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.

I will be Desert Orchid.

Fabuluce · 10/02/2014 23:02

Can I be Black Beauty? Every time I say the name I have the feem toon in my head ...(bom bom diddlediddlediddleduddlediddledum, bom bom diddlediddlediddleduddlediddledum) dah daaah, da da da da da da daaah daaaah...

FrankelInFoal · 10/02/2014 23:03

Looks like the feem is chosen!

During the last horsey-feemed fred I was mostly absent due to mcs and relationship ishoos but still lurking loads and in silent solidarity I added a hover note on my MN name that received several Hmm comments from other random posters.

The note said 'Get yer own damn horse'. I was feeling fiesty and angry at the world, so it was my little f-you to anyone who didn't 'know' me...which was basically everyone non-BESH. Grin

This time, I'd like a wild Mustang named Lefty-Loosey, please.

Morning hags and ponies!

Good plan for a fred theme. I can't remember my horsey, was it jolly jumper?

Stern look at bugs, only two sleeps and today you're diffed! Going mental is part of the course, hest. We all do/did. And actually it does not clear much w advancing diffedness. You'll be well looked after, so no need to panic about ectopics... Also, I did none of ZW's prescriptions, woo, placebo and luck come into that, none of which I believed in during my round. Our clinic says, bum bullets, dolichocefaal acid and trying to stay vaguely sane...

Fingers crossed for movement on the DEs, cherry. I have been thinking of you loads! Hope you're holding up.

Sorry about the Blunt Sick Note, geek! Look after yourself and hope you enjoyed your drinks!

How are things w you, fab and fizz?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 11/02/2014 07:12

That was folic acid with predictive text and fat fingers...

And only one sleep... I am thick this morning.

Fabuluce · 11/02/2014 08:05

Morning Driz - do you need to go back to bed for more zzz this morning? How's it going with you now? How far along are you?

Bugs, only one more sleep now - keep strong.

I'm ok, muddling along. House purchase is a trying time - evil bastard at the top in the chain is trying dirty tricks and bullying which adds to the fun. Sigh. Am temping for a week and a half at my old gaff from Friday which should be fun. Feeling a bit strained and fed up with the total lack of getting a baybee in my tum tum. Will it ever happen? Should I just give up and live a happy and fulfilled life without? I'm just so bored with the waiting, hoping, failure cycle.

FizzyFeet · 11/02/2014 08:34

I'm off to the futility clinic for another dildo cam. Fully expecting them to cancel the cycle due to lining issues. I am tempted to give up too, fab - maybe I'll become a crazy cat lady instead Grin

Still lurking. Don't fret re: the cramps Bugs. They've always been one of my earliest diffed-ness symptoms. It's just the embryo(s) burying in and getting comfy.

Bugs, I hate to tell you but no, the menkul never seems to stop!

eurochick · 11/02/2014 10:03

You've seen my posts over the past few weeks, right bugs? I can confirm that the menkul doesn't stop. Blush

Hest how are you doing?

Good luck with scannage fizz.

If we're doing a horsey feme next, I'm going to make mine a skittish unstable mare called Frolicking on Acid. I know f-all about horsies, btw.

ControlGeek · 11/02/2014 10:15

I had a feeling it would bugs, didn't really know what else they could put to be honest. I think it just caught me on an off-moment. HR and my manager's manager are all on board so I'll just make sure HWIETO gives it to my mgr's mgr in person.

cherry that sounds like my experience of a well known chemist chain. Do you have the chance to go elsewhere? My clinic constantly tells me there is a 5 year wait for eggs due to a national shortage, yet a friend of mine was assigned a donor within about 4 months (different area though). There's no consistency. Hope you hear soon.

Faith they won't do any more testing on him because they say it's a combo of diabetes and his age. He displays a lot of the symptoms of low testosterone but I'm not in an area that considers testosterone therapy.

Hest how're the solicitors behaving now? Are things moving again?

Think I'll add Clare Balding's book to my kindle wishlist.

Drizz that is a hooter even for autocorrect!

Rooting for your house move fab. Sorry you're fed up with all the waiting. It would be so much easier if we could have a crystal ball. At least we'd know whether it was worth all the cash and heartache, or if we can reclaim a few lost years for ourselves.

bugs on my last cycle the only time I had strong droidals was before and during my BFPs. Once it had gone to BFN, all cramps vanished. All will be well, today you are diffed.

Apparently my singing is so bad my cat would rather be out in the hammering rain. My horse will be a lustrous black Friesian called Talvalin.

And another epic post. Soz.

MissHobart · 11/02/2014 10:29

I'm not a horsey person really. Confused

I will be My Little Pony - Pinkie Pie.

She is also has Bi-Polar! Grin (seriously!)

HesterShaw · 11/02/2014 11:04

I know nothing of horses other than what I learned off Enid Blyton and Anne Digby.

Years ago we had a boarding school fred. It was hilair! My name was Clarissa Twatt-Smythe.

LadyGoneGaga · 11/02/2014 11:19

Nope, menkul does not end. Sorry. You just menkul about different stuff according to gestation/age. Doesn't stop when they're out either. Motherhood is all about the menkul. Sadly, it's worse if you've had ishoos or a loss - as you are painfully aware of all of the things that could happen. Distraction with other stuff is key for maintenance of shred of remaining sanity.

maamalady · 11/02/2014 11:34

Horses are easy: four legs and a tail and a brain the size of a pea I remember riding one (usually sensible) mare along a beach, when she suddenly dived sideways at speed. Apparently that square foot of sand was going to eat her Hmm I dunno if I'll join the next fred though, I think maybe I don't qualify any more.

So far I've found the best way to squash my menkul is to try to remember that everything is normal. Womble cramps: normal for barrenness, imminent droid, miscarriage, healthy pregnancy. Same goes for giant/painful boobs, sobbing uncontrollably, and nausea. Some people feel baybee movements at 12 weeks, others not until 24 and even then it's sporadic - all normal. Some babies walk and talk when they're quite tiny, for others it takes years - all normal. Accepting that I won't know until it happens is the only way I can deal with it, and barren types like us are at least used to waiting. Not much of a silver lining, I grant you.

Good luck, fizz, everything crossed :)

HesterShaw · 11/02/2014 12:37

God, I wish could have a good poo

Good luck Fizz!

Not long to go now Bugs, take it an hour at a time if you need to. Will you get results instantly or do you have to wait and phone the clinic back?

Hest, remind me of your OTD?
