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.

fizz it's far too soon to be writing off your ovaries! Give them a chance. Winks is right. Cysts come and go and all could be fine by the next scan. And follicle numbers vary from month to month.

Winks how fecking irritating about the admin crap. This is my big bugbear. Admin crap makes an already difficult situation so much tougher. Grrrr.

That's all from me for now BESH. I am just out of a 10 hr meeting and somewhat braindead. And now I have a team dinner. Confused Gah. The team is lovely but what I really need right now is a shoulder massage from KFZK and an early night. Oh well, I'm sure some wine will perk me up.

Thank god - MATV has finally gone out so I can have the laptop and the heating on, thought he was never going to go. I'm in two minds whether to order some internet cheapies and just start peeing for something to do or is it worse to see a negative test every day than just live in denial/blissful unawareness until the big BFN? (can you tell I'm taking the pessimistic approach?)

Drizz, well done on Lembie, everything crossed for you. How you feeling?

10 hr meeting Euro? Jeez, I start to lose the will to live after an hr! Hope the team meal isn't to bad. I can't stand stuff like that, even when the people are nice, all do fake for me.

Sorry about the hospital fuck up winkly, I know from personal experience how shit a small fuck up on their part can make you feel as it it might be small for them but it's massive for us. Twats.

Fizz no good can come of googling - not that I can talk. Do as I say, not as I do and step away from the search engine!

Evil it sounds like a productive dildoing, even if you feel that progress is steady rather than moving forward in leaps and bounds. It's moving along nicely, wont be long now. A good number of eggs building up too! I will definitely be sharing puppy photos when he/she arrives. One of the reasons we've sort of held off is if this works we thought perhaps puppy/new baby might not be such a good idea but come next Saturday I guess we will know and either have a puppy or a baby on the way.

How you feeling anxiety wise bugs?

rasp internet cheapies are in my opinion SHIT. Mine gave me false negatives for about a week when I was diffed. Buy one or two proper ones and wait so there won't be any doubt, is my advice.

I am having my first period in four months and sweet fuck it hurts like a motherfucker. Feminax plus paracetamol is just keeping the edge off it.

CatsCantFlyFast · 19/09/2013 16:12

I'm also a fan of ICs. The lines are faint but visible for me.

RaspberrySnowCone · 19/09/2013 19:14

I have cheap ov tests, not ventured into HPT though. Few more cramps today. Just had a coughing fit and got sharp pains really deep below but guessing I pulled a muscle rather than anything more suspicious.

Oh and according to my chart emberryo should start secreting HCG tomorrow and Saturday.

Morning everyone, hope you're all doing well and looking forward to the weekend.

If anyone is in need of a larf this morning I highly recommend This thread, and it's predecessor which is linked to several times Grin

MyNameIsWinkly · 20/09/2013 10:07

bugs I'm not at work, I'm back in Ireland visiting relatives, exhausting at the best of times, I have a wedding today and (tmi alert) I filled my mooncup in under 2 hours. I literally don't know how I am going to get through today, I want to curl up and cry.

I appear to be in the minority on the ICs, so stock up rasp :)

Morning frank, I love that fred. Hope you're well.

Hi everyone else.

eurochick · 20/09/2013 10:12

rasp I buy my ICs from a site called Access Diagnostics. They are very reliable and deliver quickly.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/09/2013 10:15

Morning hags!

Sorry about the disappointing scan fizz. Wise things have been said by the other hags. Have a hug disguised as a fish slap.

I on the other hand should be pelted with cockles. I am incredibly coldy and spent last night googling whether it can hurt Lembie not if I don't get a ridiculous fever but found to many stories of a cold being the first symptom let's ignore the fact that it started before picking up Lembie.

Rasp, you might be able to get a positive on some form of stick on Sunday, that is 12dpEC. But you can also wait another 10 days or so Wink. You know there is nothing you can do about it now, you have a great chance with your perfect blast, but sadly no guarantees. It is good to have some back-ups in the freezer.

Draf when is the next scan? I hope you get to be EC-ed soon and join us PUPOs (preferably before my droid rocks up).

Sorry you're feeling so bad winks. I found mine post-mc very heavy too but I had some left-over lining to shed. I'd go for the belt and braces approach, so moon cup plus monster pad, so you won't leak through. And plenty of pain killers for the morning, followed by plenty of alcohol in the afternoon.

Waves at the others

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/09/2013 10:17

And on internet cheapies, I used one with mc-diffedness, worked like a treat, but haven't ordered anymore, since it's presuming I get to test, which I am trying to avoid. Not the testing, but the assumption...

Thank you Frank, that thread is SUPERB Grin

Dildocam this morning went okay (four tries to get blood out of me though, OUCH), follicles/lining growing, but slowly. Apparently when you have lots they're often a bit slower, and I wonder if the lower dose is part of that too. Dildocamming again on Monday.

Afternoon all hags. Not looking promising this month as MrKat ( i need to think up a new name for him I know) is working away at the beginning of next week which is exactly when I think I will be ovulating. Perhaps I'll have a longer cycle, who knows.

bugs have you spoken to your doctor about the level of anxiety you are suffering at the moment? The fertility clinic ought to be used to dealing with that sort of thing too and might be able to put you in touch with some help with it.

draf glad you had a good dildocamming session. A bit greedy getting two within a week! Hope the next one is good. All the blood tests I have had wrecked my veins, they used to be able to get a sample from me easily but it is a nightmare now.

winks hope you get through the wedding ok, getting shitfaced might help. I also found my first droid after mc worse than usual both times. Both physically and emotionally of course.

That sounds like a good plan of action bugs. I agree wholeheartedly that you will not be defeated. Of course not!

K&K that sounds like a less than ideal TTC month, maybe write it off and secretly hope for a surprise?

Fingers crossed for good growth on the next camming sesh draf. My fifteen eggs took a while to cook as well, while I normally produce an egg within 12 days, I was stimming for a full two weeks, followed by trigger etc, as a result of there being many and the stims not being too high. Btw I don't think you're greedy at all, have as many camming sessions as you need (I had about four for IVF, pre EC). How low is your dose of stimming? Also after long DRing it can take a while for the ovaries to properly wake up scientific that.

How did you cope with the wedding winks? Thinking of you!

I'll be reading all sorts of less than fashionable publications to try and find euro now. Maybe give a hint where I should search?

evilgiraffe · 20/09/2013 16:32

That's a good point re long DRing, driz, I hadn't thought of that! Dose is 112.5 - so not really really low, but lower than average. You have cheered me up a bit :)

Sounds like a good plan, bugs. Hopefully all those people will be useful!

Hope the wedding has gone alright, twink. If in doubt: more wine. Generally works for me at weddings.

MyNameIsWinkly · 20/09/2013 18:17

THEY ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT THEIR FUCKING KIDS!

FizzyFeet · 20/09/2013 18:30

More wine, Winkly, more wine. Tis the only way.

RaspberrySnowCone · 20/09/2013 18:53

Thoroughly recommend wine Winkly! Last wedding I went to I ended up sat next to the only pregnant woman there. Luckily she was less interested in the baby than me and we mostly talked about roast beef and getting hammered. It was bareable......

Drizz fret not, like I said the other day I googled loads and there were lots of women who's embies survived a heavy cold in the earliest of days. I may test Sunday but realistically I'm going to try and hold out to next Friday night. To be honest I've got such cramps I think I'll be lucky if droid doesn't out me before then.

Evil, sounds like its going well, you'll get some good eggs. Hang in there, it'll soon come around after a long tortuous fucking wait

I've had the rage all day today. I've been a bit worries that I've over done it this week, I've not rushed around much but work was so busy. I think what freaked me out was that I was so busy today I didn't spend most of the day thinking about emberryo and worrying what he was doing, if he's doing anything at all. Feel mildly sick and headachy this today but that maybe the sausage and chips followed by three freddos I had for lunch.

FrankelInFoal · 20/09/2013 20:14

But that's 3 of the major food groups Rasp - meat, potato and chocolate Wink

Keep drinking the wine [Winks]
