The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

987 replies

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

My periods were always very weird when I was on the Pill so I can't comment on whether or not the Clomid has made a difference! For me they are now heavier and last longer, but like I said that could be normal for me.

As far as counting days go I'd hang on a bit longer and see if it gets any heavier. Give it till lunchtime, if it hasn't got any heavier by then then don't count today as Day 1

Oh and don't worry about the me me me - we all do it and it's totally understandable.

Still getting a "high" on the shag dictator this morning and the cheapy OPK line is getting darker, though not as dark as the control line, so ov today looks unlikely. Just hoping tht I can hang on another 36 hours! [ties knot in tubes]

Northey · 31/05/2012 07:40

God, I'm sorry to be so me me me me me me at the moment, but I have a question for cavey / anyone else who has taken Clomid. Did it alter your periods? This is very light and weird this morning. More spotting than anything else. It's only on paper and not reaching knickers. Do I count this as a proper day of period for Clomid purposes?

Now I've said all that I daresay it will all start gushing uncontrollably within the next hour.

Northey · 31/05/2012 07:18

I have today off as well. I shall use it to sleep and talk firmly to my ovaries. "this is not the sort of behaviour we expect from Rulvakian ovaries."

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 31/05/2012 07:04

Well the buzzwams are still pretty magnificent at the moment. I feel like that especially using the opk. I do feel better for counting it as cycle 5 though. It sits quite well.
I'm so shattered now but I've got tomorrow off so 5 day weekend! Imagine a lie in at home together :)

Northey · 30/05/2012 23:23

Sorry fee, I drooled on your consoling buzzwam.

Northey · 30/05/2012 23:22

That's exactly it! I ovulated. I had sex with a man with approved swimmers. How can the two not have resulted in a baybee?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/05/2012 23:03

Point is, although the clomid didn't win you a baybee this time, it did make you lay an egg and you had a cycle under 200 days long. Which is good. Although rubbish that you're not diffed. I feel the same - like if all the fertility ishoos are fixed with us, why am I not diffed yet again?! Come on, let's snuggle in the corner and drink gin cocktails.
Blimey it's 11pm. I really should go to sleep.

Northey · 30/05/2012 22:48

I don't want a fresh start! I want a baybee!

I just can't believe it. It's just taking so fucking long. What is even the point?

ShredniVashtar · 30/05/2012 22:41

Bah! Stoopid fecking droid. Well good news in a way if it means your cycles are getting shorter. And tomorrow will be cd1 so you can think of it as a fresh start

Northey · 30/05/2012 22:19

Oh. And blood appears to be returning :( In browny red form. I really do think this is it now.

Northey · 30/05/2012 22:08

Menkul away! Is it too tubey to be implantation?

Sortig out my childhood junk at my parents', I have just found and binned some contraceptive pessaries from 1999. Blee.

ShredniVashtar · 30/05/2012 21:38

Oh northey, you poor menkul one! Deep breaths, and just think in a few days time you will know one way or the other.

faith good luck with the rest of the move. Will be lovely when you're settled in your own place again.

Arf at WW and SL being like sketch shows. I have just broken my low/ no sugar diet in spectacular fashion by eating a Magnum. Yum! Had a long time of being dairy intolerant so every ice cream feels like a massive treat. CD 22 here and although I don't feel diffed, I do keep having odd tubular pains - the sort I usually get around ov. Is this a new symptom to menkul about?

FriendofDorothy · 30/05/2012 21:38

The SW meeting I went to were quite like Little Britain's Fat Fighters. They were fucking hilarious. but I did meet an awesome bunch of people there!

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 21:36

Is it worth POASing in the morning Norf? Sounds very odd.

Northey · 30/05/2012 21:30

Slimming World, bugs?! You are flaming sylph-like! Good luck with it, though. I really need to get to grips with my weight again. I am going to go properly PCOS-friendly this cycle -totally low GI/GL/whatever it's meant to be.

Woo for holidays and shoes, roly. It sounds a-may-zing!

Blood has retreated again. Nothing at all on last two wipes

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/05/2012 21:15

X posts bugs. WW was just like Little Britain! Yes then definitely time for you to liaise with your doc. Here's hoping for an fufc bfp :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/05/2012 21:12

cavemeister the date is....31st May!!! Just packing up the last bits while watching Honey I shrunk the kids - retro classic! MSB needs to borrow the big van from work tomorrow night and bil will help with the heavy/bug stuff like washing machine, sofa, bed! MSB is off work tomorrow so he'll have time to put our bed (pine frame) and other stuff together.

queenie have a fabulous time and enjoy wearing your shoes!! :)

Tomorrow is Day 1 Norf, definitely Sad Sorry you are out.

Faith, exciting about the house! Do you have an official moving in date?

Enjoy the holiday Rollo, and the shoes Envy I bought some lovely wedges in M&S last week and wore them today - they've given me blisters [ouch]

right girls. HOLB has bought me the most gorgeous shoes for night time outings in Barcelona. They were expensive I might never take them off.
Last minute packing here, and we're off about 9am tomorrow to catch the first of many trains. May be too busy to get on in the morning so will say ta-ra now! See you all in a week

Remember cavey's rule - its not cd1 if it starts after 3pm. Sorry to hear it looks like its over for this cycle :( short though, yes?

I'm back at the rental house, bout to have tea and then finish stuffing crap in boxes packing. Very weird but exciting!

Northey · 30/05/2012 18:53

In other news, I have had an instance of bright red blood and worse cramps. So I guess that is it. Now need to decide whether to count today or tomorrow CD1 for Clomid-popping purposes.

Northey · 30/05/2012 18:41

Yay for being at home and alive and everything clean! It will feel better when your stuff is in, you are right.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/05/2012 17:46

I'd go too bugs. What fanjo/swimming studies have you had so far?!

I am freaking out a bit. I'm sitting at home - proper home- the carpets are in, we're moving in boxes. Just waiting for MSB and last load of the night. It's so weird. It looks like home but then again it doesn't too clean I'm sure it'll be good with furniture. It's just very strange Confused

Ascot? Marvellous cavey --beastiality
