Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

Ermmmmm, I have no idea, I know things like yoghurt can help with thrush in erm.... other places, not sure about about the ahem, mouth

Am quite pleased to boast I don't ever seem to get thrush, anywhere...!

Why don't you ring a chemist, they should be able to tell you, and you don't have to tell them your name or anything...

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 17:04

Good idea nat.... I am not sure if that is what I have but dp has called me today to tell me that he has it on his bits and i have woken up with a sore throat (well I dont have to spell it out do I)

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:06

LOL I love all the caring and sharing on here

Where else would you get such a detailed conversation about thrush?!!

I'd ring the chemist.

Is it really bad?

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 17:11

No not at all, I am only concerned as he has it otherwise I wouldn't be bothered by it.

Chemist says that as I am TTC I need to go to GP as I can not take the tablets available over the counter.

I think I might die of shame [shame] still it might be just a sore throat if not I am not mentioning where I might have got it from... [cry]

MoosMa · 07/04/2008 17:14

Oh dear poor you LL, DH got his treat then?

Babies sometimes get it in their mouths and I think you get gel for it. Be sure to send DH for some cream too, but not adjacent appointments or the doc'll be ing at you both!

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:16

Sorry but PMSL

I am sure you won't need to tell him exactly how you got it.... He will probably already know...!! LOL

Sorry, of course he won't, you could have got it through all sorts of things.

I'd get it sorted sooner rather than later though, if nothing else it will start to make you feel down and crappy soon enough, just like any infection would.

Oh forgot to say, doinking till CD18 should cover it.

I found a thread earlier that I earmarked, all about EWCM, thought it might come in usefull for some of us on here. Will go find it....

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:17

Here it is, some good advice on there, not for thrush, just the EWCM!

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 17:18

Thanks MoosaMa and Nat. I have called the GP and the earliest he can see me is Wednesday.

DP is using cream so doesn't need to see GP.

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:23

So does the thrush get you out of doing these ahem.... favours for a while I am thinking how I can get thrush in my mouth to get me out of the next one at the end of the month!!

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 17:26

The shame of it all.....

It wasn't even his scheduled one, (he had already had that)?. It will teach me for trying to cheer him up about his job.... never again.....

Oh on the plus side he is happy to carry on TTC, we went through all the options and he agreed that we should carry on..

YouCantTeuchThis · 07/04/2008 17:28

LL, sorry but hee hee!! Ahem...I have heard grapeseed oil is meant tohelp but I have no idea what you do with it. A natural yoghurt, swished around your mouth as you eat, may help re-balance the good/bad bacteria. I think you can get an antifungal gargley thing which is used by pregnant women so should be ok for ttc...Nistyn or something, Nystatin?!

I am, by the way, hugely imperssed by your marathon sex record...

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:31

Oh wow, worth the thrush then !!

Love the scheduled sex acts LOL

Well after my very rude giggle, I am going to sod off and do tea, is it too early for wine? Just a little bit with lemonade?

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 17:53

Thanks Teuch.. I am going to lock for some of that gargley tomorrow (at a different chemist than the one i went to today). And some natural yoghurt.

It is never to early for wine Nat, enjoy your evening. I cant even kiss my dd just incase i do have it....

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 17:59

I didn't even wait for the MN seal of approval half a glass of wine and lemonade is sunk already, can you tell it is the school holidays? Do wonder how it's going be with 3 here, esp. in the 6 weeks hols

Poor things, there isn't much we can do though, especially with the weather so crap.

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 18:02

I know can you believe snow in April...... It is brilliant sunshine here at the moment but was snowing an hour ago. Crazy weather or what.

kayzisexpecting · 07/04/2008 18:11

Hello,

Doc was fine, made a MW appointment for next Wednesday at 2.

Now at Mum's as she asked me for dinner. I bought her 2 bunches of flowers, 1 from ds and 1 from the new baby!!

LOL, poor you LL.

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 18:22

I will never be able to meet up with any of you in RL now, the embarrassment would be too much to take.

kayzisexpecting · 07/04/2008 18:24

We've all done silly things.

We have to have a meet up. It would be so much fun.

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 18:27

What is mum cooking for dinner Kay??? What did she say about your news?

kayzisexpecting · 07/04/2008 18:29

Spag Bol! Yummy!!!

She is very happy, but she agrees with me that I need to be very very healthy with this one or I'll be the size of a house afterwards.

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 18:30

I went mad when pg with dd and put on 5 stone. I wont be doing that again either..

kayzisexpecting · 07/04/2008 18:31

I put on 4 and I haven't lost any of it. So I have to hope I crave salad

lardylumps · 07/04/2008 18:37

I am having salad tonight with mackerel... Brain food.....

NatalieJane · 07/04/2008 18:38

Awww Kay, what did DH say about you telling her? You got around his disaproval quickly!! Glad the appointment went well

DH is home, but is out playing in the garden, must be mad, it is freezing out there!

I am about to get my second glass, and chill out for 1/2 hour whilst they are out yipeeeeeeee!! I have a date with my book Albeit for 1/2 an hour!
