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...

Wow it's like an ESH reunion in here! dottie how are you feeling?! Did you wake up this morning and it just hit you?
Thanks for the update on brown pone! Good to hear she's ok. Do you send my regards when you go skiing!

Wow - I can't overindulge on eggs and spotting from bloody 11dpiui without missing a Huge Win. Fabulous news, dot! So happy for you. At least I can do my nekkid dancing with the post-droidal-arrival normal sized boobs. Pls pass the tassles!

Waves at scary numbers of unknown or only heard of BESH...

FriendofDorothy · 10/04/2012 19:09

I woke up this morning thinking 'fuck... I need to test again just to make sure'.

I still don't feel pregnant in any way shape or form so still finding it all a bit odd, and then I start indulging in 'what if it doesn't stick' type thoughts!

Tis good to know that they're still around, still luffly and now they are mostly PESH or CRESH.

Try to enjoy the pg, dot, you get your WIN, and now it is tense til 12 wks (or longer if it is indeed twins!) But whatever happens, this is such good news.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/04/2012 20:05

Dor I'm not surprised you feel like that. I think ttcing for so long it's natural to be nervous for such a hard-fought win. I won't serve you platitudes like It'll be ok because we don't know that it will. But we will be here for you every step of the way. Clomid twin baybees would be super awesome! Grin

OP posts:
Northey · 10/04/2012 20:30

Twin baybees! How fab would that be?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/04/2012 20:54

worried my post sounded too negative course dor there's no reason why this win won't stick. I just understand why you're worried - I imagine I will be if when I get my win!

OP posts:
CaveMum · 10/04/2012 21:05

Dor your thoughts and fears are totally understandable. We're all here to hand-hold, hair-stroke, nipple-tweak, whatever you fancy Wink

So who's next up for kidney prodding? I'm hoping for a cluster-diffing Grin

[rubs Dor's belly for luck]

Northey · 10/04/2012 21:06

You can prod me in a fortnight, I would guess. Though who knows, with my cycles. Maybe I just want you to prod me Wink

MadameBoolala · 10/04/2012 21:12
FriendofDorothy · 10/04/2012 21:15

A cluster-diff would be splendid. Thankyou everyone very much for enduring my menkulling. I know it is hard when someone else gets a win and then they are all wobbly about it.

Twins would be AMAZING! We do have twins in the family so I am fingers crossed!

Northey · 10/04/2012 21:37
HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/04/2012 21:47

Ooh Northey, give us a shimmy!
I won't be due for a kidney prod for a good 3 weeks yet but will happily volunteer nearer the time!
In other news, MSB set a pass word on his new iPhone today. Now he is locked out of said iPhone Confused

InTheSunshine · 10/04/2012 21:50

TWINZ?!? Now that would be cause for actual real dancing!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 10/04/2012 22:10

I'll join in on the kidney prodding in 2 weeks although god only knows when droid due

Try and enjoy your diffedness dor and less of the wobbling missy.

QuickQuickSloe · 10/04/2012 22:47

I heard nekkid dancing was required? Congrats Dor Smile

MadameBoolala · 10/04/2012 22:51
QuickQuickSloe · 10/04/2012 23:02

Had forgotten I'd name changed! Is me, bitey Grin

Northey · 11/04/2012 07:05

How are things this morning, dor? Have you pissed on 20 more sticks just to be sure?

FriendofDorothy · 11/04/2012 07:41

Just pissed on one more... still pregnant. Yay!

Still wandering around going 'well' though!

KatAndKit · 11/04/2012 07:45

dor everyone menkuls at first it's par for the course. Remember that today you are pregnant and the odds are always vastly in your favour once you have your bfp. Repeat this mantra as required. If you have pennies I can strongly recommend the 8-9 weeks private scan to break up the long wait.

Northey · 11/04/2012 08:04

Never mind, kat, the tea's the important thing.

FriendofDorothy · 11/04/2012 08:16

I have booked to see my GP next week because as I am officially obese I fall into a special category with a special policy all of my own. I am hoping they will scan me early anyway if they are following this policy!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 11/04/2012 08:41

Oh dor going round saying "well" seems like a perfectly appropriate reaction to a long awaited win. So that is fine. Hope you get a fat-persons-early-scan!

Wow possibly last day of pg kat. How about a birf plan that says: get the baby out in one piece and leave me more or less whole as well, please? And milk-no-sugar.

Happy to prod some kidneys, norf get your booty over here (that looks plain weird on an early morning). My next prodding is scheduled in 25-27 days... Cluster duffing is the rage (on my old fred, the 10+ers, we've had about 10 BFP this last month, and before about 1 a month, so clear it is spring).
