We are Barren. We are Evil, on account of having left procreating until our 30s. We are Selfish, thinking only of careers and money and cars and holidays. And lastly, we are Hags. Welcome to the BESH gin palace. Babydusters and instadiffers need not apply.

Aww fanks girls. The spontaneous nipple dance made me LARF !

Now that i cannot have them.....I could murder a glass of wine and a fag right now. I do believe that is the law of the sod at work.

Wow, massive congrats nokkie. That is such exciting news. Love the triple testing by medics and flickering heart beat. And yay that these things do happen.

Well done on surviving the cut and past manoevre euro. Keeping everything crossed for little scarring. Sorry about the return of fertility stress.

Waves to all of you.

Oh twirling tassles on my big PMT boobs.

evilgiraffe · 08/05/2013 21:22

Holy crap, norks! I never thought I'd actually know one of those! Congratulations and all the luck in the world :)

FriendofDorothy · 08/05/2013 21:33

Congrats Noks. That amazing news!

Nokkie73 · 08/05/2013 21:34

Thank you ! Early days and all but I am truly touched by all the buzzwam activity. All of you have truly extraordinary baps.

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 21:37

Fuck me!!!!! That's the kind of thing you hear about! It must feel like a miracle. Noks, that's quite extraordinary x

hest I would like a bit of nip action before I answer that question please. Tassle on.....dance for me baby.

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 22:10
Blush

I can't dance. I have done something Very Painful to my back and neck.

evilgiraffe · 08/05/2013 22:21

I'll dance on your behalf, Hest.

On that point, can I just quietly say tassels? Not tassles...

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 22:22

Tassel
Tassle

Neither look right.

Bloody hell, Noks, that's ace! This was a natural cycle before IVF, right? Woo bloody hoo!

You're the second one this has happened to on the egg buddies fred - Shazza got updiffed on her downregging cycle!

evilgiraffe · 08/05/2013 22:25

Tassel is right. I'm a little OCD about many things, and spelling is one of them. I think it comes from no-one ever getting my name right until I got married and got a better name

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/05/2013 22:33

Ahh fuck it, I knew it'd have been that got it wrong. Can't have a baby. Can't spell. Feeling less of a human every day >(

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 22:39

Oh Rasp, come 'ere you daft mare

Let me assure you, you ARE human.

Bloody hell I heard the BESH klaxon had gone off! Huge congrats Nok. An actual FCFU!! Grin

evilgiraffe · 08/05/2013 22:47

Don't be daft, rasp, it's (a) not just you, and (b) one of those weird awkward words. Also, I can spell quite well and am pretty barren myself - ergo, no link :)

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/05/2013 22:49

:) I'm such a drama queen

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/05/2013 22:49

What's an FCFU?

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 22:52

I am barren
I have a wonky spine
I get rashes in the sun
My fingers swell up in the sun
I have a mystery allergy which makes my face explode every now and again
I have a large nose
And lastly.....I am ginger.

Beat THAT Grin

It's FUCK YOU FERTILITY CLINIC!

evilgiraffe · 08/05/2013 22:58

My list:
I am barren
I am a lardarse
I have a poor sense of balance
I have cankles

On the whole, Hest might win, but a dickhead heckling from a white van an outside observer might hurl abuse at me first. Sorry, I read that thread about women being yelled at in the street earlier and it gave me THE RAGE. I once got drive-by water-pistolled (I hope it was water) by dicks in a van in Swansea, but thankfully was almost home at that point. I don't know if that's better or worse than verbal abuse.

HesterShaw · 08/05/2013 22:59

Well what to you expect from Swansea?
