Yippee Kiyay - it's the BESH Action Hero Thread

I happened to notice that a few pages back you were considering a recruitment drive....do I qualify? I am getting more and more barren (and more and more bitter) with every passing month....

Brief credentials: between 2008-2010 had 3 mmc and bunch of tests, most of which I can no longer remember, took a break, then June 2012-present have so far racked up 1 mmc, 1 referral to another mc clinic and 1 referral to genetic counsellor....

So if I'm a suitable candidate, let me know and I'll dig out the BESHtionnaire...

Morning, quick waves. I admitted my misadventure with the O-stick to SB this morning, which lead to me being laughed at and then some sechsing for fun. I am allowed but too scared to buy and pee on fivers. And now I am spotting. Not diffed then...

Hugs to bugs

Massive well done to the septuplets, norf!

Tipps! It's good to have you back (albeit briefly!). IVF really does take the pressure off. After more than two years of shagging to schedule, it will be amazing to do it for fun again. I've been too scared so far (since before EC), but plan to rugby tackle KFZK into bed later. ;)

It does sound like he could do with some counselling, either alone or as part of a couple. It can't be good for either of you to be in a sexless relationship. I hope the current situation is shortlived.

Aww, rasp :( Sorry you're finding it so hard, understandable though it is. I can't imagine HOTB asking to avoid sex, I suspect both of us would get quite frustrated quite fast! Fingers crossed for both your sakes that you get back into SFF soon.

Also, without trying to sound like a massive dick, if we could avoid "gay" as a derogatory term, I'd appreciate it.

I doubt he'd go, I thought maybe for both of us. He's taken it all a bit hard I think but hasn't liked to admit it. I think its hit us how fucking long we've been trying. But hey ho, the end is in sight, we'll have a round of IVF and I think that will be it for us, I really don't think we've got the fight in us to do more than one round. Clomid was stressful enough as it is!

I was thinking more for him actually xx

Nope, no counselling. I can't face anymore sitting in waiting rooms just now, ironic really as that's what I need the help with but I'm just mucking through, a couple more months wont do any more harm at this stage, nearly 4 years down the line. Scary

Have you had counselling, Rasp?

No date yet Norf, waiting to hear from the clinic but I suspect our paperwork is sat on some crappy desk at the referring hospital I suspect but they said to expect around autumn time, could be sooner though if the hospital pulls their finger out!

Ooh hello, rasper! You have been missed. When are you starting ivf?

Evening ladies,
Thought I would drop (kick) by and dish out some kidney punches, ala Arnie style......
I'm really not much good at keeping up with fred feems!

Congratulations to the differs, fabulous news.

Bugs I'm so sorry to hear your news though, massive hugs, this TTC game really is a shitbitch.

Norf I am impressed with your follies, they have done well!

Hello everyone else :) I miss everyone but I just can't emotionally commit at the moment, I know that sounds gay but it's just the very act of logging on to Mumsnet, I don't just check this thread, I end up on the infertility thread, then the pregnancy, then adoption, then parenting threads. Just torturing myself really. MATV and I had 'the big talk' too after a row about sex, he wants to take a break for a while seeing as we are waiting for IVF. I was thinking a break more as in we'd be DTD but not paying attention to fertile times, he meant a break as in he just didn't want sex for a while. So we are currently sexless. Joy :/ so, I have mainly been concentrating on weights, diet and pole dancing, oh and course work! Should probably do more coursework really. We feel really happy together as a couple, just a couple that doesn't have sex which feels really odd. I don't want that to be a lasting thing, its important to me TTC or not, I NEED sex (I'm currently fertile so horny as hell - can you tell).

Anyway, hello and bye bye again xxx

Starflower oil is good to, but so expensive.

See, see - EPO does make a difference (I was very sceptical to begin with, but a now complete convert).

I wanna furry hot water bottle. :(

Ouch rie The cat I used to live with was a bigger fan of stepping on bladders, but during droid time he lay nicely on my tummy, like a furry feline hot water bottle. I get bad buzzwams pre-droid, I have to sleep in a sports bra. No tips but sympathy.

I do all that

Mind you I didn't take any EPO this month because I'd run out and hadn't been arse to get any more, which is maybe why it's bad again. The wretched cat was lying on my chest this morning, and did a flying leap off it when MrA got up to feed her. Little cow.

Arf at "type like a chimp".

I like the fred proposal Rie.

I used to get the excruciating buzzwam pain. Speedbumps would literally bring tears to my eyes. EPO and B vits helped. (When you are ttc, don't take EPO after ov though.)

PS - moll it's really not interesting at all - I'm a lawyer, so spend my day carefully drafting documents using very precise language and (hopefully) correct grammar, so we don't end up with any Eats Shoots and Leaves-type debacles. And then I come on here and type like a chimp.

Brrr, bit cold in the Antartic. I am shattered, finished work almost 5 hours late, back in for 7am - dunno how I would actually manage a baybee.

Vair well done on the 7 norf, end-of-movie medals for that! But okra? Really??

Well done MrA on the new job.

driz - very interesting... Gloves in cupboard an be shared between you and frank later

buggers ((hugs))

even

Back in the day we filled a thread in a week and a half. But there were a lot more BESH then. With a lot more time on their hands ;)

Now THAT is a good idea for a thread.
(not that it's anything to do with me)

I cannot have this much buzzwam pain for the rest of this cycle. There are about 8 days to go yet FFS. I occasionally get cycles like these. The soreness is something else.

GOT IT! Well it's obvious innit.

The next one will be....a Scott of the Antarctic thread. There are penguins in the Antarctic. Scott's mission was based around ponies which he refused to eat thereby condemning the whole expedition to a long, slow, cold and lonely death but that's not important right now

How about it? A polar exploration theme. And by the looks of the expedition photos, Scott was a bit of a hottie. However I'm more of a Shackleton girl myself. Shackleton could be said to be the BESH mascot - never give up in the face of extreme adversity and all that.

Ooh yes. I loved pony books. Even now I get cross at AMNH when he sniggers at the title of Jill Enjoys Her Ponies. But how will we integrate the penguins?
