The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

Hello, laydees.

And aloha to you, GuruKicker - welcome to the fold.

I'm LauraPalmer/LP, my partner is TOM (The Old Man), and my DSS is TinyTOM. I'm currently in early-updiffedness-nervous-mode, so please excuse me for skipping the TTC bio bit as it might freak me out further to see it all in black and white.

I'm Sunny. 35. TTC 2.5 years. SSG (spreadsheetgeek) has wierd genetic thing going on with sperm & I have ovaries of an 80 year old. Waiting for a man in a white coat to give us the big yes or no as to whether it's worth us having IVF.

Like Rie I used to hang around these parts all the time but then thought what's the point as nothing was happening. I lurk from time to time and have been known to add my unwanted opinion!

I'm a big fan of the needles Shredni. They sorted my short cyles out, stopped my IBS and hayfever and generally made me feel better.

Evening all.

Hello kaginabag, I'm Shred. Aged 31. TTC number 1 since Dec 2010, 1 mmc and 1 ectopic but no actual baybee yet. All tests normal, and GP won't refer for another 6 months. Grrrr. Sounds like you will fit right in with us bunch of sour old hags.

Now. Lamps. I too am of the opinion that you can't have too many lamps, especially if the bulbs are soft. So I say go for it! Am sure GP will see sense.

Had a good first needles appt last night. Cried quite a bit, which I wasn't expecting, but I think I trust her, which is important. So far she thinks I have unbalanced spleen energy, and generally "damp" and need to eat more hot food! And no whale music, thank fuck

Personally I'm a less is more girl when it comes to lighting...if you are sitting near there, you need light and it's too dark baybe get another. But you may not need it.

I have just done another walk of nearly 5k so treated myself to a mini milk :)

I'm hoping not to complete the final hole option

Nice to see you bugs

Well hellllllerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr BESH

Detect my slight slurring? That will be because I have been in from work for precisely 46 minutes and am already on my third glass of wine. Yes it was THAT sort of day......

Now now now

Hello Kickassguru or KAG as you will now be known. How lovely to have to you. Always nice to meet a fellow barren who likes a good sneer and spits on babydust.

I'm camel knees. Answer to any variation thereof. Married to HY (hairy yorkshireman). Keeper of a small person aged 2 but currently trying to win a second baybee without luck. No fannycams yet so still very much an amateur by BESH standards. Can mostly be found swearing, watching trashy tv and eating my body weight in salty carbs.

All this talk of fitness has made me resolve to go to the gym tomorrow morning. I am currently fatty fattison from fatsville.

faithy you now officially win the prize for the most orifices medically investigated. Pipes up your wee-wee hole!? Sheesh!!! Hope it sorts the problem kiddo.

Yep, I'm from elsewhere on MN. I am almost brand new in TTC - so much so we have had to stop because work are being fuckers. I will probably be moving jobs by January and CGH (computer geek husband) is too bloody sensible to just say "fuck it, let's have a baby".

Damn him.

I'm looking forward to the summer holidays because I might actually have the TIME to exercise.

Afternoon all.

Brief intro from me: euro, 36, married to KFZK (kung fu zombie killer, after past and present hobbies), TTC for 20 cycles plus a long period of a casual approach to contraception before that. As well as trying the more traditional way, we have 3x Letrozole and 2xIUI cycles behind us, and 6 cycles with Prednisolone treatment for NK cells. Had a meltdown on my first IVF cycle last month (me and hormonal drugs are not happy bedfellows) and stopped it after downregging. Am now waiting for my body to wake up after being thrown into menopause. To complicate matters, I got my first ever abnormal smear result during my IVF cycle so I am currently seeing a whole new set of foof drs to deal with that. I am looking forward to at some point having two weeks together when the only person sticking things up my ladybits is my husband.

Anovulatory? I think I got that distinction because I just don't have periods, at all. No point in doing things half measures eh?

Oh, and I'm 31, GHJ is the ginger hairy jock.

Am v impressed with gurus fitness. Am currently exhausted to the extent I'm having to drive to work rather than cycle. I think it might be a sign of diffedness (pre ovulation. Don't tell me it can't happen)

OMG Fred's on fire, with lots of visitors I only know from when I was a lurker.

Hello and welcome guru. I like your bitterness, as I said when I saw faif invited you a few days ago.

Brief bio: lemon 33 married to SB (skinny bint) TTC for just over 2 yrs, 3x failed IUIs, and a lap&dye (which true to form showed my bits are perfectly normal) last week, so officially unexplained. Some more IUIs when I have recovered completely, which is nearly nearly, sans stitches today :)

Btw project BMI might kick in here too, I investigated gyms today. One of the more traumatic experiences for the lap was seeing my weight - BMI of 26.7 when I told myself I was still okay. A few more days and I can exercise again. But cycling and running simply does not appeal in the current rainy conditions...

PS guru with early differs we sometimes hold hands, but it is not the done things. There is more nekkid dancing than holding things besides gin.

Faith - it is for me, yeh. It just needs dedication. I am typically a triathlete (with some rolls) so my issue is that I am (quite) fit but a little overweight with it. I tend to lose fat and put on muscle so I doubt I will ever be a skinny twiggy type.

Before my diabetes diagnosis, I did a 12km run and a 60km cycle and the day I started vomiting with ketoacidosis I had swum 1km. The fitness side isn't my problem. It's now getting back into it and getting that dedication again.

sinky - ouch and bugger. You're the first real person who has actually been diagnosed as anovulatory. It's a word no one seems to understand but blames every month they don't fall pregnant.

yes weight loss buddies will be great! Is 5 x 5k runs a week sustainable?! I didn't read it like that til the additional comment..,

Ooh, intros.

I'm sinky/Hils/anything really, I'm a bit needy that way

Ttc from 2009 ish (less than careful the missing weeks of pills/ not restarting etc). Managed to have no periods over 12months and won myself a diagnosis of anovulatory pcos.

Since then have had 3 lots of clomid, the lap and ov drilling, then 5 more months of clomid (the sweats, the nightmares, the insommnia- joy). Have now been transferred to my local ivf centre for more investigations. Well, I say that, but currently, 5 months after being refered have filled in a form with my height and weight and given them the requested passport photo...

Am a touch frustrated and ratty at the mo. you may have noticed.

AND just to confirm - I am not planning on TTC with you. The "we" is that sudden mental leap from being "I" to "we will never be single again"

I need to lose about a stone as well. I am going to set myself my 5kms 5 x a week run to see if I can get it down by the same date as you so that we can TTC.

Fancy being weight loss buddies?

I am a bloody pretzel I am so bitter and twisted. But I hid that other thread (how growed up of me!!) so that I don't keep being wound up by them fuckingmumblemumblemumbles.

alwyn!! Don't I know you from one of my other threads???

I think I fit here. I like non-bullshit, non-holding hands and singing ring-a-ring-a-rosey, back patting, emotional dependent stuff. I like the straight forward stuff.

*round my village each evening since I can't gym/run due to chronic pain (hopefully to be cured by op!)

kick I need to lose at least a stone from when they weighed me ideally by September 6th so they don't warn me about being obese and the risk of a general anaesthetic. I am not 'dieting', I am eating more protein, less carbs, snacking on fruit and veg (actually I just had an Aldi style activia which was yummy with black forest fruits!) and walking r
