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

P.S. those grins should be shocked looking faces...not smileys!

Now another X-post with spareroom. You're not a bad person, you're a true JSer with that mentality!

(PS: in big news, nomorechoc and brassica are both, whisper it, probably, tentatively, up the duff :))

:( it's just one long worry isn't it? This ttc business is tough enough, but then until you are about 32 weeks you worry about whether it's sticking/healthy... it was the most stressful time of my life!

Huge hugs to miffles and vallinna good luck for future tests and trials.
brassica and nomore glad to see things are going ok with you both. fingers crossed!

josie I don't have thick hair, but I think it's easier to look after if it's long enough to put in a ponytail - don't do anything drastic!

HTK you sound just like me... I am actually now convinced I could be preganant. :o
I had some spotting around day 27 so, presumed it was the red fecker... but it's disappeared since. I have sensitive nips, have been feeling slightly nauseous at the thought of breakfast (but fine by lunch! :)), and have no signs of af. I have decided I'm going to poas tomorrow morning...
The problem is that because I was sure af was arriving, I went to a dental appointment and HAD AN X-RAY!! so now I'm bricking it. Even though Google has reassured me a little because a tooth-xray is miniscule and practically irrelevant. ARGH - I am stressing out and in denial... but I am officially late. :o

Vallina - missed your post there. I will be thinking about you.
Do let us know what happens.
Sending you a big hug.

Sorry, x-post with vallinna. Love and hugs to you :) What you say is so right. Whenever I've asked for advice on other threads people have often told me what their particular experience was as if that is the right thing for me, and quite often it hasn't been. If there's one thing I've learned through all this ttc-ing is that it takes months to get to know your body and what is and isn't normal for you - and when it comes to how you're feeling there probably is no such thing as 'normal'! If I couldn't come on here I'd go insane - with the chemical preg I got so fed up of having to respect the good intentions of well-intentioned people in RL who kept telling me it was sort of my fault for doing an early test, I wouldn't have even known otherwise - and sort of expecting me not to be upset because it wasn't really a real loss. I know they were trying to make me feel better so I didn't say anything, but the strain of being polite was horrible.

At least I could come on here and go wwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh - and know everybody else is doing the same in their own way and for their own reasons!

Right, going off to pull myself together now. Good luck to all going to the doctors and peeing on sticks, needlesly or otherwise ...

Hi there all!

Ive not read the huge backlog of posts because my bookmark thing is being arsy, so I've only read the last two pages so far -

miffles - admiring your positivity and your DH sounds lovely and supportive - fingers crossed that things start looking up now you are beginning to understand more about whats going on with you both.

Who is ATM?

What else big news have I missed? Fill me in girls.

As for me, I actually noticed when I ovulated this month - I got terrible period pain type pains and in lower back, felt hot and sweaty, and had tonnes of pant snot, and I mean tonnes. (TMI I know, but hey, who else can I tell)...But sadly, not much JSing; DH is stressed because of a family crisis hes had with parents, so JSing has been off the cards - but I cant remember if we JS'd the day before the crisis. I just may have missed that window though.
What a waste of a huge ovulation and all that pant snot. Im trying my best to not be pissed off (because it makes me feel so terribly guilty), but cant help feeling it inside.
Very selfish. Bad wife/daughter in law/whatever

Ha ha cremegg, I nicked that phrase off bb :). Shows that way too much furkling is going on in my life.

Poor you NMCB!

Am working from home and This Morning is on TV and there's a couple who had a baby die 29 weeks into the pregnancy and the woman gave birth naturally knowing the baby had already died. Holly Willoughby has lost it and is crying her eyes out. Now I am crying my eyes out ...

Baby-making, even when it isn't successful, turns you absolutely mental.

Miffles - that's the thing about MN, everyone thinks they know what is best. Hang 10 with us, all the neurosis hear will have you feeling sane in no time. I know all you want is info and answers from people in the same position but as I have learnt you tend to hear everything you don't need to - all be it in the nicest intentions. If it's any consolation my DH's sperm is borderline (due to pretty much every social aspect of his lifestyle I assume!) Huge hugs.

Thanks for the luck ladies. Feel sick. As in nerves...I am dreading coming out with no progress. Am trying to manage my own expectations. What is 'best case scenario'? I think either coming out booked on to an IVF programme or maybe just trying to induce ovulation with the injections? The thought of doing that and 'missing the moment' or DH's two headed, bent tailed sperm not getting there are too much really.

Appt at 2 - been clock watching since 8:30

Brassica I'm sure I will be able to fulfil that POAS mentalness soon

Is anyone on here a hairdresser? I'm thinking about a drastic change of style (from long to short) but with thick hair I'm not sure what style would suit it

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed we're fast running out of thread.

I managed to bite my tongue quite badly this morning. So now I feel sick and sore. Still have thrown up yet though Will probably talk with a lisp all day now.

Have decided I don't know you in RL cremegg. I only know a couple of people from Adelaide and they are either in Melbourne or Dublin. good to see the JS mentalness is so far flung though

Waves at everyone before preparing to brave the cold fog outside.

HTK it must be hard having to deliver babies when you?re trying yourself Hope your body sorts itself out soon and gives you some decent signals (of a BFP type )

B2B fingers crossed for you too, I will slap you with the kipper if you will slap me (ERTD due friday)

Was listening to the radio this morning and they asked people to ring in and tell them about a moment that made them say ?wow? and a woman phoned up and said she just found out she?s pg. I turned the radio off

Miffles I have to admit that even when ERTD has arrived last couple of months I have thought that, seeing as it was really light, maybe I was pg, despite BFNs!

Thanks TTL, and PMSL at arse-flashing! My Mam once opened the door to the postman in her dressing gown (nothing else) but didn?t realise she hadn?t buttoned it and was flashing him as she signed for her parcel poor bugger never came back Sounds like your new work colleague is a t**t so bitch about him all you want I say, if he can dish it out he can take it back

Cremegg I know what you mean about being on contraception and thinking one missed pill will get you up the duff!

Had my first early morning yard duties this morning so been up since 6am and knackered already! It?s gonna take a while to get used to this routine again.

takethat... lmao at 'leftovers' hehehe! and that colleague sounds like a bit of a kn*b to be fair so wouldn't worry about bitching, it's human after all!

yay to BB and NMCB :o

hugs to miffles, DH sounds fab for being so calm and supportive.

I must confess to POAS today (obv -ve!)... lol as think I might have ov'd last Tue (more of a convenient theory tho as we were camping over mid cycle and, well, JS on airbed?! no!) but really not sure tbh and also due ERTD tomorrow anyway! I am just so impatient, and using contraception for a decade really does make you feel like with just one 'shot' it'll happen!

Few, think I started to over obsess then!! Sorry ladies!!

How are you all? Weds eve here now so :o:o:o to hump day!
CE

Hey viroids,

Woah! I miss a day and it's all go. Will try to remember what I can from what I've read. brassica glad the bleeding has stopped and that you and NMCB are both still preggo. Yay for the First Response choc - I knew it had to have a purpose beyond turning us crazy. Sounds like both your little blighters are sticking [fingers crossed and double crossed :)]

eskarina I think it's you who is worrying you're not ovulating. Get down to a doctor and we can be test buddies next cycle (if I ever ever ever get my period. Day 57 here, 8DPO). miffles I think it was me who got the super pant-snot twice in a month. But the first time I think it was actually just, , 'leftovers', if you know what I mean ;) Slightly embarrassed about this! How are you feeling after your appointment now? You must have felt totally shocked - I hope you feel like there's a plan of action for moving forward now. Brassica's right - she did it with her DH's 6% morphology (whatever that is ) and Clomid assistance - you'll get there.

vallinna good luck today :)

josie, again this is sterling work on the 2ww. Forgetting days???!!!! I have to restrain myself from adding them on! Looking forward to your trolley dash on Saturday...

Haven't flashed my arse at anyone else ... did go for drinks with new colleagues and join in bitching session about one of them who wasn't there (to be fair, he asked me why I was wearing make-up because it was 'pre-feminist' of me, costs me time and labour and proves I've been sucked in by a capitalist myth, and is usually worn by women who are trying to mask psychological disorders. He also said to my old PhD supervisor, in front of me, 'I love this girl, she's so ignorant I can tell her anything'.) Still. Prob shouldn't have bitched 6 weeks into the job . Especially as I'm going to have to sod off on maternity leave (if I EVER get pregnant)...

Right, who said the thread originator deserves to get upduffed? Is it time for a new thread yet?

x-post. MMCB - I so noticed that too!! It was hilarious!! Kitten had typical pg symptoms, and ATM was going for it with the "visit the specialist gynae doc" that only exists for her. And Kitten was just pg!!! Ha ha ha!!! Thanks for the reminder!!

Thanks again you guys. :) BB - ICSI is certainly a possibility...good to hear it progresses quickly.

Harder remind me why you're sure you're not pg? Surely if you're late, that is hopeful?

And b2b - it sounds like a poss with you too...although still early days. Go on, share your symptoms with us!! Even if only so we can have a chuckle!

Sounds like we have an exciting week coming up with testing.

I said I was going to PIAR this morning - and you know what my symptom was? Well...let me start by saying heard lots of people still bleed when pg...so despite being pretty sure I have never ovulated...and keep bleeding...and have NO other symptoms...cos my tummy is fat, I thought maybe I was growing a baby in there!!!! I did come to my senses and haven't done it, but it was close!!

Oh go on B2B snd Harder. POthoseS first thing in the morning. Go on do it!!! (evil laughter)

I had to laugh at ATM going onto Kitten's thread (before she came here) and gave her a big rant about needing to go to the Dr if you have late periods as there is probably something wrong etc etc. The girl just needed to POAS!

Hugs Miffles, ATM petrifies me...she lacks anecdotes and just slaps you with a kipper full of 'facts'.

Harder our bodies are a little mean with us aren't they? Since I started ttc 8 months ago? I had a cycle like clock work, this month late ovulation and no af.....ok its only one day missing in action, but it's amazing how many symptoms you makeup notice in a day!

Someone prepare the kipper as I might turn into a nightmare if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow. Ramekin and sticks at the ready. Target: not to poas for another four days (if no sign of AF).

Things are sounding so positive here!! BB I am shock and awe at your patience, waiting until Monday for an appointment. Are you anywhere near SW London? If so, you can walk in to SGH in Tooting and have an early scan.

Delivered a beautiful baby today, lovely relaxed home waterbirth sigh

Well, I am feeling confused. AF never did come. A little brown discharge Sunday night, a little Monday, nothing today. I have decided that if nothing by Friday then I will have to test but I am a little annoyed beceause I know I am not pregnant so why does my body keep getting my hopes up like this?

Thanks NMCB!! I do wonder what her agenda is....is that mean? I say yes to that BFP!!

PS - please could I borrow some of your DH's super sperm? Oh, and anyone who ovulates....who was it that had super pant snot twice in the month? Can i have an egg?

ATM seems to be on some kind of crusade. Just ignore her. You'll get the encouragement you need soon enough. Pfft, you'll get a BFP soon enough!!!
