Asseyez-vous mes amies and ready yourselves for the BESH Eurovision contest ever. Get ready with your Central European fashion, transvestites and inability to sing anything in tune. Get ready to rip your skirts off and leave your other halves no option but to make their mind up (do you see what I did there?) to get down to some swi and do your best not to think of Terry Wogan at any point in the proceedings. Finally, get ready to yell ?nul points? at the evil Droid should it dare to make an appearance.

Newbies, approach in high euro-camp mode, find and complete the BESHtionnaire to let us judge whether you are cynical and menkul enough to join us.

Oh norf that's crap. Bring on the clomid!
dor average is 15, minimum 13, longest 16 FF does come in handy! but it's unusual for me to not have had a temp drop or spotting by now

Northey · 30/04/2012 07:48

Woke up with a bathroom dash to deal with blood, so I guess that is definitely droid now, and Clomid tomorrow. Had better phone to book tracking scans :(

FriendofDorothy · 30/04/2012 07:46

How long is your LP usually?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/04/2012 07:40

Me too norf, me too. Maybe part of my problem is budget. I don't spend much on clothes. More recently I've tried to buy less but not shop in supermarkets slightly nicer clothes. Inspired by Dsis buying me an oasis long sleeved t-shirt. I'd never have spent £20 on a t-shirt before but it's luffly and really nice fabric.
In ttc land, my temp is still high. Refusing to test again til I'm officially late, last 5 cycles have been 26 days and I'm cd26 today and 15dpo chart here for people who want to nose!

I lurk on Style and Beauty for tips, which I never put into practice, just mull over, while wearing bedsocks and a dressing gown.

That's it. She's glossy. Even when sunbathing. When I end up with frizzy mad hair, a sheen of sweat and burnt bits where I have missed with the suncream. I'd love to know how she does it.

Sounds like going to weddings. I think I scrub up ok, and then I suddenly encounter people who are just somehow glossy with grooming.

Maybe the cats would like to be impressed? Wink

She's just one of those people. I feel ok until I stand next to her. In one way she is my consolation - because she never had kids and has a fab life. KFZK and his bro were teenagers away at boarding school when she got together with their dad so she never mothered them and doesn't have kids of her own. I refer to her as SMIL on here for shorthand but she is never called that IRL. She has a great life in Dublin, with a house in France, a wonderful wardrobe and a lot of interesting travel. I do occasionally remind myself that ending up like her wouldn't be too bad really.

Envy of the size 10ness.

I am dowdy too. I have some nice clothes but feel like there is never any point in wearing them just to impress the cats.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 22:15

drizzy has been quiet, maybe she's happy?!
euro I always feel dowdy. I think I need to be Gok'd! I have nice clothes but always end up in jeans and jumpers! Some of the nicest clothes I have are ones my sister picked put for me. Maybe I should go shopping with her?! MSB has agreed we can each have some money from the insurance compensation to replace clothes we lost. That should be a fun day out!

Nothing in particular. I need work clothes as most of mine are 5+ years old and starting to show their age, and wanted to pick something up for the weekend in France as we will be staying with my superstylish and superslim stepmother in law who always looks great and makes me feel very dowdy and plump even though I am more than 10 yrs younger than her and a size 10.

Is there a single BESH who isn't full of woe this weekend?

We're you looking fr anything in particular, euro?

Always the way with shops euro. When you're skint, everything is luffly. When you have dosh, it's all pants. I still have £22 of Next vouchers left from Christmas cos I couldn't find anything I liked. Found some shoes now I can put the vouchers towards but it's taken months to find them! Sorry to hear about the temp drop and sludge :(

Well I just had the tiniest hint of brown sludge which is usually a sign for me that I am about to start bleeding as I don't usually spot. I have been waiting for it all day cos my temp fell off a cliff this morning.

I went out shopping this afternoon to cheer myself up. It didn't work. The shops are all full of nasty pastel coloured shite. The 80s were bad enough first time round ffs! I went to reiss, whistles, oasis, zara and ted baker with my bonus (well, the small part of it I have decided to spend on myself rather than IVF) burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't find a single thing I wanted to buy. Meh.

I tried for some sechs too, but somehow it ended up being provision of a blow job. And then I made dinner. Hmm

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 21:24

Yes norf today isn't cd1. cavey is well informed.
cavelina I'm glad your day turned around.
I'm getting lots of womble cramps but no spotting.

CaveMum · 29/04/2012 21:19

Yes thanks, a quiet day and lots of cuddles with HWHNN plus some sechs has perked me up.

Northey · 29/04/2012 21:15

Ah, thanks. Your consultant sounds a lot better than mine, who frankly practically tutted when I asked her to repeat the instructions. Ok, so I'll see what I wake up with.

Are you feeling any better, cavegirl?

CaveMum · 29/04/2012 21:12

Norf my consultant said it has to be a decent flow to count as droid. Also she said to count from the 1st morning bleed as Day 1. So if droid shows up at 3pm tomorrow, then Day 1 is Tuesday.

Northey · 29/04/2012 21:06

Ah, so we're back online, are we?

Pantwatch update: a small splodge of pale blood per wipe. Nothing reaching pants. Assuming this is actually droid, would this count as day 1 for Clomid purposes?? It's definitely not flow. How do current Clomid takers decide??

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 20:53

Well that's why was Confused Well it confused me so I reckon it might work! Grin

FriendofDorothy · 29/04/2012 20:46

It is. I promise that here would be the first place anyone knew anything negative!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 20:22

That's both cunning and awesome dor. I was bit worried, knowing what I know, but I'm glad to hear its a rouse!

FriendofDorothy · 29/04/2012 20:12

OH no. I am fine. Sorry to confuse people. It is a very deliberate attempt to put a couple of nosey people off the scent. According to my mother-in-law I haven't been miserable enough recently. Heh.
