You know the drill by now ...

Rules of Entry - must be over 30, TTC no. 1 for over a year, be suitably evil and Hag like, willing to shout Cunt at the moon on regular occasions, consume extra gin when our fellow hags are unable to, and to get the nipple tassles out for any successful Hag ...

and now we've been trained by the government in our new MI5 roles, we are likely to get a little Ninja on your ass if you babydust round here ...

No admittance without a complete BESHtionnaire - see below.

Amazing news, Fizz!!! So delighted for you!

TheRainDrops · 14/05/2015 09:18

cave droid due tomorrow here, but no realistic prospect of me completing any sort of bfp trifecta.
IVF treatment starts in June, I don't have an F or a B anywhere in my name, waaa!!!

cave we've had three in one thread already!! No more ivf starting until summer now I don't think? I don't think anyone else is anticipating the possibility of a natural diffment, but I could be wrong?! I'd love to be proved wrong on that! Anyone?! Grin

Oh dear, is it wrong that my immediate response to the idea of a natural diffment was Grin ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Grin I forgot these things can happen naturally Shock

Just emailed Mr Ramsey who specialises in improving jizz. Now just quite how to ask Mr B if he's up for going ... (Took me over 2 years to get him to initial spaff test) ???

Blue not at all, I was momentarily confused when bad announced the bfp as I hadn't realised she'd had ivf - took me a while to remember that not everyone needs ivf to get pg.... It's been so long since anyone mentioned a 2ww in any context other than post ivf et, it just didn't occur to me!

no ironidiff here, droid landed full force at bed time. blargh.

Upcoming cycle is last one before our first IVF appt on June 4, although I'll be mid cycle at that point so I guess we've got at least two more shots at a totally impossible FUFC .

EricaJ · 15/05/2015 09:38

Rain Same here, last cycle or so before going for the whole IVF shebang! (probably... if I do not chicken out about having to do it alone, we will see).

So you know, no pressure. Gargh!

CaveMum · 15/05/2015 10:52

Drs appointment done. Got to do the usual round of blood and semen tests before they'll refer me.

Only problem is the GP said they might reject the referral on the grounds we've not been trying long enough. FFS I have known issues!

Ah look at us non diffed hags droiding together, me too!

Cave, that's a farce!

(peers around corner) I'm back hags... I've just popped right back onto the last page and seen all the congrats to fizz, so read the last-but-one page - congratulations fizz! ??
So, what have I missed...? (sheepish)

Hey Coop! Grin Welcome back, arm punches Hag.

Bad is diffed too, Mr Bad put his pee pee in her ho-ha and, lo, a babybee was made. We'd forgotten babybees could be made that way too!

How are things with you hag?

OP posts:
EricaJ · 16/05/2015 10:23

Coop welcome back! How are you?

And Fab is also diffed! A few of us may go for IVF in the summer, I am on my last attempt or two at getting a natural diffment but can't say I am super hopeful.

Otherwise, I still have massive mood swings but the hags are great at giving me fish slaps when I go wa wa wa wa a but too much! :)

barkingtreefrog · 16/05/2015 10:24

Hi, Coop, get reading mate Wink. Let us know when you're ready to take the test to see if you're up to date Grin

All quiet on the BESHly front this weekend hags, how's everyone? Diffed and non diffed?

OP posts:
CaveMum · 17/05/2015 13:02

My parents are currently en route for a visit so I've spent the morning cleaning the house Blush

I'm feeling a bit down after my Drs appointment. If they tell me I've got to wait 2 years before I can get a referral I'll be gutted. It will mean we have to go private as I'll be 36 by then and that might mean even more hoops to jump through.

Plus my body is still messing me about, I've had spotting/very light bleeding for a week now and I really don't know if I should class it as droid and start my cycle count again or what

Blue2014 · 17/05/2015 13:32

Cave it's really shit about the waiting time, I can imagine how frustrated you must be!

I've been googling cheaper private treatment abroad so you and I could always bugger it all and do a quick flit to the Czech Republic! Wink

OP posts:
EricaJ · 17/05/2015 14:28

Cave the not knowing and the waiting is the worst.

This undiffed hag is feeling pretty chilled right now. We did the 'necessary' seksing this week and now we can go back to drinking coffee in companionable silence and worrying about catching up with GoT instead of 'should we have sex tonight and 'get it done' in the morning?'.

Of course, tomorrow the 2ww menkul will start but right now, it's all nice and relaxed chez les Ericas.Brew Cake

barkingtreefrog · 17/05/2015 17:10

cave the lack of control is the most frustrating part of this shit business.

erica well done on the relaxed vibes!

blue I was doing ok this weekend until walking the dog this morning and bumping into the friend I've been avoiding since she gave birth a week after my last due date Sad. I managed to give her a hug and put a hand into the pram without totally bursting into tears (just the wet eyes...) What annoyed me though, was I then took her dog for a longer walk while she carried on to the cafe to meet a friend (the poor dog was only going to get 5 mins) and I told her to call in on her way back home to pick up the dog and the cardigan my Grandma had knitted for the baby (I'd told her about it before, but hadn't managed to bring myself to take it round), and when I handed it to her she just took it from me and put it in the pram. She didn't even look at it! I'm probably overreacting here, but it took a lot for me to give her that cardigan - my Grandma knits the most beautiful baby cardigans but she's now well into her 80s. My fear is that by the time I make her a great grandma (if it ever happens) it'll be too late for her to make any cardigans for my baby. So every time she posts me one for one of my friends I want to keep it safe for my baby. So to give this one away and have no acknowledgement at all - not even a look at it - was very difficult. I even tried to prompt some engagement by telling her the size she'd knitted and saying I hoped it would fit, and mentioning that there was a matching hat. Nothing. Angry Sad
Just needed to let that out...

Anyway, how's everyone else doing?

Sorry barking, I replied in my head but clearly never typed it out!

You are one brave and lovely hag, my gran isn't like that but if she was there is no way I would be nice enough to give cardi over to others! You are nails. I'm sorry she didn't acknowledge it

And well done on the secsing Erica Grin we will miss this month as we are away with the in laws so it's June for us now which is when fertility tests start properly

OP posts:
cooperG · 19/05/2015 07:48

Sorry, I'm ridiculously busy at the minute. Just so happens that droid's due today, not that I'm keeping track or anything...
I'm ok. After I left you (I think it was late January) I really was gone. I went through a couple of weeks of being v tearful, then a couple of weeks of being v angry, and now I'm just ok... I've been discharged from the FC at my hospital (don't know if I'd told you lot that) and if I "want" IVF it has to go through my GP apparently. Hmm
Things with Mr C and me aren't so amazing either, he buries his head in the sand and I'm waiting for it to come out because we need to talk and I'm too tired to do the usual, which is nag until we argue, then he tells me Confused
Grr.

So, congratulations to fab as well! Here's to an uneventful pregnancy.

barking, I would've taken the cardi back from the ungrateful moo!

Glad you're chilled for the month erica, well done Grin

cave, I don't think we've met? Hi Wine

EricaJ · 19/05/2015 09:02

Cooper Excuse the ignorance, what is the FC? Sorry to hear you've had such a rough ride, hag. The BESH are known for being nails, hold in there and have the salmon of strength.

Mr Erica is known for burying his head in the sand now and then, it is beyond frustrating.

CD17 and still reasonably chilled. I think it's because I am pretty sure something 'needs to be done' (maybe the endo is back? who knows) and we will need treatment to get pregnant. You know how it is low hopes = low stress during the 2ww. Writing this while having a massive coffee and a croissant. I really, really can't be bothered to 'act pregnant', it's been way too long.

We will probably start IVF in September so will think about going all 'my body is my temple' around July. Sounds reasonable?
