Over Here Viroids! Just Shagging with Intent Thread!

Aqua I know how you feel on the job front, we want to relocate back to the Midlands and had hoped that we would be able to plan this around the arrival of a new clan member but as this is taking far longer than originally anticipated, I have now started looking for a new job. We're in a bit of a dilemma as if I do accept a new job I would want to be there for at least 12 months before starting any mat leave. Plus the maternity pay with my current employer is very generous so we are now saving more to cover the eventuality that I might need to take mat leave on statutory pay - it's getting complicated! Although at this rate we'll have squirelled away a small fortune before any baby puts in an appearance!

BamBam hope that feeling turns into reality, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Nice work on the swotting Josie although it's very non-viroid behaviour, I love knowing more about my cycle as at least I have something to work to rather than just random 'let's see', which worked for me in the first 6 months but then just wasn't enough! I like to understand how things work, I'm the teacher's pet

bambam it's going to be hard! I keep thinking I'll go buy a test just to get it over and done with! Good job I have none in the flat, or I'd have tested by now

I'm actually finding it easier as the days go by ... in a way I'm getting more convinced it'd be BFP and that I don't really need that confirmation so much but then my pessimistic side kicks and says I will get AF so wait until I know she's really late! My head can't work out what it's thinking!

I just know I'll be more secure with the BFP (if I get one) that later I leave it.

Morning ladies.

Sorry about BFN Dee. I would have had the green man too. Josie is right though, it's not over til the red witch sings!

Crow - I don't know how you can wait til Monday! I am so excited on your behalf!

Well, I am more nervous than Nelly today because of my interview. It's at 2 o'clock, so I will have to get the train about 1ish.

DP and I managed another JS sesh last night. This will sound stupid, but I have a real "feeling" now that maybe we have done it! I know it's ridiculous, and I can't explain it. Probably just wind! It will be a long 2ww. The best thing is that, when I collected DS from school yesterday, his teacher asked if I was expecting, as DS had said we were having a baby! Bless him, he is desperate for a baby sister. Maybe it's a good omen!

PracticallyImperfect yes, tell him to pull himself together and enjoy it while it lasts!

sorry about your bfn dee and your little green man - it's so difficult isn't it when your feelings of being pleased for someone are a little tempered with regret that you don't have similar news. But you are obviously very (ahem) committed so hopefully it will happen soon!

I have confused my situation because I've just applied for my dream job, a position that someone had to retire out of in order for it to become available. If I get it it will start in May and I must admit that it would be ideal to have more than six months in the job before having to take maternity leave. Soooo...on the grounds of sod's law, I am fully expecting to get upduffed very soon! (And if not, then at least there is a silver lining, or hopefully will be if I get it.)

Sorry for BFN Dee but it?s not over till it?s over! I?m testing about the 6th providing ERTD doesn?t arrive before then. Sorry for green man too

Nothing to report here although I am so into the whole TTC thing this month I know that if I ov?d last wed it could be today up till Saturday when the egg implants I?m going to be very disappointed again if ERTD arrives! Here?s to the 2ww

dee I came off the pill in Nov, and so far seems to have been 'normal', but who knows. Fingers crossed I am now in the 2ww... or the 17 day wait if FF is correct (which I don't think it can be). Erg.

crow well done on will power... here's hoping for a BFP come Monday

Morning dee! Sorry about the BFN ... when is AF due?

Still got sore boobies here, red hot sensation and keep having to remove OH's hands off them! I haven't even told him I'm late yet - don't want to freak him out as he's still only just come back to terms with TTC and is still a bit jittery! So I want to be absolutely sure.

No sign of AF either - no cramps, no spotting ... just the occasional heavy and tight feeling. With the soreness of my boobs for as long as this, I'd have expected AF to turn up by now if it was that.

I was planning on testing on Saturday morning if AF hasn't turned up, but we have our daughters staying for the weekend, and if it's BFN I don't want a cloud of doom over the weekend, and if it's a BFP I'd be excited and hyper and OH and I would be talking in whispers about it, as I wouldn't want to tell our girls until I've had my 12 week scan and seen everything is ok ... so best I carry on as normal while they're here and test Monday morning, after the school run.

Now I've got it all planned, you watch AF turn up

I haven't got a clue. I'm waiting for my body to return back to normal since coming of the pill just before Christmas.

deemented if ERTD does not swallow me up in the meantime (i.e. if my cycle has gone screwy), I should be testing around 9/10th. When is yours due to appear?

G'morning ladies.

Well i POAS this morning, and as expected it was BFN. I'm a little dissapointed, but i hadn't really expected anything different. I think i might wait another fortnight and retest then, dependant on if ERTD turns up in the meantime. That'll mean me testing roundabout the 9th Feb - anyone else testing around then?

Went out with the girls last night, and the first thing one of my close friends did was announce that she was pregnant. Am delighted for her, but i have to admit that the little green man was sat on my shoulder poking his tounge out...

A bit behind the times (or actually ahead in Oz), so much happens when I'm sleeping!

Not sure if you've moved way on by now Foghorn, but I started vomiting with DD from 5 weeks and it didn't end, but it did settle down to once a day from about week 28.

Aquavit, reassuring to read that it happened for you both times when JSing every second day. That's the approach that we're taking but I really had to talk DH into it last night. Fair enough the poor lad was tired but I had pantsnot so he didn't get to protest too much .

Dee I don't know what to say! But you are a true champion of... well, you know :).

Sorry to hear about the ERTDs and associated pains, fingers crossed that this next month will see this thread innundated with BFP's!

Everyone has been in great spirits today by the looks of it. I've spent the day trying (and failing) to book a ski holiday. More reverse psychology! Mind you, had a couple of signs of my early warning system - ie PMT kicking off a whole flipping week before ERTD is due. Still quite mild though, so could just be a common or garden bad mood [bwink]. Love the very classy nod to Burns by the way, nice stereotyping Mumsnet [bhmm].

Like everyone else, I bow down to Dee's shagathon. OH and I manage about 4 times a month. 9 in 4 days would break us! Mind you, we do both have ACTUAL saddle sores from, ummm, saddles . On horse and bike respectively. Perhaps we need to spend less time on extra curricular activities and more time riding each other

Right off to google "Luxury chalets in Klosters for under £300 a week". Wish me luck [bsmile]

Hi everyone, welcome newbs, sorry for all the ERTDs and for fuelling GOML'S mentalness so badly but glad you are on the TTC for real wagon now!

Had a lovely time at the spa, then over the weekend and at a conference for the last 2 days and am now hoping to get back into the routine after a week off - I'm a total lightweight!

Have been doing some true JSing (though not competing for the 9 times crown!) though and no chance of OVing for at least another week

9 times

After not having periods for over 3 years I'd forgotten what they were like :( Distinctly overrated!

hi everyone

Can't get over Dee's serious shaggathon [bshock] - if you're not upduffed there is no justice.

Still no action here. Starting to get a leeeetle frustrated. I tried my best seduction techniques last night but DP was too tired apparently. Humph.

Still, we have a dirty weekend planned this weekend, which I think coincides with ovulation, so fingers crossed. Plus I am having a bikini wax tomorrow which tends to, erm, help things along somewhat

Ooh Nickel do you have a book shop?

I think with a 3yo and a 6 mo I might bow out at the moment or dh might just trade me in! maybe when the boy is sleeping through the night....................

I did Figgy I did. Some books for my niece for Christmas. However, she posted them to me (FOC) and they were lovely. We spoke on the phone - I was nervous, speaking to a viroid in RL!

Are you joining us Figgy?

why thank you very much nickel have dh lined up for child watch next thursday so whoopee!

BTW Nickel's shop is brilliant - bought all sorts of things that dd/ds don't need but I wanted!

And she is lovely to boot, so law says you MUST buy from her!

I'm confused, where was Reality?

Thanks Got2Dance, will definitely reference you

I've got to wait until not this weekend but next.......... tick tick tick.......

And happy to help Josie - in your references you can put down "Personal Communication with Got2Dance"

Oh good, Reality thanks for checking. I feel bad for forgetting now. Would be a pretty poor show otherwise.

Who's next to test? I know Crow and I are holding out to the weekend (btw I'm NOT expecting anything - sure ERTD will come as always. Super positive me!)

Dee - when will we find out if your quantity has out done our quality?

Ha ha yes Got2Dance that sounds about right!

Best of luck BamBam, reverse psychology and all that!

No comment Deemented!

Can?t believe we?ve only had one BFP! Well there?s time yet [waits patiently?.]
