...

I see your "maybe this time" Rie and raise you a "two ladies"...deedle-le-dee-dee-dee, ja! Wink

WhoKilledLauraPalmer · 22/11/2011 21:17

oops, x-post

FIVE FUCKING MONTHS?! that's shit, Dory

WhoKilledLauraPalmer · 22/11/2011 21:20

I don't understand why it should take so long just to get started with the initial appointment. absolute pants.

AuntieDoris · 22/11/2011 21:28

I think I might phone up and cry at the secretary tomorrow and see if that works!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 21:35

Great idea dory. Don't forget the whole 'We've only just moved over here...' slant.
Well I'm proper mardy. Definitely pms. Droid due Sunday. Only chances of baybee this month is immaculate conception and I've not had any angel visits. I did have a bath and write in my journal though which both helped.
Every time I use my Johnson's dream bath stuff I think of you Northey Grin

AuntieDoris · 22/11/2011 21:37

Oh, and I will add in here "I have moved here to work for this shitty health system so it's about time I got some help!"

CaveMum · 22/11/2011 22:08

Dor that's crap! [hands over gin] Definitely lay the guilt on thick.

[opens a box of malteasers, takes a handful and passes around]

InTheSunshine · 22/11/2011 22:21

What's a violet creme pliz?

Drom am liking the sound of those cocktails. Grin at *Northey's leathal & ladylike.

No not droidschmertz Northey. I was crossing my legs miserably at the thought of so many instruments and so many eyes going up so many fanjos. It's just WRONG. I just want to get diffed like normal people. We don't want anything up our fanjos. Apart from a willy obv and sometimes not that if I'm honest.

Northey · 23/11/2011 06:20

dor that is awful! How on earth can it be that long? I know there's no other option there, but could you do some sort of fertility tourism thing? Come to London for a couple of days and have a whole set of stuff done privately while you are here. And then present the results when you are back home and get on their waiting list for treatment. And have a drink or two while you are here.

I have put on 4lbs over one teeny little weekend away. Just ARGH. It takes me months to slough off 1/2lb, then I blow it all at once.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/11/2011 07:32

dor what investigations have you had so far? Can you ask the GP to do more while you're have no clue how it works over there
Don't sweat it Northey, its just water weight Hmm
