My autocorrect is clearly fooked this morning. pregmancy? Wtf is pregmancy? Is it an upduffed man?

nightandthelight · 10/04/2015 08:45

Loving the idea of a pregmancy, would be so nice to pass this all over to DH aux :) Glad to hear your dc survived your drug habit Grin back pain has improved a bit this morning, I find that things always seem at their worst in the middle of the night! Love a St Bernard me, very good for burying your face in!

For ladies with long cycles and missing periods (not the post-mc ladies), what do you think of this? I find it very, very interesting (and am tempted to take it myself due to its hormone-balancing and insulin-reducing properties:

nightandthelight · 10/04/2015 09:30

How exciting Tessie! Fx for you :) when are you going to test? Sadly I have only had the opportunity to bury my face in a St Bernard once, have to make do with my cats :(

purdiepie · 10/04/2015 09:39

Sparkly, I just think that mc's mess with our hormones for several months after. In order for a woman to fall pregnant, it is important that the female hormones are in balance. If one of the female hormones are imbalanced, the function or production of other hormones may be compromised. I'm convinced mc's knock these off balance. Contrary to popular belief that we are über fertile for the three months following a mc it is my belief that it can take up to six or seven months for the hormones to re-balance themselves. This is just my opinion and it is why I think this is simply a waiting game for you, my love. I am just worried that your spotting is a factor, despite the blood coming whilst your temps are still high. I don't like how you are simply told this is 'fine' and nothing to worry about, rather than a fertility clinician explaining what blood loss several days before AF means physiologically.

frogbubbles · 10/04/2015 09:41

Aw night sorry to hear all your pains. Where are you at in your cycle now? It's all sounding promising eek!!

Vic your naughty dreams have me chuckling.

frogbubbles · 10/04/2015 09:44

Purdie I Am very interesting in that!

Pikz · 10/04/2015 09:57

Tessie and night v exciting
Pixa am starting temping as my thermometer arrived yesterday

Eod since cd11 is tiring but glad I have done now just to nail last few days!

purdiepie · 10/04/2015 10:04

Pixa, please report back after your analysis of said shite, although I will be ignoring all herbal and anecdotal 'evidence'. Hard drugs is what I'm after. Rock 'ard.

Nomio, my dad has had a hard life which I wouldn't wish on anyone. His mental health issues and umpteen suicide attempts (four of which were seen by my sister and I) were, to me, unbearable, so I cannot imagine what it was like for him. In the bad old days they simply used to plonk him on a bed and give him electric shock treatment whilst he bit down on a strap. Proper brutal and heartbreaking. My earliest memory of my dad is of us visiting him in the psychiatric ward after one such treatment and he was clutching a ceramic necklace he was in the middle of making as part of some craft session and he was just pouring drool out of the corner of his mouth. I honestly can't watch One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest because of these memories. I was only about four.

He only got a handle on his mental health in his fifties and his sixties are proving to be happy for him. I love him, because he is so making up for the selfishness (illness-induced or not) and cruelty of his past. He paid for Nancy. I would be childless without my dad. Fact. I understand his vulnerability and weakness and selfishness and addiction-driven neuroses. I understand - first hand - how intense anxiety and fear about life and oneself can lead us to behave recklessly and selfishly and to partake in dysfunctional sexual behaviour. I understand all these things because of my alcoholism and my own, at times, extreme sexual predilections. Most of all I understand the utter joy of forgiveness and a family bringing me back into the fold with more love and understanding and trust and pride than ever before. That's what I offer my dad these days, because he's my dad, innit.

tessiegirl · 10/04/2015 10:06

Oh thanks lovelies, I'm feeling bloody sick with nerves!! It's the lack of spotting that is making me wonder, together with the temp rise this morning. I don't know if I can handle seeing that one line like before and trying to convince myself I see a second when I most probably didn't Confused and taking apart the test...it sent me a little crazy.... Sad

spinningirl10 · 10/04/2015 10:08

Morning Smile

Thanks for all the well wishes. On the M25 now so not too much further. It's so warm in the car with the sun coming in and my sis is squashed in next to me wearing a yetty jumper!!
Had a quick look back for bfps. Keeping fx for you NightSmile

tessiegirl · 10/04/2015 10:08

Ah bless you Purdie

DizzyMerry · 10/04/2015 10:11

Night and tessie I hope it's a bfp for you both and anyone else testing in the next few days. If I don't get upduffed soon I shall be making a formal complaint night due to the sheer exhaustion of trying every month!

Haha at pregmancy!!! How would they cope?!

Purdie thanks for the links. I have been having a read and looks like it's worth a shot. Have read they help with low amh levels as they improve the quality of eggs. I am very tempted.

One of the GP's from my surgery phoned me this morning about some leg pain I have on and off. She prescribed more pills but has referred me to physio just in case. Anyway! She said other GP would like to discuss blood results with me, I said yes I know have an appointment for Monday. She then rushed off and as the idiot I am I only thought about asking her for the results after the call!!! Doubt she would have given them to me but I've lost the chance to ask. Never mind will have to wait it out.

Mummyofonesofar · 10/04/2015 10:13

Tessie temp rise that late on is a good sign! When will you poas? Also I hate ironing – I got most of the way through mine of Sunday but I normally leave it to DP but he refused it as he couldn’t remember me doing it at all yet in 2015….

Pixa Spa trip! Sounds lush – we try to get away for DPs birthday in Feb but missed it this year due to his DF being in hospital, we may try it for my birthday in August as we are not planning a holiday. I always have to organise them though as he is not naturally romantic.

Purdey your poor Dad, that treatment for MH issues was awful. But poor you and your sister, that is not a way to see a parent!! I wish you hadn’t had to see that. I am glad you found God (though I am not ‘Goddy’ myself) I really think it has helped you and anything that gets us through the really dark times is wonderful. Of course they accepted you back with open arms, you’re Purdie! Wonderful amazing PurdiePie Families are there to support us when they can’t always protect us. That is the kind of parent I try to be and hope I always will be. We can say things like “don’t make the same mistakes I did” and hope they listen but to be understanding and caring is the best thing we can wish for. Flowers

FOUR MAGNUMS FOR £1.67 IN ICELAND NOW!

victoria401 · 10/04/2015 10:19

Hope today goes well spinning x

How exciting for you Tessie! Will you test tomorrow?

Yes the guy in work is hot. In my dream I melted into his arms claiming I'd always loved him then we were under the sheets naked but I wouldn't let him go near my foof. Then he found it and went "urgh its hairy!" But then luckily evil cow from work came in and said "i knew it, I saw this coming!" Then she refused to leave the room whilst I looked for my bra! Luckily the guy isn't in today, the shame!

purdiepie · 10/04/2015 10:21

Tessie! Please post a photo of your chart!

tessiegirl · 10/04/2015 10:22

Thanks DizzyMerry and Mummy. I guess I have in my head I would test before we come back home tomorrow but as night has said I could join her testing on Sunday... Confused

purdiepie · 10/04/2015 10:23

Spinning, thinking of you lots, my love Thanks

What is 'ironing'?

tessiegirl · 10/04/2015 10:25

Haha!! Naughty Victoria!!! wink

Will post my chart Purdie but am scared of jinxing things...let me see if spotting starts today
