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.

Work, work, work this week, with a bit of meeting up with friends one evening. And then scan on Fri to check progress of lining and maybe start defrosting! Also lots of see sechsing as I have read it is good for blood flow to the uterus

Umm, not sure what see sechsing is, but that's not what I have planned.

Or wanking

Oh God, I just murdered the fred

Guffaws quietly into duvet at Hest's helpful wanking comment

Good luck today Hest, we'll all be with you in spirit, waving our metaphorical pom poms

Good luck Hest, holding on to a toe in support - I'm sure it will all go swimmingly

My mother has upset me so much. I can't believe it. I want to cut all contact. She's appalling

Oh Hest sweetie what has she said? Please don't let her get to you (((hugs)))

Like Bugs says, perhaps going no contact would be the best thing for you. There is no law that says we have to like our family, there is no point in keeping toxic people in your life: they will only poison you. Have you thought about posting over in the Stately Homes thread in Relationships? They may be able to offer you advice on how best to deal with things.

For now, forget her. Focus on yourself and the next few weeks.

Go BESH! I've been lurking and wanted to add some BESH support in particular to BugsieMalone and ShesterHaw.

Great news Bugs

Just a late Good Luck to hest for EC. You can do it. And re; extras, we had no glue, no scratch, no needles. We did have the scope as part of a trial, though. It can work in a no frills funded round. As to your mum, wiser BESH have said it, you need to focus on you now!

YAY for being PUPO en for the frosties bugs. And stop beating yourself up about being at home. It's for anxiety and your body has been through loads as well. So relax and eat more pie. Btw I had pully sensations next to the old womble all through waiting weeks and in first trimester, but Lembie is definitely in the right place. I think it was the gut rearrangement and the shrinking of the Enormous Ovaries...

Ta for the pecan-pie fab.

Thinking of you all, not long til OTD, geek. Hope the scannage went well this morning euro and that you get great results from the harmony tests. Thinking of you and family, cherry.

We are great thanks BugsBunny. Mucho Babydust to you all .

bugs I am glad you are feeling better. That is a great album.

hest I'm sorry your mum has upset you? What did she say? Is no contact an option?

Barbie you have quite possibly my favourite MN name there.

Well, my Harmony bloods have been drawn and scannage done. All was good. It's amazing how much has developed since it was a few cells in a lab 8 weeks ago. You could make out fingers and all sorts. It still doesn't feel real. If the Harmony test and big scan in 2 weeks are ok, I will force myself to start believing that this is happening.

Hurrah Euro, that's great news

Oh and it was my first external scan! I had to restrain myself from whipping my knickers off.

Wowsers Euro, toes and everyfink? That shit seems real to me! So pleased for you

Hest, wot the others said about no contact - she sounds toxic. What happened? And how did EC go today? Come back and have a carp of comfort splayed around your shoulders.

Afternoon Hags! I've been lurking with not much to say so coming through with a small update, nothing near the news we've had this week!

Congrats to the PUPOs! So proud of you, you have done exceedingly well! Calm thoughts and warm fuzzy feelings going your ways (interspersed with more BESHlike arm poundings and back slaps etc)!

Everything in the Hobart Household is going forwards with much menkuling and tears inbetween

They managed to take 15 vials of blood last Friday for tests, got 2 texts today, 1 to say I need a fasting blood test (Menkul Alert: I obviously have Type 2 diabetes ) and another to say 1 test needs to be redone, so more blood letting to occur on the 14th. I will get full results from my GP on Wednesday morning so now anxious about that!

Saw my friends baybee for the first time (2 weeks old) yesterday which was brilliant, I did however burst into tears as soon as I got to hold her, both with happiness and heartbreak , cried all the way home. Thinking back to my first mc I "should" be 7 months gone now and ahead of the curve.

Been to my first Woo Needles session today, cried through most of that! We are concentrating on relaxation rather than ttc as that's what I feel I need, this may change. Then went for a massage, which should have been relaxing but she had really cold hands!

OH will book in for a SA after ovulation.

So am yet again in the waiting waiting waiting game, very boring menkul

Back to work in the morning for the first of three days followed by yet more nights covering for the upduffed
