A supportive and slightly fluffy thread for those dealing with the issues of ttc longterm, whether with assisted fertility or not.

Waiting that sounds like a lovely menu! Hope it was a beautiful day for your walk and you saw plenty of deer.

Pink, make sure you're drinking loads and loads of water, just being really well hydrated helps with constipation. And fibre... dried fruit is good... I think prunes are the classic but personally I think they're disgusting, maybe you don't mind them though! Each day without bleeding is a good sign!

Thanks infamous, means a lot :) Wine was nice and all but I was feeling a bit bummed today - maybe I'd been more subconsciously hopeful than I'd realised if that makes sense?! Anyway, onwards and upwards.

Hope everyone is having a lovely sunday night, keeping cosy and chilled, and as infamous says this is another week of good news.

Thanks summer hubby said a nice strong coffee... Show what he knows Hmm

I'm alright now cramping on and off but no bleeding it should come Tuesday if its anything like last time.. I'm so scared its unreal! Sad fingers crossed another week on the sofa will help it along a bit

Hi pink , I had my gallbladder out in may in emergancy surgery and apparently my bowels went into shock. No poo for 2wks I could have cried! Ended up on medication but I was told orange juice was good....and have you tried weetabix, shredded weat etc ( my dh swears by them) crossing my fingers on all accounts for you!

pinkapples · 01/10/2012 08:23

Safe to say constipation is over... For now Hmm

In other news MAY have a mega mega faint BFP this morning. Not getting excited as this is how the last pregnancy started (faint then miscarriage) but will wait now till Sunday hopefully there should be no bleeding fingers crossed hang off on the congrats please ladies Grin

Hope everyone has a lively Monday planned I'm off surprise surprise Grin

summerintherosegarden · 01/10/2012 09:20

Ok no congrats just a very, very quiet (you can barely hear me) hooray.

And fingers crossed.

And it's a beautiful morning so I think October's going to be a really good month.

:)

queenrollo · 01/10/2012 09:51

just popping in to say I'm crossing my fingers for you pink

Mands81 · 01/10/2012 11:13

Massive fingers crossed and positive vibes for you pink, keep us posted Smile x

HaveALittleFaith · 01/10/2012 11:22

Good luck pink!

pinkapples · 01/10/2012 11:40

Fingers crossed Grin

ChairOfTheBored · 01/10/2012 16:59

No congrats from me, but am dancing silent jig of hope...

Feeling more positive today, after a grumpy Sunday where we went shopping along with every pregnant woman in the county (it seems there was some kind of baby fair on in the shopping centre). Two lots of appointments this week for me, including the apprehensively awaited appointment with 'dildocam' on Friday. Mercifully we have a fun rest of the day planned, so I can just get it over and done with, then enjoy some pampering.

Hope all is well with the other inhabitants of the hut.

waitingtobeamummy · 01/10/2012 17:56

chair I've got that on weds! Last time they put the condom on it infront of me and I made a very innapropriate comment Blush
pink no congrats here but I am walking home from work and nearly cried for you!

pinkapples · 01/10/2012 18:07

Hehe they put condoms in mine too I can imagine that would be quite funny may we ask what the comment was Grin

Thanks everyone will test again (if no blood) on Thursday and then Sunday (the day the hospital said to test) 3 days between is good I think x

flixy102 · 01/10/2012 18:13
Smile

Eek!!!! Grin

Devilforasideboard · 01/10/2012 18:16

I am not congratulating you either Smile but I have everything crossed xx

I'm off for my day 0 scan tomorrow - I'm assuming that'll be a dildocam job as well?

pinkapples · 01/10/2012 18:32

Yup devil, dildocam coming your way I haven't yet had a scan that's not a dildocam Sad was very shocked 2 yrs ago when I turned up ill never forget when the nurse said empty your bladder please it's internal Hmm
Won't forget that in a hurry Grin

ChairOfTheBored · 01/10/2012 18:37

The only positive is that I can pee as much as I like before hand - the idea of drinking 2 pints of water and then not peeing for an hour is only mildly less pleasant for me than the appropriately sheathed camera!

delilahbelle · 01/10/2012 19:32

Keeping my fingers crossed pink Wink

Phoned the clinic, they were going to phone me back with the results but nothing yet. Grr... I just want to get started with the IVF now.

Evening ladies, I know what you mean Summer, I imagine every one in the hut has had off days and quite a few of them. It?s the hardest thing me and my partner ever had to do that?s for sure. In fact it?s surprising relationships last through all this emotional torture! Hi Pink, got everything tightly crossed for you Smile. Delilah, hope you hear some news tomorrow! Hi Chair, glad you?re feeling more positive, good luck with the appointments Smile x

waitingtobeamummy · 01/10/2012 20:01

I said "can I have a ribbed one please?" Blush I don't know what came over me, I just talk lots when I'm nervous :)

pinkapples · 01/10/2012 20:03

Hehe GrinGrinGrin I would have found that hilarious!

waitingtobeamummy · 01/10/2012 20:10

Apparently sonographers don't have a sense of humour :)

ChairOfTheBored · 01/10/2012 20:30

That's very funny - it would certainly have made me Grin. I too have a tendency to talk before thinking so goodness knows what I might come out with!!

summerintherosegarden · 01/10/2012 22:14

Waiting Grin that's hilarious, I reckon my nurse would haved liked that, I think she's got a sense of humour.
Sadly (or not) I didn't get a condom on mine, it looked more like a plastic bag...

Anyway, enjoy your dildocams this week ladies..

Flixy love how are you? Any changes with hormone levels or are you in waiting for AF to show up limbo?

pinkapples · 02/10/2012 07:41

9dt5dt and another BFP for me in that I don't need to squint to look at it eekkkk I'm havinga restful 5 days and hopeful will be darker by Sunday Grin

Devilforasideboard · 02/10/2012 08:49

I knew you'd crack Grin

Also Grin at Waiting, something similar popped into my head but I don't think the nice lady doing the scan would have appreciated it either!
