Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

End of holiday and back to work today :( But I did manage an admirable 7 shags in 7 days, with probable ovulation day round about day 5.

Yuck re pus. You don't fancy a switch to waxing?

Rie from my naturally extensive research it seems to be that the grade A swimmers shoot straight on up towards the target while the duffers get left behind with a Confused look on their faces!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/07/2012 21:11

Hello Cakey!

Mr A's swimmers are almost indecently numerous, Faif. 150 million or so per whatever. Unfortunately, quite a high percentage are swimming in circles, but if you look at it logically, a small percentage of 150 million going in the right direction is still quite a lot. Unless they keep bumping into all the crap ones? Confused

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 20:19

Always interesting hear how previously down trodden BESH like ourselves PESH got their win! Congratulations cakey :) when will you lay?

Verdict re pus Confused is likely caused by over shaving to start, antibiotics to clear it up. 5 courses of antibiotics since March Hmm and they wonder why they've created antibiotic resistance!

Lemon my current diff is another au naturel. We were unexplained for two years, then had last year's miracle diff the cycle before starting IVF. (I am that woman you always anecdotally hear about who fell just before starting treatment -then I mc'd which kind of ruins the feel-good factor of the anecdote.)
We hadn't really started going down the treatment route again this time, I wanted to take some time to deal with the mc (also, 'at least now you know you can get pregnant' Hmm) Was diffed again after 10 months, and this one seems to stick. As my GP said, 'some people just take a long time...' Sigh.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 17:43

You have done well to stay around that bracket norf 'specially since you were between jobs for a while.

cavey I'm glad to hear its soon. Yes sub cut (into fat) injections should be done at a 45 degree angle.

I'm at the docs to get my increasingly gross armpits seen to!

I was going to say you can't blame the anaesthetic but since I only think it was lems who asked, then yes, blame the anaesthetic!

always nice to see an ESH!

Northey · 19/07/2012 17:24

Hmm, my BMI was 24 last time I checked. I suspect it has edged back up to 26ish by now. Must must join Project BMI Baybee.

eurochick · 19/07/2012 17:14

Snap cavey. Also 5'6 and around the same weight here (it was 9st5 before the bloody steroids; I just scrape under 10st now).

CaveMum · 19/07/2012 16:22

Don't know Norf, if it's any help I'm 5ft6 and about 9st10. BMI was 22 last time I checked.

cavey the trigger shot could give you a false positive for about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks. They use them for IVF too and I bought a load of cheapey sticks, with the intention of watching the line fade, so I knew if I ever got a positive, it was a true positive.

Northey · 19/07/2012 16:16

How skinny do you have to be to be "skinny PCOS", btw? Just wondering if I could legitimately classify myself that way yet.

Northey · 19/07/2012 16:09

Brilliant news, cavemum! This is for injections isn't it, rather than full on ivf?

Lots of nekkid and fishy love to BESH Of Yore. How nice to see you all and get an update on the state of your innards. These things are important.

KickTheGuru · 19/07/2012 16:09

Diabetes pens are easy peasy - and to make it COMPLETELY painless, inject at a slight angle instead of going straight in...

CaveMum · 19/07/2012 16:07

My NHS Authority call it Ovulation Induction.

I'll have to inject myself daily with FSH to grow my follicles and submit for regular dildo cam to monitor their growth. Once I have a follicle, or two, of decent size, I'll be given a trigger shot to make me ovulate within 48 hours and sent home to do the sechs, a lot.

The trigger shot they give contains HCG so I won't be able to take a pg test for several weeks otherwise it will give a false positive.

Not looking forward to the injections, but some people have told me that some NHS authorities give you the diabetic-pen type injections, rather than full on syringes.

The only potential spanner in the works is that because I am "skinny PCOS" I might overstimulate and produce too many follicles. If that happens they will sto the treatment and move me straight on for IVF.

Good news, cave! What is the treatment you're starting can I still blame post-op brain, or is it too late for that faif?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 14:26

Oh and project BMI baybee has been postponed til I have finished all the homemade cookies I just baked til the weekend.

CaveMum · 19/07/2012 14:25

ClinIV called back! I should have an appointment in early September and they'll look to start treatment ASAP after that.

Not too bad in the grand scheme of things, I had visions of early 2013 so I'll gladly take September!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 19/07/2012 14:24

Well done kicking, that is fab. So when do you start? How much hols did you manage to wrangle? And YAY for the shortened commute!!

So cake how did you win your current diff then? Congratulations in either case!

cakeandcava · 19/07/2012 13:58

ahem Hello, I am cakey, previous BESH, current PESH (short story: spent time on BESH about 18 months ago waiting for IVF, had a miracle diff, promptly MMCd, had breakdown and left MN). I've been lurking but not posting as I don't 'know' you current BESHies, and it seemed a bit insensitive to barge in all diffed.

But, now that some of the oldies veterans have briefly come out of the woodwork, I just wanted to send a few friendly shin-kicks in the direction of rierie and sunny (and any others too!). Hope things are as well as they can be, sorry you had to pop your dildocam cherry aries but glad things were 'normal'.

I also just realised the other day that Alps had a second baybee yes I am really slow Hurrah! :)

KickTheGuru · 19/07/2012 13:36

Pardon - I lied. I traveled for about 2hrs and 30mins in my previous role.

35mins in total for this one.

KickTheGuru · 19/07/2012 13:35

So the bloke at the interview said "You can start immediately, right?" and I said yes so he said "Good, so you could start on Monday" and I said "erm...." because I would REALLY like a couple days of holiday.

My first interview was on Tuesday and took 20mins and the second was today with 5 men and took 25mins.

That's how a job search should be, surely?!!! Grin Fingers crossed.

euro Dammnit that sounds hot! I hate crowed buses and tubes. If I get this job, my overall travel time is reduced from 1hr35mins from my previous role to erm...60mins a day in total.

Yay to all who haven't got cysts and fibroids!! After my fibroids were removed in 2008 (1 @10cm and 1 @ 7cm), I had 3 monthly checkups with the dildocam. They found a couple cysts in early 2009 and I took the pill for 3 months, cysts disappeared and as at January 2012, they see no problems.

So muchos wine for that!!!! Grin

Good news for everyone at least

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 13:07

I was asking so there's no cysts then? for mine. I was gearing up for left sided ovulation IIRC. Blimey that's a year ago! I was shown more on my HSG so I found it more interesting. The radiologist turned the screen round to show me :) I'm glad to hear its all normal/healthy riebie. Have Mr Rie's swimmers been looked at yet?

Grin at prospect of better weather. I understand it's about some kind of front very technical! that didn't move hence the wet weather. It should move on and improve soon I think. Good, it's too muggy to think straight.

Sympathy for the boiling bus euro Confused
cavey I hope it's not too long!!!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/07/2012 11:39

They were just having a look, Norf. For fun, like. I was anxiously asking whether I had an upside down, inside out, back to front womble, riddled with fibroids etc, and she gave me a bemused look and said "no it all looks very normal". So I have a normal uterus. One less thing.

CaveMum · 19/07/2012 11:31

Weather is supposed to start getting better soon my fillies. The Beeb website says sunny and 27 degrees for me next Tuesday [gets pasty legs out in anticipation]

I'm waiting on a call back from the Clinic as to how long this mysterious Waiting List is.

eurochick · 19/07/2012 10:51

I quite like having a nosy at my insides. I find it all quite fascinating. I quite liked the HSG too - I got to see my curly wurly tubes.

I had a bad start to the day - my trains were fvvked so I ended up having to come in on a very crowded bus, on which the driver kindly put the heating on....
