The Rules of Bumsnet

  1. Don't talk about Bumsnet
  2. Get the sperm in the hole
  3. Don't LPB. It's frowned upon.

Thanks ibeka you're right the worst she can says is no and then I will just sort something else out. At least I should be a bit clearer with what I'm doing tomorrow though which will probably help my sanity!

I don't really feel very strong to be honest. It's just like there's no alternative for me but to carry on.

Pixa · 11/05/2015 21:52

Please tell me I am not going insane. This dessert does look rather sperm like, doesn't it?

ibeka Can you see me? I'm under the 'T' in 'Waiting'. I've been here a while...

glitteryflange · 11/05/2015 21:59

Noooooo don't let the angry pube bus die!

Who else am I going to chat about CM & AF. Shock

I'm eating toast in bed.(had left over weight watcher points) brew too! Tis lovely. I'm grateful for waking up each day but I do love bedtime. Whipping off me Boulder Holder, throwing my Bridget's in the laundry bin. Getting on my jimmy's and ahhhhhhh! Smile

I bought myself an egg house today. How's that for random purchases.

DH will have a bitch fit! Grin

Pikz · 11/05/2015 22:07

That pud definitely looks like sperm

Eskimo I'm sat on the W swinging my legs... Wine gum?

I keep trying to catch up but can't remember anything.

Lucie big hugs

Sammy very excite for you

Spinning gutted :(

Dizzy and dizzy sorry for af

Sorry for everyone I've forgotten. Just trying to keep my eyes open long enough to dtd

Hoping for a temp rise tomorrow

ibeka · 11/05/2015 22:11

Oh yes, there you are eskimo! Fingers crossed your ride outta here arrives soon...

Yep, pixa, that dessert was definitely created by a TTCer.

flangy what is an egg house...?

lucie you may not feel strong but you are. And one day in the not-too-distant future you will have your child. When I was goggling 'miscarriage' a few weeks ago I kept coming across this poem. There are parts I really dislike but I feel the sentiment as a whole is very apt for you and other IVFers/long tme TTCers ambivalentjourney.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/i-will-be-a-wonderful-mother/

I've spent the evening looking after my parents ancient stinky labrador. He is so lovely. I am fairly certain I may not see him again and it breaks my heart. He was our family dog through some of my darkest days and at many times has been the only living being capable of putting a smile on my face. Sad

Figroller · 11/05/2015 22:18

Ooooh nooo please don't let the bus die. I only just joined and it would be like I killed it... Sad

Good luck for tomorrow Lucie if you don't ask you don't get so worth a try. Sorry you have been feeling down too, you seem very strong to me even though you may not feel it right now.

Flange I was wondering what an egg house is too?? Please tell.

lucieloos · 11/05/2015 22:24

Ohh thank you ibeka I really like that poem and I'm going to save it and read it again when things get hard. Thank you so much x

spinningirl10 · 11/05/2015 22:43

Evening allGrin

I've read back but I've had dp chatting away and I can't remember anything!

Lucie and Rainy, good luck with your appointments tomorrow. Good to hear you've got the ball rolling for your next ivf cycle Lucie.

Purdie, did you have a reply from the clinic about the donor?

We have to keep this bus going!! Let's get some more newbies on board, I'll need someone to keep me company when you all get your Bfps soon!

Af is really heavyHmm we went out for a long walk/hike today and then popped to the supermarket where I had an embarrassing leakage episode whilst wearing pale pink shorts!! I had to run out and leave dp at the checkout Blush

Nomio230 · 11/05/2015 22:46

Egg house? Confused

Glittery, I live for pyjama time!

Ibeka, I have often

Woolly84 · 11/05/2015 22:47

pixa it totes looks like a sperm! though we're all a bit biased here
Is it wrong that I still want to eat it though?!

glittery I think we all need to see this egg house you speak of! Is it a new TTC aid? Grin

ibeka lovely poem Smile

Nomio230 · 11/05/2015 22:49

Aargh, it posted too soon!

Often thought along those lines. I have wanted a baby for so long that mine will be the most treasured little thing ever.

Nomio230 · 11/05/2015 22:51

Lucie, you have every right to ask for this test, so don't be scared. Channel your inner Purdie!

lucieloos · 11/05/2015 23:21

Thanks Nomio will let you know how it goes tomorrow! x

autonomousplum · 12/05/2015 07:39

What is an egg house? Hmm Is it like a dolls house? Do you make the eggs kiss each other in the bedroom?
ibeka said it very well lucie Flowers
Yes purds any news from clinic?

Pixa · 12/05/2015 07:41

I have woken up far too nervous about this doctors appointment. I have the worst feeling that they're just going to reject DH and I for another three months. My concerns are; short cycles, painful sex around ovulation and DHs surgery. I haven't used any type of hormonal contraceptives in the past so there was no waiting for that to stop having an impact on my body. It shouldn't be taking this long. DH and I are both at different doctor doctors surgery's which is a pain. DHs appointment is on Thursday.

Pixa · 12/05/2015 07:45

Yes, beautiful poem Ibeka. Lucie, I will be thinking of you today. Flowers

Pixa · 12/05/2015 07:52

Oh! The good news is that we booked a holiday for three weeks time, just a mid-week break in a log cabin but I cannot wait. It I still don't have my bfp by then, do I ban DH from the hot tub and the jacuzzi style bath?! Grin

nightandthelight · 12/05/2015 08:09

Good luck today pixa and Rainy!

You broke my heart about the dog ibeka, I know what feeling that you will never seem them again all too well :( the joy they bring in their short lives is worth the horrific pain they leave though! Many hugs for you Flowers

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2015 08:14

MorningGrin

Pixa, good luck today. Don't be nervous, you have a right to voice your worries. Are you seeing a lady doc? I often find they are more caring. And yay for the log cabin break. Sounds lovely and I'd enjoy the hot tubSmile

Glittery, come back and spill the beans about the egg houseGrin

Where is Sparkly? Was she ill in the days I was offline? Hope all is well.

Af gave me a crap nights sleep and I have puffy eyes! Just as well I can wear sunglasses all day!

purdiepie · 12/05/2015 08:36

That egg house is eggcellent and I'm not yolking. Shell we go and look at it on fb? All white...

purdiepie · 12/05/2015 08:46

Pixa, do undescended testicles = less or no sperm? You haven't been ttc very long at all and I'm worried you will be very upset if they tell you to wait, however I am sure they will test dh to see if he is making sperm and that they are being released from the epididymis If not they can perform TESE or TESSE whereby the sperm is extracted from the testicles via operation and ivf performed. If all that fails there is donor sperm.

Lucie, I suspect you will have to go private for the hysteroscopy (like myself if I choose Gennet). The dye flush is unnecessary as they are not interested in your tubes for the purposes of ivf. It is always worth begging your gp though. Budgets have to be spent and you may as well be the benefactor.
