TTC on the frontier of polite society . Shoot outs compulsory.

New joiners will be welcomed after completing the Beshtionnaire and showing us their blazing saddle.

Ooh, mixed my strikethrough and bold there..

sinkingflameofhilarity · 06/03/2012 13:51

W.t.actual.f? Is that bold not bold at all, but subscript? Or is it my phone. Need to hat back to work.

Oh gosh, euro and faithy, I'm so sorry about all you've been through/are going through with your parents. And flamey, even though it was diagnosed and dealt with before you were born.

My bloody March appointment was never made! I just phoned to chase it, and now there isn't availability till the end of April. Staff problems apparently cock up. By that time I will be thirty fecking four. Apologies to those who are already past that - it's just the ticking over into a different number thing. Am going to phone each week for cancellations. And fume.

Fee do PM me your details. I'll support you.

Norfy I know what you mean about the next number thing. It bothers me too. I was 34 (just) when we started trying. I'm now 36. sobs I have no idea why the flipping NHS can't sort out its admin. I've whinged on here before about how my referral was lost (twice). It's just sh1t. We're told to try to relax and then the very people who are supposed to be helping us generate huge amounts of additional stress by making us chase appointments and results. It annoys me. Can you tell?

FriendofDorothy · 06/03/2012 16:18

Euro I think you and I must be the same person in parallel lives. We started trying when I was 34 and now I am 36. It feels a bit shitty sometimes.

How frustrating northey! Give em hell.
Thanks to the offers of sponsorship, I've sent the link.
Er, we started to climb Snowdon.....we managed up to about 2500 feet but then it got very snowy! Since we didn't have the necessary equipment like walking jackets, walking poles and crampons! we took stock of the view, took some pictures and hobbled back down. We walked about 6 miles, no mean feat. Stopped at a cute little cafe bar at the bottom that served tea, coffee, the nicest hot chocolate in Britian and real ale...so I drove home! There was a family with a little two month old with a bilateral cleft lip....he was so adorable! I wanted to say that my friend has a little boy with that too...but I didn't want to draw attention to it.
sinking sometimes in the tww I really struggle to sleep. MSB breathes that annoys me and sometimes I feel really uncomfortable in my own skin! I was like that Saturday.
Yes euro it shows but hey, you're entitled to be p*ssed off!

6 miles is pretty good going by any standards! I bet that hot chocolate tasted good afterwards. I will take a look at the PM later - thanks.

KatAndKit · 06/03/2012 16:31

You are not menopausal! Maybe you just need to turn your heating down a bit? I have no idea if this is a pmt symptom but I can't see why it wouldn't be, hormones and all that.

norf you are right to be fuming. Am cross on your behalf at their lack of efficiency.

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 06/03/2012 16:35

I seriously doubt you're pre-menopausal. I do get hot too at night just before the droid hits town and usually I'm freezing all the time. Maybe you should go and speak to your GP if you're worrying yourself about the changes in your cycle? If it would out your mind at ease...

eurochick · 06/03/2012 16:38

Bugs progesterone increases body temperature so it might be to do with that? It's why temping works to show when you have ovulated - the corpus luteum releases progesterone after ovulation causing a temp rise. So it's probably that.

KatAndKit · 06/03/2012 16:39

euro speaks much sense there.

Northey · 06/03/2012 16:46

I share the annoyance. It makes me think it's all an elaborate ploy to make me too old for NHS ivf when they have finally exhausted all the other options.

bugs, probably a combination of the progesterone thing and the fact that the temperature outside has suddenly got a lot warmer in the last few days. Well, it has here, anyway. Or if not that, then diffedness (hurrah)! But not menopause, you loon.

CaveMum · 06/03/2012 16:54

I get very hot at night pre and during droid. My Clomid has helpfully added Days 2-6 of my cycle into the mix Hmm I'm talking full on night sweats [yuck]

Perhaps I'm just a steaming bowl of hotness Wink

eurochick · 06/03/2012 17:03

The progesterone pessaries I have been taking this month have sent my temps sky high. My acu lady could tell I was "running hot" too.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 06/03/2012 18:12

God. I always sound manic when I read back what I write on here.. And the punctuation! Don't start me on that. I do normally bother..

No hot flushes here. But do have terrible skin and not sleeping... But only have 3 cycles left before I've maxed out my allowance. And then it's ivf. :(

With you on the post-exercise misery bugslife. Since running yesterday and walking today I have huge blisters on my arches...so painful it's hard to walk :( nightmare.

Northey · 06/03/2012 19:59
