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.

And it's turned a bit chilly now, sinkyroselee. It's hard to shag through thermal bloomers.

JethroTull · 29/08/2012 20:45

Bring on the drugs & needles I say. I've waited long enough. No doubt I'll have changed my mind in a few weeks if I feel as rubbish as Euro did. I guess I could do. Then again some ESH I know had IVF and said it was bearable. I'm clinging on to positive stories right now.

JethroTull · 29/08/2012 20:47

It is cold Norf. Have just come back from a friends without my coat. Brrrr. Eating fish & chips now - good healthy diet Grin

JethroTull · 29/08/2012 20:47

Nice name change Sink

Northey · 29/08/2012 20:59

I think euro had quite a brutal sort. I think there is a gentle sort of protocol which doesn't involve inducing menopause and mentalness and stuff

Do you know what you might be going for?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:01

RunLyraRun - IVF baybee. Didn't feel too crap.
CincoTart - ditto
ExtremeSitting -ditto but with OMGTWINZ!
BarbiesBeaver - IUI baybee

And these are only the ones I know. There will be even more Ancient BESH than that.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:02

Did Euro have the "normal" long protocol which most people have if their eggs are ok enough? Lyra had the short protocol which didn't involve menopausal nastiness.

I don't know really though.

We visited Glastonbury Tor last year. The Mister did suggest we did a bit of sechsing on the top of it but there was a) too many American tourists with cameras and b) it was raining.

Northey · 29/08/2012 21:09

I did the sechs on Dartmoor, but we much have been off the ley line or something, because all it resulted in was a loose button on my walking trousers.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:14

I feel dead boring. I have never shagged MrA alfresco doesn't mention ex

JethroTull · 29/08/2012 21:19

I'm not sure. I have to start by sniffing some drugs on CD21. Buserelin - until my down reg scan then I start on Menopur until egg recovery.

Sounds like a short protocol? I have low AMH so that might explain it.

Maybe someone will come along & explain more.

HaveALittleFaith · 29/08/2012 21:19

Closest we've got to al-fresco is the tent Wink maybe there's something in it though?!

Northey · 29/08/2012 21:22

You're not boring, rierie I expect it's MrA's fault.

Have you never been tempted to do it at sea? Though I suppose I would be too distracted by dolphins and things to do it properly.

What does down regging actually mean, jeth?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:26

Oh I've shagged in a tent!

Stop outing me Norf!

HaveALittleFaith · 29/08/2012 21:28

Oooh on a boat! Presumably hammocks are rather impractical though?

I know nuzzing about the IVF but will be here with special brownies and Indian Head Massages for those going through it and a willingness to learn.

Northey · 29/08/2012 21:32

Oh sorry :( I thought that was vague enough. Do you want me to ask for it to be deleted?

Can I have a special brownie now, faith? In anticipation?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:37

NO it's fine. I am a mad, paranoid cow :) Sorry.

No in answer to your question I've never shagged at sea. Always kind of otherwise occupied! Bet it would bring the dolphins flocking though, squeaking and clicking.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:37

Though i did on a cross channel ferry to Ireland once. We were on honeymoon!

Northey · 29/08/2012 21:39

Was it on a single bunk? That's pure love, that is.

ShredniVashtar · 29/08/2012 21:42

If it's any help I have no idea what you're on about, norf and rie

I have never gone all the way al fresco. Had some happy furkling though Smile I have also dipped my hand in a fertility well (not a euphemism).

Interested too to know more about the ivf, despite the fact that I will be too aged to have it NHS funded if it comes to it.

Day 28 here and no more spotting to speak of. Maybe was just a weird light period. Maybe the droid will turn up overnight. Am a bit tired thinking about it.

I fancy a name change. Think it was the thought of sounding witchy! May be back under a different guise...

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:48

I'm intrigued by your current name. Pliz to explain.

FizzyFeet · 29/08/2012 21:54

'tis I, under new name.

Shredni Vashtar is the name of a polecat-ferret in a story by Saki. It's worshipped as a god by a small, lonely boy and eventually wreaks terrible havoc. If you haven't read any Saki stories, I thoroughly recommend them. Like Jeeves and Wooster gone sinister. The "shred" spelling is a reference to the 30 day shred, which I still haven't done and never will.

I quite like FizzyFeet - does anyone else get a fizzy, tingly feeling in their feet when they're tired? So might stick with it for a bit. And you'll all just have to picture my feet instead now!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:58

Fizzy, I always had ShredniVashtar pegged as being some kind of Hindu warrior goddess wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting earth. Or a science fiction beyatch from hell. Or something

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/08/2012 21:58

As for the fizzing feeling, well I do get that on occasion. It's not when I'm tired though, if you get my drift

FizzyFeet · 29/08/2012 22:02

Wot, in your feet? That's just odd! My feet never feel like they're in the mood for pure lurve.

I like the vengeful goddess vibe. Will endeavour to keep channelling that.
