Doff your top hats, lean on your canes, 'tis a Victorian Christmas for the BESH. Baste those turkeys in Victoria & Albert style, and maintain a stiff upper lip when you fill in the BESHtionnaire to see if you are cynical stoic enough to win a Baybee.

He has been on the meds 10 weeks now and this has only just happened. It's so confusing and sad.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 12/01/2013 03:38

I'm here. Sorry for delay rie, am on a night shift, just come on break.

Could be a variety of things but my first bets would be either temperature spike (related to an infection) or medication. They will probably do a brain scan and lots of bloods to try to establish what caused it. Bless him, he's had a bad run of it, hasn't he? Hoping and praying for a quick recovery.

TWinklyLittleStar · 12/01/2013 06:25

Morning rie, how are you all bearing up? Thinking of you.

frank is the temp still up this morning?

Northey · 12/01/2013 07:06

rie did you manage to get some rest overnight? How did your father do?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 12/01/2013 08:33

rie thinking of you. Hope the morning brings better news.

Right it's time. If droid is not here, then Frank, you need a very firm !

EuroShagmore · 12/01/2013 08:37

Thinking of you Rie.

maamalady · 12/01/2013 08:43

Fingers crossed things are improved today, rie.

I'm a "wait until one week late" POASer, so I'm not going to punch Frank in the kidneys just yet. Having said that, said kidneys do look nice and juicy, don't they?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/01/2013 08:50

Morning everyone. Rie I hope your dad, and you are ok this morning.

Well temp went up another 0.2 degrees this morning, so I peed on a stick. Negative I'm afraid Sad

I'm beginning to think more and more that the "dip" was actually ovulation, which means I'm only 9/10 dpo. Pretty sure that puts me out of the game as we'd eased off the sechs by that stage thinking I'd already ov'd Angry @ self.

Northey · 12/01/2013 08:55

Two more days then another fiver, I reckon. It's all still to play for.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/01/2013 14:30

I probably will Morf, that or leave it till next weekend. Annoyingly, having put my negative test into Futility Fiend, it's now saying it can't pin point ovulation as my cycle is too erratic HmmKinda ironic really, when you consider I'm a control freak in real life!

In good news, HWHNN and I have been on a health kick - just eating better and moving around more - since last weekend, we weighed ourselves this morning and I've dropped 3lbs and he's dropped 5lbs. We went on a 4 mile walk this morning, bracing but energising

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/01/2013 14:30

Morf?? Morf?? Blush

JethroTull · 12/01/2013 17:13

Futility Friend is irritating. 3lbs is brilliant Frank. Walking is the most effective fat burning exercise too.

Trigger shot is 9pm tonight. Egg retrieval is 9am on Monday. Eeeeeek. The appointment this morning was positive, I haven't produced loads of follicles but they are a good size and my womb lining is good.

jethro that is so exciting! The QUALITY mantra obviously paid off. It was the black banana wot done it.

TWinklyLittleStar · 12/01/2013 18:25

Fingers crossed for you jeff, will be thinking of you.

bugs I cannot pee in a SheWee. Fact.

Good effort being healthy and all that frank

I rode my bike home from work today. Only 6 miles but dear me it was cold and I cannot get warm.

rie if you are reading, hugs.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 12/01/2013 18:28

Ooh good luck jeff! Sending growy vibes your way.

That is a brilliant story norf/morf! Made me :) after my night.

TWink you need a bath to warm your bones.

Last night tonight! Boss has agreed I don't have to do any more so last one until I come back off mat leave. Hooray!

EuroShagmore · 12/01/2013 18:30

Nice lining Jeff.

How exciting to have EC on Monday. I'm about two weeks behind you, all being well.

Frank FF is a bit menkul. BESH knows best. Wee on another fiver in a couple of days. Well done on the weightloss (although from your photos on stalkerbook, it doesn't look like you needed it!).

Rie I hope all is well.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 12/01/2013 18:57

Hello BESHes

Northey · 12/01/2013 19:02

FFS! So is an MRI going to happen? Have they done any tests, or just kept him under observation?

Have you gone to be there too? How are you doing?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 12/01/2013 19:12

I haven't gone yet. I didn't sleep all night because my bastard sister kept texting :). And then mum phoned at 3 o clock. I fell asleep about 8am and slept til 2.15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sprang out of bed in a total panic.

My uncle is going this evening and chasing up the scan. They have done blood tests. My dad seems ok in himself, quite cheerful actually.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/01/2013 19:40

That's awful Rie Shock definitely make lots of noise about lack of progress.

Thanks again for the comments, I'm feeling remarkably zen about it at the moment - first time I haven't cried at a negative test

Euro, your very kind Blush. I'm not trying to lose a lot of weight, just drop a few pounds to feel better about myself. I recently realised I've put on a stone and a half over the last 6/7 years so want to try and shift a bit of that. I was always skinny growing up - don't think I weighed much more than 7 stone until I hit about 17 and then my arse decided it wanted its own postcode Wink

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 12/01/2013 19:45

Hang on and PO another S in a couple of days or so.

Sorry I missed that bit, Frank.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 12/01/2013 21:19

What a pile of shit news:

So sorry about your dad ariel. Will keep reading for news! And hands and cake on offer to comfort you with or without cods Thankful for sinky and faif's advice. And about your uncle going in to sort stuff out tonight. Keeping everything crossed for recovery and some sensible care.

Hurrah for being done with nights faif!

Bugs job is a shame, although you must have done well! Also sorry about droidal invasion!

Massive good luck with retrieval jeff and well done on the beautiful lining.

norf Maximal Grim Story of the Day. Have a badge!

frank sorry about the wasted fiver, but it ain't over yet. Eyes up kidneys puts off poking for a few days. Well done on the health kick though. We've been for a swim this afternoon but I have huge post-O boobs. No need for poking, it is only 3dpiui.

euro quiet confession, I might have googled fish names, as I don't really know much beyond gold fish, cod, salmon and tuna Blush

snowqueenrollo · 12/01/2013 21:42

hello ladies.....I've been sort of following you all but not posting. I'm very close to hatching. Am banned from driving and on enforced rest to try and avoid this baybee arriving too early. Moving about is setting off lots of pains....was 3/5ths engaged at Weds appt.....if I can keep this bundle inside until a week tomorrow then I can go ahead with the Home Birth. Am crossing my legs and standing on my head.

JethroTull · 12/01/2013 22:04

Thanks for all the good thoughts hags. Trigger shot is done. No more injections!

Snowqueen I think I was hiding under a rock when you were around but good luck with Home Birth [ smile]

Hope you have a restful night Rie & manage to get some more sleep.
