Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

Oh Bucky but as everyone has said you ain't out of it yet! And those nails have got to be a symptom.

GG at your GP!

Catni Have a lovely time

I had to go to hospital again this morning (long story but I have been diagnosed with implaired glucose tolerance which can cause a lady to grow big babies ) and I had to share how I am for all my TTC buddies. I had to walk past the Early Pregnancy Unit and outside was a couple breathing in their last drags of their cigerattes, how bloody unfair is that! You ladies do everything you can to be as healthy as possible and it should be you that is pregnant it's not fair you deserve it!

Hi ei SH Lou mibbes DG and everyone else.

MOB I X Posted with you and didn't see your post. Good luck with your appointments if I don't remember nearer the time. I am thinking if AF turns up I might make that appointment SH suggested.

I have probably missed you but have a good holiday Caitni.

Did you really say all that GG? If so, good for you. I would say the doctor sounded like a w*nker but given all our predicaments and what our DH/DPs have to spend their time doing recently I think I will call him a donkey.

Well did a test again this morning, not really with FMU because the 3am thing happened again and I got up at 6am but it was a BFN all the same. That said, AF has not turned up and I am confused now. I got my on CD16. For the last 24 months that I have been checking I have had a 11 day LP. Today is CD29 . Can accupunture alter you LP? I had a bit of cramping and was sure AF was here but she isn't yet. I am sure she will turn up any minute but all the same why is my LP longer and can the egg hatch like 2 days after the surge???? Oh questions questions.....

Have a great time Caitni GG I am that your GP is such an incredible git, and at what he said to you, but I have to say I LMAO when I read what you said to him. Well, you don't need to deal with the twit again. I'd get another GP if I were you.

Continuing the theme of disappointing GPs, I decided to go see mine to get referred for a scan (since apparently I can't self-refer anywhere) and guess what? There are no appointments until September! God my GP is soooo badly organised. It's always a fight to get an appointment. Anyway I asked a GP to call me and when we spoke she agreed she would order the receptionists to find me a slot. I am going to call tomorrow but if they haven't sorted it a blistering letter will be going to the PCT and I will be going to the Portland. Fools.

Sounds like everything is moving forward well with the ICSI, MOB. I really hope it all goes well for you and your DH. He sounds like he will be a lovely daddy.

Bucky I think it is possible to ovulate 2 days after getting the - I think there is an explanation on peeonastick.com. I reckon also that if acupuncture can balance out your hormones it may well be capable of extending your luteal phase. That can only be a good thing, since a longer luteal phase will give a bean a better chance to implant. It will all come good for you .

Your story doesn't surprise me at all, MTW. When I went to the EPAU it was full of your girls stinking of fags. So unfair. I hope the pregnancy is going well and that you are not growing too much of a whopper!

Are you still lurking Pnm? I hope you're ok, and that the bats/duck etc are behaving.

And I also forgot to say hellooooo to Ei

And hi to everyone else too! God I am forgetful...

hi ladies
GG at your GP. if you didnt live so far away from me i would swear we had the same blardy GP!! mine is now withholding my repeat prescriptions for my thyroid medication i had to fight for the one i collected today as she wouldnt do it for me!! shes a bitch!! your GP sounds like a prize plum and i would be swiftly moving to a better one ASAP!!
bucky sorry about your BFN b ut it still wasnt FMU as you had already done a wee a few hours before. it needs to be held in for about 6 hours to be concentrated enough maybe wee in a pot at 3am tomorrow and do a test when you wake up again later good luck with testing again
hi to everyone
hi to the preggy ladies (that includes YOU SH)
xx ei xx

I agree with Ei re the wee Bucky. You should save your 3am wee in a pot and then test it when you get up if your period is still MIA.

But I used up my twinset . I don't have a test to use. So I will have to wait to Saturday if AF is still staying away.

Bucky - I have no idea on the luteal phase, but 8scary* sounded right. I am so sorry about another BFN . perhap sin the meantime, you could have a wee gin

Hmmm, yes, I did really say that to the GP. I said it rather calmly and in friendly manner. I was determined to keep my head and not lose my rag with him. I felt quite naughty saying "wanking" to my doctor [blsuh]. When he finished the conversation with "...remember to have sex", I could have clocked him there and then , but i was half way out the door and shaking a bit. He didn't take offence - I think he saw it as banter . I wasn't feeling great anyway and it just came out, but he was so bleedin' flippant! He has a way of making me feel like a 14 year old fool who is desperately over reacting .

DH was actually "wanking off as I speak" at the Hammersmith Hospital yesterday This one is the "Big Sperm Test" for us. We'll see if all DH's efforts have paid off with a radically improved count . DH hasn't had a sip of alcohol since 23rd June and had cut down radically before that, plus Man Vits, double helpings of broccoli every night, dozens of brazil nuts and so many seeds I'm surprised he hasn't germinated . Finger crossed there is some hope there (although i think that secretly DH is hoping that it hasn't made a blind bit of difference to his swimmers, so he can get started on the pints of Fosters and bacon sarnies again and forget devouring cruciferous vegetables by the tonne ). His results appointment is on 15th September and today was the second last day he could make his deposit at the sperm bank (the bank that likes to say yes, oh yes, yeeeeeees....YES!!! I know I've made that joke before, but, hey, I like it! ). I know sperm takes 90-ish days to form, and it's only been 60+ days, but hopefully we'll get some improvement?

scary and ei - we do have useless GP's . I cannot believe that a GP would withhold thyroid medication. That is outrageous .

picknmix - are you out there and lurking my lovely or having a break form us? Big (((((higs))))) to you. Come and shang out again here

lou and 07MTW - big hello to you two.

jolly - how are you now my dear? Has the hyper emesis calmed down and how is little jollybump? We miss you on here and you are always so positive and fun. Let me know what other books are good . I am now a Margaret Atwood addict.

MOB - have a lovely evening! catch you tomorrow

caitni - have fun in the boondocks and enjoy your break! Hope you come back with a BFP!

Sorry about another me me me me me me post everyone . Only CD8 today, so I am self obsessed without any symptoms yet. Only symptoms I have are nothing to do with TTC - my bleedin' arm still looks like is should be John Merrick's

GGx

I am being tortured.....AF is still NOT HERE!!!!! . I think the accupuncture has messed up my cycle....or corrected it if I am thinking postively.

How many days is it now since you got you Bucky?

I'm on CD30 and I am sure AF will turn up and embarrass my obsessing, but I don't feel like she is coming at all...Well it is only 8.55am I suppose . In my last ten cycles I have had one cycle over 30 days but I ov late.

Oct-Nov 2007 - 29 days ov CD18
Nov-Dec 2007 - 29 days ov CD18
Dec-Jan 2008 - 27 days ov CD16
Jan-Feb 2008 - 29 days ov CD18
Feb-Mar 2008 - 24 days ov CD13
Mar-Apr 2008 - 31 days ov CD20
Apr-May 2008 - 28 days ov CD17
May-Jun 2008 - 29 days ov CD18
Jun-Jul 2008 - 27 days ov CD16

And this month ov CD16 so where is AF? Even if I ov on CD18..two days after the on my OPK, AF should turn up today. The thing is I can feel ov now, and I know I ov on the CD16. I read your LP can vary by two days too so maybe the accupunture has lengthened my LP , but as you can see it has been pretty reliable up until now.

Sorry everyone, just humour me, when AF turns up later today this will be a waste of everyone's time but until she does I cannot help obsessing and feeling a bit of hope.....

We are all living in hope for you Bucky obssess away

Obsessing is what this thread is for...

I have the day off work too, so there is no hope for me today! I am still in my pyjamas. I think I will go and take a shower and do something with my day.

Instead of obsessively checking MN and analysing how my stomach feels every five minutes....

Crashing because this thread has been annoying me for months - I have to know what "WIMBEWAIF" and "WIMBEWAINF" stand for!!!!

Pleased to oblige FlamesSparrow

Where Is My Baby Exactly When All Is Fine?

Where Is My Baby Exactly When All Is Not Fine?

Quite a few of us on this thread have been on here for nearing a year now or more!

Awww I have no idea how you all stay sane xxxx

Oh golly bucky I've got my fingers crossed so hard for you! Eeek. I'd be obsessing like mad if I were you! I think acupuncture can lengthen the LP but as someone else said, that is a good thing is any case as it gives a longer timespan for implantation. The 3am weeing is a very good sign

Awww, you are sweet GG. Your DH has tried so hard he really deserves a fantastic result of his latest test. The jollycub is behaving itself at the moment, the sickness has calmed down and the kicks are getting stronger. I can now see movement of my tummy .

Oh and I forgot to say congrats to sarahnh . What lovely news!

Am I the only one who doesn't take care of their nails on this thread?! bucky with her acrylic nails, mibbes with her weekly manicures! I'm a slob!!

PnM We had a newt and a frog in our garden the other day, I thought of you and your wildlife spotting! Hope you are OK.

SH How are you feeling, any symptoms ? Hope your scan gets sorted.

Hello ei! How's the new job going?

Hello to everyone else!

My nails are uncared-for too, JB.

I need to VENT so here goes (and I am shouting!):

After the GP agreed I needed an appointment I heard nothing further so I called today and was told that unless I go this afternoon (they have a cancellation at 2) I can't have an appointment.

"But" said I "the GP is insistent that I should be given an appointment".

"Well there aren't any. You could try calling each morning next week and hope for a cancellation".

"Right, so if there isn't one, and I don't get my hospital appointment and things go horribly wrong as a result, what will happen then?"

...silence

"Well there aren't any appointments so there is nothing I can do."

"Can I have a copy of your complaints procedure please?"

I've had enough and so have booked to see a consultant at the Portland in a couple of weeks. I am seriously considering sending the PCT the bill, since this is utterly unacceptable.

Sorry for the post all about me. Am just really bleedin' cross.

Bucky - are you going to test again? I have EVERYTHING crossed for you!!! It sounds really hopeful. I don't know whather you remember, but back in about January my AF was three days later for no reason. I knew when I ovulated and my leuteal phase after many months for monitoring it. No explanation. Unfortunately, AF did turn up in my case (obviously ) after quite a lot of testing, but I am really hopeful for you.

Bleedin' 'ell scary - that's not very helpful of them (understatement!) Can your GP not ring and talk the hospital round? As far as I now they always keep scanning slots aside for emergencies and difficult cases (sister doc told me ). Maybe if you can get your GP to use her muscle they will find one next week? I honestly think all medical admin staff are simple taught to repeat the words "no" "impossible" "can't fit you in for [ ] weeks" "no appointments" "I can't do anything about that" "i don't know" "not my job". And i would send them the PCT the bill from the Portland

Jolly - my nails are a total state, so I am sure you can't be as bad as me. I have had one manicure in my life, when I was bridesmaid for a friend, but the manicurist must have been a YTS trainee or something. Rubbish. Oh, and I bite mine
hello to everyone else.

This might be my last post for a few weeks as today is my last day in the office, but I might try and log in from Bali to see how you are. There won't be anything for me to report, but I am CD9 today and the EWCM seems to be starting. Ha ha, I might see if DH wants to join the Mile High Club.....

Bucky - can you text me if there are any BFP's when I am away? I can't leave the WIMBEWAIF club alone

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend everyone

GGx

No, it's my GP I can't get to see. And they won't refer me without seeing me in the flesh!
The guidelines say GPs have to offer you an appointment within 24 hours, which they have (by offering me one at 2 today when I ahve to be in the office). But they are unable to give me an appointment next week which means I cannot plan, even though this is not an emergency (yet) and will only take 5 minutes. I am not amused and just don't need this hassle!

Afternoon all,

Scary hurray!!!!!!!!!!! What lovely lovely news. How frustrating of your doctors though. Big grrrrrrr at them.

GG Bali you lucky thing! Hope your DH's latest results come back positively, well done him you must be so proud of him.

Bucky have so many bits of me crossed am pratically turning purple - will have to keep checking back now!

Thanks for Wimbe explanation - I've been wondering that too!

Good luck everyone .

I am getting nesty already. My Dh keeps looking at me scrubbing cupboards and wonders whether to offer me bits of twigs and fur to start actually building a nest with.

Have a lovely holiday GG. Enjoy the child-free ones while you can, because this time next year everything could be different!

Any news Bucky?

Higs to the rest of you MOB and (the rest of ) our pregnant ladies and PicknMix (are you still about, poppet?) and Ei.

You know I find that whole babydust thing a bit cheesy, but consider yourselves sprinkled!
