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

Aromatherapy massages sound lush glittery. I have an appointment for acupuncture on Saturday and the lady is also qualified in herbal medicine. She specialises in fertility and wants to see my chart. Will see how it goes.

Hairstylisttoboris · 12/05/2015 13:43

purds call him back and tell him that under maritime salvage law he is entitled to 1/5th of his find; so he should extract his 5th and send the rest to Central government. The cebtral give now needs all the resource it can get.

Hairstylisttoboris · 12/05/2015 13:44

Oh ffs
The central government now need all the resource they can get

Doing complaint responses, anyone fancy swapping jobs? Am happy to deal with washed up laptops Grin

Rainy34 · 12/05/2015 15:33

Just been to the doctor for day 3 and 21 blood test results

Doctor is happy with my results and says my progesterone is 27nmol at day 21 and suggests that i have ovulated, i have other reading but dont really understand them, DH just has to do his sample and then she will refer us to fertility clinic. she just kept saying have lots and lots of sex

purdiepie · 12/05/2015 15:43

Glittery, why you asking for sperm when you are awash with menses? I did wonder whether the laptop had an owner who is currently drifting to Blackpool.

I hate this job. It is just awful.

Please someone let me know if you've contacted Sparkly privately. I am worried about her enormously but don't wish to harass her if she's being inundated. Thanks.

purdiepie · 12/05/2015 15:47

boz, love it

Rainy, it is debatable whether you have ov'd with that score. Do you chart your temps?

Rainy34 · 12/05/2015 16:10

Purdie i started to temp but i keep forgetting, the doctor said that my score would indicate ovulation and that they have changed it to 30 as the score used to be 24!!, the thing is doctors don't really specialise in fertility so she may not know it does say on the paper work
serum progesterone (blantern) book appointment with gp progesterone interpretation 27nmol

everything else says normal no action, so you may be onto something, once the fertility clinic gets my notes they should be able to have a better indication

purdiepie · 12/05/2015 17:18

Dear Katarina,

Is it any wonder I am xenophobic.

Purdeh.

Pixa · 12/05/2015 17:29

I am so pleased it isn't just me who saw the Sperm in the dessert.

Spinning - I hate leakage incidents! Envious of you wearing sunglasses all day!

Purdie I am not a fan of a winking face in work emails. I have my fingers crossed that it all goes well for you, and quickly too! I haven't messaged Sparkly, but I am worried about her. Has she been AWOL for long before I returned?

I love a good egg house.

Melon BFN sucks. Sad Flowers

Glittery I am howling at your porn spotting.

Lucie sorry that you couldn't get your appt. 't is always a huge frustration when you can't see your GP.

Boris I undoubtedly hate short deadlines like that. Fingers crossed a new job comes up for you soon.

DizzyMerry I would try anything at this stage! Acupuncture sounds like you will get some reflection and relaxation time too. Glittery yes to aromatherapy massages!

Rainy the 'have lots and lots of sex' line gets old really quickly. I don't know anything about scores, I really wish I was more knowledgeable on these things so I could offer a more supportive hand.

Thank you Ibeka, Woolly, Tessie, Purdie, Mummy, Lucie, and DizzyMerry. Your kind words have all been appreciated. I spoke to the doctor today, she was really supportive. She said she understands my concerns, told me that up to two years [shocked] is quite normal for a first child. I need to keep trying, but if in three months there has been no change, she will start the ball rolling with tests and a referral to the clinic. She said there is no harm in DH asking for a SA; the clinic will ask for information about it anyway and will ask about undescended testis. We talked about general lifestyle; eating well, exercising, reducing stress etc. Was quite good to know that we can get the ball rolling with DHs SA to get it ruled out and to know that we can get tests in three months if needed, with no messing about.

Pixa · 12/05/2015 17:59

We need to liven this bus up. Shall I make some brownies and cocktails? Mimosa bar anyone?

glitteryflange · 12/05/2015 18:37

Purds DH has his sperm analysis today. We just rushed it to homerton hospital. Hence why he was at home having a five finger shuffle. His balls hurt now apparently. What a sissy.

I haven't PM'd Sparkly. I think of her everyday though. Hope she is ok. Sad

Figroller · 12/05/2015 19:00

Glittery I get ewcm day after af finishes too but not sure if it is normal??

Sorry for bfn Melon

Glad your gp seemed supportive Pixa and has offered more tests in the future if needed.

Thermometer arrived today so I can start temping tomorrow yay! CD6. Any tips? I know I am supposed to take it at the same time everyday I am thinking 6am as that is what time I set alarm for work. Do I have to take it as soon as I wake and if I wake early do I take it early Confused

DizzyNorthernBird · 12/05/2015 19:06

purdeh you were enjoying your job t'other day, what happened?

I keep thinking about sparkly too. This isn't like her, I hope she's doing ok.

glittery men are all sissies when it comes to cock related matters. My DP was moaning this cycle because we dtd four times and he had sore balls. Four times!

So AF is really fucking me about. A little bit more brown spotting today, then nothing, now watery pink. Two days of spotting isn't unheard of but not for months since I started the pre conception vits. Usually AF comes a few hours after brown cm these days. I just know she's tormenting me......, daring me to poas only to laugh in my face and open up the floodgates. Well, fuck you AF , you ain't gonna break me. Getting a bit sick of running to the loo to knicker-check though Hmm

glitteryflange · 12/05/2015 19:09

Haha four times and his balls ached!
These poor men. They do have it tough don't they. Diddums!

nightandthelight · 12/05/2015 19:14

Just watched The Duff, suddenly my whole life makes sense Shock

DizzyMerry · 12/05/2015 19:20

Pixa your appointment seems to have gone really well. It's great your DH can get SA done now as these things can take time. Three months will fly by and having a plan in place really helps. Hopefully you'll have your bfp by then but just focus on the fact that you're not far now.

Hope the SA results are good glittery.

Fig you should take your temp at the same time each day and ideally you should do it after having at least 3 hours of solid sleep. I think if you get up earlier and you know you won't get enough sleep then you should take it at the earlier time. I only started temping last month so hopefully one of the more knowledgable ladies will be along will advise shortly.

Hope sparkly is ok.

Oysterbabe · 12/05/2015 19:32

Alright gang?
I hope everyone is doing well and are happy and healthy.
Checking in from the beach in Barbados. Wedding and Honeymoon have been amazing and we've DTD at least once a day from CD7 until CD17, usually twice. No temping or opks but should cover it! I'll be back online and trying to catch up from Tuesday.

Nomio230 · 12/05/2015 19:34

Hi all,

AF arrived for me today, but I am actually feeling ok. I knew she was on the way & I am just super pleased with how well the progesterone has worked. I also weighed myself earlier & have lost 6lbs since being ill without even trying! Every cloud and all that!

Night, I watched that last week. DH was out & I felt like poo & it helped cheer me up!

Pixa, it sounds like you have a really understanding doctor. It is good to have a plan in place, although obviously you will be pregnant long before then. Smile

Dizzy, tell DH to man up & do his part!

I have spent the last three hours at the launderette washing our duvet & pillows. I felt like I was in Eastenders!

Did someone mention brownies & cocktails? Grin

nightandthelight · 12/05/2015 19:48

Bloomin' Nora oyster! No opks needed for you could ov anytime and be covered Grin

Pixa · 12/05/2015 19:58

Oyster I think you have highlighted that we all need second honeymoons! Ha ha. Hope you're having a great time. Grin

Nomio230 · 12/05/2015 20:02

Keep up the good work, Oyster!

The only time I got a BFP in four years was after being on holiday. I keep telling DH we need to go back, as it is cheaper than IVF!

Purdie, I was thinking of sending Sparkly a PM last night, but wanted to check with you guys first. I am worried about her & bean.

DizzyNorthernBird · 12/05/2015 20:16

oyster you are so gonna get up the duff!! Grin
