30s TTC. It was the BESHt of times,it was the worst of times, it was the age of rummaging in gussets, drinking gin.....

[ginhag]

C'mon in BESHes to the beach bar...sprawl on comfy sofas while you wiggle your toes in the sand and watch a glorious sunset....and drink brightly coloured cocktails with sparklers in. Cos we're classy,innit.

I've got Adam and joe in as barmen, and we have a rather nice Cave of Gloom in the corner for those 'whyyyyyy meeeeeeee???' moments. We have a reggae sound system playing mob barley's greatest hits. It's a sunshine paradise!

Newcomers welcome,as long as they drag along a bucket of black humour and a vast amount of gin. And please note,some of us have been here so long we have forgotten the real world almost entirely.

Now,who's getting the next round in?

I got a phone call from the surgery this morning; my progesterone is predictably low. Spoke to my doctor who said it could just be due to my long cycle, so we are repeating the blood test on Monday, but he is also referring me for an ultrasound of my ovaries, to check for PCOS (first time he's mentioned that, but had crossed my mind.)

Due on Monday. Just met extreme near the office for hugging and jumping up and down. then nearly threw up on a passing car.

Due on mon.

Did I mention that I love you guys???

We love you too, Gin!

so you have a whole weekend of not telling Mr Gin? You are a way better actress than me if you manage that. Hope you can tell him at the right time whatever that turns out to be. In the meantime enjoy the BESHlove

Medee that sounds frustrating. Hope it turns out to be a cycle thing, but glad they're looking into things properly. Any idea how long the referral will take?

OmmyfuckingGothat'samazingandIcan'tbelieveIhadtgoearlierwhenmybatterydied!

ginI am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so happy for you and confident this one will be sticking around.

see, it is your month

Medicalinternvention hope you get more info on Monday....

...right ladeez, far be it from me to bring this super-successful old-timers diffment fred to and end, but we need to fink about new fred title...I thought a corporate-speak title this time...

The 30s TTC Corporation: Rolling out BESH practice across our flagship monthly diffment projects - Blue Sky thinking for a paradigm shift vis-a-vis droids and wooden spoons.

Love it, choochootrain. Just love it.

Gin I am going to have several drinkies for you tonight.

Meds Sorry, just missed your news. Is crappy - hope is just due to cycle issues.

Scuse me. Just had to run away from my desk there to have a few tears of happiness for gin. I am so incredibly utterly thrilled for you. You deserve this so much. And I think it's going to be a good one, oh yes.

Sorry to hear about your results Medee. But it's good you're being investigated and hope they can figure out what's causing it and then fix it. It is a fixable sort of thing isn't it?

Y'know, gin started this thread and got a win. Could this be a coincidence? Will there be mass competition to start the next one?

medee apologies m'dear. I jumped on and off earlier and missed your update. sorry to hear about the result - hope their willingness to get testing and take action works though. at least they seem proactive.

Someone else can . I shall wait until I am thin enough for IVF to start before demanding baybee-related lucks.

Muse Shurely it is your turn to start the fred? Or should it be cholene, as she came up with the new fred title.

I would rather not start the thread. When I started a bus thread I had Teflon womb incident. Am now superstitious. Scorps could start it, she had a theme.

no, nobody should be apologising for missing my news - in fact I wish I had waited longer to post, cos it is Gin's day.

(but Muse - yes, hopefully fixable, and Oc - dr was v vague on that one, though said "shouldn't be too long", whatever that means)

ooh, how did I do that?

gin OMG you dirty BITCH! You've been having SEX

mes I dunno much about hormones and shiz, but even if it is PCOS is not end of world. I know half a dozen people who were told they had PCOS ergo they would NEVER conceive and they all have at least one baby, and in one case three of the little blighters. All is not lost, my friend, and now they are On To It.

indeed, CUNnie, and I don't have much in the way of the other symptoms, apart from facial hair but as I am brunette with pale skin I have always had that.

gin I'm just thinking, won't MrGin be so bloody happy it's a positive that he'll let the early testing pass?

and may I just add (in 3 post menkullist mode) I bloody love how gin told us.

Would you all think me very menkul if I said I thought my buzwams had expanded over the course of the afternoon?

I so want to join gin in the diffment celebrations I think I'm imagining things. I'm going to go and sit in the corner and wibble a bit before I bore you all to tears. Whaddya mean too late!

New strategy is no testing unless no droid before Tues. That would be 14 dpo if I was late oving. Until then I may be a little quiet.

not at all menjul, NightattheMuseum. But I think your strategy of waiting is a sensible one.

Muse we all want you to be able to join in the diffment joy too. Fingers crossed that the buzwams are indeed expanding, and sending you lots of self control for waiting to test.
