Thread for the fanjo-furkling, red-fecker-hating, ramekin-peeing JSers

100!!! wow! I keep nearly doing one of mine (expensive ones, though) then realise how silly I'd look, cos I know it'll be a BFN and then AF would arrive.

Oooo....got a symptom tho - extra clicky and loose joints. Ok so even with the help of Google, I can't find this is an actual symptom, but I'm clutching at straws here!

Those innocent veg pots are good. Feel so virtuous eating one of them!

Morning all

Monday is always healthy kick start day! It's the only way to get rid of the poundage that piles on over the weekend I've been enjoying those Innocent Veg Pots for lunch; the work canteen is crap. I managed to put on about 4lbs over recent weeks. It's got to go. Plus the other 4lbs I was trying to shift anyway

Rule break alert! I bought 100 (Yes, 100!) internet cheapy pg tests from ebay. Last month cost me an absolute fecking fortune in pee sticks. I had just stopped using them when I got the BFN at the docs. So I can't see the next BFP being better.

Josie what haircut did you go for in the end?

Miffles want some of my pg pee sticks?!

Kipper-slap me, please!

Am on CD23 with some spotting. Have convinced myself I'm (in TTL's words) upduffed and this is implantation. Despite the fact I'm not sure I've ovulated at all in the last 5 years. And my periods always start like this. And I have zero symptoms, despite much boob poke-age.

iPhone posting so being brief...

Pmsl for "hard core ttc'ing" miffles

Thanks for seeing me through this tough week viroids. To nick someone elses phrase "you guys rock"!!

People at my work didn't notice when all I was drinking was cranberry juice (or when I stopped drinking coffee with wild abandon), so think the same would apply to grape and nettle juice. Mind you, if there are any other people ttc then they might pick up on it!

I think it was laughing at the term dildo-cam that made me join this group. It describes it perfectly.

I think the supermarkets are missing a beat by not having an online section listing fertility boosting foods/drinks. I would like to click 'add all to cart'. Do you think people at work will notice I am only drinking grape juice/nettle tea and munching brazil nuts constantly?

Right, have tried to replied twice and lost it due to my over-sensitive touchpad. So this'll be short.

Hello viroids, welcome to dynababy, glad you have your CD1 BB and sorry you are feeling low miffles.

Thought I was about to start spotting today, but such a small amount it was almost invisible. 12DPO. No PG symptoms but no sign of my usual 4 days spotting either, so more mentalness to come I'm sure.

Right will post this before I accidentally hit backspace again.

Miffles it is a packet thing where you choose your meat, grave/sauce, carbs and veg. The portions are small the size dinner is meant to be, so good for the health kick.

Thanks . Not sure I want to read the explanation of dildo-cam!

aahh...viroid is not a common acronym! Someone was typing on an iPhone, I think, and tried to type girlies. Or something similar. And it typed viroid. We kinda liked it. :)

And dildo-cam - is an explanation needed there?!

Thank you Miffles. Chicken kebab sounds nice . I am enjoying having to keep foot up as DH cooking tea and generally being servant!

What does viroids mean? Think am getting hang of the other acronyms!

Thanks viroids....feeling a bit chirpier now. Went for a walk with DH and had a chicken kebab (far healthier than donar, tho not quite as nice). Have persuaded him to put some pictures up on the wall - big commitment, you see - making holes in our freshly painted plaster!

Yay for AF, Brassica! Let the craziness begin once more! Are you taking the clomid tomorrow, or leaving it be for this month? Tell us more about these sheep...

And grapefruit juice? Grapefruit juice! Oh bless - these newbies! I want to wrap your niavity up in cotton wool!! When you've been here as long as some of us, you'll get hardened and cynical too... Some of us are into the hardcore stuff - proper drugs and injections and dildocams, etc!

baby2b - I'm intruiged by this M&S slow cooker range. Is it a packet thing that you put in there with meat and veg (or beg!)? Must look out for that. The only thing that puts me off with the slow cooker is browning the meat at 7am. Urgh! Who can do that?

Hope the ankle keeps feeling, singingmog

to all my fellow viroids

I need to go on a health kick too. Think I have put on about half a stone since we got married. Is chocolate bad for you when ttc? I am having trouble resiting it too Biscuits!

Have hurt my ankle in a mysterious and unknown way so NHS Direct nurse has told me to go to the injuries clinic in the week. (Unless it goes numb, then I have to go to A&E). Was sitting wondering how I would be able to tell if it was numb. DH says he will keep poking it.

I think that reading this thread is making me hunt for random symptoms. Only stopped taking the pill a fortnight ago and am coming up with all kinds of things now. DH thinks I am on mad symptom hunt!

Glad for you Brassica join me in a glass of wine this evening!

*hunger over? Hungover!

Haha, what has happened to our spelling on here?

Dyna I really like using opks as it helps timing the extra jsing. Also as AF was late this month I kind of knew it was because I ovulated late. I was still mental though

I am sitting at my computer pretending to do some work, too hunger over though!

Brassica M&S do a slow cooker range which is good to start with. If mine is watery I just add more gravy granules. We are getting old aren't we

at more beg and shag!

Dyna in my experience doing everything wrong and bad works a treat. Doing everything correct and good just resulted in cp's (hence my still hanging out here despite being up duff).

Am currently drinking an alcohol free brewed blackcurrent drink thinking it could REALLY use a slug or 3 two of vodka to make it perfect.

Ooh dynababy I'm on grapefruit- you're suppose to drink it pre-obvulation to give more sperm friendly cm I think! I'll let you know !

Baby2b- no! No!
Ahem, I'm just jealous because I've dot discalculia so I can't read/write numbers so my chart would look mental

miffles bug sloppy kisses no tongues though missus.
Your soup sounds amaaazing, I've been eating bacon butties all day, very bad!

welcome dyna! Were on the same cycle day yay!

Good luck just shagging brassica!

Sending brazil nuts to all our preggo shaggers xxx

That was supposed to read veg!

lol at fanjo furkling up flag pole! Pre bonfire night sounds grand to me Brassica, here's hoping!

As a newbie does anyone have any advice on getting up duff quickly?? I have seen some talk of grapefruit juice - what does this do?? Any other dietary or other advice? OPK's any use or are they contra-ban?

Otherwise i'm just thinking eat less rubbish, more beg and shag like no tomorrow hee hee!

I'm jumping on the healthy kick bandwagon! I was actually thinking about name changing to JustAFewMoreChocBisuits . Giving in to my chip cravings is already taking its toll. How am I meant to hide a 2 and half week pg belly, when I look a few months gone?!

Crap-ola about the ERTD Josie, but yay about it Brassica (!?). Also sorry you're feeling crap-ola Miffles, I'll send some lemon meringue (sp) you're way (please hugs, soup and the drink of your choice).

Hello hello to SingingMog and Dyna . Fanjo-Furling? Have they been up on a flag pole?

Hmm soup... (Yum emoticon)

Pre-christmas dyna?! I'm working on pre-bonfire night!

I've got a slow cooker. My stuff always comes out very watery no mater how much I reduce the liquids by. (This type of converation always reminds me I'm an old goat now! Not young and happening any more )

Baby2b and miffles I also need a fresh start on the diet front.. i'm starting again tomorrow, would be good to lose some poundage before hopefully gaining it again in baby! If that doesn't happen will be nice to be a bit slimmer come Christmas party season! Soups are the order of the day. Brassica one of my friends sadly had a MC and became preg 2 months later when it had taken 8 to conceive previously so may be somethng in it. Fingers crossed for all for a pre Christmas BFP!

Glad AF arrived Brassica. I read loads of comments/articles about being more fertile, but never worked for me. I still think there might be something in it though.

Miffles Loving the slow cooker idea. I had put mine away for the summer, but will need to get it going again.
