Come along, we haven't got all day. Pop off your blazers and straw boaters for a mo and listen up. As Head Girl, I think you ought to know that my dear chum Darrell Rivers tells me that we're really letting the side down with our lack of baybee-winning. To that end, instead of prep and lacrosse, we'll be TTC. I know some of us are losing hope that we'll ever win the Motherhood Cup for our house, but chins up and think of England! We don't won't to end up like the bitter, childless, dried-up old spinsters running this place, do w... oh, hello Matron! Yes, yes, we're going now...

Super! We've been given the attic dorm - bagsy the bed by the window, what! We won't be disturbed when we're enjoying midnight feasts, unbridled lesbianism, pillow fights and sneaking in fellows from the nearby boy's school for some ghastly dreadfulness.

So let's pop some Joyce Grenfell on the gramophone and crack open the tuck boxes! Mater's made me a huge ginger cake and oooh, I see someone's brought pontefract cakes! Yummo! Humbugs, sherbet, elderflower fizz, eccles cakes, a whole slab of choccy - what a simply smashing haul! Hmmm, this ginger beer smells suspiciously gin-like...

Oh yes

I have sore boobs, and had to NOT buy a top today because it made me look busty (not good for school). I am NOT busty.

I have enormous amounts of creamy whit CM..am thinking of offering free top ups of jam jars there's so much...I mean it ain't egg white, but it'd prob do the trick. Is that a symptom??

Hmm
Scorpette · 02/09/2010 20:16

DIFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! Enbooberation (that's a proper word) and random excess FJ are both excellent signs of a win. How many DPO are you? Refresh my mammaries.

Ladeez - I leave you alone for a day and look what happens! So much to catch up on Smile

Lyra am pleased your ma and pa are managing to get away for a wee while. Hopefully will do papalyra the world of good.

salty go ahead - you know we all like a bit of menkul...

Thelovelyscorpalion, if you do want to meet, give me a shout! (and you too tarty). You knows you are lufferly. I like the idea of that little dome surrounding us all and keeping us away from the external shitness of the world.

Tartyfarty, pliz keep strong. Hope you enjoy your dinner. Mr T sounds like a good 'un. When will you know for sure?

saltyair · 02/09/2010 20:18

well, since you're offering..

erm...8 or possibly 9 I think....

Scorpette · 02/09/2010 20:30

Hmmm, that sounds reasonable to be showing some initial symptoms. We need some PESHes in here to give us their better judgement. OI, PREGGOS, WHADDAYFINK ABAHT SALTY'S SYMPTOMS?

Orchid, it's a future date! Grin All Robin Hood BESHies must dress in Lincoln Green and throw the traditional BESH gang shapes when we meet. Y'know, cradling an imaginary baby, poking some toilet paper aggressively at your flange, stabbing a teenage mum, weeping hysterically, that sorta thing Wink

this is too early to test. Also, I think if it was a no I would
a) not believe it because of being way too early/cheapo test/not the right sort of wee

b) have to go immediately to the pit.

saltyair · 02/09/2010 20:34
Saladbomb · 02/09/2010 20:54

salty i know this is very unBESH but DO NOT test yet, like you sad you wouldn't believe a BFN if you got one so you ight as well wait. You should wait until oooh at least tomorrow Wink

cinco had to chortle at the thought of MrT looking like BA Barracus, he is about as much like him as TB (who is a MrT IRL) He's a good un tho as orchid quite rightly said.

orcs whats up with you my lovely?

lyra ah hope MommaNPoppaRun have a smashing holiday. Tis lovely that they are going to get away from all the hospital stuff

Bad news my end as needles lady cant do next week (which would be OV day and perfect timing) and i cant do the week after (which would be perfect chance to catch implantation) so going to have to wait until end of cycle for another session. Poo. oh well, i cant seem to get upset about it (the power of the needles you see)

HopOnLegolas · 02/09/2010 20:55

SaladStorm you iz right, would be good to check both of you thoroughly. Aren't you finding out the jizz results this time?
LyraGal we seem to be getting v. similar tests, just that we bypassed the gyne. Most probably because our local hospital is in fact our FC. So everything done at the same place anyway. We've used the same hoppie for ages. But I really think gynos know a lot.
If this helps: soon after I was referred by my GP I got a phonecall from some central booking place and they told me to choose an FC. After I said, ehm, "any suggestions please?" they looked at what's closest to my postcode and my local hospital popped up. It had a longer wait than all others, but I chose it because I am familiar with it and is the closest. Later on I checked and it turns out it's got good results, hence the wait. But once you are in their system the wait for tests / next appointment is much shorter. From what I understand, they do not take on more than they can process in reasonable time. Anyway, I need lessons in conciseness. I meant to say: yes, you should have a choice from the start. After all, all this was happening in June/July so really not that long ago!

Now, can I ask you luvverly girls what IUI may involve, seeing as I may be in for it?

CorePette I like the idea of the article and raising awareness! Go girl! 5 DPO, you say?

In other news. I got a job. Noooooo! I do not want to sound ungrateful or summat, but I DON'T WANT TO WORK! Ok, it is an ungrateful moan, but can I pliz moan with the BESHes?

MeOldSalt your simpts sound tres promising. Creamy juz an' all. Shall we give it till Monday before kidney punch?

Casserole · 02/09/2010 20:57

I think it sounds promising Smellingsalts ... v promising Smile But I wouldn't test yet, for the exact same reasons you give above. The chance of it telling you what you want to hear at this point are so small. Don't crush hope before it needs to be. Just keeping pointing those big bazookas at us awhile instead, keep your mind off it Grin

saltyair · 02/09/2010 20:57

Monday. Yes, that sounds sensible.

sensible.

I can be sensible

Casserole · 02/09/2010 20:59

Hopon I still have no idea who you are! Can you give me a clue?

Lyra I'm so pleased he's well enough to go away. I hope they have a wonderful time. I'm still up and down, fanks for asking. Right now : not so bad.

Casserole · 02/09/2010 21:00

Oooh! Buxom .... Grin

Muser · 02/09/2010 21:19

Definitely promising. But NO testing. Hold off until Monday.

MrsFC · 02/09/2010 21:22

Ooh salts.... Are you tired? Do you feel like you are wading through mud? That was a symptom of mine...

Ariesgirl · 02/09/2010 21:35

DON'T TEST YET SALTS. Tis my firm and unBESHly opinion that that way madness lies. But creamy pantsnot and sore boobage sound good baby!

Lyra glad to hear Pops seems to be doing ok and I hope they have a lovely break. They certainly deserve it after all the shit they've been through.

"Feel like you are wading through mud". I'll have to add that one to my list

cincotart · 02/09/2010 21:40

Well laydeez I am back from my luverly tapas tea which also involved wine, amaretto and a couple of fags. I shall go straight to damnation if perchance this IUI haz worked....am a bit too tipsy (and Blush at the fact it's only 9.30pm, we started early and I am now a lightweight drinker). Am in a very much better mood, helloped my Mr T listening for the last 3 hours to my consistent ranmblings about how I really want a baybee and how great we'll be as parents. Even got our boys name sorted Grin Drunken posting...sign of a true BESH me thinks Hmm

salts mahoosive boobs and excessive CM. Def diffed Grin

Merry band of BESHes meet is on luvverley maid marions Grin

Soz if I haz missed stuff...screen is a bit hazy........................................

Scorpette · 02/09/2010 21:46

DO NOT TEST YET. Just enjoy a menkul weekend and if you have any sanity left on Monday, test then :)

Been googling needling and think it might be worth a try. Headaches, stress and undiffedness treatment all in one! Sooooooo, can anyone recommend an acupunk acqueuepunc actupunt helpful stabbing lady in central Birmingham. Will follow clues if it is a "she who cannot be named" magical power spell breaking kind of issue.

LadyGoneGaga · 02/09/2010 21:56

Salts sounds v promising. You can chuck in hyper senstive sense of smell and feeling a bit faint on standing up too quick into the things to spot if you like? What is your cervix doing? Do you temp? If so watch for it going up again.

Don't test yet though - I got BFN's dpo 9 and dpo 11. Then finally BFP dpo14. T'will depress you and you won't believe it anyway.

owlshoes · 02/09/2010 21:58

Footnote regarding symptoms to look out for: I did not get any symptoms at all prior to (fleetingly) finding out I was updiffed. Just really typical PMT/droid cramps and going to the loo in the night more than usual.

Was so typical of normal PMT that I went out and bought OPK sticks for the next round instead of the HPT that would have been more use. Doh.

Cass HopOn = climb on top of in a sexshooal way = Mount...

There's yer clue. :)
