Five and the Mystery of the Declining Fertility - the BESH engage the services of the Famous Five to track down their baybees and finish with lashings of ginger beer. Topping!

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Morning everyone, just let me wolf down this amazing meal of tinned tongue, hardboiled eggs and ginger beer (don't you find food always tastes so much better outside?) and we'll toddle off on our latest adventure. We'll make sure Anne does the washing up (you'll make a proper little housewife and no doubt the fecund mother of four fine sons one day Anne ) and us boys can have the proper adventures! No, not you George - you're nearly as good as a boy but not quite. Leave the actual procreating to me and Dick. Woof woof! Shut up Timmy!

My tinterwebs won't load. Mn on the phone is the only thing I can do. Sigh.

sorry, pressed send too soon.

So anyway, hope everyone is not too shit and those stabbing are stabbing well. Not looking forward to that bit I can tell you! Anyway, off to have another little melt down for a bit. I'm due a cry, I haven't had one since yesterday morning!

TTFN xx

Oh Tipps Sorry you are finding things so rough. Have you spoken to your fertility unit about how you are feeling? Mine offer counselling, though I've not taken it up - yet.

Have this large chunk of ginger cake and an unMNetty hug and make sure you keep popping in, if only for the spiffing company

That's true, I can wave at HWHNN. And in fact I said good evening to his building's security guard as I passed this evening, so it's almost like I've waved already.

Was in the office till 9pm :(

Hello tipps, old thing. You do sound in the dumps. A bracing bathe should sort you out (not for an hour after eating, obviously). Or a cuddle from a conger.

Thanks Frank, we are kind of in limbo now, we aren't being seen by the hospital again as we have been referred to the Midland Fertility clinic but they haven't had the paperwork as yet so can't send us the paperwork they need completed for them to judge if we meet the criteria. So we don't really belong to anyone to ask for any counsellng from at the moment.

Can't be bothered to run a bath now Northey, they are too conducive to really, really having a good sob and I don't have the energy for that. At the moment I am trying to throw myself into studying and getting a six pack in time for our April holiday. It's starting to come along nicely. These really are desperate times.....

Hello Tipps
I'm sorry things are so difficult for you at the mo. It sucks. You have my sympathies and I very much hope that you get your baybee just as soon as the NHS can manage it.

Let's send Timmy to nip their ankles until they work faster.

Tips that sounds tough going. You are on the path to IVF though.

I'm a little closer to IVF than I am entirely comfortable with tonight. (F.R.E.A.K.I.N.G.O.U.T.) I'm very bloated from the Ovitrille and still feeling mildly icky. Meh.

What time is fanjo needle tomorrow?

Poor Tipps :(

Things are a bit shit around here at the moment aren't they?

Personally I am wondering how ON EARTH I could ever cope with running a business and having a baybee. I don't think I would. I don't think I could.

The cat could babysit.

Don't laugh No one can do my job except me.

the waiting is shitty isn't it? It drove me to dispair, so much that I reduced my working hours to 3 days a week. Distraction, exercise & acupuncture were the things that kept me going.

I can't sleep. Didn't POAS this morning so won't cave now until SSG is home. No symptoms though & I feel like I'm getting a cold. Meh.

Euro don't think about the Needle. You won't feel, see or remember A Thing. Sending you some calm positive thought. Go egg!

And Rie you Will Manage. Because that's what us hags do. We Find A Way.

Rooting for you today Euro. Don't think needle, think egg collecting straw

Well done on holding out Jeffers, not long to go now.

The FSH is knocking me for six this time, I'm utterly exhausted. I've been really tired for the last few days, I even went to bed at 9.30 last night

Well done for resisting, jeff. When does SSG get there?

Good luck, euro. It will be like a nice mid-morning nap, I bet, with all those lovely sedatives. Are you taking the rest of the day off?

Oh, on droidwatch, there's been no more blood since yesterday's big splotch, so I don't think that was day 1. Will see what today produces, pant-wise.

Thanks ladies. Fanjo needle is at 10.30. We just have to get across London first with NO BREAKFAST. This is bad (not least because I tend to get a bit pukey on an empty stomach - not ideal in the morning rush).

Norf it's nice to have a hobby. [:)]

Jeff you are very restrained. I am considering doing something I heard about on the Pred thread last year - testing super early so you can see the Ovitrille getting out of your system, so you know how early you can really test. Or I just might not bother testing at all and just wait for Droid to turn up, like I usually do.

Rie I have the same thought. My job can involve a lot of long hours and international travel. I guess I would just have to hand most of my salary to a nanny to make it work. Or persuade KFZK to become a househusband (he is currently the lower earner, but I expect that to change when I get sidelined after sprogging...).

Good luck, [Euro] :) It will be fine!

I have a nurse appt for swabs this afternoon, yay

And by [Euro] I clearly mean Euro...

Good luck today Europa.

Good luck euro!

Very restrained jeffers. Not long to wait now.

Good luck euro

POAFed for fun. BFN, obviously.
