I've just deleted the pregnancy app from my phone. I had just moved it to the last page so I didn't have to scan past it but could hopefully use it again one day. This morning it decided (for the first time) to put an alert up on my screen telling me that I am 19 weeks pregnant. Helpful.

FriendofDorothy · 30/05/2013 22:47

I'm here now and then.. so quick intro.

I am FriendofDorothy - TTC for 20 months and then got lucky after an HSG and one round of Clomid. The Little Mister is 5 1/2 months and currently snoring.

I have to admit that we are trying for number 2 straight away as I am 37 now and don't want to wait. I know it might not take so long this time but I can't shake the thought that it probably will.

I pop in now and then, and I recently had the pleasure of having a whole thread named after me (one slagging me off that is) for being honest to some idiot about her asking whether she was pregnant 6 weeks after coming off her injections.

RaspberrySnowCone · 30/05/2013 22:53

Don't take it personally Dot, for some reason the veil of t'internet seems to be reason enough for some people to act like complete twats

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/05/2013 23:04

dot did I miss that or were you the person who told someone to piss on their keyboard? Wink
Wanking bastarding app Euro, it deserved deletion and more. I was pleased FF clearly took the hint after my last IC when I told it I had got AF.

HesterShaw · 30/05/2013 23:23

Ah. Pissing on the keyboard? I do believe that was the straight talking DolomitesDonkey :)

Bearfacedchic · 30/05/2013 23:54

Wow thanks for your stories everyone. I do feel rather welcomed into the BESH bosom. It's good to hear that some of you have had success too.

That's big shitey bollocks Euro. I'd probably have destroyed my phone at that.

Rasp - I regularly get the dooms about all this and whoever said waves is spot on. I can bumble along fine for weeks and then suddenly there'll be one too many surprise instadiffer announcement on Faceache or some bellend will ask me yet again and I'll crumple. Good thing is though, it's happened so often now that I know I'll get over it until the next time. Worst was when my close friend was breast feeding her bubba and asked me about it all at which I burst into tears and her toddler waddled over to comfort me which just made it so much worse! I'm better at being on alert for it now though. Hope you feel better tomorrow, Rasp.

Dot - there's some weirdos and losers out there in cyber space. I inadvertently found myself in an argument with a Feisty Mutha re: copyright law of all things over a writing competition. I was only trying to be helpful and she turned on me something rotten. Silly moo. So I did the sensible thing and did a runner!

Bearfacedchic · 30/05/2013 23:59

Btw congrats Jeff and Dot. And also Faith. Smile

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 31/05/2013 08:16

Morning BESH, been for another run this morning

Dor, I don't blame you for considering cracking on with #2. I must admit I've thought the same .

TFI it's Friday everyone

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 31/05/2013 08:17

Blush Blush Blush

Didn't need that extra "its", never mind the bloody apostrophe

TFI Friday

evilgiraffe · 31/05/2013 08:50

Aww, I want gin, but no dice with the painkillers

Sleeping in two-hour stretches is not ideal. I have to wake up to roll over. Still, wounds look okay, so that's alright. They'll heal up eventually...

It makes me even less keen on caesareans, though (hah, planning ahead Hmm ) - this is pretty minor surgery but is a pain in the arse to deal with. I can't imagine having a more major operation and then a newborn to look after too.

EuroShaggleton · 31/05/2013 09:55

Dor when preggo I told KFZK he should start cracking on with #2 in the delivery suite. Grin

draf you are sounding very stoic. I'm with you on CS - it's certainly not the easy option some make it out to be.

Well done on the run frank.

Bearfacedchic · 31/05/2013 17:49

Currently sitting in the boot of our car waiting for GS to come back from cycling. But have my iPhone and it's sunny so I'm content. Smile

Bearfacedchic · 31/05/2013 17:50

Btw boot is open and I've been in the front all day so thought it would make a nice airy change. Dogs die in hot cars y'know. Bears too.

evilgiraffe · 31/05/2013 18:02

It's a lovely sunny day here too, Bear. I wish I was up to going out on my bike! HOTB just went on a quick ride to get milk - I really feel for him as he'd be out on a 30-mile enjoying the sunshine ride if he wasn't at home supervising me. Oh well, I'll heal up eventually and then we can ride again :)

Btw, I've already forgotten what GS stands for, so he is now, in my head, Gin Sling Grin

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 31/05/2013 18:21

Lovely sunny evening here too. Have some cute to go with the weather

Hest do you have actuall Droid to go with the pain?

Bugs nothing better than a sunny evening & some cider. Mmmmmm.

I'm really well thanks Euro. I've been incredibly lucky, no barfing, feel great, got a little bump going on now too. Still in denial about An Actual Baby but am trying to plan a bit more now.

Bear I managed to shut myself in the boot a couple of months ago whilst at a dog class. 30 minutes & some Houdini moves later I was out again. With a face like this ---> Blush

HesterShaw · 31/05/2013 21:33

Oh yes, Rivers of Gore TMI

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 31/05/2013 22:06

Arf @ locking yourself in the boot Jeff Grin Sorry Poor you

Sorry for droid Hest. Where does that put you in terms of your drucks and the next cycle?

RaspberrySnowCone · 31/05/2013 22:53

Sympathy Hest, droids majorly suck. Rivers of gore I can definitely relate to!

Good work on getting stuck Jeff, impressive!

Evil, take it easy!! No bike rides! You'll heal much quicker if you rest up proper now my dear.

Very cute sloth frank I love Emergency Cute Puppy, tis the best thing on twatter.

EuroShaggleton · 31/05/2013 23:40

Erm, I've had wine so this might not be very good bugs but I'll give it a go.

The theory is that NK cells if overactive can reject an embryo. An embryo is 50% your DNA, 50% foreign material, so if they go into overdrive, they don't allow an embryo to implant, treating it like a cell mutation (which your system should reject to stop it turning into something like a tumour), instead of an embryo.

Certain treatments and supplements can help supress/bring into balance the immune system. Main supplements are omega 3/6/9 and vit D3. Main drucks are prednisolne (a steroid), hydroxy-somethingorother (a malarial drug), intralipids (a drip) and other things like Humira that I don't know much about. The object of them all is to balance your immune system.

The big question mark is that a lot of drs doubt that testing the levels of NK cells in the blood tells you anything about the status of NK cells in the womb. Also, NK cells do useful things like fend of cancer mutations, so is it wise to mess with them?

I gave it all a go for 6 months, didn't get diffed, did get a dodgy smear, so I am a lot less convinced of the wisdom of fucking around with the immune system than I used to be. When I first heard about it, I thought I had explained our unexplainedness, now I am not so sure.

I'll lend you my copy of the dr beer book which puts it in rather more technical terms if you promise to send it back when you are done! PM me if you want it.

So I went to the pub for a quick one at 5.30 and have only just got in. Oopsie.

Bearfacedchic · 31/05/2013 23:51

Har har Draf - Gin Sling! It's for Gruffalo Soldier. I can't remember anyone else's either apart from MATV for obvious reasons but I will get out my revision notes and try to learn them forthwith.

Grrrr about droid Hester.

Grin at locking self in the boot Jeffro. (when I first typed this predictive text gave me 'licking'!!! How filthy! Grin)

CaptainMoll · 01/06/2013 08:57

I am snorting a bit at jeff in the boot..
Hest, sorry about the ROG. (Rivers of gore).
I got up early and went for a run. Now I feel intolerably smug.
Off to work for the rest of the day though..

Today BE's briefly back from working away, so I think we'll have the Big Chat about him sorting his menkuls out.
