Glad you managed not to raise suspicion bugs. It's people's natures isn't it to 'fix' the problems they perceive. Natural order of life etc. but it doesn't make it right. I'm lucky in that most of my good friends have no kids and those that do are the very chilled parental variety.

Some of ROCH's family are of the ram it down your throat, best thing I've ever done, you should do it too variety. But that all stopped after my diagnosis thank goodness to be replaced with well meant but irritating sympathy. You can't win!

I saw this the other day which quite made me chuckle sympathy v empathy

G'luck Frank! Hope it's but a sneeze away...

Fabuluce · 09/03/2014 17:35

Oooooh exciting!!!! Good luck Frank!!! Hope the eshlet arrives smoothly GrinGrinGrin

FizzyFeet · 09/03/2014 18:54

Huzzah! Fingers crossed for an easy time for frank

I've had a nice weekend with my sister and topped up my vitamin d levels with some sunshine. HRT started today - hopefully we will be going for transfer in the week of 24 March.

Now tenmonths and maybug, tell us a bit more about yourselves and your storieees.

Who else has been quiet lately? bear? missH?

eurochick · 09/03/2014 19:34

dish the nausea I did get was evening sickness. It would start around 5pm. If I had a carby snack I could just about make it home from work ok. Then I spent the evening laying on the sofa groaning. It lasted till about 5am, then I was ok again when I woke up. And I've never actually puked. Just had horrible nausea (and even now I retch when brushing my teeth).

I've had a lovely weekend. After shooting yesterday, today we went to the Wildlife Photographer Exhibition at the Natural History and then around Hyde Park with some friends and their ultra cute 4 yr old. And then we popped down to see mummyeuro. She's in pain but bearing up ok.

Right, I'm off over to the PESH fred to cheer on frank. Grin

cherrycoconut · 09/03/2014 22:14

Glad to hear mummyeuro is bearing up euro, no more clowns I hope? Sounds like a lovely weekend. Ahh, mine has been bliss too. If only it was a bank holiday tomorrow.

Second Fizz on the lack of chat front. Come on guys tell us more?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 10/03/2014 08:23

Check the PESH fred, if you can bear it, there is news :)

Fabuluce · 10/03/2014 08:45

Morning all

Moving day for me! Bit knackered already as TWH and I went up to the O2 to watch Ellie Goulding. Great gig but it takes so bloody long to get there - 2 hours there and 2 hours back - zzzzz. So now we are just waiting for the keys and then it's all go. Thankfully we are taking a week to move so it won't be so horrific as a normal move although part of me wonders if it might not be easier to get it all done and dusted in one day as at least we would be in straight away! Looking forward to finally being in, even if it's a do-er upper!

I snuck onto the PESH thread illegally to wish Frank all the best :) It did make me feel a bit sad that I don't think I'll ever get into their hallowed halls though.

I'm here, excited for the new ESHlet! Just hoping it's the rest of us soon!

Good Luck with the move Fab - I'm weird in that I LOVE moving house! New start and all that! I've never lived anywhere more than four years till this house and I've got itchy feet! Confused

Nothing to report here, think I OV over the weekend, did it on Wed, Fri and Sat, couldn't be arsed last night but will go one for luck tonight! Annoyingly I'm all prepared for not getting pregnant til June when we go on holiday and to a wedding which looks like massive fun! Lots of late boozy nights! if I'm diffed I'll have to tell family early which I don't want to do and won't be able to drink and will probably need lots of naps more than usual! Hmm The wedding stuff is all late night, the "early" bus being put on to the people back to town from the reception is at 1:30 am Shock . I was looking at the itinerary and if they're not handing out pills over the weekend I'll be dead on my feet anyway! Nevermind if there's a tiny Hobart kicking around! Confused

So of course this will be the month I'm duffed up with the stickiest of eggs Hmm

Oh! Frankel's had a girl foal!

Tenmonthsandcounting · 10/03/2014 12:37

Frantically dodges twat cushions being lobbed form all directions, and slips on prawns all over the floor

Ah Hello May I am also new, from you beshtionarie we look like we are in a similar position (down to the baby replacement dog)

Tom Cruise is a pretty obvious one, he has kind of stuck with me since Cocktail – God how I wanted to be that girl in the waterfall (whoever she was)

MissH Mmmmmm wine, a close second to Gin. One day soon (well ish) I too will be able to drink Gin and wine again and I CANT WAIT.

Fizzy HRT, good luck with that, may you get the peachy skin glow and fabulous lining (and non of the crazy mood swings I get on DR drugs)

Bugs People always want to fix stuff don’t they, but it isn’t really fixing, it is wanting everyone to move on to the same life stage as them I think, so you are in the same boat as them. People shoving their nose is = frustrating. I had a woman at the weekend ask me if I was going to have kids soon……….

Euro Glad to hear your mum is home. Sniggers at idea of you buying a Doppler………although you may come home and find a queue of recently diffed long term ttc waiting for their turn

fankle Larger, oh my god, I was salivating over larger at the Thai restaurant we went to this weekend. (Aware I sound like I have a bit of a drink ishoooo). Why is it that I can often not have a drink without thinking about it, until I am in the middle of an IVF round, and then ALL I want to do is drink!

Dishy Hmmm wine as a social lubricant, it is so necessary. Family get togethers, work networking all of them so much harder while dry.

Cherry That video is so true, especially the ’at least’ example……

Fab Moving is just awful, I vowed last time we moved it was the last!

For those of you who were asking – not much to tell, two and a half years ago I naively stopped taking my pill and thought wouldn’t it be awful if I actually got pregnant before my 30th. A year later I had a bad smear that required treatment and the gynea said ohh you have polycystic ovaries, that is probably why you are taking so long to conceive, I am sure you will be pregnant in 6 months though because you are ovulating. Then MrT had a second spaff test, and we were put straight onto the IVF list due to male factor (his first one was fine so go figure something happened!). waiting list was meant to be many years so decided to do a self funded cycle as soon as possible, (in the middle of totally renovating house so cash was very tight) I got OHSS so no transfer, fet in December failed, now onto NHS cycle. EC was meant to be Wednesday, but is now Friday, as although I have about 30 follies on each side they are not big enough at 17mm so have to wait a couple more days. I have OHSS again I can feel it, so I imagine there will be no transfer this month. Basically nothing dramatic, just grinding through the cycles (or around the carousel).

Hmm do you think I can change it to compulsive shopping? Good to have an excuse for once

Fankletastic · 10/03/2014 16:42

Jeez - such a lot going on in BESHland right now! A new lufly pink ESHlet (congrats Frank), a house move, family stuff, IVF shenanigans, not to mention the standard menkul.

Is it me or does the sunshine almost (almost) take the edge off? Have decided to be less obsessed this cycle. I can say that confidently today as I'm only on CD10 and don't usually ov until day 16...I may need to be reminded of my assertion in 2-3 weeks time. Or next week after my FC appointment. Not sure if I'll do opks this month...I bought some so I probably will, but it's just another reminder and reason to obsess.

I had such a fun-filled weekend so feeling a bit more relaxed in general- gig with a good friend on Friday night...(lager), day out shopping and lunching with another friend (cocktail and wine), then curry and pub with MG in evening (wine and beer) and football match yesterday followed by Sunday roast (wine). Alcohol has been a big feature this weekend Grin - it's all part of my plan to just 'be' and not deny myself every stupid little thing I normally stress over. Within reason.

Fab hope move goes well. New start = exciting! How was Ellie? I quite like her but MK doesn't.
Euro your weekend sounds lovely too. What did you shoot?! Confused
Bugs your brown office does sound miserable. Can you escape out into the sun on lunch break?
MissH YES! That will be the month you get diffed. Sods law. But in the best possible way of course
Ten Sorry to hear about your troubles with IVF, OHSS etc. How big do the follies need to be before EC? I am trying to learn as much as possible as fear we are heading down that road this year (after 2.5 loooonng years of unexplained with one m/c early on in the journey). Fingers crossed for you this round

cherrycoconut · 10/03/2014 22:46

I'm with you Fankle, it may not solve the problems but sunshine does at least make it all a bit better which is very welcome right now.

Squueeee for Frankel and a pink Eshlet

fucking hurrah lady!

I hope they manage to control the OHSS for you ten, that's bollocks news for your cycle. What an extra menkul you could do without.

Nice positive thinking MissH, kipper ready as requested, we're watching your space missus.

eurochick · 11/03/2014 10:16

Fankle, I shoot targets, not cute fluffy things. I'm too soft for that!

MissHobart · 11/03/2014 13:15

Miss H the whole symptoms thing is designed just to fuck with your head. Why we can't just have a simple system like our arses turning blue or our pee turning purple I don't know.

I am so thirsty I could drink a river. I seem to spend my days both thirsty AND desperate for a wee. Gah!
