Expecto Patronum

If you are you over 30 and have been ttc for over 12 months, are witch like or even better a complete hag and willing to abuse your powers of wizardry to conjure up gin by the bucket load, then fill out the Beshionnaire and join us if you dare in our battle against BESH curse.

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

Don't worry bugs. I'm not being much of a saint at the moment. I bought two twin packs from Tescos last night and have scoffed one box plus a bag of malteasers today. I'm obv blaming the resultant headache on this mornings stabbing though :) glad you've been feeling better. You know the path to take from now on, once your system clears you'll be able to have the odd treat and it won't particularly affect you.

Ps in terms of natural sugar, the best fruits are berries. Fruit has a lot of sugar in it. Gives me thrush if I eat too much - that and to much coffee

That's not very clear, the best fruit to eat are berries, much less naturally occurring sugar.

Hmmmm, I think GP could pass. MATV would never do that!

That's good Bugs. I'm pleased it's turned out well and he's come round. Smile

You're welcome bugs!

I'm so sorry euro my luffly.

Fancies40Winks · 31/08/2013 21:40

draf I am most lurking cos I have nothing to say, but I was searching for a glue-related comment and failed, so was very impressed and amused by yours :)

Fish slaps to everyone else.

Watch out for the apple juice bugs, fruit juices hit your blood stream faster than a spoon of sugar! For reals! It's because fructose molecules are smaller than glucose ones so they're more quickly absorbed - n.b., if a diabetic is having a hypo they'll be given fruit juice!

How about almond milk? Is yummy and v easy to make. Simply chuck say 15 or so almonds in to a blender with a pint of water and whiz. Leave overnight and they suggest straining but I never bother, why remove nut particles from meusli?

Arrrrgh, BESHes, I am incompetent. I didn't shove the needle on the syringe firmly enough this morning, so halfway through injecting it started dripping. So I clearly haven't got a full dose today, but I have got some of it. Grrrrr, how am I so stupid?! I shall just have to make sure I do it properly tomorrow, I suppose.

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 09:37

I'm sure it will be fine Draf. Maybe ring the clinic. How much do you think you lost? Mine really stung this morning, ice cube for me tomorrow!

OP posts:
RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 09:38

I've lost a few drops here and there trying to get air bubbles out! Paranoid....

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 09:39

Where are you at cycle wise at the moment Draf?

Sorry for multiple posts, keeping pressing send before I've said all I want to!

Yay for GP bugs he has redeemed himself!
draf I'm sure you're not unusual to have a slight drucksfail. I've read somewhere that there's always slightly more in a dose than strictly necesary so that if you lose a bit it's not the end of the world. Annoying though.

I've been GF since April but I do fall off the wagon now and again. Yesterday I might have had a bit of toast and jam. God it was good! Have a lovely Sunday everyone. I'm off to take the 'orse out for a blast.

evilgiraffe · 01/09/2013 13:24

I doubt there's much the clinic could say other than "get it right tomorrow", tbh. It was two or three big fat drops, but I've no idea what the volume actually was. You're right, coco, there's probably a bit of leeway anyway!

In terms of cycle days, due to starting zoladex three months ago, I'm currently CD81 Grin As far as IVF goes, I have two weeks of downreg stabbing under my belt, and another still to go - scan/bloods on Tuesday next week. Hopefully start stimming Weds next week!

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 15:49

I think people must get stuff wrong all the time or forget etc, it will be fine I'm sure.

Ladies I have some random ingredients that need using up and am wondering about making a cheese and broccoli soup. I have frozen broccoli, some shropshire blue cheese that's gone over a bit too much to eat really because it's gone a bit hard but I don't want to waste it. I also have home made chicken stock, some proper English butter and a red onion. What do you reckon?

JethroTull · 01/09/2013 15:51

Sounds good Rasp. I love a good soup Smile

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 16:48

where have others stabbed? We've gone for upper outside thigh the first two stabs which I'm sure the nurse said was fine but I've just looked at a couple of vids and they all say, as do the instructions on the leaflet, to do it on the tummy. Are we imagining things? Im sure the nurse said thigh was fine. One of the videos I watched the woman said when she was stabbing on left side her left eggs grew really quickly so she swapped to right and the right ones then grew quickly!

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 01/09/2013 17:04

Nurse said belly, so belly it is. It makes no difference what side you do it on, though, it's subcutaneous not intra-ovarian :)

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/09/2013 17:09

right, I'm moving to belly tomorrow.
