Bumsnet: we're raising our bums after TTC and waiting for our Angry Pubes.

[purdiepie]

Do you like feeling left out of a group? Do you enjoy being marginalised and isolated and picked-on? How about a good bullying? If so..you're in t'wrong place, cock, coz this 'ere is the TTC thread where you feel loved, embraced, encouraged, wanted, lusted after, admired, respected, thought-of with fondness, missed when you're away. We will even put up with your lazy, selfish bastard of a husband who would rather watch Chelsea romp through the Premiership than put a baby in your tum-tum.

Absolutely any old slag welcome, unless you already have a baby in your tum-tum and we're about as familiar with you as a condom. You can get lost

t'STATS, innit

Glittery a choice of circumcised and not on those cupcakes black and white how's that for equality! Haha. sparkly yours - hahaha. We do have bakers here that could for them a whirl so to speak.

Nomio how was the car? I'm trying to sell mine - it's hard work!!

Night cute about the house - it is gorgeous. The one with the bay windows right?

purdey thanks for sayin' summink nice. I am a miserable trout sometimes! Great comment from them!! You'll do great!! Why on argh are most people reading daily mail?!? Whenever my colleague tells me we are due a heatwave or snow in October I ask if it's the daily mail and it always is. And it's always bollocks. Anyone seen the YouTube video "it must be true because I heard it in the daily mail. Very funny.

rainy sorry about baby bomb! Not fair at all.

Lucie good luck wherever you are!

Rainy, that sucks!

I caught up with an old friend from uni that I haven't seen for about eight years. We took our toddlers to the zoo. It was lovely until he asked if we were thinking about number two (he has a week old baby at home) and when I said yes and we'd been trying for quite a while, he sort of shrugged and said they'd got pregnant immediately with both their kids. is that supposed to be a reassuring or supportive comment?!

Purdey, thems nice words from your new employer! Get in!

Sparkly, just adding my voice to the mix. I had practically nil pregnancy symptoms. Mild food aversion from about week 8, sense of smell increased then too. Nothing else, including sore boobs or nausea. So feeling unpregnant now is very normal. Congratulations, lady.

Remind me to upload a photo of my most recent knitting project. I could do with some ego stroking!

In the meantime, let me upload a photo of my very welcome temp rise this morning! The Clomid is doing something, never ovulated past cd15 before. Have also learnt my lesson and won't use the cbfm next cycle. I didn't even think it might be a problem.

sparkly and glittery barf those penis cakes! You dirty beasts!

Had to re-read glittery twice when she was talking aobut fingering herself...

Night how excited are you?! NEW HOUSE!!

I went to baby showers like 10 years ago, they weren't wanky or full of stupid games though.

mummy my kids are constantly asking "are you having a baby" its like no i'm not!! I'm very empty! Also well done for keeping stats updated

Also not staying off MN intentionally, just working like a horse this month due to school holidays (and struggle to catch up on my tablet and feel liek a twat when I just post "me me me" posts. No plan for next month but to take a break I think! also trying this dating lark

Butter I always get excited when I see someone mention The L Word. love that show

Oyster your temps don't look very high, are they normal for you?

ibeka and frog your blankets are gorgeous! So jealous of your crafty fingers!

wood not an implantation dip then?

Stop working so much, Juney, we miss you!

Mama, your friend sounds a bit insensitive. Hope you are ok.

I bought the car! It is a little Citroen C3 in a kind of apple green & I love it!

Ohh I love Citroens Nomio my first car was a citroen and lasted me for years!! I still miss it :(

MaMa, check out that chart! Check out that sex pattern! You'll have a baby in your tum-tum before you know it Please can we see that photo of your knitting?

I just happened to scroll really fast down the screen on my laptop a couple of pages back and all I could see was a blur of cocks and bellends. I shall pore over those later. I take it they're cakes and not your husbands' phalluses?

Juney, I am chuffed to hear you're sticking your tongue toe in the wetness waters of dating. Good for you! What stage are you at? Boaking at internet scrotes? Any hotties?

Nomio, YAAAAAAAY to house!

Daisy! What kind of exceptionally entitled c**t of an ingrate doesn't say thank you! Or even acknowledge receipt of said gifts! Aaaargh! I'm so cross ed pubes on your behalf

DizzyM, hurrah for excellent supp combo! Today I finalised my supp purchases. I am now on the following daily: folic acid, magnesium, 3 x brazil nuts, vit D + calcium, vit B Complex + C, Co-enzyme Q10 (400mg), Omega 3 fish oil and maca root When if I get a permanent contract from this job I'm going to buy DHEA, too.

The worst thing about these new-fangled baby showers-of-shit are those cakes you slice into that reveals sponge that is either pink of blue according to the gender of the baby in your tum-tum. The revelation of the sex is a surprise to the parents too: when they have their 20-week scan they tell the sonographer to keep her fecking observations to herself, but to write down the gender on a piece of paper and place it in a sealed envelope. The retarded couple then skip along to a bakery, hand their secret over the counter and order the appropriately-coloured sponge to be ready in time for their attention-seeking, Americanised horse shit shower.

Purdie massive congratulations on your job that's brilliant news! You must be so pleased with the feedback they have given you. Also thank you for your message to me, we have arrived safe and sound in brno and just settling into our little apartment, we have been out for a little wander this evening and all seemed good.

I've had a stressful few days to be honest as I went for my day 10 scan on Wednesday at my local clinic and the sonographer said she didn't think the response was very good for my age and if I were at their clinic that she would recommend I cancel and start over again. I was gutted. I had 9 follicles (8 at the original scan on day 8) and they had all grown but one large one seemed to have disappeared. I got in touch with the czech Dr and she said they thought I should carry on as they go for quality over quantity and I could get one good egg out of only 5 collected whereas someone else might get only one from 20 collected.

I asked the local clinic for a second opinion as the sonographer I had was different to the original one that I had on day 8. They agreed and I went back Wednesday afternoon and saw the original lady again. She measured 12 follicles this time instead of 9 in the morning and they were all a fair bit bigger again so I decided to carry on. I know I have at least 6 good ones with the potential for more so don't think it's too shabby at all.

I did my trigger shot tonight so that's the end of my injections. I'm in at 8am on Sunday morning for collection and then I've done all that I can.

Will keep you posted on how it goes and try to catch up on some more of this thread too x

Purdita have been texting lovely laydee for over a week non-stop... haven't met yet though!

Nomio! I meant 'yaaaaay!' to your new car!

Purdue you missed this morning that I dreamt you got your bfp!

Oh Lucie, best of luck! You have all of us rooting for you.

Nomio, I wasn't too stung by my friends insensitivity but it did make me eye roll. I'll cut him some slack because he's quite sleep deprived. (I'm too nice.)

Purdey, I just need to block the blanket I just knitted, then I'll post a photo.

Oh and we did the 'get the sonographer to write down the sex of the baby and put it in an envelope' thing, but then we stuck the envelope in a book in the cupboard and didn't look at it until the baby was about four months old. Those coloured cakes sound fucking GRIM. (My phone just capitalised that on its own, so I'm leaving it.)

LUCIEEEEEEE!! Thank you for tuning in. What a fright you had there with inept less-qualified sonographer bint lady! Phew! You're right to feel quietly confident there with those twelve follies. Even my super-duper, frighteningly-young and fecund egg donor only got us seven eggs - six of which were fertilised and became embryos. We lost a couple along the way, too, and only ended up with two AA hatching blastocysts of top-notch quality. Both were transferred and Nancy decided to stick it out! Will you be 'testing out' the HcG shot on the day of ET? I did and I found it had gone after three short days. It depends on the strength of the shot, though, as to how many days you would have to wait to see that line disappear from the pee stick.

Oh, Lucie, I'm so thrilled you've been brave enough to take this leap of faith. You won't regret having done this, you know; you are in amazingly talented hands. Good luck, my love

Juney, can you tell us more...? What do you talk about? Does it feel as though she's into you? I'll bet she's chompin' on t'bit to have them cute fangs o' yours in her neck.

What, in the name of Judy Finnigan's love eggs, are those cakes all about?? They look more real than 90% of the cocks I've had so that's about 225 then

Thank you purdie, some of the 12 follicles are probably too small to get an egg from but I would be thrilled if we got 7 or 8. The sonographer said I would only get 5 so I'm determined to prove her wrong!!

I definitely want to test out the trigger. I forgot to bring tests with me though. Do you think I should buy some out here or can I wait until I get home? Transfer is Friday and then flying home Saturday afternoon so would test Sunday morning? Maybe I will just buy some here?

Pikz! Eh? Whaaa..?! Have any of your dreams ever come true? You know I deplore listening to others' dreams, don't you? Well, I want to hear every fecking detail of this one...!

Pixa! Have a sumptuous weekend away! Are you ovulating?

I've made some cookies. Will upload a pic tomoz. I'm off to shave my knicker jungle. urgh lol x

Lucie, lovely to see you, so pleased you went ahead with it. You have to be in with a fab chance of some good ones when you're starting with 12. Wishing you lots of luck and enjoy your day trips

Juney, ooh this sounds exciting, will you meet up soon?

purds we talk shit mostly :P I dunno all feels very natural and not forced like most getting to you know chats. Does feel like she likes me though, although am worried after all this chatting we'll both disappoint each other in real life lol ack well!

spinning hopefully!

glittery don't clog the plughole love!

I haven't read back yet but Nomio my car (first and only) is a C3, I love it!!!!

Lucie, you will be fine just testing from Sunday afternoon when you get home. Listen, I still have my spreadsheet of how my embryos behaved on a daily basis in terms of cell division. If you want me to bore you with all that during the week you're getting daily updates about your embryos I'd be happy to - I would like to allay any fears you are having during that week because I found those days awaiting news from the clinic excruciating - and exciting too

Good luck with the scan tomorrow glittery!

Very very best of luck to you Lucie

My sack of opks arrived today. Obviously I wasn't feeling very optimistic when I clicked buy on eBay on the weekend! It came with 5 hpt so I peed on it. Still positive. Was beginning to think I made it up lol!

Glittery, here, use my 'razor'. Don't say I don't give you nowt.
