The BESH 30s TTC thread in the world EVER - 2010

[CUNextTuesday]

C'mon girls, this is the year. We will form a circle and concentrate hard on diffment.

Meanwhile, David and Jenson have popped the corks and are pouring out the Bellinis. Truckle of stilton anyone?

Tha real baybee Jeebus?!! Wow...

Thisisn'tme if this is a long running problem I'd advise getting some professional help. A friend of mine went to Relate as her bloke had similar problems. It's been very helpful. Assuming t'other half is willing to see a sex therapist it could help you get past it.

muser we've thought of that. But 'tis a complex tale. Not your standard potency issues. Oh I dunno.

But Laydeeeeeez can't tell you the good it's done my soul just airing it. Thanks for bearing with me, a thousand time. The REAL baby Jesus agrees.

I'm sorry to sound so mercenary - but if he can't do the money shot, with or without fluffer - perhaps you seriously need to look at IUI/ickle frozen baybees?

ski you'll be suggesting a 'knee trembler' like the good 'ol days soon

FUCK

apostrophe in wrong fucking place...

Noooo iggy I did mean with her bloke's sperm, but you know, if he does it in a pot then the nice doctor whom we hope doesn't lick out the mixing bowl after, can stick it up her and her man doesn't even need to have done the manfat thing that week!

Or true, she could shag a random.

ski yar, I like the practical way your mind works me duck. And if things don't get any better than sure thing, I'm up fer it. (the jizz-pot, not the stranger, although that does have a certain allure...)

I still live in hope that it's a solvable problem and feel a bit ashamed that I've had a massive meltdown when it's so early on in the TTC bit.

So you are essentially suggesting a turkey baster?!

SEXY

It worked for all the BESH lesbians. Once the penis is removed from the equation it's embryo's-a-go-go!

Where did all the BESH lesbians go anyways?

Maybe they got bored with us constantly making rubbish lesbian jokes? Just a possibility...

Psst, it is I, Michelle. There are other BESHes on here who have had similar problems. Me, for one. I still have not won my baybee, though, so have no usef advice. But muchos sympathy. I also found that a bit of non-penetrative, ahem, kindness (obviously at non-fertile moments, I'm not that loving & giving) restored a certain amount of fun & frolics. More importantly, over a year of babyfailing has focussed his mind a bit. But I'm guessing you'd probably rather not wait that long.

dromedary:* Thanks. And you're right viz. frolicks. we are fans of frolicks in this household. but yarp, intend to reserve that for when I am barren as the Sudan in August.

can't tell you what it's doing to me knowing it isn't just me - appreciate fucking self-involved idiocy of thinking any problem in the world is reserved solely for oneself, but you know how it is.

I was a wondrous sight on this morning's bus to my work orifice, all listening to Ray Lamontagne and weeping out of the window. Same not to be said for home journey thanks to BESHES .

*Besht I could come up wiv, sozzles.

Hugs and kicks to TIM and Scorps. One month I put too much pressure on MrM and sex just stopped being any good for us both. So, I relaxed a bit and it got good again.

I finally collected my CBFM from the depot last night, but as I missed the original delivery, I am now too late to start it this cycle (up to Day 5 only to start), but I do have TCOYF now, so will start that.

*ThisIsntMe' I have emailed Iggy to pass on my email address if you want it as TG and I have had familiar sounding ishoos. Happy to chat if you need it.

The HSG was ok actually - all over very quickly, bit uncomfortable, totally humiliating obviously but ok. And the results were good. Although my immediate reaction was 'If there is no problem then why the fuckety fuck am I not already pregnant?' I managed to keep that in my head though. At least I think I did. I think it helped that a) I am ov'ing so cervix nice and squishy and open and b) already given birth so probably have vag like a bucket.

Anyway the most utterly humiliating part was when he had to give me a 'wipe down with a sterile pad' before the start of proceedings.... and (even the thought of writing this is making my skin crawl) parted my lips with his fingers to get the wipe right in there... YUCK YUCK YUCK! (sorry tmi) It was just hideous to have a complete stranger touch me in such a way... just URGHHHH!

Anyway, that is my bit all done and I am now ready to get the drugs see the consultant on 9 Feb. We were driving away from the hospital when TG had the audacity to moan about finding the time to jizz in a pot before the next appt. FFS.

Oh Polly that does sound grim. Glad it was good news though.

TIM> sex counsellors not just for standard potency issues. They're for deep seated emotional ishoos. My friend's bloke had problems all tied up with being bullied and shit. Things worked, his emotions didn't. And it is NOWT to do with you. It's his brain/emotional problems. But the two of you have to fix it together.

medee m'dear thank you. the kick's as welcome and needed as the hug. Is a CBFM a fertility monitor? My sister used 'em from the start and it sorted her out (she had PCOS & I think it helped muchly with feeling she had some control/structure...)

polly OH GAAAAH that made me shudder; I won't even go for smears (actuellement now I'm a grown up TTC I'm going, meh...). Lip-partage!!!! Squirm squirm squirm! THANKS for the email addy offer, you're a hen, and I'll deffo drop you a line.

Muser - I fink we need to fink about that, you know. He wrote a long list today of things that are bothering him and it was just fucking heartbreaking. No wonder he doesn't feel full of beanz.

Anyway everyone. Came home from work and basically (in a heavily disguised way!) repeated all the wordz of wizdom (dunno why I'm doing that - been talking to my nephew too much) gathered today. Ie, that I think I'd been at fault lots for piling on massive massive pressure on him and lots of men would feel the same, and that I'll keep the, you know, EXACT details of what my cervical mucus is doing to a minimum. And we'll talk through some of his ishoos, see if it helps. And if it doesn't, well: lots of other people to talk to. Had immense hug. All's well in the heart, you know? Just need it to be OK in the GENITAL DEPARTMENT har har.

Love you BESHES. And tomorrow I'll return without my oh-so-cunning disguise. And be less self-absorbed.

SNOGS ATCHER!

it is indeed, ClearBlue Fertility Monitor.

polly I was trying to email you but my bastard phone being annoying and I seem to have hidden the laptop.

I actually tensed my foof reading your post. Can't quite believe he didn't let you do it! Fab it was good news tho.

when you coming to briz then?

pooface I feel sicky for you. Well done for getting through it, now just try to block it out!

well done poo - braver woman than me. You deserve several gins.

Fanks BESHies, just putting feet up with dog and hot water bottle. And of course a v large drinkie. Strictly for medicinal purposes.

Gin when do you want us? We can come next week except Thurs. Or week after? Maybe we could get Extreme to join us? We could have our very own little south-west BESHfest. Woo hoo!

Who wants to join me for a pint? Of gin, obv.

poopy I work mon,tues n fri...so that leaves us with wed? Will see if extreme fancies it,depends if she can be arsed with the smalls...am going for drinks with her one eve next week...do ya wanna just come to mine? Space,and toys,so easy for da kidz.

Fuck I will have met 4 beshes soon. Am gonna have octuplets without actually even SWI

really glad it was good news Polly, and glad it's over. Roll on the drugs (or preferably the getting diffed without them).

I've decided my body is messing with my head - droid seemed to have arrived earlier, leaving me trying to see the positives (was a 27 day cycle so hopefully body isn't too messed up post pill, arrived nicely before skiing so at least I know what I'm dealing with and won't have to be constantly knicker checking just in case, and will be able to drink while skiing without worrying too much. OK maybe not actually while skiing - I fall over enough as it is!)

Now it seems to have ground to a halt. So I'm trying to remember whether this was normal droid behaviour pre-pill (certainly wasn't during pill but that's different). Sure it'll be full on by the morning but wish my body wouldn't try and confuse me.

Great news Polly and I'm glad it's over for you.

Lyra, POAS! POAS! POAS! POAS! - you know the drill!

I fear the Brizzle meet will result in a video on youporn.
