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

Howdy viroids.

Lol about the waste of FMU. Didn't think how silly that would sound, but glad of eskarina's support! I did look forlornly down the toilet truffkin - how did you know? I also caught myself near the end and tried to grab the ramekin. But I was out of time.

brassica I'm with you on the googling, the stick-peeing, and all else. I'm sure we've been on this 2ww for about a hundred god damn years.

Loving the height conversation. What a bunch of randoms we are!

Sorry to hear your DH is playing up josie. Sometimes the head-on, 'come on, I want a shag' approach works best I find

Right. I have finished writing my god-damn-fucking-pain-in-the-arse of a book. I call it a book, but it's an academic book, which means I've spent six years of my life doing it and about six people will read it . But the fucking thing is FINISHED. I am off home and I expected to be greeted with wine, dinner, and a very erect penis

Omg, I am 5'10 ...so slightly above average. My DH is 6'4, so we are probably going to have a baby giraffe!

I'm 5'5 and feel short most of the time, but DH is only 5'5 (and a little bit) so if I were any taller I'd feel like I was towering over him.

So, I just tested when I got in from work. BFN, although I've been glaring at it for a while trying to will a line to appear and wondering how long after 3 minutes I can count anything that did appear. I'm now on CD 31 and my average is 30 days, though have had anything from 27-37.

Afraid I sympathise with the waste of FMU. I woke up desparate for the loo and went without thinking this morning. Then wanted to test when I was more awake and was totally unable to pee. Of course, I needed to go as soon as I got to work. V annoying.

Yeah Truff we?ve agreed plenty of shnuggles tonight and he asked if I wanted them in bed and said wink wink so think he?s got the idea Hopefully once we get back into the schwing of things his libido will increase. It used to be through the roof when we first started dating so I?m sure it can come back. Will have to help him find his inner sex god

Nickel that makes you a giant compared to me and my whole family! My Granda nicknamed us ?the who the hell are we tribe? as we?re so small no-one can see us through the long grass (he told stories about living in the jungle and rescuing Nana from jungle cats, hence the long grass). Makes no sense to me!

i'm 5'8" - does that make me average height?

(sorry, nothing more interesting to sayat the minute, but i wanted you all to know i've not disappeared! )

Hi de hi viroids and a very happy Tuesday to you all. It's taken me an age to catch up with everyone's news so I must remember not to take such an extended break again!

Nell your hols sound fab and make me want to book up right now for our next one. We were in Marbella in June for a friends' wedding, which was great and we're going to Ireland for a huge family get together in November. We've also agreed that when we get pregnant we will book a relaxing holiday for the second trimester as a kind of last adult holiday for a while (any excuse!)

Brassica seriously lady, step away from the pee sticks! You must be driving yourself crazy. You still have a few days so there is hope and I am keeping everything crossed.

TTL I'm so sorry to laugh at your misfortune but the thought of you standing in your bathroom, folornly looking down at a toilet full of FMU made me actually LOL. Looking forward to your update tomorrow

Josie sorry to hear you are struggling with your DH again sweetness, although not sure confronting it after a skinful is the greatest idea could you plan in a proper chat to tell him how you feel at some point to give him time to gather his thoughts first? I know you mentioned your libido increased after coming off the pill and I had a similar reaction to having my implanon removed. It took DH a good month to get used to my new style of jumping him at every opportunity after getting by on once a week (twice at the very most) beforehand

Crow sorry to be late in on this one but am so at your experiences over the last few days with the medical profession. It's really not acceptable at all, especially at a time when you should be getting as much support as possible. Here, have a from me

Vallinna I hear you about the crap day from a work perspective, although agree with the others and glad you made your feelings known about the clinic. I've had a bit of a run in with the union national chairman today, it left me feeling really pissed off for a while. SPoke to DH at lunchtime on the phone and he's cheered me up though, bloody work sometimes!

to everyone else, 2 days in now viroids, we're almost half way to the weekend!

So I believe I am now 3 DPO and we JSed Mon, Wed, Thur, Sat and Sun last week so am hoping to have covered all bases (although this could be either 2 or 4 or something entirely different as I'm assuming my cycles are now regular). In the interests of going mental sharing, I was very sick on Saturday night after drinking copious amouints of alcohol (although I'm not normally a sickly drunk) have aching in my lower back (maybe slept funny), am dog tired (heavy weekend) and felt nauseous this morning (I did get up earlier than usual, which could answer that one)

Have no idea if this is far to early to have any symptoms and as I don't get any pre-AF warning signs, I won't know for sure until it arrives. My iphone app tells me that AF is due on 2nd October so will spend the next 2 weeks convincing myself I'm duffered staying calm and then cry look forward to the next cycle when AF arrives

In other news, I am 5' 7'' so joining the above average height gang and am attempting an interesting spanish chicken dish for dinner tonight so wish me luck!

Oh and did I mention I saw the pope on Sunday?

Josie you wee thing you! Glad your bloke has been making encouraging sounds and is not getting cold feet!
brassica I live 800kms away from my in-laws and in a whole other country from my own family - i'm sure that's why I love them all so much [winks]

Remember ladies going completely mad on the 2ww - it aint over till the fat (red) lady sings!

Yes we've had this chat before. He's definitely up for it, even got upset when he admitted when he saw other pg couples as he wished it was us. Jst been home for lunch and had a good chat and he thinks he doesn't satisfy me!

He's been under a lot of work pressure and he said he just doesn't have much of a drive at the minute but is adament that he still fancies me so I might attempt to seduce him tonight.

Nelly, I hate you. You are on your hollibobs reading chicklit. You witch.

Josie, didn't you have a similar problem last month? Is he definitely up for this TTC lark?

I'm 5'6" so more normality here

Bleeding now seems to have disappeared again, so now even more matched to google's description of implantation. I'm calm, honest. Oh and drank half a litre of local red last night . No other symptoms though, other than overheating; but that might be the 27 degrees and the fact I'm lying outside in it ? . Is my body playing tricks on me just because I'm abroad and can't test. :( Should I be sensible and keep off the booze now? Or continue in denial?

Just nipped back to the room to swap chick-lit. Just finished all 800 pages of Anna Karenina, which was very good (and I realise a bit more high-brow than your average beach read)! So to keep life in total balance, am about to start the latest Shopaholic . Which may have me reaching for gallons of gin, as the first chapter I just read put me right off children .

I have no idea HTK! Offered myself up on a plate last night but he wasn't interested and actually had a go at me! Either he's getting it somewhere else or he doesn't fancy me anymore! Either way I will be confronting him tonight after I have been to the pub with mate

It was a great opportunity for no strings attached JSing, but sadly wasn't to be, even after I cooked a gorgeous meal and set up the table all romantic like!

Has he Josie? Why?

JSed last night, twas lovely. So much more relaxed this cycle with the fricking OPKs (having said that I am only CD11 so plenty of time to go bonkers).

PMSL

I am only 5'2! Hate being so small but my friends aren't much taller and DH is only 1/2 inch taller so not much of a problem. Mam is only 4'10 bless her! I feel like a giant when we go out!

I have horrendous toothache today - wisdom tooth coming through, is killing me!

And JSing will probably not happen this month as DH appears to have decided to live a life of celibacy!

Oh, sorry Takethat! Must have got confused somewhere down the line. Sorry for BFN but yippee for shorter cycle!

Sorry for your BFN too Brassica

Oh god Crow that is absolutely disgusting!

Sorry you had a crappy day Vallinna

Hope everyone is feeling better today?

Whoops, cross-posted with someone of normal height

Nope, we are a bunch of short arses. Maybe that's why we're so mental relaxed.

Oh brassica I'm sick of sticks, aren't you? This morning I woke up knackered, but the thought of peeing in a ramekin got me excited enough to drag myself out of bed (I just polished off a jar of nutella so I have a lovely new container). Then I went into the bathroom and totally forgot and wasted all my FMU down the toilet. Now I have to wait another day to get a BFN

On the plus side, I'm finishing six years of work today. Vodka beckons ...

Brassica from someone who doesn't test positive until well after AF due date has been and gone, step away from the pee sticks!!!

Right logging myself out of MN before leaving DH alone with the computer for a week. He does not need to spend his time reading about all this!!!

Are there really no other viroids over 5'4? I feel all tall and giantish now.

Vallinna and crow, sorry you are having shit days. I prescribe G&Ts for everyone (trust me, I'm a midwife)

I'm thinking about last cycle and my horrendously achey boobs from day 21 onwards. As it turned out I wasn't upduffed, I thought perhaps it was imaginary. But I've just done a fair bit of pokidge and they are completely fine - I KNOW I wasn't imagining it, they fucking hurt! And they have never done that before, and it was for so long, well over a week. What does it meeeeeeeaaaaannnnnnn, viroids.

(Nothing of course, I know. But it's so infuriating when your body decides to do random stuff when you are TTC).
