Kat would you like me to send you your CBFM back? I think it's under my bed!

KatAndKit · 07/09/2013 08:55

Ooh yes please! I promised no piss sticks till the new year, by then the three months you are supposed to wait before starting shag dictator will be up.

FrankelInFoal · 07/09/2013 08:57

No problem. PM me your address and I'll send it back next week. I may even have some piss sticks left over!

Oh BESH, I had a migraine last night, it was horrible and now I feel like utter shite. I should just go back to bed but I'm just not one of those people that can rest when I don't feel well :( I also weighed myself yesterday morning and have lost 2lbs in two weeks which panicked me because I really don't want to be losing weight. I'm guessing it may be a bit of muscle though too having had a week off exercise. I don't feel hungry though because of the amount of water I'm drinking. I'm going to eat a meal every 4 hrs today and see how I get on.

Bugs - I will try your method tomorrow. I hadn't thought of doing it that way. I am loving it though. Three eggs yesterday might have been a bit much because I put blueberries and blackberries on it. Took a while to eat :)

Fizzy - the growing follies are giving me some interesting aches and pains and I'm super bloated. It feels uncomfortable more than anything so I'm generally just feeling a bit slower and under the weather than normal.

Cherry your weekend sounds just like I would like mine to be. MATV and I are just going to mope around the house today, eat food and tomorrow we will be back at the clinic and I'm hoping he will take me for a carvery somewhere on the way home!

Bear that is the most bizarre sounding TV programme I've ever heard of. Your comment did make me laugh though :)

Euro what will you be shooting? Wish I could get in to shooting but I have to be honest, I'm terrified of guns. MATV is a pretty good shot though.

Frank I am impressed with your horsey knowledge although yes, your earlier post meant nothing to me!

Right, I'm going to have a bath, vitimins & minerals and baby aspirin have been taken, injections have been injected. No fostimon for me tomorrow, just cererotide. That one stings :( My poor belly is running out of space for jabbings!

Sorry about the migraine rasp. I found the cetrotide stingy too.

I've decided to pass on shooting and leave KFZK to it this time. I'm tired and have a slightly dodgy stomach. I feel really out of sorts at the moment and from time to time I am getting a sharp womble pain. I'm hoping it is just my womb shrinking back at the end of my period and crunching the bit where he was pushing the catheter during transfer, and that I am not actually a bit broken or fighting an infection or something. Hmmm.

Welcome back kat. I hope your stay will be brief this time and you will win a honeymoon baybee so we can all throw things at you.

Sorry about the feeling crappy, euro and rasp. I have only started to have migraines in the last 6 months or so, and fortunately not many, but I sympathise with how debilitating they can be.

Returning BESH are fine with me

This weekend I will be mostly having coffee with my sister who is visiting, and - if the weather holds - hopefully getting out on a nice crisp autumny walk.

cherrycoconut · 07/09/2013 12:07

welcome back!
Sorry about your migraine Rasp tres rubbish and that you're feeling a bit dodge too euro. Resting up sounds like a good plan.

Autumny walk sounds lovely Fizz. My perfect weekend is going well so far, I've done some yoga, chatted to my gran, pottered in the garden, now waiting for the filler to dry on my skirting boards to slap some gloss on them. There are encouraging signs coming from the garden as ROCH is clearing out the garage with no nagging shock horror so all good.

Sis starts chemo next week, how she responds to the drugs will basically determine prognosis so everything crossed. Feeling quite philosophical about life and trying to make the best of everything.

RaspberrySnowCone · 07/09/2013 12:27

I have no isshoos with returning BESH either, more the merrier, so welcome back Kat!

I still feel ick. It's so lovely outside and all I can do is look at the window and go back to sleep.

bugs three eggs is quite a mountain isn't it. I was on a protein mission yesterday though :) the clinic said eat a high protein diet but I'm not really sure what thy would consider 'high' protein. We have meat with every meal and I eat that total Greek yoghurt stuff which is pretty good protein wise, as are eggs. I dunno. I'm trying but I keep finding things to stress about!

Really hope you aren't broken Euro! It's bound to be a bit sore in there after faffing around you had. Your poor foof :( maybe check with the clinic?

Cherry - good luck to your sister next week. Scary times and we are all here for hand holds.

Enjoy coffee and walking Fizz. I'm missing coffee and I've only been off it two days! I had been having a cup in the morning with my jab but had a panick the other day that it would ruin the cycle if I did so I've ditched that now to.

cherry I hope everything goes will for your sis. Chemo is tough, but it's worth it. My mum had a terrible time when she was on it (no appetite, shaking, etc). Near the end of the treatment one of the nurses twigged that this was actually a reaction to the anti-nausea drugs they had given her rather than the chemo. She was expecting to feel so rubbish on the chemo that she hadn't thought it could be anything else. It became a lot easier when they swapped the anti-nausea drug for something else.

Thanks for your support ladies. I'm hoping that I have two minor things coinciding (virus or something making me feel a bit under the weather and giving me a gippy stomach plus the womb healing from the cocked up transfer) rather than the two being linked by an infection or something. I considered calling the clinic this morning, but then I expect I would have spent most of the weekend at the clinic or in in A&E and got no rest. So I'll take it easy over the weekend and see how I'm doing later.

eurochick · 07/09/2013 13:44

Ouch bugs that's a lot! What did the £138 go on? But cutting out glue is probably good for you. :)

RaspberrySnowCone · 07/09/2013 13:51

Blimey, £138? What did you get for that? I really need a career change! I'm in the wrong business Grin Would agree with the cutting out gluten and dairy though. I'm intolerant to both, I can eat them but only small amounts. My yoghurt and berries is about the most I can cope with in a day.

God i'm bored. Hate being ill :(

I had a similar thing when I saw the nutritionist and probably spent about the same amount. I felt a bit sicky after the one lot which she recommended for thrush. I asked the Dr about it at an infertility appointment and he said 'let me guess, she told you had something or other bacteria in your gut'. I said yes, that was exactly what she said. He just went 'hmm, they all say that, stop taking them and don't see her again'! So I didn't but the foody principles were good. If you're eating a good healthy diet you could supplement it with a multivitamin but generally shouldn't need anything. I don't think I've had thrush since going paleo, not even when I've had antibiotics which is a real revelation.

I was going to write "Morning Hags" and realised moring was a while ago. We are having a very quiet weekend, but I've been for a swim and done a yoga-for-runners routine I found online. I upped my exercixe from none til some this week (to get back to pre-IVF fitness) and I ache all over now. And I am incredibly stiff.

Welcome back kat! If you are an insta-honeymoon-differ we'll yell at you and be jealous, but otherwise very welcome back! You're the first explained repeat-mc-er I've "met".

Sorry about the migraine rasp. I think you've done very well on all the drucks so far. The DRing ones gave me terrible headaches (as well as made me suicidal). Very exciting EC could be as soon as Tuesday. Keeping everything crossed.

Sorry you're very fysically meh, euro and a bit of time to yourself sounds good. Thinking of you.

OMG bugs. Do describe the dairy intolerance symptoms, that were worth such an amount. I really hope it makes a good difference. I am a born sceptic=scientist, so I'd struggle with the woo...

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 07/09/2013 15:21

And cherry I really hope the chemo makes a big difference for your sister and gets her a better prognosis, as well as not make her feel too bad. The weekend sounds lovely.

And it is not time for autumny walks yet fizz. Buries head firmly in the sand re: the season. Where has summer gone?

That sounds like SB (the stench part). I fart pretty much all through the WWs, but I reckon it's progesterone linked... Good, saved a first 48 quid. Ta!

RaspberrySnowCone · 07/09/2013 15:53

That was the word, candida! The stuff she gave me for candida made me pukey. For what it's worth, I think they speak sense and mean well, I just think they are too quick to push supplements before letting you sort out diet first. If I'd have had 8 weeks to sort my diet id have been quite confident to go back and say no to the supplements, I think that's why they like to see you every two/three weeks to start with. Dairy is a definite thing to cut out though, I get thrush if I have to much dairy or too much coffee.
