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.

Sinky, that's very kind of you but I should be able to get my GP to prescribe some tomorrow. Naturally, the nurse has not got back to me as to whether or not I'm safe to take them or not Hmm

Again, I think "normal" results for sperm/eggs/hormones should be treated with a degree of caution. HWHNN' results showed a slightly below average total number, but higher than average motility, etc. Quality over quantity I guess!

euro have they ever checked his prolactin levels?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 13/05/2012 18:33

Yup. GHJs biggest issue with ivf is he'll probably have to give another sample in. My sympathetic noises were a little halfhearted.

Sinking his 3 tests have been around the low end of normal. His last iui white goods were below normal for volume and count. This was slightly higher but still below normal for those factors. So they seem to be getting worse... I am trying to get him to go to a urologist to rule out prostate issues, etc (not for fertility because he has enough swimmers for iui/ivf which is where we are now, but for health). But you know men and doctors so I might be working on that for a while!

Sorry cave. The reliance on blood tests is infuriating isn't it? It seems the ones that fit are used as 'proof' and any that don't are disregarded. Rubbish. I may, ahem, have some clomid going spare. Would I be v bad to offer to post it to you..

Euro, is it not a bit good that kfzk's count was abit down? It might be an easily fixable problem, what with them being dropped on target, as it were... Is this news or have previous samples shown that?

He's now having a post spaff snooze. Poor chap. It was obviously too much for him.

(Of course I was the one who drove for 2 hrs across London and had something shoved up my cervix...)

Yes I felt like that in hospital: doctor: what cd are you? Me: 14. Doc: well it could be ovulation pain. Me, thinking: well it started cd2.... I'm glad you got in ok euro though boo to his swim coming being low-ish. Let's hope bring transported directly helps!

CaveMum · 13/05/2012 12:35

Owwwwww!

Sorry, just had to share that.

Euro, sending egg laying vibes your way Grin

Cavey that is just shit. Medical professionals often don't understand how well we know our bodies.

I was right about the nurse trying to convince me to come in Monday instead of today on the phone. When we arrived she looked rather worse for wear and said she had been out until one in the morning. Luckily, she had the least technical job to do - the consultant and the guy who prepares the white goods looked rather more alert!

KFZK's sample wasn't great again - only 16m total count, 6.something million post-wash. The motility and morphology are good, there just aren't that many of them. Still, they have been chauffeur driven to their destination, so hopefully that will help.

Now I just have to ov today/tomorrow.

I'm bloody starving now, after having breakfast at 6.30am to get to the clinic for 8.30!

How rude of her to ignore you, cavey. I hope it was because she was too embarrassed to speak.

AMNH and I are meant to be going for a nice walk today, but he is already farting about on his phone and totally failing to realise that unless he sorts out xyz now, we won't set off till this afternoon, and then it will have turned dark and cold, thereby missing the point of the plan to go out for a walk in the sun. He really irritates me sometimes, I must say.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 13/05/2012 10:30

Oh cavey :( that's utterly rubbish! Angry for you.
Quiet day in the faith house, I am full of this stupid cold, hoping the worst is over today before I go back to the w place tomorrow! MSB is off on a bike ride making the most of the nice weather.

CaveMum · 13/05/2012 08:55

Nurse just called back. She's got to talk to a Dr to see if it's safe for me to take another bunch of tablets so soon after finishing the last lot, last week.
When I said "the blood test was obviously wrong" she ignored me Hmm

She said the fastest she can get any pills to me is Tuesday, so she suggested I call my GP in the morning to see if they'll do me a same day prescription.

CaveMum · 13/05/2012 08:25

It's too far for him to come back, but thankfully his flight leaves from the base he works at so he said he's going to go to the Mess and watch the Grand Prix.

I've left a message on the clinic answer phone, which says the machine is checked at 8.30am on Saturday and Sunday, so I might [ironic laugh] get a call back today.

Northey · 13/05/2012 08:05

Oh for fuck's sake, cavey, how unbelievably frustrating! Just grrrrrr. What a waste of time and Clomid. I would be kicking cats. And poor HWHNN and his delayed flight. Will he get to come back to you for the extra 24 hrs, or will they make him twiddle his thumbs in an aircraft hangar?

CaveMum · 13/05/2012 07:32

Ah, it just gets better! HWHNN has just called to say that his flight has been postponed till tomorrow!

CaveMum · 13/05/2012 06:45

[sigh]

I was right. Droid is here. Bloody clinic and their, I quote, "infallible" blood tests Angry. I should have listened to my body, droid is exactly on time for when I thought I has ovulated, but the bloody nurse said it was impossible Angry

[insert string of expletives of your choice]

I'll have to leave a message on the clinic answer phone and hope someone calls me tomorrow and that they can sort me out with an emergency prescription because I have no Clomid left.

I suppose, on the upside, at least there is no chance of me ov-ing while HWHNN is away.

Hope everyone else's day gets off to a better start!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 12/05/2012 23:07

X-posts euro but yes, best thing since ttc sliced bread!
All the best for the morning's outsourcing. Tell his swimmers to go UP!
I am mizz with my appearance currently. Too many sweets and lack of exercise make Faith a bloated fatty! Health kick resumes Monday. Back to work, less opportunity to snack, well enough to exercise! Got a ball in 4 weeks and I want to look as good as I can!

CaveMum · 12/05/2012 23:07

Evidently I have had too much Wine to notice!

Yay for Smile faces for you both.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 12/05/2012 23:00

Mmm I miss carrot cake

eurochick · 12/05/2012 23:00

The pep talk was surprisingly effective. Who knew my ovaries needed to be told to fight them on the beaches to pop an egg, eh? Anyway, we are booked in for outsourcing at stupid o'clock tomorrow morning. Clearly the dr has lunch plans.

cavey it would be very annoying to have wasted the Clomid if you are right.

Faify the smiley faces are cool aren't they? I got mine this afternoon too. :)

I went shopping today and saw myself in changing room mirrors (we don't have any full length mirrors at home). Eugh, I look vile. I blame the Pred.

Too easily! along with 2 slices of carrot cake

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 12/05/2012 22:49

I fink peeps are just busy cavey. bugs is sunning herself Envy, moi?! I travelled home and have essentially been lolling on sofa since. Am full of cold :( Have retreated to bed with hot chocolate. Got cider but just didn't fancy it!
How did the Wine go down?

CaveMum · 12/05/2012 22:23

[bottle of Wine later]

Oops, I've killed the fred Blush

CaveMum · 12/05/2012 18:14

If it was all one cycle, this would be day 54 Shock Cramps have gone away but I feel "off", if you know what I mean.

Thanks Norf, it was an amazing holiday Grin

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 12/05/2012 18:03

It was a nice holiday. Felt really long. My Dad did play up a bit, he seemed to keep trying to stir! But managed a few short walks and got some sunshine. Dreading going back to the 'w' place but have realised this week only I can change the things I dislike. I might buy a Paul McKenna positive type book. Also our house is really near completion, light fittings in, fire in, doors replaced! Even though MSB has had some wobbles he was grinning when he looked round! I just can't wait to go home.
cavey the shopping sounds luffly. Make sure you treat yourself to something for you too!
