Apparently my testosterone is high and my progesterone is low. She sounded very confused about the whole thing I must say. Just phoned up to ask about the hycosy appt, they asked when my next period was due and got annoyed when I said 'some time in the next three months, probably when it's least convenient' haha

Tallyra · 30/04/2013 09:37

Ok, I've had a rub. hoping it fixes random unknown problems as well as gets us duffed...

Sad Sad Sad Sad Colleague's first granddaughter was born yesterday. cue photos being emailed and everyone else in the office cooing and reminiscing and making me feel incredibly sad and left out. I packed up and left the office early because said lady walked in and they proceeded to coo at her too. I don't think they even noticed, which is pissing me off that they don't think anything is wrong. they obviously haven't noticed me going quiet over the last few weeks when she talks about it. Angry

And I was all happy this morning because I finally got some ewcm this month having not seen any last month after I actually was looking for it.

SidneyBristow · 30/04/2013 11:12

great news boom even though it seems totally wrong to congratulate you for a possible hormonal imbalance Wink I say anything that gets you closer to getting pg is a definite step in the right direction. your gp is a joke! v jealous of your hsg appointment; I want one so much and i'm not even quite sure why!

tally take care of yourself, if that means leaving the room when baby talk erupts then do it & don't look back. Thanks

thunder i haven't had thrush in a v long time so can't help; what's going on?

merkin how are you?

Tallyra · 30/04/2013 11:34

yes thunder, I have. essay cream has always done the trick just in time though.. However, I found the thrush made me that much more sensitive it actually want too bad an experience after I told dh to take it easy.Grin

Thundercatsarego · 30/04/2013 13:15

Hmm boom I don't know much about those hormones but I do think it's ace that you get bumped up the queue and get seen quicker. Good stuff.

Yeah sid and tally, just got a bout of thrush at the weekend and hoping it'll be gone in the next couple of days in time for shagathon. Was just wondering whether it would get in the way of ttc if it's still here and was preparing to have another meltdown on the bad timing of life. But I'll keep my cool with that advice tally! Wink

tally really sorry for yet more insensitive people at work. I hate that feeling of being upset and that being ignored, it's like you're shrinking and noone cares. Hug for you- it'll be your turn one day soon x

Tallyra · 30/04/2013 14:43

Well that's gone and done it! I mentioned to a colleague when we were alone that I was finding it hard and wondering if she could mention it to the others and she's only gone and sent a group email round to the ladies in admin to basically telling them to ssh about babies. I have a sinking feeling she might even have included the new gran and now I feel sufficientlyBlush and basically mortified that she might think I wanted her to shut up about her granddaughter.
I want to go home now please.

SidneyBristow · 30/04/2013 18:01

OMG Tally. Not sure what to say bc my mind has totally gone blank from second hand embarrassment!! I'm sure your colleague meant well but she used a sledgehammer when a a gentle tap would've done the job. Nothing good ever comes from a mass email! Can you find out if the new gran was included, and if so maybe go to her directly and explain that you're happy for her but are having a difficult time lately and not able to be as enthusiastic as you wish you could be? I'm sure she'll understand. Thanks

CharmingCats · 30/04/2013 18:26

tally, that's crap! What a mad thing to do! Like sid says, can you catch grandmother alone and explain? Mass emails are the devil.

sid, thanks for your reply about the cbfm. It's flashing m now, suggesting my period is due. Is it assuming a 28 day cycle? I'm cd 27, but 26 on the monitor as af arrived in the evening, so had to set the monitor the following morning. I've never had a 28 day cycle in my life, so would be shocked if that's what happens. Also, that would mean I ov two weeks ago...hmmm ...confused.

Omg and now predictive text is fecking with me - anybody else wanna punch their others half in the face?!?!?! And this iPad too?!?!?

CharmingCats · 30/04/2013 18:30

bunny scream and cry! We're listening. It's so crap, isn't it? We spend our time monitoring and thinking and researching and all the men need to do is dtd, something they enjoy, and at the crucial moment, nothing!! Feel your annoyance.

Tallyra · 30/04/2013 19:35

Grr bunny. Frustrating!!
strange man refusing sex. I have the opposite problem as I'm usually the tired one but I have experienced it occasionally.

Thanks for the Thanks Sid and everyone. I did talk to the grandma and she completely understood and apologised for not thinking about me. turns out she had3 mcs before her 1st, and her daughter has too. I had a couple of annoyingly sympathetic conversations but at least they will be thinking a bit more about it.

CharmingCats · 30/04/2013 19:38

Tally, can understand why you're annoyed - you didn't want to have to have those conversations and the group email forced you into that situation, when all you wanted was for that person to have a quiet word... people are weird.

BlindKitty · 30/04/2013 19:40

frog haha performance enhanced yoga!

cats you don?t always get a peak on your first cycle as its still getting to know you

happy that is reassuring to know that the long termers finally got their bfps

boom maybe it?s a blessing that they?ve actually found something. Maybe now they can treat it?

Right guys, I need to go and pack for my jollys! Oh and still no sign of af, meaning I?m going to be on rag week all first week of my hol grrr!!!!

Thundercatsarego · 30/04/2013 20:36

ARSE! tally and bunny I totally feel your pain with these shitty situations.

tally bull in a china shop or wot? Total respect to you though- you dealt with such a difficult thing three times over all without 'lunching anyone in the face' - sorry bunny but I like this as an aggressive gesture.

And bunny yep I know about this situation, and it SUCKS. FFS is all I can say.

blind have you considered poas if you're late?! (sorry if I've missed something and am being slow)

BoodIeBee · 30/04/2013 20:36

Hi Berries. I've been absent the last couple of days, so just going to have a read and catch up. In the meantime, has anyone read the 'House Rules I Forgot to Make' in discussion of the day?! It's brilliant! I've been chortling away here and it's taking my mind of another AF from hell.

BoodIeBee · 30/04/2013 22:05

Oh no...I deaded the thread!

Tally and Bunny - sorry to hear of your not so good days.

Ello, Soz had friend round so couldn't get back in earlier.

Thanks cats tally thunder boodle men really are a pain aren't they, I just hope mojo returns for shag practice weekend and the shag week!

Lol thunder lunching someone in the face sounds like you are going to deck somebody with a sandwich or maybe slap them with a salad Grin

OP posts:
happylass · 30/04/2013 22:22

Haha Boodle the House Rules thread is indeed hilarious! Loved the "no standing up poos" and " no pulling the leaves off the plants to make salad for your teddies" Smile

Tallyra · 30/04/2013 23:43

does anyone else's dh fall asleep on the sofa and then her all grumpy when you wake him to go to bed? does anyone else just leave him there to get a sore neck and get cold?Grin

Thundercatsarego · 01/05/2013 07:19

Mawnin all

tally mine doesn't tend to do that (he just stays up way later than me making shag week even more exhausting as I have to a) not be annoyed and b) I get even less sleep) but if he did and he got grumpy, yes I would leave him there.

Or I'd lunch him in the face.

This one made me chuckle-

Don't put the cat in the Laundry Basket. Especially when the next person to open the basket is your poor, easily surprised Daddy, who really did not appreciate a cat hanging off his face.

Tallyra · 01/05/2013 08:43

haha thunder. that's probably the only time that throwing food at him would get the 'lunching' effect too!Wink
