I'm here too, a bit square eyed from watching too much Olympics coverage!

Things are ok here - went to see brand new nephew at the weekend, which was nowhere near as bad as I had thought. He is super cute! And the new parents are happy and chilled. And am having intensive treatment from the needles lady - twice this week. Tis costing me a fortune but I feel positive about it still.

faith good news about the appt.

Yes definitely positive. We've been kinder to each other too which is good. DSis suggested I post in relationships but I said I didn't want then telling me to leave the bastard! I've had another diffed announcement in last 24 hours. Christian couple who got married way after us so clearly not been trying for a win that long. I just did the hide approach. Actually though not officially TTC makes that better in my head somehow?!

very nice. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better without the injections.

I knew you'd be chuffed about the horsies Frankie!

Bit of you being at the proper park euro.

It's amazing isn't it? When you realise that you can both hurt each other but that you love each too much to quit? I think it makes our lives fragile and the moment you realise how gentle we should with each other, the more we learn to be kind.

My poor DH just crapped on me. I seem to be developing a food allergy. Twice now in the past week, I've had swollen lips and tongue and stuff. The first time ever in my entire life was last week out with mates and then tonight - except my throat started to swell and went tingly and numb.

I think my DH is terrified of something happening to me and he won't know how to deal with it. It already happened...

kick you need to seek medical attention. Today. If a problem is that bad after two reactions it could become quite severe the next time. Speak to your GP ASAP but if you react again go to A&E, please! Do you have antihistamines on hand all the time?

Morning BESHes!

I second faif, please go and see a doctor ASAP, kick.

How are you feeling today, faif? Glad the evening ended on a positive note! After your tales of woe, I made a point of paying some attention to SB, which was nice.

Pg announcements suck, particularly when they take away a relaxed and happy feeling, so sorry about that euro. We're have dinner at friends we know are trying on Friday and I am dreading the announcement already. BRRR.

lems I'm glad it had a positive impact on your relationship! I'm up and down to be honest. Research online has made me convinced it's related to his medication. Life has been pretty awful but we were never at breaking point before. My googling research indicates personality changes are quite common with this drug - some more excessive than MSB's because people can get addicted to gambling, sex! Certainly it has affected many marriages. I'm just hoping the consultant has words I'd wisdom when he goes.

How is everyone else?

Faif - I am so sorry about all of it. Being up and down is totally to be expected. Have a nice snuggle with my post-O enormous buzzwams, if you fancy. And be nice to yourself. Such a horrid side-effect of the medication! I'm a little pleased that MSB has not gotten the worst of it, addiction, gampling . But it is rubbish. Did you see any alternatives for these meds while you were googling? I am sorry that MSB wants to go to the consultant by himself, this is really hard on you too. Fingers crossed for magic words, tips or tricks from the consultant!!

I am a brave lemon, I rang up and got myself a counselling appointment in a few weeks! Pretty proud of myself. And otherwise I am actually okay, there were definite side-effects from the hormones here too, so finishing them has done me a world of good. As is the ongoing BMI-project, even if I am not getting smaller, I am getting fitter!

I have no "real life" pregnancy announcements to make me feel (at the world I hasten to add, not the women), but I've just come over extremely sad and teary to read that Fearne Cotton is pregnant. She's younger than me and has only been with her boyfriend a tear (irrational logic, I know), but still I'm alternating between and

It's not bloody fair!!!!

[shakes fist at sky and stamps feet]

"a year", not a "tear"

[fat fingers]

Well done lemon have a

Fears Corgon iPhone autocorrect which I have chosen not to correct! is incredibly irritating. Her diffedness will only serve to make her worse. Don't be of her Cavey. You're way lufflyer than her :)

[snogs faithy & wipes snotty nose]

Ta

Fears cotton. (have also chosen not to un-autocorrect) Agree irritating at best. I've not had any real life announcements recently. Which means I have a sinking feeling there'll be a rush on soon.

Have been having much womble stretchy feelings and weird snot. Allowed myself to think maybe... But bfn on test (I know, I know, it's evening, but I've been at work all day not drinking- if it was any more concentrated, it'd be solid)

Shall ring clinic tomorrow.

Well done with project BMI and the counselling driz. Everyone seems to be having a pretty shit time at the mo- don't hate me, but I'm going to lean over and give everyone a manly pat on the shoulder and a neat gin. (and a cheeky buzzwarm grope hike I'm at it)

Just had to comment that I'm SO glad other people are as irritated at Fearne's 'news' as I am. Grrrrr. I can't listen to her patronising whine for a minute!

It's an old BESH here but I've name changed!

I have always had an irrational hatred for Fearne sodding Cotton. She had the audacity to go public with her pregnancy on the same day as me. I'll be mighty pissed off if we're due at the same time....especially if we have the same flavour baby and inadvertently end up giving them the same name. I'll forever be that person who named their baby after a famous person's. overthinking it much?

I had my dating scan yesterday, and i'm just over 13 weeks...due on 10th of Feb. Baby was wriggly and waving. Was referred to a Consultant because of my low BMI old news i've always been like this and the Dr wasn't really bothered about it but has fixated on other stuff and started with the 'oh you need permission if you want a home birth'....like bloody eff do I need permission. They want me to have consultant led care, for no real reason and I have declined.

Evening ladies. I have had a nice afternoon out, shooting in the sunshine (now a bit pink!). Having a hobby I have to really focus on when I do it really does help.

I hadn't seen the Fearne Cotton announcement. But I've had two RL announcements in the last week so it fades into insignificance for me.

My ovaries have been really going for it the past few days. Both sides have been twinging strongly. I'm only on CD8 so I'm taking it as a sign that they are determined to lay an egg this month!

Glad you've had fun euro! Were you shooting?

queen hooray for wriggly baybee and officially being diffed :) Fear will probably call her baybee Tinkertrinkerflixibelle unless it's a girl so I reckon you'll be ok.

Well done on twingling ovaries, shooting practice and pink face, euro. THat all sounds good!!

I am impressed FSR you don't get angry at the women having the audacity to get diffed, I do . Although I am staying away from celeb pregnancy to worry about, I have plenty of RL ones to contend with. Although not for a little while... So that is about the pick up, I guess.

Well done on wriggling baybeee queen.

Hello jethro, did I know you before, or were you and Old BESH?

How are things in the faif household? Really hope slow but sure patching going on. My buzzwams are stil available for cushioning and are post-trigger HUGE. That ain't a sign, the hcg is def still in my system, but apparently they are comfortable (according to SB ).

Here I am tired, working lots and peggin away at project BMI=project mental exercise: 2x 1K swim, 1x 5K run, 2x iyengar yoga, 1x 15K cycle (Sat-now).

Yep, I was shooting faif. It was quite good fun, although the club cocked up the gun hire and 4 of us ended up sharing one, so I only got to shoot 10 rounds in 3.5hrs (we were planning on 25 each....)! If it had been raining I would have been grumpy. But as I got to stand around in the sunshine, it was fine. Better than sitting in the office anyway!

drizz that's LOADS of exercise. I have lost my exercise mojo a bit since IVF. I have been absolutely knackered. I think my iron levels must have dropped again. They were low for ages and I was on iron tabs for years because I couldn't maintain my iron levels. I weaned myself off them at the end of last year and seemed to be doing ok with an iron-rich diet. But I think the 14 day period from the IVF drugs has just wiped me out. With the mooncup I can see how much I lose and on the heaviest day that is easily 30mls in the mooncup plus whatever goes down the loo. That's quite a bit in one day. I've given in and am popping the iron tablets again now though, so hopefully I will feel up to some exercise soon.

Yes jethro reveal yourself!

Well the shooting sounds good euro even if there was a cock up! I imagine it's very cathartic?!

drizz that is a lot of exercise! I confess my motivation has gone out the window :( I could only seem to do it for my future baybee. Doing it for me just doesn't seem to work. Things are, better, if slightly strained. It's better but it's different. We're not pretending or kidding ourselves we're ok which makes it strange. But we are being more considerate with each other - he's helping a lot more round the house and I'm not nit picking with him. We agreed we're not trying to go back and we don't want to stay the same, we're trying to find a way to move forward. Certainly in terms of issues/disagreement we know if the balance was too far me getting my own way and him relenting before and currently we just never find a middle ground, we can't go back to the old way because it makes him unhappy so we need techniques to meet in the middle which we hope the Relate will provide.

In other news I've had a really emotional week at work and had to stay late twice with one case. It was very complicated and basically a no-win situation. All the social worker and I could do was say professionally she's not safe to be at home and take the blame for that decision so her daughter doesn't get it. Nit easy. Wish I could have a large drink! Ah well, juice will have to do!

Happy weekend BESHes!

The shooting is good. It gets me outside. You have to really focus on what you are doing, so it makes you forget your troubles (incl ttc woes). I have only two more club days to do as a probationer and then I can shoot by myself and apply for a firearms licence to buy my own kit.

Evening all. Hope you've been enjoying the sunshine! Good work in the exercise, lemon, and in the shooting, euro. Sounds like you can officially claim that as a BESH superpower!

bugs hope the work situation works out for you. Good news that the droid has turned up on time, at least - even though it's always disappointing to see the metal fvcker.

I has been glued to the 'lympicz or at the needles lady for the majority of this week. I don't know if it's the effect of the needles or what, but I think I'm building up to ov earlier this month than usual. And - hurrah - appear to be getting my libido back.

norf how are you doing? Do you have a date for a scan? Keeping everything crossed for you.

PS - have no idea who Imogen Thomas is, but your use of the word 'slagbag' made me chortle!

Was she not the one who had the affair with giggs? Or somebody. Either way, I'm pretty certain she's famous for sleeping with someone. So slagbag seems apt!
