Sorry if I've missed you

Fantastic thread bunny! Not sure if I should be climbing aboard now or waiting but here I am.

I have brought the PoP and a bag of yellow bricks.

woot I caught the shuttle!

Nice new thread bunny, I like what you've done with the place!

Hello again all (I pop in and out!) - when you say special pot, do you mean a special pot to piss in for cheap OPKs and fruitless pregnancy test BFPs?
If so I fit the criteria!
Brodicea - 32 ttc since September 2012, no tests done yet but a history of shonky reproductive health.

That's right brodi, although I just use disposable cups! Well hello to our newest member!

bunny good job!

As if I need encouragement with poas! Bought 25 hpts a while back for £3.50. Got an email saying the company would like to send me another 10 for giving feedback!!!

Nice new thread Bunnie, FX for a lucky one. Had an enormous Cornish cream tea about 2 and a half hours ago and still feel pretty full/sick. It was pretty awesome though. How was dildocam Barking?

Hycosy all done. Took her hours of faffing about with three different speculums to find my cervix - if she can't find it how will those poor sperm ever manage?! First comment 'oh, polycystic ovaries'! Tubes both fine though, goody . Just got to wait to see consultant now then hopefully sweeties and resultant bfp!! Fingers crossed!

How did your dildocam/consultant appt go barking?

Hello again brodicea! Nice to have you back with us!

Evening all. Just marking my spot on lovely new thread - thanks Bunny
Glad to hear your getting some answers Boom. Hope Barking's appt went well too. Just been out for early dinner with he girls from work. Off for a much needed power hour then I'll need to hit the gym after the amount I've just eaten.

boom at least you've got a diagnosis now so you've so something to work on.

Tmi but dying for a wee but banished from upstairs as dh on a phone interview! Can you believe this is his 5th interview for the same job!!! 6 if you include one where they aborted mission as the video-conferencing didn't work!

whilst legs crossed as still need a wee

Ok, so I read Bunny's instructions:
When this thread is full please form an orderly queue and board the shuttle.

So I did as I was told and carried on posting on the old thread. Only you lot had thrown the instructions out the window and waltzed over to this thread without me!! Leaving me there talking to myself again!!

Well just to serve you all right I'll copy my posts into here so you have to stumble over it all anyway .

Bunny I'm the same as boom I count the first sign of anything. I am sometimes ridiculously light all the way though so I could otherwise be recording 5 days of spotting, perhaps one day of nothing in the middle of it, and never AF, so I'd never start a new cycle!!

This cycle I am ignoring everything. I am not temping or pimping as I have no idea whether we'll be dtd again by shag week, the vit b6 appears to be having no effect all on my LP so that's still too short for anything to implant, and if I do get clomid tomorrow it'll be the evening of CD3 and probably too late to start taking it. So that's me out before I've started. How depressing.

Boom how was the hsg?

Gill thanks for the reassurance re my appointment tomorrow and sorry AF got you too .

And yes, I know Boom has already answered my question but I didn't know that as I was in the other thread all by myself and no-one was talking to me as you'd all left me.

happy boom and kitty I'll update tomorrow when I've had the appointments!!!

Hellooo. I'm here, I found the shuttle just before it left.
Just marking my place, back soon.

Bwahaha sorry barking didn't mean to switch the lights off on you! Here, have some of my cake, I'm rewarding myself for putting up with an hour of fanny furtling today, you're allowed some since you've got to have it tomorrow - jumped the gun a bit there, thought it was today!

kitty technically I don't have a diagnosis yet as doctors have to confirm it, but if they don't agree with me this time there will be hell to pay so I'm going to assume I'm getting diagnosed come July! GIMME SWEETIES!

Have you managed to have a wee yet? If not does it help at all if I mention running taps, waterfalls and fountains?

Hi tally!

Cake? Oo, Ta very much Boom you're forgiven .

Evening Berries! Good to see a new thread with added Gluckschemtz

No relevant news today so going off slightly topic; I've had a really annoying day at work but currently resigning myself that I probably need to stay. It's no doubt been a topic on here before; I wanted to leave last year, but decided to stay on as we were going to buy a house and TTC; but 6 months down the line, no maternity leave required and same old sh*t at work. Anybody else in this limbo or have any of you decided to move jobs anyway?

boom glad you survived and had no negative reactions, FX for some helpful feedback from your GP.

yes kuma I am in the same situation. work is crap and getting crappier, and I'm on pretty much minimum wage, but the thought that I will be able to get maternity pay (and sick pay as I'll almost definitely be hospitalised with hg for much of my preg) keeps me going for the moment. the people I work with are lovely but management is ridiculous and my job is being changed out of recognition right under my nose. plus, I'm worth more than this but can't work out how to improve things.

By the way, the literal translation of Gluckschmertz is luck pain... I love the German straightforwardness.

New people are just going to think we're mental you know, with the lingo and bizarre stories

I don't actually know where 'the elderberry pavlovas' came from! Does anyone else? Or have the people who first made it up all graduated?

I presume 'elderberries' comes from all of us being golden oldies! But no idea about the pavlovas....anyone?

Off for an evening stroll in the sunshine with BoomDog. Think I got off very lightly with the hycosy, was expecting cramping and bleeding but actually I've had nothing and feel fine not that it's stopped me from pretending to be poorly and demanding that DH cooks dinner bwahaha

EVENING berries!!!!!!! Sorry I'm late, had to catch a later shuttle, I did bring macaroons though Hope you like the new decor!

Bad berries not following the rules and filling up the old thread first, hands out so I can slap your knuckles with a string of sausages

Hey brodi welcome back!

Ooh boom glad it went well today, and fanny furtling has to be one of the funniest phrases ever

Nowt new here today, CD1 or 2 I guess! DH will be pot jizzing tomorrow!

And elderberry pavlova comes from the term elderly primigravida which is a term for older mums, somebody thought it sounded like a pudding and the elderberries were born

medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/elderly+primigravida

boom tbf I think I milked the sympathy from dh post Hsg! You keep your feet up!

bunny omg I'm MASSIVELY impressed with your mn knowledge! Seeing as you know everything, where did the term 'instadiffer' come from?

sid ff is soooo addictive! I always thought charting was for those really obsessed people because I'm really not one of those people

by the way, I have just found monty python and the holy grail on Netflix.... Yay!

and I count the first day of any discharge as cd1, which usually hands around for about 4 days then turns into annoying yucky shooting for another 1-2.
