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

thanks Josie :) just waiting for OH to get home from work so I can cry on his shoulder, lol!

Oooh I also have a cold beer on the go too ... proper comfort

Aw, sorry you're having a sy day Crowette. It sounds like you've got it sorted though with the chips, choccy and snuggles

Hope you feel better tomorrow

got AF this morning :( woke up at 4.40am needing to pee badly - nothing there then. Got up at 6am for work, and there it was. Bloody poxy buggery bollocks!! Been crampy all day to remind me she's there, had a crap day at work - stepped down from my supervisory role a few weeks back because I didn't want the stress with TTC, so they've changed my hours, dropped over 10 a week and given me extra workload!! I very nearly walked out, told the young girl who's taking over from me to fuck off if she thinks I can do 2 jobs in one afternoon!

So here I am at home - in my dressing gown, waiting for chips to cook (having a mountain of chip butties!) and a huge bar of dairy milk in my handbag for later - snuggled up watching a film with OH and a hot water bottle for my tum.

Poo.

PMSL Takethat!

I am of course now sitting at my desk prodding the end of my nose and my lips and comparing the differences! Might have to go furkling myself tonight

I know! I don't know. I do go furkling around in there from time to time, to use JS terminology, but I don't know what I'm looking for! Apparently it's low and like the end of your nose (in terms of density!) at non-fertile times, and high and like your lips at fertile times!

I guess that means that pant snot really does mean your fanjo has sneezed.

Sorry if TMI and for my ignorance, but I was reading on another forum whilst googling creamy thick discharge {blush}(try getting away with looking that up on a work computer ) that people were noting how high their cervixes were?! How the (bleep) do you measure that! Do you have to have exceptionally long fingers

Ooh cowboy I think I can manage that! Congratulations - you must be ning from ear to ear :)

How has DH reacted? Are you telling people?

I would say in the JS spirit and it my (now x3 positive tests) are anything to go by have one month with no symptoms at all, think you have missed 'the window' wait for AF, get tremendiously drunk, buy shag pants for the next cycle and have Starbucks everyday with a double shot!!

I think that seams to do the trick!

I too have thought deeply about the announcement - I was thinking about getting mugs for Christmas "Grandad" "Grandma" etc cringe.

Managed not to test this morning. 11DPO here. Have been getting horrible AF-type cramps which I usually get only on third or so day of period, so don't know what that is about. Perhaps AF is on the way??

Calm. Zen. Que sera sera. Holding out for a Sunday test!

It's so hard to resist Milano, I know how you feel! Be strong

...but i would really love to...

Here I am trying not to get excited about upcoming POAS next friday and trying desperately not to symptom spot, and you all go getting my hopes up

Don't you know I turn into an obsessive compulsive POAS-er from 4 days before ERTD due until it actually arrives!

Not going to poas until wed! not feeling any symptoms so not hopeful :(

ok, so i didn't read page 8 of the thread...doh!

I didn't tell anyone we were ttc or that i was pregnant until i was 3 months gone! I was just so terrified that something would go wrong and being the first grandchild for my parents it just seemed like such a responsability. i did get pregnant the month after we started trying though so it wasn't that long to wait!

Lot's of people ask me if I'd like another kid and I made the mistake of saying that yes, we'd like another kid and if it happens then it happens... but that was a few months ago so people start raising their eyebrows if i refuse a drink/coffee/say i feel ill/wear a baggy shirt and it's driving me mad!

I lkie the idea of the cards 'truffkin' - even if it wasn't Christmas you could still send little stork cards to people saying "you're going to be an uncle" etc. I wanted to send a box to my parents with a little pair of booties in it but in the end I just told them on the phone (we don't live in the same country).

I didn't test with my dh. I was at work and i only tested because I had a dental appointment and thought i should check but didn't actually think i'd be pregnant :)

Thanks Brassica. I?m about 8/6 DPO and normally have nothing round about now so I?m a bit confused!

Good luck Takethat

Ooh brassica I'm up for the testfest. We had one back in May and it's taken this long for my cycles to catch back round!

I'm thinking of going for Wednesday 22nd September. I'll either have to do it at 6.30am when I get up or 8.30am when I get to work. Not to be over-organised or anything!

milanomum, POAS!

Oooo, I hope so Milano, will find out next fri hopefully, as I try my hardest not to google implantation signs until then Be strong in not POAS! How many DPO can you test if you don;t have regular cycles?

PSML at takethat - love that you woke up in clothes you don't remember putting on

cowboy ... ooooohhhhh! (contains excitement)

Josie... I'm thinking implantation maybe?!:)

brassica :( at your meltdown but glad dh 'sorted' you out and temps are up. One of the reasons I haven't got into the whole opk yet is because i'm the type who would go completely mad and get all obsessed. All this 'knowing' stuff can cause more grief than good if you ask me. Although I tell you if AF arrives this weekend I'll be straight on the internet to get them [impatient face].

13 days dpo...
I will not poas
i will not poas
i will not poas...

I think it?s a great idea Truffkin, I don?t like being in the limelight either so it?s a good idea. For me I think it means more to me telling my Mam than in laws as they?ve got 5 grandkids already but there?s no-one on my side so extra special for us. Me and DH have agreed to only tell certain people when it happens, like my best mate, who I would probably turn to if something went wrong so I would be ok telling her if I had early mc, whereas telling my Mam (again, has happened before) would be horrific so I won?t tell her until the safe period.

If I told Mam I had something to tell her she?d guess straight away so I want to get our first scan, then tell her I have something to show her, then say ?meet your grandchild? as I show her the scan.

I need some opinions please, definitely didn?t imagine the pains yesterday as I have them again today, nothing major, very slight pains that I usually get at ov time, and I?ve got creamy, sticky discharge (sorry if TMI). Any ideas what this could mean? This is my third month off the pill and have been regular as clockwork the other 2 months with nothing like this happening.
