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.

Peskipiksi Pesternomi!!!

Thanks all. This has hit me pretty hard. I spent most of Saturday struggling to hold food down so I really thought we had cracked it.

merkin at how many dpo did your pish stick turn?

Bearfacedchic · 27/08/2013 20:16

Yes Winks. Got a positive opk today (although I know these aren't 100% reliable with some conditions), got buckets of ewcm and I can feel it so short of bloods im sure I'm oving now. I'll try to give them a ring tomorrow then. Fanks for the advice.

Euro - huggggsssssssssss x

CatsCantFlyFast · 27/08/2013 20:58

Day12 euro. And I felt nothing, could not have felt less diffed if I tried. Hence going to bed in tears the night before.
When do they tell you to test Euro? I'm not clear on how dpEC compares.
I know I need red carding as I always get people's hopes up, but its not over til you hear her singing. Am willing you to be wrong

eurochick · 27/08/2013 21:30

dpEC=dpo

The official test is 14 dpEC (Friday). I planned to test at 12dpEC (tomorrow) but I had a feeling that it wasn't working out and so wanted to take the sting out of it as tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. So I tested today.

I will test again tomorrow anyway, and then I have the clinic blood test on Friday.

Fizzy and Winks no next apointment yet for me, arrggh! So the waiting begins... this is the worst bit for me. I'm OK when I've got a date in the diary, without it, I'm a bit stressy that things aren't moving forwards quickly enough. OK so it's not a race but we'd all like to win our baybees before we're claiming our pensions, right?

Bear I don't think it's the same for all IVF but donor recipients in the UK have a counselling hoop to jump through because of the added implications. It's part of their HFEA licence aparently. To be fair it was quite a useful sess, she was really nice, practical and for a counsellor there was a distinct lack of head tiltyness though she still had a stare that could bore through your skull.

Needle poking woo for me on Friday booked, whoop!

cherrycoconut · 27/08/2013 23:02

God merkin I hope you're right

Bearfacedchic · 27/08/2013 23:44

Cherry- sorry thicko here must have missed that you are having a donor. All makes a lot more sense now.

Merk- I agree that the seemingly impossible can happen and I really do hope you're right.

RaspberrySnowCone · 28/08/2013 07:29

I watched The Midwives last night. There were a couple of IVF'ers on there, one was 48 and the other was 38 but single so had used donor sperm. She had twins!

Missing loads on here by going to work and an information evening on fostering, scary stuff. So sorry euro. It is just SHIT.

I might be leaving you if we have another woo-fred I think I had my mc on there.

Fancies40Winks · 28/08/2013 08:24

Morning all. I had 2 glasses of wine last night and am feeling decidedly hungover. Alas I am on a mandatory training course that involves a lot of bouncing about. Urgh. AND its on a day off. Double urgh.

Bearfacedchic · 28/08/2013 09:09

Bad times Winks. Hope your day goes quickly. I feel hungover with just two glasses of wine now. I'm such a lightweight these days.

Drizz- I think the woo Fred idea had gone out if the window as so many BESH don't want it. Please stay.

I think GS turned The Midwives on for a second last night and I asked him to turn it off. Made my heart drop like a stone. I'm glad they had good outcomes though.

I dreamt I got pulled over by the police for reckless driving while eating a millionaire's shortbread at the wheel. Very specific. They let me off with a caution. I woke up feeling very relieved. What's that all about then? I've never been pulled over or anything like that.

Fancies40Winks · 28/08/2013 11:18

Me too now bear. Crazy dream, makes me want millionaire shortbread. No idea what it means though.

Anyone think going to the fertility show might be worthwhile?

Bearfacedchic · 28/08/2013 11:34

Hags, you have inspired me to try acupuncture. I have rung a local lady I like the look of (!). Found her on the British Acupuncture Council website and she's round the corner to me. I figured it can't hurt. I also read this which I thought was useful. Just out of interest, how much do you think I should expect to pay for a session?

Will have a look at your link later Winks.

I pay £50 a time (London).

cherrycoconut · 28/08/2013 17:16

Wow driz an evening on fostering sounds enlightening and open minded - are you considering this in the mixed bag of options? I'd cautiously like to research adoption just to know what the lie of the land looks like though ROCH would take some convincing and would at this stage rather get a dog

Lets not have a whole fred but whisper about our woo instead so as not to invoke the no good demons. Maybe that's what your weird dreams are trying to tell you bear. Invoke the woo but shhh, don't shout about it!

My needle woo lady is £40

cherrycoconut · 28/08/2013 17:32

How are you feeling today euro?

Bearfacedchic · 28/08/2013 21:30

Okay - thank. Quite varied prices, but I guess different treatments and different areas. At least I know roughly what I'm looking at forking out. She hasn't called me back yet anyway.

Bearfacedchic · 28/08/2013 21:31

*thanks Blush

Bearfacedchic · 29/08/2013 08:19

Oh no. I appear to have killed the fred!
