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)

thanks Frankel - I think that one comment was shock enough, I'm worried if i say anything else they might start asking me actual questions Grin

Hearing puppy cry was awful. Hopefully she'll better once it's been pinned, it's quite a clean break so at the moment it's moving around as she moves, not nice :(

FrankelSaysRelax · 21/10/2012 20:59

I have my scan first thing in the morning. I'm assuming that the drugs are working, I've been feeling lots of twinges in my nether regions plus my skin now strongly resembles that of a 14yo Hmm

Northey · 21/10/2012 21:24

In a youthful glowing way? Or a horrid spotty way? Hopefully the former. Are you injecting like a skanky addict pro by now? Good luck for scan.

I've got fertility consultant in the afternoon. Luckily I hadn't cancelled the appointment... Key question - "How do you rate my chances of achieving a normal womble-based pregnancy without IVF?"

FrankelSaysRelax · 21/10/2012 21:31

Oh god no, I've never had glowing skin - just shiny! Nope, I'm covered in spots, they're on my chest too
Injections are definitely easier now, though still sting-y on occasion.

Good luck for your appointment too.

ThisWitchSinks · 21/10/2012 21:42

My skin has never been worse. I didnt realise what the pill was doing for me until I stopped. My face is okay-ish. My chest and back is like that of a 14 year old who's not yet discovered clearasil. Sexy.

Now I think about it, I don't think I own any v-neck tops any more thanks to the hormonal chest spots.

I feel your pain.

ThisWitchSinks · 21/10/2012 21:45

And good luck for appointments, the pair of you.

I might ring again tomorrow. Last Monday they said appointment was in the post. Would a sane person leave things a bit longer before ringing again?

JethroTull · 21/10/2012 21:55

I am currently taking DHEA to help with my elderly eggs. It is making me ridiculously spotty too. Spotty BESH. Nice.

Northey · 22/10/2012 07:04

No, sinks, a sane person could definitely phone again. Phone!

FrankelSaysRelax · 22/10/2012 08:57

All done. As I was warned, I am border line over stimulating, I've got 1 follicle of 10mm on my right ovary and 2 of 12mm and 13mm on my left. If I put up 4 over 10mm they will cancel the cycle Angry

The nurse is going to talk to the Dr this morning and they will call me back with "the plan". She said they will probably drop my dose (currently 75ml per day) and rescan me either tomorrow or Wednesday.

At the moment, it's triplets here we come!

Northey · 22/10/2012 09:07

Cool! But well done on responding in the first place.

evilgiraffe · 22/10/2012 11:11

Indeed, hurrah for responding! I'll keep my fingers crossed the three is where it stops :)

eurowitch · 22/10/2012 11:28

Well it's good that you are responding, FSR. Now they just need to egt the dose right! (But if you end up with a spare couple of babies, feel free to send one my way. THX.)

I've been for my start of week woo, which was nice. She did a bit of shiatsu as well as the needles so my stressy shoulders are a bit less tense than usual (I'm sure a few hours at work will sort that out).

Northey · 22/10/2012 14:03

I've been for a gorgeous walk in the woods with AMNH to admire autumn leaves and talk about what we want to get out of clinic appointment this afternoon. He is a bit of a charming dolt sometimes - lot of nodding at everything I say, but no ability to think of any questions of his own. Or even recall what we've tried so far. Idiot.

evilgiraffe · 22/10/2012 14:24

Heh, Norf, that sounds like me. HOTB has to remember everything, it all falls out of my head alarmingly quickly.

I have managed to secure a cancellation appointment for this afternoon, hurrah! Hopefully I will be able to sort out this long-period nonsense...

FrankelSaysRelax · 22/10/2012 15:05

Well done Evil and good luck Norf

Northey · 22/10/2012 16:25

IVF referral in the post. Wow! I was all geared up for a long fight for it, failure, and then having to go private. But lovely lovely new doctor just went straight for it. Having celebratory cocktails in swanky country pub by hospital. AMNH is mutinously insisting his pink raspberry thing is Not At All Gay. Ha!

How was your appointment draf?

FrankelSaysRelax · 22/10/2012 16:39

Good news Norf and "hurrah" for understanding Dr.

Clinic have just called, I'm to halve my dose today and tomorrow and go back for a re-scan on Weds morning. Nurse thinks they may well cancel this cycle, but if they cancel it it doesn't count towards my 3.

Forgot to say this morning, nurse said I had "grown a wonderful lining" this morning. She said it was the best she'd seen in weeks [teachers pet] Grin

evilgiraffe · 22/10/2012 16:44

Hurrah! Well done, norf!

The doctor seemed completely not worried about my mysterious droidal situation, but I flustered a bit at her and she's referring me for a scan, just to check, which is nice. I'd much rather someone look and check all is well rather than just assuming that is the case! She said it's probably just down to the work-related stress from earlier in the year - apparently that can take a while to have a physical effect? I am doubtful about that, but shall await my scan letter and then we'll know a bit more :)

evilgiraffe · 22/10/2012 16:45

Ooo, cross post. Well done Frankel, too!

Northey · 22/10/2012 17:07

Well done racehorse.

eurowitch · 22/10/2012 17:44

FSR your lining sounds like a thing of wonder - get preening!

Norfy that is excellent. And it is great that AMNH is sufficiently secure in his sexuality to drink that in public.

Draf well done on getting the scan. I think I'd be happiest if I had CCTV in there so I could see what was going on at all times!

FrankelSaysRelax · 22/10/2012 17:47

Good going evil Grin

Well it's all go here, my BF has just texted to say she is in early stages of labour Grin. Bout flipping time really, she's a week overdue!

[paces room anxiously like a bloke in a 1950s film]

ThisWitchSinks · 22/10/2012 17:51

Well done besh laideez.

I also have a clinic appointment- it did require me going apocalyptic at the clinic and invoking the wrath of PALS, (so now I'll be marked as the pushing demanding ptn..), but dec 20th I get to see someone!

Just to really get my blood pressure up, they have told me the delays are due to me DNAing appointments and not replying to letters. They deny ever telling me a letter was in the post etc etc. not sure this bodes well for ongoing cordial relations...

ThisWitchSinks · 22/10/2012 18:30

And now I'm home and not on the mobile, I can type and catch up properly!

Congrats norfy for the sensible consultant, fsr for your lovely womble lining, and draf for getting your scan.

Perhaps with all these appointments it's time for a mass BESH fufc diffage?

FrankelSaysRelax · 22/10/2012 18:36

We is gonna need a new fred shortly. We talks too much and there is no way we will last till Halloween!
