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!

Good drunken love norf

AND that is outrageous faif. I am sorry. I hope you can get them to see sense. GRRR.

PS droid is there, it just means I'll still be on heamoraging when I go for the cd3 scan. Poor them

Grrrr at stupid letting agents, and at are-they-aren't- they droids. Incidentally the absurd spotting is something the needles are meant to be sorting out.

Yes, last visit was just taking a history . I'm not a wuss about physical pain but I did find talking about the last year, esp the ectopic, extremely difficult. Apparently asking what the fire procedure is is a sign that I am a water element and prone to over- planning / obsessive worrying. Hmmmm. Can't work out if it's all a bunch of woo and if she's just telling me what I want to hear. But am prepared to suspend my scepticism for a bit longer!

Yes it's been docked from what they return to the insurance company but I wouldn't be surprised if they dock it from our final settlement in turn.

shred I reckon I'd ask that too given the last few months! What does it mean?!

Sympathies for the droid lemons.

I am definitely not a water element, but I might google the types and self-diagnose I am a hater of planning and although I worry, I don't think it's obsessive.

Faith you have an excuse!

Droidal deluge has been spotted and it was not spotting this morning, at least as I understand it, because it was proper blood, not brown sludge... Anyhow. I am off to woo-diagnose myself!

Right, that is less easily done than said. I am not water, nor am I metal. But the others... Maybe I am a tree. But I think I am a bit firy and earth mothery too. Maybe I am just balanced

Um I don't know about all that stuff, it's too woo for me!

It is for me too, faif. Although striking the two I did out was easy - one is organised and the other cold. And I am neither. But the rest can easily fit many people.

Anyhow, I am going to veg (even more) now. And turn the laptop off.

Evening BESH. Here's an odd one for you all: CD 10 and today I've had brown spotting. Never had that mid-cycle before. It's about right for my body to throw in some randomness from time to time

Well I shall menkul for you, grottogirl. I reckon day 10 spotting is worf it.

I had a weird pinchy sensation in my womble today. It was after my third mocha frappe thing, so could easily have been a rebellion agains any more caffeinated milkshakes. But I am bearing it in mind. 7 dpo.

Definitely a bizarre one cave! Residual droid? I get spotting late on before the droid comes, never that early....

norf we will sit and watch with interest.

CD4 here, droid tailing off so need to proceed with the sechsing. Due to ov while camping could be interesting!!

I've never had any kind of mid cycle spotting before. Sorry for tmi, but it was old and brown mank, not fresh stuff. Maybe I'm going back to my teenage dasof bleeding every 2 weeks

We are embarrassingly considering starting rumpy pumpy from august

I am going to hooker around and get tge test done ASAP

NIght

My head hurts. Ow.

Painkillers and hydration norf!

Oh, I am sorry norf. I agree with our resident nurse as always. Water is the answer, painkillers to make sure you cope until it is all better.

Midcycle spotting is weird cavy. Like faif I only get it just before droid invasion. Do mention it if and when you see someone at a clinic again. Fingers crossed this is not fortnightly droidage returning.

Woohoo about joining the fun in August kick. What test needs to be done, again?

Project BMI baybee has resulted in a 6:30am run (to the bakers). So here is a freshly showered, breakfasted and smug lemon. I can confirm that the legs hurt after 5 lots of exercise in as many days. Start as you mean to go on...

Oh and I woke up at 6:15 panicking about all the stuff I need to finish in the next week and a half. So feel free to kick me, if you spot me here too much today. The other reason was SB's hogging the duvet, because I had gone to sleep under a sheet only, but between 3 and 5am I fancied some of the duvet too, and was denied

cave

How long after the druid (short hairy man) is it??

So go to the doctors today for the MMR shot because apparently my Rubella isn't showing up. Grrrr so they tell me I shouldn't TTC for 4 weeks, then go back and have the second shot and not TTC for another 4 weeks? Fuck that.

They kindly took blood (without appointment) to test my overall glucose and should have results on Monday / Tuesday. If my levels are normal (below 8.5%), I am going back on TTC horse.

Decided that the first MMR (medical journals) will protect up to 95% of MMR stuff. Will bag the second shot then if my hba1c levels are ok for us to TTC. Plus, in all the babies born from like 1971 - 1989 of women who had MMR shot, none were born with any problems. The issues are theoretical because it's a live vaccine.

I am not waiting another 2 months! The one and ONLY time I trusted what the nurses said without looking it up myself. Idiot! Anyway, at least it's all in line with getting my levels back. If my levels aren't normal, I won't TTC and I will potentially get the second shot (doubtful though!). And if they are, I won't get the second shot anyway...

How annoying kick. I decided when they made me get tested for rubella that I wouldn't be having the vaccine. I don't work with children or anything and can control how much I come into contact with them, so I decided that it was a risk that I was personally willing to take. However, I had antibodies (as well i should have given the awful, awful bout of German measles I got as a child).

Crisis avoided - even the NHS website says that there is actually no proof it will hurt a potential baby.

I am not having the second jab though. I will cross that bridge after a baby.

You're the first person I've heard of who had German Measles! It's not exactly something that worries me! But one of my husbands mates at work has just had mumps

Afternoon fillies!

Good on you getting the blood tests done kick. I am impressed. And ignore the TTC ban, I say. The NHS is great at evidence based argumentation when it suits them. But when it is only a "minor inconvenience" to the patient they like to err on the side of caution, which I suppose is defensible if annoying. Follow the evidence and make up your own mind, I say. But with you and euro on this fred, I think I am preaching to the converted

I have done an amazing amount of work today but now I am tired. Surely it is time to sit under a tree in the shade and enjoy a gentle breeze? Oh and I am definitely drenching the poor sonographer in clotty blood tomorrow. Poor, poor thing...

I love that there are people on MN who are prepared to say "follow the evidence and make your own mind up".

I am outside washing the windows (obviously not not as that would be an electronic hazard) but there is no breeze.

If you drink enough, I am sure you could make one though

Well done on your tons of work though!!! :)

I only say that here and in my other home (the 10+ers). I would be too scared of baby-dusters or unreasonable types elsewher .

No breeze?!? I could cope with shade and copious cold drinks. I think maybe my laptop battery can cope with hanging out on the balcony...

It is lovely out there though. I am loving the heat.

Also funny that I have figured out how to control the massive highs of insulin resistance in the heat and people on the diabetes forum (who have been diagnosed for years) are throwing their hands up in disgust.

I am like..."increase basal, increase bolus, eat, go for a walk" - nothing like a walk to bring the sugar back down. Come on people! 6 and a half weeks in FFS!!!!

Yeh I am not sure I would venture out and say something as daring as that.

You could get eaten...

"Baby-dusters"

Snort

Outside in the shade now. Much better than inside. But warm still. Not sure I can be arsed to do all the bits I hoped to achieve today. One at least foiled by technology.

I am scared of being lynched by baby-dusters, aren't you? It is bad enough to be a barren hag wihout being assaulted by dust. I already have conjunctivitis (thank you chlorinated swimming pool, when I forgot my goggles).

Yeh I am not a huggy, lover of all things soft and cuddly.

Baby-dusters are younger, surely? I always thought they sounded preppy - like early-twenties (and younger!)

I hope no one in their thirties says "baby dust"

WHY is there not a vomit icon????
