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

[Muser]

We're getting serious this time BESHies. Welcome to the Palace, where the emphasis is on sophistication. Cast your eyes over the plush carpet, admire the oh-so-carefully worn leather armchairs with sidetables and little green lamps. We have the Bonds of the ages as barstaff, waiting to serve martinis and the finest champagne.

To your left you'll see the Pit, which hopefully we won't be needing much. To your right the Cave of Gloom, and straight ahead we have our special space for the 2WOOFL. You'll find beanbags and gym balls there, the walls have been specially painted to allow you to write your symptoms up and wipe them off if they disappear. It's all the rage for Blue Sky thinking these days. And there are donuts and coffee to keep you going as you try to shift that paradigm.

My SIL has been in labour since 2am. 2am!

evening ladies.

Excellent stalking there, Musician and I am really chuffed you have your scan date.

Scorp tres tres sorry to hear about droid making its beep.

I've managed, I think, not to arose suspicion in my mum about my low level of drinking this weekend. (I didn't not drink, but I drank a lot less than usual. Spritzer = sparkling elderflower cordial; sly pourings of my fizz into MrM's glass).

My temp, unfortunately, dropped a tad this morning. It's been 36.8 since ov, and today was 36.5. Mmm. Haven't had the results of the second blood test, so will call tomorrow as that has been a week. Given the other result was the next day, I'm not sure if no news is good news, or if it has just confimred doc's decision to refer me.

Fingers crossed on the results Medee. I wouldn't dwell on the temp drop too much, didn't someone else around here have something similar and still ended up diffed? Time will tell.

thanks, Muse. Any update on your SIL yet?

No news. We are on tenterhooks.

I've just updated my excel spreadsheet, and barring today's dip, the pattern does look a bit more steady than last cycle.

That sounds promising.

Where's our Lorry with her glasto report and gusset update?!

I have another nephew. Arrived in the last half hour. That's a damn long labour. I would like to order the "deep breath and baby" delivery please.

God Muse, wasn't' that about 30 hours? Congratulations to them anyway - bet she's glad that's over!

May I add a statistic here? Hy cousin was in labour for 60 hours

Yep. And I think she'd been in early labour before that. Last update I had was she hadn't slept in 48 hours. 60 hours is just, well, oh my.

Congrats MuseAunt but don't spread such horror stories! I will start liking the sinister little droid that is kicking me hard in the tummy. Hate the tin man. Where's that Neurofen?

YAY for Muse-Sis and her lovely baby! Hope they're both doing v well They'll all have a little cousin next year, how wonderful

I also want LOLCat's Glasto report. She's probably laid in a cider and poppers daze in a field somewhere, trying to work out when and why she had a full-body tattoo of a writhing python and struggling to get up because her arms are all tangled up in her sparkly pink fairy wings

My needling must be working because my droid has been a lot more normal, less painful (though still bad) and I feel cheerful today, instead of my usual post-droid blues. Is toooooooo hot though, bleeeuhhh

Morning all, what's occurring?

Well done Aunty Muse. It is horrible waiting for news isn't it?

Scorpy I am well impressed with the new 'tude.

Gin good luck with the bloods today, will be thinking of you sweetpea. x And plz to hear all about meet with Streme and Camelina.

So Cass and Lorry should be back today?

Helloooo? (echo echo echo)

So looonely, so loonely

Hello Lyra . Sorry there's been no one here. How are you doing at the moment?

I am thinking of splurging on highlights and Proper Hair Cut this week when I am so lonely and MrA is on the high seas. Some of you haz seen my hair. What do you think? Should gingernuts go for highlights?

Very trivial I know, but I'm not girlie very often. It is allowed you know! What do you think Lyra Silvertongue?

I have no idea about highlights, I've never had them. It could be cool though.

Now, any news from gin on those bloods? I am hoping for good news.

Hi Aries, I think highlights can look very pretty on gingers, go for it I say.

Thanks for drinkie Muse - droid has arrived today so am just about to have a real life G&T. Am bit but there was very little SWI this month, understandably in the circs, so not exactly a surprise. The good news is that the metal fucker should have departed in time for me to have the booked Hycosy test next week (invasive gynae test = good news = am freak).

Will pop back later in case news of Gin's bloods. Talking of gin, I keep reading about Sipsmith - anyone tried it?

no, but if it is a posh gin, do tell me more.

Congratulations AuntMusephine

I have a little bit of an update. Temp is the same today as yesterday, ie 36.5 rather than the prevous 36.8. But, results from doc say that it looks like I am ovulating (hurrah!); referral for scan was done last week, and I found out today that my work's PMI covers me for investigation into infertility (not treatment, but it's more than I expected). Plus, MrM has finally booked his wank-in-a-cup slot.

Good luck with the invasive gynae tests Lyra. I'm positive you're not a freak. I'm not surprised you didn't have much action this month.

Not tried Sipsmith. When I drink gin I get argumentative then maudlin - you wouldn't like me!

oooohhhhh - highlights, highlights highlights!! Go for it - you will look sun kissed and beautiful in manner of auburn haired goddess!

Back.

Camel , Muser - such brilliant brilliant news the pair of ye, well flippin done! Honestly, you turn your back for 5 minutes....

Had lovely lovely time. Am somewhere between tanned and slightly salmon tinged. Feeling v zen about whole thing at mo, which will likely last till at least midnight before the menkul finds me

Gin fizzes to all!

Stewpot!!!! Lovely to see you back. Where's our presents eh? Did you have a lovely time?
