The BESH Eurovision Song Contest eva

Try whistling/singing to see if they notice you

Failing that, go kick some ass!

Just ARGH! What if they have forgotten me? How can this be taking so long?

Ass-kicky norf, get ass-kicky!

An hour and a quarter after my appointment was due to take place, I am still sitting in the waiting room. I am now the only person here. I can't decide if this has made me more ass-kicky, or has sapped all my life force.

I've had that too, euro. I saw my consultant for my first appointment and since then have had underlings only, which I didn't actually mind until the imbecile last time (am reading through my file, and hae just come to the letter she wrote, which has made me massively ragey all over again). And your point that decisions have actually already been made in an earlier case meeting have made me really ready for battle. If I'm only being notified of a decision, why the fuck drag me in at all. They could email me the conclusions, quite frankly. So if I am here I am damned well taking a part in the decision-making.

I agree. I think as long as there is an identifiable problem (that I have really long irregular cycles and my ovaries could prob do with a kick up the arse) we should try to work on that. Rather than going nuclear, so to speak. On way to hospital now, mentally counting cycle days...

I think if I was in your position personally, I'd plump for the clomid first - I think euro is right. The drilling has helped a bit but not made you ovulate as early on as you/they'd hoped. Unless they give you good reason for not giving you the clomid that it. It would be drastic to offer you ivf straight off I think? You could always say you need some time to think about it and discuss it with AMNH, that's fair!

I wimped out, fortunately, as the heavens opened about 30 mins later.

Just getting dressed in my lightest clothes, in case they freakishly decide to weigh me. A Random Thought - what if they offer me something other than Clomid? I hadn't even considered that, but of course they threw europa totally with suggesting ivf. What should I do if they suggest it for me? Would I rather have Clomid? I can't imagine ivf being very easy to manage whilst living somewhere else and AMNH having a job it's not easy to take leave from anyway... Gulp.

Good luck lem!
Sympathies for the rumbly tumblies, I have ibs so I understand!
I'd go norf but back a brolly...

Apologies for the oversharing, and sorry you are suffering too norf.

Pleased some people enjoyed the tickets, even if they were not the right ones (and that you got some money for it). Good luck with bed-changing, I rarely do that, as SB is way taller, and I am convinced that is an advantage, he is our designated bedmaker... I am the smelling-police though and I totally know what you mean, faith.

I'm off now - good luck norf if I don't catch you before your appointment!

Oh, no he didn't go in the end lem. To be honest, I think he'd have struggled because his neck and head were bad Friday anyway. We sold them to my sister's work colleagues, they said they were sorry we couldn't make it but they were very grateful for the tickets and hasn't laughed so much in years. So at least they didn't go to waste.
So lots of thumb twiddling today then? Maybe we should play a game?
I managed to shower and dress. I had to get out of bed - I'd decided to strip it, you know when it's due and once you've decided it needs doing, you think it smells a bit? So now I'm laid on the unmade bed gearing up for the next step!

Good luck, btw!

If we're sharing that sort of thing, I could mention that my intestines are feeling somewhat...splattery today. And my hospitals loos are never really soundproof :(

A nice walk sounds like a good distraction. Go norfy go. (And I'll pack my bag and find my brolly, it is grey here too).

Was planning a walk but it looks like rain. I really should get out though.

Oh, I get so nervous that my tummy is rumbling, it is hardly surprising my intestines play havock with most scans... Let's just hope no wind needs to escape when I am in the stirrups.

In about 10 minutes norf. Thumb twiddling is annoying. Any chance of something fun or pleasant to do in between?

When do you leave for iui, lem? I'm not up till this afternoon so am twiddling my thumbs for a few hours.

No need to get out of bed this early, faith. You are off ill after all. Did MSB go to see the show, btw? I am cold and nervous. Nothing will get done between now and leaving for the iui-time...

Yup I'll answer to any of them! Pain not quite so bad this morning but I haven't got out of bed yet! and hadn't got the oomph to fight for a Monday appointment. If I'm no better tomorrow I'll get one then.

fee or fatih or faith, you know who I mean, right?

X-post with your update fatih. You are soooo not being unreasonable. Go with the complaint, it is ridiculous. How can they be surprised about the number of no shows if they send the appointments out this late... Big well done on getting a new one booked for Friday.
