Eggcellent Egg Buddies; are you cycling in July/August/September??? Get in here!!!

[tametortie]

We swear! We have to start a new thread every week! But we are the most gorgeous bunch of ladies ever and will do anything to get a baybee in our tumtum.

Get nattering.....

Oooooh I'd love to come to Cape Town!! I once spent a couple of days there and had a fabulous time doing everything possible including spending a night drumming which was random and brilliant - happy days

I too am going to the lakes this summer - off at the beginning of August right after transfer (if my clinic has fucked up my dates I might have to personally cause them pain or worse set the DH on them!! The lakes is clearly the place to go this year

I didn't flounce...I've been polishing my numchucks

I live 45 minutes from The Lakes

I just threw up my gourmet burgers on brioche buns

joos, you dont have to be coy with me.....no more buggering off.

Im so excited for your scan. I know you dont want to but can you fill us in on symptoms etc? Just so we can look forward to them?

DH made homemade humus tonight. Fucking ghastly.

I've been really upset today. I didn't want to be but its just pure frustration. Nurture said that I need another scan to ensure retained products have gone and no one will do the scan. 'my' hospital said I dont need it, nurtures care remit doesn't stretch to it so apparently I have to go back to my gp??!! So I guess im stuck with retained products till further notice. Im so . Im sure they will come out on their own but its worried me now that nurture have said I need to check they have gone. Why say that with no intention of following through with a fucking scan???!!!!

aaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

My honeymoon was in the lakes. We stayed at the drunken duck in Ambleside. It was heavenly. It rained everyday and we called up together in the honeymoon suite planning TTC.

Tortie, that's the oozing puss from a diseased dog's dick. What on earth to they expect you to do with that information if they're not prepared to scan you? Turds.

Symptoms come and go but they're always the same: crushing tiredness (yawning repeatedly in people's faces accompanied by a bellowing roar and, for extra fun, some of that fine spray that arches over a distance of about sixteen feet); sickness that rises up, up, up but rarely spews out (except after rich stuff); breasts which form their own cleavage minus a bra; week five is full of very weird stretching and stabbing sensations that feel like you may be miscarrying and make you look like this ; urinating non-stop; occasional utter disinterest in food or putting stuff in your gob - that one's weird because it isn't related to the sickness, you just have no compulsion to eat.

That's it. I started with the nausea and the tiredness immediately after implantation and the tits went radio rental about a week later.

I'm scared about my scan on Friday as my cycling buddy on FF went for her heartbeat scan yesterday (she is eight days ahead of me) and her baby stopped growing last week at week five and it's only the drugs preventing her from miscarrying

Oh...and I'm going alone to my scan.

Hey juicy , it's a scary old time right enough. What's the phrase? 'Hope for the best, prepare or the worst' - that's a bit pessimistic though. We'll all be there with you in spirit my love - what time is the scan? Symptoms sound fab

Oh no dont go alone. Why is DH not going?

Good range of symptoms there!!

Its is a seeping sore on the anus of a zebra. Dunno what to do now to be honest- should I push for a scan or just let nature sort it out?? What would you do??

And juicy- you know that just because your cycle buddy miscarried, doesn't mean you will. The fear will get you like that but dont give in to it! You are going to be ok

tame that really is awful about no-one being able to do your scan, FFS...sometimes people just have no bloody idea -Grrrr- upset on your behalf and sorry you've been upset.

beer great news that you can do your FET next cycle, but annoying to have conflicting advice and then no explanation

expat good that you have our drugs, but not so good not to get clear answers

cups glad your acupuncture was good, if nothing else it makes you relax

I'm cream crackered tonight, had acupuncture and am now zonked. I love my acupuncturist, but she did my nut a bit tonight and was going on at me about not going back to work after ET. I mean, it would prob only be for last 2 days of term and then I will have 6 weeks off. She doesn't like the fact that I do a lot of driving every day and I always feel that she is implying that the m/c was linked to that before. I'm probably being over sensitive.

Scan was ok today, I think. Day 7 today and the 10.5 follie from Monday is now a 15.5. There are 9 follies below 10mm and the nurse was very hopeful that they will have grown and stepped up to the mark when I go back on Friday as they looked like they were on the cusp - they use the technical term of 'twinklers'!

Choco twinklers just sound so cute! Try to let what the acupuncturist said just wash over you. She probably thinks she's being helpful and sure she has good intentions.

Juicy sorry you're going alone to scan. Can't you take anyone with you?

Tame I'm not sure what sounds worse: debris or retained products. Hope someone comes up with a solution for you, but think it's v poor the clinic won't.

I had a veg and pasta thing. Basically student food. Will try to make something more exciting tomorrow, promise!

Evening all!
fab thanks sooo much for the milky drink reminder. I will try it tom-I'm bored with the wine looking grape juice already
expat glad you've had a tidy up love.Hope DH notices appreciates it.
Keep on questioning your clinic until you get the answers you need.
nomaybe thanks for letting me off the hook reminder to self-don't fuck with nomaybe. How are you doing today? I'm green with envy on the hatching blast
nobeer great news on the upcoming transfer -bring on AF! Shandy sounds bloody lovely...
resipsa I too love the Lakes. Got any special plans while you're there?
nocups the acupuncture sounds like it did the trick. What's not to like about an afternoon snooze?
tame hope you get the scan sorted out love. x
choco great follie growth lady . Have you got a date for ET yet?
All this flipping talk of gorgeous sounding yummy scrummy risotto is driving me crackers. I shall be begging DH to knock one up (not one off Juice-before you start good to have you back) this weekend.
Xx to everyone else.

Risotto is the best. I had it reheated today for my lunch and it was even more lush than made fresh. Absolutely pucca x

tame I do that all the time. DH always makes too much . And I spend the next few days stuffing me gob!! Mmmmm

fab after a rummage around in the kitchen, managed to find all but cinnamon so partially made said drink. Was lovely even though I didn't have a clue about the quantities & poured far too much vanilla in . Now making me snoozy so thanks & night night. Xx

EC choco d'uh..

Night night sleepy

Bloody hell - never knew the Lakes were so popular! No special plans. Here with DH and DD(2) so just going where the appetite, sun and need for naps takes us.

Tame I know it's hard to be assertive in these situations because you feel so out of your comfort zone but I really think that you need to insist that your clinic undertakes a follow up scan; it's bordering on negligent (and this is my day job so I don't speak lightly) for them to assess a potential problem and fail to follow up. Tell them to sort it out for you tomorrow (or give me your details and I will).

Joos you are not your friend but I feel the fear. You WILL be fine. 45 mins eh? I reckon you're Yorkshire rather than Lancashire way...

Expat I love CT. Been twice. Steak and beer are two of my favourite things and combined with the climate in Jan, the place is a winner. Suddenly feel old, too as the first time I went was the day before Diana's (yes, that one) funeral and I remember watching it in the youth(!) hostel on TV. 1997. Eek.

DH just had a great (self congratulatory) BJ as part of my get-him-on-side plot and is snoozing happily hence extensive posting. He gets that he is lucky still to receive the same after 15 (yes, count em) years.

Tame am in Ambleside! Have avoided for a few years as particularly unpleasant ex-boss who is convinced I did the dirty on him (as in I left, with notice and 3 colleagues cause his firm was shit to work for) has 2nd home here and once bumped into him on otherwise lovely walk to Hawkshead. Glad we're back in the sun!

Good morning all!

tame i'm so sorry to hear you are still suffering. What's your relationship like with your GP? Can s/he make a fuss or referral back to the local hospital for another scan? You've been in Limbo/turmoil for what - 3 months now? Also, practice managers are useful at times like this, mine seems to know all sorts and gets things sorted in line with the GP. Or has done a few times for me anyway.

choco twinklers is a lovely term? And I do not think the acupunturist lives in the real world! Those 2 days will be relatively easy won't they? Tose twinklers are looking very good!

juicy ummm you didn't take much convincing after your flounce? Hilarious, you were back within 20 secs of being mentioned! I'm curious to know why you are scanning alone, can it be delayed so that you have mrJuicy with you? The other thing is of course that this is all unpredictable. Just because someone else has had bad news doesn't mean that you will as well.

To those who have felt they need to leave, I am sorry to hear that but understand I think. It would be nice to see you back if/when you are ready and I hope you are finding comfort where you need it and are not suffering alone. Fish.x

Juicy you're going to be just great. I can't imagine what a worrying time this s, but you will get there. Did you keep your breakfast down?!

Tame I can't believe your clinic won't do the scan. I hope you get them to see sense.

Well done on the BJ Res

I too made the mily drink Brooker!

I feel very out of sorts today.

On the subject of food however, yesterday I made muffnuts, wholesale bread and an amazing if I do say so myself chicken and chorizo salad. Nom.

Oh, and well one on the scan Choco!

AFM - three days ago I go a faint line and a clear blue digital positive. MrFish appears to be waiting for his heir to be placed in his arms before he believes the now 5 positive tests . Mind you, there won't be much for the heir to inherit, I'm currently giving the legacy to clear blue.

I am a bit nervy as it doesn't seem real at all. OTD is Sunday and I am very aware that I am at 31% risk of miscarriage, but have decided that I am more pregnant (oh, I can say that now!) than I ever have been so I may as well make the most of the moment.

IT also feels like a bit weird. I spent so much time over the years thinking about fertility, appointments, IVF, managing work and all sorts of practical stuff that I do not think I considered being duffed up.

Oh, symptoms: I was getting period pain 4 days after ET. I actually woke up with it in a state on saturday morning. I've been waking at 3am for a wee - unheard of and its pissing me off. I am still getting cramps from time to time. But I'm strangely not worried. I won't until I see blood.

Nothing else to report, but obviously the embie is still only 15 days of existence.
