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.

Are you sure that is the right chart?

It looks like a link to my last chart!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 12:00

And it linked to my last chart!

eurochick · 20/04/2012 12:01

And for me it linked to my last chart!

For me it comes up blankety blank.

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 12:14

Oh bum! I'm linking from my phone so maybe that's the problem! I shall try again later from a pooter.

Yes, I do have the PCOS (newly christened "pretty crap ovaries" in this house!). Temping has always worked in the past for me, so not sure why this cycle has gone haywire!

Problem is I now gave no idea if I am at the start, middle or end of TWW!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 12:15

What's your username cavey? Is your sharing page set up right?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 12:25

Intriguing linkage cavy. I got nothing left futility fiend ages ago and was frustrated. Waves at norf for blankness.

The score here so far, is deux ickle eggs and outsourcing after weekend, nill points for progress on assignment or job application but douze points for a good cuddle with my nephew and loads of tasty food for tonight.

Sleepy now!!

Northey · 20/04/2012 12:28

Can you have a quick shag just in case?

It is pouring, and I want to make cakes. Sadly I am terrified I will be too fat for Clomid on Monday (I don't want them to have even the tiniest excuse) so am trying to restrain myself.

FriendofDorothy · 20/04/2012 12:35

Northey I have a BMI of 36 and they still gave me Clomid.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 12:39

I have ingredients for cake making too Norf. Just haven't done anything about it yet!
That is good news from the fanjocam then yes drizz? Is it no sechsing over the weekend before the outsourcing?
I am meh, we have tickets for Michael Macintyre tonight and I can't go cos I'm off sick - it'd look bad, yes? Boo. I really wanted to go :(

FriendofDorothy · 20/04/2012 12:49

It's not like you would be doing anything though! I would go!

Northey · 20/04/2012 12:50

Guidelines for my area are bmi 26. Before Christmas I ha got down to a bmi of under 25, but I have been eating so much recently... And I'm too scared to weigh myself in case it sends me into loopy weight loss behaviour :(

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 13:00

Tell me if this works

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 13:03

I'd go faith, but only if I was a) fairly confident I would not bump into anyone from work and b) if I was well enough, and to be honest, you don't sound that well yet... And yes, dildo-cam was okay news, or not much news. It means I am set up for a slightly "longer" cycle, than last time. Expecting a 27-day one, which is good and fairly normal. No sechsing after tonight, I reckon (we came to the conclusion that SB's contribution is best with regular clear-outs, so now we abstain for only 48hrs before...)

BMI rules are weird, and I can totally see the point of not weighing yourself (me stepping on the broken scales earlier this year, did send me in a bit of a tail spin) but I would do so if I was going to be weighed after the weekend, to be honest. Difficult. Sorry about the gain since Christmas. In many ways, I would say deal with it now. Cake making is my preferred answer to being miserable (just signed up for a workshop in June :) ) so I sympathise with that too!!

Waves at the diffed one!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 13:05

Cave it works and it is spectacularly uninformative. What a weird chart - sorry. I have not charted for about a year, but I can still recall that this is not the ideal cycle.

ShredniVashtar · 20/04/2012 13:19

Flipping heck cave that's an odd one! Assume you've checked that you thermometer isn't worn out broken?

Good news about the dildocam lemon . I have bad bad memories of the only time I've ever had one (cf beshtionnaire) but glad it was all ok.

Well we did der sechs and will do so again tonight, though cm has dried up again so I'll be using the age old fertility method of crossing my fingers!

eurochick · 20/04/2012 13:23

lemons are you medicated? Good luck!

Cavey that works but is bloomin' odd!

OP posts:
HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 13:32

Yes I agree, weird chart! A couple of dips that could have been pre-ovulation dips but not peak that could pinpoint your ovulation. Sorry cavey.
I am 100% certain I will be seen. Last time we went to see a comedian, well comedienne, it was Sarah Millican, I saw at least 6 people we knew! Exciting stuff doesn't happen often in our little city so people make the most of it! Also, almost everyone I know from work is going out for someone's leaving do and they won't be far from the theatre. I would be seen! I think I'm going to push MSB to go anyway. He needs a good night out!
I'm optimistic you'll be ok Norf, when did you last weigh yourself? I dread to think what I weigh now with the lack of exercise and excess chocolate. Trying not to think about it and know it'll come off when I'm well enough to exercise again!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 13:35

Still unmedicated (except for the trigger) and two reasonable follies in the right ovary. Neither big enough yet and one with a 1-2mm advantage. The lady could not tell whether both of them would be ready or just the bigger one. I scared the hell out of SB with a quick mention of twins :)

I just found my logging in stuff for FF and my charts were odd too (not much temp differences, but crosshairs at roughly the right time. No point now, as a) I don't temp, b) the big O-date is known (you get an override option when you enter a trigger shot) and c) it scares me more than the fun and games at the clinic (which does not bother me, apart from the will they won't they about eggs and follies etc).

Getting a new thermometer would also be my first port of call with your chart, cavey. And where is you Beshtionaire shred, I must go and look back.

Btw when is spring coming back? Sick and tired and cold and rain now!!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 13:45

Oh no about your not-quite-fanjo-cam experience shred! Yes, I did go back and found it, because I was to curious. When they do it right, it is MUCH better, I assure you.

Oh and progress: douze points for laundry done and dinner-with-friends over the weekend; minus zirteen for efforts on assignment and job application. Giving up on the latter (no clear deadline= fatal) and focussing on the former. So will be back SOON :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 13:46

Yup these April showers are getting annoying!
Good luck with the old wait Shredni! I think I'm there now too, though my temp went up a bit this morning which confused me a bit!
Might be worth replacing your thermometer batteries Cavey?

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 14:01

Thanks all for confirming that my chart does indeed look nuts! I don't think my thermometer is broke, I bought it when I started the Clomid so it's only 5 months old!
Hmm, I shall wait it out for a week or so and then think about POASing if no droid. Thankfully I have no pee sticks in the house to tempt me Grin

[revises original "nul points" score for ovaries and upgrades to a cautionary 5]

Northey · 20/04/2012 14:34

Shameless mememememe moment and plea for comfort. I just had a mock driving test and FAILED. Woe!

Going on jeans tightness, I should still be within half a stone of my pre-Christmas weight, which would bring me in at just under bmi 26. Fingers crossed.

Northey · 20/04/2012 14:40

Weird chart, cave. It looks like some of my old ones, with that massive pronounced dip, then nothing. I think someone told me that it might indicate a progesterone deficiency in that cycle. But I might not be remembering right.

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 15:34

Boo to failed test Norf. I'm sure you'll ace the real thing.
