The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

Arf at definition of insanity! Although don't we all attempt 'something different' every so often in the hope it will achieve a different outcome?!

Weirdly I got a letter from my GP saying although my smear was normal it showed thrush. I'm currently treating so I doubt there'll be too much sechsing here for now.

sinky definitely could be - get your nicest under crackers on to be taken off!

I think I knew by 5 months something wasn't right with us, although perhaps only because we weren't sechsing as much as I knew we needed to (despite MSB saying he wanted to make a baybee). I remember being upset at my friend's hen do when two girls were pregnant, which would have been us TTC for about 7 months. That was two years ago The two preggos are now diffed with #2 and the bride who started TTC on honeymoon has an 8 month old. Ah well.

No alcohol yesterday means less calories in, I've eaten well today and been for a 4k walk. I will get my BMI down!

Yes, I guess some of these women are actually next generation BESH. Unless any of them has said "hun" in which case they can cock off. I might start a spreadsheet now to keep track of who needs a pointed rebuff later. Oh the meanness of me.

Of course you could be ovulating, sinkingflameofmenkul! Anyway, as I understood it, all bets are off when it comes to identifying ovulation in a PCOSer, so I should definitely go for it.

euro, you'll be relieved to hear that this evening's sechs didn't feature you at all :o

Heh@definition of insanity. I think that makes us all completely loopy then!

Yup Cave, that's the same special soldier that was talking about 3 cycles as long term TTC. Sigh. I might have got involved, but it made my brain itch even reading the post so uncharacteristically stepped away from the fred

I have no droidal hormones to blame for my intolerance, but tend to not suffer fools gladly at any time.

So, back to menkulling madness, am cd10 after mammoth 77day cycles. Have been getting what looks suspiciously like ewcm since cd8. Early ovulation signs? It could be, right?

"the definition of insanity, doing the same thing repeatly and expecting a different result"..

Now, now ladies. I have to say by month 4/5 of proper trying, I just knew something was wrong. Ok, we had been quite careless for a long while before that and I'd managed to rech 35 without an inkling of an unwanted pregnancy, but I just knew and was already starting to get quite disheartened about ttc.

I remember talking to one girl on MN about TTC and she said its just taking so long She was in the TWW and she got her BFP that cycle. It had been four months. I find saying how long I've been TTC on normal threads tends to lead to pity or just I keep me distance.

Oh that's shyte, Cavey.

I'm finding having no cycle at the moment as a result of the IVF drugs rather freeing. It's back to sff any way we fancy it. I don't automatically know all the time what cycle day I am on. If I didn't have a slight worry about my cycle coming back and a bigger worry about the fanny verrucae (as we have christened it), this would be wonderfully relaxing. I highly recomment taking a cycle or two off when it all gets too much for the sake of your sanity!

cave, stumbling onto a baby dust thread? You know better than that! I flicked over after you posted and saw someone suggesting starting a thread for prolonged TTC. At cycle 3.

I've discoved BESH style chatter is both unwelcome and misunderstood on the sparkly freds. He he.

That is what we speculated as we drive past a big pile!

Oh cavey I'm sorry to hear that.

Random horse question - you know how you have to scoop up dog poo or there's a fine? What about horses? A girl rides her horse round the village and it often poos on the road. It's quite messy! Does it decompose quickly?

camel here's hoping its too early.

Oh sorry cavey cross posts.

Hello lovely BESH.

Hurrah for ok weddings and the finding of lost orgasms!

Cavemeister - you're not in too bad company, (batty and hormone filled but not bad). I POAS and got BFN yesterday as well. My own fault. Too early but the eBay cheapies were calling my name when I went for my 5am wee. Hope something happens one way or the other soon

Not much doing here today. HY working allllllll day so just me and the tinker hanging out. Much prefer the sound of some of your Sundays - pubs and brunches and afternoon humping all sound much more fun.

Yes I found that a little odd too and in no way thought of it when we had similar ishoos yesterday between wedding breakfast and evening do only to have our friends ask just exactly how long it takes to book into a hotel room?!

Norfy yes, I have. Twice this morning in fact (Mr euro has a chest infection and took himself off to the spare room so I could experiment). So my hormones must be sorting themselves out.

We were spared the pleasure of spending the morning with two couples and their little ones (the potential host also being diffed with #2) because she's woken up snuffly. Driving home in the sunshine listening to oasis :) with brunch planned when we get back. Then I think it'll be a chilled put afternoon with ironing and maybe a film?!

norf that sounds very adventurous! Enjoy.

euro I am thinking of you while all this is going on.

I was thinking of you last night, euro, as I tried and failed to get into sechsing properly. Have you rediscovered your orgasm yet?

I love that New Radicals song!

Boooo for the BFN.

faif it sounds like you have had a tough weekend. Next weekend I have the delight of a christening at the other end of the country. So we are staying at a hotel with two close friends, one of who will be there with her 8 month old and the other with his preggo wife.

sinking the anecdotes help, thanks. The internet is full of horror stories. But those are a self-selecting group. You are more likely to go onto an internet forum looking for advice or wanting to rant if you are having problems after the procedure. I think the risk of prem labour is "only" 12% or so. But given we are in the 5% who can't get updiffed after bloody ages of trying, it would be just my luck...

I'm another intermittent ring wearer. I put mine on most days when I leave the house, but then remove them to type, wash hands, when I get home, etc. So I reckon I wear them for about an hour a day. I am sure I am going to end up leaving them somewhere because I take them off so much.

Mountain climbing :) And then a few hours in a pub for exhausted pint-drinking and steak-eating. Then back to the b&b to obey the little flowers on my ovulation app. Assuming AMNH's pint-drinking hasn't gone too far...

I'd do it too cave. Like you say- shorter cycle, increased liklihood of ovulation and maybe one more chance before they move you on to other things?

Ooh, I'm blind. What's the sparkly thing on your finger norf?!

I stuck it out til the end last night and I'm glad I did :) right at the very end the DJ played New Radicals You've got the music in you which is kind of our anthem. We were sitting in the bar at that point and my friend I went running to the dance floor! I was a bit overcome with emotion at that point! Of all the weddings I've been to, I don't think I've ever seen a couple so well suited. They're both such kind hearted people they'll do well together. So I kind of did sing my heart out, but with J2Os and purple Mary Janes

Lazy morning in hotel before trundling back to the shire in the sunshine. What's everyone up to?

I was given that option cave, I chose not to carry on, but I'd felt pretty shitty on the clomid.
