The Elderberry Pavlovas who will graduate (thread 12)

[CharmingCats]

Roll up, roll up for the best discussions of ewcm, opk, ic and double dying you'll ever have. Probably.

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Bunny either you're an mp / TUC person or one of the other berries has made a stand for your cause...

Kitty if there's any rage to be going, I will get it. My PMT is legendary ever since I came off the implant - Mr Boom knows not to attempt any interaction other than offering me food once it starts

Will be interesting to see if my boobs do anything. I had a reduction a few years ago and last time I was PG there was no boob tenderness whatsoever (or any other symptom for that matter). Although that may be (TMI?) because my nipples point in as well so don't rub on anything. Whoever designed my reproductive system really didn't want me to have or feed a baby! Polycystic ovaries, arcuate uterus and inverted nips !

boom my boobs are acting totally differently this time from last time I got bfp, although they are not nearly as interesting-sounding as yours!

I have no energy and no motivation whatsoever for work today. Lets take a berry skive day and go to the beach!

thunder ooh, in what way different? Do tell

To the beach it is! Bagsie the sun lounger and brolly

Oh, and irrelevant question.

I have to go to my cousin's wedding next Friday. I suspect (from her Pinterest!) that it'll be a bit retro/1950s, and I NEED a suitable gorgeous dress that will hide my extra chubby bits but look glam and not too hot. Any suggestions?

Oh and under £50 for preference! (And needs to be recyclable for every other summer wedding I'm going to)

I don't ask much, do I?

I'm freeeeeeeeeeee! Knocking off the alarm for 6 weeks. That is all.

Well boom

Last time they became incredibly tender on the few days before af was due and continued to be big and very sore throughout. I had to buy sleeping bras because even lying in bed hurt them.

This time, hardly anything. They're a bit tender if I give them a squish or something brushes my nip but otherwise they're pretty normal.

Last time I also had nausea and gagging and feeling starving. This time- not so much. I'm just crampy and knackered so far.

Plenty of time for things to develop I know but it is slightly worrying that last time it was much more 'typical' iyswim

I want a lounger and a parasol too. Or a hammock in a meadow. Ooo yes please

Gosh Thunder you have such interesting bosoms! I shall have to get knocked up now just so I can compare boobs with you not because I want a baby

Sure the symptoms/lack of symptoms mean absolutely sod all, although obvs that won't stop you spotting them/looking them up on google so I'll shut up now

I think I might want one of those hot guys who sells iced mangoes on the beach in tropical paradises to come round the estate right about now..

They have a life of their own dont they?

We have just made banana and mango smoothies with frozen yoghurt and ice. YUM!!

Hey boom yep IBS is a right pain!
Heart shaped uterus, how strange, do they tell that for scans? The nurse who does my smears says I have a tilted cervix, hope that doesn't hinder things either.

Fed up here, off to a party tonight, wish I wasn't able to drink!!!

Omg I am watching Mad Men, in the last ep one girl gave birth without knowing she was pg and in this one some wife is freaking out because she's not pg! Grrrrrrrrr

Bunny tilted cervix means you probably have a retroverted uterus (ie tilts backwards not forwards) - doesn't really mean anything except they take aaaages to do your smear tests and when you do get diffed it might take longer for your bump to show/they might need to do dildocam to get early scans. Guess who's got one of those too??!

Sorry you're fed up. I'm also a bit pee'd off, although not with being undiffable, just with being so fat that I can't fit in any of my summer clothes without looking like a shower of shit lardy.

Just to add a bit of TMI info, I do believe that doggy style is supposed to be better than missionary for getting diffed with a tilted cervix, as is lying on your front rather than back afterwards. Can't say either is working for me but thought I'd throw it out there!!

happy I literally hate you right now the only good thing about school holidays is the traffic..oh no wait, all the tunnels in my town are being closed for refurb so it's likely to be horrendous....

thunder dh got his owner back last night and woke me to tell me there was a giant spider on the ceiling!!!

boom hmm never had a dildo cam so don't know if womb is tilted but I've never tried lying on my front. Might give it a go.

Well it will be my second night out without alcohol tonight urgh! It's so hard!!! Would be so different if I was actually pregnant!!!

How does this dress look?

and yay me too!, I still have to work on Mon and Tues, but school's out!!! Then I have my hysteroscopy, then 2 days off as told, then back to 'work' next week teaching kids to make felt. It's amazing how 6 weeks disappears when things are organised. 1 week 'off ill', the next teaching, then 1 week camping, then 2 weeks off with the occasional trip in to work to fulfil contractual obligation, then last week away and then back to school!

tally it's lovely! I love that style of dress! I remember dressing up in clothes like that if my nan's. such a shame she through it out as I got older! X

I'm tempted to bid on it myself, but it's not my colours. I don't know what size you are looking for though...

Oh, sorry, it was boom looking for the dress.

Oh how I dislike teachers at this time of the year grrrrrrr

boom thanks for the info, I might try the lying on my front! We don't tend to do missionary anyway but I do worry that me on top means all the good ones fall out!

Right, time to get my frock on for the party tonight, laters peeps x

boom my consultant said to dtd from cd11 to cd17. I'm using the cbfm to back up the temps and opks because I want to know exactly what effect the clomid is having!!

bunny if it's any consolation at all my school doesn't break up until Tuesday .

Right, got curry cooking, expecting brother and his wife and dog within the hour. DP out geting drunk with colleagues as he finished today. Very tired but still have to get the washing in and do that -quick-tidy-the-house-someone's-coming-round thing.

Oooh tally that dress is lovely! And I do need a 14, although the 12/14 description makes me worry it might be a bit tight.... worth a £3 bid though eh! It's really similar to a gorgeous one I've got with a strawberry print and red net underskirt, but I'm too damn fat to fit in it

barking oh good. Can wait until after the wedding on Friday then (DH isn't going because he's a miserable sod) and babymaking can commence on Sat, that'll be day 11. I don't have a clue what length my cycle will be if I actually start to ov, so difficult to make any assumptions about how long to carry on for. Last time we got pg I ov'd about 16 days after I had the implant taken out (don't hate me for instadiffing) so I'm hoping that's what the progesterone/clomid cocktail will take me back to...

Happy holidays to all the teacher berries! (except barking, hard luck old bean)

Bunny if your cervix is tilted I think it pretty much follows that your uterus is too. The whole caboodle is usually back to front

Kitty good luck with your sobriety!

This is the one I wanted to wear Tally! strawberry dress

Ooh, lovely dress boom !

Where is everyone tonight? Out having a social life?! Dog we're looking after and brother's dog do not get on. Have spent all evening keeping them apart. Felt bad leaving mate's dog alone in the kitchen so left my dog in there as well. Then resented brother's dog for being curled up with us in the lounge when the two better behaved ones had to go in the kitchen for their own protection... Really hoping mate gets back from holiday tomorrow and not Sunday so we don't have to repeat this tomorrow night....
