Well af came in the night (pain actually woke me up and stopped me from going back to sleep), which is fucking great considering I'm on my way to Thailand!!! Grrrr! So much for my baby making holiday, going to spend most of it on the blob! Oh and I'll prob ov on plane on way home! Know its the days before that r important but if I ov on the plane I'm going to make dh jiac!!!! Can't believe I've just admitted that! Those preseed applicator must b useful for something!!!

Nearly at the airport, you just know there's a glass of pino with my name on it!!!!

Hope you're all ok, will stay in touch if there's enough wifi xxx

SidneyBristow · 02/05/2013 17:52

oh kitty Angry on your behalf, AF has lousy timing doesnt she.
have a safe flight - and tell DH his job is to keep your drink fresh at all times!

Tallyra · 02/05/2013 18:04

barkingtreefrog · 02/05/2013 18:14

Ooooo, sunshine!!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
That is all.

ps Angry at AF timing kitty.

Frogcatcher · 02/05/2013 18:52

Oh kitty AF is an evil witch. [Angry] I've had some cramps today too but she's not due till Mon at the earliest. Angry

BlindKitty · 02/05/2013 19:45

Oh girls I'm so annoyed! Dh has just understandably said he won't be able to jiac (I even suggested we but some mucky mags for the way home as out Internet won't work on the plane!!!). Ffs what has this ttc lark reduced me to?!!

sid dh hates me drinking on planes... shame it's a free bar......

Don't know how I'll cope without you guys if there's no wifi!!!! Xxxxx

BlindKitty · 02/05/2013 19:54

Ok so just started crying in the airport.. alcohol and anger clearly don't mix. Dh is upset that I'm 'giving up' but I just feel like I'm starting to accept it won't happen without assistance. Xx

GooseyD · 02/05/2013 20:00

Blind so sorry you're having such a crappy start to your holiday!

CharmingCats · 02/05/2013 20:02

kitty I understand what you mean. Try your best to enjoy your holiday. I don't mean forget about ttc, as such, but enjoy the present. Sun shine and drinks and relaxing, or just the change of scene. It will be lovely. Maybe you and DH can talk more once you've unwound. Be kind to yourself x

GooseyD · 02/05/2013 20:18

Charming - is your cbfm second hand? If so I'm sure you've read you need to reset it but thought worth mentioning in case.

GooseyD · 02/05/2013 20:21

Barking and Boodle - just popped on to say that I've got my date for hsg - it's on Tuesday, cd11. Have also been super lucky in the date of next consultants appointment - Sat 11th - and I've been given a different doctor, who hopefully I'll hit it off with a bit better! Wimwom thanks for the comforting report back on hsg not being that bad!

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/05/2013 20:26

Hello people, any news? How is everyone? Catch me up please!! have missed you all.
I have been absent due to crazy work, plus a bit 'off' at TTC. Shag week at the mo but know getting pg now would be crap as maternity pay doesn't apply unless i get pg after I start my new job in June. Hand my notice in tomorrow on crap current job and then off on hols for a weeks sunshine yey! Any BFP's while I've been gone?

MrsB00Mbastic · 02/05/2013 20:51

Hello berries!

Back from my run of nights -phew. Exhausted, now trying to get back into daytime hours. And have had no chance to dtd for the last 4 days which always puts me in a grump as we're now in shag week #2. Actually to be honest I've given up this cycle, I just want AF to arrive so I can book the hsg. Which of course means she'll bugger off for the next two months! I don't really understand why I'm having hycosy, surely if I've had a previous mc I must have patent tubes (at least on one side)? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Also, is hycosy the same thing as hsg?? goosey glad yours is soon, hope it goes well!

Kitty standard AF sense of timing. So sorry she turned up at the wrong time, completely understand your frustration. I hope you're still able to have a lovely time, enjoy the sun and each other and try and forget the babymaking and do loads of frenzied bonking on the last few days x

Thunder sounds like progress is being made, hope you get your dose upped and get to do the ceremonial BFP floodgate opening soon!

Frog boo to the BFN, still in with a chance though so won't send commiserations just yet!

Charming the baby cried as soon as the head was out, without waiting for its body to be delivered with the next contraction. So we had a good 30 seconds of watching a disembodied head blinking and crying before we saw the rest of the baby!

MrsB00Mbastic · 02/05/2013 20:52

Oh sorry, hi merk nice to see you! No BFPs since you were last here I'm afraid, we've been saving them up so we can all get diffed together :-)

BlindKitty · 02/05/2013 21:00

merk where have you been???? We've missed you!

I'm apparently on a mission to self destruct haven't even got started FYI the little eye mask pouch things on etihad are cool!!!

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/05/2013 21:07

Have there been name changes in my absence??
Why are you on a mission to self destruct?

MrsB00Mbastic · 02/05/2013 21:11

Ha just trying to confuse you merk, I'm Peanut as was. I can't remember why I changed it now, there was a reason I'm sure!

BlindKitty · 02/05/2013 21:16

I made you change it! Because I called you bombastic instead of peanut (which is clearly better).

Because I booked yet another stupidly expensive baby making holiday only to ovulate another time, so I'm celebrating with the free alcolihol!

MrsB00Mbastic · 02/05/2013 21:21

Aaah no Kitty, you called me Boombastic which we all agreed was a far better spelling and then we all had it stuck in our heads for days

Hope the freebie booze is cushioning the AF blow a little. I have very fond memories of Thailand...hmm..and a well-muscled Swedish diving instructor called Jonas... AHEM but those were in my naughtier younger days before Mr Boom!

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/05/2013 21:30

Thighland?! Lucky you kitty. 'twas the scene of my messy hen do!

Tallyra · 02/05/2013 21:31

new job merk, didn't you just start it or am I thinking of someone else?
To give you a recap for me might take a while, but basically I had a crappy day on Tuesday as colleague emailed all the girls in the office to tell them to shh about babies with me after I asked her to mention to them I was feeling bad. cue everyone being overly sympathetic and far too nice. I usually feel that ignoring it is much nicer than people ahhing all sympathetically. Angry

Tallyra · 02/05/2013 21:34

and I started writing that and then went to run a bath so completely missed the boom kitty sagas....

barkingtreefrog · 02/05/2013 21:47

Keep us posted goosey I've still not got to O yet, I've never wished away a cycle so much!!

kitty please try and enjoy your holidayConfused , Thailand is gorgeous!!! I know how overwhelming it can all be though, and sometimes it's actually worse when you're on holiday and don't have work to distract you.

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/05/2013 21:52

Yes tally I started 6 weeks ago but was only a temp contract for 6 months and nobody mentioned my boss was a nutbar til after I joined

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/05/2013 21:54

And tally how crap somebody would email that!! I am Confused that somebody would ever think that was a good thing to do. Poor you.
