Boo to the cold Nurse. And to sodding AF Sad. But yay to the big move!! So exciting! Then you'll be diffed in no time Wink

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 20:25

I know maybe trying to focus on the positive, although it's so easy to let another disappointment put me down in the dumps. Am trying really hard to accept that it's AF on the way, and not get my hopes up as for past months, where I told myself it might be IB or something. I guessI'm further down the line now, and I know myself better. AF not actually due for another 8 days, but I know I'll be driven demented between now and then by this spotting BS. Oft. It's a bloody carry-on this TTC.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 20:35

That would be very early spotting for AF Nurse......

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 20:39

Don't you bloody start Maybs!! I'm bad enough without encouragement! It's 8 days if I go to a 32 day cycle, but only 6 if I go to 30 days, which has been known. I've had spotting for the whole week before an AF, although looking back, the spotting was from CD 34...hmmm....

No, seriously, I'm not even acknowledging the spotting today as anything although I SO BADLY wanna be in Maybe's club this month. AF will rock up in a few days, so there's absolutely no point in emptying boxes, bags and drawers looking for a test -or indeed going the shop the morra to buy in a few--.

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 20:44

This is gonna be a long ol' week...

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 21:07

How about some dancing in the meantime?!

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 21:11

Maybe, what an excellent idea! I think it's time to crack out the sound of music soundtrack - am going for a hip hop version. Drop the beat. Have you got on your curtain outfit? I've customised mine - it needed some serious bling - booty shorts and a crop top, oh yeh!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 21:19

I can't fit into mine Nurse

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 21:22

wit weow!! Looking good in your mini-smock - it does not look like a dog belly! And I love the diamantes. Very classy!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 21:33

And the pat butcher earrings?!

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 21:35

They really look great, and go so well with your 'ballin' knuckleduster.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 22:05

I'm just so gangsta Nurse

ThedementedPenguin · 05/08/2013 22:05

maybe and nurse you two are nuts!

nurse hope you are felling a bit better.

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:20

Ahhh Maybs - you caught me out on faceybook!

Penguin (I SO wanna call you Pingu) I fear I may be nuts, and that Maybs is just trying to help me contain the craziness. Either that, or she's revelling in it, and therefore encouraging it! Don't hate the players Pingu, hate the game, and if you canny beat em, join em

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/08/2013 22:22

Grin Nurse!! I am a tad crazy too. It's all good.

I think some bacteria is having a party in my mouth. I've got a massive ulcer and a raging sore throat. I reeeeeally don't want to get up at 4.15 to go to Macclesfield tomorrow. Sad

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:25

Poor mr nurse and mr Maybs lol.

You got some mouthwash? Give it a good rinse and gargle. Or try salty water. Isn't oral thrush quite common during pregnancy??

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:25

Also Maybs, getting up before 0930hrs should be illegal. Fact.

ThedementedPenguin · 05/08/2013 22:27

Oh thank you nurse

< twirls a few times, gets very dizzy and falls down>

Oh and loving my blingtastic necklace. It fits in perfectly with my bling dollar sign Bracelet and ring :D

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 05/08/2013 22:29

Grin at Nurse and Maybe. You two are crazy-fact.

Ouch Maybe, ill be up at 05:00 for my first day back at work if that helps?

PinguPenguin how are you doing? Any symptoms yet?

IVF Brookers I'm now 3dp3dt and I'm still really bloated. I look about 3 months preggers Shock my belly is quite firm as well and I've put a couple of pounds on. I'm thinking it must be a mild case of OHSS. No other problems apart from tiredness, constipated, windy etc which is all probably to do with the pessaries. I'm still having lots of water. Any advice/reassurance?

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:29

Oh my, we've gone all "brooker ghetto" - this must be a first!

On the up-side, at least it's taken my mind off my other craziness!

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:32

Cups, am no expert in the IVF stuff in fact I know sweet FA, but from a student nurse perspective, a firm belly and wind/constipation go hand-in-hand, and if you're drinking loads, you may have put on some water weight, hence the lbs/bloatedness. Bet you still look mighty fine though xx

Am brooking for all of y'all, and am off to write a rap version of 'how do you solve a problem like Maria'. Na night, boom!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 05/08/2013 22:38

too old and knackered for this malarky Wink

nearlyanurse · 05/08/2013 22:42

Boo you have the most ghetto name in here!!
