Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

The whore has arrived. :( Oh well, at least I know I'm a true barren if nothing else having done it at all the right times this month and still nothing. bastard thing.

thanks for warning off the Droid lemon, somehow doesnt feel like it's listening to you though :(

What's a 'woo' thread?

Nobelwitch I am sure we can share the Cod, she's rather large. Good luck at Create today. I am scared for you. But it won't involve downregging, so that has to be good. Also, plenty of sand for burying heads round here!

Different as in longer, I am 26/27 day girl, who can tell an ovulation a mile off. And now it has been 30 days since MC and I think I had an egg sometime between 14 and 10 days ago. But I am not sure.

Don't you dare to come and bother rasberry, stupid Droid.

The Cod of Comfort needs to breed, quickly (quicker than us, anyway!), so there is enough to go around. Sorry that so many of us are having shitty times. I'm on day 16. Post ov, pre-menkulling. Might have one last swi for luck today.

I'm off to an open day at Create later. I feel fairly relaxed about it at the moment, but it will no doubt make IVF seem real again.

Oh hairy balls, droid cramps have arrived. Gallons of blood by tomorrow no doubt. I've also got a sore throat, fuckity fuck

Different how, limoncello?

I'm sorry about the crying :( I wish all this pregnancy loss grief would fuck the fuck off.

Oh and I am still waking the night and not getting back to sleep. But I have womble grumples as well, so droidal invasion expected in the next few days. Btw post-MC cycles are disconcertingly different...

Morning hags!

You're all up very early. I thought I'd be the first in here!

Jethro I had your wobbles before starting IUI about 6 months ago and will do again if we start IVF, which I am putting my head firmly in the sand about.

I feel very rough this morning, because I had a bad night sleep after a bottle of Rioja (which was lovely, although I had a little MC-related cry about halfway through) and in true barren, what-do-you-do stylee, we did do the sechsing pre-dinner last night. It is just as well, because post-Rioja we were both fairly sleepy.

Now off to start a grey day. Here's the Cod of Comfort back, norf. I have been cuddling it for weeks, so it may be a little smelly.

I was woken at 6 by ghj going to work, but losing his phone in the bedroom first.

Am now luxuriating in bed with tea and jammy toast. And pealed grapes, obvs.

I was at 6am by a very insistent colon... Also because there was no oxygen left in the bedroom after AMNH's post-curry flatulence. These truly are the joys of a childless existence.

How are you feeling this morning?

It's all about the formula one, Jethro! Stupid Korea, being in an inconvenient time zone...

Norf, I guessed from your earlier posts that the win did not last - so sorry :(

at Cod of Comfort Norf you need to trademark that!

Thanks for understanding BESH. It's shitty being a Barren but at least I have other Barrens that don't think I'm a complete weirdo.

Why are so many of us up early on a Saturday anyway - don't us Barrens live the life of Riley, lazing in bed on silk sheets and having loads of The Sechs because We Don't Have Children?!

It was another ectopic, in my case. Just mentioning it in case you get the wrong end of the stick and ask me how my baybee is, btw.

In which case, I shall remain hopeful! :)

Day two of droid's stay so far. If it's still here at day ten I'm going to go to the GP - the last three cycles have had droid here for 12-14 days, which is taking te piss.

Leaving a stressful job (in what sound like similar circs - I was quite deranged by the end) and taking some time off won me a bfp last year. I think it took 3 cycles, so you are due a win.

Oh, nothing really. But getting up at 5.45 and watching qualifying is not "normal" so my innards go WTF and play up. Stress doesn't have to be very severe to affect my insides! You can imagine the state I was in during my last couple of months at work, with HR heavily involved and then resigning due to stress! I became quite good at downing tools and getting to the loo as quickly as possible.

I was hopeful that being a lady of leisure (and associated lack of stress) would help us win a baybee, but that hope is dwindling now I've had two and a half cycles since my last day. Still, it means more gin-time, I guess.

I seem to have a wobbly stomach this morning as well. Probably as a result of the aforementioned overeating last night.

What are you stressing about?

Probably just getting up too early, norf. I have a very weak stomach/bowel that panics and ejects all contents at the slightest sign of illness/stress. It means I am completely au fait with throwing up, but it is tiresome.

Do you know why, draf?

I feel a bit crap too. In my case it's from overeating yesterday and then sleeping badly.

Arrrrgh, I feel sick. This is not allowed. I have no problem with throwing up if I'm ill (which I'm not), or if I'm diffed (which I'm not). Feeling sick otherwise is NOT OKAY.

I once watched an episode of the tv series Cold Comfort Farm? Not sure if that makes me cultured. I suspect not.

Rethink in a "life is passing me by while I fanny around trying to make the improbable possible" kind of way.

I shall adjourn, and dream of Frankle. And possibly be in a better mood tomorrow after a run and a dose of the woo needle man. But no herbs. Managed that one dose, almost vomed and have hidden the rest in a tea caddy.

I am going to post just one more before I stagger to bed. This was his win in the 2,000 Guineas, one of the most prestigious races a colt can win, back in May 2011. I was there, screaming my head off near the winning post. Every time I watch this race back I am blown away.

Even if you don't like or understand racing, you can hear from the incredulity in the commentators voice that this horse is something special.

Here endeth the sermon

Sorry. I may have given the impression with my Cold Comfort Cod comment that I am au fait with Cold Comfort Farm. I haven't - I lack culture.
