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.

YAAAYYYYYYY!! For musebaby, and fingers still crossed for you Twinks. Anyfink from gin or salty yet today?

TwinkleToes76 · 05/07/2010 11:57

Thanks all. Yes, sure of my dates Muse. Last time we had the sechs was 1 June, he then went abroad. Got a positive ovulation test three days later on 4th June! So must have ovulated on 4th or 5th at the latest (cycle day 14/15), which would make me just over 6 weeks. Bit of a miracle I got pregnant at all really.

I know there is nothing I can do and that scans vary so much at this stage but is such a deja vu from last time. Bugger. I'm going to treat myself to a nice lunch out somewhere and off load my daughter onto my mum for a couple of hours. Thanks again everyone.

Muser · 05/07/2010 12:00

I'm crossing everything for you Twinks. I hope it is just not showing up yet and you get better results soon. Your plan for the day sounds good, treat yourself to something lovely.

Medeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fantastic noos. So pleased for you. I had a feeling it was your month. Now can I take your place please at the private scan tomorrow?!?

Thinking of all of you facing scans, spotting etc. It is a bittersweet time in the BESH tent at the moment, isn't it?

PerfectDromedary · 05/07/2010 12:46

Twinks So sorry that the scan was inconclusive - more worry is clearly not what you need. Will continue to keep things crossed for you and lovelyGin, whose scan is tomorrow.

Any more news from Salty?

Pliz not to write about the bleaching. For some reason it makes me want to be sick. Bleurgh.

Cass Am also sorry that the droid appeared. Maybe we need to continue the film and beanbag day for those among us who are suffering? Or how about a TV boxed sets day? Who fancies watching the entire first season of the West Wing with me?

Casserole · 05/07/2010 13:57

Only if I can lick Josh's face at regular intervals

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 14:48

Cass I'm not sure le Palais would appreciate its widescreen, wall-mounted plasma TV being licked. Even by you.

Anal bleaching?????? I know I'm just a bumpkin from the sticks, but I'm trying and failing to imagine why you would put bleach near your anus.

Haven't said hello and crossed fingers and bundles to Twinky yet. It's a very worrying time for some of you . I wish and hope everything will be ok.

Muse, well your little bean has successfully navigated way through the first part of the journey, it seems. Good luck for the rest of it, luvver.

Gin and Salts

Medee · 05/07/2010 17:31

Hellooooo! And thank you for all the lovely messages. Didn't think it was cryptic at all! Peed on a stick this morning and the Sainsbury's own brand said Yes! A Fancy pants one may be purchased tonight for more pissing tomorrow. Can't believe it has blooming well happened!

MrM a little in shock! FWIW, we did it three nights in a row over the ovulation weekend (frequency and quality fo weekend sex perhaps? Plus lube), so that seems to have done the trick.

I think I might still go for the scan - my book on PCOS says there is a higher chance of miscarriage, so would be useful to have it confirmed or ruled out, but I will phone in the morning and see what they say. Also had a letter from local hospital inviting me for my NHS scan!

Medee · 05/07/2010 17:32

Muse really chuffed you've had a good scan. Twinkies keeping it all crossed for you.

How are Gin and Salty?

ginhag · 05/07/2010 17:55

muse I said it all earlier so won't repeat myself. But it is all good, and in 2 weeks in will be amaaaaazing.

twink I'm sorry that it's not clearcut good news, I will keep everything crossed for you mate.

med was completely clear to me! Am chuffed to bits for you

I haven't bled again. Am experiencing a mixture of hope,despair and exhaustion. And fucking dreading tomorrow....

ginhag · 05/07/2010 18:19

I have a grumbly horrible ache in my lower back, which under the circumstances must be a sign of

a) pregnancy
b) miscarriage
or c) ectopic.

salt, thinking of you...

saltyair · 05/07/2010 18:32

YAAAAAYYYYYYYY! Medeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee That is so cool, I'm delighted for you my dear.

Also extraordinarily chuffed about your scan Muserama. Is good, no? All in correct place, and some eggage going on.

Twinkletoes I'm sorry scan didn't give you the reassurance you wanted, but at least is wasn't bad news. Fingers crossed lovely.

Ginsters Yay to no more bleeding, and I think your self diagnosis is correct. Could be flaming anything, or indeed nuffink. what time is scan tomoz my love?

In gusset news, spotting has petered out, spoke to very brisk midwife who basically said not to worry (yeah, right....) but to ring them again if it starts up and they'll put me in for a scan....obviously, this means I am zen like and perfectly chilled. [sarcastic cow emoticon].

So will just keep an eye I guess - I'm not sure how pushy I should be, as scans at this stage (as twinks has discovered) aren't always conclusive AND I suppose I'm also terrified of hearing that there's nothing doing in the down below under stairs dept. Am def not Dedard. Am pathetic, in manner of victorian ladeeeeeeeee....

Cosmosis · 05/07/2010 18:46

gin just wanted to say finking of you for tomorrow.

ChoChoSan · 05/07/2010 19:34

Congratulations Mr&MrsMeds! That is fantabulous news!!!! Vey satisfying!

Glad you have a clear gusset Salty and Grade A Columbian BESH dust for Gins tomorrow.

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 19:58

Now you've got home and confirmed everything, CONGRATULATIONS M'dear. How exciting. This summer thing is really working isn't it? So what's the secret, recently diffed ones?

Good luck tomorrow, Gin. Try and get some sleep - all very well for me to say, I know.

PollyPoo · 05/07/2010 20:10

Gin luver, good look for tomorrow, I'll be keeping everything crossed. .

Still very excited for Me'dear. The MSDP is a good 'un.

TwinkleToes76 · 05/07/2010 20:38

I'm sending you all the luck in the world for tomorrow Gin. So pleased there's been no more blood for you or Salty, long may that last!

CurlyCasperBaggedABairn · 05/07/2010 20:58

gin good luck for tomorrow. sending hard basrard hugs and velcro vibes. xxx

RunLyraRun · 05/07/2010 21:22

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 21:45

Us soon, luvvers.

Ocarina · 05/07/2010 21:48

Medee, hooray! Am vvvv pleased for you. Tis time for nekkid dancing.

Also very pleased to hear things are looking good for Muse, and have everything crossed that all this bleeding that's been going on turns out to be nothing for gin, twinks and salty.

Sorry to hear that droid arrived Cass, it's bastard evilness. Hope it didn't spoil your weekend entirely, how was the wedding?

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 21:50

Holy fuck! Headcase! It's because she swanned off to Devon....

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 21:51

And Occy - God, this gets worse and worse.

Ariesgirl · 05/07/2010 21:51

Note to self - when in a pit, stop digging.
