We're not obsessing, we're Just Shagging! Part III

Hey brassica you can keep sane! You can do it! I won't help you wallow this month :) We're all entitled to get pissed off with it all ever now and again I reckon. It's like a pressure valve- if we didn't we'd go seriously and permanently crazy I reckon.

Oh josie I can't believe how much pain you've had. But the antibiotics have got to kick in soon. And then it sounds like you've got my perfect weekend lined up - parties, dinners out, pub lunches. Fingers crossed your munchers are munching again by then.

Nope, no temp rise. 97.05 this morning. Bloody body. Oh well, JSed two days in a row and TV is bloody good at the moment (have a terrible love of reality TV so X Factor and Strictly being back is great; plus Downton Abbey, Spooks, Masterchef, University Challenge .... the list goes on). I am a big loser but at least staying in watching telly means JSing a lot more

Sorry ERTD got you Crochet

And sorry your furkling isn't getting you anywhere TTL

I don't want to keep going on (I'm sure you're all sick to the back teeth of me - pun intended) but I effing hate effing teeth!!!!! [mad] It's not constantly sore anymore, which is a huge improvement, but my bite is no better. Took me over half an hour to eat 3 slices of pizza last night, which was devine being the first thing I ate after scrambled egg for three days! My back teeth squidge the gum when I try to bite, although I can use the right side of my mouth to almost chew it's a huge effort and actually quite tiring!

I can put up with it a bit longer but going out with Mam on thu and she was gonna buy me tea, and we're going for a meal for her 60th birthday on sat and I really want to be able to go, then we're going for sunday lunch at the pub on sunday but if I can't eat it's pointless me going! I don't want to miss all of mam's birthday celebrations . I'm sure I probably just have to keep at the antibiotics and it'll improve eventually [fed up and sore face]

Hope everyone is ok on this dull and dreary morning?

Day 42 in the Takethatlady house. Takethatlady has been furkling, almost incessantly, for pant snot. What she doesn't know is that Big Brother has removed all the pant snot from her house until further notice, so the furkling is totally pointless. Takethatlady hasn't ovulated since the end of July. How long will it take for her to crack?

That's how you know when your cycles are too long! Anything between 21 and 35 days is considered normal but it can take 3-6 months for the pill to come out of your body. It's because it takes two weeks on average for you to ovulate from the first day of your cycle (ha ha) and then two weeks for fertilisation/implantation. If that doesn't take place you get your period.

Thinking of peeing on a stic, just for something to do...

Evening all,

SRS, I was thinking the same thing - I literally just finished cycle 1 which turned out to be 33 days, and had absolutely no idea when I ovulated. If at all.

I went and took advantage of the BOGOF/BOFOF offer today, only to nip to the loo in my lunch break, whip the knickers down only to find AF had arrived. Boo.

Good luck to anyone waiting to test still

Hi SRS
The 2ww is the two week wait between when you think you ovulated and when your period arrives. It's called the luteal phase and should last 10-15 days (I read that on t'internet somewhere)

Cycle length varies from person to person (and in my case from "month" to "month" ) but a so-called average one is 28 days. Have you just come off the pill or similar? If so it can take a while for cycles to settle down. I was 7 weeks between the withdrawal bleed and getting a proper period

BOFOF - Buy one for a friend?

Right. I need help.

What is 2ww, and how does one know if cycle is too long?

BOGOFs, not BOFOFs.

Now thinking of silly things that BOFOF could stand for ... sounds like the kind of competition me and my nerdy friends might have had at school

Might get the Freshers to do one.

Sorry miffles. Bit of wishful thinking that term was 2 weeks further down the track than it is I reckon. I have spent the day trying and failing miserably to get mistaken for a student. They know I'm old

vallinna I'm betting that your drunken attempts at the kama sutra didn't put DH off. Once I had sex with (sober) DH and I was so drunk I don't remember it. I think he took advantage of me. He says it was more like the other way around

Don't wanna stir up trouble, but I just heard on the radio that first response tests are BOGOF at Boots...........

Oh no! I?ve caused a bad tooth/gum outbreak! Sorry everyone!

Hope you feel better soon Vallinna!

I'd join the OAS on facebook TTL

Tooth is a little better thanks, still on the liquid diet (soup not alcohol ) but generally feeling a lot better in myself, though the top wisdom tooth on the other side is quite sore but not infected thankfully!

Ha ha ha, Vallinna both on recreating the karma sutra and also to snoozing in the disabled loo. :) A good boozing session every now and then does no harm.

Thanks for the good luck for today, Takethat, although I am only going to work as usual! I appreciate the thoughts, but suspect you're meaning for my consultants appt. Not for another 2 weeks.

(instead of wink, I put [wino]. Although this may be true, it sounded a bit rude!! !)

Thanks takethat...I don't think I have stopped eating! Need to sleep so badly...the disabled loo is looking appealling.

Awful flashbacks to last night...I clearly though I was some sort of sex-goddess when I got home...had very noisy (possibly very bad!) sex where I believe I tried to recreate most of the karma sutra....oh the shame!

PS - only kidding about the OAS on facebook. Just realised that looked serious (and nuts).

Oh vallinna I feel your pain I've been there with the hangover accumulators and they are the worst.

I can recommend alka seltzer, McDonald's, exercise (especially as it's raining - it'll cool down your overheated head ), puke, sleep, puke again. In that order. Works a dream

Thanks ladies for the ovulation encouragement I'm going to start an Ovulation Appreciation Society on facebook. That way people can cheer when people with long cycles finally ovulate. Or at least people can poke me 'til I'm preggo.

Good luck today miffles. How's the tooth josie?

Oh josie you poor thing! Glad you have antibiotics!

Arses for all these long cycles.

I have spent the entire weekend (which started on Thursday night!) in a drunken stupor... I have consumed an obscene amount of booze this weekend for an alocholic, let alone a woman TTC...

I really do just want to die today

Morning,

Glad most viroids are back and accounted for, although vallinna still quiet. I hope she didn't assault the clinic staff and get herself locked up!

Brassica - you're right about seeing the doc but behind the times! I went back in June, have had tests, diagnosed with PCOS and referred to fertility consultant. Appt 12th Oct. So may join you in clomid - really hoping he will prescribe it there and then. Who is doing your prescription and monitoring? You seem to have got hold of clomid very quickly!

Hello all!
gah! At the AF and long cycle business. Fingers crossed for the stronger drugs brassica :)

I have been JS-ing every other day although I really wanted to just go to sleep last night. Think I ov'd yesterday but this time wasn't as painful as usual and boobs don't hurt yet so not really sure. I am teetering on the edge of the 2ww. I am getting really complacent about all of this... need. more. enthusiasm.

Yay Josie about your tooth. I'm in the same club as you. Nothing wrong in the tooth, just a niggley bit of gum where the gap is large so having to clean it very thouroughly. Sigh

Please Brassica don't wish a 2WW on me before I've even ov'd! Not feeling confidant this month. Prolly the JS free week hasn't helped. Roll on copius (sp?) but quiet JSing tonight!!!

Actually can't believe I'm typing this on my Dad's computer, so shall log back out and delete the history now me thinks.

Hi everyone, just caught up on all news. Glad your tooth is sorted Josie, and brass, sorry to hear AF has visited. Take That, well, if you haven't ovulated yet, you are still in with a shout this cycle!

Hello newbies!!

I have a sore tooth now - am blaming Josie as never have sore teeth. off to the dentists on Wednesday. I think I OVed this weekend, although we didn't get much JSing in - managed it Thursday night and Sunday morning, so if I oved Sat morning I think it will be over for this month. So annoying as we have been JSing like rabbits almost every other day this month (started off as SWI but then we began to enjoy it so it became JSing). However as haven't been doing OPKs I'm not really sure so let the JSing continue!

Morning everyone.

Been to dentist again this morning, my own this time, who said to keep going the way I'm going and if I have any more bother to go back, she didn't poke and prod it thankfully. So that's 2 successful and painless visits to the dentist in one weekend, I may have overcome my fear of them!

Wasn't up for much JSing over the weekend but made up for it this morning but does anyone know if there are any dangers of possibly getting pg while on antibiotics?

Sorry ERTD arrived Brassica and that you have to up clomid.

Sorry you're having a hard time too TakeThat, hope it's not a 60 day cycle!

SRS hope you're feeling a bit better, sorry ERTD got you.

Hugs and choccies for everyone (I can't eat them so you lot might as well have them! )
