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

Definitely some trapped wind in my system too.

HesterShaw · 26/06/2013 22:39

I'm windier than the Roaring Forties.

HesterShaw · 26/06/2013 22:39

And pooey

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 26/06/2013 22:41

It's evenings like these that I'm glad I'm in the house alone. Even the cat has left the room in disgust Blush

My counselling was for general ishoos not fertility ones, but I felt horribly self indulgent whittering on about myself. Also, like others I was hoping for some practical advice not

Morning BESH, hope all are well this morning. I've been hiding this so far, so thought I'd share my chart and ask you all to tie me down and stop me getting my hopes up. I can't bear the disappointment again after getting excited last time, but it sorta looks good doesn't it ?

OP posts:
Northey · 27/06/2013 06:53

Argh! Yes! Are you being strong till tomorrow?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 27/06/2013 06:58

After last time Norf I have to. I got my hopes up so much with that faint line when I tested 2 days before OTD, and I can't go through the emotional crash when the line disappeared the next day again.

I'm trying (not promising!) to hold out till tomorrow, I figure if there is going to be a line I want a strong one, not a "squint and tilt your head to see it" one.

It does look really good. We need the Perch of Patience all right.

Northey · 27/06/2013 07:01

Any other symptoms?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 27/06/2013 07:07

Wind Grin

I have felt sick/tired a few times, but tbh I've had that plenty of times before so I don't think that is reliable.

Boobs feel normal, though the nips are more willing to stand to attention than normal, but they're not tingly or anything.

That's it really. Nothing concrete

Um frank. That is a very interesting chart...

Northey · 27/06/2013 07:13

Is wind a thing? I think it is, isn't it?

evilgiraffe · 27/06/2013 08:00

Good chart, Frank! I agree with your determination to Be Strong and hold out until official test day, though. It's not that far away now anyway :)

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 27/06/2013 08:06

I looked it up, high progesterone can cause wind and bloating, so yup looks like wind is "a thing".

Northey · 27/06/2013 08:08

euro, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling like you have reclaimed your foof a bit?

And twink, when I was very low after second ectopic, my GP suggested cognitive behaviour therapy. I ended up doing shitty head tilt thing instead, but I wonder if CBT might have had more of a system behind it and be more focused on some sort of change.

In my own world, still no droid or anything, but I swear my boobs are bigger. They don't hurt, and the nipples are ordinary enough, but they are just bigger. I have put some weight on, so it is probably just that...

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 27/06/2013 08:15

Hello hags!

That is one very impressive chart frank. Wind is a thing - and was my only thing when I was diffed for quite some time - and I am impressed you're holding of testing til 17dpo!! My IUI OTD was always 16dpo, but we tested ourselves at 15dpo. Well done if you make it til tomorrow and get yourself over here for some kidney poking.

Counselling with a fertility counsellor should deal with the specifics of the situation, so headtilting is just nog cutting it. We dealt mostly with the MC-grief, of which I had bucketloads, and then a little with dealing with the unendingness and being lived by the ferti-shit. She mainly taught me a few sensible ways to deal with the waves of emotions and feelings of hopelessness, which I was using, until I got derailed by the DRing drucks. Last pill last night, waiting for driod, then stimming on day 3 (I might beg for day 2) estimated from July 1st.

Hurrah for redeeming friend draf.

How are you feeling hest, except for pooey?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 27/06/2013 08:45

According to clinic tomorrow should be 16dpo because they expect ov 48 hours after the trigger but I must have been ready to pop as I went somewhere between 24 and 36 hours according to my temps. So I'm a day ahead but sticking to the clinic's dates.

Euro how are you? Are you still off work?

Hest, hope my POAF buddy is ok.

Oh Bugs are you sure you shouldn't go to hospital? Necks are funny things and you shouldn't be lying there in agony.

No point me looking at a chart Frank, wouldn't have a clue what was going on but if everyone else is getting mildly excited then I will too. !!

My meltdown has arrive in rather spectacular fashion. Felt fine this morning until 730 when I got a migraine aura. Made it into work for 8 only to have to come home by 9 due to being sick and having a bad head, tis a weird one though as its bearable, almost like crippling tiredness. So since getting through the door I have sobbed my little heart out and am starting to feel much better for it. Going to have a nap, another cry then hopefully head back to work for an afternoon of everyone telling me I look like shite :)

HesterShaw · 27/06/2013 09:33

Good luck Frank. I think I'm out. Might as well save the fiver and get wasted I reckon :(
