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 I've bobbed it, gimme a minute to make it public (I have no MN friends, dunno how to!)

If it any consolation I have come out in pus-filled under arm spots. I thought in growing hairs but they have now popped up around my bra line. WTA....?

I agree ectopic resetting the clock is unreasonable. It just is!

HaveALittleFaith · 16/07/2012 21:57

OK try it now!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 16/07/2012 22:14

Ectopic resetting the clock is truly shite shred. Also have no useful info re the needle lady/man.

Looking lurvely faife. You look like you were having a good time, even if you were deadly sober (the horror). The pus filled arm pits... Less lurvely.

After missing the slot when I'm allowed to ring to arrange another fanjocam, am poised to ring again tomorrow. Sigh. I don't want another fanjocam.

Dons black racing silks as protest at repeating damn tests

(racing reference shoe horned in ok ladies? Freds been a touch lacking. No mention of Frankle in at least 2 pages!)

Northey · 16/07/2012 22:19

Nice rack, fee ;)

ShredniVashtar · 16/07/2012 22:20

You look lovely, faith!

Rubbish having to rebook tests, sinky. Why can't the feckers just sort it out without having to poke and prod you again?

Fresh meat in the offing?

Northey · 16/07/2012 22:29

Kickassguru on another fred was attractively snippy with some "oh but just knew, as I climbed off his wilting penis" types. Hopefully she will come and be snippy here too.

Northey · 16/07/2012 22:31

Don't want to tar you with my own occasionally unhygienic brush, faif, but is there any chance you're, ahem, not washing your bra often enough? I A friend had something similar once Blush

HaveALittleFaith · 16/07/2012 22:39

Ah I wear clean bras daily (to match my knickers!) so I don't think it's that! Some look rashy, some maybe from over zealous shaving and excessive use of extra strong antiperspirant?

Thanks for the compliments Blush the rack looked magnificent due to being in the TWW Confused one button kept unpopping. I had to go to the supermarket after checking into the hotel to safety pin it in place. Did the trick though! It was a very happy day. That was from a group shot taken near the end of the night, we were all happy even if I was sober

eurochick · 16/07/2012 22:41

drizz I'm suffering a bit today and feeling rather anxious about everything. I have been thinking ahead, and if I manage to clear the abnormal cells myself, that's all well and good but if not, when I have my next smear in 6 months (scheduled for December), I will then need treatment (say January). Then before I could have any more fertility treatment, most clinics require a clear smear, so I would need another smear a few months after the treatment. And if that doesn't come back clear.... And so on.

How are you doing?

faif nice norks. Grin

Shred the clock resetting is shyte.

sinking the crap admin side of this really doesn't make this whole thing any easier, does it?

Grin @ "oh but just knew, as I climbed off his wilting penis" types

sinkingflameofhilarity · 17/07/2012 07:22

Mornin'

I'm a little in awe of faifes daily bra change and arching knickers.

Arf at "just knowing". Self selective memory at its best.

Euro, so what are you thinking? Is the option for treatment now still there? This is a horrible horrible decision for you to make.

Northey · 17/07/2012 07:34

She sounds well groomed (horse metaphor!) to me, innit, hilarity. But don't worry, I am your skanky greying bra'd and mismatched saggy panted twin.

euro, you poor soul, you (understandably) sound so down and fretful. There just couldn't be a worse time for all this to come up. Are you still trying on your own, even if official fertility treatment ends up having to pause a bit?

shred, ectopic re-set the ivf clock for me too, and essentially put me out of the running for an NHS-funded cycle. By the time it's 3 years since ectopic, I will be over the age limit. Utter bastards. Everyone knows that conception is NOT what counts as success, it's having an actual physical baby. Fuckers.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 17/07/2012 07:35

Excellent boobage faif. But seriously you do look lovely, and like it was good fun!! and I don't know you, phew Also incomplete awe with daily bra change. I kind of have three decent bras (one of which has matching knickers) and about 6 sporty ones, which are grey and grim. Waves at sinky's collection. And norf's friend of course Wink. I used to have allergic reactions to absolutely everything, including my own underarm sweat, faif as well a boil after a reaction to deodorant (I sound lovely, don't I?) So if it was me, I'd get myself checked out for a resurgence of these things...

Sorry about the mizness, euro. I guess it is only a fair reaction to the situation. You are seeing the consultant again this week, aren't you? blaming my post-op brain for not remembering details Totally understand if you want to give your body the best shot at cleaning it up yourself, and the procedure didn't sound fun. Keeping stuff crossed for magic blueberry induced achievements of the killer cells.

Indeed, where is Frankel? I am nearly ready to get back on the horse, we might have attempted SFF, which was no fun, as my dissolvable stitches have not dissolved. I might get the nurse at our GP to remove them for me...

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 17/07/2012 07:36

in (bloody space) complete awe, of course.

And cross-post wave at another of the skanky bra-triplets, norf

Northey · 17/07/2012 07:50

Morning, citronella. I really should try to be nicer with my underwear. I've made improvements on the bra front in the recent sales, but I'm bad at throwing away old torn saggy ones (what if there's a bra emergency and I run out?), but my knickers are ancient comfy 2-sizes-too-big M&S cotton lovelies.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 17/07/2012 08:02

Morning norfy. Sadly SB does not approve of my enormous collection of plain black M&S briefs. It is not fair, as they're so comfortable. And if you have enough, they don't fall apart as quickly...

But I did decide I was due another Nice Bra. But being gifted in the boob-department means it is expensive and a faff to find ones that fit nicely. I don't see any point in nice (read vaguely new) sports bra, as long as the boobs are contained and secured, the greyness does not matter.

FriendofDorothy · 17/07/2012 08:21

I have nice comfy M&S black knickers too but have also added a couple of pairs in a spectacular shade of beige to wear under lighter things. The Mister thinks they are hilarious and frightening at the same time.

HaveALittleFaith · 17/07/2012 08:26

The matching bra and knickers is always an ambition of mine. Was only when I had to run out and buy new stuff post-fire I managed to get 5 matching sets. Now I wash regularly as part of my cleaning regime I can nearly always match. I do have a few about 20 pairs of black cotton Tesco comfy knickers, particularly preferred when droid is in town. The daily bra change is essential due to my being a sweaty Betty (even with triple dry at night). I will ring GP in a bit for a non-urgent appointment one evening this week as I was rather sore/uncomfortable last night. Oh and they are generally from Tesco or Asda :)

euro it's easy to get distracted looking ahead but I think you need to keep bringing it back (reining it in? See what I did there?) until you've seen the doc this week and know what the POA is. Remember: Reality is kinder than the stories we tell ourselves about it

sinkingflameofhilarity · 17/07/2012 08:34

Hum. I have no excuses for my bra mingingness. I have lots of bras. Lots and lots. I have a filing system of sorts. And yet, I can't bear to "waste" a good bra on work, so out comes the usual suspects- beige, black and blue. Missing bows and saggy straps.

I'm such a catch..

I also have a fun bra collection courtasy of GHJ, but you guys don't need to hear about that Grin

queenrollo · 17/07/2012 09:11

faith what a beauty you are Smile

I'm small of nork and never really wore a bra on a regular basis. I have a 28 back so always have to have them adjusted. I eventually gave in and treated my self to a trip to Rigby and Peller and got measured and bought two very expensive bras which they sent off to their seamstress.
As I have sore boobs now I have to wear a bra daily but can't wear my nice ones because the underwire was hurting me. I've been and bought two plain Sloggi ones, which are a 30 back but will suffice as my ribcage will expand. I felt relief at the thought that this time round I can afford to buy nice nursing bras and have them altered to fit.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 17/07/2012 09:12

Yes dor, the beige tents. I have a few of them too, they're great for under light clothes but terrible for activities that don't involve clothes. SB does not see the humour of them, sadly. Well done on the Mister for that!

I have an appointment at the GP to remove the itchy stiches

I guess sinky is no longer my twin do tell all about the fun collection

Ah, that explains it faif, I recognise the aspirations, but getting it done is a different story Wink. Generally I agree with your statement about stories and real life, although recently, I think euro got a harsh deal from real life too.

FriendofDorothy · 17/07/2012 09:20

The Mister calls by beige nix my Old Lady pants. Nice.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 17/07/2012 09:30

eurochick · 17/07/2012 11:57

Thanks for all of your comments, ladies. lemons you are right that we did have an appointment this week, but I have put it back. At the appointment last week, the consultant said to come back in 3 weeks for the LLETZ because by then my cervix should look normal again after the downregging drugs (it was too tight for him to see everything when he did the colposcopy when I was still on the drugs). However, I made the appointment this week as my head was whirling around with questions and I felt that I needed to have them answered before the treatment appointment. However, I have since decided to push it back because, whilst I really don't want to have treatment, I would like him to be able to get a proper look at the area and potentially take a biopsy to check that it is low grade, and he is unlikely to be able to do that this week as my cycle hasn't come back yet so my cervix probably hasn't returned to normal either. His seccy has assured me that there will be time for questions before the treatment and he won't just "dive right in" Hmm. So my plan is to go to the appointment to cross examine him with a long list of questions with the aim of getting to the point where he will do another colposcopy and biopsy any dodgy areas he finds. There is a chance that he will somehow convince me to have the treatment there and then, or that I might see the lesion on the screen and react by thinking 'getitoffgettitoffgetitoff NOW' but I'm fairly sure that I am not going to consent to the LLETZ at this appointment. I was on the immune suppresants for 6 months and I am sure that they contributed to this. I would like to see what 6 months off them does. And under the normal NHS protocol, I wouldn't have seen anyone after one bad smear, just been called for a repeat 6 months later. So I am thinking I will have this appointment and possibly a biopsy and then go back to the NHS schedule.

The danger is the time scale that I was mentioning yesterday because of the need for a clear smear before IVF at most clinics. So I leave this for 6 months. If it doesn't go away, I have the treatment then. And then I have to leave it a few months to settle down, and then hope I get a clear smear. I could always lie, I suppose. From what I have read regression rates are actually higher during pregnancy. I guess they tell you not to get pg because if it does get worse during pregnancy, you have some tough decisions to make. If I'd known that when I first got the result, I wouldn't have freaked out and insisted on seeing someone asap, but they don't tell you that in the leaflet, it just says not to get pregnant until the problem is resolved.

In the middle of all this, I had almost forgotten that we are seeing Mr Gorgy tomorrow for further immunology tests. I am going to go ahead because I want to test for infections and stuff, but I don't think I would do any more immune-suppressing treatment, for obvious reasons. KFZK is in agreement with that (in fact I think he would insist on it)

I need to do some scanties shopping. My bridey pants (set I bought for my wedding) has just fallen apart. At least the marriage outlasted the wedding knicks. Smile

Urgh, bugs. But if it's a foof infection it's better to know about it before it gets hold. Congrats on the shag, though :)
