Expecto Patronum

If you are you over 30 and have been ttc for over 12 months, are witch like or even better a complete hag and willing to abuse your powers of wizardry to conjure up gin by the bucket load, then fill out the Beshionnaire and join us if you dare in our battle against BESH curse.

Instadiffers and baby dusters will be turned into frogs and used in a potion.

Morning all! Burghley yesterday was fab - check out the BBC today for highlights of the cross-country and live showjumping...

FrankelInFoal · 08/09/2013 09:11

I do wish they'd show the cross-country live again Sad. Glad you had a good day though Draf

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 12:21

Eeeeek rasp what a big week coming up. Which bit is making you most afraid? Or is it the enormity of everything?

I've had a very up and down weekend. Nice to see some people I haven't seen for a long time. But got ridiculously upset because each of them separately said things like "oh your house is so quiet" and all I could think was, yeah, empty and barren more like. Today I feel further away from having a baby than I did 6 months ago, an I thought I was rock bottom then. And to top it off, I've quit Facebook because of too many baby related posts - and then I glance at GFBW's iPad to see yet another newborn. Gah!

cherrycoconut · 08/09/2013 14:33

Thanks everyone for your awesome BESHness you guys are amazing.

Rasp wow, it's all happening for you... Exciting stuff, thems tripple egg omlettes have done the trick. Give us a buzzwam shimmy.

Glad you had a good time at Burghley draf. I hope it isn't another antipodean win but bloody hell they're on fire just now.

Fizzy that's rough, sorry you're feeling down. Proffers sturgeon of solidarity.

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 14:45

Ah, the whole thing is just a bit scary. Ill be glad when it's all done this time next week.

In other news, we have decided to get a staffy dog. Haven't broken it to the landlords yet but if they turn their nose up I'm going to cry, stamp my feet and throw the guilt right at them :)

Sorry for shitness fizz. I always seem to find darker depths just when I think I've hit the bottom of the pit. Then, something happens to lighten the mood and I start to feel a bit better. It's a bit of a roller coaster this fertility journey though. Your friend making that comment may very well have been jealous of the peacefulness.

Cherry did you try the berry/banana omlette?

OP posts:
cherrycoconut · 08/09/2013 15:01

Not yet Rasp I've had a couple of savoury ones for lunch but it hasn't yet fitted into my breakfast plans to try. We have a ton of yummy free range eggs ATM though so I'm thinking I should.

I'm not meant to eat nanas on my funny hormone diet though so I'm wondering what I could replace that with ignoring the fact I broke my glue freeness and ate a slice of toast with bacon and had a capuccino this morning (should also avoid caffeine, pork, gluten, wheat etc. etc. but OMG it was divine!!

A dog is always a good idea. I'd love one, ROCH is being slowly persuaded! Are you feeling better now?

CairngormsClydesdale · 08/09/2013 15:21

Paleo homlette fans - try almond flour + egg/banana with blueberries and a dollop of mascarpone if you dare . Pure Delish.

10 mins to BBC coverage.

Someone asked - big move = mainland EU to remote scottish island. I am currently worrying about how to get a horse there.

eurochick · 08/09/2013 16:48

Blimey, that is a big move!

Clyde what remote island? I lived on one up there for a few years.

Rasp I've everything crossed for you. Are you planning on working on EC & ET days?

cherrycoconut · 08/09/2013 18:22

Urgh, I rest my case, a NZ whitewash! I guess this must mean Paget is on for the rolex grand slam and Kentucky next year too. Nice lad but come on the Brits, a bit sparse on results just now.

Omelette sounds good Clyde I was also going to try popping a few oats in there too, not true paleo but one of the few cereals I can have. As for the move, wowzers, brave lady! Tough and idyllic all in one.

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 18:31

Thanks Jeff. Won't be working in either day or the following day either. Both procedures are before 9am but my boss has already said I can take two days for each.

OP posts:
JethroTull · 08/09/2013 18:43

Good plan Rasp. I was ok for EC but found the ET quite overwhelming & was quite emotional afterwards. Just came home & slept!

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 18:47

That's my plan, not going to be too active at anything much over the next few weeks!

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 08/09/2013 19:06

Well, at least I like Jock Paget. Although I admire Andrew Nicholson's skill as a horseman, he's a grumpy fucker. And he stole Fox-Pitt's wife!

Good luck rasp. It's so weird that I started stabbing way before you but you get EC/ET well before me! I have scan/bloods on Tuesday so hopefully start stimming on Weds.

I like Staffies, they're often very friendly and there are lots in shelters. Just make sure to train it within an inch of its life - all dogs should be well-behaved, and especially so when they have such powerful jaws. Makes life much happier for the dog, I think.

FrankelInFoal · 08/09/2013 19:13

Jock Paget really has come from nowhere - never jumped a fence till he was 18? Shock

Good luck with triggering ths evening rasp

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 19:29

It's all happened so much faster than I had anticipated Evil, it really has. We love staffies, haven't ever met one that wasn't lovely but you are definitely right about the training.

Thanks Frank! Been watching a bit of burghley today! Get me :)

God MATV seems so unhappy, he doesn't want to talk, if I try and talk he just sighs and says he's fine or tells me to leave him alone and he's so stressed. This is horrible. I just want things to go back to the way they were. :(

OP posts:
eurochick · 08/09/2013 20:22

I'm in the same state as MATV. I just can't bounce back from this one. And I can't remember feeling this down ever when I wasn't on artificial hormones. I am just completely mizz. And very grumpy. But mostly just sad.

I want my life back. I was happy before we embarked upon Project Baybee.

RaspberrySnowCone · 08/09/2013 20:38

Things were happier before project baby. I wish we could wipe out the last few years. Sorry you're feeling mizz too Euro. There are no words, it shouldn't be like this, having a baby should not be like this at all.
