Admin Wish-not very exciting but pays the bills!

Nokks that's hilarious. Bless him, there is a logic in there somewhere!

wishuponapositive · 02/06/2013 15:48

My job isn't very exciting either, I wipe snotty noses and scrape shit out of pants all day only to be screamed at half the time Smile

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 15:50

Haha, my job feels metaphorically similar some days!

buzzybee123 · 02/06/2013 16:26

nokkie i laughed out loud at that one, maybe time to get a cleaner in Wink

Nokkie73 · 02/06/2013 16:32

Too fecking right it's time to get a cleaner in. I mean, I love him dearly, but he is a colossal idiot sometimes. The worrying thing is, to him, it was perfectly logical to clean the floor with hand wash, despite the fact that there was a cupboard full of floor cleaning products. The mind of a man is something to behold at times.

How are you feeling today buzz ?

Still got a troublesome bottom rasp ? You need to get wish over Grin

buzzybee123 · 02/06/2013 16:52

well some of my symptoms have come back, I feel exhausted but put that down to stress and drugs, I feel like I have been pregnant forever but i'm barely 6 weeks Hmm its just like a nightmare right now, I've already put on so much weight but I'm too scared to stand on the scales,

Barry did used to wash the floor by hand until I introduced him to a mop, I don't let him iron, I just don't trust him with it Grin

wish I could say the same about my job sometimes Wink

EuroShaggleton · 02/06/2013 18:02

And your floor is required to be antibacterial why exactly, noks? It's probably best not to ask, eh?

rasp I hope you are feeling better?

buzz hurrah for return of symptoms. I think the exhaustion is pregnancy, my love, mixed in with exhausting stress levels. Don't worry about the weight at this point. You have too much else going on. Just do what you need to to get through the next few weeks.. c

I've had a lovely day. We are clearly middle aged now, as we went for a walk around some National Trust gardens. And then we visited the parentals and looked at their pretty fleurs.

wishuponapositive · 02/06/2013 18:44

You're all making me feel slight suicidal talking about lovely days out in the sun and summer holidays when I've been stuck in front of a computer all day!

Arses!

buzzybee123 · 02/06/2013 19:03

euro it could all be in my head, I'm really going to try and hang on until the Monday but my moods are so up and down right now We enjoy a good old natural trust property too Wink

wish shall I tip you over the edge with dinner made by Bazza and enjoyed out on the balcony Wink

wishuponapositive · 02/06/2013 19:16

Well Buzzy, you are just cruel looks for the razor

I've finished studying for the night so I am going to cook myself my tea, eat it sat in the mess my DP has created then soak in a baby oil bath.

Thats about as exciting as my life gets at the moment! Wink

Karbea · 02/06/2013 19:19

Hello!

Can I join? Day one for me today, had a blood test and scan and teaching sess today and will be injecting 450 of fostimon tonight, tomorrow I'm having a hysteroscopy and a cyst drained. I'm on the short protocol, so it'll all go very quickly!

Good luck everyone!

RaspberrySnowCone · 02/06/2013 19:19

Wish I haven't done much else than sit on the sofa and sulk so we haven't all been out and about! Feeling resolutely miserable at a wasted weekend in every respect!

What's occurring?

Fuck, have I missed my egg buddies. How are you all, darling girls? Thank you for being lovely (I've gone over the thread briefly but need to do a proper catch-up obvs). I have just got back literally half-an-hour ago from deepest darkest Hades Wales after a most surreal weekend. Th'usband 'whisked me away' in a tent to a place so far removed from civilisation I honestly expected to just drop off the end of the world at any minute. Did I tell you th'usband is a survival expert with a background in the SAS and a supreme knowledge of living off the land? No? That would be because he fucking is not. But that didn't stop him dragging us deep into a forest forty miles from anywhere. The next timme someone replies to a rhetorical question thus: 'Does a bear shit in't'woods?' I shall confidently reply: 'Dunno, but I fucking do' Hmm

My period was due Thursday and we left for Wales on Thursday night with no sign of the fucker. Friday came and went....no period. Can you imagine the headfuckery? No phone signal, no pregnancy test, no shop for (seriously) twenty miles (we had dumped the car fifteen miles from the forest and walked the rest of the way to camp as part of the 'experince'). When I say that, by Saturday morning with no sign of AF, we were excitedly discussing baby names I am not exaggerating. I hadn't had a pessary in seven days so knew it wasn't progesterone levels holding back my period. We were so, so excited: we were one of those pre-IVF ironidiffs! God had chosen to flip the bird at science and technology and all our prayers had been answered.

My period turned up at 11pm, almost 72 hrs late Sad I had no way of emailing the clinic to alert them and I didn't care. I couldn't believe the cruelty of it all, I was so, so fed-up. We packed up early this morning and hiked in silence to our car and as soon as we could I emailed the clinic. Thankfully it hasn't fucked-up the EC or ET dates; I've simply been sent an amended drug schedule and have one less Cetrotide to inject next week.

This episode has left me feeling pretty negative about our trip next week to Brno. The good stuff just doesn't happen to us and this weekend was so unbelievably typical of our luck that I am astonished that we were so taken in by the missing AF. Pathetic.

I really have missed you all. I will go back now and read your stories. Golly, I feel low Sad xxx

chocoloco1 · 02/06/2013 20:00

Welcome back karbea. We have karbea to thank for starting the original thread. Sounds like all systems go.

Feeling a bit guilty now as have done naff all housework today, just garden work - weeding beats hoovering any day!

buzzy is natural trust like national trust, but ruder? Wink

EuroShaggleton · 02/06/2013 20:04

Welcome back Karbea!

wish sorry for making you jealous. If it makes you feel any better, I spend Monday-Friday staring at a screen with my back to the window.

You're very close to EC, wifey! And then the active part of ttc is done. Then you just have to wait...

juicy that weekend sounds like my worst nightmare! I need an ensuite bathroom. I'm just built that way. You sound like you coped admirably! Sorry you missed out on the pre-IVF ironidiff, but you are heading for a real IVF diff - not long to go now. x

EuroShaggleton · 02/06/2013 20:05

Oh god, choc. Can you imagine a nudist version of the National Trust? Confused

chocoloco1 · 02/06/2013 20:16

Gah! Just written a post to you juicy and was about to send it and it's gone! My fault, went upstairs as I was doing it so DH would still think I was doing the job I was meant to be doing while he made the sarnies for tomorrow - and you thought the national trust made you sound middle aged, euro, fuck, I sound boringSmile. Aaargh, the wrinkles and lard would be horrendous at the nudist version. The childish jokes about bushes etc. would be worth it though.

juice give me half an hour of swearing at the printer, and I'll be back to try and cheer you up x

buzzybee123 · 02/06/2013 20:32

oooh expat its all systems go for you :)

karbea Welcome back I think I have seen your name on other threads

juicy tears are running down my face Grin I have missed you, my husband has asked if I have asked you if your husband has been to Crewe to look at trains Hmm

Don't worry about late AF's mine came 5 days early, they are used to this, once they have you on the protocol all will fall into place, so chin up chook, its hard when t plays with your mind shakes fist and bingo wings at the universe and shouts feck off if your're not going to help Clearly my mental state is questionable right now

choco I'm still scarred by the nudist beach in Brno Hmm

chocoloco1 · 02/06/2013 20:41

Right, joos, I've fucked the printer out of the window. Right, where was I? So glad you're back. We missed you you old trout Smile Sorry to hear you're feeling crap, period hormones are never going to help with that though, eh? You've been through a lot, you're owed some good luck now and we will all be rooting for you. Crap about AF too, I'd have got my hopes up too, it's natural and normal me old mucker. Camping and periods don't mix either! DH has recently forgotten how much we he hates camping and we have 2 trips planned in the next 6 weeks Confused

twinklestar2 · 02/06/2013 20:48

Welcome karbea! Have seen your name around these boards, hope you're not on here much longer :)

Yay juicys back!! Sorry about af :( I've done that too: got excited, thought of baby names and how I'm going to announce my pregnancy and then the old bitch arrives to shatter all my dreams. You're so close now, don't give up hope.

Ive been googling and freaking myself out. Why do we do it hey?

Karbea · 02/06/2013 20:56

Juicy mine was 3 days late this month, I even let myself after all these months think omg we've actually done it, but no!

mejust · 02/06/2013 22:19

hey juicy your back was wondering how you were,well iv been to wales a few times but never stuck in the middle of a forest.

hello rasp and karb and everyone else.

I see you have all had a cleaning day or rather the hubbys have.

Fabuluce · 02/06/2013 22:22

Hello all - somewhat late to this game but I'm due to start my second round of ivf in July and could do with the support of people who really know what we're all going through this time. Think I may be allergic to the baby dust bollox tho - can I come play with you ladies?

EuroShaggleton · 02/06/2013 22:36

You'll find no baby dust in these parts fab. Would you like to share a potted ttc history by way of introduction (no pressure if you would prefer to ease yourself in first!).
