Instadiffers and baby dusters will be turned into frogs and used in a potion.

I remember the last woo fred. It was disastrous for pretty much everyone involved iirc.

I am going to make an appointment with a woo foot poking lady. I can't keep having panic attacks at work, in tesco etc etc. I had lunch with a friend today who hada win after 3.5yrs, a mc and Ivf and she recrecommended her. (Her new baybee is scrummy but a major poo machine.)

Nokkie73 · 27/08/2013 17:22

Oh euro i am really sorry. I was really wishing this would be your cycle after everything. The timing of the news is also just fucking shit. Please look after yourself and Mr Euro. Xx

twonks I went to a foot poking woo lady and am convinced that she did help (ivf epic fail notwithstanding). A little bit of woo won't hurt (a lot of woo will make you smell of cardamom and carelessly hirsute though so watch it).

Hello to everyone else. The Hairy Potter Fred is awesome, by the way. Hello to the newbies too.

Norks xx

cherrycoconut · 27/08/2013 17:31

I hear ya euro there's nowt to say but sorry. Us muggles could all use some feckin magic at the mo.

Loving the quote bugs I definitely feel like a changed person since all this stuff kicked off. '...engages every fibre of your being.' hmm, not wrong. It's challenging me to cope in ways I never dreamed of and turn to all sorts of major woo stuff. Hopefully I'll come out of this a better person not a basket case.

Managed to convince the counsellor lady we're good to go anyway... we're officially throoo to the next round chaps! Apparently she recommends at least two sessions for most couples but doing our homework paid off :) We is officially sorted.

Amusingly she started the session by saying 'there are no wrong or right answers, everything you say will stay within these four walls, it's not a test'. And ended by saying 'well I think I can safely pass you off as fit to proceed'. Hmmm!

So. DE co-ordinator lady here we come. Let the agonising wait for the next apt begin!

RaspberrySnowCone · 27/08/2013 17:55

Brilliant news Coco. People do say some funny things in these situations but to completely contradict themselves..... Hmm.

Good luck with the woo Bugs. I'd like to try a bit of woo but MATV is having none of it. Apparently he's the only one allowed to stick things in me (by that I mean the IVF drugs.....pfft you lot have dirty minds....!) Grin

HWCA has given up on having sole claim to my parts after being there several times to see me "have sex with a robot" ie get dildocammed :)

Great news cherry. When's the next appointment?

I am drinking wine and perving on watching Magnum, happy in the knowledge that he is a mainstream crush.

FrankelInFoal · 27/08/2013 17:59

Sorry about the BFN euro, clinging on to the hope that it was just too early.

FizzyFeet · 27/08/2013 18:15

Gosh, what mixed news for the BESH at the moment. Euro I'm so sorry about the BFN. I too am holding to the hope that it's too early. I know platitudes aren't helpful so I will just reiterate what was said in a different context upthread. You are made of Tough Stuff. We all are.

Cherry that's wonderful about the appt. Must be a relief! Do you have any sense of how long the wait is for the DE appointment? I hate waiting for anything - it's fecking annoying. But you have to celebrate each bit of progress!

We had happy news today. A friend whose baby was stillborn last year has had his little brother. Early, with an emergency section, but here and safe. I'm so pleased, and a bit teary thinking of what they've been through.

SinkyMalinks · 27/08/2013 18:33

Sorry Euro

Bugs. I'm almost certain you were about for the last woo fred. Maybe a year ago (can't quite believe its that long, but I know where I was working at the time). It was a disaster. Don't go there.

NGECOAWF.

Bearfacedchic · 27/08/2013 18:45

Oh Euro Sad I can't add anything wise or useful but just thinking of you. Thanks

That's good news Cherry. I didn't know you had to go through interviews for IVF (unless I've misunderstood?) good that you're getting there though.

I definitely want some woo if you lot are having some. Well done Bugs on taking positive steps. I fancy some foot woo and some needle woo. Think I can only afford one though. I'm also interested in reiki, but know very little about it.

CatsCantFlyFast · 27/08/2013 18:50

In the interest of balance Euro, I had 2 days where I was convinced my last cycle before intervention had come to nothing, stark white bfns. Overnight when from arctic to bfp, unexpectedly.
Either way have a hand as this bit is awful and hard

Bearfacedchic · 27/08/2013 19:25

I have a question BESH. I'm supposed to be going for a 21day blood test tomorrow, but I'm only just oving today. Is it worth me going tomorrow or should I wait a couple of days til ov is over?

Fancies40Winks · 27/08/2013 19:31

'Day 21' tests are meant to be carried out 7 days after ov. If you go straight after ov your progesterone won't have had time to rise and will make it look like you didn't ov this cycle. Are you sure you've just ov'd?

alwyn · 27/08/2013 19:32

Yep, I remember distinctly the last woo fred being a complete disaster.

Thinking of you euro Flowers

I'm still here and lurking. Job is going well, so hopefully we can start trying for a baybee again in December.

I don't really get on with yoga. I do like pilates but there aren't any one off classes near me, and the sets of classes are usually a waste of money because shift work means I always miss one or more. I may re-google and try again though.

Winks, I saw woo foot woman the other day for the first time. If nothing else she calmed me right down - in fact I doubt I have ever been calmer than I was in there. Slightly manic at work today though (I'm normally a tigger like character!!) so am glad am seeing her on Thursday!

On response to Aragorn, oh god, yes.
