The End is Nigh! Batten down the hatches in the BESH Bunker

[FrankelDeBeauvoir]

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)

Gosh, fred is quiet today!

Wink I think I oved last Thursday. SInce Saturday I have been feeling queasey on and off. Similar timing to last month's queasiness, although I also felt completely wiped out then (and I don't now, 5am wake ups aside). It's super early, but I had no nausea at all pre-ov both months (apart from the hour of seasick hurling on the dive boat I think I mentioned). No other symptoms.

Well the Droid had arrived after tasting me for days. oh well guess I am going to have to sit with my sil at xmas dinner and be jealous. Fuck.

Total inability to think straight or type. I feel crap and I've so much marking to do before bloody xmas that I honestly can't see a way out at the moment...
A male in my dept jokingly said to me you'll be the next one dodging off on mat leave eh? I don't really know him, he's newish and odd but I really felt like violence. I may do something to his milk...
Laxatives perhaps.....
Thanks for the cod!

Luffin the laxative in milk theory blue. Sorry to hear the droid got you. Have some gin

So we've had the scan! All healthy, wriggly baybee. She wasn't keen on doing the writing it down so we just asked her to look but of course the rascal wasn't in a good position for assessing! As far as she can see, no male bits so most of you guessed right! Lickle baybee girl!

Oh that's great Faith! Must've been amazing! Cheers got the gin

Aww, how lovely, faith :)

Droid is due tomorrow. The last couple of days I've felt very emotional so suspect I'm not diffed. However, temp was still high today, so droid may hold off until Thursday. Bets on temp dropping like a stone tomorrow morning?

Ah what lovely lovely news Faith

Words of wisdom from Winkly, very well put.

Stabbing lesson was ok. Time for it to get real now. I had a little tear this morning, I always carried a thought that there was still a chance to get a FCFU. Bring on the Burselin.

Congrats Faithy

Well done in the stabbing session Jethro, it's not .too bad really

Evil I'm still crossing fingers for you.

CD34 here and still no sign of OV

A wee girl! How luffly

Well done on stabbing, Jeffers. I know what you mean about the final, final FUFC diff - I have about 10 days before I know whether I have managed that. I'm not holding my breath

Aw jeff. I sympathise muchly. I have my appointment tomorrow and I am feeling weirdly heavy-hearted about it, after a week of being generally balanced and excited. I think it's being confronted with the reality of it - the "oh shit, it isn't a bit of a joke, I really am at this point" kind of thing.

That's EXACTLY it, Norf.

We really are Barren. Feck.

Fanks! we are chuffed to bits but honestly didn't really care what flavour it was

Muchos sympathies for reaching the point of no return with FUFCs. Well done on honing the stabbing technique jefferz. Any kind of input is not what we imagined though I dunno if I ever expected it from a moment of pure lurve but it'll be worth it when you win your baybees. Honest. I have only just stop apologising/justifying to the world for winning our baybee myself.

draf can we see the chart linky pliz?

Morning hags!

Hurrah for an ickle probably girl baybee. Many congrats faif. The best news of all is that she was wriggly and healthy looking although it would have been better for my sweepstake scare had it been a boy

And jethro I so know the feeling of have I really got to this point, already? With respect to ze Drucks and giving up hope of any natural diffages. But having been on the other side, albeit briefly, I can tell you that the nasty bit of AC does not go away but seems worth it after all. Hence my continued stabbing despite being unexplained and really hating it.

Same to you norf. Good luck for the appointment today. And channeling my counsellor here take your time to deal with the grief of having to go through something you never envisaged on the way to your so deserved baybee win.

Fingers crossed for at least one ironice pre-AC diff for arie!

[hgrin] at laxatives in milk blue! Karate chop for your droid as well. Why are you so knackered? Fingers crossed for no huge dip draff! And I always want a nosy (but am in meetings most of the day, so won't be in to check!) Ready to punch some european kidneys as well in a week or so.

Right, it is time to finish my toast and head out of the door...

Aw, that's lovely faif.

Jeff I remember that feeling. I was strangely numb and then batshit menkul when actually doing the drucks, but beforehand I was really upset that we had got to that point.

Good luck for your appointment Norf. We have our appointment at Create tomorrow. I''m feeling fine about it at the moment. I have been here before (at the pre-IVF appointment) and I think it is easier after the first time as you have dealt with a lot of the associated emotions.

The jetlag got me again this morning. I've been awake on and off since 5. The nausea seems to have fucked off though. I'm not sure if I'm pleased about that or not.

I fink that counts as waves of nausea, euro Don't think you're escaping a kidney punching that easily.

Seeing as I've got to this day, can someone who's been through the first appointment tell me what actually happens at it? We've got the evening presentation thing as well. Is that just a video/q&a sort of thing?

faif, massive congrats on a teeny faithlette! Lovely photo in t'other place too :)

You can link charts? I have no clue how. Temp still high so far though :)

However, this has been eclipsed this morning as my big ginger cat is peeing blood everywhere :( car is de-iced, vet is supposed to open at 8.30 so we are repeat calling them hoping they'll pick up...

Oh, poor Drafkittie. I hope you got the vet to answer.

Another high temp you say?

They're going to weigh me? Bugger. I wish I hadn't had such a massive supper and all those choc biscuits after this morning's (freeeezing) riding lesson.

We've done all the blood tests in advance, so that's ok. Apart from my FSH level. My weight will prob be a kilo above what I said on the form. Maybe even more, as AMNH and I are going to have lunch first. Gah.

On train to Oxford now, admiring the frosty fields from the window.

Am I allowed a little giggle at you focussing on the weigh in? I think it's just because in some areas you aren't eligible if you have a BMI over 30 or whatever. The nurse took one look at me and said something like "this is pointless but please step on the scales as I need to fill in the form" - and I am not exactly a slip of a thing.

It will be fine.

The frost is making everything beautiful, norf - everything is pretty! Hope the appt goes well too :)

Vet has given the cat lots of injections, and I've been busy covering soft furnishings in dust sheets. Cat is now nestled in a dust-sheet-covered blanket on the sofa and looking a bit more normal. Poor old thing, she's normally the friendliest most cuddly purry cat in the world, it's weird seeing her sit still and quiet if she's not sleeping :(
