Not a knob at all Brooker, I'll let you off this once

Tame I'll work on my pelvic floor tomorrow Wink

Pea and mint sounds amazing. I'm going to plan a nice dinner for tomorrow. Oh yes.

tametortie · 09/07/2013 22:50

It is lush and so easy. I think we should start sharing recipes?? All this healthy smush gets boring after a while....I need ideas!!

Jerk chicken tomorrow. Hot hot.

DH's proxeed came today- operation fab sperm starts here Hmm

If this DNA test comes back shocking though I really dont think vitamins will solve our issues....

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 23:01

When are you expecting the results Tame?

I love jerk chicken! Definitely up for recipe sharing states at the bookcase groaning under the weight of cookery books

MotorcycleMama · 09/07/2013 23:01

maybe what is this lady garden gel you speak of?? If it is progesterone, and you lost a significant amount, my consultant says that you cannot overdose on progesterone ( though I obviously cannot vouch for that!) so maybe you could replace what you lost. But basically, I can't imagine it matters in the slightest.

It is not necessarily too early for implantation cramps for a blastocyst, as it is almost at that stage when it is transferred. Ooh-er - how exciting!!

tametortie · 09/07/2013 23:04

results should be 2-3 weeks. Very nervous. Think I am nervous about a good or bad result. Would be good to know what's wrong but if the test is clear, we may never know what's wrong.

Does that make sense? Confused

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 23:05

Thanks Motor it is indeed progesterone. Lovely stuff. Was just a drop in the old floor Grin. So I think it will be ok. Thank you so much for your reassuring words x

tametortie · 09/07/2013 23:06

Mel b sent some good recipes- will share a couple tomorrow. I hope she hasn't copyrighted them....

tametortie · 09/07/2013 23:08

nomaybe remember, its only supplementation. Your body will be making its own supply as well. It won't matter. A missed dose or an extra dose won't make much if any difference either way x

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 23:20

That makes total sense Tame. It shouldn't, but if does!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/07/2013 23:20

Thanks Tame. My bosoms are so so sore so I'm sure at working!!

Fabuluce · 10/07/2013 07:36

Morning all, nomaybe - ditto to the others and think calm thoughts :)

Yummy milk was me Brooker - use your dream sized cup of milk, grate in some nutmeg, a shake of cinnamon and a splosh of vanilla extract (all according to taste) and you're away! Obviously if you are rich and can arsed then vanilla pods and cinnamon sticks are the preferred options but if you're doing it every night then it just takes too bloody long and you'll get through loads of em!!

Fabuluce · 10/07/2013 07:37

Tame, I completely get what you're saying - it's a weird and scary time for you at the moment and you don't really know what the best answer is for you. Hugs hugs hugs.

Fabuluce · 10/07/2013 07:40

Good luck for your scan today chocs!! Go follies!

MotorcycleMama · 10/07/2013 07:47

tame I imagine that whatever the results, you will manage it and process it very well. I think that not knowing and uncertainty are the most difficult to manage, because all you then have to go on are your hopes and fears.

Morning ladies.
Good luck with DildoCam Expat!

I was out last night having tapas, so didn't join in on the what's for tea chat. We had samosas, wild mushroom croquettes, toast with salmorejo (thick cold tomato soup) and ham on top. I'm sure there was something else but can't remember. Had a shandy!

The doctor rang yesterday and said that I'd be able to do transfer after next period! I'm to ring as soon as I come on. However, this is the doctor I don't trust feel comfortable with, as she's the one who prescribed me progesterone containing peanut oil which I'm allergic too. Fortunately this error was rectified by another doctor. When I had EC last week anicernother doctor said I'd need another scan of ovaries to make sure they're ok before FET but crap doctor said that wouldn't be necessary and I'll be absolutely fine once I have my period. I did ask her if I'd need another scan, but she said no.
In true British style I don't want to make a fuss, but I am thinking about ringing and asking for a second opinion from nice doctor. DDP has said we've spent fucking thousands of euros there of course we'll ask for another doctor. DP working away so will wait to see if I still feel bloated/twingy ovaries, and then decide whether to ring or go in when he's home. I hate doing these kind of things on my own.

Brooker and Choco from my experience, bloating and twinging can only be a good sign that the hormones are working!
