Its true, NGCECOAWT, so the BESH move on.

Join us in spooky October, for a different sort of Pagen fun. Sod the lentil weaving and organic bean bags, we're channelling pointy black hats, green tinged foundation and probably a bit of Harry Potter.

Join us for cursing of the insta-diffs, moments of pure love and the horrors of the cam of the fanjo - post the Beshtionnaire and the coven will judge you.

faith I think a few of us here might like MATV (name) but yes he is rather lovely although currently in the dog house for being so drunk last night he forgot where the loo was. He didn't pee anywhere which is good but he did wake me up one to many times trying to find it and then fell asleep on it for the best part of an hour.

Ok, shameful crush, if I can't have max or maybe benedict cumberbatch or could I have James gandolphini (think it started back in the day of the sopranos?) oh and Craig Charles but rather his character in red dwarf-lister?

Witch I am an unexplained by the look of it :/ everything else is all good.

Anyone else here hate FB? Just logged on to be greeted with yet a another 'so and so are please you announce that we are expecting'. I was tempted to put 'expecting what exactly. I feel like having a mamouth tantrum and screaming WHY THEM and NOT ME!!! I'm also feeling a very bad person as I'm really not able to be happy for them just right now, even though she is lovely, a really nice person and they are I'm sure going to be perfect parents. But so would me and MATV

Boo for shit shower winkly. Baby showers seem to be getting very popular? When did us Brits get so American I wonder?

evilgiraffe · 06/10/2012 18:50

Oh yeah, rasp, facebook can fuck right off. My cousin comments on almost everything I post with some sort of child-related thing. I said I was getting up early this morning to watch the F1 qualifying, she comments about being up at that time due to her children. It makes me unreasonably screamy. I take a malicious sort of comfort in knowing that her kids take after her husband's rather unfortunate looks, and then hate myself for being such a horrible person.

Pure love thing sounds ridiculous. I'm glad I missed it!

Today there has been spotting. Today is day 22 and I'm usually 30 days, and theoretically 5 DPO today. I am trying not to get my hopes up for an implantation bleed, as this also happened last month and the droid appeared bang on time and stayed for a fortnight...

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 19:36

Well, in that case draff, may I be the first to hit you repeatedly with a trout?

No need to thank me.

rasp, I approve of Dave Lister as your inappropriate. V current. Quite enjoyed the first episode of Red Dwarf X. Against my better judgement after Back to Earth.

alwyn · 06/10/2012 19:44

Alright BESH?

Sorry posting is still sporadic - job does not leave much time for posting stuff on MN at the moment.

Nice to see the new blood posting and keeping the thread entertained! I'm still looking for a new job, one which would hopefully leave more time for evening activities (no, not that type, you dirty betches!) and catching up with people!! Have two options at the minute, with a nice agency. One is an in-house corporate tax person at an insurance company and one is a group accountant at a law firm - need to revamp my CV before I get put forward for the latter though!

I am also getting fed up of those stupid BabyGaga FB updates which show me how far gone people are. Coupled with one silly moo talking about how her friends are avoiding her since she became diffed. It's no wonder - it's ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT!!!

Went to see Looper at the flicks last night, was very good! But now want to see Sinister and CGH (computer geek husband) is chicken!

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 19:57

Yes FB is the work of the devil. Cruella De'vil. Especially when trying to win a baybee! I left for a couple of months last year, just couldn't take it any more. Those tickers are pure evil. You know you can hide the updates from those? My colleague actually said oh you can have one of those after your 12 week scan. I said: no. No No. NO! :)

Ps I luff red dwarf too.

WinklyFriedChicken · 06/10/2012 20:27

rasp I do hate fb but people text and phone & arrange in person meetings to tell me they're diffed so I just hate everything :)

Smoked salmon slaps for draf

Home now watching homeland and thinking marilynne glenville had best win me a baybee if she's making me stay sober for 3 months!

evilgiraffe · 06/10/2012 20:31

Ahem. Thanks, guys. That's better. :)

eurochick · 06/10/2012 21:03

Sinister looks TERRIFYING. I want to see Looper though. And the new Bond.

Now BESHes. I have an entire grey mullet in my kitchen for anyone requiring fishslaps. You need to get in quick though, as it is about to be dinner.

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 21:09

I don't do scary. I watched The Shining on my own at 18 and had to sleep wth my Mum. Cured me of scary films for life. Fortunately MSB isn't that fussed. We will be seeing the new Bond though.

Is it bad that when I read grey mullet I was thinking Peter Stringfellow?!

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 21:28

What what what? New Bond is out? Thought that was next week?

Don't do scary films since watching It when I was about 10. Error. Still scared of clowns

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 21:29

Tis released 22nd sinkers

alwyn · 06/10/2012 21:46

Strangely enough, Ghoulies made me scared of clowns but It did nothing for me. Must be because I associate Tim Curry with corsets and suspenders Grin

Yes, I agree Sinister looks terrifying (but I luffs scaring myself shitless) and one of my friends is going with me next weekend! And both I and CGH want to see new Bond. Hopefully it will be better than Quantum of Snorefest (where I fell asleep!)

alwyn · 06/10/2012 21:54

Or it may have been Clownhouse. Either way, instant coulrophobia.

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 22:07

Oh... Want to see. Future tense. Must read more carefully.

eurochick · 06/10/2012 22:51

When I was in the States, I kept dozing off with the telly on and waking up to trailers of Sinister.

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 23:07

When I inadvertantly see scary trailers on tv I look them up on Wikipedia to read the plot. It's the only way I don't get the total hebey jebies.

raspberrytipple · 07/10/2012 08:11

Morning gouls,
God I slept well so consequently now can't wake up.

I have a question for any of you who have been moved on for IVF. As I said I have my next consultant appointment in 8 days. He if I wasn't pregnant by the I could either maybe try clomid or be referred for IVF. I know I should just be patient and wait until I see him to find out but I'd like to know NOW! Grin

Any idea how this might go or even what sort of questions I should ask or ill just get in there and go blank. MATV is coming to so I have him as a back up, he's very good at asking stuff.

Ps I can't do scary films, I haven't watched one since I was 18 (the shining). I can't even do tension build up and watch most of Prometheus from behind a cushion! I also can't do gore. I like a good romcom me

ThisWitchSinks · 07/10/2012 08:38

Morning.

Have just sent ghj off to work with a bacon sandwich, and am now trying to psych myself up to try the herbs.

Tbh, I feel a bit nauseated even thinking about necking these bad boys. Apparently I can add honey to the hot water to make it more palatable.

I think this means they will taste worse than they smell.

ThisWitchSinks · 07/10/2012 08:45

Oh god. It looks like pond water and smells oddly sweet.

Do I add more water to dilute it, but increase the volume, or try and drink it as it is?

Honey is already in it. I'm not sure it's helped.

eurochick · 07/10/2012 08:53

I'll have a go at a few suggestions, rasp. I'm sure the BESH hivemind can come up with others. I'd recommend going for a few walks (or wherever you do your best thinking ) in the days before the appointment and trying to really figure out your doubts and uncertainties so you can put those into questions.

-what would the aim be of Clomid? (for a regularly ovulating woman - I think you are ovulating as you are "unexplained")
-what side effects can I expect?
-how many cycles should I try it for?
-will I be monitored while I am on it?
-how successful is Clomid for women who are already ovulating?

-if I move to IVF now, when would I start?
-if I move to IVF after trying Clomid, when would I start?
-what would the drug regime for IVF be (short protocol/long protocol, etc)

The 'erbs sound vile, sinky. My first acu lady mentioned 'erbs a couple of times but never gave me any in the end. The current one hasn't mentioned them yet, thankfully.

I am up far earlier than I want to be. And contemplating a run. I rarely go two days in a row for fear of aggravating my Dodgy Knee, but I haven't done much at all this week, so I feel like I should make up for it at the weekend. And it would give me the spare calories to eat cake later. Hmmm.

evilgiraffe · 07/10/2012 08:54

Just knock it back, sinky, it'll be over quicker.

I've been up for ages already watching the formula one, now desperate for more sleep! HOTB and I will probably go out on our bikes later though, it's looking like another lovely day :)

ThisWitchSinks · 07/10/2012 09:05

Fuck me. That is disgusting.

I cannot do this twice a day.

HaveALittleFaith · 07/10/2012 09:10

Breathe in, drink, breathe out. That was my method with disgusting shots in my teens!

raspberrytipple · 07/10/2012 09:17

Thanks Euro, excellent start! That's exactly what I need, I'll definitely have to write it all down too, I'll forget everything the second we walk in otherwise.

Sinky! Hold your nose and knock it back in one go. Can you have something nice on standby to down straight after?

I'm up pretty early, going straight to supermarket at 10 to get soup making ingredients, going to make a massive job lot today for the coming week and I might freeze some too. Although I will require more Tupperware. Ahh the dilemmas of a domestic goddess. Not.
