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].

Hi everyone,
I am ttc#1 for 6 months but only good proper cycles since about late novemebr and got a positive on ovulation test for first time this month. But every single month things seem to go wrong, I have tonsilitis, husband has winter vomiting bug......and now I have it-a little bit late admittedly!
So fingers crossed 2012 will be the year that amummyinwaiting becomes amunnynolongerwaiting Smile

Well i'm pretty positive that i'm not PG and have possibly just missed out a period, apparently it can just happen for no reason (I found out from googling, not doctor, grrr).

I'm just a bit miffed as he didn't really answer any of my questions, kept asking me what i was worried about, a shortened version is this:

Fraggle "I'm 12 days late which is very unusual, I have had bfns and i'm a bit concerned incase something is wrong"

Doctor "well what are you worried about?"

Fraggle " well the fact that i'm 12 days late which is unusual and i'm worried something is wrong"

Doctor "well apart from being late what are you worried about?"

Fraggle "well just that, that i'm 12 days late"

Doctor "menstrual cycles don't run like clock work you know Shock"

Fraggle "I know, just wondered what could be causing it"

Doctor "You have probably stopped your period through being stressed about TTC, come back if you still haven't come on in 3-4 months, I can't do anything based on just one missed period"

Fraggle "but i'm not that stressed about it"

Doctor "Well come back to me in 3-4 months and try not to worry"

Fraggle "But as I'm trying TTC I would like to know when i'm ovulating etc"

Doctor "See you are worrying too much, go home and come back to see me in a few months"

Wow, thanks doctor! So basically I have no idea why i've missed my period and you're telling me it's my fault!

Will wait until next AF was due and if still not here I will go and see a female doctor.

Welcome to the sex pests thread dreaming!

DreamingOfABump · 25/03/2011 18:58

haha i do that too....although with my post wedding scofffing it doesnt take too much imagination!!

trope · 25/03/2011 18:45

hi DreamingOfABump - I like your name! Makes me think of all the times i've eaten too much pizza/curry/insert lazy take away dinner here and stood in front of a mirror pretending my food baby is a real one! Wink (I've just overshared haven't I?...)

Will do my best to set a good precedent - have also been practising a long time so fingers crossed!

trope · 25/03/2011 18:42

aah boden, land of OTT patterns, overly personal mailouts and insanely high prices... (can't mock it too much though, what with me owning a few of the less patterned bits and pieces from my pre-redundancy days!) They do do some very cute kiddy clothes though, I can't deny that.

Doggy slobber definitely a good prep for baby gunk I reckon! :o

DreamingOfABump · 25/03/2011 18:37

hi :D
id like to reserve a seat on the 2012 coach.
We're starting to ttc in May so am hoping for a 2012 baby. We've been practicing for 10 years so im hoping we'll have a good shot at it! ;)

good luck to those trying now, please set a good precedent :D

weimy · 25/03/2011 17:50

Lol trope, haven't a clue what boden even is! Suspect I would be a sick down the back kinda girl to, would go well with all the stuff the dogs keep getting on me.Grin

hi weimy - thanks :o Am unbelievably nervous, but equally excited I reckon! Just got back from a "calming" walk down the beach, which turned out to not be quite so calming as every mum in Hove and all their super-cute boden-clad kids were also there enjoying the spring sunshine! Still, amazing to think that this time next year it could actually be me (well, not the boden-clad bit - i'm not made of money and somehow I suspect I might be more of a vomit-down-my-back-and-didn't-notice kind of mum than a hove style yummy mummy type... but you get the idea) Wink

Fraggle - is there any chance you could see a female doctor? I've had a lot more support & understanding from women doctors/consultants around baby stuff (which is daft really, plenty of male doctors are dedicated dads, but there you go). Perhaps they might be a bit more helpful and willing to investigate more promptly for you? (Although the just having lots of SWI sounds like a recipe for a fun weekend anyways!)

weimy · 25/03/2011 16:11

Welcome Newbies!!!

treacle, 92!!! blinkin eck!!!

Summerbird73 · 25/03/2011 14:40

fraggle WTF??? Confused right well i would just go for it - have a shagathon!

can i be an irritating git and say what a fantastic day i am having! still off sick but took DS out of nursery so i can spend some time with him, we have had a lovely morning at his friends house then had lunch in the garden - he is now napping and i am MNing! It is all recuperation i reckon - i am back at work on Wednesday and feeling optimistic about that.

Good luck all you TTCers - it is the weekend so lots of SWI opportunities!

fragglerocks · 25/03/2011 14:30

Hi summer and everyone else.
Just a quickie as I'm at work

Went to doctors today as Af is 12 days late, he has helpfully told me to wait 3-4 months and if af hasn't turned up by then I should go back to him, ooh thanks, that helped put my mind at rest! Decided that as I have no idea what's going on I will just do a lot of SWI and keep my fingers crossed!

Summerbird73 · 25/03/2011 13:24

and introducing myself to everyone else!

yep i am a sex pest from the other 'fred. Got PG in January but sadly am just getting over a MC which happened a week ago. But I AM FINE! And in fact DH and I are already starting to talk about TTC again.

oo and to the sex pests that know me - i am celebrating today as (TMI alert) the MC blood has turned from red to brown which means it is on the way out! yippeeeee Smile

honestly i know i prob sound way too optimistic for someone who has just had a MC but as my GP said on Monday - 'well Summerbird you ARE 38 so you may want to think about TTC sooner rather than later - you arent getting any younger you know'

Dont worry - i know him well and he is a really nice guy!!

So here i am - might just take folic acid and drink decaff for the next month or two - no way am i skimping on the Wine as it may be my last for a while Smile Think we may start TTC beginning May. But i am jumping on the bus with you guys in the meantime.

Levana · 25/03/2011 13:07

Hi, can I join. Am trying to conceive #1. Have been trying 2 cycles, December was a bad month and nothing has gone right so a 2012 baby it is Smile

Cycle wise am 28 - 33 days. Trying to shorten this a bit, at the moment am taking Maca which is suppose to help regulate cycle - I hope!

2520IsAMagicNumber · 25/03/2011 10:03

glad most people have long and/or annoying cycles! so do I! Mines are anywhere between 25 and 35 days! WTF!

Anyway im a youngun! The grand ol ae of 20! Married (met him at 15!) (awwww!) And TTC no1.

Im prob stopping myself from ovulating as im so stressed out with doubts that hubby wants children :S he keeps saying he does but we've had "it" about 5 times in 2 months.... hmmm.... duno im just stressed today :( we've been arguing the past 2 days :(

So basically im just waiting for my P to start in 10 days or so, so i can start charting as i know how to do it properly!

New around here so i'll give u my stats

TTC #1
i have boardering on rediculous cycles, arranging from 31 days to 92, which like most of your lovely ladies on here, annoys the life out of me too!!!
AF just caught me so i am CD 3 of my second cycle, been TTCing since January, and i would LOVE a 2012 baby :D

I love red wine, cakes, chocolate, naughty foods and pub quizes!! I used to go one regularly with my old work mates until i moved towns!!! miss it now when i think about it!

Good luck to all you lovely ladies passes White chocolate muffins around coach
