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

Morning all!

Still haven't had time to catch up properly with you chatty chatty ladies yet!

boris sorry you're still feeling rough. Hope you're getting plenty of rest.

sparkly I think you asked a gazillion pages back how I'm doing. I'm good thanks! Busy decorating my hallway this weekend which I'm very excited about, I've never decorated before! I'm off to pick out potential paint contenders today. How are you doing? Is bean still sticking around? I hope you're well.

I haven't read back properly at all, however I believe a congratulations are in order for purdie! Well done on the new job! When do you start? I bet you're raring to go!

How is everyone else? Have I missed any bfps?

Aww boris coming down with a stinky bug
Lucie best of luck over there, had a friend who done the transfer a few times and has a beautiful baby now fx for some lovely eggs
You ladies were busy last night...was babysitting one of my little nephews - such fun, both watching Frozen and Despicable Me 2 next
sparkly hope you're feeling good and the days aren't dragging too much for you
night congrats on the house!!!! We've been in ours 3 yrs and it's still not sorted

My tits as absolutely 100% normal thanks purds is anything supposed to happen?

Wishing you millions of luck Lucie!

Happy weekend everyone x

Sorry to hear you are not well Boris :( hope you get better soon

Enjoy the decorating Dizzy!

Removal company got us mixed up with someone else and we are now two hours behind :(

purdie feminism is about CHOICE

I've been for a run and Jet washed the cars already this morning!

Lucie beSt of luck for today!

sparkly how are you feeling?

Anyone poas soon?

Both DH and I changed our names when we got married. I was Smith, he was Jones and we became Smith-Jones. Equalitty innit :)

Yes, Night, I would attest to that being equality. And if feminism is all about choice why are we always trying to 'save' prostitutes? Let them earn money, because that's the only thing that offers real choice

Boz, I'm sorry about AF. Did you have real hope this month?

Night, what a nightmare. Hope the rest of your move goes smoothly.

Chops, don't you know nuffink? They're supposed to be squirting milk out by now.

Morning

Haha Purdie, your post about fb made me laugh, tis very true

Hope you're keeping busy today Lucie, tomorrow will soon be here!

Night, how annoying, bloody idiots! Hope they don't keep you waiting too long.

Chops, yay stay here with us

Pixa, hope you had a lovely evening.

Ah I can't remember anything else. Why is no-one pering on a stick?! Who's next in line for a bfp?

Ok I have a stupid question given how long I've been ttc!
I should get my positive opk on cd 11 which is wednesday. Assuming that we can have sex for 3 days should we do tues, wed, thurs or wed, thurs, fri?

Spinners, why the merest hint of a each morning when you always used to give us such a beaming ? I'm only 4dpo What exercise are you doing today? I'm lifting these several times.

Spinster, if you can guarantee to have sex early on Thursday (day after ov) then go for Tues, Weds & Thurs. I not, do it Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Why Friday? The egg won't last that long from Wednesday. Mind you, the SMEP would tell you to shag three days straight from the pos opk.

Ignore my last post, I was thinking you will be ovulating Wednesday when that is actually when you expect your LH surge. So..dtd Weds, Thurs & Fri. Deffo and Saturday morning

Morning

That better Purdie? No reason, I shall change back
How is your Mum today? I love the video of Nancypants on FB, she's so gorgeous and I bet that will brighten your Mums day.

Thanks Purdie, wed/thurs/fri it is then.
Exercise, going to do something later, some intense abs I think. Ds has 2 friends for a sleep over later so I'm hoping I can do it without an audience of 8 year old boys!

Jesus I'm still in bed. It's Saturday! Working 12-12 today then day off tomorrow yayyy.

Good luck Lucie!!

I'm 6dpo so too early for a POAS here too.

I've been doing better with my exercise though, not much but it's a start!

Glittery hope dildocam is going well!!

Rainy hope today is good, sounds very interesting! Great knowledge to have!

Purds I'm ok..... Ish...!!! Next Friday I think it will be six weeks, although as I have no idea about pregnancy- I took that from my lmp? Help? I don't know what I'm doing! Or do I take it from OV? I had all the bad cramps the day of my BFP so a week ago .. Thereafter it's been niggly feelings from time to time. The main thing I feel is lower back pain? Yesterday I got through the whole day with one spot of reddish blood. One! I haven't tested again. I want to. But I'm terrified. I've been doing the whole positive visualisation thing which will obviously not change the outcome but it's keeping me sane. Ish.. How's you today ?! Do you start the job Monday?

Lucie positive positive positive vibes to you !!!

Choppers what's up with the AN threads? Stay here!!!! Wooooo!

Boris sorry for bfn. AF is late then? Hope you feel better my lovely

Dizzynorth good luck decorating!!

Yokyil I've still never watched frozen... I'm a complete outcast right? I want to watch it!!

Spinny wed thurs fri def! You prob OV Thursday right?

Night argh sorry about the mix up. You will get there in the end! How frustrating though!!

Morning gals.
Didn't get scanned at all in the end.
DH had mumps when he was younger and due to a few football knocks in the balls the fertility doctor wants to see his semen analysis before any dildo scans for me.
He also referred me to see a dietician and gave me a bit of a talk on my weight. I know I'm fat no need to ram it down my throat. Excuse the pun.
I feel so fat and disgusting and useless. I'm trying my hardest on fat fighters. No wonder so many people pay privately. He has rebooked my scan for July and I need to have bloods taken on day 2-4 of my next AF.
Mean while just keep shagging.

Shaved my fanny for nowt.

Hope everyone is okay today.x

And I need to loose 3stone by August. No pressure!!

Aww glittery I think we are the same size and it's bloody hard! What's your diet of choice?

Hi everyone; I overslept and nearly missed a whole beautiful morning!

Purdie Those names are from the MN 'Baby Names of the Day' They do different ones every day and 98% of the time they are ridiculous. Love the anecdote about the Everton supporter

Night Good luck with the move. How annoying that they have put you so late?

frog If you haven't heard back from the other admins, PM me. I can get you in [nudge, nudge, wink, wink] They're probably too busy answering the door to gypsies selling pegs and trying to tarmac our front yard.

I have some actual news! I got a letter through from my fertility consultant about my ultradildosoundscan and he says it was reported as normal! He 'looks forward to seeing me at my follow up appointment.' So that's good ain't it. Why then, is AF ignoring me like I am a naughty relative who has put the family name to shame?

Also, ladies I have a choice to make. DH suggested that, instead of going out to the cinema tonight, we should stay at home, put some logs on the chiminea sit outside, watching them burn and 'talk.' Not in a 'we need to have a serious discussion' kind of way, but in a 'we haven't had chance to spend much quality time together recently kind of way.' But I wanna go to the cinema, eat a shit-load of salted popcorn and watch wooden Keanu in a second rate film. What should I do?

Oh glittery sorry you didn't get a scan anyhow. And that you got a lecture. Did you say you've been trying to shift the weight? Is there a medical reason why it won't shift?

Aww, Glitz I am so sorry- we had crossed posts then. Here I am banging on about my scan when you have been shafted with yours. 3 stone in 4 months is really tough, but doable. Have you seen the NHS 12 week weight loss plan? If you type it into Google, it comes up and it's FAB! I lost a stone in two months with it last year and I was only following the eating part- not the exercise bit. With both, I'm sure you can shift it. x x x

Boris So sorry for AF dude

Glittery Here it is:

www.nhs.uk/Livewell/weight-loss-guide/Pages/losing-weight-getting-started.aspx

It has downloadable charts for every week. I printed them off, stuck them on the fridge and followed them religiously. Going to do it again this summer as I've now almost put back on the stone I lost, but it was a gradual loss and once the wedding was over, I didn't stick to it, so it's been a really gradual gain. It wasn't like I lost it quickly and then put it back on quickly, coz it's not a fad diet. It's just eating sensibly and doing some exercise x x

Glitterpants I'm so sorry my lovely what a rubbish start to your Sat! However!! Good that you are getting bloods.. Good that dh sperm sample is sorted and good that an actual scan is in place. These are all positive steps. I know you had your mind set on today being the scan and it's hard when these things don't happen but at least they are on the horizon and maybe your BFP shall pop up before then anyway! Regarding the weight- I can't imagine how hard it is and I know you are trying so hard. Stupid doctor making you feel bad. You will get there!! You will. Maybe the others advice is helpful about NHS diet etc. I have nothing to offer you because I have the opposite problem with weight but i know how draining it must be for you to keep trying and not achieve your goal. 3 stone seems a lot in such a short space of time. Hopefully the dieticians will be helpful. You are not useless. You are a gorgeous (I just know this, I don't need to see a Facebook pic) intelligent,bubbly lady and you can not render yourself disgusting and useless due to your weight. I won't have it! Come on girl we are all behind you, Keep focused that the tests are in hand, July is three cycles away. Sending
