The Elderberry Pavlovas, sausage bouquets, one giant sofa and the Gü pots of destiny! (thread 9)

[Bunnygirlie]

Come on ladies, this is the one! Time for some BFPs!

The smallprint- Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers)

Guess what? I phoned the fc to find out where my appt letter has got to and I had a lovely chat with the lady about ny problems and why I'm seeing someone. It turns out that I've been referred to the WRONG CLINIC!!
But luckily the consultant should be able to switch mindset and talk about mc rather than fertility. she suggested I got started with them and then transfered to the othe place for results. still got over a month to wait though.
SO FRUSTRATED!!

FFS tally that is SO annoying. I hate that, on top of everything, we have to constantly battle with people and stick up for ourselves when the professionals should be doing it. It's exhausting to say the least.

Well done for getting it sorted though and thank goodness for the lovely lady!

frog you're right pg people are everywhere! I've just been out for my lunch and walked past a pg woman happily smoking a cigarette!!! That made me really annoyed!

thunder hope the phonecall goes well but it does sound very good! Yep crochet was good thanks. Still a little confusing but I guess I just need to practice. I'm trying to make it my new obsession instead ttc yeah right!!

Hi guys! Thanks for all your kind words yesterday / today / whenever it was (I'm still in transit so have lost all sense of time). How embarrassing that I cried in the airport!!!! Had a whole 3 vinos (which I've not had in AGES) and guess they didn't mix well with the af!

Also my friend finally texted (the one who announced she was pg the other day on fb) to tell me shes pg as she obviously thinks I don't know. Now I feel REALLY bad that I haven't even texted to say congrats because I'm a jealous witch. I'm so rubbish! Will do it now!!!!

Frog you better get your line! It will totally make my day if you do! When instadiffers get knocked up its like a bit of me dies but when you guys do, it really is amazing

Do you have a sewing machine yorkie? quilting is easily obsessed about if you have a fabric bent...

Man, there better be wifi when I get there, I can't wait 2 weeks to find out whether frog gets her line. I'm just in the airport lounge atm waiting for flight number 3 urrgggh - sooooo need to sleep now!!!!

Oh tally that is absolutely rubbish. As if it's not stressful enough as it is. I'd feel like hugging the nice lady when I saw her though or at least writing a letter of praise to her boss.

yorkie since when did that become acceptable?!! I know that DP's niece also smoked the odd one when she was pg too. Crazy. I feel guilty because I've just eaten a Krispy Kreme so probably caused my faint line to disappear through sugar overload!

If when I am upduffed I am def going to start knitting. It will be the new domesticated me so I am impressed with your craftiness already.

blind I meant to say so sorry af got you- what horrible timing. Hope she buggers off soon.

Sounds like wifi should be near the top of all out holiday planning agendas though, we all need to stay tuned!

tally I have a sewing machine. Any good websites on beginners quilting so I could give it a go and see what it's like?

Sorry kitty to keep you hanging in suspense! I'm absolutely certain that there will be wifi wherever you are though. I once went to a really remote island off the Caribbean coast of Panama which didn't have any roads or cars but had wifi!

Even when we were on safari in Kenya we had wifi LOL

Just seen on fb that another school friend is pg, that's the 3rd in about a week! I shouldn't really be [jealous] coz they could have been trying for years and be very deserving but I just want my turn too!!!

Had reflexology this morn so feeling nice and mellow, she reckons I'm a few days away from OVing so FX ladies I will ov and this shagfest will do the trick!

Really hope there is wifi and that I get a free upgrade seeing as though I've lied and told them its my honeymoon

If I go off the radar, it just means I haven't but I'll be thinking of you all xxx

at honeymoon lie!! Are you acting all super lovey dovey (and trying to curb the drunken tears)?

bunny, sounds good! Do your feet change through your cycle then?

frog I don't remember reading anywhere about not being able to eat Krispy Kreme's when pg so I think you're safe! Anyway, surely you have to listen to what your body craves and if it is craving sugar then you have to give it what it needs!

blind hope you enjoy your 'honeymoon'!

tally no I haven't got a sewing machine but i think i want one now! Is quilting difficult to do?

thunder there are loads of websites, mostly blogs. I'll look some up. I have just written instructions for a nice beginner quilt using strips - I'll upload that to mine if you like?

I find quilting very simple unless you are going for accuracy, then it can get pretty frustrating, but I love it. there's 2 parts to it. patchwork, to make the 'quilt top' and then quilting, to attach the top to the wadding and backing. (that's just sewing it together, so although I do enjoy doing that part freehand, it's not necessary.)

Lol at honeymoon lie. Me & DP did this in Dubai & said it was our anniversary when reserving dinner at the hotel. We then had massive row before dinner, ate in civil yet frosty terms & were mortified when the restaurant brought out a cake & the singer sang to us so that everyone clapped. DP had just been hoping for a free bottle of wine!

Oh Tally I'd love to do something fabulous and creative like that. Sadly I struggle to thread a needle sew a button on, so that might be beyond me. I totally want to learn to knit though, frog when you are sitting around being all diffed and knitting bump-warmers you will have to let me join in!

kitty bwaha excellent. Have fun on your honeymoon!

Had acupuncture this morning, she asked where I was in my cycle (cd24) and then said she'd do some work to try and make the theoretical bean stick...I don't know why but the idea that there MIGHT be something in there even though I know that realistically there isn't set me off and I lay there with needles sticking out of me having a quiet blub like a crazy lady. Luckily I then had anniversary lunch with husband and got squiffy on bubbles to make myself feel better and ignored the possibility of pickling the theoretical bean

I'm def getting me some of this acu / reflexology stuff as it sounds amazing. Somewhere where you can blub about TTC without sounding crazy or being told you're obsessed is enough for me.

Would I be crazy to pimp again when I get home on grounds that non-FMU may not even give me a faint line & I'll just end up disappointed? Or it may give me a better line so I can actually tell DP & won't be tempted by a glass of vino?

Frog to be honest, I'd just pimp. If it doesn't show anything, you can put it down to not using FMU and you're still going to pimp again in the morning (if you're anything like me) so nothing lost, and it might just give you good news!

And acupuncture is amazing. I love it, even though as yet it hasn't got me upduffed - probably because a) it makes me feel like I'm being proactive and have some input into my treatment rather than being at the mercy of FC and b) it genuinely relaxes me, I always come out feeling positive and happy. Do it!

Got my appointment through for consultant. It's still technically gynae, not FC, but they're doing the same stuff so who cares. 21st June... why is the wait always so long?! Suppose it gives us a chance to get the hycosy and jizz test first. Speaking of which, could someone whose DH/DP has had his swimmers checked tell me how you go about organising the test? The consultant told me to get one but I don't know how, do you just march into a GP and ask for a jizz pot? And then what do you do with the sample?

BTW Tally I meant to say that's terrible, can't believe they booked you into the wrong flipping clinic! Glad it hasn't lost you any time, but still

Well being away from home obviously agrees with DH, been at hotel hour and half, DTD and chilling with some prosecco in a robe, very glam lol

Apologies now for spelling mistakes, using itouch as didn't bring iPad! Very small keyboard!

Thunder - my feet change?!?!?

Tally - I have been getting my creative side on, made some bunting for DHs birthday, haven't done any sewing in years but the GB sewing bee gave me the bug!

Urg, on train to see my mum and sitting opposite, you guessed it, hugely preggers woman...

Hmm will definitely consider quilting tally anything to relax me as I'm a real stress head at the moment.

bunny glad you're having a lovely time.

boom my DH got a referral to the clinic from his gp and he had to go along and give his sample at the clinic - pots and inspiration provided there! I don't know of it depends on the gp practice though.

Speaking of that there are no results back today on DH's swimmers. The clinic has sent the results but gp has not received them yet. Frustrating! I've also had another negative on my opk so am now worrying I'm not going to ovulate this month. Anyone else had a cycle of not ovulating or should I be worried that something is wrong? Typically it's the month I've been referred for blood tests as well.

Bunny glad to hear getting away has changed the 'cleaning the oven' style reaction to your advances - that was you wasnt it? Maybe i need to go book something!
