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

Oh Gaga please try not to worry (i know this is a stupid thing to say but try anyway) it does sound like it might be cycle bleeding. BESH candle lit here too, I could only find a cheap tea light but it is burning some lovely essential oils (got quizzed by TB for it) Take care of yourself tonight and good luck tomorrow xx

Also starting to freak out about the FC trinity too. The ridiculous/embarrassing questions on my list are as follows:

  1. Does saliva have spermicidal properties?
  2. Which (if any) sexual position maximizes the chances of updiff and which will end in baybee fail?
  3. Is a post ejaculation orgasm a necessity for diffment.
  4. Are any of the following post coitus activities known to aid diffment a/ pelvis floor clenches, b/ raised hips c/ shoulder stand with cycling legs.
  5. Where the fecking feck is my fecking baybee?

How am I doing? I can't ask all of these, we are going to have to share them out.

poo we also use spittle for lube, have stopped now (since yesterdays revelations) but am totally smacking my forehead FGS.

(chocho have you ever played a computer game called Worms? Confused)

i seriously want to be a fly on the wall at your FC interview!!

Casserole · 07/09/2010 20:37

Oh Gaga I'm so sorry, what a worry. I also think brown is good though - or at least better than red.

I had a couple of episodes of bleeding with Onepot - I think I was a bit further along, but it resolved and he went on to be fine. I know some people find that sort of story comforting and others don't so I hope you're the former, otherwise please ignore it.

Get your feet up and rest. Has the bleeding changed at all?

Thinking of you.

PollyPoo · 07/09/2010 20:44

Oh LadyG I'm so sorry about the brown stuff. Really hoping all will prove ok and Mr LGGG is at home and taking good care of you. BESH candle lit. Good luck for tomorrow. x

ginhag · 07/09/2010 20:44

LadyGoneGaga · 07/09/2010 20:51

Thanks all. OH stuck in Glasgow though, missed last train and no more now til morning. Am half wondering whether to tell him not to bother - such a long way. But a. if worst case I don't want to be on my own,if b, best case, he won't want to miss out. So just got my little man for company tonight. Hopefully OH will get here in time for scan tomorrow as not til 2.

Thanks again for all the candles etc. You can adminsister the punches and beasting tomorrow when I've been a silly sod

PollyPoo · 07/09/2010 20:55

Oh what a fucker about Glasgow GaGa. I hope you manage to have a restful night. Will be crossing everything for you tomorrow afternoon.

Saladbomb · 07/09/2010 20:56

"beasting" eh ladyG Hmm :( that OM can't get back but you have the wee man and also us. It will be ok!

salts no way can i ask all of those :( (although i am really really curious to see what they would say if i did)

Ariesgirl · 07/09/2010 20:58

Have you got any friends or family nearby, LadyG? Though I guess you haven't told anyone yet anyway.

Ariesgirl · 07/09/2010 20:58

x posts Salad. Cheers old mucker.

saltyair · 07/09/2010 21:10

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

LadyG I don't have any candles, so will the gas burner on my oven do?

Saladbomb · 07/09/2010 21:15

do you promise?

I am a bit Hmm about FC today, girl I work with had her first appointment yesterday and they gave her 3 months of Clomid straight of the bat, she has PCOS so don't know if thats why but i find that all a bit swift. Not sure why or what I find troubling about it but I do.

salty how are you feeling today? eh eh?

PerfectDromedary · 07/09/2010 21:43

LadyG BESH candle lit here also.

Please to ritually beat me about the head with fish? I am feeling utterly incompetent - had to drive across London from Isle of Dogs to Teddington (SW, near Richmond) today because of sodding tube strike. Drive all fine, got to carpark, managed to twat bumper and headlight into someone else's taillight. Please share your stories of driving incompetence so I don't feel so alone...?

Lettice I would be a bit Hmm as well. Afaik, Clomid not useful for PCOS.

Does anyone want my copy of The Infertility Cure, btw?

Saladbomb · 07/09/2010 21:50

I would highly recommend someone snap that up, I am loving the lovely pollys copy that she so kindly sent me.

Well apparently the drug they would normally give for PCOS doesn't apply to her as she is not overweight (which is 'normal' for PCOS sufferers)? I was a bit Hmm at that as well. Still not my problem I spose.

ChoChoSan · 07/09/2010 22:01

Yo. I am in bed on my iPhone ...I know 'don't dream it...live it!', but had to post to say good luck for tomorrow GG. Hopefully all will be well for you, and it's really good that you already have a scan booked. I'll ne watching out with fingers crossed.

'SaladinSane' Worms???? sorry don't get the link < thick emoticon>

starnosemole · 07/09/2010 22:09

I once drove out of our drive in a rush to pick some one up from the station, reversed into the lamp post outside, knocked lamp post over, and didn't notice until I came back from the station. Does that help? [maureen from driving school emotion]

BTW meant to say thanks to all for Besh luck today, certainly did the trick (feeling slightly duplicitous as in fact that is now my working week over, being a part time work shy fop! TFIT!)
Wishing to say something helpful and constructive re Barren Menders, but limited experience means I'll just give you a glasgow kiss instead lollorossopop

Saladbomb · 07/09/2010 22:09

'revengay' was one of the things the little worms used to say, just before they would blow you up with a bazooka. Its the only other place I've heard it :D Obscure reference, soz, ignore me...
Right i'm going to concentrate on This is England now... (if i am not too distracted by thought of cho in her nighty)

Saladbomb · 07/09/2010 22:12

ohh drom forgot to say our old car looked somewhat like it had been in demo derby as i had a terrible habit of driving it into things, luckily inanimate objects and street furniture mostly but occasionally other cars. I am dreading the first time i dink the new car (inevitable) I am a good driver but my depth of field is a bit crap due to v strong stigmatism (thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it)

right TIS now.

Headbanger · 07/09/2010 22:15

Drom I do not drive, and as such am overawed by anyone that can tell a gear-stick from a windscreen wiper without the assistance of a Haynes Manual.

PerfectDromedary · 07/09/2010 22:19

Thank you, my preciouses. I always feel that I'm the only driver on the road to fuck up.

owlshoes · 07/09/2010 22:27

Naw, Drom it's def. not only you. My brother backed into a lamp-post and wrote off the car ( mole , you're not secretly my brother are you?)

Except he was in the middle of the school grounds and everyone came out to point and laugh. Poor lamb.

Wall of BESHflames, anyone?

It should keep ariel in the palais, anyway. WHERE SHE BELONGS. (welcome back lovely) ;)

starnosemole · 07/09/2010 22:35

chausseuresd'hibou (oo la-la) not unless he's had surgery to provide him with these slightly drooping splendid f cups? am going to bed before 12 tonight, so sue me. A demain suckers.

Scorpette · 07/09/2010 22:37

Drom, I am nearly 38 and can't drive - does that count as driving incompetence?

Peeps, I have The Infertility Cure. The book, I mean, sadly not the Real Thing*. And I can HIGHLY recommend it. It is TOPP, as any fule kno.

RieRie! I knew you couldn't keep away for long. Come and sit on my lap. No, I insist. I mean, I REALLY INSIST. BLOODY GET OVER HERE, BITCH! Never leave us again!

LGGG, still thinking of you, still sending all the luckiest vibes in the world :)
