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

hey all lots to catch up on, so may forget!

vallinna sounds like a shitty time at the mo, sorryt ohear about DHs aunt. Yay for doing the jab tho!

josie yay to horse move and chilled outness!

ttl lol to up-own-arse student! cant believe there are people who actually say that sort of thing!

nervous grr to all friends baby-ed up, just enjoy the vino while you can!

bb lol to the swigging of the dinner cider!! hehehe!

i have booked first appt... they wait here til 10 weeks (if tested at home) so not til 17th dec, good tho as fly to uk on 18th :) got all stuff in post today and seems they dont do nunchal scan as standard, so if want it you have to pay. that different to uk? one bonus tho is i think i meet a midwife at hosp and then see same one all way thru :o

Dyna - how exciting to make an official bean! I hope it goes OK and you are not totally exhausted from work, your shifts sound knackering.

Oops can't spell, that should be shift and hopefully!

PMSL at the ongoing experiment BB and TTL how on earth did it not hift after that lot!!?? I'm amazed and a wee bit worried!

Poor Nervous I'm sure it will happen soon,
keep the faith in the face of annoying news!

Not much happening with me other than working 12 hour days and being on call overnight and wondering how I'll cope if bean sticks and I go back (which I need to!!)or even if I start to get sickness or fatigue etc in preg ... hmmm hadn't considered but need loot must work Oh but docs on Thursday evening (if i can get away for work in time for 19:00 appointment) to hopfully make the little bean official

LOL - cross-posted so missed the prunes experiment BB - love it! TTL, it sounds like you need some too Have you tried laying on your back and hugging your knees up to your chest? It is called the wind-relieving pose in yoga!! You'll have to do it before you get massive though, otherwise carrying out the instruction "knees up to your chest" will be impossible.

Gah Nervous, can imagine it is hard to know what to feel. I agree that you should get the new TT album and here is a hug .

Argh, too much to catch up with... I will try my best tho

Vallinna sounds like you're having a rollercoaster of a time at the moment. Sorry about your aunt, that is awful and so sudden. I hope her son (I think that is what you put a few pages back) is coping as well as he can. Pleased to hear about your lining though. It has made me sing "Hey, ho. silver lining" in my head. I am so cringeworthy sometimes Well done with the first injection!

Josie glad to hear you might be getting somewhere with the yard. I too am horrendous at the doctors (even fainting when they take my bloodpressure), so I am trying not to think about what will happen if the TTC works out. Hope your Nana recovers quickly from the op.

Thank you for your charts BB, my temps are definitely very dodgy (lower now on CD15 & last few days than ever before). Maybe I need a new thermometer....

Not sure what I think about the fbk baby-jacking. It is a bit of a weird way to let people know about upduffment. Plus I am "friends" with some sixth-formers and I don't fancy sharing too much of that kind of stuff with them.

NMCB, I hope your brain hasn't totally melted, I like to read your posts!

In other news I think I ovved on CD11, meaning I am now 4DPO and keep making up symptoms. Asked DH if my boobs look bigger (think he liked this cos I was practically poking them in his face). I knew I would be rubbish on the 2ww and not even supposed to be trying until Feb.... oh well!!

Ah yes BB it would. Except for the fact OH only has this Thurs/fri off and is working next week. In London. 400 miles away. So I may as well be on the 8WW.

.

Pesky friends nervous I'm sure it's difficult to be and at the same time. Yeah for week off though. By my basic maths though, it lands perfectly for JSing?

I'm doing a not at all scientific experiment to see how many prunes it gets to get "things" moving. I ate 10 about 5o'clock and so far I'm farting like a trouper but nothing else I'll keep you posted. Something I'm sure you will all be grateful for

Evening all. Firstly Vallinapod so sorry to hear about your DH's aunt :(. As you say, it's amazing (in a bad way) how someone can be gone in a blink of an eye. (((Hugs))) from me.

Everyone else seems in good spirits! TTL I've no idea how you cope with such rude nobs demanding intellectuals .

I've had a weird few days. At the weekend we spent Saturday evening with friends and their 7 week old baby. Then on Sunday another couple came round for brunch with their boys (1 and 3). Was lovely to see them all, but was feeling a bit about the fact that all our friends, with only one exception, now have kids. Fast forward to about an hour ago when said "exception" phoned my OH, and (no prizes for guessing), announced his girlfriend was up-duffed. and :( but also, of course :) for them.

So we literally have no friends left who aren't pregnant or parents . We're the only ones left. Top that with having spent a day doing physical labour at a work "community" day, I'm knackered, tearful, and only on CD3. Meh and Double Meh.

On the plus side, only one day at work then off for a week and a half. Hurrah . Might buy myself the TT album to cheer myself up .

Yeah for mainlining self-injecting vallinna! That's a huge achiement! I hope it gets easier for you

Just done my first injection! It really is a piddley amount (50 somethings...def not ml ) and a tiny needle. Thank the lord! I only procrastinated for about 5 minutes. It helps that I am by myself therefore had no one to get worked up with!

I doubt very much your class was idiotic takethat! They don't give jobs like yours to just anyone! We've experienced a witty, intellectual, together viroid since we've known you. Ok, maybe not "together"

Well, alcohol free pear cider is gross, disgusting, rank. The alcohol free rose wine is so far passable. Although too sweet. But then I've got a stinking cold so this viewpoint may change I did use real cider when cooking dinner this evening. I have to confess I did neck the last 300 100ml!

Nice call TTL, to the pompous student, as you well know I couldn't give a foggest about the real TT. Am totally gutted that Shihad keep banging on about their tour of NZ and OZ with no mention of the UK! Oh put that kipper away!

Miffles I bought a big tin of roses last week and have hidden them somewhere DH will never find . Mind you he's made me a cheese and mayo roll for my dinner and I don't have the heart to tell him there is basically no mayo and tastes revolting.

I think you response on here was more succinct TTL! Can't wait to hear the new album - told my DH today that we are getting it. May try and wait til Christmas though.

PMSL at your ring tone in fancy pants lecture!

How is your nana doing now she's had the op Josie - is she having a reconstruction? My mum had a mastectomy in 2002 for breast cancer. Not nice at all, but sounds like the family is rallying round.

Popped to see my sister after work. My niece (not the new one, she's from my SIL!) is 19 months now and so adorable. She was laughing and laughing and says some words now. Bright as a button!

Right - since I was home late and DH out I have just eaten chocolate for dinner. That is me now feeling bit icky. I was given a big box of Thorntons last week. Promised to save them til Christmas and only have a handful left! Think I'll go and make Dh dinner and mess a bowl up and say I ate some before he was home!

Hope the lurkers are all doing ok.... Feel free to keep us up-to-date with all non-JSing and pg related news items/gossip.

Nice riposte ttl

takethat I'd have punched the pompous student! How did you answer?

Sister is 130 miles away like most of my family. Sometimes it's too far, sometimes it's too close!

I've got the TT album on my christmas list so I'll just have to wait a while longer...

Done my (late) supermarket run for this week. Bunged in a packet of pregnacare vitamins to upgrade from the preconception one. Well fuck me, £13!! Ggggrrr!! Should have paid more attention at the shelf....

Wow there's loads going on here today, have spent my lunch break catching up

Vallinna so sorry to hear about your husband's Aunt. It's so hard to manage your grief when you are also in shock from the suddeness of it. Look after eachother. I'm pleased you have positive IVF developments to focus on though, I agree with the others that I would be very (that's my squeamish face!) about the injections but think DH would be even worse so I'd have to do them myself.

Miffles it could be your month, have you any idea if you ovulated or is it just guess work? That's the bit I enjoy about charting (although the baby fail each month when you know you've done everything right is a big come down so there is that side to it!) am keeping everything crossed for you that you get a BFP or ERTD soon so you know where you're at.

Josie good luck with the yard news and here's to a productive month in December for you. Loving your new chilled attitude to TTC.

Am with you guys on the Facebook thing although not sure how I would feel if I had my own news to shout about one of my friends had a scan picture up yesterday from 20 weeks (I agree that they look a bit alien-like, especially the 3D ones) and I had a PM from another friend telling me she is pg with number two! I'm out with a group of friends at the weekend, three of whom are pregnant so that will be fun!

I want to post but my brain isn't working well.

So sorry to hear about you DH's Aunt Vallinna, though hurray for moving onto the jabby drugs, here's to an upduff VPod very soon.

Love, babydust and happy horsey dust to everyone esle before my brain totally melts.

Josie fingers crossed for your Grandma. Good they caught it and have done something about it xxxxxx
