Never got into monty python. It's all about breaking bad for me (now that we've watched all of game if thrones 
. Although I actually had a dream that I was a meth cook the other day so maybe I'm watching too much of it!

Yep have indeed been on all 11 threads too Bunny. Depressingly one for each cycle I've been TTC . The rules must have been pretty lax at the start though as I joined the thread as soon as I started TTC and pretty sure some of the original Berries were instadiffers!

ditto on the baby shower. I've only been to 1 and even ignoring the fact it was so hard for me, it wasn't my cuppa. silly games like eating chocolate out of a nappy and wearing dummies round our necks. if it wasn't ny sil I'd have declined.
the hg is hyperemesis gravidarum. translated means hyper sickness in pregnancy. it's like morning sickness x 1000. It starts at 6 weeks and by 7 I'm dehydrated enough to need a drip for 2 days min. it's easier to cope with if you know it's coming and start the meds early but the first time I was in for about 2 weeks before I even reached 9 weeks.
Don't ever mention ginger to someone with hg by the way, unless you want them to throw up on your shoes out of frustration

I got sweeties
Didn't like the consultant.
- there's no such thing as a problem with your luteal phase. If you're ovulating regularly your luteal phase is fine. Years ago there was a problem, not now. Eh? How can something be a problem and then not be a problem?
- there's no pointing doing your bbt, it doesn't tell you anything.
- on the clomid you need to have sex between cd11and cd17, that's all you need to know. There's no point doing any tests.
- you do realise it can take 2 years for a normal couple to get pregnant?
- with unexplained infertility like yours there's not much success rate with clomid but you have to try it to be referred to the assisted conception unit.
Anyway, I have sweeties, and he said he will refer us in 6 months if we're not pregnant, so I got what I wanted/ expected.
As I only started AF Monday evening, with spotting, I could technically start it today as cd2 but DP still has stitches in his willy so not sure if we'll be doing anything useful by shag week...

Oh and afraid my fc said practically the same thing! Maybe they're actually right?! although I still think mine's a twat
