The 90s one? It got moved to classics...sorry! Forgot to say that!

BoodleDoo · 06/02/2014 22:30

Oh, hang on. I did say that! Have you been to classics? It's in the mumsnet stuff section of chat.

barkingtreefrog · 06/02/2014 22:53

You did say that, but I was looking in chat... What a trip down memory lane!

barkingtreefrog · 07/02/2014 06:58

Oh ffs someone twang me. I dreamt I had a baby. I then woke at 5am (as I have done for about the last 10 days) and decided that as I had insomnia when I got my bfp, this, plus the dream must be a sign let's ignore the AF cramps, the typical acne and the spotting so I pimped. BFN. Wtf was I expecting? A bloody miracle? Angry

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 08:48

No twang from me, just an unMN hug.

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 08:56

No twang from me either. Do you think its AF or just spotting Barking?

SidneyBristow · 07/02/2014 09:48

Oh barking that dream is the worst, isn't it. here have some Cake

AF due today, feeling crampy already, so expect to call in to set up my first scan if she arrives before 2pm Shock genuinely can't believe this is happening, it's just so surreal. Wish I could believe that I was in line for a FYFC based on the extreme nausea I feel right now, but that happens every month, so i'm not giving into it this time! Still a bit sad though. Ah well. Maybe my next cycle will be the lucky one Smile

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 10:23

Sid sending positive thoughts. This will be your last AF for a loooooooong time Grin

barkingtreefrog · 07/02/2014 12:15

AF is usually spotting merk so it's difficult to say. More spotting today.

Bunnygirlie · 07/02/2014 12:58

All this talk of twanging is weird. Twanging is when your heart twangs from your beloved doing something sweet, or it is to me anyway lol.

I won't wang you either though barking just hugs and Flowers

Sid I know how you feel, the whole not happening naturally is a lot to get your head round. Think positive though, FCs can work miracles Smile

Twanging reminds me of the dirty Rainbow episode. If you don't know it, look for it on You Tube!

Also, NHS said yes; start at the beginning of April. Smile

Hope everyone is having a good Friday!

HampshireBlues · 07/02/2014 17:54

Kuma yay!
Sid hope you've got your scan booked.
Nothing from me either Barkinh

Um, sorry for the mis-type twang / Wang .... Perhaps I should stick to slap!

CatsCantFlyFast · 07/02/2014 18:04

Great news Kuma. Now just a short time to squeeze in a FUFC BFP!

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 19:39

Woohoo Kuma!!! Get that FUFC in now tho!

Sid, any sign of AF yet?

FeatherFeather11 · 07/02/2014 19:48

Kuma! Excellent news! Woohoo!

Everyone else - not ignoring your stuff at all just been crazy busy at work this week and now running late to a friends' birthday thing. Will check in properly this weekend.

RevoltingPeasant · 07/02/2014 20:17

Yay! Somebody buy that committee a drink!

Sid scan??

happylass · 07/02/2014 20:46

Great news Kuma. Delighted for you Smile

SidneyBristow · 07/02/2014 21:38

No AF as yet but feeling crampy and horrendous so expecting to have to call the clinic tomorrow and leave a message. Really getting nervous about how scans/EC/ET will fit in with SKs' schedule this month Confused

IamKuma · 08/02/2014 10:06

Thanks Berries, I feel very fortunate. DH is really happy too and also keen to try for a FUFC in the meantime!

RevoltingPeasant · 08/02/2014 11:00

AF. Also, walked out door yesterday morning to find car tyre completely flat.

Fence panel still down in garden, going to try to get to that today.

Water still coming in through walls.

This time I think I had an 11 day LP.

:(

Aquarius1 · 08/02/2014 11:13

Morning all

Oh RP what a rubbish turn of events for you - hope you're staying afloat and not feeling too rotten

kuma that's v exciting

Who else isn't yet on IVF bus? I've finally got an FC apptmt to follow up from lap & dye in a couple of wks so anticipating possibly moving closer to it but can't quite get my head around the possibility of having it yet - I'm in denial about the fact we might need some help - did anyone else feel like that? If so how did you get over it?

Parsley2506 · 08/02/2014 11:14

RP fuck the lot of it. Sorry the witch got you, 11 day LP sounds alright tho!

barkingtreefrog · 08/02/2014 12:02

Enough blood here now to know it's AF apart from that totally delusional part of me that always clings on in the hope it's not AF until the temp drop around cd4 but not enough to reassure me it's a 'normal' cycle. So despite the optimism at ovulating on cd15 instead of 22, it got me no further forward as LP remained at 8 days, cycle reduced to 23 days, and bleeding is ridiculously light Angry . What is also annoying is the short cycle has made my dates such that I can expect the next break out of bad acne perfectly in time with our wedding Sad .

And I have sympathy rp, our roof started leaking yesterday and we need a new gear box. £1000 bill from the garage is not what you want the same month as your wedding.

And because I spent time doing wedding stuff yesterday I have more work to catch up on today than I can possibly get through. Obviously being on here is helping enormously. Hmm

RevoltingPeasant · 08/02/2014 15:55

Poo, barking.

On the plus side, it means we can both have a glass of wine if we like!

Sorted car tyre - changing it in 35 mph winds was particularly fun, and even better when the wheel nut broke - and moved fence panel, and arranged window repair man to come and fix water ingress, so things are looking up.

Also going yo book with GP on Monday - screw waiting any longer!

Kuma hope you are enjoying yourselves!! And Sid don't worry, the scheduling will fall into play. Eyes on the prize!

Bunnygirlie · 08/02/2014 15:56

RP sorry you are having a crappy time, have Cake

barking booooo to AF and the acne Flowers

aquarius One step at a time my lovely, after my lap I was kind of resolved that it wouldn't happen naturally so each month I wasn't stressed anymore when AF arrived, it was quite liberating! Just take it easy and one appointment at a time x
