The Elderberry Pavlovas: sit on the sofa of hopefulness and make yourself a special omelette while prescribing the vomming cat to those that deserve it and observing the lunching of the tactless.

It's time for some more grads!!

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

bunny loving the new abbrieviation haha

No point in going private now, been waiting since feb, just got my hopes up for June but I should have known it would start later. Oh and as nice as she was she kept saying 'the last batch had just been called and you'll be in the next batch'. Quite annoyed that she referred to me as a batch. She did get a nurse to call me but I was with o e of my own patients do couldn't answer.

Will you have to put up with him again next year cats? What did you decide to do re teaching posts?

I can't wait until half term, although our week in the campervan has turned into coming home Thursday so DP can go to London to see Greenday and generally party for the weekend, and this weekend we've got to go and visit his granny in hospital as she's had a stroke . Also, I'm stressing about when I'm going to get my reports written, my planning done for first week back, and my uni work done for this stupid SENCO qualification I have to get.

So we have ROR (rug of rage), the SOP (sofa of pity) and the POP (pouffe of possibility) lol

I'm going to ring my docs in the mornings, hopefully get appt to discuss my results and see what the next step is for me!

Good luck bunny

barking maybe dp going away will give you a chance to catch up on one of your million and one jobs? Every cloud? X

kitty I'm not remotely bothered by DP going away now, that was just hormones!! I'm going to get my reports done and some planning. Trying to work out whether there's any chance of getting in a quick visit to my family as well.

Uuurgh berries I'm so tired, was up late last night doing a presentation and just drove halfway to uni before realising that in my dozy state I hadn't put it on the memory stick and brought it with me! Idiot! So now I've had to drive 15 miles back home and no point leaving again until rush hour over, so necking black coffee and it's full fat caffeinated so will give my eggs the jitters until 9. BAH!

I'll do a proper catch-up later when I'm not so bleary, just popping in to grumble.

Good luck bunny with your doc today, hope you get an appt!

And hello everyone else! x

Oh no boom what a nightmare :-(

Thanks ladies, got appt this morning so will let you know what she says.

In other news, my friend had her baby this morning, HER FOURTH!!!!!!! As much as a I love her I am just so incredibly jealous!!! I just want one for starters!

Oh and the evil witch got me this morning so that's a full year of sadness now!

It's very lonely in here today

Grrrrr....really fed up. Had talked to work about covering a maternity cover ages ago. They said that the teacher hadn't decided. She's leaving at the end of the week and the student she had last term is covering the class!! Found out on the grapevine. No-one had the courtesy to even tell me. Just left me wondering. Ffs.
bunny so sorry about af and your anniversary. I'm only 2 months behind you and feeling very demoralised too. How did it go at the doc's?

. Sorry AF got you. When's your appointment? I've got mine on Tues to discuss results of bloods I had last week and look at getting referred. Looks like we're pretty much at the same stage there. Although I may have lied exaggarated to GP a bit about how long we've been TTC. Fx things get moving for us here. Still no temp rise and really don't think I'm gonna OV this month. Just when I was feeling really positive too humph!!

Hey happy and cats

Grrrrrr cats that is pants!

Nothing wrong with a few white lies happy, my docs think I have been trying 16 months when it's actually 12!

Yep horrid day today, still shattered from travelling yesterday, then first day of AF does not leave me in a good state of mind not to mention the cramps that woke me at 6 this morn grrrrrr

Saw my doctor, she can't refer me till DH has results of his test so i'm annoyed that he still hasn't sorted that out! On the plus side the last bloods I had showed that I did ovulate so that's a relief!
However I mentioned to the doc about changing my address and she now wants me to register with a different doctor, cue tears from me! Felt like a right lemon but I have been at the same surgery all my life and I don't want to get to know another doctor, what if they aren't sympathetic to what I'm going through!

Back from my presentation, went ok. Now just bashing out another essay and then - it's DONE, no more work due in for a month or so! Woop! ignoring the fact that the next piece of work is a 10000 word dissertation

Happy keeping my fingers crossed you just missed your temp rise?

Charming How rude! They could have let you know!

Aw bunny sorry the witch got you and you have to shift doctors. At least you'll get to pick your new doc, maybe you could put out feelers and see if there are any particularly sympathetic ones that friends might have? Don't blame you for the , FOUR babies when all we want is one! I'm having my own green-eyed-monster moment. Was feeling reasonably cheerful until I got a text from a friend of a friend inviting me to her baby shower. Didn't know she was diffed. It's very sweet of her to think of me - probably because I invited her to my wedding party last year - but all I can remember is that the last time I saw her I was PG and she was drunk and rubbing my tummy yes, annoying and going 'aaaaw, you're having a baybee, I want one!' And now she's having one. And I'm not.

Quick, someone get me some positivity, STAT!

I,m not sure how to do the positivity thing right now, but I can offer you and chocolate instead. well done for getting that handed in though. it sounded like a nightmare getting halfway there and having to turn back!
Sending you lots of hugs too...

bunny on the other hand, what if they're better??!! My gp didn't say I had to wait for sa before fc referral. The clinic just dealt with us both

Thanks boom Sorry to hear you are feeling as low as me.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have been pg and not ended up with a baby, obviously a few berries have had mcs which must be horrendous, but in a weird way at least you know you can make a baby, does that make sense?

Sorry but no positivity from me, I am a glass half full kind of person

Ah kitty I guess the new docs might be better, fingers crossed!

I agree bunny. Not that I'd ever wish for something as awful as a mc, but after 2 years of trying, i wish i just had sone hope that I might get pg one day. Can you tell I'm in the 2ww lol? I'm clearly no longer on the pouffe of possibility!!!!

I put a funny thing on fb today and it got hijacked by pg twin woman and another friend talking about when the babies arrive. .

And the hospital called and moved my HSG appointment tomorrow. It's now at an even more inconvenient time.

But hey, I'm being positive, so I am ignoring the comments on fb, and am focusing purely on the fact that the most important thing tomorrow is the HSG, so if work has to be inconvenienced and I can't speak to the ed pysch after she's seen the child in my class, then that's just how it has to be. So there. Hmm

I have and and and I'm still on my yellow brick road skipping along, pigtails flapping, wanging bumps with sausages as I pass.... ^^

Who will join me on the yellow positivity brick road? Tomorrow I will have brownies with crunchie bits in them! too busy to make them today

Ooh kitty the 2ww, yuck!

barking Ugh damn fb, I wish I could give it up! 4baby friend just posted pics of new baby, where did the days go when you shared your news with friends before the whole world?!?

Remind me what the HSG is? Hope it goes well!

It's where they pump you full of blue dye and then x-ray you to check the dye is managing to flow everywhere it should (ie no tubes are blocked). But if I have regard to the bold and underlined statement on the letter I got, I will not find out the results of the investigation on the day. But I will be asking to look at the screen while they do it....

Evening all, great day today. Oupr tea rooms won an award!!! We won a trip advisor 2013 certificate of excellence given to the top 10% of all businesses on trip advisor globally. So chuffed!!!

In TTC news, temp still above coverline today, now 7dpo AF due in a week so half way through 2ww...

I'm dashing in and out (carrying my own ROR with me) but just to send sympathy to those who need it and fleetingly suggest we all pile in scone's amazing shop for tea and cake... Let's go!

Nice one scone!

Let go of the ROR thunder, you know you want to come thwack bumps on my yellow brick positivity highway!!

If anyone needs a laugh, this just made me laugh lots. But I'm in a stupid mood tonight .

barking LOVE it!!! Particularly the bee sting one!!

SO funny barking! I love it
Ok you've persuaded me to come yellow brick bumpthwacking with you

Re getting pg and having a mc being reassuring in that it's possible, from my point of view it was to start with. But now I'm in a more disadvantaged and worse state than I started with and dealing with a horrible experience. So yes and no to that one. But I do feel lucky to have ever even had the bfp. How messed up is that!

No takers for the scone party idea then....
