The Bumsnet/Angry Pubes Bus

[Mummyofonesofar]

If you can keep up with a bus that fills up in one weekend and chat shit then jump aboard the bus you are never allowed to leave! Trying to set a target for most BFPs on one bus!

No LPBs allowed!

##### STATS #####

And sparkly I heart your chart's hammocks!

Rainy, I'm totally grinning from ear to ear about your lack of spotting until 10dpo! What a result! Don't worry about the thread. These things happen and it's all okay because you would have to bit a bit stupid in the head to think we don't love and respect and want the best for the preggos who have graduated

I've been hounded into having my bum invaded by the BBC next Tuesday at 4pm. I have to fast completely from lunchtime the day before. Girls, I am literally going to find this impossible. Please don't tell me I won't because I will. I have never in my life (except when on amphetamines) not had food in my gob for more than three hours. I am really, really worried about the fasting part of this. Can someone reassure me? What can I practically do when the starvation kicks in? Do I visualise that I am an Ethiopian refugee and hope my stomach remembers how to live with famine? Should I erect a Bedouin tent in the yarden and attract some flies with one o' them sticky dangly strips of goo? HELP!

Where is Abi's supermarket? Kathmandu?

I used to starve myself Purds by eating tissues - perhaps regress to your teenage years and go on a food strike. Hate your self, your body and the world. Worked for me!

Me and DH went to homerton hospital last night for the information evening. The lecture room was packed. I sat there and looked around and just thought we are all here for one purpose. I never realised just how many people found it difficult. I feel sad but also reassured.

I am CD22 and a low empty circle on the CB dual which meant last Fridays peak was good and we shagged all weekend so hopefully I can poas on the 9th April and get a BFP. (arrgghhhh! cross your fanny flaps!)

think she is here:

oh bollocks.

Link fail!

aurora if you think your chart is shite look at mine, it's like the polar opposite of yours! At least you got a crosshair lol.

Maybe we should have a shite chart competition? jests

bfn for me

purdey is there a limit on what you can drink? can you fill yourself up with water?

Sorry to hear that Abi
I hope AF turns up quickly for you so you can crack on with trying again next month.

purdey: is this your first colonoscopy? I wouldn't worry about being hungry. you'll be spending most of the evening before drinking litres and litres of solution to clean you out, followed by an evening of pooping until it runs clear, and not trusting any farts. I'd advise you to get a laptop set up in the bathroom because you'll be in and out of there all evening (you can live post it for us).

Apart from a sore bum (vaseline yourself up good) the prep isn't too bad, but be warned they will know if you've eaten. I snuck in a trip to maccy ds as my last meal before the fast, all I'll say is that I now know sesame seeds do not break down during digestion.

Purds what. Ok. I can't . There's no way I can reassure you. I eat like every minute of the day. Constant! My dh doesn't understand where it goes. I'm such a guzzler! So.. I can't imagine fasting! Although I did do it before for the old endoscopy but I can't for the life of me remember how long it was for. All I know is you are a determined strong lass, so it shall be a piece of cake I'm sure.. Wrong time to use that analogy,no cake allowed!

Was it an ivf open evening glittery? Sorry I'm behind in who is doing what and where these days!

purdey I'm also an eat something every few hours person. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed under GA a couple of years back. I had to fast from 10pm the night before as I had morning slot. That's ok I would be sleeping right? Well that was fair enough if my op had been 8am when I had to be there but I was left hanging around until 11.58 or something similar wasting away in my gown. And then after coming round with a mouth full of blood and tissue packs I ate nothing the rest of the day week either! Good luck with it anyway. A colleague who is doing this wierd 5:2 diet said sipping water or sucking ice is meant to be good for staving off hunger pangs on the 'starvation' days.

Butterypants sesame seeds!!

victoria that sounds like hell!

Glittery glad the event reassured you!! Fingers crossed for 9th April! Wooo!

(because I saw them inside me watching the procedure on a screen, stoned off my tits and asking the Dr why she was so fascinated by bums)

they will fill you full of air so watch out for the mega farts afterwards!

It wasn't the best sparkly! Had to live off smooth soup and jelly for a fortnight as I couldn't get anything stuck in my gaping holes!

Victoria: 4 at once you brave lady!

Urgh Purds I rang the witch. I told her I have not been in ward 6 of late. She explained that my notes were there, in ward 6... I told her I had no idea why logistically they had got there as I hadn't been in since January with my early mc!!! I then proceeded to tell her I had been through this twice already with appointments with herself and the consultant. She then tried to cover up and say that she knew that as it's written in her notes and maybe my notes were back there because of some of the byproducts results came back and they were updating my notes yet there is no report in there?! Eh. What.. Three months later? No love. I then told her I saw the report as did herself and the consultant the day we went for our fertility app.. She said there was no report from this month.. Honestly. Tearing hair out! I just told her I had no idea why they would be there unless it was to do with the HSG last week.. She then quickly moved on to that. Saying tubes clear. And that I should be prepared for a possible BFP soon?! Because after the tubes are flushed she finds in the next two- three months she gets lots of reports of BFPs?! Mmm. Ok..
I explained how painful it was, she said she had lots of reports of that lately and she thinks it may be the brand of contrast dye being used?! .. Well change it!!!
Anyway.. So I have to continue with AI just now. And wait for consultant to contact me as she still hasn't spoken to the fertility treatment clinic for advice on what to do with me. We shall see.
I don't have confidence in this nurse. I feel she has no idea of my situation at all. She said I should prob do AI for two years. Last app she was talking about IVF! Anyway. I'm over it for today! Onwards to my BFP she can bugger off

They told me it was standard practice to do all 4 at once, it was only the bottom left that was causing me trouble!

I had a telescopic examination up the bottom but that was just looking at rectum, no further. All I had to do was drink fibrogel for 2 weeks prior to clear me out a little. They took a biopsy which didn't hurt at all, just a little tuggy feeling. After they put a plug of cotton in it and I wore a pad to catch anything else untoward that might fall out! (nothing did!)

I'm sure you won't need ivf sparkly luv. That nurse does sound crap. And not getting your results back from your 'products' in 3 months?! That doesn't sound right to me. I work in a lab where we do the tests and it should be a few weeks max. After the tests are done it goes off to be blessed by the hospital chaplain in case anyone was interested. Its all very respectful.

I have now had two baby bombs. One at work, and a Facebook one. Not goo. Then I feel guilty for feeling jealous and awful! Argh. Hope everyone else is having a better day. I did bring some joy to my office today, I played Easter bunny.

Thanks Purdey, I'm so pleased as well, I think af has got me , I don't have any cramp this time just feel washed out and tired, only thing is 10 day lunreal phase which is not great but I'm so pleased with the lack of spotting this month, I did not expect to catch the egg this month as my fertile week me and dh only did it very last minute on ovulation night as we were rowing over my fertile week, , iv scoffed a cream egg and loads of choc too ??

Sparkly Really sorry to hear that your experience with the nurse is being rubbish. Good to see you being positive about your onwards towards a BFP.
