Oh bugs that's shit. Weren't you oving by yourself? So the clomid is actually making things worse? FFS.

Moll loving the not so posh Posh story!

Heh Twink @ the pick n mix message! We love pick n mix in this household and KFZK is a Diet Coke addict....

I'm home, but anoid. I left before I had finished everything (so I will have to go back in before Tuesday). I would have stayed but we were supposed to be having dinner with friends tonight. On the way home I found a message from friend cancelling because she is ill (fine, of course), mentioning that she has been feeling crap since lunchtime (argh - if she had told me earlier, I would have worked on and managed to get my two days off ).

And then me and KFZK had a rare sechsfail. TBH I was not exactly feeling hot (tired, stressed, carrying a few pounds of babyblubber). I suspect for him now pregnancy=misery so not really helpful. It was our first go post-mc and I think I am oving today so if we leave it we will miss this month. And if I am right about oving, we won't be able to do IVF on the next cycle as I will be away on the approach to ov. arsemonkeys.

Still, there's always chocolate. If I am going to get the really good cellulite on my arsefat, I'm going to have to put the effort in.

RaspberrySnowCone · 30/03/2013 21:50

Hahahaha twink you are definitely on a promise. A dodgy one but a promise all the same if my experience is anything to go by.

Sorry about the ovaries bugs. Does that mean they will stop clomid?

euro that's shit on both counts. Very frustrating being cancelled on at late notice and secsh fails are awful :( I will offer a hug. Would you like a bucket of prawns or a cod of comfort? Definitely hit the chocolate.

After making up this afternoon MATV is now sulking again because I kicked his ass at scrabble by 100 points. He even packed up the game before we had used all the letters in a strop! He's such a bad loser.

EuroShaggleton · 30/03/2013 22:37

Haha@the bad loser.

Is anyone watching Labyrinth? It's all set around where my PIL's place is in France. There's a bunch of photos of us poking around Carcassonne on FB if anyone is interested.

RaspberrySnowCone · 30/03/2013 22:45

Omg I'm going to stalk you on FB right now! We are heading to carcassone in two weeks! It's on our list of places to go.....

EuroShaggleton · 30/03/2013 23:02

Oh cool, Rasp. We loved poking around there. PIL's place is about an hour away from it, so we sometimes fly in through Carcassonne. It's an absolutely lovely part of the world. Are you a keen cyclist? It'll be good cycling weather when you're there - not too hot. Also good weather for sitting on your arse drinking wine, which is my favourite pastime when down that way. I'm very jealous - I'm missing my annual dose of La Vie en Rose. I think we'll make it down there in July, if not before.

RaspberrySnowCone · 30/03/2013 23:03

Yep we will have bikes with us. And be parked drinking quite a bit of wine and stinky cheese. I LOVE france

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 30/03/2013 23:04

Oh hell, I didn't notice the rogue apostrophe. Bloody iPhone autocorrect that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

In other news, don't forget to adjust your clocks folks!

I'm very jealous, Rasp! I'll have some chocolate to console myself.

I've just realised that Lent is well and truly over. Is it too early for wine?

I feel a bit sad. Sechsfail means we have missed the egg for the first tie ever in more than two years of ttc, and wasted the post-mc fertility boost. Meh. I'm annoyed that I didn't get on the case before yesterday, but the jetlag really wiped me out last week.

RaspberrySnowCone · 31/03/2013 13:06

Don't be hard on yourself euro, you've been through a lot and are working like a mad thing, give yourself time to get back up to full power. From what Ive read the post miscarriage fertility boost last a few months anyway so you've still got time to take advantage. It is now plenty late enough to have wine. With chocolate :)

So this having to cancel our weekend away has proved pretty fruitful, we've had wine, lunch out at a posh steak house, done some shopping, had a massive throwing out/cleaning session, cut the grass and sorted a box full of stuff for eBay to clear slowly through the summer. MATV has said that as the box room is now clear enough to get the PC desk in, once we've moved it he will put my pole up in the bigger spare room. Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllll. But not until we get back from holiday :( but I'm sooooooooo happy! A pole of my own in my own house. This is just amazeballs

EyesWallowsPunk · 31/03/2013 13:21

Happy Easter everyone. I'm gutted my temperature has dropped somewhat this morning (when will I learn than scrutinising temps for fourteen days is self-flagellation??) Euro, sorry about the sex thing. For what it's worth, I shagged like a fallen eunuch in the 'magical' three months post-miscarriage: nowt. Take it easy; your body and mind need a rest, love. I know how it feels though, that urgency after a miscarriage to not miss any opportunity. Bloody shit.

Hello, Frank.

Can someone please tell me where to go to ask loads and loads of questions about IVF? We're hoping to be giving it a shot for the first time this summer and I don't know whether to simply accept whatever they suggest at the clinic or whether I should be somewhere on here harvesting as much information as possible and then demanding a certain protocol or whatever. I am aware that folks on here will not wish to be bored stiff by my questions about IVF, but as a newcomer to mumsnet I don't really know where to go. Thanks for any advice.

EyesWallowsPunk · 31/03/2013 13:30

Gah. Sorry for calling you 'love', euro, it's a bad habit.

EuroShaggleton · 31/03/2013 15:46

Are you northern? [buwink] It's ok, I don't mind. "Hun" tends not to go down well around these parts though.

Well, we had another sechsfail this morning. It's never happened twice in a row before. KFZK is not happy, poor thing. I'm disappointed, but haven't shown it. It's not really encouraging when I feel lardy and horrible, but realistically I know the problem is not related to me carrying a few extra pounds. I think it is more likely to be stress from the mc and the nonsense with his flat. Still, there's always chocolate.

JethroTull · 31/03/2013 16:19

Eyes feel free to PM me IVF questions. A good book is Zita West's Guide to Assisted Conception. I waited bloody ages to get treatment so had a lot of time to read endless stuff!

JethroTull · 31/03/2013 16:21

Euro sorry for the sechs fail. Not sure if you were on here when we went through weeks of it. I really feel for you both.

EuroShaggleton · 31/03/2013 17:11

Eyes the egg buddies thread is for folks going through IVF. There's not a huge number of posters on there, but some have cycled before and so can help with Qs. I found it helpful through my first cycle and have stuck around on there. Otherwise, fertility friends is a good site with loads of info. I'm also happy to answer Qs on here or via PM.

HesterShaw · 31/03/2013 18:18

This thread is making me want to punch things.

Obviously pure envy. Very attractive....

EyesWallowsPunk · 31/03/2013 19:41

Oh, thank you, Euro and Jethro. I will take you up on the private messaging (when I know what I need to know, if you know what I mean). I'll try the egg buddies, too. I'm worried because I keep reading that IVF is a multi-cycle process and that saddens me so much because we don't have that kind of money. I can see what folks mean: that successive cycles can improve on previous protocols and such. I don't know..it's all fucking shit. I didn't know Zita did an AC book. Hasn't that woman made enough money from us yet? [busad]

Hester, I could fucking strangle that woman. I feel like it's a direct attack on how poor me & my husband are

Draff, can I please ask what you consider to be the three best books ever? I read about your library and fell into a daydream My two favourite books are Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and Ludmila's Broken English by DBC Pierre. Not very high-brow, I know, but intriguing and clever. I can't bear anything written by a woman; I think her gender gets in the way. I thought Hilar Mantel would convert me but I felt so marginalised by Wolf Hall; she didn't engage me whatsoever. I'm rambling, sorry..

Just finished watching Silver Linings Playbook: lovely and original, but Jennifer Lawrence did not deserve the Oscar, I'm afraid.

Have a lovely Easter Monday, everyone.

TWinklyLittleStar · 31/03/2013 19:44

Sorry about the sechsfail euro. I know how horrible it is. It won't be about you putting on a few pounds. I know its easy to say, but try to spend time just cuddling and enjoying each other's company without and expectations (sexpectations?) and I'm sure it will just happen.

Back from Sunday dinner with the in laws. FIL's Alzheimers is getting worse, MIL says he has been paranoid and aggressive lately. So bloody sad. HWCA's oldest niece was over, and I (selfishly and unfairly) am cross that any child I have won't have any sort of relationship with him, and not much with MIL - they're so close to HWCA's niece, and have so many lovely memories, and my hypothetical child won't get that.

HesterShaw · 31/03/2013 20:19

Eyes, I don't think we have met. Very remiss of me. How do you do, and welcome :)

I have just stabbed, hags.

HesterShaw · 31/03/2013 20:20

Winks, so sorry about FIL. Sorry and scared :(

TWinklyLittleStar · 31/03/2013 20:23

Sorry hest, I didn't think :(
Well done for stabbing. How was it?
