Oooooh sid I never realised we had a bitching bench, save me a seat!

I could bitch about coming home from work and finding my man flu-ridden husband playing on the x-box so I have to watch tv upstairs.
But I'd probably just bitch about how unfair it is that it isn't happening naturally, it is just shite isn't it sid Enjoy dildocam!

foody it's all so confusing isn't it! I have really sore boobage but no chance of being pg and nowhere near AF either (CD18), my body is fecking with me!

merk you are awful!!! Wink

merk I am CD-25, DPO-7.

barkingtreefrog · 30/09/2013 18:52

Thanks foody I know exactly what you mean. Today was better from an emotional point of view, but from a day to day view driving to Tescos after a very tiring day at work for cash and food and realising I didn't have my wallet with me was a little annoying! Might be linked to waking up at 5.20am. Grr!

sid DP tried the 'I know it hurts right now but at some point you need to be happy for x' and I gave him many reasons why that was unlikely due to what she had said and done (to others) previous to being bumped. After hearing me out DP agreed with me that bumped woman is not the kind of person to take other's feelings into consideration before acting or opening her mouth and therefore avoidance was actually the best policy for a good while. So now I have to find out whether she's going to be there each time someone mentions the pub. But it's definitely for the best. I'm glad our friends know as it makes it easy to avoid her without seeming like a complete bitch!

Foodylicious · 30/09/2013 19:08

Glad yo.u had a better day barking but nightmare about the wallet, I did that a while ago, didn't realise till I got to the check-out.
Glad it sounds like DP is understanding where you are coming from with 'her'.

Oh and 'bitching bench' guys! I like it!

BlindKitty · 30/09/2013 19:37

Why have I only learnt of the bitching bench now?!!! Has sid been keeping it to herself all this time?!?

funkymonk · 30/09/2013 19:38

Just dropping in to say g'day.

I really feel for you barking. It is such early days though so things bound to be really tough right now. Particularly when you have bumped friend around. It's a big cliche, but time is a healer. Take all the time you need. There's no definitive 'recovery' time for this shitty kind of thing.

Bunny I'm not exactly sure what a lap and dye is? It to further look at tubes?

funkymonk · 30/09/2013 19:38
  • Is it
funkymonk · 30/09/2013 19:41

I'm well up for a seat on the bitching bench!

How you doing kitty?

Someone gave me a rose quartz today and told me to tape it just above my belly button when I go to sleep tonight!! Not really in to that kind of stuff but up for anything right now!

barking glad your DH is a bit more understanding now.

funky according to the leaflet I was given, a lap and dye is for assessing the pelvis and Fallopian tubes. I am also having a hysteroscopy which is to assess the cavity and lining of the womb.
I guess it's to check that my 'palace' is habitable Grin

Did I mention I am having my op next week?!? Shock

RevoltingPeasant · 30/09/2013 20:08

But.... Wouldn't the rose quartz just stick into you if you rolled over at night?

This is why I could never be a hippy - too many questions!!

Speaking of which..... You guys who use FF, do you pay for it? It keeps telling me my special VIP trial subscription will end next week but I don't know if that's just an offer or if you do only have a month with it. It was presented as a free app, but to so sure now.....

CatsCantFlyFast · 30/09/2013 20:12

Rp FF is free but has additional features you can pay for (VIP). Let your free trial expire and you will go back to the free version (but won't lose any of your data). You can upgrade at any time if you decide you want to VIP features back again

barkingtreefrog · 30/09/2013 21:09

rp I use FF, never bothered paying for the VIP version. Free app does all I need it for Smile .

happylass · 30/09/2013 21:33

Evening all. Hope all went well Sid.
Next week Bunny?!? Things do move fast in your neck of the woods! I don't even get to see the consultant until Dec 5th!
RP I've never paid for FF and its done everything I need ie tracking cycle and charting BBT.
Nothing to report here just merrily TNTC and counting down the days until we can start back.

Foodylicious · 30/09/2013 21:38

Quiet in here... (tumble weed rolls past)
My life is so exciting I have started re watching the x-files (again!)

Bunnygirlie · 30/09/2013 21:47

I'm here!

happy We couldn't bear waiting till jan/feb time so we have dug into the savings and going private. Really freaking out now!

OP posts:
BlindKitty · 30/09/2013 21:49

funky all good here. Very anxious about 1st scan tomorrow though...

rp never bothered with VIP, in fact don't even know what extras you get? Thought the free version had everything you needed?

So breaking bad fans....what did you think????

Foodylicious · 30/09/2013 22:21

Good luck Kitty!!!!

And bunny next week for your op? that's really soon! You will be fine I am sure, though you would not be normal if you wern't nervous - Are they planning on keeping you in overnight?

Foodylicious · 30/09/2013 22:29

Off to bed to try not to think about my multi-pack of OPK and HPT internet cheapies sitting at the post office. Sooo tempted to get them on the way to work tomorrow, what am I doing to myself??

night all x

kitty we have been meaning to start watching breaking bad for months having heard how fab it is from just about everyone we know - must do it soon, think we even have it downloaded.
However tomorrow eve is for the last 2 episodes of Dexter. Ever.

barkingtreefrog · 30/09/2013 22:37

We've only just started watching Dexter foody!! Just finished the last two episodes of season 1 tonight!!

Bunnygirlie · 30/09/2013 22:45

Ooh kitty how many weeks? Are you paying for early scan?

foody I am still waiting for hospital letter but assume its just day surgery

Will have to catch up on Breaking Bad one day! I have quite a few series I want to watch, just up to date with Supernatural, series 3 of Sopranos, series 3 of Madmen and have 60 eps of the Wire to watch!

barking I love the first series of Dexter, a few of the middle seasons were week but I am interested to see how they end it!

Oh dear you can tell I'm tired weak not week! That was awful!

RevoltingPeasant · 30/09/2013 22:58

Thanks!!

BlindKitty · 01/10/2013 06:57

Thanks foody, do you recommend starting dexter then? We have a void to fill now that breaking bad is finished

bunny 7. You get one autonatically when you've had iui or ivf, guessing because risk of ectopic is higher (not just because they're nice and know we'll be stressed lol)

yorkiebilb · 01/10/2013 07:03

Good luck today kitty

barkingtreefrog · 01/10/2013 07:12

Good luck kitty.

I feel like death. I'm losing the ability to sleep, getting worse every night. Night before I was awake at 5.20. Before that 6am. Last night I woke at 3 and then repeatedly until 6.30. Was just about ready to sleep properly again when my alarm went off.... Angry . School will be fun today!
