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.

cavey Sad sorry to hear that. I prescribe duvet, crap telly, chocolate and maybe gin later.

Had a great night with some old friends last night. Even managed to survive a surprise "I'm diffed" announcement, though not without the help of muchos vinos.

Northey · 29/04/2012 08:48

I'm sorry cavey, and a massive ARGGHH about stupid frustrating ovulation timings. What on earth is going on?

Commiserations about diffedness announcement, shreddies.At least there was wine.

Am currently holding in wee while I decide if I am going to nip out for a stick.

ShredniVashtar · 29/04/2012 08:58

Oooh, Northey don't hold it in! < bitter memories of cystitis> Pee in a jam jar and then go to the shops if you must. [stern] How many dpo are you now?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 29/04/2012 09:06

Hey folks.

Sorry cave. Stupid rubbish stick. Was it your progesterone tha was measured? That only goes up if you've laid, right? I don't really understand charts/temps etc (the main reason I can stay away from ff, so no tutorials required!). Fingers crossed something happen, whether that's a late win, or just a droidal appearance so you know where you are.

shred well done on surviving surprise announcement. I was avoiding work yesterday and was flicking through fb. 'Found' 3 more friend are diffed. Suppose I should be greatful they're not the plaster it all over the web types, but still, made for a pretty depressing Saturday night in.

Any decision on the wee action yet north?

Northey · 29/04/2012 09:12

Battled out to shops through freezing horizontal rain and discovered that of course they are all closed till 10 on Sunday. So I have come home and weeed. Ahhhhhh. I shall now try and wait till next weekend, I think (if I am diffed, I would like to discover it on a day AMNH doesn't have to go off to work).

Nul points and a stony state from the judges for hilarity's FB differs.

Northey · 29/04/2012 09:13

Weird pinky goo is still there, btw. For those who want to keep tabs on my pant snot/droid status.

CaveMum · 29/04/2012 09:43

Thanks all. I'm in my usual "can't stop crying" phase at the moment, which I know is stupid but I just feel so deflated again, even though I had convinced myself that I hadn't got my hopes up.

Feeling very close to throwing the towel in at the moment Sad

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 09:45

What a morning! Very sorry to hear the pee stick was stupid and ignorant and your chart has gone bizarre! I agree with shreddie's plan for your day. I think you should ring the clinic spooner rather than later cos who knows what's going on?!
norf that's uber patient waiting til next week to POAS! I know what you mean, I've always expected a bfp on a weekend.
Interesting re the minimal pink pant snot. Clearly a sit and wait scenario. Much like my own. Temp has gone back up to 36.6! I'm a tad confused. So I've decided to wait til after droid's expected date before I POAS again.
shred thank goodness you had the wine. It's never easy but wine certainly helps!

Is HWHNN with you or working today? It is so fucking hard having to do it the way you are (we were in that situation last year too), when you are alone all week for nenkulling and overthinking and obsessing and dreaming.

Northey · 29/04/2012 09:47
Northey · 29/04/2012 09:48

Ooooh, faith. Just...ooooh.

CaveMum · 29/04/2012 10:03

Yes, he's here, though I've been hiding from him by crying in the shower/bedroom while he's downstairs working on his laptop

It sounds stupid, but it feels worse somehow this time because it's my birthday in just under 2 weeks and I was clinging on to the hope that I might get pregnant while I'm 30. It was always "the plan" to have a baby before I was 30 and I was kidding myself that it still counted if I got pregnant before turning 31.

HWHNN is wonderful and very supportive. He knows I'm prone to bouts of, what we'll loosely call "depression", but sometimes his method of support and encouragement (telling me that I have to think positively and that we've got a lot going for us and we're still young) makes me feel bad about being upset, and it's just a downward spiralling, self-fulfilling prophecy from there.

Northey · 29/04/2012 10:10

Oh my poor love. What happens if you give into it for a really thorough howl? Is it easier to come back to normal afterwards, or does that leve you down in the depths?

CaveMum · 29/04/2012 10:15

I feel like have had several howls already this morning! I know it'll pass, in a few hours I'll be feeling semi-normal and by tomorrow be back to something resembling normal [attemps a feeble Smile]

sinkingflameofhilarity · 29/04/2012 10:18

Grin at notheys pant snot updates. It's like springwatch, but with less Kate humble and more goo.

In a change of topic, and please don't get offended by this (not sure it is offensive, but about to gently fred bash, and wouldn't take kindly to someone doing it to the BESH...). Anyone else find the threads for nov, dec, jan, Easter, summer baybees a touch depressing? As each month/season passes... Or is that mid cycle depression?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 29/04/2012 10:21

Xpost. Sympathies cave. I have bouts of "depression". Which is largely just me wallowing but feels dreadful at the time.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 10:21

cavey I was the same. Said since I was 18 I wanted my first baybee before I was 30. Cried when I realised that wouldn't happen. Then again when I realised not even when I was 30 (I'm 31 in August). It's not rat

Not rational or practical but you have your heart set on something it's tough when you see it's not going to happen :(

Northey · 29/04/2012 10:23

Ooh, after Rulvakia maybe we should have PantWatch.

I think I feel weirdly protective of those threads, actually. Obviously they are depressing, and I never click in them, but the early days of ttc optimism there is quite touching. Most long timers slope off from that sort of world after a while, put off by the stream of bfps.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 10:24

Apologies for double postings, I'm having trouble with fat fingers and iPhone!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 29/04/2012 10:46

Feb was my failing at pregnancy at 30 (31 in march). April was my failure to have a baby in 2012. May will be the 3year "official" mark.

Hence my current dislike of the monthly threads. Shall try and channel your much healthier outlook North

faife, I'm always on phone or iPad- my excuse for my dubious spelling etc - I'm normally quite careful!

Don't cry, sweetie. The pain bit I had was a bulky sort of pain, it was not in any way palpitating or fluttery. It came and went, but was mostly there, and when it was there it was continuous. Don't laugh, but it was the sort of pain that feels like it might go away if you do an enormous fart.

Two things to remember:

1)if it IS an ectopic pregnancy, it will be so early that it will be too small to rupture the tube, so you are quite safe to go on holiday.

  1. conception happens in the tube anyway, before the spermy/eggy thing moves along to the womb to implant. If you are feeling something weird, could it be related to that perfectly normal process?
HaveALittleFaithBaby · 29/04/2012 12:46

I know it's a prime time for menkulling. Not much comfort but those are the kind of pain symptoms that I started with with all my recent troubles kicked off. Any wee symptoms? Could it be UTI symptoms/kidney? I'd suggest you drink plenty today to try to flush your system.
Well we managed to get to church this morning but had to leave promptly afterwards because neither MSB or myself feels too chipper. He's gone for a lie down, I'm curled up on the sofa under a sleeping bag watching Big Bang, occasionally poking my giant buzzwams. Super tender. Fuel the menkul.
flamey had to know I'm not alone! I try to be careful but I keep pressing preview or post buttons too soon!
cavey how are you feeling now? Did HWHNN get you a supply of chocolate?
