30s TTC - We BESH you a Merry Jizzmas and a droid-free new year!

[CurlyCasper]

Come in, come in. The wine is mulling, the bird is stuffed and cooked. We have a huge table at which to enjoy our festive feast, and the rippling Ricky Whittle is the centrepiece, draped in berries to be removed by whatever method you choose.

A bottle of Gin and an elf-man in a box awaits each and every one of you. Just make your wish and when you undo the bow he will appear.

There's a nativity tableau in the corner, for praying to the baybee Jebus and, most importantly of all, Santa has been asked to deliver the gift of exceptional fertility, so that each and every BESH can enter the new year with a baybeeee in their tum tum.

Oh, and I've let a few cats in to aid with the 2WOOFL menkulness.

Now, let's get together and get the tree up!

Hey iggy be sure to put a photo up of the new hairy baby as soon as you can. We are going to pick ours out next weekend... London to Lincoln for a 15 minute goo goo session with 4 pups. How the hell am I supposed to pick one?

Today all my numbers came up - CBFM said go, go, go, and so we went. I even did legs in the air for 30 minutes for extra good measure. Although they tend to go a bit numb after 15 I find. Pray to the baybee Jaysus for me please.

Fingers crossed for you honey.

So iggy what sort of puppy's yours going to be? (I like other people's puppies but am adamantly not having any furry things of our own, so will just have to coo over yours)

Anyone interested enough in football to join me in rejoicing at Leeds beating ManU, or is mentioning such a thing enough to get me chased out of here?

I'll rejoice with you Ocarina! Hurrah! Am a reluctant Arsenal fan through location rather than anything else. My other half works in sport so I make a small effort to try to enjoy watching the occasional match otherwise life in my house would be pretty unbearable - It feels like Sky Sports is on ALL the time.

Wise words Cunty. Still not much happening with me but I am wondering if i should give myself a break for a month for self preservation. I can imagine how miserable it must be to have a negative straight after a MC.

Honeymoo - where is your steak house? Am craving great big chunks of meat!

Sherlock Holmes is very enjoyable rubbish, highly recommended. We took ourselves off to Pizza Express afterwards and now I look about 8 months pregnant. I'm having a pizza baby.

Twinkle are you in the SW London Battersea region of the world? If so, it's a place called Santa Maria del Sur of recent F Word telly fame. We decided if it was good enough for G Ramsay... I'd give it 6/10 because the service was pants and plates were cold (very fussy about these things). Big chunks of meat though.

Pizza baby is one thing Muser, I reckon I've got a Christmas dinner baby. All my colleagues are going to think I'm up the duff I've got so porky.

I think I've got a Poo Baby. Am full of Poo due to Christmas excess.

TMI?

Happy New Year to you all!

Budge up in the Pit of Doom, I'm wallowing (in poo).

twinkle on the babyfail front - cunty does have v. wise words... My dr said to wait a month and this website here also explains why it can be good to wait a month - more emotionally than anything else.. but i think it all depends on how you feel and also how early or late your MC was cos the later it was then longer it seems to take for your body to right itself.

Anyway - I waited a month before SWI again. Then i went nuts/ obsessive for a few months and think i finally calmed down in September (babyfail in April) - but i is clearly menkul

*muser How long would a Pizza baby last though? What if you got hungry?

vag a poo baby sounds VILE - although guess could be dressed up a la Mr hanky?

ocarina a labrador - it will be the niece of my current lab.. I have had name on list for ages..

Babies, in my experience, are pretty much comprised of poo anyway, aren't they? Within hours, my new nephew had puked and pooed on my new, New Year's Eve dress. Am an amateur and should have worn washable separates. Oh well.

Is puke supposed to pour out of babies' noses?

Bless him, he didn't complain much though. Not as much as me.

Was wallowing in Pit yesterday, having a Stacey moment, when TSF said "oh so you really want a baby, I din't think you were that bothered". Bet he's been faking, too. I'm going to have to through a massive wobbly to get him to do his wank test at this rate. Right now, I'm too full of poo to throw anything.

'Tis quiet here today. I had Resolved not to post as much and to not get Obsessed about TTC. I have already failed and it's 4 Jan.

throw not through - argh.

BESHIE if you are there, I just wanted to say thank you so so much for the flowers... and gin!

I was late into work as I had (hopefully the last) hospital appt this morning. walked in, read your note and burst into tears, but was smiling too. It was an incredibly thoughtful and unexpected thing to do.

I have emailed you, but haven't said much.

You are proper proper lovely, and thanks again for thinking of me.

xxxxxxxxx (don't fucking care if kisses are 'unbeshy') xxxxxxxxxx

Ah Gin BESH that is v. lovely thing wot bessie did. Been thinking of you v. much xxxxxx

Bessie you are very kind. Hag - thinking of you too.

Hello Ginhag, I got your email and replied.

The gin was symbolically from all of us, so you know there are barren, selfish hags all round the country who are thinking of you (hmm, does that sound creepy?)

vag I rilly don't fink da boys geddit sometimes...

I have a very serious, important question for you all.

Do you think it is too risky to book tickets for Camp Bestival next summer? I don't want to jinx myself (or the thread) by even mentioning it, it is really more of a festival and I will be in a van not a t*

At most, if I am VERY lucky I suppose I will be 7 months pregnant. If I am VERY unlucky I will not be updiffed at all.

Do you think booking tickets will mean I have no chance of updiffment before Autumn?

OOoh Leeds Utd! What a match! What a result! V V V happy Leeds fans in our house, and indeed all over Leeds! don't care if we go out next round, we've done our job!

VAG I will confess I skim read and saw that your NYE dress had been puked and pooed on and thought "christ, she must've been wasted" - then I saw the word nephew. Sorry poogal.

Bessie Aren't you sweet!

Muser, I'm with cunty on this one. When I had the v early mc I tried not to let it get me down and I went straight back to work on the monday (it happened friday). It was only about 2 weeks later it hit me like a sledgehammer and I had to take a few days off work just to vegetate. Also, fuck off to all the wankers who say "ooh you're at your most fertile after a mc" fuck fuck fuckity off - it just puts more pressure on you.

ski totally with you on that - I felt immense pressure to be 'most fertile' in the 3 months after - fucking wankers took seven fucking months SEVEN

Bessie I am pondering your Bestival question (Bessietival, har har). On the one hand making expensive plans that would be awkward to fulfil if one did drop the butter dish is always to be applauded. BUT.. you have a massive negative in the particular plan you are considering. I know you said you won't be in one, but you will see them, walk past them, etc etc. Think very carefully.

Bessie book away. I've decided to stop putting life on hold waiting for the baybee that never seems to come. Hence I have tickets for Glastonbury this year. Never been before, not really keen this time (friend NEEDS to go before hitting 40). I've decided if I'm only a little bit updiffed (you know what I mean) then I'll be a fabulously fashionable yummy mummy who can regale trendy kid with tales of them going to Glasto (OK I'm purposely not thinking about barfing into an incredibly smelly portaloo etc), or I'll just have to cancel, forgoe my £200 ticket & watch if from home with a tub of Hagan Daas resting on my gently swelling tum (size of a hippo? Moi?).

Third option is that I'm not updiffed in any way shape or form, go to Glastonbury & get totally wasted on anything that is on offer, shag away, maybe even with the boyf, & enjoy my weekend.

Jobs a good 'un.

What Lorry said - putting life on hold is a Bad Thing during this time of menkulness...or indeed any time imho.

Thankyou all for your wisdom. What I might do (how lame am I?) is wait to find out whether this month is a babyfail. If it is, I will book (assuming I can convince dp that he wants to go) if I manage to get updiffed I will stay at home feeling smug. Yes?

Sounds like a plan Bessie

I don't like this being back at work lark and am currently achieving nothing. Must get off the internet and far far away....

Honeymoo I'm in NW London but I suppose I could bring myself to cross the river for good food
