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!

How skinny do you have to be to be "skinny PCOS", btw? Just wondering if I could legitimately classify myself that way yet.

eurochick · 19/07/2012 16:21

cavey the trigger shot could give you a false positive for about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks. They use them for IVF too and I bought a load of cheapey sticks, with the intention of watching the line fade, so I knew if I ever got a positive, it was a true positive.

CaveMum · 19/07/2012 16:22

Don't know Norf, if it's any help I'm 5ft6 and about 9st10. BMI was 22 last time I checked.

Snap cavey. Also 5'6 and around the same weight here (it was 9st5 before the bloody steroids; I just scrape under 10st now).

Northey · 19/07/2012 17:24

Hmm, my BMI was 24 last time I checked. I suspect it has edged back up to 26ish by now. Must must join Project BMI Baybee.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 17:43

You have done well to stay around that bracket norf 'specially since you were between jobs for a while.

cavey I'm glad to hear its soon. Yes sub cut (into fat) injections should be done at a 45 degree angle.

I'm at the docs to get my increasingly gross armpits seen to!

I was going to say you can't blame the anaesthetic but since I only think it was lems who asked, then yes, blame the anaesthetic!

always nice to see an ESH!

cakeandcava · 19/07/2012 18:30

Lemon my current diff is another au naturel. We were unexplained for two years, then had last year's miracle diff the cycle before starting IVF. (I am that woman you always anecdotally hear about who fell just before starting treatment -then I mc'd which kind of ruins the feel-good factor of the anecdote.)
We hadn't really started going down the treatment route again this time, I wanted to take some time to deal with the mc (also, 'at least now you know you can get pregnant' Hmm) Was diffed again after 10 months, and this one seems to stick. As my GP said, 'some people just take a long time...' Sigh.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 20:19

Always interesting hear how previously down trodden BESH like ourselves PESH got their win! Congratulations cakey :) when will you lay?

Verdict re pus Confused is likely caused by over shaving to start, antibiotics to clear it up. 5 courses of antibiotics since March Hmm and they wonder why they've created antibiotic resistance!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/07/2012 21:11

Hello Cakey!

Mr A's swimmers are almost indecently numerous, Faif. 150 million or so per whatever. Unfortunately, quite a high percentage are swimming in circles, but if you look at it logically, a small percentage of 150 million going in the right direction is still quite a lot. Unless they keep bumping into all the crap ones? Confused

HaveALittleFaith · 19/07/2012 22:20

Rie from my naturally extensive research it seems to be that the grade A swimmers shoot straight on up towards the target while the duffers get left behind with a Confused look on their faces!

Northey · 20/07/2012 06:57

End of holiday and back to work today :( But I did manage an admirable 7 shags in 7 days, with probable ovulation day round about day 5.

Yuck re pus. You don't fancy a switch to waxing?

HaveALittleFaith · 20/07/2012 07:28

I hate waiting for it re grow for waxing norf. Plus it cost money! I'm just going to be gentler with the extra strong anti-perspirant and shave slightly less.

Today I have my 1:1 at work to say what I want out of the reconfiguration process. Trouble is I'm not sure!

KatAndKit · 20/07/2012 07:36

Must read fred in correct order. There was I reading it flipped thinking you were applying extra strong anti persipirant to your shaven and pus-ridden foof!

HaveALittleFaith · 20/07/2012 08:18

Ooh ouch kat! I'd rather not!

Nice to see you! How are you and your baybee doing? :)

KatAndKit · 20/07/2012 08:21

We are doing fine. He is a sleep refusing type and I am very tired but other than that all is grand. Can't believe he is 3 months old already!

Northey · 20/07/2012 08:41

He sounds a most splendid young chap, kat.

Morning.

Am sat at work, feeling knackered and nauseated, knowing I have 3 long days to work. Blurgh.

Not helping that people assume I'm pregnant. Not helped by the nurse who found out yesterday she's 11 weeks with twins.

Sigh. I'm hosting my own pity party. And faifes pussy pits aren't healing the sicky feeling Wink

Northey · 20/07/2012 10:27

No chance you are, is there, sinkster?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 20/07/2012 11:22

Don't you bloody start norf! not that it hadn't crossed my mind

I'm cd15. Full, battle of the Somme droid. It wasn't implantation, trust me!

I would love this to be a surprise diff, but am just overworked, over stressed and tired.

Grump grump grump etc.

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 15:00

How do you miss being pregnant with twins? Shock

Oh wait - did she know she was 11 weeks but found out yesterday it was twins?

I want twins. What did she do? My DH said he would "run away but then come home" if I had twins... [grins]

eurochick · 20/07/2012 15:26

Kick on the scan for one of my unmedicated IUI cycles, I laid two eggs. If I figure out how I managed that, I will let you know! (Mind you, I didn't end up with one baby let alone two, but managed to spend the whole 2ww alternately terrified/thrilled at the prospect of two!)

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 15:28

I have an embarrassing admission - had a sob fest this morning so am pondering on hitting whiskey now. Any objections?

I wouldn't mind having twins. 2-for-1.

Bonus :D

Are twins in your family then?

FriendofDorothy · 20/07/2012 15:29

I really wanted to have twins. Thought it would be fin. Maybe I was being delusional though!

KickTheGuru · 20/07/2012 15:30

I always thought the best thing about having twins is that your kid never grows up alone.
