The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

[CaveMum]

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!

Oh bugs. I'm so sorry. Be kind to yourself. And don't donate the gin to us. You have more need of it right now.

Not sure if you'll be around today, bugsy. Am thinking of you this morning anyway, and hoping your night was ok. I remember the waking up the morning after was very bleak - not even opening my eyes before feeling that my heart was leaden :( Also, I desperately wanted to talk about it. Anyway, if that's how you're feeling, remember we're all here for you.

So sorry bugs. Have as much gin, time and support as you can get. :(

[gives all the gin to bugs]

So sorry :(

[Bugs]

faife, would you believe that rather than pregnancy announcements, I'm surrounded by woe. A RL friend and one who I've never met, but has offered me loads of email support have both just announced miscarriages.

So very sad.

Thought I'd give you all a woo update. CD has gone down rather well, I am defo feeling more relaxed and have noticed that being pregnant is not consuming every waking thought - progress! I keep falling asleep while listening so hopefully I'm still getting the full benefits!

Futility Fruend has now pin pointed ov for me on Sunday, we did the sechs on Saturday so that puts us in with a shot. Appointment with the fertility consultant is next Tuesday. Will wait and see what they suggest and hope for a Law of Sod diffage in the meantime.

Still thinking of you bugs

:( sinky, that's really sad.

That sounds good cavey, hurray for ovulating finally and potentially well timed sechsing. Universe did give you a break :)

Blimey we've gone well down the page on my active threads! Bump to get us back up.

I think bugsy's and euro's situations have brought us all down.

I am booking my sechs holiday today. We shall be together for 4 days prior to ovulation to 2 days afterwards. I am planning a veritable sechs gymkhana.

Agreed Norf, reality has hit home and it sucks.

I'm knackered, stayed up late finishing my stallion selection assignment, but it's done now. Need to start revising for the exam next month now To be fair, I should ace it as its on equine reproduction and as I've spent over 2 years trying to get diffed I know all about hormones that trigger ovulation, etc

A sechs gymkhana sounds awesome, norf! I shall be scheduling in something similar again this month. Droid arrived yesterday

This morning I have a day 2-5 blood test, and have booked in to see an acupuncture lady. Glad the CD is going well, cavey. I tried some positive visualisation this month don't tell anyone sending encouraging thoughts to my left tube, and thickening thoughts to my womble, as periods have been light since the mmc last year. One of them seems to have worked, as droid is now heavier than it was when I was a teenager!

Indeed it is a trying time for the BESH collective. Thoughts and luff going out to all, especially bugs and euro.

Sorry to hear about droid poley but good to know you're getting bloods/investigations done.

Good plan with the sechs gymkhana norf! Bet it's nice to have an idea of when you're laying an egg these days.

cavey you're definitely a reproductive expert! I realised I know lots about fertility but very little about growing a baybee. if I ever when I get diffed I will have to do some research!

I iz vairy tired today, so pleased its Friday! In the house of faith there is an ongoing battle although MSB doesn't realise yet I am not washing anyway that doesn't find it's way into the washing basket! As part of my cleaning regime I am washing every other day. Anything that he is too bloody lazy to pick up drops on the floor is being kicked into a pile by myself and left. He is about to run out of underwear I must not cave. He will not listen to requests. This is the only way. Help me stay strong!

Thinking of you bugs, we're here with gin and support when you need it.
Tis a difficult time for BESHes.

Sorry about the droidal invasion, but well done for getting some tests started, shred and YAY about sechsvacation norf sounds lovely. We're on protected sechsing that has been a LONG while. Until after the lap, by which time there will be no sechsing.

Cave that should be a doddle. Just check whether the names are identical (for instance HCG has the H for human in it, so maybe for horses it is ECG or something but otherwise, just wing it, on theoretical reproduction all of us could sit any exam).

Good luck with holding out strong faif. We have the same rule, with this caveat that I go back and pick up my own things, when I wash and don't pick up his. Sadly he's lived by himself for such a length of time that he is able to cope with monthly laundry... So it gets quite full with shirts, t shirts and often SOCKS on the dining table, before he eventually acts...

Lemon, you are right, it is ECG but all the other hormones are the same and do the same thing. Only thing I'm going to have to really revise is the scientificy names for cell structure and embryos n stuff. Female anatomy I am shit hot on, tis all the same but bigger!

Don't let me bring you down, BESH. I feel fab now I am off the evil drugs. I am never sticking those in me again. Fecking evil horrible drugs. About 36 hours off them I felt great. I had my first glass of champagne in quite a while last night. The rejection of all things ttc self-deprivation related is fantastic.

I am, however, on day 12 of my bleed. I am going to look like a blooming prune soon. I had my bleed as normal on the Buserelin, a couple of days later than my period would have been expected. I stopped the drugs on day 8 of that bleed, just as the bleeding seemed to be stopping. At the scan on Monday the nurse was quite surprised I was still bleeding because she said there was no liquid left in my womble and my lining was nice and thin so it should stop the next day. When I called up the next day and said I was stopping the drugs, the nurse told me that stopping abruptly would trigger a bleed. As there was no lining left, what I have had since then [tmi warning] is neverending nasty brown sludge. I am sick of it now. I want a bonk! It has been ages.

I am very jealous of the planned sechs gymkhana, Norfy.

You can do it Faif. Luckily KFZK is quite good about stuff like that. I put it down to years at boarding school and having to comply with the rules or have no clean clothes!

Cavey I don't see how you could fail to ace that exam!

Bugs, I just heard your news. I am so very, very sad and sorry.
xxx and for you.
And

Howdy peeps.

Am v amused and a touch disturbed by the sechs gymkhana. Do you get a rosette at the end? (hummm. Rosette nipple tassels. Shall create some for the next twirling)

Be strong faif. The risk of suffocating under a collapsed pile of dirty washing is the only language they understand.

So... In Sinky news, have been, er, blessed with a droidal visit. Which puts last cycle at 76 days. Obviously this is because am going away for weekend with GHJ for some smutty fun. Which is now somewhat curtailed. If I'd happened to put on a good pair of pants this morning, the metal fucker would have really hit jackpot.

Nipple rosettes and a fuck off massive cup (wot no-one has jizzed in). That's the prize at norfy's famous sechsgymkhana. All riders welcome. Must provide own mounts.

Oh ffs sinky. How blooming annoying.

Heh@ Norfy. A cup wot no-one has jizzed in you say? That is a prize indeed.

Sorry to hear it sinky. also sorry I lost the bet by 6 days!

Still resisting the washing. Have put my uniforms on (though I was them separately). We'll see what he does over the weekend.

euro I'm so glad you're feeling better :) have you got a nice weekend planned?

I'm working for most of it Faif (big deadline approaching and I've had lots of time off for appointments and been distracted by menkulling) but I have just booked last minute tix to go to see The Woman in Black at the theatre tomorrow night. :) So I have something to look forward to after a Satuday in the office.

And afterwards I intend to have the sechs until we are both unable to walk

What are the other BESH up to for the weekend?

Ooh that sounds luffly euro! the night out not the work nice to have something fun planned. Having said that, we have very little planned this weekend and I can't wait! It's been a mental few weeks, got a wedding next weekend. It'll be nice just to stay in! :)

The Woman in Black will be good fun Euro - just don't sit in the last row like I did...scared the bejesus out of me! I spent half the show turning around expecting to see someone standing right behind me.

Nipple rosettes=brilliant!

Shag on, laydees, shag on.
