A wordy fred title I know, but it's too early to think of something snappier!

Get ready for the end of the world: grab your OFRS, your emergency gin supply and join us shrivelled harridans in the BESH Bunker.

Admittance is only permitted on production of a successfully completed BESHtionnaire (hint, check out previous BESH threads)

I'm not sure if I'm more entranced by the farting or the puking detail.

Good luck for stabbing training! I fort you were doing IUI. Do you ned to stab for that? Or have I completely misunderstood what IUI actually involves?

EuroShagmore · 28/11/2012 12:32

Rie it's the most interesting thing I have heard all day. But then I do work at a law firm.

I gave up caffeine for 6 months. And alcohol. Did I get pregnant? Nope. So I'm back on the wine and coffee now. I don't have much though. Wine, because my friends are all preggers or lightweights with newborns and coffee because I am very caffeine sensitive and more than one makes me a bit jittery.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 28/11/2012 12:35

I have to stab for IUI to be awash with eggs. For this reason I need to be prepared for the prospect of multiples. One in three resulting pregnancies is twins and one in a hundred is triplets. I am very afraid of this.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 12:36

Rie I am glad its not just me. I hate going out for a nice dinner only to have some fucker ruin it by ordering a mint tea at the end. Mint sauce for lamb makes me sick as well, fresh mint and mojitos don't.

I have just been sick and want to cry. If I'm not diffed where is my period and why am I being tortured? If I am diffed why did I not get a positive result when I POASd?

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 12:37

Twins is cool rie, ex-gf won twins and they are fabulous.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 13:35

Ooh lillly has been called on doing a Fred similar before and the state of relationships! Shock One wonders if she's really in a position to judge barrenness?

On a totally random and unrelated note, do you think All that she wants by Ace of Base is really about the most extreme way to TTC?!

FriendofDorothy · 28/11/2012 13:38

I would have loved to have had twins. Was tragically disappointed to find out there was only one. Felt most ungrateful and then got over myself.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 13:47

lillly has ishoos. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

I have often thought that "All That She Wants" is about a woman heading out to steal spermz from unsuspecting men.

JethroTull · 28/11/2012 13:57

Vom, Mint Tea & Ace of Bass....only on the BESH fred.

I agree Faif that just giving up coffee & wine won't win me a baby. I like to feel like I am Doing Somthing though IYSWIM?

Sorry for puking Winkly - are you at work? I am sat at my desk feeling ill. I think I am Gettting Myself In a State about everything. I want to go home & go to bed.

I quite like mint tea. But mojitots are better.

Good luck at stabbing lesson Rie. remember you're more likely to win one baybee than two or three.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 14:03

Not at work jeff, I start nights tonight so am currently Sitting On My Arse. Sorry you feel ill. Can you slide off early and go for a nap?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 15:23

I know exactly what you mean jeff. I think it's good for your system to have minimal caffiene in it, especially when you are outsourcing the baybee winning. Actually since being diffed my body has pretty much rejected caffiene....

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 15:24

X-posts wink. Boo, nights suck. Well especially the waiting to go to the first one! The best thing is coming home when other people are leaving for work. There's a sense of smugness to knowing you've worked all night and get to go to bed soon! :)

EuroShagmore · 28/11/2012 15:45

Random puking, eh, winkly.

Hmmm.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 15:49

I already POASd euro and there was no so much as the faintest hint of a whisper of a second line.

maamalady · 28/11/2012 16:16

Eeeeep! Spotting! Another ov sign! AN ACTUAL SIGN!

HOTB had better be feeling amorous this evening...

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 17:11

Good shagging to you draf

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 28/11/2012 18:02

Evening hags!

Welcome back jethro I always think of 24 when I see your name, am I alone in that

I am totally unwitty from working a fair bit since getting home from hols. So I missed lilly and all the other freds and kittens. I did get the mint-vom. My (male) boss had a mint tea with our meeting today... It would have been quite entertaining to vom there and then.

Good luck for the needle class Rie. Do you know what medication you will be jabbing, yet? I can do extended protocols not a scientist, honestly on menopur stabbing. Also I am joining you in the stabby IUI camp next week unless I am diffed, which I am not

Good luck with Le Sechsing draffy

Read all the faith stuff, seems a lot of bother. Just thinking of the whole PoP (pile of poo) as bad luck is bad enough. No need to involve a fourth or fifth in our reproductive process (besides the lab tech and the doc).

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 28/11/2012 18:03

On faif, helly fat one, how's the belly progressing?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 18:12

Progressing nicely, thanks for asking drizzlyone! Still not hugely obvious in normal clothes - probably a combo of the 'titled' uterus and no weight gain yet (yay me!) - but definite bump in my work tunics. Feeling movement which is exciting!

Obvious ovving draflikelaydee! Put your sechsy undies on! :)

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 18:18

Stabby central here soon :)

I just POAnotherStick. There may have been a second line OR it may be a trick of the light. Too difficult to call it. I have been testing with these internet cheapies which don't have the best reviews - a lot of people are saying the line is too faint or they were getting negatives when they actually were diffed. So do I go to tesco and buy a clear blue?

MissSlapAndTipple · 28/11/2012 18:25

Don't drink for two hrs, get your rear to tesco and get a good 'un and PEE ON IT!!!! GO GO GO GO !!!!!!

EuroShagmore · 28/11/2012 18:26

YES!

bluer · 28/11/2012 18:36

Yes!

I got my first ever smiley face on opk today - Mr.DF goes out to work at 10 - we last seched on Mon night - should I jump him or will tomorrow be ok? And if I still get a smiley tomorrow what day would you reckon OV happens? I need to get a blood test and I was thinking next Fri would prob be seven days post-Ov? Shit this stuff is too blooming complicated...

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 18:38

Oooh I would jump him blue

maamalady · 28/11/2012 18:42

Squeeeee! Get thee to tesco, winks!
