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 ...

No admittance without a complete BESHtionnaire - see below.

Just popping in to wave some pom-poms and join the chant of IOTO! We only had 5 fertilised and 2 made it to day 3 before they were transferred. Quality not quantity! And your lining is excellent at 10mm so a great cushiony place to nestle.

Blue2014 · 16/03/2016 07:40

Thanks CRESH - lovely to see you, hope all is going well. Monster munch are an excellent choice! And thanks for my IOTO chant.

Erica - God what a horrible wait and situation. There feels like no easy outcome, an easy solution would be amazing but at what cost of heartbreak.

Barking - still thinking of you with the shitty stabbing.

Blue, Barking, how is it going, hags? Thinking of you both a lot this week.

My hysto is so far scheduled for Thursday next week... but since my cycle is still all over the place, we may have to reschedule. I hope not though. I am all psyched up, taking a step by step approach and eating all the cakes, trying to restrain on the wine

EricaJ · 17/03/2016 10:57

Not started IVF yet and will have to request time off work already, Monday for a scan to make sure that the insides are ready for hysto (any tips to bring AF on over the week end so I don't have to do it? Never thought I would ask this!) and Thursday for the hysto.

My boss is lovely and aware of my history but still...

EricaJ · 17/03/2016 10:57

I am so fucking resentful us BESH have to go through all this.

Blue2014 · 17/03/2016 12:19

One 7 cell, one 8 cells (aiming for between 6-10). Egg transfer still planned for Saturday. Honestly the whole thing makes me sick with nerves, I hate that we have to go through it too Erica. I've started with the Fanjo bullets, they make me bloated and needing to fart all the time. My Fanjo is leaking a white left-over tablet gunk. If IVF doesn't work for us there is no way I will ever conceive naturally as there is no way Mr B will ever want to sechs me again!

I'm glad your manager is supportive Erica but it's still shit isn't it. No instadiffer ever had to tell their manager about trying to conceive ("can I have Friday afternoon off, I need to shag my man?") it's all madness. Thinking of you Hag.

EricaJ · 17/03/2016 12:45

So one 7 and one 8 is good news, right???? Sorry I am a bit misinformed... it is the OSTRICH effect!

I know. How anyone goes through this infertility crap and still fancy their partner (talking about the laydeez too... all that awkward shagging!!)... it is a fucking miracle.

Blue2014 · 17/03/2016 13:30

Seems to be, I had no clue either I'm literally making this shit up as I go alone. Clinic said "yes is good, is fine!" Until i badgered for extra info. Google my new best friend also says its fine. Who knows with this stuff, it could go tits up at any time!

I would still gladly do Mr B, I would just like to borrow another non leaking body to do it with Hmm

Blue that sounds all good! Thumbs up!

Please AF! For once in your life do not be late and show up this week end so I can get with my life and avoid dildo cam on Monday morning?

Please? who am I kidding, this fucker never does what is meant to do

Blue2014 · 17/03/2016 14:29

Come on Erica's droid ... It's a lovely world out here, come join us ...... (I was about to add a wine icon but realised it then looked a little too mooncuppy to be appropriate)

OP posts:
EricaJ · 17/03/2016 14:45

That is an idea... maybe getting really drunk will bring it??? I like this idea! Yes, right?

God, the amount of times I got the droid and I wondered (in self hating lunatic kind of way) if maybe I had briefly been diffed but I had ruined it all by having a couple of glasses of wine during the tww... sighs forever.

Blue2014 · 17/03/2016 15:44

Nah fuck that, lots of drunk people have babies just fine after being pissed in the early stages. Wine hasn't done this to you x

OP posts:
EricaJ · 17/03/2016 16:09

Thanks Blue. I feel like such a mug sometimes... does not happen all the time but when I am having a very low moment I start wondering what have I done wrong and blaming myself... as if this crap was not bad enough!

Dude, Saturday is soon! You must be so nervous but also looking forward to it, somehow, get it done..?

Blue2014 · 17/03/2016 16:48

I know our brains do that to us sometimes but in our sane moments we know drinking wine/not drinking wine, exercising/not exercising etc etc didn't do this to us.

Dunno how I feel about Saturday really ... I can't help but believe things will go wrong so .... I dunno. But yeah, I'm just currently counting down each of the days until our next bit of news . On the plus side we've planned fancy hotel breakfast for Sunday morning Smile

Blue I have everything crossed for you tomorrow, what time are you in?

Erica there is a pressure point on your foot that you can use to speed the droid up, my acupuncture lady told me about it. I tried googling it for you but it kept telling me how to bring on labour Confused. Raspberry leaf tea might be worth a try as well. Fingers crossed it shows up.
Good news on the hysteroscopy, a few women on the RMC thread have had one, and those with issues had them sorted there and then. Might be worth asking about it?

Sorry I've been AWOL, been a bit busy and knackered. Prednisolone is giving me bad insomnia as usual. Finally in our new house!!!! Feels weird, like I can't believe we're really living here.

On IVF news, I'm in for egg collection today. Gulp. Was all geared up for Monday so was a bit taken aback after Wednesday's scan when she told me to take my trigger. Which DCW had taken out of the fridge and put in the coolbox for the move. And we didn't know where the cool box was and it was now 24 hours later. So that meant I had to go back to the clinic after work to pick up another prescription and then drive round trying to find a pharmacy that had it in stock Angry.

At last scan I had 5 follicles that could end up being about the right size. Started with 7 on each side but the little ones didn't get a spurt on so they got left behind.

Blue2014 · 18/03/2016 08:05

Good luck today Barking! Electric Blue Hap of Eggs to youSmile and wow what stress with the move but im glad you are in. I hope it's lovely.

In at 10.45am tomorrow. Am off for an AMH test now (it's only £10 here so thought I might as well while I'm here)

OP posts:
EricaJ · 18/03/2016 09:55

Good luck, Barking!! Five is good!!

And you tomorrow, Blue! Hope the AMH goes well.

I had some brown gunk yesterday, that in quantity, could have been start of the droid but not the right colour...and even that has completely stopped now Angry Angry Angry

This is fucking surrealistic. Wanting the droid to arrive (when I have been dreading her for years) so I can go through a very invasive and uncomfortable test so they can (maybe) find an infection or something.

What has become of my life Angry

Blue2014 · 18/03/2016 10:22

It's all insane isn't it, Erica

OP posts:
EricaJ · 18/03/2016 13:58

The droid has landed!! It's the power of BESH!

How is going Barking?

barkingtreefrog · 18/03/2016 14:15

Excellent news Erica Grin

5 eggs. I cried and whimpered and sucked the gas and air all the way through. Left my dignity well and truly behind. Fucking painful again, and awake throughout again. Only just managed to stop crying after they lay me down under a blanket and gave me hot chocolate and biscuits. Quite upset that the pain was even worse than last time but they got only 5 eggs when last time we got 9.
Just waiting for the embryologist to come and speak to us now.

Blue2014 · 18/03/2016 15:11

Woohoo, good stuff Erica!

Yay for the eggs but sorry for the pain Barking. They put us to sleep at reprofit, which I was terrified of but I imagine is probably easier (apparently as they returned me to my bed I was shouting at Mr B to go and give his sample otherwise they'd use donor sperm! Shock)

OP posts:
EricaJ · 18/03/2016 15:14

Barking 5 eggs sounds pretty good? Though I do understand that you must feel pretty fucked off about more pain-less eggs.

Good luck with the embryologist, hag, we are all rooting for you!

I am actually doubting the droid. If I get red blood coming out my vagina (as opposed to brown spotting), on the day when I am due, and accompanied by cramps and that weird feelingon my legs... it must be the droid, right? God, it is like being 12 years old all over again (and thank fuck I did not know back then what lied ahead!)

Blue2014 · 18/03/2016 15:37

I'm rubbish at droid stuff Erica, I'm more clueless now than when I was 12! Do you usually have any pre/mid cycle bleeding?

OP posts:
EricaJ · 19/03/2016 09:49

Thinking of you so HARD today, Blue!!!
