Argh, and be welcome to our new pirate Fred. Be finding yourself a parrot and a wooden leg and hop on board for the trip of a lifetime. Argh.
If ye be new and wantin' to join our motley crew, be filling in the BESHtionnaire application below. Argh.

That's a "c", right there...

wonderful dor congrats! have been out all day but saw your chart this morning when checking in for news of you all and felt pretty sure you'd be reporting back with good news!

Northey · 09/04/2012 19:14

Kat, jewels and dor, by my count.

How are you feeling, faithy? Like you're on the road to recovery?

My bank holiday has been filled with persuading AMNH to do one tiny item of DIY. Just having pasta and wine and then settling down to an evening of scrabble and booze. Except he seems to have locked himself away constantly refreshing the screen to see if his tedious football team has scored...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/04/2012 19:23

I dunno norf today has been two steps back for sure! Can't believe how much I've slept.
PESH wise there's starcuntmole too is there not? She's been super quiet lately. And blondie too....
Has he done the picture hooks yet for you norf? Pesky football eh?!

Just popping in to offer massive congrats to Dorothy. Always great to get a new BESH win.

blonderthanred · 09/04/2012 20:29

I am still lurking around and following the BESH avidly, shaking some hormones your way. Delighted by Dot's news and fingers xed for more. Nekkid dancing all round.

ps Faith I was very sorry to read about your hospital spell, hope you are much improved.

Northey · 09/04/2012 20:38

No, fucking picture hooks remain undone! Hey ho.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/04/2012 20:39

Hey truffers how nice of you to pop in! :) how is mini Truffers doing?
And blondie, good to know you're still lurking. How are you feeling? I am much improved thanks, but it's definitely two steps forward, one back!
Has anyone heard from cupofbrownjoy?

blonderthanred · 09/04/2012 21:32

Thanks Faithy. I'm glad you're on the mend. I'm ok, only time in my life I've welcomed nausea/loo trips/sore boobs. Had successful early scan at 7+6 (after scare with blood) and now 9+4. Still permanently terrified but also v happy. Hoping so much we will have a rash of BESH BFPs now.

Given that I hadn't shown any signs of ovulating for the last year, it still seems fairly unbelievable that it has happened, the month before docs would have started the Clomid route. My boss (expecting twins) is into the theory that pg hormones are 'catching' - she had fertility issues & IVF herself so doesn't mean it flippantly. No idea if that's even remotely possible but I certainly have been spending a lot of time with her lately.

FriendofDorothy · 09/04/2012 21:50

How fabulous that everyone is coming out for a win :)

Much appreciated. Still feeling a bit weirded out but I am ok.

Truffkin · 09/04/2012 22:40

I do like to keep an eye out! Mini Truff is gorgeous but testing the theory that sleep is for wimps at the moment, which is challenging! I am wishing all BESH the joy if sleepless nights eventually Wink

No BESH left behind!

MadameBoolala · 09/04/2012 23:27

Bloody Hell! Just popped by for a wee lurk and blow me down! Congratulations to Dor and Blonderouge, have these superglue tubes on me.

KatAndKit · 10/04/2012 05:24

Oh dor I am so so pleased for you :) :) :) When I saw you'd got to 16dpo I was pretty certain you'd be along with good news soon. Massive massive congratulations from me :) Wishing you a healthy and uneventful 8 months ahead. I am going to eat yet another Easter Egg now in the hope that it will cause another BESH to get a win too!

In other news I am going in for my induction the day after tomorrow. Aaargh. That is very soon sounding. Apparently there is a real baybee in me and they are going to get it out before the end of the week. Surreal. I have reached the end of De Nile. Perhaps I'd better write a birf plan or summat?

CaveMum · 10/04/2012 08:35

Ooo Kat how exciting! Wishing you a very sneeze-like birth Grin

In Cave-World, we have action! CBFM has given me 2 bars this morning and there is a faint line on the cheapy OPKs. HWHNN has been put on stand-by to do his bit for his country Wink
Thankfully we're both off work today and tomorrow, so in theory we can do the sechs every day bar Thursday.

KatAndKit · 10/04/2012 08:38

ooh go cavey good luck with the sechsing! Hoping that HWHNN will deliver the goods and make you the next ESH-differ :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/04/2012 09:25

Crikey it's all go here!
Well Hooray for mother nature and HWHNN's timetable finally giving you a break cavey! Happy sechsing! :)
Wow Kat can't believe it's go time! Yes perhaps a birf plan would be worth writing. Will you be requesting lots of painkillers?
Hey Boo nice to you to pop in! How are you luffly?

faithy I watched Grease too last night whilst sorting out the holiday photos. I watched that so many times when I was a kid. It was a real blast from the past.

Good luck for the induction Kat. Make sure you get the good drugs.

Just popping in to say congratulations to Doris :)

Happy happy news indeed :)

KatAndKit · 10/04/2012 13:29

Shagging leave!! I love it! I have often had times when I wanted to phone up work and say "not today, I'd rather stay in bed and have sex instead of doing work thank you very much". Holidays are good. I conceived this one on my last day of work of the summer term last school year - start of the summer holidays.

Itwasonastarrymole · 10/04/2012 14:24

I did see smoke signals on the horizon, and see that our AuntieD has had some fantabulous news! Congratumalations!! Here's to sticky wombles and velcro BOCs Smile

InTheSunshine · 10/04/2012 14:55

Sunny former BESH reporting for nekkid dancing.

Huge Congrats Dor. You must be over the moon! What fabulous happy news.

Well done Doris!

faith I saw brownjoy a few weeks ago and we're going skiing on Friday. She's fine but is taking a small break from ttc until after her wedding but I'm sure she'll be back and I will let her know you were asking after her. :)

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 10/04/2012 17:24

A BPF Dor? Congratulations - you must be delighted and slightly freaked out. Sending sticky vibes your way x
