Rules of entry: must be ttc #1 for over a year, be suitably evil and hag-like, and submit your BESHtionnaire for our approval. If you are a baby duster or a hun, this ain't the thread for you.

In order to join the BESH you MUST be over 30 and TTC for baybee no. 1 for over a year, be ok with swearing, shout CUNT at the world on a daily basis and howling at the moon should be a regular occurrence. BESHtionnaires must be submitted - no admittance allowed without it (we just want to snigger at your lesbian crush - it's true).Â

Revised BESHtionnare for reference

  1. Do you like gin? (This is compulsory, you must say 'Yes')

  2. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?

  3. Baybee-making - to put a baybee in your tumtum, which hole do you use:
    a) weewee
    b) poopoo
    c) foofoo
    d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

  4. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you:
    a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway.
    b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

  5. Is R2D2:
    a) an adorable robot from Star Wars.
    b) the source of all evil.

  6. Number of pets?

  7. Inappropriate (read: weird) crush of shame?

  8. Lesbian crush?

  9. How much money have you spent on sticks you then urinate on?
    a) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it.
    b) Over 100 quid
    c) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks

  10. Which of these sentences is appalling:
    a) Off to see the consultant today!!! So excited!!!!!
    b) Gud luck hun sprinkling babydust for ya lol xxx
    c) both of the above

  11. How barren are you?
    a) childless and TTC for at least one year
    b) one child and TTC #2 for at least two years
    c) I've been trying for 2 cycles and the wait is driving me mad!

If (c) then the BESH is not the thread for you.

Thank you all Hags for your amazing support. Sadly it was a bfn. The clinic says I should stay on the drucks for another few days and test again which I shall do but I can't see it changing now as ovulation was 16 days ago. To say I'm gutted is an understatement. So sorry that I've not been able to change the luck of the fred. SadSad

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 23/02/2015 08:44

EricaJ · 23/02/2015 06:54

Fab Thinking of you, lovely! I am traveling at the moment and while I am not the religious type, I shall do a little flower offering for you at one of the many temples around.

Love it when the PESH and CRESH pop by, feeling the hope and good vibes! Specially MissH for reminding me that third and even fourth time lucky can happen!!

cherrycoconut · 23/02/2015 06:45

Can't believe how nearly cooked you are MissH, scary and wonderful in equal measure! Are you the solitary PESH? Great to see all you hags over here but by god we need to move some BESH up the food chain...

cherrycoconut · 23/02/2015 06:42

Feeling sick on your behalf this morning Fab.

ALittleFaith · 22/02/2015 15:56

Argh.

Fabuluce · 22/02/2015 14:48

Miss how's it going in PESH land? How far along are you now?

Fabuluce · 22/02/2015 14:45

Awwww Hags you're all awesome Smile if it was possible to be pregnant purely on positive vibes then I'd be showing off my omgivfquads scans in a few weeks for sure!! I'm trying not to think about it (cue maniacal laugh) as when I do I start having a bit of a panic. What would I do without you lot? Shoulder punches all round (whilst surreptitiously wiping a bit of dirt out of my eye). Last few hours of PUPO and I shall shortly be popping out to see some friends and then going out for dinner with family so that should kill time nicely. I dread to think what my sleep is going to be like tonight...

Barking - no worries about the diet then - I was just wondering if there was anything you could do to help things as your body has been so run down with illness. Maybe a 4 hour cycle ride isn't going to help the piles though Wink

MissHobart · 22/02/2015 13:11

Popping in to scream COW and send sticky thoughts for fab tomorrow! Plus an early PUPO! Wink

All the other BESH, I'm keeping an eye on you, still hoping for the clusterdiff to keep me company over in desolate PESH land! Grin

FrankelandFilly · 22/02/2015 12:25

Marking my spot for news tomorrow. Everything crossed and the will of the ESH are behind you Fab

chez I'm so glad you have a good support team in RL for yourself (as well as here, obviously!). So much to deal with, and I don't have anything useful at all to add I'm afraid other than to give you a huge squeeze and some eels of endurance.

fab I am so nervous on your behalf right now, keeping every last limb and digit crossed for you for tomorrow and will be yelling COW every hour. Are you due at work tomorrow?

barking just when I think you're about as hard as someone can be, you up the ante again! Cycling for 4 hours with piles!! Jokes aside, I am sorry you're getting illness after illness right now, hopefully just an unfortunate side effect of winter combined with all the stress you've been through recently. Your diet sounds great to me! Good luck for tomorrow, hope you get a good plan put together.

bad how are you feeling? Hope it wasn't the flu!

erica weeknight drinking is always a danger, I try never to do it but inevitably fall off the wagon now and then and suffer the results for days afterwards

blue you what? How young are we talking? That is scary, but m assuming based on you having had kids when you wouldn't have been much more than one yourself?
I don't know if any of you ever play the 'what if' game with yourself about having tried for kids earlier, I definitely do but even with all of our ttc woes I don't think I'd trade my current situation for having been a mum at 21 or something like that. I still feel like the pros of being independent and free in our twenties was worth it. Maybe when I'm 45 and still childless I'll feel differently, but not for now!

Right, time to go and get dressed!
