Put on your vest/shades and grab your weapons, it's Action Hero Time.

The BESH are experts in all matters action, but specialise in taking out the local droids and sometimes Druids Wink

Cover me, I'm going in!

No date yet Norf, waiting to hear from the clinic but I suspect our paperwork is sat on some crappy desk at the referring hospital I suspect but they said to expect around autumn time, could be sooner though if the hospital pulls their finger out!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 15/02/2013 23:11

Have you had counselling, Rasp?

RaspberryTipple · 15/02/2013 23:13

Nope, no counselling. I can't face anymore sitting in waiting rooms just now, ironic really as that's what I need the help with but I'm just mucking through, a couple more months wont do any more harm at this stage, nearly 4 years down the line. Scary

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 15/02/2013 23:21

I was thinking more for him actually xx

RaspberryTipple · 15/02/2013 23:25

I doubt he'd go, I thought maybe for both of us. He's taken it all a bit hard I think but hasn't liked to admit it. I think its hit us how fucking long we've been trying. But hey ho, the end is in sight, we'll have a round of IVF and I think that will be it for us, I really don't think we've got the fight in us to do more than one round. Clomid was stressful enough as it is!

maamalady · 16/02/2013 08:47

Aww, rasp :( Sorry you're finding it so hard, understandable though it is. I can't imagine HOTB asking to avoid sex, I suspect both of us would get quite frustrated quite fast! Fingers crossed for both your sakes that you get back into SFF soon.

Also, without trying to sound like a massive dick, if we could avoid "gay" as a derogatory term, I'd appreciate it.

EuroShagmore · 16/02/2013 09:42

Tipps! It's good to have you back (albeit briefly!). IVF really does take the pressure off. After more than two years of shagging to schedule, it will be amazing to do it for fun again. I've been too scared so far (since before EC), but plan to rugby tackle KFZK into bed later. ;)

It does sound like he could do with some counselling, either alone or as part of a couple. It can't be good for either of you to be in a sexless relationship. I hope the current situation is shortlived.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 16/02/2013 10:16

Morning, quick waves. I admitted my misadventure with the O-stick to SB this morning, which lead to me being laughed at and then some sechsing for fun. I am allowed but too scared to buy and pee on fivers. And now I am spotting. Not diffed then...

Hugs to bugs

Massive well done to the septuplets, norf!

navis176 · 16/02/2013 11:16

I happened to notice that a few pages back you were considering a recruitment drive....do I qualify? I am getting more and more barren (and more and more bitter) with every passing month....

Brief credentials: between 2008-2010 had 3 mmc and bunch of tests, most of which I can no longer remember, took a break, then June 2012-present have so far racked up 1 mmc, 1 referral to another mc clinic and 1 referral to genetic counsellor....

So if I'm a suitable candidate, let me know and I'll dig out the BESHtionnaire...

Northey · 16/02/2013 11:27

Go ahead, punk. Make my day.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 16/02/2013 11:46

I was going to say "" then, but in view of this week's events, stopped myself.

Well, navis you certainly sound more than suitably barren and bitter. I will leave you to find the BESHtionnaire fill it in, and then submit it for our perusal.

You sound ok to me

EuroShagmore · 16/02/2013 12:41

Fresh blood?

Yes, find the BESHTionnaire and let us judge you see it. :)

captainmoll · 16/02/2013 13:21

Aha, Navis, so we meet again, but this time the advantage is mine!!

Soon the Elderberries will be flocking to the BESH in their thousands!!! Mwahahahahaha! Etc.

Wink
captainmoll · 16/02/2013 13:22

Blush STROKES the cat. I'm not that evil..

Northey · 16/02/2013 14:41

Shock moll!

EuroShagmore · 16/02/2013 17:05

Ah, a bit of cat abuse. Just what this fred was lacking. Grin

Right, mission accomplished - I got my oats Wink and we have a kitchen well-stocked with lots of yummy food. All in all, a successful day.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 16/02/2013 18:15

Speaking of cats, we visited a local Maine Coon breeder today and she's put us on her waiting list for her next litter (cat isn't even pregnant yet!). She said as we made the effort to visit her we could have second pick of all the kittens Grin

So newbie, where's your BESHtionnaire?

Grin

I don't like being kept waiting

Northey · 16/02/2013 18:27

Oh well, seeing as we are waiting... How's your temp today, frank?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 16/02/2013 18:32

Came down a tad, but still up overall. TBH I'm thinking about not testing till Weds. I'm nervous about getting a bad result and HWHNN has said he doesn't mind about not being here when I test, so I'm going to hold out until I have to.

EuroShagmore · 16/02/2013 19:23

I think we have abandoned cat acquiring for the time being. Even without current circumstances, we can't work out how to keep our house cool enough. It's a modern house with LOADS of glass everywhere and in the summer it is like a greenhouse - when you come home from work and open the door, a wall of heat hits you. We couldn't possibly keep a cat in that (to say nothing of what it would do to the litter tray), and we were planning on it being an indoor cat. So until we move, we have put the cat plan on hold. And that is some way off. First we have to evict KFZK's piss taking, non-paying tenant, sell his flat and then look at moving.

Northey · 16/02/2013 19:25

Any idea when droid is due?

navis176 · 16/02/2013 20:04

finding and completing BESHtionnaire is taxing my tipsy brain (it is Saturday, so surely afternoon drinking allowed??)

anyhoo, for your perusal:

  1. Do you like gin? (This is compulsory, you must say 'Yes')
    Yes. And any other booze that is to hand [necessary to get through the grimmer moments of life].

  2. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?
    Gold digger. MOF (miserable old f*er) is a whopping 14 years older than me.

  3. Baybee-making - to put a baybee in your tumtum, which hole do you use:
    a) weewee
    b) poopoo
    c) foofoo
    d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

I?ve been going with the traditional approach of c. But it doesn?t seem to work any better than a, b, or d. Though I think I would have to draw the line at praying to the baby Jebus?

  1. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you: a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway. b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

a, obviously, unless you want to be punched yourself.

  1. Is R2D2: a) an adorable robot from Star Wars. b) the source of all evil.

b (but I do love Start Wars, is that allowed??? [inner geek escapes momentarily])

  1. what colour are your walls?
    oh god, moved in with MOF last year and am still trying to get at all the walls so that they can become white?I have never seen a house more full of crap really useful stuff

  2. Number of pets?
    0 ? we spend some of the year overseas, so need to invent some kind of pet timeshare?

  3. Inappropriate (read: weird) crush
    oh dear?.I don?t think I have one?I?m really boring?.er?..I?ll get back to you?.

  4. Lesbian crush?
    Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  5. What are your views on camping?
    If it?s proper middle of nowhere stuff, it?s fun. Or at a festival. But on some organised campsite place ? no thanks.

  6. How much money have you spent on sticks you then urinate on?
    i) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it.
    ii) Over 100 quid
    iii) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks

Ha, I don?t even want to think about adding it up ? I?m going with iii

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 16/02/2013 20:23

Hmmm, well Navis I approve of your BESHtionnaire, particularly your lesbian crush.

It's a yes from me.

Droid is due anytime between now and Tuesday going by previous luteal phases Norf

To be honest I wasn't bothered about the answers.

You had me at hello.
