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!

Morning lovely people:

Foot wooers? Loving this thread and the randomness therein!

CRISIS ADVERTED: Adorable little druid woke up me up this morning but biting holes into my lower and middle back and stabbing knives through my stomach. I killed him dead with lots and lots and lots of fabulous pain killers and came back to bed for an hour until little druid fucked off.

7 days late though! I said to my RR (henceforth name Romping Rabbit - just because has never complained ONCE about humping to get a baby or just to satisfy an annoying groin feeling. Unlike other peoples other halves who apparently bitch all the time!) that maybe it was a chemical pregnancy? Who fucking knows but at least it's not happened.

Shew

Love the name transformation from droid to druid, kicking. I can see yours as a very small but old man with beard and ancient (woo!) rituals as opposed to my usual attack of tidal waves of blood.

Isn't the weekend going to be fair, finally faif. IN which case camping would be lovely (providing you find a field that is not too soggy/water logged.

For my placebo woo, I think I am going to get a facial :)

A spelling error initially but that was actually what I had in mind. Doh!

I have joined a "Diabetics Support Group" (so naf) but they are heading to Brighton en mass on Sunday so we are going down with them.

We are also going to a wedding on Saturday. Hurrah!

I have a second interview today at 12.

And - thanks for all your intros. Most of you have had the most heartbreaking journeys and I feel a complete fraud being in here. I am just bitter and croney in general but you seem to have more reason to be sad than I do! And yet...you are all actually really nice, lovely people. So thanks for inviting me here. I can see it's going to be my saviour... :)

Oh good luck at the interview kag. I landed myself a new job in June, which is handy as my contract is ending (and not renewed) soon.

And faif I cannot read and got your camping dates completely wrong. No idea what the weather will be like in a week's time. It might be snowing. But the drenched fields will have had a chance to dry a little. I am actually quite excited by the thought of going for a decen cycle this weekend. It has been ages (only done one or so far since breaking bones :( ).

Oh and type 1 diabetes seems a good enough reason to feel sad, KAG. Even though I really hope once you get back on the TTC horse, you won't need to try long enough to get as familiar with dildo-cams, hormone injections and doctor's orders to sechs of not to sechs (before my lap&dye we had to use protection, that was WEIRD).

as familiar as most of us here...

I really cannot type today, that does not bode well for the tiny amount of work I have actually done today.

Dildocams are fun, peeps. Though obviously it would be preferable not to need them at all...

rierie, were they looking for anything in particular with yours, or was it a basic, "oh good yes you have some ovaries" sort of thing?

Oh yes, good luck at interview, and bad luck re druid, CountKagula.

Norf fun?!? Yes, the first time (when it was recurring thrush and it showed perfect insides and a ready to pop follie, well before TTC), and maybe the second and third. But really by now...

I don't like it when a) I have druidal visitors, b) I have an inexperienced nurse (cannot find your left ovary, where is it, endless stirring, until I said right, just push a little harder it is there, and hey presto), c) when I need to get to work (which incidentally is always nowadays...

Northey - druid is good luck for me at this point...

Oh good. I am glad I've joined the super duper laydees club then! Type 1 ism has it's moments.

Right off to get ready for interview.

Have a fabulous day!

I quite like having a nosy at my insides. I find it all quite fascinating. I quite liked the HSG too - I got to see my curly wurly tubes.

I had a bad start to the day - my trains were fvvked so I ended up having to come in on a very crowded bus, on which the driver kindly put the heating on....

Weather is supposed to start getting better soon my fillies. The Beeb website says sunny and 27 degrees for me next Tuesday [gets pasty legs out in anticipation]

I'm waiting on a call back from the Clinic as to how long this mysterious Waiting List is.

They were just having a look, Norf. For fun, like. I was anxiously asking whether I had an upside down, inside out, back to front womble, riddled with fibroids etc, and she gave me a bemused look and said "no it all looks very normal". So I have a normal uterus. One less thing.

I was asking so there's no cysts then? for mine. I was gearing up for left sided ovulation IIRC. Blimey that's a year ago! I was shown more on my HSG so I found it more interesting. The radiologist turned the screen round to show me :) I'm glad to hear its all normal/healthy riebie. Have Mr Rie's swimmers been looked at yet?

at prospect of better weather. I understand it's about some kind of front very technical! that didn't move hence the wet weather. It should move on and improve soon I think. Good, it's too muggy to think straight.

Sympathy for the boiling bus euro
cavey I hope it's not too long!!!

So the bloke at the interview said "You can start immediately, right?" and I said yes so he said "Good, so you could start on Monday" and I said "erm...." because I would REALLY like a couple days of holiday.

My first interview was on Tuesday and took 20mins and the second was today with 5 men and took 25mins.

That's how a job search should be, surely?!!! Fingers crossed.

euro Dammnit that sounds hot! I hate crowed buses and tubes. If I get this job, my overall travel time is reduced from 1hr35mins from my previous role to erm...60mins a day in total.

Yay to all who haven't got cysts and fibroids!! After my fibroids were removed in 2008 (1 @10cm and 1 @ 7cm), I had 3 monthly checkups with the dildocam. They found a couple cysts in early 2009 and I took the pill for 3 months, cysts disappeared and as at January 2012, they see no problems.

So muchos wine for that!!!!

Good news for everyone at least

Pardon - I lied. I traveled for about 2hrs and 30mins in my previous role.

35mins in total for this one.

ahem Hello, I am cakey, previous BESH, current PESH (short story: spent time on BESH about 18 months ago waiting for IVF, had a miracle diff, promptly MMCd, had breakdown and left MN). I've been lurking but not posting as I don't 'know' you current BESHies, and it seemed a bit insensitive to barge in all diffed.

But, now that some of the oldies veterans have briefly come out of the woodwork, I just wanted to send a few friendly shin-kicks in the direction of rierie and sunny (and any others too!). Hope things are as well as they can be, sorry you had to pop your dildocam cherry aries but glad things were 'normal'.

I also just realised the other day that Alps had a second baybee yes I am really slow Hurrah! :)

Well done kicking, that is fab. So when do you start? How much hols did you manage to wrangle? And YAY for the shortened commute!!

So cake how did you win your current diff then? Congratulations in either case!

ClinIV called back! I should have an appointment in early September and they'll look to start treatment ASAP after that.

Not too bad in the grand scheme of things, I had visions of early 2013 so I'll gladly take September!

Oh and project BMI baybee has been postponed til I have finished all the homemade cookies I just baked til the weekend.

Good news, cave! What is the treatment you're starting can I still blame post-op brain, or is it too late for that faif?

My NHS Authority call it Ovulation Induction.

I'll have to inject myself daily with FSH to grow my follicles and submit for regular dildo cam to monitor their growth. Once I have a follicle, or two, of decent size, I'll be given a trigger shot to make me ovulate within 48 hours and sent home to do the sechs, a lot.

The trigger shot they give contains HCG so I won't be able to take a pg test for several weeks otherwise it will give a false positive.

Not looking forward to the injections, but some people have told me that some NHS authorities give you the diabetic-pen type injections, rather than full on syringes.

The only potential spanner in the works is that because I am "skinny PCOS" I might overstimulate and produce too many follicles. If that happens they will sto the treatment and move me straight on for IVF.

Diabetes pens are easy peasy - and to make it COMPLETELY painless, inject at a slight angle instead of going straight in...

Brilliant news, cavemum! This is for injections isn't it, rather than full on ivf?

Lots of nekkid and fishy love to BESH Of Yore. How nice to see you all and get an update on the state of your innards. These things are important.
