The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Yay for a sticky bean!

I am off for fanjocam shortly. I'm pretty nervous. I wish Mr euro were coming, but he has a meeting that he really couldn't get out of. I am comforting myself with yummy chocs picked up on my trip to Brussels last week.

Like cavey I have been checking and praying all morning! I'm so, so for you!

Yay for heartbeat LP

I have to confess, I've been checking the thread every 15 minutes since 9am hoping for news from you.

[strips off and commences nekkid revelry]

I just wanted to stomp in with my not so delicate and definitely not Ascot worthy wellies and thank you for the ESH support.

Sorry for any info-repeat (PESH fred reader)s, but all went well this morning. We saw a lovely strong heartbeat and the luffly sonographer said everything looked spot on. I was concerned as it seemed to measured a tad earlier than my dates, but she wasn't worried at all and explained that at this early stage the dates rarely match up perfectly, which is why they don't go by early scan results for dating. She said that it's typical/normal at this point for the reading to be off by up to 5 days, and that by the 12 wk scan the dates will probably match up perfectly but it's nothing to worry about. She said that at 6-8wks the most important thing is not the measurement but the heartbeat.

We were given a scan picture to take home and the luffly consultant booked my second reassurance scan for July 10th, when I'll be approx. 10wks. Everyone was so wonderful - especially as several of the nurses knew me from the MCs and they were so happy that this scan went well. (And that also made me a bit weepy!)

Hope the fancam isn't too uncomfortable, Euro - I think you deserve some really good gin chocolate.

I do feel a bit conspicuous in combats.

Very VERY windy. Umbrellas inside out, and women keeping a prudent hand on floppy skirts. And I've seen two tumbles from high heels and slippy surfaces already.

She said phone in a week.

How fast do you get your results back Norf?

My boss has just phoned from Ascot and said it is ver windy, do lots of loose hats!

No exciting scan or fanjo news, but I am very much enjoying Ascot, even if I am just admiring the crowds as I scurry through to the hospital.

Any news???

On the topic of seeing your fanjo - do they usually show you the pics of your lap? I would be interested but SB would be sick...

Fellow citizens of Rulvakia!

Massive good luck to LP and euro today, nice beating hearts and perfect fanjo requests here. Really hope it sorts out the cervix and you get the ok for continuing the IVF-cycle! Thinking of you too bugsy

How nice to have a round up with all the diffed ESH popping by. Wow 20weeks blonde But why oh why do you have so much fun when I have a HIDEOUSLY BUSY day at work? GRRR. Welcome to the camel even if you are fresh not only in meet but also in menkulling. Liked the BESHtonaire (saw it yesterday and then had to do something, how unreasonable). In any case, hope your stay is short and sweet.

I am lemon married to Skinny Bint for nearly 2 years, trying to win a baybee for exactly 2 years and I fall into the unexplained category. But that might change as I am going for a lap soon (the coming cycle or next, depending on how busy they are) after three failed IUIs.

Besides that I am intending to do baybee dancing with my own sweet nephew later today. I reckon it counts faif - terrible music and happy dancy baybee= diffedness right? That other thing is called sechsing, camel, but I guess you'd know that from your beshtionaire. Oh and at ground up baybee. Must check whether you asked sinky...

Impressed at cumber ogling, blonde and at cultural outings cave. I checked you out too, and you look LOVELY, btw!

Right that is all for now, I guess, except a quick demand for some lemony baking for me camel and perhaps the gin a little later!

Hope it goes ok euro, enjoy seeing your cervix. I especially liked the HSG. Lots of detail on that :)

Morning ladies!

Bugs I also have everything crossed for you. Colposcopy is fancy medical speak for "peer up your fanjo with a giant microscope". Apparently they paint a solution on your cervix which makes the dodgy areas show up white. They can then take biopsies or zap them. Apparently, you can usually see your cervix on a screen when they do it. Which will be interesting. I enjoy seeing my ovaries during dildocam scans. This will make a nice change.

blonde if it was no. 231 you would be uber fertile and banished from Rulvakia!

Gosh, how rude of me. LP, hope everything goes well this morning. All my appendages are crossed for you.

Good grief are you really 20 weeks now blondie?!

This 'baby dancing' you speak of, is that when you dance with babies? Cos every time we watch 'A Day full of songs' world's cheesiest DVD DNephew insists we do the hokey kokey. Does that count?!

Good luck LP!

@ blonde. Bet he was bluddy gorgeous in the flesh.

[wipes drool from chin]

Did I mention I met walked past several times on the way to the loo him at a party pub ?

Oh I do enjoy Mr Cumberbumberbatch.

I am 34, unprotected sechsing for 7-8 years, officially trying for 30 months. PCOS. Metformin, ovarian drilling and Clomid have been tried or are in the process of being tried. One ectopic to my name so far.

I thought it was very good blonde, though as you say the hype probably over killed it. MIL saw it live at the theatre but didn't tell me she was going . Would have liked to see it and the CumberArse in the flesh

That should say ttc number 1. Or DC 1. Or whatever. Not number 231.

I saw that last year Cave. Did you enjoy it? It wasn't quite as good as the hype but anything with Bendydick is alright by me.

Hello new Camel (and hello Alwyn if you're still there). I was getting worried about BESH stocks being depleted. I'm blonder, 35 (not for much longer), was ttc %231 actively for a year after enforced waiting due to several years of health probs. Had no sign of ovulation during this time (pee sticks, temping, blood tests) but suddenly did and am now 20 weeks so feeling very fortunate. Married to Tall Bald Irishman (bucking the Ginger trend) for almost 10 years. They are a lovely bunch here for the more cynically inclined and a breath of bloody fresh air apart from the morning after gin

Actually, me and cave appear interchangeable. 31, PCOS that doesn't seem to like clomid, TTC from early 2010 2009 doesn't count as it wasn't really trying.. Except I have a GHJ (ginger hairy jock) at home. And I'm not sure I've ever had a cultural evening, let alone one at the national theatre. But other than that..

Glad we've passed muster as far as baby dust goes (is it made from ground up babies? I may pop out the the conception forum as a whole and ask). There may be a bit of surreptitious hand holding and nipple tassel twirling, but definitely no baby dancing. In fact, in the glorious republic of Rulvakia, I think that's punished by stoning.

Evening all, I've just got in from a cultural evening of watching The National Theatre's "Frankenstein" at our local arty farty centre. It was very very good, I'd highly recommend it to you all if you get the chance to see it. I saw the version with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature.

For Camel's info I am 31, married to HWHNN (He Who Has No Name). We've been trying to win baybee #1 for just over 2 years. Diagnosed with PCOS in early 2011 and am just coming to the end of 5 months on Clomid without success. Going back to the fertility consultant next month where I expect to be put on to follicle tracking.

God reading that back is depressing!
