The Berries: The one where The Berries cease to exist after a spate of waxy knicks and a'hem seepage (thread 20)

[funkymonk]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 12+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Thanks rain and funky. Wedding is on June 7 - not long to go now and lots to do still. I'm ok, just laying low for a bit. Thanks for your support.

X post win thanks. I see what you mean re temp dips and because my cycles are still all over the place it's hard to tell when I'll ov. My acupuncturist has managed to bring down my cycle by 10 days a month for the last three months - she promised that in advance and has been true to her word, so I just need to be patient I guess. Are you going to poas soon?

BUSHY that is such excellent news! I too have been refreshing all day and killed phone - then later was trapped on train (next to an insane biddy who kept saying "is that stoke? he didn't say we were stoppng at stoke. Does that look like stoke to you? it can't be stoke it's only half past. what do you think dear" which didn't help. anyway WOO HOO!!! and it's a beautiful evening. fantastic news.

thanks to all you kind people who sent me nice thoughts about my family. much much appreciated. barking your bridesmaid - jesus wept. Sounds like a familiar dynamic. Not only are you dealing with your own stuff, but someone else just comes along and emotes all over you and then blames you for their emotional incontinence. Bit of Olde Englishe repression would go a long way I feel. Sorry about your FC wait as well - very frustrating. you must be knackered with your early starts every day. Nice work standing up to officious nurse, although how annoying that every step of the way is a fight! FFS.

Wino no itching here. I get too sad by clear tests so I am resolved personally to wait until it's (a) obvious or (b) the menopause. Fingers crossed for you.

funky or dr Funk as I will henceforth think of you, I'm in Manchester. and commuting to London. Happy to swap FC chat if you want. Can't believe that moron's comment from fb.

Hiya chloe welcome aboard, sorry you're having trouble.

RP hope you're torn yourself away ;) and rosie hope today a bit more cheerful. Tiger thanks for the insight into health finance. Hope springs though eh? Hallo everyone else!!!

Viper ditto – I'D see a dr if I were you. I temp personally but as I sleep badly and also am on clomid my temps are all over the place. Feather (WELCOME BACK! Hope you're OK) I get a dip the day before usually.

…which is why I'M hoping that ov hasn't happened yet after yesterday's meltdown. Still feeling randy though – although no MrN til tomorrow, and of course I can't have a wank in case I get acid flaps.

nolly acid flaps?? Ploise explain!!!

a mad friend of mine wondered if I was wanking too much as it can - according to her - turn your bits vinegary which of course kills the jizz. She's mad. This was a couple of days back - you've missed some choice chat ;)

nolly best thing I've heard all week. Gold!

Nolly, literally laughed out loud at acid flaps!!

No poas for me tomorrow. Going to try to hold out. I'm sure AF will make an appearance shortly. My LP has been really short since the mmc, so expecting it today or tomorrow (11 or 12 dpo, shocking!)

Sprayed out my drink at that nolly!!!! Acid flaps!!!! Hahahahahahaha! Apparently feather, nolly hasn't had a baby yet as she has made her nether regions too acidic from too much self pleasuring (according to a helpful friend of hers).

Sorry feather I meant to say on last post to you that temp dip pre ov can occur.

Nolly, I'm in Wirral but treatment if go for ivf will be Liverpool.

Ps. I vote ACID FLAPS to make it into the next thread title

Pop some b6 win

I mean tomorrow or the day after!! Maybe bedtime off me!!

Cross posts with various there!

For me! Damn it!

feather will you get a break from it soon? A weekend away before the wedding? It's horrible when everything feels like it's building up. I was stressing today, too many early mornings to get to the hospital, plus workload and handing in notice etc. Went for a meal out with DH this evening, last minute decision. We also declared a phone amnesty, had to leave them at home . It worked, felt good to be able to talk to him properly about the blood tests today and my concerns about the timing.

Not so good is the fact that I'm now feeling sick . Like, going to bed with a sick bowl just in case level of sickness .

hold out wino. here for the mental.

not surprised you're feeling stressed barking. I'd be exhausted - in the true sense, not just tired. Hope it's not food poisoning.

tried to find a cheering emoticon but is the best I can do

Oh bushy I'm so thrilled for you! I was beginning to think you'd disappeared! fingers crossed for a sticky one. The chopper is ready when you are up to it x
What's next? Do you have bloods or just a scan in 2 weeks time?

Hugs feather

Welcome Chloe I am a berry graduate, ivf ICSI worked for me but I pop by now and again to see what my lovely berries are up to.

nolly again with the vintages bits [snigger]

barking feel better soon my dear! hope tomorrow brings good news!

barking no time for a break before our three day honeymoon! It's not a proper one which we'll do in the summer. Go follie go! Wishing you all the goodness for this round. And hope you're feeling better soon!

bunny! How long do you have now?? Soon, right?

Yet Bushy am so very happy for you. All the info you posted about your IVF has been very interesting and reassuring for me.

barking I would be very happy to join your cluster diff

feather weddings can be stressful on their own without ttc and everything else you have going on. Looking back to mine 2.5 yrs ago I was worried I might get diffed (3 mths after stopping pill but not ttc) as we had skiing booked as part of honeymoon. As it turns out here we are about to start IVF.

chloe if you are short protocol when is your EC expected to be? Mine is w/c 23rd June. Seems like ages away but the drugs were all finally delivered today so it is finally now all real. Have just been trying very hard to get over this cold so I can sniff drugs ok on Monday morning.

Only one more day until the weekend

Waaaaaaahooooo! Bushy!!! CONGRATS! So over the moon for you I love a positive test from the berries. What a lovely dh too getting an frer in of his own accord!

I can't believe I've missed about 4 pages in a day!! So sorry if I miss anyone but...

Barking sorry it wasn't the day for trigger, but fx for tomorrow - willing your follie on!

Chloe welcome and sorry you've had to join us but these ladies are amazingly supportive and lovely.

Win POAS!! 11/12 day LP is still long enough....

Feather so sorry you are having a rough time, if there's anything in particular you want to rant about go for it! Everything will come together for your wedding (which autocorrected to "wee dong"!?! Wtf) and you will be gorgeous which is the main thing

Nolly awful stress with your family, hope you are ok. Also hope your acid flaps are not giving you any jip tonight

Lumen hope you are better for starting your IVF.

Bunny and kitty hope you are both well and having good pregnancies

Funky the forms aren't too bad actually just a bit weird but short enough. It still takes a little while to jump through all of the hoops so although we were top of the list in early April, it's taken 2 months nearly to get a first appointment!

Cheers to the start of the cluster diffage!

Guys forgive me for being dumb but not actually sure what/ where the chopper is, I take it it's another thread that you move onto... Doth it mean that I am now barred or will you mind if I stick around. You've all become such a big part of my life, I really look forward to coming on here & catching up on everything and you give me such laughs- acid flaps what a cracker!!! It's my first foray into stuff like this and (whispers) what I like is apart from the bum bullets, waxy seepage and acidic undercarriages,you're pretty normal.Maybe we should get a big litmus test for nolly's bits!!

I'm not sure what's next bunny, I was meant to wait to the w/e to retest so I might use my other one then and ring fc with result and then they book you in for a scan. I have no idea how pg it makes me ( sounds very odd that!!) what with the Ivf and I'm a little scared to find out, don't think I'm ready to let go and believe it as have had so much disappointment before. Thank you for the yays, cluster diff for berries-CLUSTERDIFF, CLUSTERDIFF, CLUSTERDIFF!!!

Hope you feel better barking, it's so much effort all these early morning appointments, must be very draining on you. I went to see my chiropractor last night and was so knotted up that she had to use acupuncture. She told me I was really dehydrated, may be the the Ivf meds, they do say to drink lots during treatment and in 2ww so drink up hb. Also chiropractor said to me you are going to start taking it easier now!! I said are you asking or telling!! I haven't done yoga since before treatment but just said to her that I've been too busy to go. I do want to go back and might on Tuesday as it's the more gentle class, but bit worried re it being suitable, suppose the only way is to tell the instructor.

feather sounds like a manic time for you.

Glad I've been helpful lumen, (doffs cap) x x

Bushy, congratulations! That's wonderful news. I'm so happy for you.

Feather, sorry things are touch at the moment. Sounds like you have a lot going on. Be kind to yourself.

Nolly, thanks for thinking of me and for the entertainment. Things slightly better today, someone at work said I was amazing so that helped ;) but bad news was that truly lovely SIL suffered mc (again). I am really sad for her.

Barking, fingers crossed for your follie tomorrow.

Arr thank you rosie. Glad to hear you're feeling better. So sorry to hear about your sister in law.

Go follie, go follie, go follie!

beaky all well thanks! Hoping not to be pg for much longer!

bushy congrats!!!! The copter is just here when you're read I was told not to go yoga strait away although the fcs all say different! I thinking depends on what mood takes them!

Bushy stick around as long as you need to. Straddle both threads if necessary. It was actually me that set up the helicopter thread last summer when I had my bfp as we'd had the last cluster diff and there was early pg stuff I was stressing over but I didn't want to be insensitive and start going on about it on here.

This thread is moving bloomin quickly! Can you all please send good vibes to my estrogen?! It needs to be 750 when they test it today! Don't want my folly going mouldy while my hormones catch up!

I'm glad the hospital isn't an hour's drive away at least, that would be a nightmare every morning.

rain so sorry about your SiL .
