Welcome to the BESH plumbing thread, where we have blocked pipes, dirty u-bends and leaks aplenty.

Newbies are welcome to seek out the BESHtionnaire submit highly inflated quotes for consideration. Instadiffers will be massively overcharged and sent packing.

Hmmm, this job is gonna cost a bit Wink

Oh yes and grrrr at the off on my jols period Twink.

Bearfacedchic · 29/06/2013 18:29

Oh I totally forgot to say, great new name Bugs.

Bearfacedchic · 29/06/2013 18:32

Btw I understand that it's just referred to as so-called 'skinny PCOS' Frank, not that you necessarily have to be skinny to have it. Ugh, getting myself all in a muddle with expression tonight. Must be the Wine

I'm being taken very seriously by some over there aren't I Euro!!?

eurozammo · 29/06/2013 18:40

I'm similar to twink, bear. I was diagnosed as a teenager on the basis of a small patch of facial hair that triggered investigations. However on all my monitored cycles I have oved and about 2 years ago, a consultant described my ovaries as "multicycstic" now they are completely normal. I seem to have grown out of it.

I've never been overweight, btw. In fact, until a couple of years ago I was towards the lower end of normal BMI. Married life has fattened me up a bit. :)

The key diagnostic blood test is the day 2/3 one - you need to compare LH and FSH at that point. And then see whether you actually ov via scans/day 21 test.

eurozammo · 29/06/2013 19:15

rasp I'm confused (not unusual).

RaspberrySnowCone · 29/06/2013 19:18

The thread I started in chat, the one lady seems to be taking it a bit seriously! I'm sure whenever anyone suggests that their other half does anything less than worships them constantly or raises there voice they must be a wife beating satan creature :/

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 29/06/2013 19:57

Yay for the awesomeness of cake and The Man appreciation, twink. I fancy cake now. But SB is on desert - which are strawberries - duty. Oh, and I want my period too. Before half 11 tomorrow (so I can have my scan on Monday instead of missing my first meeting of the day on Tuesday).

Hurrah for the growing and smiling faithlet and for spending time in the sun with all three of you.

I know nothing about PCOS bear, so follow the other hags' advice. I do know that a bit of excess hair can also be indicative of nothing at all Wink.

Am still really pleased about your win frank. Did you seem to have a dodgy LP or am I confusing you with another stabby PCOS-er in my acquaintance? In any case hurrah, also for random food. And for enlightening the Man on The World of Early Pregnancy.

eurozammo · 29/06/2013 20:22

OIC, fanks.

I'm glad the faithlet is growing well. She's a cutie. :)

I think I might have made some headway with my mum. She said something about not realising that I was going through IVF. I said I didn't think she agreed with it so hadn't mentioned, and she sort of looked embarrassed and said it wasn't up to her. I took the opportunity to explain the process to her and told her all about natural IVF. She seemed more at ease and said one thing that had been worrying her was me having to pump myself full of drugs, so I told we had started down that route, it had gone badly, so we were going for the old fashioned no drug kind, and she seemed reassured.

I have meringues in the oven. I'm not sure they will be a huge success though. I think I might have overwhipped them. Never mind - it was the first attempt of the year and I am sure they will get eaten.

I use golden caster sugar, bugs. That usually turns them a lovely colour, and they come out nice and chewy. We have some strawbs in the fridge. Yummerz.

Didn't see it anyway Frank. Wink

Meringues sound yum. I just made a gorge beef Rendsng curry. Explained to GS about possible PCOS and he was totally unphased which makes me feel happy, although I know it isn't to be taken lightly.

Thanks for the advice f

Bearfacedchic · 29/06/2013 21:46

Gah stoopid thumbs! Thanks for the advice. It's good in a way to know there are possibly others like me, but as you said drizz, it might be nothing. GS thinks we should edit until referral anyway as I've had such an underwhelming response from GP.

Glad you're finding a way to talk to Euromum, Euro. It helps when parents are understanding at least a little bit. It's good she's concerned for your well being.

Bearfacedchic · 29/06/2013 21:47

*wait , not edit. Man, too much Wine.

eurozammo · 29/06/2013 23:23

Thanks bear. This is the first time she hasn't changed the subject immediately when I broached the subject. It was making me really sad, as we've always been close. It's progress.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 30/06/2013 08:58

Morning hags!

Hurrah for progress with the euro-mum. It would be great to have her support, and worrying about you and drucks clearly is not an unreasonable reaction, changing the subject when you broach it is.

I am up and have been awake for ages because SB set the alarm clock for hideously early o'clock, because he decided he needed to play squash, about now, on a Sunday, weird man...

Hurrah for fat fingers from too much drink bear. And in my experience GPs don't know anything my GP suggested I should just get diffed when I asked for a counselling referral because of fertility issues, well thanks, that was helpfu; in his defence he was good with the MC

What shall I do this Sunday morning? Wake up a friend and force them to have coffee (even though I am dosed up on paracetamol already as the headaches are still here).

eurozammo · 30/06/2013 09:03

Does anyone else have a bunch of adverts for plumbing services showing up there ^?

Do you think there is a group of men waiting in the wings with their big tools to assist us? One in particular is advertising a "friendly" service. What do you think they are trying to say?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 30/06/2013 09:20

I've got them too euro Grin

OP posts:
eurozammo · 30/06/2013 09:22

Heh!

How are you feeling? Is it sinking in yet?

RaspberrySnowCone · 30/06/2013 09:36

I have an advert for Abudhabi :/

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 30/06/2013 09:36

No offers for tools and friendly service here. I am perturbed or have better add-blockers.

Are you feeling sick yet, frank? Or at least diffed?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 30/06/2013 09:36

Feeling a bit ropey this morning, but not sure if it is related to being pregnant (can't get used to saying that!). I think it's sinking in but I'm not sure I will believe it until someone else confirms it.

I've picked up the number of the local midwife team so I will call them next week to make a booking in appointment, apparently the local GP surgeries don't have anything to do with pregnancy services any more.
