Gather up your fertility spells and sign in for the lentil-weaving BESH woo hippy thread!

[FrankelSaysRelax]

Greetings sisters [puts flowers in hair]

Bring your very best woo & let's see if we can magick up a few baybees (insta-differs not allowed).

New recruits are required to locate the BESH spell aka the BESHtionnaire and submit for further scrutiny.

Afternoon Beshies. Sorry I wasn't around to start the fred. I've got a shedload of meetings at the moment so not enough time at my laptop.

To the question on the last fred, I didn't self fund my f*ed up IVF cycle - it was my NHS one. I think the answer to how much it costs is "it depends". If you self fund through an NHS clinic, I think we were quoted 3500. At ARGC it can easily end up as 10k+.

I'm at 10dpo and despite trying to tempt fact by eating unwashed fruit, raw meat and barely cooked shelfish, it feels like Droid will be on the way in just a couple of days. Probably just at the point when I need to be on top form. Meh.

And it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow. The first two years of my marriage have been blighted by my barrenness. But, KFZK popped out to visit me in forrin parts for the weekend and has left me something in a Tiffany bag for tomorrow.

And you haven't peeked yet? That's the kind of self control that gets you high-powered business trips to thrilling cities. Now, have you packed your business kaftan?

Good luck to the menkullers. I am not one of you this month. We haven't even Done It, pure love or otherwise.

Pls to explain this "pure love" thing?

pure lurve

Don't waste that vomit, donkey it's just the thing to fertilise my organic sprouts.

"Afterwards I noticed I had ecwm" = no dear, that's spunk.

Oh it's boootiful, it's like a Will Smith song = coz when push comes to shove, you was conceived in love.

You wicked women, it's clear she's SEN.

...whereas our baybee was conceived in er I reckon it's about the right time, are you up for it?!

And some ESH baybees were won in a petri dish!!

In honour of this Fred I am offering yin & yang tattoos at half price. Also nose piercing, dreadlock matting & ex army para boots. Plus I am making some hand picked nettle tea. Anyone want some?

And ours will most likely be conceived in a lab. Meh.

I haven't peeked Norf. I enjoy the delayed gratification. I've never had anything from Tiffany before. I hope it is not chavvy....

I'm pretty certain that my tubeFAIL from last year was won from a jam jar and a syringe.

I have just chortled for a good ten minutes at "No dear, that's spunk."

I do like the little mirrors on your briefcase, euro.

My baybees were conceived with duty shags. :( poor the baybees, the only looks exchanged betwixt my lover and I were conveying thoughts of "oh fgs, just come already". Do I win a flower?

You win a sunflower DD! Here

it doesn't matter how/when our baybees are conceived, as long as they are brought into lurking relationships

I am cooking and listening to Absolute Radio whilst checking MN on my phone. Cooking big batch of bolognese and cheese & potato pie (Mum's secret recipe) which can be easily reheated for when I'm too knackered to cook.

Heh@lurking relationships. You have been spending too much time on t'internet my hippy little friend.

And I changed that from the autocorrect luring relationships which had a different slant entirely!

One cheese pie, one bolognese and a chilli cooked :) domestic goddess! Just the packed lunches and I'm due to collapse in a heap again!

Yay. Pure love. Can I have that on my own in a hotel room, I wonder?

I am sure of that Euro

You'll be lurving the furnishings. Or order room service...you can lurve the person delivering it?

Morning all, spotting yesterday didn't amount to anything. I've tested this morning and, as expected, it was negative. Feeling a tad more crampy today so hoping droid will show sooner rather than later.

On a positive (ha!) note, apparently they like to start you on the OI treatment within the first 5 days of your cycle, so in theory I could start treatment almost straight away. We'll see what the nurse says on Thursday morning.

[sniffs over-ripe air & relights the joss sticks and incense burners]

frankel sorry about BFNs kiddo. Not over yet though. My BFP was a bit of a shy one...

norfy glad the recover is going well but for god's sake woman no more over doing it! Agree that all decisions to be sanctioned by BESH is a good idea.

Ooo... or should I say wooooo?

Just sneaking in to keep an eye on the goings on. Having been at a festival for a long weekend I smell like I have dreadlocks. Grim!

Lurvely dor! Did you have a mud bath while you were there?

Ooh, Oooh, our new mattress has arrived. It's so firm! It's just ace! Obviously I had to get straight on it, may have difficulty getting back up... :)

I also smell very authentically hippy, having been in bed all day. With the exception of a ten minute break to walk to Waitrose and buy wine for dinner :)

Back to hospital tomorrow for next blood test. Piss sticks are still showing positive - how long can it bloody take?

How frustrating Norf!

Speaking of frustrating, still nothing here, though the cramps are back and a bit stronger. My temperature took a nose dive this morning so perhaps FF got my ov day wrong? It's been right every time so far though!

While we're in the hippy theme, where has our resident Druid got to? Haven't seen Kick around for a little while.
