Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

I'm snuggled in the hay. On a downer tonight :( just fed up with life. Reckon I need strong painkillers and a good nights sleep, followed by playing with DNephew tomorrow to perk me up.
Enjoy the woo cavey secretly curious to know if it works

Night night, bugsy. Night night smokey.

Hello fillies!

Sorry I've been so absent - was away with work and since being back busy busy with social stuff that I haven't had the chance to keep up properly. BUT I synced with you lot too, driodal invasion yesterday morning Angry.

So sorry about the all over the place feelings euro but well done for talking to MrE and feeling like you can say no and get some control back. I totally understand the hesitancy with IVF for unexplained. Petting and hopes for a good weekend with Fury.

So sorry faif about feeling low. That is not good. This doctor is prescribing a lovely day in the park with a small person. And then some resolution on the pain-issue. It is so wrong you've been suffering for this amount of time.

I was away already when you got your news, so a much belated nekkid dance for the heart beat bugsy. Hurrah. Twirling my tassles like mad!

How is the head feeling norf?

Big waves to the others. Things are good at the sour household, very happy with work stuff for a chance :) so that is good. And this month was a write off with SB being away anyway so not too bothered about the droid. But due to the planning (in)abilities of the hospital the lap-month will be a write off too (and we might have to make sure of that by using our nearly out of date condoms Hmm).

Northey · 30/06/2012 08:14

Was just coming to post a tentative menkul about my droid - one red splodge two nights ago, and nothing since. And then I thought I would have a wee before logging on. And now of course there is blood again. Idiot me.

My lap month was a write off too, lemmy. I think it's the law that everyone suffers equally.

HaveALittleFaith · 30/06/2012 09:09

Luffly to have you back sourpuss! Glad to hear things are good. I agree with norf when you have investigations you have to write off that cycke but in the hope that the way is paved post-op.

We were planning to finish the garden in the rented house today so of course it's hashing it down! Hmm probably no park either but I'm drinking tea and eating fake biscuits and watching Fishing adventurer. Seriously. What did I marry?!

norf your horsey name confuses me cos that's what I called my hamster post fire! Big fat ball of fluff that he is :) I've been making the effort to get him out more lately to get him a bit fitter!

CaveMum · 30/06/2012 10:47

[puts everyone's Droids in a wheelbarrow full of horse poo]

Well I listened to the cd and it was t too bad. I did giggle at a few points and actually cried (I'm a wuss) at one point when it tells you to "tell your future child how much you're looking forward to meeting them and how much you love them". If nothing else I did feel very relaxed and am feeling pretty chipper today, but that's more likely to be due to a) sunshine and b) HWHNN should be home very shortly.

I'm wondering (hoping?) that things might be happening in the ovary department. After the pant snot a few days ago, and sorry if this is TMI, I've had the raging horn for the last 2 days Blush. Still refuse to pee on anything, but I'm still temping and I haven't had a bump yet. Could the universe actually be being kind to me for a change?!

Confused losing the plot....

Yes perhaps the universe is finally being kind cavey. Got your nice undies on?

Northey · 30/06/2012 15:01

Or off ;)

I have had a massively productive morning. I have bought a cropped jacket, a slinky long cardigan and a pretty chiffon dress. And some jam from the village fete. I hate jam, but this had a pretty fabric top, so I was powerless to resist. Now eating Maltesers in from of the tennis, and trying not to menkul about on-again-off-again-brown-sludge-droid.

HaveALittleFaith · 30/06/2012 15:58

Arf Grin at the jam story. Does AMNH at least like jam?! Well done on the productive morning!

I have had a productive morning too. Bit more unpacking. Went to my Dad's and had a Cuppa and a chat. I'm finding it better to sepnd time on my own with him rather than with MSB. They wind each other up. I had to use his printer anyway Wink to sadly, print my notice for the gym. There's just no point in having it even on suspension. I might go back in the winter but ATM even when I get well I think I'll be jogging. I handed it in today so I don't have to pay after August The gym is in my local shopping centre and so I popped to Poundstretcher a luxury shop and bought some baskets to keep the bathroom stuff in (more unpacked) and some rug grippers (marvellous stuff). Just done a huge pile of ironing and wunderwebbed trousers which were too long or seam hanging down. Yup. Am pleased with myself :)

Now I'm watching The exotic Marigold hotel. Not laughed so much at a film in ages!

Northey · 30/06/2012 16:15

He does. So he will be eating this one!

I wonder how euro's getting on with the stopping chat.

HaveALittleFaith · 30/06/2012 21:07

Mmmm I luff jam :)

Hoping it's going/gone well for euro.

What are peeps up to? We're watching Iron Man again and just chilling out at home. It's very strange in some ways. I think it's the first Saturday night we've had in since we moved home. I am so happy to be home :)

alwyn · 30/06/2012 23:55

Evening BESH! Had a lovely time at the baby shower, even managed to feel baby bump when baby was doing somersaults! Was v strange!

Even though Droid is here, I'm feeling strangely optimistic about this cycle. I've got my CBFM sorted and on the go, and hopefully I'll be less stressed this month (though no guarantees!). Of course, I could be kidding myself ;-)

eurochick · 01/07/2012 10:26

Morning ladies BESH.

Heh@ the jam story. I did something similar recently.

Faif I can imagine you al cosied up in front of a DVD looking all content. How lovely to be back in your own home.

alwyn you did well not to menkul at the baby shower. I have a christening during what will be the IVF 2ww (if I go through with it) and I am not sure how I am going to cope with that.

Norfy that was terribly productive. Those Maltesers are well-earned.

I am still feeling crap. I really am working my way through the full list of Buserelin side effects. We were shooting again yesterday. I managed to get 4 shots on the trot in the bull. Not at all bad. Then I had a hot flush, had to fling my jacket off, and scattered the rest of the set around the board. Grrrrr. And then I got a pounding headache. These drugs really can fuck off to the far side of fuck, to coin a mumsnet phrase.

We are still struggling with the IVF decision. I don't want to do it and I am scared of regretting it if I say I stop (and will feel guilty for taking the chance away from KFZK). My ideal would be to have the decision taken out of my hands. For example, them telling me at the scan tomorrow that the downregging hasn't worked or something (although I think the usual cure for that is to take more of the drugs Shock). I am supposed to go and see a heavily pregnant friend this afternoon. It took her IVF to get diffed, so maybe it will help me get some pesrpective. Or maybe it will just make me cry.

I'm still bleeding a bit. Apparently extra-long droids are normal on the drugs. Meh. I want to run today but I feel so crap I am not sure I can manage it.

HaveALittleFaith · 01/07/2012 16:47

Afternoon BESHarinas! Are you all busy having fun hence the lack of postage?
I'm having a nice day. Come to see my Grandma who recently moved to a care home near my Uncle in Cambridgeshire. She wasn't managing at home - she's 81 and has sight and memory problems. She's doing really well here which is great :) we've been very worried about her! So there's a water festival - y'know, stalls and performers and the like. Massively weirded out to bump into my ex-bf! My first serious fella, we broke up 7 years ago (3rd July!). He's moved to the same area with his family. Had a really civilised chat. Feel very mature Grin and only a tiny bit Envy that he has a 2 year old and a 3 month old not jealous of his wife but simply that they got married 6 months before us and have two babies! but I'm having a good hair day and feel good in myself so that's always good! Small would though, innit?!

Northey · 01/07/2012 21:20

How was the afternoon with friend, euro? How are you feeling now? What time's the scan tomorrow?

alwyn · 01/07/2012 21:53

CBFM appears to be fucked. Arse.

Will probably have to resort back to internet cheapies this month. Not pleased.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 01/07/2012 22:53

Evening. Been away having fun in Wales this weekend. Got home to find my questionnaire from the clinic..

It asks, in it's entirety, my height, weight, units of alcohol and wants passport photos of the pair of us...

No questions about previous treatments. No medical info at all.

How exactly is this going to "streamline" my "referral process"?

Weight and height I can understand, bmi eligibility accepted. Units of alcohol, ok. But passport photo?! GHJ thinks its to weed out couples who look a bit inbred...

And now I have to get both of our nhs numbers from our GP and send it off ASAP because it was posted on Thursday, and apparently failure to reply within a week causes referral to be discarded...

Help.
