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

Just checking in to wish everyone a fun fun fun week ahead and especially NMCB and Brassica in getting down to GP tomorrow. Our surgery is quite good, but I know that even just getting and appointment at some is a nightmare. Fingers crossed for you both.

Hello lovely ones! I'm back and our two super-shaggers nomore and brassica have re-enthused me! I've had a bit of spotting so def almost CD1 for me so BRING IT ON!

Vallinna so sorry you've had such shit treatment and have been suffering as a result. It's not on - it's not as if anyone TTCing isn't already going through enough stress and worry without adding all that crap!

Hi Cremegg Don't you dare go and get pregnant straight away... although you sound lovely, so maybe we'll forgive you

HTK Looks like we'll be going through the 2ww together this month. Can we have a symptom competition? Can we?! I was just thinking about how fat I'm getting too - I porked out a bit over the summer and of course I thought " but there's no point in losing it, I'll be pregnant soon" but if this goes on for another 6 months I'll be massive, so I have to stop. sigh. I have no willpower.

nomore and brassica hope things are going ok with you two - hope the docs do their job tomorrow nomore and bb you should get yourself down there too for an early scan to put your mind at ease.

Well I was getting quietly excited as AF hasn't arrived and she was due today (and I should have started a bit of spotting on Friday). Just having a discussion with DH about testing tomorrow morning, went to loo and there she was. Just a faint brown discharge but I know she's coming.

However, it does mean I an drink myself silly on my Egypt holiday! And when I get back I AM going to start exercising and eating a little better (and drinking a little less!). I am getting fat.

Helllloooooooo?

aww Vallinna hope the hangover wears off soon. Is there no-one at these clincs you can shout at to get something done? Or yet another one you can try? It seems shocking that they can get away with treating you like this.

Hi cremegg and welcome. I bought a set of cheapie tests from ebay last week. I too am pretending to be all cool and calm, and insisting that it's a sensible thing to have around, and not desparately waiting until I can justify peeing on one

lol at all these DHs and their perception of their super sperm. My DH glared at my midriff yesterday after JS and demanded to know if I could feel them in there, and whether they were doing anything! Well, no dear, I can't, and even if I could, that bit is my ribcage, the uterus is somewhat lower. I think I need to give him a biology lesson!

cremegg no insensitivity at all! That is the bestestest thing about this thread. We have ups, downs, insantities but we are all in the same boat and 'get it' about not giving a damn while completely giving a damn welcome to the madhouse!!

My lovely viriods thank you for all your support. This is a great place to come, let it all out and not be judged, just kind, kind words which mean a lot.

Brassica we hear all about your DH's super sperm but your fabulous eggs (really tried to find an 'e' word but was at a loss!) have been 50% of the equation every month! You don't have any going spare do you

I am off to eat my way through a hangover xxxx

aww thanks for the warm welcome ladies :o
I live in Adelaide, good vineyards ;)
hope you all had good sat nights and not too many hangovers?! Good luck for tomorro Nomore.
I was v rock and roll last night and stayed in and watched Michael MacIntrye's road show (from 2009?!- tho pmsl)
Currently avoiding doing work that I should be doing, it's back to school here tomorrow, boo!
I cracked today and bought cheapy pg tests for nxt week... hubby checked price and was reasonably happy with $8 for 3..! (4 quid so prob crap) Trying to be casual and ignore the box tho... think I will go distract myself further with mint choc bar callin me from kitchen.

Laughing at NMCB's DH super sperm!! Glad you and BB are hanging around for a bit longer. I can only imagine that the next couple of weeks will be quite tense for you both. We're here for you as much as we can be. Rave and rant as much as you need to. And good idea to both visit the docs on Monday.

Lunch with grandparents and family ok. Always a bit odd, but survived. Very glad to get back home again to my house with a lit fire. Settling down for some proper telly watching tonight.

Have Josie and baby2b been around? Can't look back or I'll lose this post, but don't remember hearing much from them recently. Hope all our viroids are ok...

No surprises for him (such modesty!), but very cautious. He want's me down at the drs first thing on Monday.

Wow Viroids, what a lot can happen in 24 hours!

Huge congrats to Brassica and NoMore I'm really, really excited for you. Will join in with the others in crossing everything for you guys for the next few weeks until things are more settled. How did your DH's react to the good news?

Vallinna so sorry things are rubbish for you at the moment. Poor service always gets my back up but when it's for something so emotional it's even more inexcusable. I've got as much chocolate and alcohol as you can manage here for cheering you up!

Welcome Eggy and let's hope you've brought good luck with these BFPs. Miffles drunken posting was amusing and I'm impressed you escaped without a hangover today. Finally, LOLing at 'doing a kitten' !

nomore cross posted. I am highly amused, and indeed heartened, by the fact ghat the stealth sex did the job .

Oh and TT, I think miffles has to compete with you for funniest post, as the story about you ripping your tights off and tripping over them on the stairs, in a seductive manner [wink ] was pretty fucking hilarious!!!

Ohh, Brassica How did your DH react to his dinner 'side dish'?

Doing a Kitten! Love it! Welcome cremegg you've joined at an exciting time!

vallina you have been on the receiving end of some truly shocking customer service. If it wasn't all so personal and private, it'd be on watchdog. But I guess that is your point about vulnerable women. And you're PAYING for it. It Sucks . I agree with takethat on how strong you are; and the party we'll throw you!

miffles no hangover, wow! Wanna swap livers? I was a bit vague about my tests, the 10 number referred to the level it detects, but it doesn't indicate no of days before you are due, just says "ultra early".

Takethat thank god I don't have to shove it up my arse. Yuck yuckity yuck.

Sorry Vallinna. Totally didn't mean to blank you just now!! It sucks that you consultants are still mucking you around. It's utterly utterly crap basically.
But if Brassica can get her ovaries into line and manage a BFP, your turn will come. Sooner rather than later I hope.

Hmm not sure I like the idea of sharing my DH's swimmers around....

Absolutely PMSLing at you Miffles!!! BTW this is the result of a stealth shagf thank you very much! can't get much more JSingish than that!

Would people please STOP mentioning staplers and fanjos (specifically mine!) Ow ow ow!

G'day Cremegg! Welcome and make yourself comfy. Which part of Aussie are you in? I'm a Kiwi in Britain, but used to live in OZ.
Love the term 'doing a Kitten'. (feeling bad I suggested she join us here!).

Looking forward to the Mifflesesk drunken posts later TTL

Have been to Superdrug and bought myself some vitamin B6 to help make this one stick. Couldn't sleep last night because my brain was a horrid mix of nausea and worry and excitment. The next 2 weeks are going to be worse that the 2WW! So if you don't mind shall be hanging about here for a bit, until I know it's safe to move on.

BB and NMCB I am just...wow!!! YAY!!!!!
BB let me give you some advice. Go and see your GP and say you are six weeks pregnant (which, at 30dpo you are) and have had x positive tests and you have been bleeding over the weekend. Keep it simple. Do not tell them the ins and outs of you thought you were on a period but it was short and then bleeding again and then more Clomid etc etc or s/he will think you are just having a CP or whatever. They should be referring you to an EPU for scan early next week.

Oh my god I haven't been able to post for a couple of days and look what's happened!! Newbies, BFPs, drunken posting - this thread's got it all!

Right, first things first. vallinna I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time. I hope being able to talk about it on here might help just a little tiny bit, although I know it's not going to make much difference until you get your BFP. But there are so many routes for you to go down yet, and although they'll be stressful, there's every chance that you'll get there. I hope your DH is looking after you and that you've got lots of real life support. You are one amazing viroid and there is going to be a hell of a party on this thread when you get a proper appointment get your BFP :)

miffles those are some of the funniest posts EVER on this thread! I love it I especially loved it when you realised you weren't getting it right but clearly didn't know how to fix it :) Got friends over today and the wine's all ready to go. I'll try not to MN later

nervous PMSL about the JSing. I am JSing in name but totally NOT in nature (as brassica knows ;)). Don't stick the thermometer up your arse lol! I do mine underneath my tongue as far back as I can push it. As long as it's the same time every day you're fine. There will be little variations every day but you need to see one big shift to higher temps during the cycle. Fourth day of high temps for me yip f*ing yip. Defo expecting a 64 day cycle.

And finally, brassica and NMCB WTF??????!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! You have well and truly NOT 'done a kitten' (loving that phrase cremegg) - you've put WORK into this BFP and it has made my morning seeing that you are both preggo! You give me hope that problems with ovulation and chemical pregnancies can all be overcome. HOwever, having donated days in the cycle-sharing scheme, I now propose that NMCB's DH donates his turbo-sperm to all us struggling viroids. Heck, he should market it! Honestly ladies, a huge congratulations. I hope the bleeding is just normal brassica - I'm sure it is.

No news from me except for a thousand rule breaks. Gonna crack open that wine and commiserate with vallinna, who needs cheering up, and celebrate with all our knocked up viroids :)

And another crossed post from me....super insensitive!!

Vallinna- you had one hell of a crappy day. Im so sorry that this all happens to you. Can you stick your fingers up at it all for a week or two and have a holiday? Not because I'm saying to need to relax to conceive, as that's bollocks!! But so that you can have a break from it all.

Your clinics do sound atrocious. Well done for saying about vulnerable women. There may be others who don't know how to speak their minds.

Welcome Cremegg. Love the name! Sounds like you'll fit right in here

Morning! I am up and in my right mind without a hangover. My ovaries might be crap but my kidneys do a fine job!!

Though reading back over those posts was amusing

Ok....confession....this is probably becuase reading and posting was the last thing I did before bed, but I dreamt I got a BFP. And I was a mixture of BB bleeding but still getting a positive, and NMCB being at pilates telling the instructor I was pg. Woke up very disappointed....but DH was in a playful mood, so I thought I might as well keep trying!!!

Nervous - loving your Amazon purchases!! So JSing!! No idea about where to stick your thermometer, though agree that rectal would NOT be fun first thing! Ow. ow. I wouldn't rely on your cheapie early tests as early as 10 before AF. Mainly cos with a standard 14 day 2ww, that'd be today and surely 4DPO is WAY to soon! Even for us lot!!

Through the post this morning I had a letter from the hospital. The fertility clinic are "trying to imporve their service" and have sent a full questionnaire for us to fill in before we go on Tue. Am very encouraged by this. Both the idea that they are trying to improve the service and that they're collecting lots of info first. That means I'll have more time to grill the consultant with questions!! Also at the top it asks my occupation. I can therefore indicate that I work for the hospital trust, and they often are nicer to you!!

I echo what BB said about kitten. Am slightly ashamed cos it isn't a nice thing to feel. But am truely delighted two of our own have get tentitive BFPs. Even if they weren't obtained through true JSing!! Glad to hear you'll be sticking around for a bit longer.

Gotta get washed and dressed. Am going to my grandparents 80th birthday celebrations at noon. Wish me luck!

sorry valinnapod, I didn't see you msge before I posted (was going back and forward from email trying to activate a/c.) Didn't mean by first post on here to appear insensitive, sounds like a rotten day.

Hi all, hope you don't mind another newbie?! I joined MN a while back to look for TTC info, and only just saw the inbox symbol to get to these forums.

Have had a good read of yours and been LOLing (which is making hubby look up from his fishing mag (!) in a questionning manner...should also mention laptop is turned away from him as I think he will think I am obsessed..!...I have been (in his words) 'taking advantage of him' a bit this week!)

Have been TTC for a month, not really got head around Ov times yet... and went camping over days 12,13,14,15 of my cycle! Romantic..! So very unlikely I will be 'doing a kitten'.

Anyway hope all are good, and loving the positive news at the end of this chat :o

Should also mention I'm a Brit living in Aus so posts may be random times.

CE x

Oh brassica and NMCB so, so excited, happy and crossing everything for you both. Fantabulous news that has really cheered me up.

Very, very down about everything yesterday. Should have felt really positive as went to GP for sexual health check and bloods that the fertility place require. Then got a letter from our first clinc with over £100 outstanding balance - which in fairness we did owe but we left there 2.5 months ago and I specifically asked if we had cleared our bill. Cue argument number 1. Then vet email from current clinic reminding us we owe them £155,which is for the scan I am refusing to pay for as they kept me waiting for over an hour. They are still to get back to me on the progress of my complaint so this is the 4th or 5th time I've had to explain it. I then get a call from them telling me that my appointment in 12th has been moved. OK, so to 13th but at that point I completely lost it. Burst into tears. At work. Had to sit in the loo for 20 mins whilst I cried and then tried to deredify my face. Rang them back, told them their service was appalling and that I wished I was in a position to stop it all but that I wasn't, that they were trading off women's desperation and vulnerablity. Sent home, saw DH and burst into tears. All in all not great.

Want to say 'fuck it all' but I am not going to get PG without help :(

Hahahaha miffles that post is hilarious. Hope the hangover isn't too bad

BB awww thanks! I'm glad you are sticking around for a bit, but only if it's for the company! In the nicest possible way, I hope you bugger off to the grads thread soon . I can totally understand your reluctance to get excited, and you too no more. I think milano's staple suggestion is an excellent one. Seen as I'm in the 2ww and OH is away anyway, I'm even going to keep my legs crossed for you both

Also, yes I see where you are coming from re Kiten! I think Milano had a subtle comment buried in her reply

My Amazon purchases arrived yesterday. A bbt thermometer, 20 cheapie tests, and an opk kit. Which is weird cos I thought I'd ordered a digital hpt. so questions. The bbt suggests rectal as the best place to take your temp. But as I have to do it as soon as I wake up, I'm not keen on OH observing that . so would armpit or Tongue be ok so long as I'm consistent? Next question - the cheapie tests say ultra early. The number 10 features but the instructions don't say when they should/ would be reliable from. Any ideas? Bear in mind I'm 4 DPO so it's probably not yet
