Fuck-a-duck men are actually more hormonal than women. FACT. MATV is banging around the house swearing at inanimate objects and mumbling under his breath yet when I ask what's wrong I just get 'nothing'. Grrrrrrr

Norf how confusing.

All I've done today is eat chocolate and biscuits. Halo is definitely looking manky!

Frank - I get ov blood most cycles and it's always bright red not brown but varies in form. Sometimes it's just pink pant snot, others it's flecks and sometimes drops. Ive also had confirmed anovulatory bleeding mid-cycle too but I don't think that would be the case with you. That was a lot of blood! I cried a lot when it happened. Hasn't happened so severely since though. I agree with the other BESHes - sounds like ov related to me.

I slogged it out at the Jim tonight too Euro. I sweated so much that all my mascara I'd forgotten to take off slid down my face with a lovely Alice Cooper effect. Nice.

BE gets my pmt every month without fail. It's eerie. Unless he's away on work, then my best friends get it. Basically if you hang out with me in the second half if my cycle, you get my pmt.

I'm thinking sticky thoughts for you Hest and frank..

Bloody hell. Normally I don't remember my dreams, and I'd like for this to remain the case. I woke up today after dreaming that HOTB and I had adopted two little girls (and a dog), and I'd had to be dildocammed up the arse (in a car park) before we were allowed to take them, and then I had to take the eldest for a post-rape vaginal exam (distressing for all). My head is royally fucked up this morning. Nothing like tears before breakfast to set you up for the day

Bloody hell draf that sounds distressing! And all before you have even got out of bed. I guess it is just your brain working through stuff.

I guess so, euro. HOTB cuddles helped, anyway, as did another hour of sleep.

Now droid has turned up with a vengeance, too, so I guess the downregging zoladex thing is working. Hurrah.

Oh my God, draf. That sounds really unsettling. The horrible thing is that I can actually sort of see how it all relates to the impotence/exposure/violation aspects of ttc.

Pointless morning at work - total system failure so no one can get into anything. I had lunch at 11am out of boredom. Oddly enough we didn't use the time productively by clearing out crap old print outs or anything. We all just sat around berating IT and eating biscuits.

Weird, innit, norf? I thought I was rather stoic and resilient, but clearly my subconscious is more affected by all this shit than I had realised.

Biscuits and complaining are the best responses to power cuts, definitely. Have another hobnob.

God that's really horrible :(. Are you ok now?

draf that's horrible :( Glad you had cuddles. Stupid subconscious brain - just spit it out brain!

norf last time we had a power cut we all went to the cafe across the road.

My ovarian cyst has gone - good. I put on 3 pounds on holiday and when I got back - bad. Absolutely shagged after circuit training and need to go shower and do my hair before work.

Tea and toast and cuddles cure all ills, yes :)

In other news, the Dutch for cuddles is "knuffels" - how cute a word is that?

Oh I love some German and Dutch words. My favourite German word is "schmetterling" for butterfly.

I'm so tired

My favourite is 'strumpfhosen'.

evilg that does sound horrid. Hope tonight's dream is a better one. Fecking hormones, eh? When I was up the duff I had some seriously weird and vivid dreams.

hester I prescribe tea and toast and plenty of rest for you, too.

norf any sign of your droid yet? Tis nice to have a double ectopic buddy. You're right about the headfuck. At the moment I'm trying to process the idea that I will never be one of those FCFU miracle stories you hear about. There is genuinely no 'relax and it'll happen' option here.

Nope, fizz. My gusset remains pristine.

One good thing is that it removes the pressure to shag when you don't feel like it. Though I also sort of feel something is lost from shagging when I do, as well.

How are your physical wounds healing?

Yes, that's a good point. Also - won't have to worry so much about another ectopic (though could still have a non-tubal one, it's much less likely). And won't have to worry about whether GFBW gets the snip in future! (have been reading too much online about women choosing sterilisation). Silver linings, ho hum.

Physically I'm recovering quite well. It was keyhole, but one of the cuts is quite big. My poor stomach is quite pockmarked now after 3 laps! Looking forward to resuming shagging after these scratchy stitches are out.

fizz look at the positive - you can resume sff without feeling the futility of f**king.

German has some really great words, but it is a marvellously uncreative language:

"oh look, someone from the black forest region has invented a cherry cake. What shall we call it? How about blackforestcherrycake? Yes, that's just the ticket."

Ah ja. When you have diarrhoea, the shit just falls straight through you. What shall we call it? I know! Durchfall!

I love the way they bung a load of nouns together to make a new one, which takes up about half a line on the page.

Der Wiedervereinugung zum Beispiel.

(There are many other, better examples)

e.g. Schwarzwalderkirschtorte.

norf gerat minds... I hadn't seen your post when I wrote mine.

Yep - exactly, hest.

Bizarrely, Schwarzwaldekirschtorte was one of the first German words I learned and one of the few that has stuck.

My Belgian friend is (very) slowly expanding my Dutch vocabulary. So far I know three words I never did German at school, though, so it's largely a mystery. I can't help but feel affectionate towards it, though, there's something rather endearing about such a literal language :)

Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung - guess what that means.
