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

Maybe we need a Berry fat fighters club?!?

Morning all

barking dog chaos does not sound fun at all. Especially in this heat. Put the newcomer back in the kitchen I reckon. It won't kill him.

Did everyone have a good night last night? I was at my work do- it was good fun but we should have come home earlier today as I'm knackered now but up to walk pooch before heading out for the day.

Tallyra · 20/07/2013 09:09

sorry, I was out playing mah jong. that dress is gorgeous!!!
I finished the parasol, and now it's all cold and dull today! but that'll be easier to cope with so its fine. off in a bit, so see you all tomorrow probably.

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 10:27

tally you're so creative, wish I could be more like that. I'd just get bored and have a housefull of unfinished items!

boom your sobriety wishes worked! Drank lime and sodas, then went for a (heathy-ish) meal and drove home...costing grand total of £13!!! Bargain! Oh but seriously, get brother's dog in kitchen! He doesn't deserve the cuddles!!!

bunny fat fighters sounds fab! Weight down a kilo this week!

Well in my news....

My pretreatment iui appointment has come for 1st aug!!!!!! Woop woop
:-D

Bunnygirlie · 20/07/2013 11:57

Morning all!

Mother nature really must hate me, not only won't she let me have a baby she has given me a vile hangover!!! Alcohol bad, think I may give it up for a month!!!

Thank goodness it is cooler today, have a BBQ this afternoon and with a hangover that would have been hellish!

Fat fighting begins Monday kitty will have my weigh in Sunday night!

Have a good day y'all! I'm off to get showered, then have some lunch, make 2 choccie Pavlovas and then BBQ laters.

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 12:05

bunny you'd be better weighing yourself in the morning naked as you accumulate weight in fluid and food over the day

Bunnygirlie · 20/07/2013 12:54

kitty I guess I like seeing the worst case lol

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 14:09

bunny true and if you weigh yourself again in the morning you can tell yourself you've lost a kilo all by yourself!

Pipbin · 20/07/2013 16:47

I weigh myself in the nip first thing in the morning.
I've got to be officially weighed on Thursday by the IVF clinic.
And although I've been kind of trying I've managed to out back on all the weight I have lost in the last couple of weeks (which was all of about 3lbs).
So I am having an über healthy week and this week and feeling miserable about it.

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 17:02

pip it will be worth it in the end

Pipbin · 20/07/2013 17:35

Exactly Kitty I only need to keep being this harsh until Thursday. I need to be sensible after that of course but not quite so full on.

ladybunnikins · 20/07/2013 18:50

Good luck with the weigh in, Pip, I'm also having a strict diet week ready for my IVF appointment next Saturday. I'm hoping we'll be able to start in September.
4 dpo for me, just been for a lovely bike ride and found two geocaches. I moved house a few months ago so I'm still getting to know the area. I don't really like cycling on the road but there are lots of cycle paths around here so I have no excuse!

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 19:00

Texted my friend the other day re pregnacare vits and got autocorrected to 'pregnancy scare' ...... oh the irony haha

Oh and I see natwest have jumped on the 'lets make the Berries die a little more' band wagon with their new advert!!!!

ladybunnikins · 20/07/2013 19:11

I haven't seen the natwest ad yet but I did see a boots lorry with a giant bare bump on the side!

Boomgoestheweasel · 20/07/2013 20:41

Evening all

Bit drunk so excuse me if I ramble...!

Found out today on the grapevine that an old friend has just had a baby. Doesn't know who the daddy is, was a one night stand. This has upset me beyond belief....how is it fair that someone can get updiffed after ONE bloody night with someone she can't even remember the name of when I can't even get knocked up after sleeping with my husband several thousand times (and I know his full name, address, birthday and social security number??) So I've had three strong G&Ts and a glass of prosecco (what's that? alcohol isn't good when you're ttc?) and now I'm feeling self-pitying and grumpy!

kitty ooooh not long! How exciting! How are you feeling about it?

lady, blind I'm refusing to turn the telly on until recent spate of bump adverts has abated!

pip, lady good luck with your weigh-in detoxes!

bunny I just bought a dress for Friday's wedding. I don't really fit in it but the summer sales mean that everything in the shops are rubbish, and they only had this in a 12....so I'll be joining you in a massive health push this week! after tonight's prosecco

tally you play mah jong and have a parasol. I'm in awe of your cool...

CatsCantFlyFast · 20/07/2013 20:59

Sorry for being a bit lurky and non posty berries, but following along and keeping FX for everyone.
Boom, that would piss me off massively too. It simply is not fair. Have more wine and swear a lot

Boomgoestheweasel · 20/07/2013 21:03

Merk I intend to do both of those things - good advice! How are you feeling? xx

CharmingCats · 20/07/2013 21:07

Haven't managed to start the diet here, either. Retirement do lt night, lunch out today and BBQ tomorrow. Monday it is! I always weigh myself first thing, after a wee and shower.
Was going to start using my cbfm again now that I have a shorter cycle, but forgot to reset it. Can I do it tomorrow, on cd 3?
So pleased about your appointment coming through, blind

OP posts:

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 21:58

charming and boom thanks guys! Trying not to get too excited but I sooo am as don't want to line myself up for a fall (I was crushed when clomid didn't work even though the ovulation thing isn't actually a problem). My next cycle starts 8th aug. praying they will start then but don't know how much planning is involved. Well the cat scratched at the letter...guess she's worried she won't be 'the baby' for much longer (please god)

boom it's so unfair, it really is.

merk hey you! How you doing?

CatsCantFlyFast · 20/07/2013 22:15

I'm good, other than full body itchyness! Lots of lazing on the sofa in my house!

CatsCantFlyFast · 20/07/2013 22:16

Blind that's soooo soon! Whoop whoop

Bunnygirlie · 20/07/2013 22:57

boom grrrr to the one night stand instadiffer, that is bloody rotten!

Ooh kitty so soon, exciting!

Weigh-in tomorrow morning (or evening) then, and diet starts Monday!

Tonight I got asked the question that all us berries love - so when you you going to have babies then...... Aaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!

CatsCantFlyFast · 20/07/2013 23:12

Bunny that question turns me into an ogre. It's so personal for one thing, but also so insensitive. I always wanted to be brave enough to ask something equally rude in return...

BlindKitty · 20/07/2013 23:13

bunny I got asked that by a someone a few weeks back. I was feeling wicked and just told him strait that my uterus wasn't playing and I hoped that didn't make him feeling uncomfortable..which of course it did haha

Pipbin · 20/07/2013 23:20

Charming you can start the CBFM from up to day 6.

AF is here, but I have no idea what that means except it should happen! And I looked at my clinic drugs and appointment schedule and realised that my appointment isn't until Friday, not Thursday. One extra day to get thinner.
Oh and Lady top tip before the weigh in, have a bath that morning, you lose 1/2 a lb in the bath. It's true weigh yourself before and after.
