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)

Just wondering the same. Hopefully she's busy being gooey & emailing the scan picture to all & sundry.

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 18:05

(was brave and looked in ante natal)

Yes it appears it all went well for her.

Northey · 17/10/2012 18:07

But only an hour till potion-warming time!

Hello all. We were at the hospital forever! Good news, definitely a baybee in there! Little monkey wasn't in the right position to be measured so back in the next fortnight to try again but it was wriggling away - it waved at one point and puts its hands behind its head! Waited nearly 2 hours for 5 minutes with consultant re my urinary tract stuff. She says low risk pregnancy, just want a GTT because my BMI is 30 but that's fine. :)

I went to Munich in February and July and did a pilgrimage to Salzburg. It was snowy and very, very cold in Feb but luffly in July.

Sorry the horsey was a bit slow Frank!

FrankelSaysRelax · 17/10/2012 18:10

Yay for waving bean Faithy Grin

I've never had a winter holiday, can definitely recommend Venice in September, but apparently it's whiffy in the summer and chuffin cold in the winter! [helpful]

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 18:14

Congrats faif

I went to Canada in January this year, the first half of the holiday was cold but crisp and bright and lovely. They had a cold snap after we'd been there just under a week, daytime temperature of -35 to -40 celsius, truly horrible. Miami and the.Florida Keys are a much better idea in my opinion.

FrankelSaysRelax · 17/10/2012 20:01

Did an experiment - using an ice cube definitely makes a difference! I didn't bother with it tonight and it definitely stung (stang?) more.

Don't know if its the injections, but I feel so tired at the moment and I have the most awful wind Blush. Thank god HWHNN isn't here!

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 20:04

Oh goodness frank you are brave - I think I would take pain over getting ice cubes out and rubbing them on myself.

Northey · 17/10/2012 20:45

Glad the scan went well faithy. I saw the pic in the other place - so lovely!

Poor tired farty frankel. Do you feel any different otherwise?

raspberrytipple · 17/10/2012 21:15

Evening girls! I just saw on another thread that OPKs aren't much good while on clomid - does anyone know? We spent £10 on the bloody things on amazon last night. Also bought some conceive plus to get things going for the next few months. SWI starts in ernst tonight if I can get my arse off the sofa and in the shower for a wash then into sexy gear Grin

Congrats on the scan faith, did you get a pic? I've heard that a number of places don't really do them now as they don't need them for records so they've stopped making it available.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 17/10/2012 21:21

Hags. We're HAGS!

Northey · 17/10/2012 21:33

I definitely look like a hag. All grey and drawn and metaphorically warty.

FrankelSaysRelax · 17/10/2012 21:37

I'm not sure if I'm symptom spotting, but I've had headaches off and on since my first injection and today had a rush of CM. I suppose it stands to reason that an increase in hormone levels will lead to an increase in CM, but there's a little paranoid voice in the back of my mind saying "what if I'm over stimulating?" Confused

HaveALittleFaith · 17/10/2012 21:39

Yes got pics - paid £5 for the privilege though! I think she realised how much it meant to us (I was blubbing!) and did us five shots though :)

frank - nursey tip - if it stings, wiggle your toes when it's gone in, it helps. Learnt that as a patient receiving clexane.

Sorry for all feeling hag like. I find my skin looks luffly and radiant with Boots protect and perfect serum if that helps...?!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 17/10/2012 21:40

But the BESH are hags Barren Evil Selfish Hags!

Sorry, I was being obscure. It was to raspberry!!

raspberrytipple · 17/10/2012 21:46

hangs head in shame

Ok - evening HAGS :) ill get the hang of it soon. I'm getting more bitter by the day :D

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 21:52

Boots Protect and Perfect is the nuts!

rasp get away from the internet and get shagging :)

^^see? Evil & selfish comment

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 17/10/2012 21:55

Ah I meant nothing mean, rasp. Fancy a pint of Bitter? I'll join you. SIL posted her scan pics on FB today with a photo of her PFB holding them and smiling proudly. I nearly vomited with envy.

I used Boots Protect and Perfect for a while

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 21:57

Oh rie :( Your SIL is a nightmare. Facebook is the devil though; my entire feed now is scan pics/birth announcements/baby pics.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 17/10/2012 21:59

Mine too! If I hid them all, there'd be no one left!

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 21:59

But I bet your skin isn't at all hag-like

us barrens ought to have great skin.with all the free time we have for facials, all the sleep we get with no kids to wake us up, and of course the men in loincloths feeding us fruit to make sure we get our 5 a day

evilgiraffe · 17/10/2012 22:00

Where did "BESH" come from, anyway! B I can understand, but ESH?

evilgiraffe · 17/10/2012 22:05

My friend's husband said as I left theirs today "do you want to take DS with you?". My response of "don't even joke, I might not give him back" was a bit close to the bone.

I have been close to tears all day, I'm blaming the droid. Day six today, and I'm hoping the droid will be gone in a couple of days, rather than being halfway through...

And YES to Facebook. I'm thinking of hiding the baby picture ones, but it'd cut out SO MANY people it's probably not worth it.

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 22:06

What rie said - Barren Evil Selfish Hags. Barren, for obviousness. Evil cos we only don't have children at our age because we are evil child haters. Selfish cos we are too selfish to procreate, busy getting the abovementioned facials & having all the sechs. Hags because, the evil selfishness turns us into ugly scary old women with many cats & overgrown gardens.

WinklyFriedChicken · 17/10/2012 22:11

stirs up droid-vanishing spell in cauldron for draf

People keep saying 'do you want to take him/her with you?' to me. Makes me Envy Angry Sad in that order. Yes, I do want to take your gorgeous perfect baybee away and keep it, but I think in practice you might object.

I can feel the droid approaching, already - boobs getting big & hurty, although PMT hasn't kicked in properly yet. Trying to remind myself that Husband has only done sechs once with me this month and it is not very likely at all that his swimmers lasted almost a week and/or I laid an egg early enough to get diffed. The sechs ishoos are not new for us (thanks all for your comments earlier in the week, didn't get a chance to respond at the time) but are particularly ishoo-y when I need his swimmers or he is just stealing another month from me.
