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.

All sounds like a perfectly normal emotional reaction to me euro, it's early so no-one would expect you to feel ready, and you've been through hell to get here so you'd have to be void of all emotion to not be worried at this point. However I'm fully confident that everything will be far better than you dare hope. Which hospital will you be in? . Any idea yet when you'll be called in? I'm toe holding and will be watching out for news. You'll have your little wonder very soon Grin .

eurochick · 14/07/2014 20:21

Thanks Barking. It was supposed to be today, but a 24 weeker was born who needed our NICU cot, so the next possibility is Wednesday, again dependent upon cot availability.

(It's St Thomas', btw, so watch out for me trying to haul myself in the direction of Waterloo and home Wink)

cherrycoconut · 14/07/2014 21:26

Fabby outdoor weekend, shame work has to be so full on. Yawn. Just finishing up for the day after an early start. Still, hitting it hard because I can and the buzz feels good even if it is a bit stressful .

Euro, bless you chicken, I hope you can grit your teeth and get through the other side of this personal hell. Toe holds and cockles for Wednesday, I hope it will all improve once you get to meet centime. Cold comfort for now I'm sure.

TheRainDrops · 14/07/2014 21:35

euro that is my station - I will man the guard!! FX for Wednesday and a super smooth delivery for centime (and you!)

Fabuluce · 14/07/2014 22:32

Euro you're my hero - will be toe holding all the way, cheering and waving cunt bunting when appropriate (whilst stopping any commando escapee rolls where necessary). I can totally understand your fear and anxiety about Centime and there's nothing we can say to help you with that other than to be here with you all the way and after and beyond.

EricaJ · 15/07/2014 08:10

Euro All the best for tomorrow, no wonder you are feeling a bit gaaaahhh, I would be completely bricking it!

Barking Hope you get a BFN today and you can start moving on. I got mine last Friday and I was really chuffed!

barkingtreefrog · 15/07/2014 14:37

Not yet erica! Just called the clinic and it's still 200+. 3.5 weeks now since the bleeding started Hmm.
It's still going down, and I'm still passing occasional clotty bits, so I'm not overly worried, just pissed off it's not over. I'm going on holiday on Saturday and I'll be away for 3 weeks, could have done without this still hanging over me! (they wanted me in for another blood test but I told them I couldn't come in for another 4 weeks - I'm going to have to go to the hospital yet again on the morning of my first day at my new job Angry)

Blue2014 · 15/07/2014 21:09

Just a quick one to wave some cunt bunting at euro before things start kicking off for you. I promise I will never hun or baby dust anyone but I am gonna send much love (blue ducks quickly to avoid a cod clobbering) and to everyone else, I've been sneaking online for a quick read but am not formally back yet so will catch up properly soon. I'm still on my ttc break (which has been so nice) - back with you all in 7 days and counting (see that's the menkul sneaking back already)

cherrycoconut · 15/07/2014 22:14

Euro hoping for a smooth delivery for you and centime tomorrow with nothing that provokes a hands and knees getaway through the streets of London. Be ready Rain!

Barking it sounds like it's going in the right direction but still argh for the continued headfuckery. I hope it sorts itself soon so you can enjoy your holiday and the next clinic apt will be just a formality.

Long time no see Blue, glad to see you're checking up on us and back in the game.

I could seriously kill someone today, it's been one of those days when my best laid plans have gone totally and possibly very publicly tits up. Hmm pass the gin!

Fabuluce · 16/07/2014 05:56

Wishing you the very best of luck today Euro - will be thinking of you all day.

TheRainDrops · 16/07/2014 07:50

Good luck euro . Will be thinking positive thoughts for you and centime all day. Have a gentle shoulder punch, and go for it lady!

barkingtreefrog · 16/07/2014 08:41

It's a big day so I'm going big - have a dolphin of delight euro, you deserve it!

TheRainDrops · 16/07/2014 10:27

Dolphin of delight! Grin

eurochick · 16/07/2014 15:26

Thanks ladies. Postponed again. We were on our way in when we got the call to say there was no cot. I'm not sleeping and my nerves are completely frayed.

barkingtreefrog · 16/07/2014 15:39

Oh ffs euro I'm not surprised you're not sleeping. Have you tried hypnosis? I'm reading a book at the moment about the mind body fertility connection and they bang on about it constantly, tapping into your subconscious in order to make it possible for you to relax when your mind is otherwise going haywire. Some things are just too much for you to cope with without support.

I'm leaving the dolphin of delight at the hospital, guarding the next bed/cot that becomes available.

TheRainDrops · 16/07/2014 17:10

God euro - no bloody wonder. What a rigmarole. I really hope it's sorted for you a.s.a.p, this must be pure torture.

To go with the dolphin of delight guarding the next cot, I've found this rather special item that can be popped in it as a placeholder till centime arrives to claim his/her ESH-let crown!

Omg an actual twat cushion?? No bloody way! I so want one. Right now

Euro fucking hell they are really stringing you along aren't they Confused I echo the hypnotherapy thing, even though NGECFAWT!! Sometimes in emergencies woo is needed and currently this is an emergency situation I reckon. Thinking of you and Centime lots lovely and hoping for the best.

cherrycoconut · 16/07/2014 21:42

Agree this is officially an emergency woo situation, we can declare it so. And anything that would help would be a good thing right now. It's also a big bucket full of wank. I can't believe this euro I'm so sorry you are having to go through this at what should be - and will be in the end - an amazing time. Just awful you have to go through this bit. I'm not surprised you are beside yourself with worry.

In a much more banal parallel am also really lusting after a twat cushion right now.

eurochick · 17/07/2014 06:08

That's brilliant rain.

I'm up at dawn's crack once again to have a v early breakfast so I can be nil by mouth for long enough if they call me in. At least I managed some sleep last night.

Fabuluce · 17/07/2014 07:13

Blimey Euro it's never ending for you isn't it. Am keeping everything crossed (including my toe holding fingers which is confusing me at this time in the morning) that today is the day. So pleased you managed a little sleep at least. So much for being able to have a PMA for a calm birth eh?? Thanks hospital! How's your fish collection bag doing? Room for a couple of sardines for sleep to sneak in??

Fankletastic · 17/07/2014 17:25

Sending positive woo, barracuda of bravery and comfy cushioned twat thoughts to Euro. Hope today is the day (even though I know it's not ideal...but this must be getting infuriating as well as terrifying by now)

Brilliant find on the twat cushion, Rain - a must have methinks. Why did we never think of that? Seems so simple, so necessary and so obvious.

Well Hags, I think I'm suffering from a bout of the ole' menkul. I'm 15+4 (or thereabouts) and last week I had a definite little bump, which was greatly comforting and kinda funny. But it's vanished this week and I just don't feel diffed. My weight has stayed the same this last week instead of creeping up by a lb a week or so, as it had been, and I'm able to get into my jeans again. WTF? A friend told me she bought a doppler for this time in between scans...I'm seriously tempted. But MG thinks it would add to my menkul instead of ease it. Am just trying to get through until my 16 week check up next week, where I hope I'll get to listen to the heartbeat. Any PESH know if they do that at the 16 wk appt?

Chezza do you want that book, love?

Oo yes please Fankle especially for its mystical woo powers. I'll message you my address. Sorry to hear you are with menkul. It's never ending hey? Hope the PESH can give you some reassurance.

Glad you managed some sleep euro

cherrycoconut · 19/07/2014 08:19

Yo Hags just after a little advice from the IVFers among us if you please. The hospital have been in touch to firm up dates. I need to stop my HRT mid August, the day before I head off for a work trip and I'm due in for a scan to check for inactivity the day after I get back in early Sept.

I am Grin to have the start line in sight but a teeny bit nervous about being plunged into the hormonal desert while I'm away. Any sage words or coping strategies you can offer would be vv welcome. That aside, fookin hurrah!! This is really real :)

And our dearest euro has a real baybee who sounds like she's going to be as nails as her mum MADE UP for you guys. have a big squishy twat cushion too euro to help you rest.
