The Palace is open and the anti-freeze is flowing - Blue Bols 50p a shot! Two for one on Archers and orange, for the classy BESHies (the ones who keep their hats on whilst undergoing an internal examination).

We have Vampire Bill and Brian Cox in the Dungeon, and David Mitchell and Brian Eno tending the bar....

Hey iggsta I asked cheggs when she due but she had vamoosed...do you know? And when are you due? I have no idea what's going on with any peshes.... Are you alright n shiz?

laurielou · 10/02/2010 15:10

Woo hoo, gin & chocolate you say? Bar crawl? Nekkid dancing? I'm back!!!

On a serious note just a wobble. I have them every few years months of trying . Of course its scary, but (most) women do it & live to tell the tale! And we can see how the experiences differ just from our BESHlets. Plenty of time to worry about all that if I get updiffed (strangly once I'm definitely faced with a "drama" I cope much better than wallowing in the what if's)

Anyhoo......... rack em up, ladies!

ginhag · 10/02/2010 15:15

Woop woop lorry glad you back. Have this Bastard Mental Cocktail Thing. It will explode your brain

yup you right. When things actually happen you cope cos you have to. Hence no point admiring those of us who've given birth...baby has to come out is all!

It is def the what ifs that are baaaaad. So I am banning you from watching that programme. Have a chocolate coated ruby player instead

iggypiggy · 10/02/2010 15:15

waccy krishnan guru murthy agress with you - i noted his 'steve support' on twitter.

ginlet am not totally sure on cheggs due date - maybe April? I is due in July - the 20th. I haz scan later today - am shitting self - as per. Is nice to see you back here lover. x

ginhag · 10/02/2010 15:26

Aw iggs you have less n less reason to be shitting yourself as this goes on (of course you know that n don't need me to say )

scans are FUCKING scary if you've had bad experience though so you have my total sympathy. Maybe after this one (as you must be umm getting on for 20 weeks ish?) you'll start relaxing a bit...

20th July is actually the best day anyone could ever be born! However as it is due date I prob won't actually end up sharing my birthday with mini iggs...unless it is a very well behaved one n comes on 'right' day...

Is nice to see you too mate.

laurielou · 10/02/2010 15:29

Thanks gin

cheggs due in April? Farking hell, that's coming round quick. July is a lovely month to have a birthday!!! Good luck with the scn, let us know how it goes, x

iggypiggy · 10/02/2010 15:31

haggle I know - but I can't help the nerves - silly innit... I had a nightmare last night - so can only assume is the worry finding its way to my sleep!

Am 17 weeks. 20th July is good date yes would be nice if it did come then..

Do you have any tubular news? Can you start SWI again?

ginhag · 10/02/2010 15:43

It's not silly. Yes,the chances of anything going wrong now are fucking tiny,but that's not where the worry is coming from. You just don't dare let yourself be all relaxed n unworried before a scan as that's how you were before it went wrong. Makes complete sense to me.

I'm really looking forward to you bouncing in here shouting in a manic fashion that everything is actually fine

bad dreams= very normal in pg anyway,as there is a lot to worry about. Am breaking the rules again to give you a big soppy cuddle. You'll be fine. and so will your baby.

Nah no news yet,consultant week on fri so will find out what they planning to do re tube and adhesions...hopefully appt to actually look at stuff won't be too far in the future but who knows really...

As for swi,have generally been too scared to shag at all as can't bring myself to use contraception (esp as it may be fine to swi for all I fucking know!) however last night lust and red wine got the better of me...

can you tell the small one is poorly today? He's spent most of it cuddled on my lap watching telly,hence lots of mn on iphone...

ginhag · 10/02/2010 15:59

poopy are you there? You alright luvver?

RunLyraRun · 10/02/2010 15:59

Good luck for this evening iggy, looking forward to your squels of excitement tomorrow.

iggypiggy · 10/02/2010 16:18

Ah bless you ginlush fanks muchly. That is exact reason I iz para.

fanks also lycra

gin yay for last night and hope friday brings some answers - it's the fucking not knowing that drives me mad... so can imagine is same for you.

speshul small one squeezes as he is poorly.

HawaiianCuntShine · 10/02/2010 16:34

'ere Iggs take this talapia for luck. May you witness much wriggling and wonder

I'm also wondering about PolPot hope a new day and new gin brings some better outlook.

ChoChoSan · 10/02/2010 16:55

Wow 17 weeks Igs - that's going quickly!

As for me...well poas this pm and nada!! No droid either ...not supposed to test until tomorrow am, but nowt's gonna change in 14 hours (before anyone jumps in with 'negs can changes to positives'!). Can't be mithered with this fucking game anymore, I'm at work anyway so no time to dwell on babyfail misery.

Am looking forward to wine tonight and during Roman holiday next week! At least I don't have to face being 'comforted' with an inflated rubber glove in 9 months' time

Arse. Cho that sucks. I've not been paying enough attention to numbers of days and things (and don't really have a clue anyway) so will be good and not tell you -ves can change to +ves, and instead will pour the wine.

ChoChoSan · 10/02/2010 17:17

Kewl Cockarina...dump some valium in there while you're at it...there's a pet!

ginhag · 10/02/2010 17:25

cho I too find too much positivity (no pun intended) when I feel shit doesn't really help,no matter how well intended.

Was totally rooting for you mate,and am sorry if it looks like this ain't gonna be the one.

Instead have a gin n Valium cocktail, with a punchbag on the side.

ginhag · 10/02/2010 17:28

I now feel like I want to hit something/someone on your behalf.

ginhag · 10/02/2010 17:36

Also there is the obvious thing about testing with fmu...well someone's gonna say it,so it may as well be me. Please don't punch me cho

I will Shut The Fuck Up now. Here have some poppers.

Medee · 10/02/2010 18:42

cho
shall continue to metaphorically cross fingers, but also send a "bah, that sucks".

I've been SWIng with much Intent. Fingers crossed.

Muser · 10/02/2010 19:13

Oh bollocks Cho. Here, have another gin.

I have no sign of droidyness since mc. Last time I got droid straight away. Am too scared to SWI at the moment. And I was meant to go to the hospital today for another blood test and completely forgot. Arse.

rollerbaby · 10/02/2010 20:31

Oh Choochy I'm sorry. I think what you need is a double brandy and a punch bag. Failing that, work your way through the wine rack with a bag of cheesy tortillas.

I've got hurty bits in the womb today. Early PMT no fking doubt.

CockDodger · 10/02/2010 20:35

Just wanted to pop in and say that two of my work mates are due to pop any day. Another has just got updiffed on her first try. My best friend from school is updiffed with her fourth, yes FOURTH, and my far-too-young cousin has announced her second 'accidental' pregnancy.

What's goin on 'ere then?
Are we missing something?

Pass me the tequila bottle - I'm gettin pissed tonight!!!!

Eadwacer · 10/02/2010 20:58

cho that suckz ballz. Shall still hope in a stubborn mulish fashion on your behalf and deliver boyish punch of support to upper arm .

Meanwhile honeycow's recommendation sound just the ticket. I want some cheesy tortillas but I also want to paint my own toenails without assistance of a small industrial hoist, and apparently I can't have both.

Have just had good half hour sob in dread of upcoming fertile patch that'll no doubt pass shagless. Hoopla! Ooh look here's a jar of mango chutney. Pass us a teaspoon.

Scorpette · 10/02/2010 21:00

Cho, am not going to give up hope for you, as it ain't over until the metal bastard beeps!

Anyone want to hear about the fuckwittery of my Dr? Soz, am going to tell you anyway...

As the nurse was drawing the bloods, I noticed that on the form accompanying the phials of blood to be sent to the hospital had on it the following words: irregular periods, subfertility, patient query perimenopause. I was WTF at this and said to the nurse that this was incorrect. So I made her access my file (dunno if she was allowed to do this, but could see I was fuming) and saw that the Dr had written - over 3 hours after seeing me - that I'd discussed irregular periods, existing fertility issues and questioned if I was entering a premature menopause, giving examples! I hadn't said a fucking word to her about perimenopause, when asked if I had any proper fertility ishoos, I'd said never and when she asked about my periods I'd told her they were regular and exactly how they'd always been and that I could tell when I was ovulating, which was backed up by OPKs. And on my notes, she'd also written 'partner 58 yrs; query age-related subfertility'! When she had asked me how old my partner was, she misheard and I had to keep telling her he's 28.

So after reading this and thanking the Nurse, I went to complain at reception, but they wouldn't let me talk to the Dr, even thought she was there and said I would have to wait until Tuesday when the Dr would ring me, when she was next in (giving her time to cover over her shit, no doubt).

I realise that they need to put a coupla reasons for testing on the form, but why put bullshit? I think that on the day, she had just waited so long to write up our consultation that she'd forgotten the details and instead, just wrote up generic '35+ woman TTC issues' presumptively. I don't want wrong info about me on my medical files - apart from it just not being acceptable, it could wrongly affect how other medical people view me and my ishoos and how I'm treated; don't want to be treated like there's loads wrong with my fertility when nothing's been proven at all yet. Or have to keep explaining to people who presume I have menstrual issues that there's nothing wrong with me droid, etc., etc.

USELESS FUCKING BAG 'O' SHITE!

What is this, Official Medical Cuntery Week? Think me and PloppyPol deserve a win for all this being messed around (although Gemma's evil far outweighs my useless GP, obvy!). Gah!

PS Sorry for loooong self-indulgence.

Eadwacer · 10/02/2010 21:08

What the....what the FUCKING FUCK, Scorps? For the love of all that's holy and precious - either a) they've got your records mixed with someone else's or b) some sleep-deprived quack can't be arsed to take a bit of care over files that affect someone's fucking life?! Either way how she could not have had the fucking grace to come and explain - Jesus. I'm genuinely shocked. Two tales of total fucking carelessness and incompetence.

Am speechless really - a bi-annual rarity. Is this the shitty hospital TYF had to take his jizzpot to for reasons not quite clear? Any chance of registering your mistrust of their procedures/admin and requesting transfer? Isn't the NHS supposed to be all about patient choice these days?

God. Am too baffled and cross to think of anything sensible.
