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.

Yes, everything is fine (thank fuck)

Had another bit of bleeding this morning and I panicked on a grand scale. Begged for another scan appointment and saw a truly lovely doctor this time who not only took ages doing a scan** but actually bothered to explain to me the picture, what he could see etc. I felt very reassured by him which was lovely.

So, the good thing is baby is fine. Has grown 50% since last scan and is measuring right for dates. We saw a heartbeat, developing arms and legs and even saw it moving.

Amazing. Nobody told me early pregnancy what quite so fucking scary tho. I am so intensely grateful but occasionally it can be hard too.

**he offered me a choice of dildocam or extremal cam and I chose the dildo because he said it would be a much better picture! Oh how times have changed!

Glad to hear everything is ok, AmbassaDor.

I always request a dildocam. I prefer it

Well to be fair the Good Dr seemed a little surprised when I told him dildocam was a go-er. He said few people request it!

I am clearly just shameless in my lack of fear of looking pervy. In fact, it's just a reflection of how much I hate having a full bladder for the teams abdominal sort.

Trans abdominal. Having a team would definitely verge on the pervy.

Oh dor I worried muchly when I saw your FB status this morning. Am so glad to hear it is all ok and you have had a good scan. Early pregnancy can be such a real headfuck but what a relief when you get good news. Any explanation for the bleeding?

Anyway you must be past 8 weeks now so good growth between the two scans and a good heartbeat means that it's as close as it can be to a done deal now. I hope this baybee will stop being naughty and giving you scares now and let you enjoy the next 7 months a bit more peacefully.

Glad to hear all is ok dor! Must be v scary. Can you take it easy over the weekend?

Am enjoying all the horse action too. My horse experience is limited to happy hacking so not really in the same league!

Am celebrating here - yesterday I got promoted . Am in the dr waiting room now and hoping she gives me equally good news and a plan to work to. Think I'll feel better if I can actually do something rather than just waiting and seeing.

Can't post much, on the way home but phew! Will post more later.

NO explanation for bleeding. The Good Dr seemed to think it just happens sometimes.

Can kind of take it easy but I am working tomorrow as I have to go to a conference.

Oh dor, bless you, I'm so glad it's ok and you have seen baybee dot wriggling! Weird re the bleeding, let's hope that's the end of it!
I have survived my first week back at work. I've realised there's lots about my job I enjoy and since I manage my own time I need to do the stuff I enjoy! Quiet weekend ahead for me :)

Hola bugs. queenrollo is a returner, she was around a while ago. She has hopped over from the hut of gloom and doom in infertility because since a recent op she has been a bit more optimistic about baybee winning and needs some BESH humour! I'm sure you'll get acquainted. She's off away for the weekend hence me speaking for her.
Boo to the Mummy FB comments. Enjoy the sunshine, sechsing and all inclusive! We miss you !

Glad you're ok Dot - seems like your experience is echoing mine with bleeding at similar points (but thank goodness baby ok). Hopefully you will also find that from 12 weeks things should improve (are you on 10 now?) although as I said before the muscular twinges take a little getting used to.

Take care of yourself and keep us updated.

Hello to all luffley BESHs...

Will do. It's a gorgeous day here and I have to bloody well work. I am going to a conference on Hepatits. How exciting :(

Hmmm obviously I meant Hepatitis not Hepatits. It took me a few moments to realise I had even spelt it wrong!

Morning all!

Dor, sorry to hear you had a scare, but woo hoo for scan.

Enjoy the sun Bugs

I'm just getting ready to head to Newbury. It's a good 2 and a half hour drive from here and they're talking about up to 14,000 people turning up today to see Frankel run so there could be traffic issues!

If you have a spare half an hour this afternoon, tune in to Channel 4 at 3.30pm, the race is at 3.40pm. You won't be disappointed!

Have spent the morning sorting paperwork. Ugh. I never want to see another bit of crap from a bank again.

AMNH left at the crack of dawn to get to a whole weekend course. It's so nice knowing that I have definitely already ovulated and don't need to worry about missing sechs. All those months of doing it day after day after day were just exhausting.

Good day to BESHvalkians and the PESHwarians from my local pub an exotic location where we're watching a duck race. MSB has gone off to his Nan's ready for le football so I'm staying at my Sister's. Tis tres bonne. Missed the horse racing though in favour of ducks, sorry cavey. Might have a flutter on his next race!
norf I can't imagine how different things must seem for you :) you might even find yourself having SFF!
Hope the course was ok dor.

Back from Newbury. Wow, what a horse! He looked more like a bull in the pre-race parade and just annihilated his rivals. Fabulous, fantastic Frankel!

Little point in putting money on him Faithy, unless you're going to put a shed load down - his starting price today was 2/7 on, which means if you'd put £7 on you'd have got £9 back! Not much of a return!

Hello all. I have done my best to scare off any brave embryo that might have tried to inhabit my womb by setting off a series of minor explosions near it (spent the day shooting). Anything clinging on in there must be a hardy one.

I did consider whether it was wise but as we haven't seen any sign of an embryo on any of the last 18 cycles, I figured I would risk a 1/19 chance. It was good fun anyway.

I hope you had a great day Cavey.

Erm, enjoy the conference, Dor. Not really sure what to say to a day spent learning about hepatitis.

Clays? Or real squawky things? Was it fun?

Did your job mean you got properly close to him, cavey? He sounds awesome.

Targets, Norfy. Twas fun.

Very ttc appropriate as well, if you think of bullets as spermz and targets as eggs.
