Coming along nicely ta! Slight thermal shift up again today and tingly nipples are adding fuel to the fire

I take it you've been POAFing norf?

frank when's OTD again? Same day as hest's, isn't it? Fingers and toes crossed for you both.

I am on my days off now after a physically and (especially) emotionally draining set of shifts. First appointment with hospital fertility clinic this afternoon. I don't want to go. Also I have nothing in for dinner, nothing at all, and the idea of going to tesco is a bit traumatising.

twink I felt the same. AC is shyte.

frank nice menkulling!

norfy wouldn't adding progesterone just delay your period? (Assuming you are not diffed.)

I'm very much hoping no one in my office is particularly nosy as I've had to bring my drucks to work. Our fridge decided to go on the blink at the weekend. We have a new one coming tomorrow, but to keep them cold in the meantime I have brought them to work and popped them in the fridge there.

euro anywhere I've ever worked you'd be ok. People just shove stuff in where they can find a gap, forget about it and leave it for it to be discovered on the annual clean out. Shit one about your fridge.

Hope the appt goes ok Twinks.

OTD is 28th - next Friday. Like you say, same as Hest

In other news, I have collected my Ascot hat for Thursday - tis huge! I'll put a pic up later.

Did I say we have booked hollibobs?

I'm v excited. We are off to Tuscany in a few weeks. The only thing is that the place we are staying in is pretty rural, so I will be driving. I've managed in Crete, Malta and France, so Italian drivers won't see so bad, right?

Gah! Just wrote a log post that got eaten. The headlines were:

Yay for big hats, frank!
Hope appt goes well, twink
Have a fab time in Tuscany, euro. Just drive down the middle of the road and never check your mirrors - you'll fit right in! And make sure you eat some mozzarella when you're there - so much better than the ones you can buy here. Mmmmm....
Well done everyone else for various running, stabbing and sechsing.

Fizzy- you summed everything up so nicely. That's almost exactly what I would've said.

Euro-that sounds fab. I'd say be prepared for a loose hand on the steering wheel and remember no one stops at traffic lights or crossings. At all.

Speakjnv of which GS and I came home from the pub last night and he egged me on to book a hol in Italy to visit my friend in August. Now suddenly I'm going and crapping myself about my non- never seen daylight bikini body! Better get running and not eating toast by the bucketload as I did today.

bear that's the downside with this timing - I don't feel like I should diet during an IVF cycle as I am putting my body through quite a lot. But I am three quarters of a stone over my fighting weight and look flabby in a bikini. Oh well. It's for the greater good. If this cycle fails I am going on a crash diet before we go away

I had an Italian bf for 2 years back in the day. I will have to try to recall his driving style - create extra lanes where none exist at will, undertake/overtake artistically, take both hands off the steering wheel when swearing at fellow drivers in order to gesticulate wildly... It seems to be coming back to me!

fizzy mozza is off the menu for me, unfortunately. I'm dairy intolerant. :( Still, I'm sure I'll find lots of other treats.

Appointment was fine, hsg next cycle but she's not repeating the bloods, to my surprise. Clomid in 3 months if all ok with the hsg. Lots of kindness and reassuring words.

euro don't be too polite on the roads and you'll be fine. bear I strongly suspect you look absolutely fine. Jealous of both your hols even though I'm barely back from mine.

frank the waiting room had a copy of Country Life and they had a whole millinery section, I thought of you! Looking forward to seeing a picture of Hatosaurus.

Also if I ever win several million I saw many nice houses in Country Life that NEED me living in them. HWCA said we would get pigs and attack geese. He is also all cos the consultant said his sperm was "excellent." Teachers pet.

@ all the luffly holidays

Twink, glad the appt went ok. Did the reassuring words help?

I've uploaded a pic of the (now christened) Hatosaurus on my profile. Tried to load two but the site went a bit funny on me

Oh Lordy! Yes Euro. You have it spot on about the almost driving. It's like that in Birmingham too. (Lived there for many years and visit regularly.)

Lovely hat Frank! Is that you or a hat model?

Oh no Twink- thanks for the encouragement but I really am two stone overweight. I'm quite solid in that I go to the gym about 5 times a week but I'm a size 12 which I know doesn't sound big at all but I am tres small so I look baaaad. I've always been this way though so I've never worn a bikini ever.

I'm sure like you said Euro that your body is going through enough ATM. Three quarters of a stone isn't much so you could either quickly do something or I'm sure you'd look great anyway.

Twink- glad your appointment seemed to go well. Are you happy with what they said? Good on the super sperm too.

That'll be me Bear, you smooth talker you

Ah, you do look lovely Frank!

Love Hatosorus Frank - you look fab

AMAZING hat Frankle. You will be turning some heads in that! I luff it.

Twink - by "attack geese" do you mean you really hate geese and will spend your time in rural idyll chasing them with sticks? Or are attack geese some kind if a thing, like guard dogs? Either way, my very brief trip to the countryside this weekend will now be filled with geese-based low level anxiety..

moll Geese are mean birds who honk and hiss and chase people. Attack Geese would be there to guard the estate, and produce eggs. Yum.

frank the hat is fabulous. The reassuring words were actually reassuring, surprisingly.

I want a holiday. Waaaaaah. We haven't been on holiday for years.

Me too. I've had time off and stuff, but not been away anywhere for a change of scene.

How long till our menkullers test? Anyone?

I know we went to New York last month, but I'd really like a holiday where we relax and do nothing - haven't had one of the since our honeymoon 5 years ago

OTD next Friday Norf.

I'm the 28th. Am not menkulling.

Quiet today. Am having to work! Please someone post something about their pant snot, or prawns or something to distract me.

Heaven forbid you should have to work!!

Er, I think I am imagining ovulation, not quite pain but an odd 'fluttering' feeling around my left ovary area.

We are having a nice lazy day. HWCA is watching Zero Dark Thirty, and is pencilled in for a shag later.

I am droiding do I can't provide any distraction. Sorry Norf. I did however, cycle 21k on the bike at the gym last night. I managed it in 38 minutes too. Well chuffed with my small self. So of course I deserve a choccie bar today!

How efficient :) I hope he is preparing effectively to deliver with personal impact
