Deck your halls & dress your trees, the BESH are gifting BFPs

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

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.

Well the centre of my festive repast has been delivered. The sewer man has been (Mr Bazalgette, I presume). I have some Xmas cards to send out to my clients, one letter to organise sending via my secretary and then I am about done. Huzzah.

Excellent idea for next fred. 1940s wartime theme.

What ho.

That is a good idea Rie.

KFZK looks like he dropped straight out of the 1940s. You know how Vic Reeves used to refer to "50s throwback Mark Lamarr"? I do the equivalent for KFZK and shout things like "chocs away, ginger" at him in faux received pronunciation.

How are you feeling today?

I think it's 4.something kg. I haven't paid much attention. That sort of thing of KFZK's domain.

I reckon ov is imminent, Bugs. Happy shagging. I think I used to ov when mine got to 20-22mm.

How often are all you all scanning? I am dreading this bit a little. Each scan will involve a 70 mile round trip.

I bid you gentlemen good day!

The assessment of our most-esteemed Doctor Shagmore seems very accurate, my dearest bugsy fellow, as to the departure of your most-fertile egg-specimen form its former host, the ovary. Mine pop within 24 hours post 21mm I wish you a pleasant evening tonight.

I have to say I am heartely glad that I found such a company (or should that say club) of likeminded gentlemen who ass a collective have reached formerly unheard of hights in barrenness.

My condolences again about the unexplainable delays to you, mrArie although I am heartely encouraged to see your fine specimens of Victorian writing reappearing. Similar condolences about the poorly results from your most esteemed partner, and the resulting encouragement to leave even more of the unfathomable process of fertilisation in the hands of our most esteemed physicians MrSink. Menopur is wot I got diffed on, though. So...

My most hearfelt shock and sympathies regarding the forthcoming investigative procedures in the stomach area, my dearest mrDraff. As you might be aware, my humble person underwent the very same and although nothing was discovered, the month after the procedure my indisposition very temporary diffage occurred.

MrShagmore it is good to hear you're helping out the kitchen maids with the delivery of the centre of your Chrismas Feast. And that the sink is getting a lap . We are doing the bahhumbug no christmas, although I shall discuss with my most esteemed partner what we shall be repasting on, while we entertain ourselves with board games, knitting and some new-fangled invention, the dvd box.

Have you gentlemen experienced the mist to shroud ourselved from the end of time?

Aries you are like me, right, SO+IUI? This cycle, which was long for me, I had a scan at day 3 (to check you can go ahead) another one at day 8, 11, 12 and IUI on day 14. When my cycle behaves more predictably, it is cd3, 8, 10, IUI on cd12.

When I had natural IUI (twice), I had one scan each cycle around day 12, just to time the turkey basting.

With Letrozole monitoring, the first cycle I had a scan on day 12 and oved on day 20 (I would have had more, but it fell over Xmas last year), the second cycle I was scanned on day 16 and had already oved. I can't remember what happened on the third cycle. I think it was one scan just before ov.

Drizz. Oh. Holy. Jesus. All those scans. All those miles :(

When I did natural IUI, aries, I did just the one scan on day 11 usually. But my cycles have become a lot more unpredictable post-mc AND they are shit-scared about overstimming at my clinic. (And it is more or less on my way to work, and these scanning appointments are always between 8 and 9am, so it is doable).

Ah ok. It's just MrA is a supply teacher and we have just the one car. We'll have to think of something...

I'd call the clinic and ask for their normal protocol (and add a bonus scan in to your calculations, in case your cycles do bonkers stuff as well). But don't get too panicked yet!

I might POAS tomorrow. Just for a laugh, like despite womble cramps and sore boobs and general Rage Wouldn't want the stix to go out of date or owt.

Come new year I'm throwing out all my sticks, rie - they went out of date a good six months ago, if not more

My pee sticks went out of date the month after my diffage. And I did not use them all. Since that is many moons ago now, I shall have to go to the shops if I ever need to test again (and I hate that).

PS Should I join the IVF in the new year fred too? We are considering/discussing with clinic in Feb whether to move up to the big stuff, if the next two cycles of IUI don't produce diffage...

mrRie, honesty compels me to admit that my visits to the infirmary for the purposes of conjuring a daguerreotype of my most innardly parts occurred once every two days for ten days in a row. That was travelling from Gwent to Berkshire and back each time so I share your most natural sentiments of feckitude.

mrLemon, the NY IVF fred would be deeply sensible of the Honour of your Presence. The more BESH the better, so huggy kissy hunners don't secretly infiltrate.

Lord

Well at least mine's not as far as that.

No we don't want any hunners.

I fear it may be on the edge if we don't get in there and set the tone. I've set the ball rolling by referring to the male member. Because I iz coarse.

RIGHT. I'M THERE!

Sorry... I was not. I was drinking too much wine and subtely (I thought) demanding SFF. I shall make my hungover presence known now!

And were you gratified in your demands, mrlem?

They are a bit too good to be true still - how the hell do they do that when hitting IVF? But I've outed myself as the laziest TCC lifestyle changer, with my simple folic acid, and no more. (Well a bit of weight restriction, but then that would be good without TTC as well).

I wonder whether they'll kick me out as undeserving? If I hit IVF I might not drink during it (because the hormones give me headaches, so I won't combine and I might actually abstain during the WWs). No promises though!
