Eh I'm in a grump, I text my pregnant friend to say sorry that I'd been a bit of a prat lately (ignoring her and telling her I didn't want to hang out as a group) and she read it but never replied, but then posted her newest scan picture to the group chat on facebook. I can't decide if I'm a mug or she's a twat.

She's a twat Juney definitely. What's wrong with people?!

Been pondering, hope someone can help... The period like cramps that precede af.... If I'm getting them 7-10 days before af - what does this mean? This happens often, so not a pregnancy sign, but was wondering why it happens and if it's ok?
Surely a little bean would have no chance to stick if my uterus is busy contracting? Xx

BowiesJumper · 25/02/2015 17:55

She's a twat juney, that's my judgement!

No idea sammy, i've been having twinges.. wouldn't go so far as to say cramps. But I don't know if that's because the pregnancy IS sticking, or because it's decided not to!

auroraboringalis · 25/02/2015 18:00

I am too lazy to google it think it must be the original way of spelling. I have no clue. I just went with what came automatically from my fingers. How would Paul and Mary spell it? Better yet, how would Sue Perkins spell it?
Oh and twat.
Anybody else getting irritated by the mn Rachel reeves advert filling up half their mobile screen? Or just me then? Angry

eskimolaura · 25/02/2015 18:09

Juney She's a twat. Even if she hadn't posted the scan, she's a twat for reading your message and not replying. So, by posting the scan, she's a double twat.

I've just got back from the doctor's. It wasn't the same doctor as last time. I told him that I hadn't had a natural period for as long as I can remember. He asked me if I was willing to try Norethisterone again to try and 'straighten things out'. As far as I can see, it would only bring on another withdrawal bleed, but I agreed and he said that if that doesn't work, I would be referred to Gyno. At which point, I asked him if I could be referred anyway instead of taking the Norethisterone and he said yes.

So I'm being referred. I didn't ask many questions after that, but does anyone know what will happen now? The appointment could take 4-6 weeks, but at least I know I have that, even if AF doesn't show up. Was going to leave it until Friday, but what Purdey said made me take some action.

I suppose there is still time for AF to turn up. Really hope she does it soon. Got home from the doctor's and a bag of internet cheapies had arrived on the doormat so I did one and it was BFN. At least I know that there really is nothing I can do now other than sit tight and wait for my appointment.

FX for anyone testing soon x x x

juneybean · 25/02/2015 18:13

Thanks guys, it's really annoying me (I'm such a ruminator!)

sammy I have had twinges since last week but I'm trying not to get too excited!

Glad you're being referred eskimo

Sparkly, I so hope you can tolerate the helsinkibongopingpong. I don't know the difference between that and a hycosy, I'm sorry. It would be great to know your uterus is in good nick and hospitable Smile

Thanks to all who mourned with me re plummeting temps. I wish my period would just hurry up. What a drag.

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 18:18

Lerryn is so sweet and I love Demelza. That photo of Lerryn is just gorgeous and Cornwall is one of the reasons I am determined to go back to work; I have never been daaaarn saaaaaarf. I want to take Nancy on caravanning holidays in Cornwall and Devon etc.

Bowie, spotting in early pregnancy is enormously common, but that won't stop you menkulling. All you can do is watch and wait Thanks We are here when you are afraid or want to ask the same questions over and over.

Scrunchie, I really want this to be a bfp for you.

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 18:24

Aurora, it is I who should be banging my head against the wall (but I won't coz it hurts, innit). When will I realise that clever and witty women do not misspell algerivum?

Juney, she is an ungracious twat. You are clever and witty and probably beautiful and she's just jealous that she has made her heterosexual bed and will never feel the shiver of your tongue upon her slick and throbbing.......sorry, getting carried away with me Sapphic literature there. Yeah..forget the slag.

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 18:27

Yes, Aurora, I am fed up of that pop-up fing an' all. Especially as I said to myself, initially: 'Oh, how lovely, a chance to chat with that there paralysed Superman', until I realised that a) Superman is a man and b) he's dead.

Evening ladies, I've been awol so long you've almost filled up another thread.

I'm CD12 so have just been twiddling my thumbs and waiting for signs of fertile phase. Anyway was just hanging up the washing and wondered how you all are getting on. How many dpo are you now juney? ps agree that your friend is being a test. Thanks

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 18:38

Put that frigging washing down and come and chat Brew

juneybean · 25/02/2015 18:41

boosk 9dpo, feels like forever 'til test date :( you must be nearly fertile at cd12??

I think I need a takeaway tonight... the eggy wants it...

BowiesJumper · 25/02/2015 18:43

Aw thanks purdey. I know there's nothing to be done. And I'll try not to obsess too much. What will be will be.

Nomio230 · 25/02/2015 18:44

Definitely a twat juney. Don't worry though, we all love you.

eskimo I am really pleased that you have seen someone who took your worries seriously. If I remember rightly the gynae clinic will probably want more blood. They seem to like repeating tests you have already had. They will weigh & measure you to check your BMI is ok & then you might have the pleasure of a dildocam or a Hysterosalpingogram. (I copied & pasted to make sure I spelled it properly!)

purds I am so sorry your temp has dropped. It doesn't mean it won't happen for you though, it just means that it didn't this month. Don't give up hope.

sparkly my hsg wasn't too bad. It was a bit uncomfortable, then I had cramps for a few hours, but just took Ibuprofen. It is not a nice experience, but nothing to be terrified about.

For those of you wondering about the difference between the two, I found this.

HOW DOES A HYCOSY PROCEDURE COMPARE TO THE TRADITIONAL HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAM (HSG)?

A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is performed using iodine contrast and X-ray. It is the traditional method used to assess tubal patency.

Studies have shown that the HyCoSy procedure is as reliable as the more traditional HSG in assessing tubal patency.

Advantages of HyCoSy compared to HSG include:

HyCoSy does not use radiation or ionising contrast material.
Many women find HyCoSy less painful than HSG.
Small lesions in the endometrial cavity such as polyps may be better demonstrated with HyCoSy.
HyCoSy can assess submucous fibroids protruding into the endometrial cavity for intramural components thus assisting plans for surgical removal.
Congenital uterine abnormalities may be better assessed with HyCoSy as the external contour of the uterus is viewed on ultrasound but not on X-ray. This can help define the exact type of congenital uterine abnormality.

mummyofonesofar · 25/02/2015 18:46

Eskimo glad you've got the referral, shame about the wait though! You'll be on like CD15689 by then!

Juney yup she's a twat - I hate when people read then don't reply. Especially rude as you apologised.

juneybean · 25/02/2015 18:46

Ooo thanks Nomio I had the HSG and it was most uncomfortable because I let a student do it

bowies I really hope your spotting doesn't mean anything. Flowers

Boosk · 25/02/2015 18:51

Thanks purdey, making myself comfy with the cat on my lap.

Nearly there then juney! When are you planning on testing so I can stalk you and see how you get on

juneybean · 25/02/2015 18:52

Sparkly, I'm cd6, what day are you on? I hope you're feeling a bit better. The dinner sounds lovely, right up my street. I make a lovely quinoa salad with fennel and pomegranate sends, even dp likes itGrin

Boosk · 25/02/2015 18:56

I'll be back Sunday then Juney, good luck. I might have ovd by then too. Fx for you Thanks Thanks

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 18:59

Eskimo, hurrah for not accepting more useless Northwesthistamine!
