I am a bit annoyed as I had originally made the appt for Fri 13th but I got a letter the other day to say that it had been cancelled and brought forward to 6th.

Sorry I can't help, I just thought it was funny, I got a letter this morning telling me my appointment on the 6th has been cancled and put back to the 13th seems we swapped

I know what you guys mean about the facebook thing. Not a week goes by that there isn't another pregnancy announcement. The latest is someone who has been with her OH about 6 months and is over 12 weeks, which just feels a bit queue jumpy to me. And to make matters worse since she announced it, every post is moaning about it which is just rubbing salt into the wound.

AFM nothing new. TMI alert - weird globs of cm yesterday, crampy and yucky today and my tummy feels tight over my hipbones like I've been doing situps, this evening someone at the train station was eating crisps and the smell was making me feel sick, but I think that was a combination of it being too hot and the progesterone. At 4dpo it is far too early to ss, especially as the cream mimics symptoms !! :rotfl::rotfl:I will not SS! I will not SS!

Oh someone asked what I'm doing this month to help my symptoms and hormone balance (brace yourselves....):

CD1-ov Agnus Castus
ov - AF - natural progesterone cream
CD1-AF - Maca root, B vitamin complex.

I can recommend the Maca root. It's meant to help stimulate your pituitary gland to balance your hormones. Don't know if it's working or a placebo effect, but I've felt much more happy and contented, rather than my old mental hormone mood swings.

Anyway, will test on 14th of this month (but only because I'm not allowed to stop the cream without testing just in case)

Agree defintely on the facebook thing.
1) one person constantly moaned through her entire pregnancy about being pregnant and the symptoms that go with it. Has a baby now and has never said a good thing about him.
2) one person constantly moans how crap her life is, and how she has nothing good in it. she's 24 weeks pregnant.
3) Friend today has literally put, I quote "Really really really hates being pregnant". Why get pregnant then????

I am so tempted to put on there tonight, "some people should be grateful, because they can't see what they have, unless they can't have it".

Uggh and if it's not that, it's the week by week updates "my baby is the size of an orange" or it's the look at the cute thing my kid did/said, or even worse the smug mom memes about how being a mum is the best thing in the whole world. Why am I even on there?

There's someone I used to go to school who moans about what a hard life she has. As far as I can see from her constant posts, she spends her days having coffee with other mums, going to soft play with her daughter and drinking wine. Yup. Must be so hard for you, you poor thing. I'll give you my sympathy just as soon as I've finished racing to the train station, squeezing into packed carriages, then writing code for 8 hours straight, to a spec that makes no sense because it's been written by someone with no idea what the system is capable of, then squeezing back on a train, coming home, trying to get DH to BD in the 24 hour window when I'm actually fertile, covering myself in hormone cream and taking so many supplements that I rattle, analysing every single twinge and month after month being disappointed at the arrival of AF, epecially when she got pg by "accident" and didn't even try. :rotfl::rotfl:

skintchick I'm so sorry to hear of your mc

Squirrel, in my experience, they won't do any tests on dh(2b) at the appointment itself, but they like to know that he's "on board". If you're happy enough to go ahead without him there then I'd go along and tell them that as they changed the appt, he now can't come. If not, I'd ring and explain and hope they have a cancellation that you could both make.

As for what they do at the appointment: I had to take a questionnaire, filled in with answers about when & how long my cycles were, cycle history, length and heaviness of cycles (how many pads/tampons used), any previous pregnancies/mcs, any family history of gynae problems, your own & dh's medical history. They weighed and checked the height of both of us, took a swab & did an internal (I took extra underwear for after, cos they use lube and it's gross to sit in after), and gave me forms for tests for me and dh. The nurse who was in with us on the consultation came out to explain said forms etc and answer any other questions we had.

I felt really emotional after, cos they told me that I'd only go back to see them after 5 months for the results and next steps and it just seemed so long away. Be prepared for nothing much to happen very quickly. You're on the path now though.

:wave: everyone glad your tubes were clear team lowe

Hi everyone not been around for a few days - I've had a nasty kidney infection which is now getting better.

AF has finished so fingers crossed I ov this month. AF was normal, a little on the light side but nothing to worry about, so hopefully that's a good sign.

Squirrel - I'd just explain that as they moved the appt etc OH is not available but is fully supportive xx

LOL, just figured out your user name Code! :rotfl: I dare you to reply to that woman's FB moans with this! Some people really can't see when they've got it good can they?

Vesper, you could probably put that as your status but the people it's directed at won't even get it because they're too far up their own backsides to see!

Ouch to the kidney infection becca, glad you're feeling better now!

Nice to see you BZ! :wave:

Nothing going on here... kind of waiting for AF to show up tomorrow but not sure if/when it'll actually arrive. Too soon to test but I did have a little sulk last night that I never get to POAS! If I *was* SS I'd have to say that my sense of smell is super at the minute. I work with some smelly people unfortunately (BO, bad breath, smokers etc) and I'm picking up every unpleasant whiff right now and it's not nice! _pale_

Hey Ladies,

Am having an off week with my PMA

Results came down again this week but I'd gotten myself in a right tizz about them again. Normally they are ready at 9am, but yesterday they weren't ready, and then the secretary can't give you any details and the nurse didn't ring back til 7.30. Was soooo grateful that she did ring at that time - just seemed like such a long day waiting to hear.

Its my 8 week "deadline" tomorrow, so I will do my sample tomorrow and get the results next weds. The nearer I get to having normal results the more panicked I am?! I just don't understand myself sometimes.

I know I have put too much pressure on myself for this deadline (if results are normal within 8 weeks it significantly reduces waiting time for TTC) and I know I shouldn't have done that because I can't alter the results in any way.

I keep telling myself off cos I should just be grateful that the results aren't increasing and that I don't need chemo

I had a right cry on the poor nurse on the phone yesterday It just seems a constant cycle of testing and then trying to occupy myself and then waiting for results.

DD is back to her dads as well for this weekend, which always seems to make things worse.

I just want to be "normal" and not have the testing stresses to go through every week. I will go on to fortnightly testing once I hit normal (for approx 6 months or so) and will be tested throughout any future pregnancies - so I won't ever be totally free off it - but at least the intensity and the worry should stop hopefully once I hit normal.

Anyways, in other news. My facepaints came and they're all fab. My hair is now v short and red and lots of people noticed this time, lol! Its only a couple of weeks til our first wedding anniversary - so looking forward to celebrating that. And DD passed her latin american dance exam, so thats good news too. Oh and I went back to zumba last night for the first time in 6 months - ouchies!!!

Congratulations to Msnigella.

Can I predict 9 BFP's for July please QQ. Hope your eggys are behaving themselves now and growing nicely.

Think I have forgotten everyone elses individual news - sorry I do read quite often but if you don't post that often its hard to keep up with you all...

I deleted my first pregnant friend on facebook last night. I was trying so hard not to be bitter and jealous - but shes taken to photographing all the new clothes she has bought and every single status is about the baby, and she announced just a couple of weeks before I was meant to announce mine if things had have gone well.

Well I'm actually really annoyed with myself because the website I'm buying park tickets from had a one-day 5% off sale on Sunday and I totally forgot to buy the bleeding things! :mad: Have to wait for the next sale (hopefully in about 3 months), luckily we've got plenty of time before we go!

We've also decided to sign up for the Disney Half Marathon which is on whilst we're there. 13 miles running/jogging/walking around all of the Disney parks at night ending up with a big party at Epcot. Sounds amazing but I've never run in my life! I need to start training! :eek: That's a massive bit of tempting fate, isn't it?! Also trying to find a way to get a night at the Hard Rock Hotel for less than £200! :eek: Really excited about it, OH's loads more excited this time too as he knows what he's getting excited about IYKWIM! BIL looked into booking to come with us but was put off by the cost- thank the Lord as I could think of nothing worse than spending 2 weeks with him and was horrified when OH mentioned what could have been! :eek:

Big hugs for you Abis, can't imagine what a crappy time you're having New hair sounds fab though!
