Well that's good Smile
I'm going to mention it to the specialist in April anyway so will let you know what he says. Xx

nightandthelight · 07/03/2015 21:03

Brilliant thanks Sammy xx

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:09

MrsB, these are for you Thanks

Babs, I love you Thanks

Sparkly, are you cream-crackered from tot invasion? Grin

Juney, what do you mean when you say you are 'too googleable' to moan?

Spinning, I have found my recovery fairly easy thus far and I have a simple equation to explain why: alcohol = death. I'm not exaggerating when I say I will die if I go back to the booze - and it won't be organ failure (I have half a working liver), it will be because I will kill myself. I can't ever go back to that life or I will die and I can't leave Nancy without a mum. When I read this back to myself I find it hard to understand, then, how or why it can be the case that I have spent all afternoon fantasising about/thinking fond memories of being leathered. It is obscene that I can still want to get hold of a bottle of vodka and drink it down neat. If I close my eyes I can taste it. I can feel the burn of it. And I can remember those tranquil moments just before passing out, when I don't have a care in the world..

Anyway, you asked what I can do when I feel like this; I haven't felt the call of alcohol quite as keenly as I have done recently and I can only assume it is the life 'stuff' that's weighing me down and causing me to fantasis about blotting things out. It will pass Smile

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:12

...besides, I've been praying about it, that God will deliver me from these thoughts and let me see clearly. I know I'm in safe hands Smile

mrsb0710 · 07/03/2015 21:12

Thanks purdey and back at you. Life is shit at times, quite simply. But we pick up, and carry on, as the alternative is simply not an option.

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:16

mumof1sofar are you mummyofonesofar but with a slight name change?

Night are you able to disclose what your career is? Your DH is a trooper. How old was he when you married twelve?

Kissing, what a gorgeous thing to say Thanks I will wish for a bfp for you.

Where is Boris?

juneybean · 07/03/2015 21:18

purds I tend not to moan about bosses in case they find me (use the same username sometimes and am not very anonymous in my posting!)

nightandthelight · 07/03/2015 21:19

I am a healthcare manager purdey please don't hate me! I got a place on the NHS graduate scheme as it was prestigious enough to satisfy my parents. Hate my job though and am hoping to retrain as a counsellor :)

DH was 21 when he proposed and 22 when we got married. A mere baby Grin

Really hope that things start to improve for you soon, you are so amazingly strong, I stand I'm awe of you and so many ladies on this bus!

TerrysNo3 · 07/03/2015 21:21

Hello ladies, I'm a graduate of the buses and am now 13 weeks pregnant. I have a bag of about 20-30 one step ovulation tests and one clear blue digital pregnancy test. If anyone wants them then please pm me, although I won't be able to post them until Thursday or Friday.

Good luck to everyone! Smile

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:21

MrsB, yes, life can seem unbearably unfair at times and I think miscarriage is an absolute life-sapping and soul-destroying nightmare. It feels like a cruel joke has been played and I recall detesting women around me who were merrily falling pregnant. I starkly remember screaming 'Bloody fat slag!!' at the computer screen when, two weeks after my mmc was discovered at the eleven week scan, a fb acquaintance announced her accidental pregnancy. I felt much better after that.

Woolly84 · 07/03/2015 21:22

Hi everyone!
Tried to quickly catch up on the bus but didn't make it through all the posts I've missed!
We have some very strong ladies on here who have been through so much, very inspiring I think Flowers Smile
I met up with one of my besties today who sneakily got it out of me that we were ttc! Eek, don't mind her knowing but feels weird as it's just been between DH and I up to now!

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:26

Ah, Juney, I catch your drift. How're you feeling tonight, chicken?

Night, I don't hate you! You have done so, so well for your age (please don't feel patronised by that). I think you are doing precisely the right thing starting a family whilst you are young and with that great job under your belt.

Terry, congratulations and thanks for the offer but we are currently patenting a gadget that tells us if our egg has been fertilised before we get up and go for a post-coital wee.

mrsb0710 · 07/03/2015 21:30

purdey one of the good things to come.out of it - I learnt who I could lean on when the going got tough. Did a bit of life clean up, as hard as it was, didn't need people in my life who just didn't care. Just got to keep at it, and get support from.those who really mean it.

juneybean · 07/03/2015 21:30

purds feeling a bit meh today, just feel like I'm never gonna get pregnant and feeling woe is me! Think I might visit doctor is cycle 4 doesn't work :/ not sure if they will listen to me but I can't keep paying out every month! Enough about me are you okay love?

Congratulations terry what a lovely offer!

juneybean · 07/03/2015 21:32

I escaped work early tonight so pleased to be back in my own house (I usually sleep over if they're out late)

I know mumsnet tends to be an anonymous fora but if anyone would like to be fb/twitter friends I'd be up for that, I love you all, you keep me sane!

nightandthelight · 07/03/2015 21:37

Thanks purdey am definitely prioritising starting a family for now :)

nightandthelight · 07/03/2015 21:38

Flowers juney you will get your bfp!

Mumof1sofar · 07/03/2015 21:39

Sorry for your mmc mrsb Thanks

Purds - no we are different users with v similar names Smile

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:40

I want to be facebook friends with everyone here! I'm only friends with CoffeeTwo, coz we live close to each uvvers townz, innit. Juney, I will PM you my real name (and anyone else who wants to be friends on facecrack Smile)

Mumof1sofar · 07/03/2015 21:41

PS purdey I hope you have got good support & people you can speak to in RL. You seem like an amazingly strong woman & a great mum x

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:43

Juney, you do know, don't you, that fearing you will never have a baby has no bearing whatsoever on whether you will or not. There really is no point in giving head space to those irrational thoughts. This journey can take time for even the most 'normal' couples. Sit back and enjoy the ride with us. I'll be here until at least 2017. FACT. You won't be though.

P.s..what would you ask of your GP?

juneybean · 07/03/2015 21:45

Thanks purds. No idea what I'd ask the GP, maybe for a progesterone test as I don't think that was tested in my initial DIUI tests.

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:46

Mumof1, what an incredibly nice thing to say, thank you. Yes, I have got people to talk to. Unfortunately they are the voices in my head Grin

PurdeyBirdie · 07/03/2015 21:47

Are you saying you've never had the day 3 & 21 tests, Juney, during your IUI cycles?

juneybean · 07/03/2015 21:48

I can't remember :( I had blood tests but couldn't possibly say what day they were taken on (they were only done once so definitely not had both!)
