Good luck with the chat Moll. What are menkuls again?

Northey · 01/06/2013 10:17

Arf at jeff in the boot. And :( at hester's ROG.

I am also in half an idle menkul (not a full one, because as we know I CBATM). I have weird womble sensations and had some weird sort of pre droid tinty thing that never went anywhere. I also have moments of feeling sick, but that could be work-related anxiety. And my buzzwams are resolutely normal. I am on CD41, I think. But last cycle was 50 days, so probably I was just ovulating. Written down it doesn't actually seem like anything, actually.

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/06/2013 10:57

Paper work and instructions have arrived at long last!!! Sod's law though depending on droid and other such wonders it looks like it'll clash with hols. MATV not impressed but we'll see how it goes. Now just to have a stress free month so I don't have another 45 day cycle :/

Good luck with the chat, hope its productive.

Right, off to clean my pit of a house then sit in the garden writing an assignment

EuroShaggleton · 01/06/2013 11:14

Hurrah rasp. Finally! How irritating that it might clash with your hols.

Norf enjoy your non-menkulling.

Sorry about the ROG, hest

By the rivers of gore
Where BESH sat down
Yea we wept
When we remembered we were barren...

Etc.

Nokkie73 · 01/06/2013 12:33

hest you is well funny innit. My personal Boney-M favourite is 'Rasputin'. 'Ra-ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen'. Utterly random and shite, all at the same time.

I am sorry you are having a shit time. Droids suck big smelly cockage.

norf I hope the menkulling is a sign of something good in the tum tum.

moll besht of luck with the talk. I had to have one of those a couple of years ago and it did make things much better. CASAF had similar ishoos and he has worked really hard to make them better. He can still be a cuntsac on the odd occasion (never to me) but the convo is worth having.

bear hello. Your car story was brilliant by the way. I am Noks, ttc for four and a half years. MC in July 2009, then a period of fucking shit barrenity which nearly sent me mad. Had ivf earlier this year. I graduated from ivf school on 30th March 2013 with a big fat old fail and an AMH of 1.1. Booked in for a hysteroscopy on 7th May 2013 and to my complete and utter shock, I found out that i was diffed 20 minutes before surgery. I had no idea as I had what I thought were two periods a week apart, a couple of weeks beforehand. Am now 9+6 or thereabouts and very scared most of the time, but realise how lucky I am. That is technically known as a FCFU. Fertility Clinic Fuck You.

Hello to everyone else. How are the BESH walking wounded ?

'lo all. HOTB and I ventured Out Of Doors today Shock I sat in the "less mobility" seat on the park and ride bus and everyfink; I don't think anyone judged me. I look like a right creaky old crock trying to stand up and sit down, anyway, which will probably have helped. Wounds slowly healing, and I didn't need extra painkillers in the middle of the night last night, so we're slowly getting back to normal. Having a shower and washing my hair has helped too - all a bit scary but SO NICE to be clean.

I also have to ring the GP surgery to arrange going in to get a zoladex injection. Anyone got any ideas/experience? We haven't had our date yet for clinic appt, so haven't had it explained. Googling suggests that it is both an endo treatment and an IVF downregging drug - but obv I don't know what the primary function will be for me (or how long I'll be on it) until we see the consultant again.

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/06/2013 16:21

Glad your feeling a bit perkier each day that goes by Evil. I still prescribe lots of sympathy and treats as being the best for recovery :) I don't know anything about Zoldex I'm afraid.

I've just read on another thread that I might have to put things up my bum during IVF? Is this correct? I've also been menkulling about what I need to do to be in best condition ie I know we need to get on the vitamins (MATV is not going to be impressed at that) and give up caffeine/booze (again, unimpressed face from MATV) but is there anything else? Probably should drink more water too. Def dont drink enough at the moment. I also need to eat more but keep it healthy I think? What did everyone else do? Am I over thinking this?

EuroShaggleton · 01/06/2013 18:51

I'm glad you got out draf. Did you have to elbow any old ladies out of the way to get that seat? Wink I don't know anything about that druck either, sorry.

rasp the progesterone that most clinics use is called cyclogest. It comes in bullets that can go up the fanjo or up the bum. Some clinics say bum, to avoid irritating the cervix, others say fanjo for better absorption. Mine gave no advice, so I used the front door for every day use and the back door if I was having a scan or hoping to get lucky. My clinic also uses two suppositories at egg collection - one pain killer and one antibiotic. I declined consent - frankly I'd been through enough loss of dignity without having things shoved up my jacksie while I was unconscious. I said I would put them in myself afterwards and then didn't because I don't like unnecessary drucks and they clearly were unnecessary as I got no pain or infection .

As for healthiness, everyone finds their own way. I am pretty healthy anyway, so just tried to maintain diet and exercise as before. I reduced the booze to one or two glasses a week, but didn't cut it entirely - I think the odd hour down the pub after work helped me stay sane. I didn't drink at all once I was a few days passed ET and at the point where bean would have implanted. I chose to stop drinking coffee. I only have one a day, in the morning, which is within safe levels, but I would have stopped it if diffed (as I was) and I always get the most awful caffeine withdrawal headaches, so I wanted to get past those when I could take drugs without worrying about. During stimming some women are told to up protein and water intake. I wasn't stimming so I just carried on as normal.

hest you're one funny hag. How are you feeling?

noks how are you? I've been baking. Not boob-shaped stuff though.

I'm just a few days into the 2ww, so there's nothing to see here. I do have some family drama going on though. My nan had a fall, spent the night on the floor and is now in hospital awaiting a hip op. She called my mum and told her about the fall and said the paramedics had been and she was fine. Didn't tell her about the op and hospital! My mum found out when a neighbour called to make her feel guilty about not visiting. Er, there's not much we can do if the stubborn old bat doesn't tell us what is going on. Earlier this year we were trying to get her to move down here (she lives 150 miles away), at our expense, so we could be on hand if something like this happened, and she declined. Grrr. The whole relationship between her and my mum has always been frosty (childhood shyte that I don't fully understand) and we haven't seen her in 3 years because she refused to come to my wedding, for no clear reason at all, and things have been difficult ever since. It doesn't help that my parents are about to go off on a holiday they have been looking forward to for bloody ages. I think they should probably go up there before they go away, but it's an 8 hr round trip in horrible traffic for an hour or so hospital visiting. I should probably also go, but I've never visited without my parents (because it's so far, we usually make a day of it together) and I just don't really know the woman. My grandparents moved from just around the corner to 150 miles away when I was a toddler, so I only ever saw them a couple of times a year. Meh.

By the way, congrats rasp on the paperwork from incompetent donut munchers. I did exactly the same as euro did. Cut right down on the wine but not out completely - you have to do what's right for you but I saw no need to totally ban booze. Drank loads of water and lots of protein while stimming. Took pregnacare and ate loads of Brazil nuts. Tbh, I really think that if the bean wants to stick, it will, and the odd glass of wine or curry won't make a shite of difference.

raff blimey you have been through it. I am glad you're starting to feel a bit better.

euro sorry to hear about your nan. Sounds as though all the family drama couldn't have come at a worse time though. I am ok - just got back from Kew Gardens. If I win the pools, I want to live there. The cakes went down well, even the ones shaped like tits, which is always nice.

bugs you sound like a domestic goddess. That is seriously impressive.

Noks xx

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/06/2013 19:45

Thanks Euro/Bugs/Nokkie
I'm pretty healthy generally so when we know what's going on I'll cut out the rest of the crap too, I know it will make me feel a bit better if I'm 100% good, more of a control thing for me?

Sorry to hear about family drama euro, we could be related cuz my lot certainly know how to do drama. Old people can be really mean too and put unnecessary amounts of guilty people's way for no real reason. x

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 13:18

Blimey I killed the thread!

I've decided to go dairy free for 30 days. I've had a tummy bug all week and last night was like a horrific culmination of the weeks gastro instability. I get plenty of calcium/protein anyway but I've been consuming mucho dairy lately and it's surprising how quickly bad habits creep up!

Where is everyone? I'm all lonely and pathetic today sat on the sofa, I need someone to talk to!

Northey · 02/06/2013 13:25

I am chugging home from holiday (not a single shag in a whole week off work!), reading historical fiction and surreptitiously fingering what feels like a horrid chin hair. I wasted a fiver on some non-diffed wee.

Northey · 02/06/2013 13:26

Too much dairy makes me a bit... unusual... as well, rasp.

Nokkie73 · 02/06/2013 13:30

rasp really ? You may need some dairy if starting ai-vee-eff. Can't you cut down a bit or has it done disconcerting things to your bumhole body ?

Sorry that the POTOQF wasn't successful norf. X

evilgiraffe · 02/06/2013 13:37

Gorgeous sunny day here, I'm in the garden reading. HOTB has gone on a quest for chocolate biscuits and ice cream Grin

Dairy doesn't really bother me, unless it's cream. Milk and ice cream and cheese are fine, but cream causes gastric revolt

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 14:03

I'm really not too sure if I'm intolerant. Having a month off wont do any harm I don't think. I'll make sure I speak to the clinic about it when we get there and I might be reintroducing by that point anyway with it only being a 30 day ban. I just feel the need to decide on something productive because I feel so poopy (s'cuse the pun) today!

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 17:07

Frank I hope you are watching all the queens horses. Claire balding just watched a foal being born and said, I quote 'are you not constantly amazed that something's that's so large can come out of such a small hole'. Oh how I tittered. :)

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 02/06/2013 17:13

I watched it when it was on at week. I know Annalise and Joe that work at the stud Grin

If you watch carefully a bit after on, you'll see me standing in the paddock at Newbury as Hayley Turner (the jockey) walks across to mount the Queen's horse. I'm in the background wearing a mac Grin

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 02/06/2013 17:18

I luff Monty Roberts. The man is a genius.

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 17:19

How exciting! I might have missed you, I'm sort of half watching and went off to make a salad. Currently talking about a man who talks to horses rather than frightens then for training.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 02/06/2013 17:32

That's Monty! I've not been on yet, I'll be on shortly though as they've just switched to Newbury.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 02/06/2013 17:34

There I am!
