I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

af hs arrived (i think) so here begins cycle 1 of baby making, so excited i could let out a little bit of wee.!!!!!!!!!!!!

toddle · 07/04/2011 20:52

yeah obe i would definatly not say your out for the BFP for this month. it was over a week past my AF day untill i got my BFP apparently it varies how early you get the positive test greatly from person to person so FX :):).

you and dreaming will have to keep us all updated.

fraggle thats aweful news (hugs & my last piece of best chocolate fudge cake in the world). our council are having a massive shake up of their children and young peoples services so were all being effected now too :(. we got in a meeting and they basically said all of our jobs were deleted and have had to wait to find out what will happen next week :(. im sure you may be back may just have to have a late 2012 baby :)

I shall be keeping fingers firmly crossed for us all over the coming weeks!

Thank you all for being utterly brilliant by the way, you are keeping me sane. Sorry, feeling a little emotional today...colleagues at work are all pregnant and all the baby talk made me slightly tearful - methinks AF could be on her way, but am still hopeful!

Trope - loved your post! SWI does indeed feel a little strange after years of not doesn't it?

Am trying to think of a witty quiz question...in the meantime am going to watch The Model Agency on catch-up to cheer self up.

Ciao ciao x

OBeSomeOtherName · 07/04/2011 18:02

Thanks for the x-ed fingers Smile I'll definately keep you all updated.

Weimy is the answer 'a good performance'? Shock Grin

Trope that was beautiful!!

fraggle I'm so sorry :( we will miss you xx

Welcome wgm!

Oh trope that was lovely Smile

obe fx for you - keep us updated!

OBeSomeOtherName · 07/04/2011 14:37

Thanks everyone Smile No news yet, which is good news. Maybe. Haven't had any bad moods (well, no more than usual!), aches or sore boobs which I always have before AF. It's just driving me nuts not knowing if it's because I'm pregnant or just having a long cycle. Dying to know one way or the other!

I'll be POAS everyday until i know now! Hmm Grin

Trope, your post put a big smile on my face Smile

BoogiesBunny · 07/04/2011 13:46

Awww trope that was a really beautiful post - and there could very well be a wee life just starting inside you. It is amazing. Oh....... I want to be pregnant so much!!

trope · 07/04/2011 13:26

Hey obe, i'm with BoogiesBunny on this one, keep your chin up, it could still happen!

So many of us on here now - someones gotta get another BFP soon, surely!

I am due to ovulate today/tomorrow, so DP and I properly started SWI last night - bar one or two broken condom situations I've never had unprotected sex before - it felt very very weird to know that there was nothing stopping "the creation of life"!! Strangely meaningful, instead of just good fun, IYKWIM. The whole thing was most peculiar; DP got home from work, we had dinner & a few Wine (well, he had one, I had a couple - I was feeling weirdly nervous!!) then mid evening we went upstairs, lit some candles, put some nice music on and... Wink Makes a change from a DVD boxset and a bar of chocolate on the sofa! Wink

Knowing that somewhere inside me life could be being created right now is really fucking weird and disconcerting!

Anyways, I just ate my own body weight in pesto pasta for lunch, just in case I am eating for two you understand... not greedy/comfort eating in any way... oh noes... This better not take months/years, or I'll be the size of a bus before I even get pregnant at this rate!

whitegold · 07/04/2011 13:26

dreaming has af arrived today? If not, are you going to test?

I'm so excited for all those about to test over the coming days - I've just started the dreaded 2ww, trying desperately to think of other things but I'm sure the imaginary symptom spotting will begin before much longer!

obe anything to report from your end?

trope · 07/04/2011 12:53

hey fraggle - just wanted to add my commiserations at your sad news. I know how hard it is to be ready emotionally and have outside factors hold you back.

Take good care of yourself, enjoy 3 months of sex without intent and hopefully we'll see you fully back here on the bus later this year!

BoogiesBunny · 07/04/2011 10:46

Hi dreaming and wgm - so many New Year babies brewing on this thread!! I am desperately excited about getting our first BFP! Obe it could still be you - an early BFN doesn't mean anything.

Welcome world and happy SWI-ing! Grin

Really hoping for BFP this month, a new year baby would be a much loved addition to our family!!

whitegold · 06/04/2011 23:17

Oh sorry fraggle Sad I work in the public sector, and although I'm not having my pay cut I'll be on a pay freeze for the next few years at least so I'm expecting to see a big difference in what we have left over for ourselves after mortgage, bills, etc (in the last month alone I've had to pay my car insurance which had gone up by 50% - crazy!) so I can imagine how worrying it must be for you.

Hope that you manage to work something out, and you know if you started TTC again at the end of the year you'd still be in with a shot of a 2012 baby - you should definitely stick around!

(((hugs to you too)))

OBeSomeOtherName · 06/04/2011 22:58

Oh Fraggle I'm so sorry to hear that! Hope you and your DH are ok and that the time flies for you both. Ruddy bloody government! Angry

(((Big hugs right back atcha)))

fragglerocks · 06/04/2011 22:24

Hi ladies and a big hi to all the newbies!
Not been here for a while, got some bad news last week, both DH and I will be having to take a huge paycut due to bloody stupid government cuts (We're both civil servants) We have quite a few debts, this coupled with the paycuts means we can't really afford a baby right now so have decided to spend the next few months paying off as much as we can and will hopefully start TTC again at the end of the year.
I will still pop in every now and then to see how you're getting on, good luck to you all, I really really really wish you all the best.
To all my sex pests, remember to keep your fingers crossed but your legs wide open (and up in the air after SWI for at least 15 minutes!)
Really sad at the moment but hopefully when i'm feeling less depressed about it all I will be back to see how you all are!!
(((Big hugs to you all )))

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't either. I don't think I'd like him watching porn cos there is no way I could ever look like the women in porn films (or do what they do mores to the point).
