Early Pregnancy After IVF: Worry-warts and wimps gather to whimper and wobble.

[PramQueen1971]

Yes! Happy Birthday to me indeed! Fanks for all the I would say 'nom-nom' and 'it was awesome!' but I would have to stab myself for being an irritating twat. I digress..

Come here, ladies who have survived IVF and are now battling the first trimester nerves and scans. We did it...we did it!!

You're not being awful Pramster!

I am. I am being awful. I keep kind of shouting at people for their choices, just because they are not mine. That makes me a twat of the highest order.

Marbles, I am categorically not having that shithole of a house.

Is shit hole two words or one?

Good question. Maybe pop a hyphen in?!

How is the search going? Our is just depressing. It's too sodding expensive daaaaaan saaaaaaafff.

I've fucked the search right off. If only we hadn't turned into stupid, dying alcoholics and lost all our fortunes we might just have had a sofa or even a bed to furnish these fuckers.

I don't like hyphens. They remind me of losing my virginity

Ooh, forgot to say, my new midwife (Janice) rang a short while ago to say she is coming to visit next Thursday to let me listen to Prambino's heart She asked if I make a 'decent brew' so I snorted indignantly before boasting of th'usband's job selling luxury tea and biscuits. She was all 'ooh!' and 'ahhh!' and I was like, '..and I making a crackin' brew, Janice'. I'm going to serve her tea in my birthday teacup/teapot combo. On a saucer and everyfink.

Oh Prammy Janice sounds like my kind of lady. I so wish I hadn't gone off tea . What tea does ManPram sell?

My midwife scares me a little.

But just think, you wouldn't have met MrPram!

ManPram!! I am reeling with the ingenuity of it all! You're a fucking bona fide brainiac, Marbie. ManPram sells Rington's stuff. They also supply all the tea to Fortnum & Mason and all M&S tea is Rington's.

Yes, just think..if I hadn't almost died and never went to rehab I wouldn't have met ManPram

You've just reminded me, Marbs: I'm off too. Janice will have to drink alone.

Prammy, you're making me !

Fortnum's eh?! Very swanky!! Does he get to go for free afternoon tea?!

It's going to be so amazing to hear Prambinos heartbeat!!

Does he shit get to go to Fortnum & Masons. He doesn't get to go further than Bury!

What?! I think a 'business trip' is in order!!

I'm the only one who goes on business trips around here...every fortnight to the dole office

Prammy you make me chuckle!

Marbie, this will make you laugh. It's a poem written by 'Mrs Janet Woodhead from Leeds' about her doorstep salesperson, Andy, which has been printed in the Rington's newsletter this month. Me & th'usband can not stop sniggering at the sheer inanity of it:

His name is Andy
And he puts me in a quandary
What to buy, that is the key.
Biscuits...special offers...with my tea.
He comes through all the seasons
Sun, wind and snow.
His Rington's basket in tow.

Andy has been coming now
For twenty years or more.
He doesn't look any older
Than he did before.
We are getting on now,
my better Roy and me
But still we enjoy
A good old Rington's cup of tea.

My mum was a Rington's lady,
My mum-in-law too.
We are a Rington's family
Through and through.

Now, forgive me, but this piss-stinking old wretch needs stabbing for writing shit like that, no? What the fuck happened to iambic pentameter? Who the frig tries to rhyme 'Andy' with 'quandary'? It infuriates me when stupid old crumblies send stuff in to be published like this. Yes..I know I'm horrible, but th'usband already has at least fifteen grannies who have already started knitting for our baby. Fuck that. Stinky old matinee cardigans and bootees

Hahahahaha!!!! I love the quandary andy line!! Bloody hilarious!!

But woah on the knitting. I knit like a Trojan and I bloody love it. Though the sickness has put a dampner on it of late

Yeah, but see..I would welcome knitwear from a 27 year-old. How has biliousness dampened your knitting, chuck?

Lack of concentration. All I want to do of an evening now is lie down

I want to go back to bed

Hi all
Sorry I'm a bit of a dipper inner and outer
Happy birthday for days ago Pram!
Good luck for Friday Beetle and congrats on your scan Motor
How's work Maybe? I'm settling in more but still find the tiredness hard when there's so much to learn
Xx

Morning all.

That's great Beetle, only a few more days till you see your bean! My clinic said that flights were fine. But if staying home makes you feel safer, then def go for that option! Interesting breakfast choice

Good to see you Caip! How are you feeling. The tiredness is so tough. It just comes out of nowhere doesn't it?!

Well, I had a bit of a turn this morning. GP wanted to see me straight away. My blood pressure has dropped and I'm dehydrated and exhausted. She has signed me off for at least 2 weeks and I have anti-emetics too. I feel relieved if I'm honest. I was so tired of pretending I was ok. Now I've got to break it to them

Well they can't be anything but ok with it Maybe. I'd be relieved too, make sure you make the most of the 2 weeks to relax and get better x

Beetle, the landlord can't actually send the bulldozers in until he serves us with a Notice Seeking Possession, which then gives us another two months! I don't know what he's playing at but I've requested this Notice twice now and it hasn't arrived. He is running out of time to act: he only has three months from the date he was given planning permission to get the 'dozers in and that was at least six weeks ago None of this is relevant, of course, as we are moving as soon as we find somewhere furnished for a price we can afford to rent. Which will be never

Maybs, I'm chuffed to bits you got told off listened to at the quack's this morning

Thanks Caip and Prambo x

Prammy what a nightmare!! Why are they bulldozing in the first place?
