Rainy I don't like people touching my feet either. I've never had a foot massage or a pedicure but I read up about reflexology and just decided to go for it as I have had a lot of fertility issues in the past and I'll do anything to prevent invasive investigations and treatments. Only had two sessions so far but will be interesting to see how I feel after a full cycle so will report back

juneybean · 28/03/2015 16:26

I'm bleeeeeeeding

Not sure what next step is, will look into options. Had contacted local super-donor but am very put off by his 55 offspring within a 50 mile radius.

Oysterbabe · 28/03/2015 16:31

Oh Juney :(
I'd lend you my OH if he was up for it.

mrsb0710 · 28/03/2015 16:32

Oh juney, I'm sorry Sad. Are you still.going out tonight, or just hibernating?

55?? Hmm. At least you know he has super swimmers, but that's quite a concentrated gene pool in an area.

MelonMelon · 28/03/2015 16:33

So sorry Juney that is Shit.

Sorry if I'm bring daft but did I read that there's an NHS sperm bank now?

DizzyNorthernBird · 28/03/2015 16:33

Thanks dizzym. Unfortunately for DP and I we're both quite hot headed which sometimes makes it difficult to chat like adults. We're equally petty sometimes. Plus we're stuck in this rut where DP immediately gets all defensive when I try to discuss some of our ongoing issues. I'm trying to find away to fix this. It doesn't help that i work in a male dominated job where I have to stick up for myself and not take any crap off men. Sometimes I think DP needs a 'yes darling, no darling' partner, which I am not. We'll get through it though! We always do!

I'm also icky about people touching my feet! Or, to be precise my toenails, which means I do my own pedicures. It's something that stems back from when I was a child and my mum used to clip my toenails for me.....I was always terrified she'd cut my toes!

DizzyNorthernBird · 28/03/2015 16:36

So sorry juney, I hope you find a solution soon Flowers. If superdonor is affordable and willing though, is he worth seriously considering?

DizzyMerry · 28/03/2015 16:39

Oh dear Dizzy I am the hot headed and mostly petty one in our relationship but have definitely mellowed down I think!
Juney sorry AF has arrived Sad

brickiemum2 · 28/03/2015 16:41

brickiemum2 · 28/03/2015 16:44

So sorry Juney have a Wine and some Cake xxx

Pixa · 28/03/2015 16:49

Juney I wish I had the right words that enabled me to give solace to you. Sad Flowers

Beansprout30 · 28/03/2015 16:49

Found you all, this bus is a great idea I was struggling to keep up before as would have to hop onto next bus but didn't want to miss anyone get their bfp on previous bus.

Flowers to juney sorry you are feeling down, a night out might be a good idea though, take your mind off things for a few hours? Though saying that, there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and having to make an effort to be happy when you just want to be at home. Hope something comes up for next cycle too x

sorry to purdey for the temp drop, and anyone else who the witch has caught up with

sparkly hope dh managed to get you a fresh sample!!

We must be due a bfp very soon?!

Dh and I are going to have a nice candle lit meal tonight, going to make an effort and dress up a bit even though we are only gonna be in the dining room Grin setting ourselves up for fertile week, hopefully this will get us off to a good start!

Oh stats..

Beansprout30, 31, ttc#1, cycle 10, bfp due 16th April

Wine cheers all

loopylou1984 · 28/03/2015 16:51

Oh Juney Hmm
So sorry. Xx

ThePug · 28/03/2015 16:52

Oh Juney , I'm so sad for you. Where did you find the superdonor man? Surely he can't be the only one! Or does he have an equivalent in another part of the country that wouldn't be so risky having all the offspring on your doorstep? Or can you ask him if he knows anyone else in the business (and offer him an introducer's fee/commission?)?

I made a chocolate microwave mug cake. This is a complete revelation as we only got a microwave a few weeks ago! Took 5 minutes and just the mug to wash up.

Beansprout30 · 28/03/2015 16:55

What's involved in choc mug cake pug?!

ThePug · 28/03/2015 16:59

Beansprout Whack a few tbsps of SR flour, cocoa, sugar, milk, veg oil and an egg into a mug, stir it all together then microwave for 4 minutes. Recipe Definitely wouldn't be allowed in the zen den as there are no redeeming vegetable-based features, would be amazing with some nutella put on top for last few seconds to make it a bit saucy.

Pixa · 28/03/2015 17:05

ThePug could try replacing cocoa with cacao powder, veg oil for coconut oil and maybe add in some desiccated coconut for a healthyish bounty flavour one. What do you think?

Beansprout30 · 28/03/2015 17:07

Bummer got no cocoa in, was going to give it a whirl. Have book marked the recipe though thanks!

PurdeyPie · 28/03/2015 17:09

Blimmin' Nora, Purply, that is one indecisive chart Hmm If I hadn't seen your pos opk I would have pinpointed ov at CD11. The next possible day is CD 17, but that is four days after the LH surge. FF certainly won't know what's hit it Hmm

Sparko! What an unmitigated disaster in Spunkland! Sad I would've been so Angry Didn't your fertility clinician tell you to ditch the catheter? That is doesn't result in higher conception rates?

Juney, I am sorry AF is imminent. Are you supposed to be dining with your MN bookclub? How exciting. I would lob some Solpadeine Max down me gob and go. Make sure you drink alcohol, too, 'cos you'll be off your head Smile

Toadie, ha! I've never done one o' them ninja fingies. Have you ever started a wee that turned into an unexpected poo? That's annoying when you're rushing for the bus

Is it lawful to have this many passengers on a bus?

nightandthelight · 28/03/2015 17:24

Really sorry juney Sad

The buns look amazing dojo, I made some last year and plan to do so again on Friday :)

Sparkly my lovely cycle buddy! Dtd going well. Going out for dinner tonight, will try and jump DH when we return. Glad to hear your last lot of sperms stayed in :)

PurdeyPie · 28/03/2015 17:25

Glittery, don't you have preposterously pendulous paps? Tame them titties, missus, or you'll have Postie's Jap's eye out!

Hairstylisttoboris · 28/03/2015 17:26

Flying visit. Just back from lunch with friends now out to inland for tea and on to a party for old people....

juney I'm so sorry. Wine for you and Cake big in mumsnetty hug. X

dojo123 · 28/03/2015 17:38

Oh juney I'm so sorry hun. Go have multiple large glasses of wine and try and form a new plan tomorrow. As above, sending you un mumsnetty hug.

spinningirl10 · 28/03/2015 17:42

Juney, so sorrySad definitely have a few drinks tonight and tomorrow we will help you find another super sperm donor.

Pixa, ah that sounds fab. Healthy body and mind have to help I thinkSmile
