Asseyez-vous mes amies and ready yourselves for the BESH Eurovision contest ever. Get ready with your Central European fashion, transvestites and inability to sing anything in tune. Get ready to rip your skirts off and leave your other halves no option but to make their mind up (do you see what I did there?) to get down to some swi and do your best not to think of Terry Wogan at any point in the proceedings. Finally, get ready to yell ?nul points? at the evil Droid should it dare to make an appearance.

Newbies, approach in high euro-camp mode, find and complete the BESHtionnaire to let us judge whether you are cynical and menkul enough to join us.

Hmm, well that was a rather mixed meeting then. At least you have the Clomid, hurrah! It's sh1t news about the IVF though. Meh.

How are you going to manage the scanning/sechsing?

I suppose it isn't really all that bad. I'm just a bit Hmm about the introduction of private payment (no probs with going private, but if I were going private I could have done it ages ago and not had all this waiting), pissed off about the ivf thing, as I had thought I was within their guidelines so was really taken aback to discover I'm not, and anxious because she basically has no plan beyond Clomid and more Clomid. So if this doesn't work am I basically beyond help?

Northey · 23/04/2012 19:52

Don't know, euro. Need to talk to AMNH, really. Though realistically it is going to be me who works out how it might work and make it happen :(

CaveMum · 23/04/2012 20:05

Hurrah for Clomid, but boo for the crappy logistics and IVF issues. I know it is easier said than done, but try not to think about the "after Clomid" part just yet. You've got 6 cycles of Clomid ahead of you, so you must focus on that.

In Caveworld, I'm feeling crampy. Suspect droid is on its way Sad

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/04/2012 20:31

Well, not the easiest stuff to hear norf understatement but I am pleased you have the clomid. I'm definitely Hmm about 'infertility from last conception', that's just Bollocks. And all the other crap. Hmph. I'll set the Dragon on her if you like. But yes, you have the clomid, which I do believe will make a positive difference to your cycles and you likelihood to get diffed
cavey it ain't over til the metal head arrives

FriendofDorothy · 23/04/2012 21:23

I am just fingers crossed for Clomid for you then!

Northey · 23/04/2012 22:15

Thanks. Am calming down now. Think I was mostly knackered and pissed off at waiting. And the fact that noone even apologised or even acknowledged that it had happened.

Northey · 24/04/2012 07:02

Hei from the Finnish judges!

Off to get prescription made up this morning, and to have a proper chat with pharmacist, as I've realised I've come away without a clue how many tablets to take or when to take them or whether to carry on taking metformin at the same time!

How are my fellow judges?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/04/2012 07:24

Halló and good morning from the Icelandic judges! :)
Northey so many bombs were dropped on you yesterday, it's no wonder you didn't find out about the clomid. Yes ask to go into the little consulting room and have a proper chat! What did AMNH say about all this?
I'm a combo of emotions, still feeling ouchy and so a bit grumpy , excited cos my iPhone is coming today :) and tentatively pleased with my chart which still looks good!

Northey · 24/04/2012 07:38

Shock I'm not a chart expert, feefee, but I think I might be POASing with that.

AMNH was sweet and soothing but ultimately a bit useless (as predicted) about engaging with the practical side of things. Hey ho.

CaveMum · 24/04/2012 07:40

Hola from Madrid [wishes she was somewhere warm]

What a wonderful show you have put on tonight, and Helga I luff your dress! [flirts shamelessly with the hosts]

Norf, glad you are feeling a bit better. Definitely talk to the pharmacist about what's what, better to be safe than sorry.

Faithy that chart does look promising. What's your usual luteal phase? [prepares kidney prodding stick]

FriendofDorothy · 24/04/2012 07:41

That does look like a positive chart faithy... fingers crossed!

CaveMum · 24/04/2012 07:42

Cross-posts. Boo to useless menfolk Norf

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/04/2012 08:01

And morning from the republic of Rulvakia. (you know, there's always one country you've not hear of, but don't like to ask..)

Hope they're helpful north. Did they tell you how much clomid to take? Each tablets 50. I started at 50, went to 100 and think max is 150. (actually, pre drilling I was started at 100 because my hormones were "totally wrong"...)

Not sure about the metformin though. I've heard of people on both, so presumably won't cause hidious side effects!

Cant see your chart on my phone phe, but I'll give you a hefty prod in the kidneys anyway.

And anyone notice the lack of dragons today.

The Fred just seems a little bit less scaley. Sad

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/04/2012 08:02
Dragon

Worth a punt

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/04/2012 08:02

Halloo (apparently Estonian, thank you Dr Google who knows everything)!

Nil points to your wait and then rather mixed appointment norf. But many points for the clomid prescription getting - let's hope you do a dor. (Sneaky waves at the diffed one). Do talk to people about amount to take and hiss boo to complexity of locations of le sechsing et les scans...

My outsourcing will be awarded with 8.5 points for efficiency (in and out in 15 minutes) but about -4 for unpleasantness (crampy womble and bleeding bits :( ). Oh and SB got 5.2 (mill) points, which was less than a third from last month's score. So all in all not a great day. I hid under a duvet with a painful tummy for the rest of the day and then met a friend for lots of vino... Let's hope the iui gets douze for results... All will be clear in 2 weeks.

Dragon at droid's threatening cave. And well done at a pretty graph fee. I'd hold out til 14dpo for peeing, but I am rather restrained on that front. But I would go back to the docs. Even if they only give you pain relief, you need some. And you cannot go back to work as is, so you may need to be signed off for longer.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/04/2012 08:02

What happened to the dragon smiley?!?! Angry and :(

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/04/2012 08:04

I noted it too, sinking but am nowhere near awake enough for bad puns...

Northey · 24/04/2012 08:11

How long do I take it for, hils? Do I just start on CD2 and keep going forever?

Hurrah for outsourcing being over, anyway, lemons. And a massive stony glare at its ouchiness. Wine is a very good after treatment. Well done. How are you feeling this morning?

I didn't spot a pun

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/04/2012 08:15

Well I'm only 9 or maybe 10 dpo cos it's changed it's mind a couple of times! So it's a tad early to be poas. just too early to poas for a fufc on Friday but hey Ho. I'll just be quietly optimistic.cavey my average luteal phase is about 15. I've been averaging a 26 day cycle lately so ov on cd11 would put me about right! Buzzwams are getting a bit tender too.
Now flamey, are you sure Rulvakia is in Europe?! Hmm that's what I always think when they announce certain countries
I'm rather missing the dragons :(
norf was the chat with AMNH over the phone? If so, he might be slightly better in person?
dor how are you feeling? Muchos tired from.your updates on t'other place?!

CaveMum · 24/04/2012 08:23

Norf, I take 5 tablets of Clomid - 1 a day on CD2-6.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/04/2012 08:25

About 10 billion x-posts but I believe the Dragon was only for St George's day :(
lemmy sorry it wasn't such a good day yesterday but still hoping it's a success - ironic bfp?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/04/2012 08:27

Oh Rulvakia (checks spelling from last time), it's just next to that Estonia, around the black sea.. That sort of area...

norf, 5 days. I'm day 2 to 7. Currently on 3rd dose/day 4.

Well done on the third party intervention drizzel. And, while lacking dragons, I'll roar at the griping badness.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/04/2012 08:31

Ooh more xposts. And proof that despite being at work I'm not awake. Day 2-6. That's the one.

faife, I know it was for st George's day, but they ALWAYS spoil our fun like this. Tempt us with a flashy new emoticon, then take it away.

It's. Just. Too. Much.

FriendofDorothy · 24/04/2012 08:35

I am fine. Just could sleep for Guernsey on a professional competitive and still feel like my nips are trapped in a vice. Did have to do another test this morning just to make sure as I didn't feel very pregnant this morning. Blush

Have to see the nurse at the GP on Thursday and then she should refer me to the specialist group who will take over my ante-natal care.
