Hello Berries, thought I'd pop by and say hello! It looks like there have been some very positive events this week, boom, Gil Grin. Tally good luck for tomorrow.

I'm due on 11th, if this is a short cycle or 13th if my phone App is to be believed. I was feeling positive last week as we managed to DTD a few times during shag week; but today my cervix is low which from all experience so far means AF on her way. Sigh.... another week of the waiting game.

SidneyBristow · 03/07/2013 21:14

Just a quick note to say good luck for tomorrow tally! May the force of the berries be with you!

Also gill what fantastic news about your appointment! So chuffed for you! You're on the home stretch lady, I can feel it!!

Tallyra · 03/07/2013 22:40

thank you everyone. I've been really subdued today, and I'm not sure if its to do with being a bit apprehensive. I'm sure its only going to be a chatty appt rather than any looking but my brain won't let me be relaxed at the moment.
I was going to go on my own as dh can't get time off, but I'm having second thoughts, maybe I'll ask MIL, but I'm not entirely sure about that either. gah!

Bunnygirlie · 03/07/2013 22:51

Ello!

Hope all goes well tally

Just got in from a friends house, nice to have a catch up as she is the only RL friend/family that knows!

Grin at dtd cheerleaders.

Good luck tally. I reckon it sounds like a great idea to take someone with you. Did you ask mil?

Well the shag week is officially over in thunder towers. Didn't manage it last night, and just hope we did enough. Nothing like the lofty heights of merkshagalot over there..!

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 11:05

merk god knows. Right, I'm going to call in a min. Have been putting it off as burst into tears the last time I called!

gillster your fc sounds amazing!!!! I want her!!!! I've been waiting 6 months already just for iui and ttc for over 2 years!!!

Well having a sick day here. Do feel like a bit of a fraud though as do feel slightly better now I've had lemsip!

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 11:32

merk Just called the hospital. Basically didn't tell me anything. If I'd known we'd have been waiting this long I'd have had a few private goes by now. As far as they're concerned I didn't go on the waiting list until march (because the fc didn't write to them for a month) so we've only been waiting 5 months Angry

Brodicea · 04/07/2013 12:56

Grr BlindKitty ALWAYS with the delays in sending / receiving correspondence it seems.

Good luck to tally too.

We're off on holiday tomorrow, perfect timing for shag-week - wish me luck. NB we are only going to Yorkshire but still, plenty of hill-walking and (moderate) ale drinking should help us relax...

barkingtreefrog · 04/07/2013 16:06

kitty that's so frustrating Angry .

tally are you done yet? Just popped in to see if there was any news....

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 17:48
Thundercatsarego · 04/07/2013 18:44

brod hooray for holidays! Especially for shagweek holidays!

blind that is SHIT. You poor thing. And only five months??? What happens now then?

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 20:01

brodi and you're going to have fab weather!!!!

thunder I'm meant to shut up and wait patiently I think!

So I stupidly poas earlier (af due tomorrow) and of course got the usual result! When will I learn lol?

Bunnygirlie · 04/07/2013 21:05

AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH Just about holding it together here! My Ipad has crashed and it has lost all my TTC data!!!

I fecking hate computers!

Thundercatsarego · 04/07/2013 21:29

bollocks figs to that blind. If they cocked up the dates then its their mistake?! Are you tempted to get on their case?

figs bollocks bunny. Is there no restore you can do?

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 21:59

bunny that's how I felt when some guy twat nicked my phone last year! Wasn't issuing ff then either so it was all just in my phone! As annoying as it is, I can safely say you won't care so much in a few months (but do feel to have a good cry in the meantime)

thunder they don't see it like that. Basically with the nhs you're just totally at their mercy. The letter was probably just sat in a secretary's 'to do' tray for a few weeks because that's what generally happens in my office with my letters

Bunnygirlie · 04/07/2013 22:14

Bollocks and figs indeed!!! I feel like a right twonk!

Doctors appointment tomorrow, but nervous, meeting a new doctor and trying to get a referral Confused

Sorry, having a bit of a me me me moment

OP posts:
Tallyra · 04/07/2013 22:19

aww sorry I didn't come in and say something earlier. I did take mil and she was very helpful, asked a question I should have asked and offered to take me to the hospital for the procedure on the 24th. And they finally told me the name of the procedure. it's a hysteroscopy. Anyone else had one?

BlindKitty · 04/07/2013 22:19

bunny don't b nervous, just be strong and assertive ..and if all else fails ..just cry. My dh has convinced me to see my gp about everything as he thinks she will have nagic powers in speeding things up!

barkingtreefrog · 04/07/2013 22:45

Whoop! for helpful MiLs Grin . Glad it went ok tally. Are you feeling more relaxed about it now?

bunny Angry Angry Angry stupid technology. All well and good while it's working...

Bunnygirlie · 04/07/2013 22:54

Kitty - I don't think I've been strong and assertive ever! Sorry to hear about your wait!

Tally - glad your appt went ok

Barking- it is my own fault really, hadn't done the back up properly doh!

Off to bed to worry about doctors tomorrow, if I'm nervous now what will I be like at the FC if we get there!

OP posts:
Tallyra · 04/07/2013 22:56

I suppose I am. I've been through 3 things very similar, so I just need to relax and let them do their thing I guess. I might just be too sleepy to care right now though.

Tallyra · 04/07/2013 22:58

good luck bunny! make sure you write notes or get dp to do so. I so should have done that most times I've had an appt.

barkingtreefrog · 04/07/2013 23:30

I emailed a few mates earlier asking if they wanted to join me in a race later in the year. Got an email back from one saying she'd love to, but was trying to get pregnant so would have to let me know nearer the time. It hadn't even occurred to me that I might be pregnant in October and not be able to take part (it's a run with obstacles, I suppose throwing yourself over walls and crawling under nets wouldn't be advisable).
I can't decide whether I'm more depressed at her blind optimism that they're trying therefore it will happen (and it could) or my total loss of optimism, given I'll have had two or three cycles of clomid by then....

Gillster · 04/07/2013 23:57

Sorry for the delays blind that's so frustrating.

tally I think they are doing hysteroscopy to remove my polyp on 17th so I can tell you all about it!

Good luck Bunnie for tomorrow. Don't take any nonsense.

PuppyMummy · 05/07/2013 07:08

barking sign up! it might jinx you into getting pregnant!

I keep booking things far in advance, 10k race for life, wine tasting, V festival etc, in the hope of a jinx! not worked yet tho!!
