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!

Good luck for dildocams & calls from FC today hags. I have not POAS today. Fuck, this means I have to do it tomorrow. I'd rather just bury my head in the sand & see if a baby turns up eventually.

Well done Jeffers. Any usual pre-droid type action? If not, that's a good sign

@ Norf. What are you suggesting madam?

I think this really is droid this morning. Not gushing red blood, but definitely more than spotting.

I'm going to phone the clinic and ask if I can take drugs to Wales in a coolbox, as I was meant to be going up this weekend and actually would quite like not to do the first injection on my own.

jeff, you will be great tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, Jeff and Euro :)

I am mildly peeved with HOTB just going to sleep last night. Sleep is not going to get me diffed Still, it's not like I felt like it either so I can't really blame him. And a gin-soaked wife in tears is not the sexiest image...

Sorry about potential droid Norf. I'm sure the clinic will agree to moving drucks around.

Evil, it's awful when you know you ought to be doing it, but really just can't be arsed.

Scan done, one follicle of 11mm but my right ovary has another 4 under 10mm that could do anything . Got to come back tomorrow for another scan as nurse doesn't want to leave me over the weekend taking more drucks. Another early start battling with rush hour traffic for me then!

Meant to add, Euro - I see your lovely endometrium and raise you my "impressive" (according to the nurse) 9.1mm

Jeff I am very impressed by your self-restraint.

Norfy I'm sure the coolbox will be fine.

Draf I am given to understand that some men like shagging crying women, but they are generally not the ones you want to be with...

Well, KFZK has taken the call from the clinic. To my surprise (eternal pessamist) we have an embie. It's coming home at noon tomorrow. Blimey. I really wasn't expecting that. I am not getting my hopes up though. I am sure we have got this far at least twice on our own. Making it stick is the tricky part.

Hurrah! Barry White did the trick!

Woo hoo! Brilliant news euro. Well done little embie.. We got it together, didn't we?

Sorry re droid norf. I imagine there's mixed feelings as a BFP would still have meant anxiety about where the egg had nestled in. I hope you can get the drucks to go and have a nice weekend with AMNH.

tipps it gets to us all at times. You're definitely not alone. I agree with was it? drizz - let it out here/take some time out. Whatever you need to do.

Everything crossed for the morning jeffers. Do you have a fiver to pee on?

Wish me luck. MSB is finally introducing me to his grandparents, mother, aunt, uncle and cousins. We're en route to Devonshire at the moment. Only been married 4 1/2 years! :)

Euro, if it works and it sticks and everything goes ok and it's a boy, you should deffo call him Barry.

Good luck FAIF! Only now??? Why, if you don't mind me asking.

And Norf, what Faithy said about the anxiety. Head fuck mind games that it is.....

Morning all. Amazing how much chat I miss out on going to bed early. I felt ill all over, went to bed at 8pm.

norf a coolbox would be good enough for chicken so am sure it will be fine for drugs. And faify is vair wise.

Well done on the EurEmbryo and I have fingers and toes crossed like this --> xx

faith - 4 & a half years? How/why?

I am about to go see a fertility needling lady. Don't know if it'll get me diffed but might ease the ball of anxiety I'm permanently carrying in my belly. Or it might just be a shocking waste of shoes money.

Well done Euro on the embie Now that Barry White has done the trick we need some more songs to encourage stickiness. Any ideas?

Yes to the "why so long?" Faith? It did take HWHNN a year to introduce me to his mum, but he says it was not intentional and he was a tad embarrassed about where she lived, etc. Men - go figure!

Let's Stay Together? There must be other sticky-femed songs.

Faif why has he kept you hidden for so long?

Yay for the embie! Hip hip huzzah!

Three cheers for the embryeuro! I vote for ices to celebrate!

Just phoned the clinic to book in for a treatment cycle. Now waiting for a nurse to phone back to arrange ultrasounds and stuff.

Well done Norf.

Sorry have been meeting the grandparents. MSB cut contact with his mother around the time we met. I suspect she has mental health ishoos. He only got back in touch with her and his grandparents in the last few months and spoken to his Mum since I got diffed....they are in Devon (obviously) and so not like a quick trip to pop in. Decided since I am now diffed we should meet. So far, so good with the GPILs although I am shockingly tired from the travelling.

Twinks I am having needling for my pain relief with really good effect. I have cut my codiene down quite a lot and I find it very relaxing. I dunno if it really works but even if its placebo it's worth it.

Good work norf!

My rescan tomorrow has been moved to Saturday morning. The nurse called to say she thought the difference tomorrow would be too small so they're going to give me 2 more days on the current dosage.

faif I was incredibly chilled after needling. Then I got into work :(

Hurrah for embryo Euro. Remember my mantra IOTO. What time is ET?

I luff my needles lady. She is cool & very wise.
Faith your MiL sounds a little like mine. Hope it's all going ok.

I am all consumed with the thought of POAS results tomorrow.

I'm not surprised Jefferson. What time will you be POASing? What can you do to distract yourself? I recommend iwastesomuchtime.com

Well it could be the middle of the night as I've been waking up at 3am to pee. So should I do it then?

Distractions this evening are mostly watching shit tv & eating shortbread.

Ah I've been there jeffers! I never like to POAS in the night because the squinting is even worse. I tended to PIAPot and then use that concentrated pee to test when it got light.
