Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

[sinkyroselee]

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.

This is not a woo thread (TINAWT)

Morning hags!

You're all up very early. I thought I'd be the first in here!

Jethro I had your wobbles before starting IUI about 6 months ago and will do again if we start IVF, which I am putting my head firmly in the sand about.

I feel very rough this morning, because I had a bad night sleep after a bottle of Rioja (which was lovely, although I had a little MC-related cry about halfway through) and in true barren, what-do-you-do stylee, we did do the sechsing pre-dinner last night. It is just as well, because post-Rioja we were both fairly sleepy.

Now off to start a grey day. Here's the Cod of Comfort back, norf. I have been cuddling it for weeks, so it may be a little smelly.

Oh and I am still waking the night and not getting back to sleep. But I have womble grumples as well, so droidal invasion expected in the next few days. Btw post-MC cycles are disconcertingly different...

Different how, limoncello?

I'm sorry about the crying :( I wish all this pregnancy loss grief would fuck the fuck off.

Oh hairy balls, droid cramps have arrived. Gallons of blood by tomorrow no doubt. I've also got a sore throat, fuckity fuck

The Cod of Comfort needs to breed, quickly (quicker than us, anyway!), so there is enough to go around. Sorry that so many of us are having shitty times. I'm on day 16. Post ov, pre-menkulling. Might have one last swi for luck today.

I'm off to an open day at Create later. I feel fairly relaxed about it at the moment, but it will no doubt make IVF seem real again.

Different as in longer, I am 26/27 day girl, who can tell an ovulation a mile off. And now it has been 30 days since MC and I think I had an egg sometime between 14 and 10 days ago. But I am not sure.

Don't you dare to come and bother rasberry, stupid Droid.

Nobelwitch I am sure we can share the Cod, she's rather large. Good luck at Create today. I am scared for you. But it won't involve downregging, so that has to be good. Also, plenty of sand for burying heads round here!

thanks for warning off the Droid lemon, somehow doesnt feel like it's listening to you though :(

What's a 'woo' thread?

The whore has arrived. :( Oh well, at least I know I'm a true barren if nothing else having done it at all the right times this month and still nothing. bastard thing.

Our last theme was woo. Crystals and solstice and hippy shit. And it was a thread of doom with everyone failing to win a baybee and some of us losing them or otherwise going through fertility treatment related crap.

Apparently the previous time a woo theme was tried the same thing happened. So now we have sworn a dreadful vow and signed in droid blood that NGCECOAWT and we will never have another one.

NGCE what now?

And hurrah for non-woo. It's all bollocks. A friend of mine is into reiki and animal communication and I have to bite my tongue so hard not to say "NONSENSE" whenever she mentions it.

No Good Can Come From A Woo Thread.

I'm on the sofa, still in my dressing gown, with a mug of real coffee and a snoring cat on my lap.

Droid seems lighter than normal this cycle. Today is Day 4 and it seems to have buggered off. i usually get 6 days but I'm not going to complain, praps all that spotting earlier in my cycle has played additional havoc.

No Good Can Come OF A Woo Thread, not "from"

Ahhh woo stuff, I can't buy it myself, I'm too sceptical but it does amaze me that sometimes even people who I think of as quite intelligent are into all that stuff.

And what on this earth is 'animal communication'??!!

I've just fallen out with MATV. We were supposed to go out bike riding with friends but he's just called time on that, I hate letting people down and he always does this. I am very cross but when I get angry he tell me I sound like his mother which makes me more mad because his mum is an unhinged mental case most of the time because she believes everything she reads in the Daily Mail. Not a happy bunny.

It's making up nonsense and pretending you're mindreading someone's beloved pooch, raspberry. Except they believe it.

Sorry about the row. It's very peaceful here because HOTB isn't here.

Blimey. I reckon I could guess what most dogs are thinking..... food, balls, chase stuff, food, sleeps and cuddles. Sorted. Reckon I could earn a living from it?

MATV is actually a little bit forgiven. I just had a huge meltdown about Droid arriving and for once he actually had a nice conversation about it and pointed out about it not being a race, im 29 so plenty of time, all quite cliche stuff but he meant it.....and now he is taking me into town to buy me a present. :) Trouble is I now look like shit from crying and my eyes are all puffed up :( so hoping I don't bump into anyone.

I just fell in the river. Literally, and can I please inform you that river swimming does not come recommended in October. And I cried. Then I went home, got changed and went for a run, so now I feel good about myself again.

at droid not listening to me! I would be quite shit at animal communication when I can't even make my, or rasberry's droid behave. Mine is still not here. I thought of tempting it out with some out-of-date piss-sticks, but I seem to have mislaid them (or thrown them out?!?) in the post-diff excitement. Anyway, I have sternly told myself I can't piss on anything until 5 weeks post-MC, which would be next Thursday. So I can stop menkulling now and get pissed tonight.

Well done to MATV for being good to you tonight, even if he's a moron to other cyclists. Is it starting to rain where you are as well? The droid and MATV's reluctance would be enough to keep me home and dry [haha, bitter laugh]

How on earth did you manage that, lem? I am impressed you went out for a run after. And unimpressed with life for failing to lay off you for five minutes.

rasper, AMNH is just the same about that sort of thing and it really really riles me, as then I'm tarred with the brush of his shitness. I sympathise.

Lem did you fall in while running?

Good effort on getting back out there though. I fell/slid down the river bank on my run. Not elegant. Made worse by catching my little finger on some root/solid mud stuff. And now my washing machine appears to have given up with 3 lots of damp running kit in it. That'll get pretty stinky if I can't jimmy it open...

Am now off to be v productive today, with food shopping and hoovering and general midden house cleaning shizzle. Expect me back within the hour...

No, I was in a boat, hags. A very narrow rowing type one. I hadn't ousted myself as a rower before (it makes me much more recognisable). It was grim

How did you fall in??? Did you take the blades off before you got out, like the mens 8 at college? (cue much hilarity at breakfast when they all came in sopping wet). I used to row, miss it and am trying to get back into it.

It was a single scull, and it happened when I fluffed the pushing off . I literally didn't do a single stroke. I have been learning to scull the last few weeks, I used to row loads, but always in 8s or 4s, so the two blades and the narrowness of the boat took a little getting used to.

I very nearly got swept down a weir the first time I went out in a single scull

I like that, I just never sculled outside the summer months before (because winter was for training really hard to win races in spring) and now I know also because the river is not a good place to be in after about September.
