The 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday. Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended)

Covet thy husband and enjoy every minute. Shag at ever opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Resist the lure of ovulation predictor kits, Taking Control of Your Fertility and the dreaded First Repsonse. Knowing where you are in your cycle is entirely permissible though!

Going to the doctor is permitted if you've had a stupidly long cycle but beware of the dildo-cam-scan.

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'.

Keep us up to date with gossip!

Although all most of these rules are well and truely broken!! But we try to chill - honest

:o thanks!
I told DH and he said something like 'crikey!' and looked all scared, pfftt! typical!
I'm going to get a digi this morning and then call docs.
I'm trying not to get excited because I've had some spotting and I'm just going to wait and see for a bit.
feeling a bit whah!bleurgh!ohmygod!hurray! all at the same time.

takethatlady · 14/10/2010 08:07

waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh milano! Grin Grin Grin.

Have some bunting, streamers, a glass of Schloer, and a big party from us!

Congratulations! Have you told DH or anyone else? What are you going to do? Have you done a digi yet?

milanomum · 14/10/2010 07:54

ERm.... well... I POAS this morning.

It's been a busy day on here! Hasn't anyone else been at work? Or can you all secretly MN from the office? I'm a teacher and I can just imagine what the Head would say if I were to venture on during the day. Or worse would be one of the kids hacking into my internet history and finding it. They are only 3&4, but some are rather tech-savvy!

Valinna I'm glad you got someone who could finally talk some sense. At least you are being taken seriously and there's a clear path ahead of you. For what it's worth, no-ne would be getting anywhere near my ovaries with a laser either!

TTL It was me worrying about not ovulating the other day, but it was more in a depressed grump than a serious worry sort of way. I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate last month, and the weird bleeding pattern I had sort of fits in with that. Then I got worried that I was having another month without ovulating, but it's only CD19 and as my cycles are tending to 35 days or so then it's a bit early anyway. But if I have another weird month spotting/bleeding wise I shall be straight down the Dr's.

Am shattered, and DH has just turned me down for JS saying he's too tired. It's not supposed to be that way round. Still, he's promised he'll try harder tomorrow. Confused

HarderToKidnap · 13/10/2010 22:02

One bit of brown discharge this pm. Nowt since. Boobs getting more tender but temps dropping.

Woo, vallinna!! That is an ace plan and I look forward to your exciting 2ww escapades! Also getting excited about Josie's POAS window...

vallinnapod · 13/10/2010 21:34

I have just taken my pill (as in mycrogyon) - feels like such a stupid thing to do!! Wonder if I have to do the whole 3 weeks? Seems so silly when I want the opposite! Even sillier that for the first 2 weeks of the treatment I'll be taking something to suppress ovulation - my ovaries will vanish if they suppress themselves any further!

I'd also hate to encourage peeing on anything but....!

BrassicaBabe · 13/10/2010 21:22

oooh, now there's a question. I don't want to whip up any madness as a BFN is no fun at all.

But if you fancy it POAS! Grin

OP posts:
milanomum · 13/10/2010 21:15

Shall i just poas anyway? just to rule it out as a possibilty add to the madness? :)

So glad you got some decent care for a change Vallinna and have come out of it feeling positive. There is now a plan, which can only be a good thing. Please don't go away!

It seems that writing down what I was thinking was enough to bring on the red fecker... well...I think it's here. I wish there was a tap you could turn on and it would just start instead of this headf*cking dribble (sorry if TMI Blush) so all that excitement was for nothing in the end... boo hiss once again.
I think we need famous people's hairstyles to compare Josie...
what about...this?

or
this?

P.S. furkling is a must for new thread!

Miffles · 13/10/2010 19:22

(and I agree, furkling must appear in the new title!)

Miffles · 13/10/2010 19:22

I love you guys!!! Have read, laughed, smiled and felt warm inside as I caught up on the tread - all 24 hours of it!!

Must now go out, but had to thank you all for your support and humour. Really do love each and everyone of my fellow JSers (yes, of course that still includes you, vallinna!)

Great news to have been heard Vallinna and please PIAR b2b and glad no bad news from BB and NMCB and glad to hear from TT and SRS and Nelly and and and ...Josie - cut it and enjoy it. And cremegg good to have you on board and sorry if I missed anyone. And I really must dash now...!!!

ATM back on the warpath about OPKs and Clomid. They worked for me

BrassicaBabe · 13/10/2010 19:04

Hoo-fecking-ray *vallinna!! V pleased you've got the top man on the case and that he sounds like someone you can work with. Very pleased that things are now moving! Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 13/10/2010 17:46

Vallinna Yay on finally finally having a definative course of action. Grin And yes of course you can stay!

Josie I have rediculously (sp?) thick and wavy hair and just LOVE having it above my shoulders. It really doesn't matter how well cut and layered it is when it's long, it just looks rubbish. I also finally found a Scottish hair dresser who actually listened to me when I said I don't use a straightner and actually like it to go curly (had the best hairdresser in Australia). Turns out 'beach hair' really suits me. and it's long enough to tie up when needed (know what you mean about the hair tie head ache). Soo, I definately give my vote for chop it off GrinGrin

vallinnapod · 13/10/2010 16:58

OK. deep breath ladies...had a doctors appointment that I have left feeling positive from. I know...!

So, turned up to find seeing yet another doctor. Couldn't have cared less really. one thing I wasn't fussy about was who I saw, just when. Turns out to be the ex-Medical Director of the clinic, and we didn't have to pay for the appointment...me thinks the complaining may not have fallen on deaf ears. He was also by far and away the best person we have spoken to so far. Very down to earth, let us chose the treatment options - honest about everything. Oh and he described ovulation hormones with the aid of a pear tree - we liked the insanity!

Any way, talked up through all the options, being:

  1. higher doses of clomid/letrozole - discounted due to my thin lining
  2. injectables - discounted in case of OHSS
  3. drilling - discounted as I really hated the sound of it versus the success rates after
  4. IVF

So, our first born will start out life in a plastic dish. Got to have a period induced again (ironically going back on the pill to do this!) and then the fun and games start with all the drugs....

....I realise I stopped counting as a just-shagger a while ago but can I stay?!

JosieSmith1 · 13/10/2010 16:00

DH and I always said that when I get pg we won?t tell many people until we reach the safe period, but loads of internet sites say you?re usually fine to tell people as soon as you conceive and make out that the ?risk period? is a myth, but then being on MN and talking to real people about their experiences, you realise that, actually, it can be as hard making a pg stick as it is to get pg in the first place, so you?re better off not telling people!

Thanks Brassica, the length of my hair is the problem at the minute! If I tie it up I get a headache (have neuralgia problems) but if I leave it down it gets on my nerves at work so I end up putting it behind my ears and over my shoulders but it starts flicking out and looks awful if I then let it fall back down, plus now that I have to muck out horsey before work it gets right in my face and ends up windswept and I look like cousin it when I go to work Grin Plus I have some very good pin-in extensions so when I go for a night out I can put them in and have long hair for the night, as I prefer it long for special ocassions, it?s just no longer practical for day to day life.

Milano I will be logging on first thing tomorrow to see your results of POAS!

B2B I hate when people stick their noses in like that! If they have kids it must have been easy for them as if they?d been through half of what some people on here have been through they would never be as insensitive to ask that. And if they don?t have kids, then they obviously have no idea how difficult and heartbreaking it can be. No further comment BiscuitGrin P.S. hope they?re pg symptoms not AF!

Well done Nervous! Thanks for the idea, but I fear if I have a POAS in the house I may pee on it, saying that, if I don?t have one, I may pee on the nearest thing resembling a stick GrinShock I am also having terrible trouble hiding my screen from senior admin. She?s lovely but does like to make sure work gets done (which it does by the way, I just happen to be more efficient than my colleagues and get all my work done early on)

BrassicaBabe · 13/10/2010 14:52

If it helps you 2ww'ers I got a BFN at 16DPO. So there is always hope until red fecker arrives!

OP posts:
NervousNelly · 13/10/2010 13:46

OMG Where to start? I go away for one day and we?re nearly on a new thread

So firstly miffles I don?t know whether to say boo or yeah for your appointment. Of course it?s rubbish that something is not quite right, but sounds like you are getting taken seriously and already have A Plan. This is good :)

Nomore and BB everything is still crossed for you both, all sounding good so far.

Vallinna thinking of you, hope you get the answer or plan you are looking for, whatever that turns out to be Confused

Josie you are being very restrained, though for the safety of your bladder, would it not be sensible to sneak the HPT into the house on Friday night Wink. Of course I realise the PIAR option is more interesting, what with the opportunity to eat the pudding first and all Grin

Harder and Milano - get peeing . What are you waiting for? We need someone to pee to keep us all sane remember! Oh and baby2b, surely you too?

cremegg - yeah indeed for Hump day!

takethat - arse flashing Shock. Whatever next! Love the bitching, the guy sounds like he was fair game to be honest. C*ck?.. Re your story on the news, that actually happened to a friend of mine, horrendous doesn?t begin to describe it. I think it hit her husband harder though, as she was fairly out of it with drugs (deliberately) but he had to watch the whole thing. Life is a bitch sometimes Angry.

SRS the member to which you refer is AttilatheMeerkat. I?ve not put that bit in bold...Personally not crossed ?-swords-? paths with her, but I?m sure it?s only a matter of time.

Who or what else did I miss? I?m reading on my iphone and typing on a word document, to disguise the fact I?m MNing at work! It?s very complicated Hmm

In Nervous land, 8DPO along with tt etc and bored of it all? Really no symptoms other than I felt very sick last night, but I had eaten a 3 course meal so not surprising. I was very much in the JS spirit over the last few days. We had sex, even though I was nowhere NEAR ovulation. I drank wine. I didn?t go on MN for a whole day (and am regretting it now, my wrists hurt from the typing Shock). I didn?t pee on anything, google anything, poke my boobs, examine my knickers, go furkling or think about baby names. For one whole day ? go me Grin

So ideas for the new thread name ? personally I?d like to see Furkling in the title, and maybe a sub-title of ?no kittens allowed?. Wink. Though that?s mean and not actually in the friendly fun spirit of the thread so perhaps we can leave that bit out!

Right now I need to open up MN on the monitor without the Senior Director sitting beside me noticing what I?m doing ?.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 13/10/2010 13:45

So many emotional viroids. It's a good thing I've been to the shop!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 13/10/2010 13:42

(Whispers to B2B, my symptoms kicked in about 8DPO...)

Grin's at Milano's nervous laughter, Brassica's AF hair and anything else I've been laughing at.

Wishes V'Pod's fanjo luck for the impending dildo cam (or is it just a talking appt?)

Can't believe how sore my tongue is. Almost to sore to talk! Had the most annoying trolley at the supermarket, it just wanted to go round in circles. I couldn't help thinking that the weight of DS and the shopping combined with dafty trolley couldn't be good for my tum. Bought knocked up on DVD to make up for it. Grin

takethatlady · 13/10/2010 13:26

baby2b this is the Official Rant Zone. No need to be Blush

Also, you can definitely get preg symptoms 10DPO. That's not to say AF isn't coming too though Grin (8DPO here, sore boobs, mild cystitis I can't seem to shake, and teary. Sincerely doubt I'm preggo though...)

baby2b · 13/10/2010 13:15

p.s. been asked twice this week 'when are you going to have a baby?' Angry

response: I love my holidays and nights out too much to be tied down with a baby

internal response: its been 8 months and an ectopic pg so mind your own f' business.

Sorry...rant over! Blush

baby2b · 13/10/2010 13:13

At work, so super quick post

'Symptoms to date': stomach ache, tired, moody, sore boobs, feeling sick yesterday morning, crying at the news and at two programmes..oh and telling my friend about the news story that made me cry.

All could mean AF...who knows? Don't think it is even possible to have symptoms 10 days post ovulation Confused Grin
