It is a fact universally acknowledged that a woman in her thirties in possession of a ticking biological clock MUST be in want of a baybee.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

The former thread proved full of sadness and most vexatious disappointments, wherefore we know not :(. Therefore the BESH will be donning their empire dresses and enlisting the assistance of Captain Wentworth and his admirable breeches and Mr Darcy smouldering damply in his transparent white shirt both of whom with their pleasing countenances and sound judgements and enormous fortunes, in short both of whom are everything a young man ought to be in the expectation that happier times may be ahead for the BESH.

I feel your pain, mittens. Last time I got measured the nurse did it 1cm shorter than last time - but 1.5 INCHES is taking the piss!

Oh. Didn't notice she wasn't ttc.

Evening hags. Sorry about the measurements, moll. Making you shorter is just plain cruel. Did you point out that you probably haven't actually shrunk an inch and a half?

I think I have caught plane germs. Which is unsurprising as the brat behind me spent the entire flight doing her best to distribute hers... I've heard a lot of people come down with something post-mc anyway. I think your system just crashes.

As far as I go, plink you're welcome to join, but at your stage I would have found chat about the tests and treatments of the long termers pretty baffling and frankly rather dull.

Ariel not sure if I was included in the dropping in rant. Appreciate why it would piss you off and happy to e told to fuck off if you'd prefer

merk you've not dropped in, you've been with us since last fred and everything :)

Sorry Merk, there's no easy way of saying this:

But you are one of us now

One of us. One of us. One of us

Heh. T'other place has lured me back.

How could I not when there's chat of bugs' muff being thrown around...

Evening hags. I agree with aries about the scaring away of drippers. And merk I cannot believe you thought you'd have to bugger off it must have been a joke.

I used to read long before I qualified on barren or witty stakes. So I know there is lurkers. If they qualify they're welcome. Next fred we'll put BESH back in the title.

Waves from sleepy and still droidless lemon although there may have been a tiny bit of spotting, so tomorrow might well be the end of the headfuck cycle.

I know I snuck in a bit early, I was 29 and have since turned 30 (hideous!) but I figured what I lacked in age I more than made up for in bitterness and barreness.

I'm also going to ring the hospital again this week. It's a month since the 'oh yes you'll get a letter end of the week' phone call. Ffs.

Me too, rasp, I got in at 29 too - I blinded the BESH with a well-formatted BESHtionnaire and Jeremy Clarkson Still, we're both over the threshold now!

How could anyone refuse a girl who fancied JC? I feel sad for you. Have you thought about therapy for that particular affliction? ;)

merk, you spoon! You are a BESH! Idiot.

Any particular reason, bugs? Are you flashing at a dildocam-wielder soon? Or even MrBugs?

euro, bastard child! Could you not whip it with some of that handy legal pink string? I hope you feel better soon.

mimms, the evil (lovely really) nurses did the same to me. They made me get weighed in all my heavy clothes and inexplicably refused tI let me strip naked and have a hurried wee first. I came out heavy as well. It was most unfair.

I wasn't joking... very aware you have all been a lot together and know each other well, plus have no knowledge of the fertility treatments you're going through so nothing helpful to add most of the time except hugs & wine. Hence dipping in and out. However I am always here reading, and will stick around if you make me
Menkulling myself this eve as stupidly (slaps self round head hard) pissed on hundreds of sticks (not fivers, they are about 2p each, thanks amazon) from 7dpo. Faint positives between 8dpo and yesterday (11dpo) yet arctic tonight (12dpo). Obv everyone is right about early testing but it is as if my piss has a mind of its own accord and i CANT STOP DOING IT. Head fuck as my temps are still up despite the droid clearly being about to arrive tomorrow. This is probably the first moment i have lost all hope and feel truly fucking bitter. And to top it off my cat pissed on my mattress. Little fucker. All small in comparison to your recent crappy news but still off to find Mr Darcy & baby penguins

Ps... please tell me muff shaving was a joke??? Do you not end up with stubble??

Eh what, stripey sticks, merk??? And strange territorial cat behaviour... Hmmm.

Arf at mind-of-own piss. And hmmm at high temps and faint positives. HMMM. Do we need a kidney punch intervention, I ask myself?

I am very cack-handed when it comes to pubic grooming. But bugs is all groomed and stuff, so I can well believe she has it all under control.

merk put the sticks AWAY - on top of your wardrobe or something. Then piss on them in a few days time. Here, have a pilchard of patience.

(I never say anything interesting or helpful either, so don't worry about that)

Also, sometimes I shave the bikini area. It doesn't seem to get too stubbly. Once upon a time, I used to wax. Couldn't be arsed now, and don't want a poor waxer to have to touch my fat thighs. I feel sorry enough for the acupuncture lady jabbing the needles in my flabby belly.

cat can be ignored. it started when VVTM's best man stayed between Xmas and New Year and the little shit cat pissed on his bed, twice, while he was in it . We thought that was territorial, but he then progressed to pissing on my bed, once, while i was in it, and subsequently got banned from all bedrooms. That was ages ago and i let them back in there as a treat today but clearly i shall not do that again in a hurry. Having scrubbed the mattress clean i also had to waste an almost full bottle of vodka on the mattress to remove the smell
Meh to stripy sticks. this was 8dpo, they got darker until yesterday when they were faint, and today nada. Just in time to save me pissing on a full blown digital tenner, so silver cloud and all that
