The Rules of Bumsnet

You can shag, you can syringe, you can temp, you can OPK; as long as your aim is a BFP!

We're cliquey so fuck off. LPB will be annihilated.

Lovely mental image there, Rainy!

I suggested to DH that he should ust take a dirty magazine to the clinic & pop into the toilets, but he doesn't think he would be able to perform under those circumstances! Since when did men get so sensitive?!

Spinning, I hope DH gets on ok. Why is he being re-tested? Did he have a low result last time?

Nomio, I couldn't believe that dp managed it last time. He has performance issues sometimes, I couldn't think that sitting in a public toilet would help!

Haha Rainy Yes he has a low sperm count. I can't remember the numbers and I can't find where I wrote them down! I think it was around 13 million which sounds loads but it should be over 15 million I believe. He's been on loads of vitamins so we're hoping to see a difference.

Rainy, you are over the worst, which is relentless ttc month after month after month. You haven't been trying long in the grand scheme of things but I know eleven months feels like forever. I'll be interested to know what your day 3 & 21 tests results are.

Nomio, I also think you have OHSS. Where are you in your cycle now? It will be interesting to see how the progesterone helps, eh?

Spinning, you're sweet for asking about the job. I surreptitiously cleared my drawers tonight in case I never go back I tried to needle my line manager today just so I could get myself in the 'fuck you, you're an idiot' frame of mind for leaving. It wasn't hard. She started wittering on about all the long haul holidays she has her months-old babies on in the past and how impeccably they behaved on aeroplanes because, you know, a relentlessly screaming baby on a flight is just down to 'bad parenting'.

I told her I considered taking tiny tots on long-haul flights and hot beaches to be bad parenting and no amount of cajoling would placate a wailing tot who objected to being cocooned on an aeroplane for fourteen fucking hours with its ears popping. Fucking stupid, some people.

Hopefully it will be higher tomorrow, Spinning. 13 million still sounds pretty good though. It only takes one!

Sparkly, tomorrow will be fine, sweetheart. I will be thinking of you

Haha Purdie, oh well, if you do back next week you'll only have a 3 day week but at least you have your meeting tomorrow to see if it's going to be worth your while continuing. I don't think any amount of money is worth continuing if you're hearts not in it. Something else will come along for you and make you happy

In my last post I'm sure I've got the sperm info wrong, think it should be quite a lot more than 15 million! Purdie, Do you know?

Spinning/Nomio, my DH has performance issues (yes! really!) but rose to the occasion bloody magnificently over in t'Czech clinic once ensconced in the masterbatorium. He confessed they were the filthiest, most depraved porn mags he had seen in a long time (and he's travelled Asia).

Me: 'How depraved?'
DH: 'Well, not so much depraved, just... utter filth.'
Me: 'What kind of filth?'
DH: 'Well..you know...'
Me: 'No, I fucking don't know. Are we talking bestiality here or what? Table legs up arses? Filching? Double fisting? Tea-bagging horses? Scat?'
DH: 'Fucking hell, Purdie...I dread to think what you got up to in your past...'

Yes, 13 million is considered 'poor'. Anything

Mind you...look at Mr.Heirtoth'ironthrone and his 100% Elephant Man morphology. He can make babbies

I have done the desk clearing thing before, Purds. I think that is when you know that your heart is really not in it.

I am 1DPO now. I started on the Progesterone yesterday & am praying it works.

I am so glad you agree with me about the OHSS. Apart from the Dr earlier, I feel like everyone else has just been dismissing the idea.

What's OHSS?

Wotsits, you are back!!!

Thank you for the lovely messages yesterday ladies, today was a much better day!

pixa you'll be missed here lovely, I totally understand though, you need to refocus and have some time out from this exhausting journey. We're all here for you when you're ready to come back. Take care

nomio what a tough time you're going through, I really hope they get this scan sorted tomorrow

rainy it's friggin annoying when people say "relax and it will happen". No, you can't relax when it's on your mind 24/7 and it hurts like hell every cycle that you've tried and not succeeded. Look after yourself lovely and I hope tomorrow you feel a bit better

yokyil sore boobs sound hopeful fx for you!

sammy any sign of AF yet?! Hope the biatch stays away.

Oh night how you feeling now?

spinning I hope dh's test goes well

sparkly good luck for tomorrow lovely, I'm thinking of you, stay strong you amazing lady

purds you crack me up

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. It can happen with IVF & occasionally with Clomid.

wotsits!!!!

Ooh I've found dp's results!
Sperm 13 million
Morphology 5%
Motility 1.2 million.

Is it the total sperm count that needs improvement Purdie? Morphology is ok isn't it? I'm really hoping they've improved!

Ahhh my sister was 'over stimulated' first time with ivf. Would that be the same thing?

Yep I'm a lurker....but I like to keep informed he he. How is everyone?

Yep, same thing Wotsits.

How are things with you?

Good, thank you!!! I got my bfp!

wotsits you didn't find any of our other AWOL bus riders whilst lurking did you - marysprayer, beansprout?

Ah I've googled! 1.2 million motility is bad, it should be above 50% of the total sperm count. Will have to keep fx the vits have worked.

Wotsits, hello

Hi Woolly - no she's not here yet. Overnight tonight for sure.

Waves to wottsits! Xx
