Morning ladies,

I have been to see my new gp this morning for a bit of a whinge (oh and a little cry) and she basically thinks I should have stayed on the pill and tried straight off it since it worked last time! I can't help but agree with her but it's a bit late now

Anyway, despite us only being on cycle 7 she is going to do 21 day progesterone test plus test for LH and FSH and testosterone just to see if I have mild pcos. If I do she is going to prescribe me metaformin (will have a read up on that now). The basics are there - I'm young enough, fit and a healthy weight and we have dd so she thinks there is no reason why we can't have another.

She also told me to chill out. lol, as if I needed telling that! I'm in danger of becoming depressed again and that's not going to help. Any tips on taking my mind off it?! I'm in 2 minds about trying opks again...on one hand is it going to make me mental? But I feel like I need to be doing something (other than the obvious )

Sorry for the long message...

WW well at least the tests should put your mind at rest. For the rest..here I go again...perhaps you should try an hypnosis CD (they are my answer to everything these days...am even trying some for weight loss). I think natural hypno are doing a conception one. Otherwise, I would try reflexology, acupuncture etc...(a good excuse to treat yourself)

Also to take your mind of things perhaps start taking a manual hobbie like knitting or making your own jewellery. You really need to concentrate when you do those (and you get something nice at the end)...

Sorry if the above sounds silly but that is all I can think of

Thanks for adding me wwsw

Glad it kind of went well at docs in that at least she took you seriously and didn't think you were panicking too soon. It just feels good that they are doing something doesn't it?

I would be inclined to agree with hand with the relaxation, Maybe i'll dig out my natal hypno cd, have a listen, problem is I never get further than first session cos I keep falling asleep.

I'm at docs on Tuesday, I did a urine FSH today and that was neg again, (same as last month) so that's good, although it doesn't give you accurate levels so could still be borderline. I guess at my age, a neg is good. Hopefully she'll do the 21 day thingy, although I'm fairly certain i'm ov as been temping and getting definate differences.

Dh said last night, when do we have to start shagging for babies again cos I'd like to do it a couple of times for fun first, Bless him, maybe i won't tell him when it's important then he won't feel the pressure. Problem is you can't help it can you, it's fairly obvious when you know it's important. hehe

Feeling a bit more positive today, after seeing dizzy's devastating news last night, it kind of puts things into perspective a bit doesn't it?

Good luck to us all on this bus, lets all aim for the youngest in the school year.

liaghen I don't think it matters if you fall asleep it is actually an indication it works and that you are very relaxed...Good news about the FSH though.

I might have to go on the August bus as I think DH is away for D Day next month. Right I need a new name. I chose my name on a whim 5 long years ago and I have never really liked it. I don't like to be called Need, I don't like to be called Hand and I don't particularly like Needahand either..any suggestions...then I will need to work out a new name!

With regards to Dizzy, I never followed her thread (I tend to regularly flounce for a while then come back and be on mn like mad) but I think she went into pre-term labour didn't she. I read the thread last night and found it so so it must be so devastating

I guess that is the jist of the relaxation part of the cd.

Re your new name.. Do you have hobbies? interests? My name is made up of all our initials in age order, (baby is missing cos she wasn't born when I invented myself)

Lol at you flouncing I've never really flounced, felt I need a break sometimes but once the evening draws in, (she says at noon) and dh is sat in front of laptop building his new business I can hear Mn calling to me. And you guys are so fab at keeping me grounded

Ah thanks ladies. Might give hypno a go...I'm a mad gardener and it's the time of year I can be really busy and productive out there so that's going to keep me going this month. Also one of my friends wants to try belly dancing so that would be a laugh too! Can't afford regular reflexology at the mo, but I had it a few months ago and it obviously hasn't helped much!

good news on the fsh lia. My appt is 19 Oct which will be 24 days (coz my long cycle)and then the results take a week so by the time period is due again I should know if there are any problems.

lol need. My name is a bit of a piss take really from babycentre. On my regular board there we had a realy vicious piece of work and we managed to make her flounce. However she took mega offence at me and called me a witch (it's quite tame over there!) but I quite liked that and seeing as I do actually own a broomstick (due to aforementioned gardening) I've adopted it as my own

ooh, wwsw What have you in your garden at the mo? Are you a veggie grower or plants and such like?

I have just pulled out my courgette plant as think i've seen the last, am just making tomato and courgette risotto with the last few.

What can I plant at this time of year then?

oh and poor dizzy...so awful hope her bastard ex knows what he's done. ANyway.

I'm normally a flower/shrub type but have been having forays into veg We have strawberries and tomatoes (plum toms and cherry toms in hanging basket) and peas and salad things. Oh and chillies! The cherry toms have finished now, but the plum ones are still going! Had the last strawberry last week so just trying to decide what to do with them. You can grow some early types of carrots and potatoes I think, and brassicas can go in now. We just don't have the room for big leafy things! Me & a friend want an allotment...

I think I'll try and do some carrots in an old plastic dustbin over winter. Going to do some rocket on my kitchen windowsill over winter too. Got lots of shrubs to prune and pots to sort out, new bulbs to go in so plenty to do this month!

Also my ex is getting married so me & dh are having a dirty weekend away at a critical point, hurray!

Busy month!

Right I am now officially "Lifeistooshort" it is needahand by the way. And not I have no hobbies...I have no life me . I do really...I make jewellry and like martial arts.

And I am not exactly flouncing, nothing so dramatic (Just wanted to use the word) I just go through periods where I mn a lot and others when I simply don't have time or can't be bothered. It comes in phases a bit like this thread the otherday as to whether you ever outgrow mn.

WW belly dancing sounds absolutely fab! I actually love you name, it is one of the best.

It's just when I join I never really gave it a thought. Someone was asking some help and I was playing on words really

good name choice! It's my philosophy too Well we decided re the belly dancing, we have bellies so might as well make them work. Plus I think we both feel we could give Shakira a run for her money (hahahaha!)

Hi bus!

Would you add me to the list please stats bunny WWSW?

TeaFan TTC#1 Cycle 6 UCL28/29 CD1

It lovely to see you here Liahgen glad you're still along for the ride

InTheMidnightGarden i'm in the same boat as you TTC#1 thinking there should have been an accident before now but I don't think it means anything. Obviously I don't know your personal circumstances but we were using withdrawal most of the time and I was told by my practise nurse that it is actually quite a reliable method unless you fella is a 'dribbler'

I love my job me

There goes done now.

HI louja sorry you've had to jump on again...I think this is going to be a lucky ride for us this time!

Haha - as we have been using soooo much lube and didn't know it was a problem hopefully we will be more luckily now we have Zestica.

Have also been a gym bunny of late which I have enjoyed so we will see.

How are the rest of you feeling? Bought some chips on way home from gym mainly for DH but think hard work at gym might have been undone!

hi teafan, so relieved that its not just me thinking this. but my circumstanses (sp?) are a little different in that fact that we had no method.
since we started trying i have started to become a tad {but still happy for them at the same time} of 2 of my friends, who did get PG through accidents one of them was on the pill at the time, the other useing the withdrawl method. and i just can't help thinking why can't that be me.

Hello,
Can I hop on the bus please? My stats are:
TTC#2 UCL27/28 CD25

I currently have a cold/chest infection and am feeling really tired etc... trying to work out what could be early signs and what is just because I am not very well!!

Welcome pinkwine!

Feeling very tired! Weather is complete pants so I took dd up to the shops and bought her a coat and some new t shirts and things so she's all set now...and realised I have a friend coming over tonight to watch a film and I have no wine! Argh. Going to have to go back out in it to get some. Might as well get a pizza for tea while I'm out
