Hello ladies,

Last bus looks full up. Unless there is a new one that I can't find...

giddy have fun!

I am debating what to have for dinner tonight. As I got a peak smiley this morning, is there anything in particular that I should have to help the egg on its journey? Bearing in mind that there's not a whole lot in the house, and I am thinking take-away (I've not had one for months!).

I also think that I may be addicted to the dull ache from acupuncture needles. Had my second session earlier and I love it!

MrsG23 · 06/02/2015 18:55

I'm off to start my first night shift of 3! Hoping it takes my mind off POAS! X

Weeee giddy-up! Jealous!

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 18:58

Juney that sounds delightful! Oh and I'm doing AI too and CB didn't ask how I was getting preggers so I don't imagine it will matter!!

Purdey none of them ! I like Calum but he's a bit of a bore for the winner. Cheggars naw. Michelle nae. Katie P... Where is she?!? And then there's Hopkins who has made the show let's be honest.so I'm thinking she's gonna win! Girl byyyyyye! (Can't stand Cami-Li!)

juneybean · 06/02/2015 19:01

Beans, nuts and eggs apparently Eskimo

juneybean · 06/02/2015 19:04

Oooh maybe I'll try then. They did another study last year but didn't want me when I said I was doing IUI but that was probably because off the medications!

eskimolaura · 06/02/2015 19:04

Hmm, judging by the look of the cupboard, that translates as beans on toast, scrambled egg and a Snickers for afters juney Hmm

juneybean · 06/02/2015 19:04

Sounds good to me!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 06/02/2015 19:07

I'm around for wittering purposes! DH has gone to watch the rugby at the pub, did not fancy it somehow.. Eating shepherds pie on the sofa more my style [rock n roll face]

spinningirl10 · 06/02/2015 19:09

Giddy, have a good night.

I want Calum to win or Katie Hopkins, I think it will be CalumSmile

CookieDough9 · 06/02/2015 19:09

I have endo too which was discovered by a lap. Had years of awful periods for years but stupidly didn't go to my GP until a few years ago, who wasn't too concerned anyway. Had an 8cm cyst removed and adhesions lasered off. It calmed right down when I had DD but started having heavier periods last summer, although my ovaries at recent ultrasound were said to be clear and now I generally have lighter periods.
I don't spot before AF but get a lot of cramping a week before

mummyofonesofar · 06/02/2015 19:25

Phew what an evening! Been rushing around like crazy to get fun inflatable swimming session fitted on before OH had a date with the boys at the pub to watch rugby. Very long overdue bless him. I'm snuggled on the sofa letting DS have a late night watching a film (daddy makes him go to bed on time even at the weekend Hmm) with a pint of....milkshake! Yum!!

mummyofonesofar · 06/02/2015 19:33

Ok I was busy shopping when CB lady rang and thought she meant results need to be kept in the fridge then posted...... Wee wee fridge. Nice!!

victoria401 · 06/02/2015 19:33

Wow MrsE hospitalised for ov pain!I get 2-4 days of ov pain but its a sharp side stab (always always left) and bubbly abdomen which hurts to sit down or move suddenly with! Plus it feels like I have more trouble peeing during it, really slow release... Most odd. Af pains are agony and I have fainted in the past. At the first signs I need to fill my face with both paracetamol and ibuprofen in order to function! But my flow is not heavy, 2 days of bleeding only followed by days of brown gunge. The pain lasts longer than the bleed! The fertility nurse suggested it may be endo but as it wasn't blocking my tubes they don't investigate further.

Lillygolightly · 06/02/2015 19:41

I don't know why and perhaps its the fact that I've just spent (prob too many pennies) on TTC stuff from Amazon but its sort of feeling like the whole TTC thing its hitting me today and starting to feel real.

DD1 - surprise pregnancy we weren't trying but I wasn't on the pill either (didn't think I could get pregnant due to previous illness) looking back on timescales it was 6 months before I fell pregnant....I couldn't believe it!

DD2 - planned pregnancy took 4 months of TTC to fall pregnant. Relaxed approach, all I did was estimate my Ovulation day/fertile time.

Even though I am only on my second cycle of TTC DC3, we didn't decide to TTC until midway through my previous cycle so other than testing for pregnancy I did nothing. Can't believe I am here....its frustrating but obv exciting too.

Sorry for this little rant....just felt I needed to share Blush

PurdeyBirdie · 06/02/2015 19:42

I wish, I wish, I WISH I could know for sure which side I ov from each month. Knowing my left tube is blocked is torture Sad What if I'm not ov-ing from the 'good' side? Why didn't I ever get a bfp in the fourteen months after my mmc? SadSad

victoria401 · 06/02/2015 19:48

Oh purdey Sad

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 19:50

Purdey sorry for being stupid here but can they check that- I mean do they know which side by scanning or anything?? I'm saying this month you are OVing from the good side!! Grin

Lily hope this happens very quickly for you this time!!! Exciting Smile

mummyofonesofar · 06/02/2015 19:50

Purdey we can't know for sure. Just think positive! X

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 19:52

Sorry to hear that Cookie it's so common isn't it but not many people know about it!

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 19:53

Just realised that sounds stupid Purdey as obviously you can't have a scan every month! I just wondered if there was any way of knowing.

CoffeeTwo · 06/02/2015 19:58

Purdey Flowers

Lillygolightly · 06/02/2015 20:00

Purdey that must be so frustrating as presumable you still get all the same ovulation signs no matter which tube/ovary its come from Sad

I wish there was a way that you could know every month as it would save all the disappointment, frustration, getting hopes up etc if you knew when there was a possibility of preg or not.

Lillygolightly · 06/02/2015 20:02

Thanks Sparkly I do too....would be typical to get a BFP on this cycle when I had just spent nearly 50 quid on stuff for next cycle. Not that I would mind of course Smile

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 20:09

Lily I had a meltdown last month three days before AF due as I knew she was coming -had all the signs- so I went and spent £40 on amazon.. Next day I got BFP! It didn't stick.. And I had a mc. However! The point is-- I totally thought I was out and did the same! You just never know! Wink
