The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

[queenrollo]

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

I shall add myself:

Sinky, old. 370th cycle . Indeterminant wait for clinic.
Norfey, hag. 3rd cycle (in a decade).
Shred, 31, ttc%231 18 months. Bitter.
Cavey, 31; Cycle 24 or 6, depends when you start counting from; dodgy plumbing; fed up

I think the heat is making us all grumpy. That and the fact it leads to a rash of adorable little girls in floral dresses and sunhats, designed to wrench your heart.

Gin gin gin.

:( to rubbish anniversary week.

How massive, feefee?

Spilling out my bras massive norf. MSB is . Reckon droid will arrive today. Womble cramps indicate its lurking.
We need more gin!

Mine have turned as dull and non-menkulworthy as a buttock.

Still. Today is 14 days from the earliest point I could have ovulated (assuming I popped an hour after walking out of the scan). And I don't feel particularly droidular.

No news is good news norf. I am supplied with antidroidal weapons.
Did you hear about the job?

Queenie, 36. TTC 30 months. CD stopped counting...

Morning all. Have to take DS to dr this morning as the results are back from his UTI test. No idea what's going on, just that 'dr wants to see him again'...
Feel utterly shattered, not sleeping well due to anxiety about first trip abroad. Ridiculous I know, but for some reason I find travel stressful and it's an anxiety trigger.

(I'm on stoopid phone that won't cut and paste with the MN app - would someone please add me to das list? Cheers!)

Sorry for my lack of name-checking. I'm really trying to keep my online BESHness to a minimum 'cause it makes me feel that TOM and I aren't quite ready to TTC again right now and my egglettes are growing older each day that passes...grrrrrrrrrr. But I very faithfully read the fred every morning hoping to see a BFP. (If I can't join 'em, at least I can celebrate with 'em!)

To clarify, 18 cycles + the 7 months while we've stopped TTC. Yikes. . That makes 25 months of baby-making menkul. No wonder I'm a nutter.

Okay. I'm convinced I've done my maths wrong. 25 months sounds wrong. Regardless, however long it has been, it's been too fucking long to wait for my baybee!

general, always a pleasure
FF says I have put in data for 24 cycles since August 2010. Seeing as how we were TTC since the Christmas that means at least another 7 cycles. 31 cycles in 28 months?! The mind boggles. That's 1.1 cycles per month though which makes sense with a 27 day average. Still....

[eyes Faith and Norf suspiciously]

[sharpens kidney-prodding stick]

Faithy that's blinking annoying. I'd be furious.

Bugsy I hope you are ok.

Sinking this was the timetable:

blood tests and SA1 by GP April/May 2011
Referral to fertility clinic
First fertility clinic appointment August 2011
Dildocam, HSG and more bloods Aug/Sept 2011
SA2 Oct 2011
Second fertility clinic appointment Nov 11
Diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" and referral for IVF
Received paperwork for IVF clinic Dec 11
Dildocam at IVF clinic Jan 12
SA3 for IVF clinic Feb 12
Joint appointment at IVF clinic Feb 12
Could have started IVF March 12 but I had a wobble so probably starting June 12 instead.

Adding myself to the list....

Euro, ageing rapidly, ttc for far too flipping long. Menkuls at the thought of IVF.

Fellow Rulvakians, just swanning in with some plaice if slapping is necessary, I'll leave your kidneys to the expert cave. Why did you play the nasty stats game? It is all so bloody depressing...

Anyhow, we're officially on 23months TTC, and as faif helpfully calculated that 27-dayers mean 1.1 per month, that is 25/26 cycles. As mine are regularly 26 or even 25-ers (especially since iui-ing), it is probably closer to 26. And playing the waiting game for iui number 3. Oh and we're both 33... Were just 31 when we started :( Boobs climbing out my bra too, faif, SB has commented (and been told to keep off, as they are achy too) but then that is no more than normal for me.

Waves at the general, hope life is getting back on track for you. How is relationship patching going? Lovely of you to check in on us. We are totally due another win - dor's was ages ago.

X-post with euro, here is the list with me:

lemon, 33, ttc 23months, not happy with the lack of results from iui-ing so far and thinking about breaks and stuff, after this round finishes, soon

Enough leakage to confirm today as cd1 I think. Ah well, another one bites the dust.
Cd1, cycle#32 then. Bah.

Bah humbug, faif. Have some gin, surely it is gin o'clock. The Rulvakian army really needs to get its act together. Droidal invasions should not be. Simple fact.

On happier news - passed the assessment last week, onto final interview now :)

June the 9th is World Gin Day.

in my house every day is world gin day.

Yay to interview drizzle. Re the horrible stats game- don't let on, but , I've not really been trying 370 cycles. I refuse to count. It feels about 370 though. Just a healthy dose of besh realism when surrounded by the uber fertile.

Boo to cd1 faife.

Thanks for the info euro. Dec to march timeframe not bad. GHJ is papping it about having to do another SA. V amusing

In Sinky world, cd39. Nada. Irritatingly copious discharge. What's that all about? Menkulling to the max, but Bfn on Sunday. Need to keep reminding myself. Bah.

I am tempted to change my MN NN to ItsAlwaysGinOClockSomewhere.....
Boo to the weird cycle fuelling the menkul sinky. Mine is early this month. Or on time, depending on whether we go with FF, last month, or the 6 cycles before last month
Great stuff lemonyluffly! When is the next stage?
I have come home early, had lots of time owing and no clinic plus a combo of droid and other pain, figured I may as well!

Just posting briefly (from loos at new job) to share that there is a teeny but visible amount of pink fecking blood on paper. Bastard hope-raising but basically useless Clomid.

Sob.

Pink blood you day?

say not day. Stoopid fingers.

Snot over luffly. Not til you can't avoid using the tampons. That reminds me, I really must go to the shops and buy some. Down to the dregs at the bottom of handbag supply.
