New balls please! The BESH are hanging out the cunt bunting for Wombledon and saddling up for the Tour de France!

Rules of entry: must be ttc #1 for over a year, be suitably evil and hag-like, and submit your BESHtionnaire for our approval. If you are a baby duster or a hun, this ain't the thread for you.

I've sent a load of pre sorted recycling to Uncle Bulgaria with a note attached for you chez.

Oh, not that kind of womble?

Have a halibut of hope and a toe hold instead. All fingers and toes crossed for the palace of the child being all ready to go.

OMG Barking the signs are fucking awesome... that means today's Freecycle frenzy not only means I can now swing a cat in our garage but it was also high homage to the womble. Genius!

But shit, the only palais I have ever frequented before was for gin...

Running out of the door... but Chez tampons and tears describe it quite well! It's not all gloom and doom, we do lots of fun activities but yes, sometimes it's weird to be talking about how careful you have to be to avoid pregnancy when inside my head I'm screaming 'NOT SO FUCKING EASY FOR ME AARRHRHRHRHHRHHRAHRH'

GOOD LUCK TODAY!!!

Yessssss! Good scannnage news from this morning hags, lining has done its thing, we are passed fine to proceed. All being well with our lovely donor laydee it's drucks to go on Friday and rescan end of the month. Phew-eee!

Hurrah!! Yay for womble working efficiently! exciting times are about to begin...

Erica I am in awe of what you do - good on you girl! It's such important work and vital to empower young women through education in this area. We take so much for granted in this country. I've pretty much always worked for charities and that makes me feel good.

Whoooooooopeeeeeee Chez you're onto the next stage

Briliant stuff Chez!!!! Well done lining!!

Thanks Fankle! I only moved away from corporate stuff when I moved here so we'll see what happens when/if we move back to Europe. It does warm up my little, hard black heart though! :)

^^

Sqqquuuuueeeeeeee!!! ^^ It's all go in the baby temple of Chez!

What a relief. You realise I'm living your ttc journey right now so I can remain safely head in the sand about mine? .

Fanks for the womble wishes and toe holds hags! Really helps to know you're rooting for us.

Bring on Friday; I'm looking forward to getting some oestrogen back on board TBH. No sweats or flushes thank fuck, how lucky do I feel? But just a general malaise of fuddledness and not feeling quite myself that I could do without oh and where did my boobage go?

It's gonna be bit sublime to ridiculous though as I ramp it up to mega dose. Anyone know what the side effects of looaaads of the stuff is? I'm expecting to have norks like Lolo Ferrari. Anything else?!

Good on you Erica, warms the old BESHly cockles to think of you being able to give back like that.

Fuck. Been happily in living life to the full head in the sand mode for the last few weeks since the rawness of the last mc was over, but our miscarriage appointment that was ages in the future has crept up and slapped me in the face and I'm now googling causes of mc again and trying not to cry. Fish slaps needed.

Fuck indeed, deep breaths Barking, may the cod of comfort and the bream of bravery be with you. You are still the tree frog living life to the full. The extra info is for when you are ready for it, not when it's ready for you. Sit tight stop googling for now and see what the apt brings. Is it today?

Arm rubs and toe holds aplenty. It is going to bring up shit that has been happily buried but you're strong and you can do this.

Ta chez, I think you've hit the nail on the proverbial head there, it's bringing up the buried shit. Appointment at 2.30 .

Lobs bucket full of haddock of hope through the door
Quick hello

Good luck for your appointment today Barking. Try to look at it as moving forward despite it bringing up all the upsetting issues you'd managed to put behind you in recent weeks.

Ta for the fish hags, hi merk !
In the waiting room with pg women and screaming babies. Oh, and they're running late. Business as usual then!

Hey Barking,

I know what you mean, i was about to postpone the whole thing a couple of months ago, I just couldn't bear the idea of going to the clinic again.

However, now it's all done & dusted (for the time being at least), I do feel some sort of reliet, even if they couldn't give us any answers.

Good luck!

How you doing barking? Did it go ok?

I'm glad I went Erica, I even managed to totally keep it together, even going through all the details of both mc.
Only took 2 hours to wait to see the nurse, then the doctor, then another nurse, then the receptionist....

Anyway, there was progress of a sort. For the first time ever a doctor agreed that a luteal phase of 7/8 days was not going to help implantation. But then she totally ruined it.
She laboriously went over the 'we don't usually do all these tests after only two miscarriages' and when I pointed out that there was no point doing the tests if we had a third (as we'd probably not ever get pg again so we needed to know if anything was wrong before we used up our options) she asked why I thought we couldn't get pregnant as they hadn't found anything wrong with me and it only takes one egg and one sperm? I could have done her some physical harm at that point but DCW stepped in and asked her if it was that easy why hadn't it happened in almost 3 years of trying? And I pointed out again that I'd only got pregnant both times with help, and I'd already mentioned my concerns about my luteal phase. And she wound her neck in.

Got to go back in a couple of weeks for tests that have to be done more than 12 weeks post mc. Results appointment in 2 months.

After that we need an appointment with the consultant back at the Assisted Conception Unit so that won't be until December (if we're lucky enough to get an appointment within a month) so looks like next IUI will be January at the earliest.

So, back to not ttc for another 2 months. She told us to use condoms while the tests were being done so I didn't get pregnant before the results were back. Oh the irony.

Feeling ok again now, hospital induced menkulness has abated .

Roughscad of respect to you Barking (that is a fish BTW, look it up )
You are a hero for getting through all that especially with the pregnant laydees and the obtuse consultant. Well done on keeping your shit together and sticking your neck out for some answers. Go DCW for having the presence of mind to back you up too. Sounds like a useful apt even if you are now at the mercy of the NHS systems. You're in the process and can go back to not trying with gay abandon until they have some answers for you. I'm glad it's abated the menkul some.

How's everyone else doing?
We just watched bake off and a combo of ROCH's downfall, hunger and an insatiable craving for baked goods, forced me to spectacularly fall off the gluten free wagon. Oopsie. I mean which idiot brings a bag of 6 butter croissants into a butter pastry starved home at that time on a Wednesday evening and expects me to resist? Give me a viable alternative, I ask you!

My next muse is to await a phone call sometime during Thurs/Fri with the instruction to start taking drucks. All being well

OMG OMG OMG fish slaps please hags, we are a go go with the drucks!
I tell you what, this process makes you wait and wait and wait so that you just get cool with the nothingness of treatment from month to month... Then Bam! Suddenly it's all happening and the action kind of takes you by surprise.

Just had to share. As you were as I go back to remembering how to breathe. Next dildocam a week on Monday, egg collection and fertilisation could be that very week. Potholes not withstanding of course.

Too true, it's wait, wait, wait, wait...... wait a bit more...... then GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!

Very glad you're finally on the GO!
Everything crossed!!!

Just popping in to fling a bucket of langoustines over cherry's head - good luck with the drucks! It's busy busy from here.... Fingers crossed for you.

fanking ooo hags! Lovely to see you round these parts winks cheers for popping by. Man I miss all you old guard grads.

Yay for drucks I say Chez - giving that toe an extra big squeeze and a manly arm punch for reassurance so what drucks are you on now? For me it would have been the stims phase but that involved not only plumping of lining (positive affirmation time - warm, plump, receptive lining, and repeat) but the growth of lots of eggs. It mostly involved me feeling pretty good then as my ovaries got bigger and bigger a building urge to lay the damn things before explosion time! So I guess you just get the feeling good bit??
