Hut of Gl/Doom tercera- We hate babydust and we don't care.

[duchesse]

I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

My typing also stinks

My 11 and 13 year olds were attacked by a bunch of yobs on their way home from school. The yobs wanted money. My (barely 5 ft) 13 yr old son was punched three times. I thought Devon was meant to be relatively safe. I am almost as pissed off with Britain as it's possible to be at the moment.

I have to go out now to my low wage sporadic employment, because as a qualified teacher and translator, that's all I can find in Devon at the moment. Am fecking pissed off, to put it mildly.

Good grief, the gloom is like a thick, dense fog in here this morning....or is it a joint puffing haze??
Am not amused by my facial egg-burns this morning........

Duchesse, no way! Your poor kids. That's really shit. REALLY really shit.

I thought the worst that'd happen in Devon was you'd step in cow shit, or have a dead (killed) magpie drop on your head.

Sunshine, thanks for your info, though that doesn't help me at all!! I still don't know which way the numbers would go. As for the FSH, I can't remember whether that came from the Day 1 or Day 21 test, but it was from last year. This year all that came back was the progesterone. How crap! Anyway, I assume I'll get fully MOTed by the fertility unit. When dp will probably be pregnant anyway, so the pressure will be off, that will make me get pregnant just by thinking about a man. Isn't that what people say?

I would definately like to create some hash haze. In RL I am experimenting with a grass/vodka concoction, because my poor o ld lungs can't take a good drag now... Roll on the camping months... I live a very healthy life then every now and then revert to my wicked old ways. They were SOOOO much fun. (Ahhh, rose-tinted reminiscent emoticon)

duchesse - bloody hell -what a nightmare - I am so sorry. Did they know the kids that did it??

Its well known for raining (killed) magpies in the west country

PMSL Imaptience

Anyone watch that programme last night on the families with a million children?.......alright, maybe a slight exageration there.....

No, which is probably a good thing because I'm sure I wouldn't feel kindly. I saw one the other day and I felt cross for all those kids who wouldn't get any proper parent time. I think the parents were talking about having their 13th. Surely this is bordering on neglect? It's all very unfair.

Sunshine: I think I get you now. Do you mean that the month you did the test a bit later than halfway through your luteal phase you got a lower reading? But then when you were in the middle you got a good one? Suggesting that progesterone drops...? If so, mine was definately in the second half of my luteal phase, so perhaps I can stop worrying myself.

Dp just said (well-meaningly) about her trying that it would be a good fertility test. Ie, if she conceives again really quickly then the problem DEFINATELY lies with me and not our donor. I know she meant well but I wanted to slap her! Can't complain really, she gave me a son without my nether regions being torn. AND she's making me lunch right now

Yeah - progesterone peaks a few days after ov then drops again (i think - I'm so down today I'm doubting my own existence)

I'll try and find a fancy graph and attempt a link... but don't hold your breath

BTW if you are not oving you might respond well to clomid... and GPs can prescribe it

How long is your cycle?

scroll down to graph

See what I mean?

So for 28 day cycle robots the highest level of progesterone is on day 21... for me it is about day 17

Sunshinedays - good link - coolnurse.com !!
she is a bit too perky and positive for me today though!!
I quote "The menstrual cycle doesn't have to be a drag, it actually shows how complex your body is and a sign that it is functioning properly! Congratulations, you are a woman and being a woman is terrific!"

NOT!! (wheres that dead magpie )

Bleugh. Didn't even read the blurb... did the graph make sense?

Duchesse - so sorry about your kids . I hope they are ok.

Seaside - can you send that chirpy nurse a quick cyberslap.

... anyway the link was for Impatience... stop being sooo nosey.

Forgot to say for Duchese. That's terrible.

I've a question for you lot - I seem to get mild cramps (there but not bad enought to take pain killers) for the 7 days pre af... this is probably made worse by my obsessive, desperate symptom spotting... but do any of you get this? I might soon add hypocondria to paranoia and depression.

sorry sunshine!! was only joking honest - just love the way all these websites are always so perky when we feel like poo about our stupid cycles!!!

it is a good link - and I was being nosey! I think the graph is useful I had day 21 test last month and result was OK but then I usually OV CD13 of 26 day cycle. It ssems you have to second guess the GPs now - so to get best result try and book in for test 7 days after ov regardless of CD? I only got the test done last month by knowingly booking the docs appointment for CD21 and then suggesting he do the test while I was in there.

Anyway my menstrual cycle is pants - it is all fine and dandy but still won't get me a baby after 18 months grrrrrrrrr

Sunshinedays, honey, I think you need a temporary name change to RainyNights! Not that I would be criticising you for feeling so rubbish, of course. This is the Hut, and life does indeed stink. Anyway, I love rainy nights. Poor you for feeling so rotten at the moment.

Thanks for the graph. It did indeed make sense, and is very reassuring because it clearly suggests that if I was 19.5 a few days after the peak I might well have been 30+ at peak. As for celebrating being such a complex beast, well perhaps I will if I ever make a creature appear from my nether regions.

Docs gave me a day 21 test and results were all rubbish, went to see a consultant who told me that a day 21 test is only really useful if you have a regular 28 day cycle so he sent me for a day 1-3 test (which I had today).
As for the Magpie, could you get an agressive cat? Magpie gone, no bad karma for you! I had one move in next to me - throughly depressed me. A few weeks later another moved in and I thought 'great, maybe some good luck!'
Then a week later the local council came and coppiced all the trees so the magpies (and their luck) have pissed off again. I wonder if I could sue?

BTW, MiserableStormyMorning, I also get period-like cramps on the week run-up to my period. Always interpret it as implanting/womb stretching one moment, then impending period the next. Yes, we are increasingly unhinged.

Don't know if you want to bother comparing your body to that of a reproductive-incompetent though.

So what is the rule on magpies? I'm piecing together 1 is unlucky, 2 is lucky, 3 you need to cross your fingers, or is that paving slabs, or ladders? I'm only superstitious when it comes to believing in the mindreading abilities of a mid-fallopian-tube egg.

1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a secret never told

(I think)
