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.

Stupid period arrived. Isn't holiday sex supposed to get you upduffed??? Seriously, you don't even want to know how bloody obsessed I have been with getting spaff in the right places and for what?? Stupid fucking thing (I don't know what thing but something needs to get my rage)

I'm so so so so tired of this shit. Where is my baby?!! Where, dammit??

Ok, then let project lick on a stick commence (and I'm gonna be adding some turkey basting into the process this time round)

Fucking shitty shit shit ness Angry

(Ps, barking -does the gluten free pasta taste reasonable?)

Blue2014 · 02/10/2014 19:44

Oh and bugs - I'm proud of you. Fuck this shit that says we are supposed to be polite about it all. Fuck it.

cherrycoconut · 02/10/2014 21:41

Blue I'm fucking sweary mad on your behalf that's it all gone to shit this month like that. Tis bollocks, all of it.

Good tactic Barking, well silenced, sounds like it worked a treat!

I am very late to the gin party but good effort Fab, sounds divine.

Me, I'm just about holding it together. In the very week I should be majoring on feeling zen like I've had the shit from hell to deal with at work. Feeling very frazzled and dread to think of how cortisol saturated my poor systems are. Dammit.

Plus the IVF menkul is swinging in and out like a giant wrecking ball at the minute to add to the fun factory. I had to bolt to the laydees and give myself a serious talking to at work this morning to get a handle on it. For fucks sake, when did this shit get so real?!

Still, I'm pulling this back. Left work at 5 today (sodding miracle, the last three nights I've worked 'til 10), chilled out with my horse who was a total legend, saw my bestie, ROCH cooked tea, off to bed in a minute.

We're getting to the business end too, donor EC tomorrow, ROCH in as well to jizz in his pot - he's having collywobbles about that. Transfer next Monday or Wednesday. Wish us luck!

HesterShaw · 02/10/2014 22:39

Er...hello.

GOOD LUCK CHERRY.

That is all

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

cherrycoconut · 02/10/2014 22:45

Hest, thanks DUDE! How ya been? Fab to see you round these parts. Miss you hag x

HesterShaw · 02/10/2014 22:47

I just popped in for the first time in many many months and thought "The BESH are quiet." And then I saw your post. Good luck. Crossing everything for you. You deserve some good things.

HesterShaw · 02/10/2014 22:48

Oh and I'm fine. Jogging along, you know. Bit sad this week. It should have been my baybee too in the next few weeks. Baybees plural actually.

Fabuluce · 02/10/2014 23:12

Hest!! So lovely of you to pop by Smile hope all is good with you in the land if reality and you have been able to settle down into a world with no ttc in it. One where booze and naughty things can live and you can frolic and flick the v's whenever you need to!

The first year anniversary is hard. Don't beat yourself up about it and don't try to avoid it. Just let it happen, have a hole at the moon and you'll find you can move on. I'm coming up to toe year anniversary for mine and thankfully we've just booked a holiday so I plan to get drunk in a beach drinking cocktails to celebrate. Fuck you womble!!! Grin

COW cherry!! Don't worry about the stress - that's more of a concern for eggs not womble growth I think - you'll be fine. Only a few days left until it's serious menkul time! Exciting!!

Bugs. Do not apologise. You've won your baybee fair and square and are in love. It's all goodSmile

Apols for dreadful spelling last night - was posting v tired. I meant howl at the moon and two year anniversary. Eejit.

barkingtreefrog · 03/10/2014 07:07

You're ruining the illusion fab, I could see you in a space suit with spade, furiously digging a hole in the moon as an anger release Grin .

Hey, bugs! Hope all is well now reality is here!! Smile

Blue the wheat free pasta is ok. I'm not going to lie and say it's amazing, but it's an adequate substitute! Sorry the droid arrived Sad . Fuck it and have some gin. Or some rosé, as I was drinking last night. Not usually my drink of choice but there were 12 of us out for a meal and only 3 of us drinking! (everyone else was driving) So I figured a bit of rosé with my Vietnamese food was better than downing the gins....

cherry don't stress about the stress, you'll just get more stressed and it's not going to affect anything other than your state of mind. It's a seriously menkul process to be going through, just hold on tight to the handlebars, this particular bit of the rollercoaster will be slowing down soon Wink .

cherrycoconut · 03/10/2014 07:09

You guys are the best. Wise words Fab, fish to all! OK I must do some yoga this morning to help me get through today, catch you later, hopefully with some good stuff to update on. I feel a downward dog coming on. Have to make poor stressed out ROCH laugh somehow!

cherrycoconut · 03/10/2014 07:12

Cross post... And you too Barking OK, gotta go, there's a facade of normality to keep up here

Fabuluce · 03/10/2014 08:30

Chez I can't believe I haven't thought about this before but my cousin hit prem ov failure at 18 and didn't believe she'd ever win her baybee. She was one of the first batch of people to do fertility drugs - I'm assuming it was some kind of clomid that they gave her (don't actually know all the deets I'm afraid). Anyhoo she got a baybee. They thought let's try for another...they got quads!!! All healthy and now 38 years old! Anyway all I'm saying is, you never know what's around the corner, it might seem like there's no possibilities and then from somewhere a little ray of light shines through. I think this is your moment chez Smile power high five and a whoop of hell yeeeah!

TheOriginalWinkly · 03/10/2014 16:31

Don't grasp for woo cherry, I'll have to hit you with an anti-woo stick Wink Don't stress about stressing, and GOOD LUCK!

(Hi hest )

cherrycoconut · 03/10/2014 23:49

Quadz! what a story Fab! The world is full of amazing miracles, just hoping I can have one too. My AMH was too low for them to give me clomid sweeties but they probably didn't have DE back then as a next step.

OMG threatened with the wrath of the anti-woo stick, brilliant Winks. A bit of covert woo on the side is OK though right? We all know nothing good will ever come of a woo fred of course. ahem. As you were hags.

Soo, a stressful day here for poor ROCH but the deed is done never heard the frigging last of it, don't understand how a wank can really be so traumatic but had a lovely evening with friends. Indulged in prawns in my Chinese takeaway and Prosecco to celebrate, also in the hope these things are going to be off the menu soon.

Took the first of the delightful bum bullets no one said IVF would be quite SO glamorous.

Feeling a bit like 'what will be will be now' while we wait for a call tomorrow morning to tell us what's going on and how we're looking. Hoping the chilled outness lasts me through.

TheOriginalWinkly · 04/10/2014 09:41

Hope the call brings good news cherry. I have been known to indulge in some covert woo, acupuncture in particular was highly effective at relieving me of my money with nothing to show for it Grin

cherrycoconut · 04/10/2014 11:32

Oh yep, on the acupuncture too, but partly because my acu lady is a good friend and just the support and the telling is massive therapy in itself. OK I'm chucking whatever I can get at this

Good news this morning from FC hags, we're cooking on gas! We got 10 eggs from our lovely laydee, 9 were mature enough for ICSI and are nestled into the embryoscope as we speak. Of these 8 have definitely fertilised and 1 is doing 'something' but lagging behind a bit. Cue ROCH strutting about like a stallion after the stellar performance of his swimmers.

So, waaaay above our expectations and we're headed for transfer on Wednesday. Eeeek!

TheOriginalWinkly · 04/10/2014 12:44

Eight is fan-bloody-tastic cherry! And IOTO after all :) fx for Wednesday.

Brilliant news Chez! FX for Weds SmileSmileSmile

Fabuluce · 04/10/2014 14:18

Does that mean they're definitely aiming for a blast implantation then if they're taking you to day 5? That's awesome Smile

barkingtreefrog · 04/10/2014 17:49

Brilliant cherry!!!

I'm at a wedding, although one could be forgiven for thinking it was a creche. Didn't hear a bloody word of the ceremony due to the numbers of screaming infants, and now getting very, very pissed as a coping strategy.... that isn't working.

Blue2014 · 04/10/2014 19:08

Cherry ,eeeeeeeekGrin (sorry I wanted a much cooler response than that but that's all I have)

Barking, oh my god I hate this group of people you know - I think you may genuinely be in hell. Feign extreme drunkness and sneak out? Come watch X factor on the sofa with me (and my gin - although that keeps interestingly autocorrecting to 'me and my gun' - seems my phone doesn't like your wedding group either)

cherrycoconut · 04/10/2014 19:58

Thanking you kindly hags, such relief after the stresses of the last couple of days to get a temporary oasis of respite from the menkul. I'm sure it will bite me on the ass again soon but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Yup, booked in to go straight to blast Fab. Is that normal to make the decision so soon?

Bugs how's our newest CRESH member doing? Hope life with a newborn isn't pushing you too hard? I love the acu, going on Sun and Tue this week to set me up for transfer. Are you getting any to help your recovery? Heard it can be very healing.

Barking what a total nightmare, sounds like pain of the utmost proportions. What Blue said... Arf at Blue, to kool for skool :)
