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.

Mumsnet dislikes my foreign typing. Racialist.

Oh God, I've no ideas for next Fred. Was there anything in waiting? Maybe MrsFrankel could do us a horsey Fred.

Oh heck, new fred responsibilities? [wibbles]

Norf the bleed was on CD37 and we did the sechs on Days 29, 34,35 and 36, not counting the sechs before my Day 28 blood test which was negative. I'll probably test on Monday as that will be 2 weeks since my last blood test. Feel like I might as well pee on a fiver as it'll just be a waste of money.
I really don't think the blood meant anything, probably my body trying to mess with my head again!

Hmmm.

Know the feeling about peeing on fivers cavey. Did one a couple of days ago as I'm toying with the idea of taking my left over provera, but can't quite face admitting cycles are up the spout again.

Your numbers sound gd if we think about a cd 30-32 ovulation, no? But equally, if me, would assume it's is only my body messing with the menkul.

Punches disorganised hormones in the ovary.

I reckon 72 days
Oooh maybe we should do like The BESH day at the races?
What did you fink when you prodded boobs then norf? Quite firm, yes? Looking pretty magnificent in nice fitting bra! :)
Boo to the letter and rearranging everything :( sinky. Never straightforward is it?!

Fine fillies at stud!

Nice tits, faith.

Last day in the office before blood test tomorrow and then off to see AMNH :)

Good luck with the bloods tomorrow, Norf

I'm feeling hopefully optimistic - the queasiness although not very fun helps me feel like things might be on track. But who knows, really. It's quite scary approaching the early scan. I'm just hoping it's late enough (approx. 7+3) that we'll get a solid idea of what's going on inside.

Are you starting to feel better Faife? You've really been on a real health roller-coaster lately.

At least you have a nice early time to go in and won't spend the whole day worrying.

Good luck with the bloods Norf, are these your Day 21s?

Well that's an encouraging thing Lors. Will be rooting for you and bean.

Yes. CD24s, because cycle is a bit long (though clearly massively improved from the days of 90+ day cycles),

Knock knock
Any room for a newbie?

Clearly TTC has made me mental in a way that people in RL would shun and point at. So I've turned to MN for some gusset checking company. All well and good except people keep chucking fecking baby dust at me. Am sure it's well intentioned but, well, no....

So can I come in? Look. I've even filled in my form.

BESHtionnaire/citizenship test:

1. Do you like gin?
   Yes. Would like to petition for it to become one of the four elements. Surely we could replace wind. Who really needs wind?

2. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?
   Would like to be both but alas am not quite exciting enough. HY (hairy Yorkshireman) is both older than me and as poor as I am (although much tighter).

3. Baybee-making - to put a baybee in your tumtum, which hole do you use:
   a) weewee
   b) poopoo
   c) foofoo
   d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

Definitely c).

4. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you: a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway. b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

a) have even been known to provide pee sticks....

5. Is R2D2: a) an adorable robot from Star Wars. b) the source of all evil.

b)

6. Number of pets?

Does my 2 year old count?

7. Inappropriate (read: weird) crush of shame?

Once had a very filthy dream about Martin Clunes. SO wrong. Also John Simm.

8. Lesbian crush?

Claudia Winkleman. Massive girl crush. Think it's the hair.

9. What are your views on camping?

Would rather spoon my own eyeballs out.

10. How much money have you spent on sticks you then urinate on? i) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it. ii) Over 100 quid iii) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks

Too much. Somewhere between b) and c). My problem is POAS far too early or late "just in case". 5am wees are starting to feel odd without a POAS.

Finally, tell us how you found the BESH and why you'd like to join us Pliz

Snooping around trying to find somewhere where baby dust (or even worse baby-dancing) isn't allowed.

So er can i come in please?

[surveys the foreigner]

Well I'm happy for you to join us Camel, extra points for filling out your BESHtionnaire without us needing to ask

hi Camel

New blood?

Excellent. Numbers are a touch depleted (in a good, diffed, way)

So camel is camel knee like camel toe but bigger and lower?, what's the story with you? I'm currently mainly moaning about the ivf unit being totally crap at sending anything approaching an appointment (and have pcos and iron coated ovaries. Think of them as the Thor of the ovary world).

New blood! Welcome camel, I liked your answers. Which reminds me, what happened to our other newby?
alwyn, are you out there?

YY to a horse racing theme for the next Fred in honour of Frankel.

norf I think you asked a couple of days ago about evening primrose oil. I've been taking it since cd6 , 2 x 1000mg capsules per day. I usually have very watery cervical fluid, and this has thickened it up a treat. I read somewhere on the interweb that it's not recommended for the second half of your cycle or when diffed. A great side benefit is that it's really good for your skin too

Ok so answers from the new blood:

Camelknees is a long standing thing courtesy of my darling mother. She's a sturdy no nonsense northern type and showed her profound love for us all as children by openly mocking lots of things. My nobbly knees be one of them. I like to think I've got slender pins (ie thin despite the lardy rest of me). My mother however has always called me out for the knees. The nobbly, scared to buggery knees. Knots on cotton was another of her favourites.

Quick lowdown - based in the north west, 34, boring corporate job (that according to many many MNetters today is now worse than pissing on people's kids for a living). Tying to get myself knocked up with number 2. Losing my fecking marbles in the process.

The hump does contain gin, many bags of minstrels, and also those weeny tubs of Pringles. Think of them not as humps but more as entertainment centres (a bit like those globes that were actually drinks cabinets back in the day).

Ps - ta muchly for letting me in!

Was actually a bit sweaty and concerned that would be denied entrance. Would be more than a tiny bit gutted to have to go back to the barbie world of baby dust.....

fresh meat?! How exciting! Pliz to tell us, how long have you been trying to win this baybee? I liked your answers too. Except the camping. I luff to camp with a. Camper van that has a bathroom and elkel-tircity

To introduce myself, I am faith, faif or phee. Trying to win a baybee since Christmas 2009, male ishoos that were finally found in December after a year of tests so we should be 'normal' by now. MSB (DH) has a date with a cup next month to check that out.

Right BESH, prepare to be amazed......I came home and thought 'Enough'! I sorted through five boxes in the hall so you can now walk through it rather than navigate round crap. I got two more letters for the previous occupant from this 'Equity house' despite numerous return to senders so I googled them and rang them and said HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE! FFS it's been 3 years. Prizes for the first person to guess what kind of company resides in Equity House - the kind of company who chase someone three years down the line despite multiple 'Return to sender'?!
Then MSB and I went through everythign we need to replace and we reckon we'll have enough money to buy a new car :) vroom vroom. Something topless and sexy!
I believe the stopping EPO after ovulation is discouraged because it can prevent implantation. But good for making more pant snot in the early days :)

Oh I'm 30 by the way. And we cross pistes!

Posts....come on faith, get it together,
