Ski Sunday music ready, the BESH are Bobsleighing their way through the icy slopes of hope and despair to win their medals

[cherrycoconut]

If you’re over 30, ttc over 12 months and wearing nipple tassels under your snowsuit then this just might be the thread for you - if you can prove yourself bitter and evil enough. We’ll be the judge of that. Don your snowsuit , cowbell ready - fill in the BESHtionnaire and prepare to meet our icy glare. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

He's 50% right

Morning hags!

Good luck with the FET, fizz. I find that much, much better than full-blown IVF.

Keeping stuff crossed for the minibugs. Hope to hear good news on them soon.

When is your next sesh with the dildocam, hest?

Ouch, missH. Go to sleep and eat and drink more. Hope the next attempt at blood letting works out well!

Waves at the others! I am too knackered to stay awake to watch anything... But making notes for in my leave!

Morning Drizz.

Dildocam tomorrow morning. Stabbing this morning stung like a bastard. No idea why!

Good luck today, hags who are Doing Stuff.

Busy day for the BESH!

Hoping for eggscellent news from the clinic Bugs

Good luck with FET Fizz

Hest reward yourself with some chocs

MissH, look after yourself

She said you looked shocking? Did you say "Go fuck yourself"?

Poor tum :(

Hest, that just made me guffaw!

Poor Bugs tum tho I'm exceptionally regular so if I go more than a day without pooing I start getting a little but scared. I've no idea what it must feel like to be properly constipated but imagine it would be awful.

Fab??

missH hope you're feeling more yourself now. Good luck for tomorrow. It's hard to do the fluids and food so early in the morning, but do what you can.

bugs do you get another call today to provide an emby-update, or do you hear nothing now until day 3? I can't remember what my clinic did last time. Sorry about your poorly tum Take it easy, lots of fluids and salty snacks. Could the tablets be contributing to you looking so shocking (thanks, nurse!), or have they confirmed you have OHSS? I'm 7 days past trigger now and I'm only just starting to shed the retained fluid. Lost over a pound in it in the last 24 hours, according to my scales.

fab aren't you POAS today?

Bloody hell I started that post over 45 minutes ago. My potential for distraction today is huge I tell you, huge!

Complain to your HR person Bugs. I thought he'd been told not to contact you?
Also if you're getting anxious why not call the clinic yourself? I think it was Euro whose clinic "forgot" to call her?

WankerBoss is a total arsehole bugs, I'm sure you said you have a designated spoc from OH that isn't him. I'm with GP on this one. Yes it was euro's clinic that "forgot", because its not like it matters much to anyone Hope you manage that big poo, at least. (I ended up in hospital after I had my gallbladder out, as ill as I've ever felt and in extreme pain. Turns out my digestive system had given up and I was horrifically constipated. Worst pain ever.)

fab any POAS news? No pressure...

Call the clinic, bugs, it's better than driving yourself mental with the waiting. And your boss is a colossal dick - seriously, report him to HR for this. It's not an isolated incident, he's been told to back the fuck off, so you'd be entirely justified in lodging a formal complaint. I'd be surprised if he didn't get a disciplinary for his unprofessional behaviour. "People skills" don't come into it - he's been told explicitly "do not mention bugs medical treatment or harass her about returning to work" so he really doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Lots doing well there bugs, how are you feeling?

As I understand it, the riskier twin pregnancies are the ones where they share a placenta. That doesn't happen with non-identical twins, so not a factor with IVF twins. There is a greater chance of premature labour, and labour needing interventions- my friend's OMGIVFTWINZ were born at 33 weeks by C Section because one had stopped growing, they were 3lbs 4oz and 4lb 1oz, but were in hospital for under a fortnight and are perfectly healthy toddlers now. Of course putting two back doesn't mean twins necessarily. Good luck with your decisions and ET

bugs that's a cracking haul you've got there, nice growing embies! You should get a good crop of blasts from that little lot, just perfect for freezing and popping back.

I can't advise on twin risks I'm afraid. I was so desperate (and had already had one perfect-looking day 3 not implant) that I was determined I was having two put back in regardless of day or quality. Oh life, how you mock!

Lots of numbers there Bugsy, and I'm afraid I don't understand it, but by the sounds of things, that's good!

Re twins, my SIL had OMGIVFTWINZ!!!111 and they were born four weeks prem, one of them at four pounds something and one at five pounds something. The little one (girl) was in an incubator for a few days, but they were allowed home after a week, and are now big chunky eight year olds who like football and tennis, and who are very good at reading and writing. SIL was 34 at the time.

She had a bit of a bitch of a pregnancy though, and was anaemic. But then she's a little skinny thing.
