The BESH 30's TTC: "Shall I get me rat out, Doctor?"

[ChoChoSan]

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....

muse I think we are sistahs in doom. My edd for the mmc was our (non wedding,we not married) anniversary. The fucking thing was conceived on valentines day...and as an extra bit on fun,the scan that revealed I did not in fact have an actual baybee in my tumtum was mr gin's birthday.

Then that was followed by the tubal mc on Xmas day, which finally came out on new year's eve.

Bizarrely I am not writing that down for sympathy but just cos it's the first time I've actually thought of all those dates together and i have decided that it sounds so ridiculous!

I hope you are getting cuddles now. A shit you are off booze. I remember forcing myself to drink thru that (mahoosive lush emoticon)

I am thinking of you an awful lot luvver (shit sound like a stalker,hopefully you know what I mean)

not sure how much I'll be around as I am trying to remind myself that I am not supposed to be ttc at the mo,but will check checking in on ya xxx

Incidentally I've been watching the clangers. Just found it on telly by accident. Retro a go go!

Oh gin. That sucks big time. Why do these things happen? I hope for better luck for both of us.

I think we may have earned it by now

what time you gotta go in tomorrow?

In before 10 so I can get the results in the evening. What a fun start to the day! At least I have a nice lunch planned to take our mind off it.

When do you find out about your stuff so you can start trying again?

I guess also at least you get it out of the way...tho obv still have to wait til eve for result... Am crossing fingers that it's all dropped.

Have consultant appt next fri,not sure what wait will be til they actually look inside tho.

Have shagged twice this month and just worked out timing was prob bit risky... Never mind eh...

Hope your appt goes well. I am hoping for a big hcg drop. Seems odd to be hoping for that!

Just seen, film4 doing 2 weeks of 80s movies from Monday.

Yep,is the weirdest thing to hope for! Will be the quickest route to 'normality' though...

And whatever happens there will be a whole bunch of us around for cocktails,drugs and random comedy violence. Or just a good chat.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks Haglet, will be watching them (even though have most on DVD). TYF initially sneered at my love of John Hughes fillums... until I made him watch Pretty In Pink, which he secretly really, really enjoyed, and Ferris Bueller, which he adored. The old ones are the best (like me, then).

And Gin, your list of shit-timed mc horrors are jaw-dropping. It's like the sickest, blackest comedy ever written. Without being in anyway, shape or form funny. Life sucks colossal donkey dicks sometimes, does it not?

Am really clotty now. Lovely. Nothing like a spot of TMI to liven up a dreary Saturday night, what what?!

Morning beshes.

scorpio very glad to hear that there won't be any banana flavoured cocktails today. Agree the texture makes you want to gag. Even the smell of overripe bananas... eeeeugghhh.

Muser enjoy your lunch today. Hopefully this afternoon will bring an end to all this shitness for you.

Gin christ woman did you do something bad in a past life? That really is taking the severe mickey. Am off to set sky+ for mucho film 4 watching. Nothing like a bit of the 80s brat pack to take your mind off TTC. And frankly even if you're not allowed at the moment (shag I mean, not Film4), you still have blood running through your veins. I keep getting accused of using mr moo for baybee making purposes only. Shocking.

Sooooo ladies of the palace what delights for valentines day do we have planned? So much for my romantic musings. So far have had a cup of earl grey and a puppy licking my face in bed. Quite nice really.

muser hope it goes as well as can be expected today.

Thanks Medee. I have been tapped for blood again. I am quietly hopeful that things are about to sort themselves out. I feel a little crampy, as if I was about to start my period.

Thinking of you, Muse.

does an EPU get an alternative name? Just trying to find out if we have one locally, should I need it (figured it easier to be in the know in advance, rather than in a panic). Have found that in Aberdeen we get two scans though, so that is nice.

Period not due for another week and a half; I feel the 2WOOFLING will reach menkul levels well before then.

The one I go to is the emergency gynae unit. Which explains the mixed waiting room. It's actually on a different floor to the antenatal stuff.

First result for Aberdeen Maternity is a netmums forum saying "AMH - is it really that bad?" which bodes well!

Haha. I live across the road from a maternity hospital and it gets similar results. There's an association of epu website which lets you search for your nearest unit. Not sure if it covers Scotland though.

Top o'the cynical marketing ploy morning to yez.

Muser, finking of you for today (said Ead in vaguely stalkerish terms).

Can't be assed to do much for today. Last week made the OM a gift that I thought would take an hour and took eight in total. It would be a wonderfully loving gesture if the finished whole didn't look like a faintly unsuccessful GCSE project .

Meanwhile am gusset checking for FFJ. Now THAT's romance, people.

No, what's romance is that TYF went and got the Sunday papers (usually my job), as I am crampy AND got me some organic, no sugar lemon fizzy drink AND some frozen broccoli because he knows I like the drink and we'd run out of broc (my fave veg and there was none fresh). He's not romantic in the slightest, but treats me like a queen every day (rather have a man who does more housework than me, like TYF does, than one who buys me lavish bouquets but doesn't lift a finger). We did exchange cards and he got me one I'd seen and loved when buying his (too girly to give to a bloke), so well done that man. And we did go and see 'Ponyo' yesterday, which was lovely. Surprisingly, watching a film about little kids in a movie theatre surrounded by little kids wasn't traumatising, but quite soothing. Perhaps that's because we weren't the ones with a child who kept yelling 'Mummy, I done a poo, can you smell it?' (and the answer, sadly, was yes, yes we could smell it)

Muser, how have things gone today? Have been worrying about you. What a wonderful date to go through more shit. Is there a 'special occasions jinx' on the BESHes?

Aw, good work TYF.

I'm fine Scorps. Will get a call later with latest test results. But right now we are off for Sunday lunch. Nom

Just popping in to see how you are Muse. Have fingers crossed for your results later xx

No news here. I think they must be really busy as I can't get through to check results.

What's everyone been up to for Valentines Day?

Fucks sake. I am a medical mystery. HCG has risen by 60%, not a double but considered fine for a healthy pregnancy. Even more oddly, my progesterone has gone from a pathetic 7 to a very respectable 28.

The hospital have no idea what is going on. We still cannot rule out ectopic. The only option is yet another scan. Booked for Wednesday as they have nothing earlier. The nurse said she didn't know what to say and doesn't want to give me false hope. I no longer know what to think.

Jaysus what a headfuck. But surely somewhat positive??? Can you go to another hospital for an earlier scan or even privately maybe?

Attempted to make a bakewell tart. Forget the eggs. Fucking disaster.

I really don't know if it is positive! Surely if it was going to be good news something should have showed up on Fridays scan? We worked it out and latest conception could be is around 6 Jan (MrM helpfully slipped on ice and put his back out). If it was good we should have had something?

I could fake pain and go to A&E. But I feel fine and would fail the triage for being a crap actresss.

Actually, I don't feel fine. I feel SICK and my boobs hurt. I feel bloody pregnant. WHERE'S MY BAYBEE!
