Go for it Dial. It would be lovely to have BFP!

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 14:04

Ooooh, fingers crossed! Would be nice to have a BFP! :)

Thinking about POAS tomorrow morning. Period due nowish and normally I have couple of spots to announce them. Skin is looking particularly good right now so am suspicious.

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 13:59

Wotcha DialM - dive right in :)

mrsgrumpy a normal thermometer will work but it has to be a sensitive one - one that goes to 2 decimal points. I just got the boots one as I knew it would be reliable :o

Jemimapuddleduk · 25/08/2011 13:48

Sorry, just read back and you said 9 months! Very cute, what type of dog is she? They are ace aren't they!

Jemimapuddleduk · 25/08/2011 13:44

Hellooo chocolate, that puppy story is so funny, I just spat out my tea laughing. We have a baby gate on our stairs so a similar thing doesn't happen! Before our pup we regularly dog sat the I'm laws young spaniel and he had a habit of getting in the bedroom when we were bonking and kind of jumping up and down peering over the edge of the bed to get a look, very off putting! We also had a habit of searching out dirty underwear and chewing the crotch, often as in laws came to pick him up. Urgh.
The puppy (amongst other things) was supposed to be a distraction from ttc stress, in fact we have been so knackered since we got him that there has been very little bedroom action! How old is your dog now?

DialMforMummy · 25/08/2011 13:35

Can I join?

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 13:19

I got this one when I started charting. Don't know if it helps.

chocolatewindmill I just got some very strange looks from people walking down the corridor as I was nearly pissing myself laughing reading your post about your puppy! :o

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 25/08/2011 12:39

Sn0wGoose, I had a look at the thermometers in Boots but didn't buy one as I thought I could maybe find a cheaper one online. Will a normal digital thermometer do or is a basal thermometer essential/more accurate?

ChocolateWindmill, that made me chuckle. Grin

ChocolateWindmill · 25/08/2011 12:27

Just caught up with rest of thread (I'd missed a page)

jemimapuddleduk good luck with the puppy! Ours is currently 9 months old. When she was a bit younger she caught us TTC (I swear she was asleep in her room and the door had been closed so we could get some private time!) and freaked the hell out. Running around frantically, crying, scrabbling at the bed. I think she decided DH was trying to kill me. Anyway, we couldn't stop because we'd gotten to that point and the whole thing ended with her scrambing up onto the bed (somehow. She was teeny), licking DH in the face and trying to scramble between us. She tried to bite my boob and bark at DH at the same time, resulting in about 45 minutes of uncontrollable laughter and no more SWI. She then sat down on my face, I guess to protect me from DH and farted. It was on a CD14 as well. Such a waste of perfectly good swimmers.

Not to put you off puppies or anything. Wink

Just make sure you close the crate properly!

musicalmrs · 25/08/2011 12:24

desperate - I'm lucky in that I'm working from home, planning lessons and arranging music, but being very unproductive! Think more chocolate is required.

My calculations are making me suspect I'm more on the June bus than the May bus now, but won't add my name just yet...

ChocolateWindmill · 25/08/2011 12:18

chases bus

Hi, I was on the May bus, but was doing sums (obsessively, as you do) and I think my ticket would be best suited here. Plus you're all talking about doggie style and that is relevant to my interests.

DO67 I know exactly what you mean... I have a day off tomorrow (yay for getting in there first to book days off around bank holidays!) and i feel like I need to do a massive pile of work before I disappear today. And my best friend is having a relationship crisis so I'm mainly emailing her instead of working... ahhhhhh. This stress is not good for TTC!! Might make some Brew

Right, an updated list:

trilottie (30) ttc1, cycle1, CD10 very excited triathlete and bunny mummy
MyGoldenNotebook (29) ttc#2, 4th cycle, cd 6 will be trying it doggy style; enjoys knitting; isn't 2.
Sn0wgoose (27) ttc1, cycle 6, CD2 experimental
desperateoldie67 (43) - TTC#1, CD1 enjoys knitting; shags like a demon
Pillow(28) - TTC#1 - makes frilly knickers for a living
Louloubella (27) TTC #1 looks like an angel; swears like a trooper
KinkyDorito (32) TTC#3 has 2 cats and a tilted womb. Used to knit, might explain outdoor SWI.
cheekycurls
Princessesmummy (25) TTC #2 Very impatient and addicted to library books.
sweetpb (33) TCC#1
LittleMissT TTC#1 for the last 3 months. garden blogger and camper
mrsmellow (33)TTC#1 CD6 AF due ~18th Sept (ish) triathlete and happy camper (starting to knit - will outdoor sex follow soon? )
jemimapuddleduk (32) TTC#1, cycle 18 (cycle 4 after last mc), CD5. Will also be encouraging DH to perform lots of doggy style in between training our new puppy (sounds v wrong)
Mama5isalive (35)#DC3 AF due 27th Aug!!!!!!!!!!!grin
MrsGrumpWantsABump (34) TTC#1, CD 12, AF due 12th Sept, enjoys veg gardening; is addicted to mint tea
ChocolateWindmill (24) TTC #1, CD 7, ex pro skier, also enjoys knitting (and therefore kinkiness? Hmm)

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 12:03

Can you tell I'm bored at work btw? I should be working, but as my boss is such an arse, I just can't seem to work up the enthusiasm!

OP posts:
desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 12:03

OK...so where did you hide the choccy, or don't I want to know?! :o

OP posts:
Sn0wGoose · 25/08/2011 12:01

I got a charting kit from Boots - thermometer, chart booklet and wholly unnecessary leatherette pouch for £14.99 :o

welliesandpyjamas · 25/08/2011 11:50

Nice one. Filthy and fun is my kinda bus!

[pretends not to enjoy the frisking...phew, she didn't find the choccy]

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 11:47

Welcome :)

I don't know whether or not it's a lucky thread yet, but it's filthy and fun, so hop aboard :o

OP posts:
welliesandpyjamas · 25/08/2011 11:46

Stop the bus, I need to get on, please! Another passenger here :)

TTC #3. Had one AF since coil removal and pretty sure I am about to get another one, soooooo am determined that next month will be our month. I joined a TTC thread when TTC DS2 and it worked first time so obviously I need to do the same this time for luck Grin

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 11:46

I can't say either way on OPKs. I feel when I ovulate tbh, which I suppose is lucky. Either that, or I have wind! :o

When I started charting...I got This. And it's a nice reasonable price too. The thermometer seems to be ok. And my temps are all over the place too, but then I don't tend to sleep very well most nights, so I'm not sure how reliable my temp charting is tbh.

"If in doubt, shag"? I like that! Now all I have to do is get my DP home this weekend and woo hoo! Now that I'm back on the pill again due to brain chemistry issues (seems a nicer way of putting it than stark, staring crazy!), the pressure is off for a few months until I get my head straight again. I hope the poor man has been taking care of himself this week - which I very much doubt as he's been away with mates who like to get pished - cos I'm going to jump his bones this weekend! :)

OP posts:
musicalmrs · 25/08/2011 11:39

MrsGrumpWantsABump - Definitely if in doubt shag! I have no idea when I ovulated - no sticks - but I suspect it was sometime last week. As we didn't know I've had to persuade the DH into lots of SWI. Thermometer hasn't shown anything, but I suspect that's down to me and not it.

People used "If in doubt, shag!" for years without knowing about charting/pant snot/OPKs/all this malarky, so is bound to work ;) OPKs are well known for not being 100% reliable...

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 25/08/2011 11:36

I'm confused. I only started this charting malarky this month and thought it would be a piece of cake after all the 'lessons' I've been doing on Fertility Friend. Well, I thought WRONG. My temps are all over the place (I probably need to buy a more reliable thermometer, any tips?) and apparently I can't even read the OPK stick. I'm on CD 12 and have been weeing on OPKs like there's no tomorrow. Yesterday I finally got a very faint line and I'm now staring at a stronger line, but it's still not quite as strong as the control line. So that would be... a negative? Not sure I've been interpreting my pant snot correctly either. Please tell me this gets easier. Confused

I've got a new motto: if in doubt, shag. Grin

desperateoldie67 · 25/08/2011 10:48

Hang in there bee. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Oooh, midges...What is it with Wales and doggy style outdoors!? Bwahahahaha...actually, Wales is where I busted the radio in the car by putting my stiletto-heeled boot into it (oops!). He's got a nice, posh truck now, so no high heels LOL! And I got read the riot act for doing something rather naughty to him on a motorway once, plus I think we might just have warped a few kids little minds when their minibus drove past! Blush

Thanks ladies, I will stick around, I like it here :) And I'm hoping that when I'm a leeeetle less mental, I'll get back on a bus quite legitimately instead of being a foul-mouthed, dirty-minded freeloader! :o

Thanks for the chocolate MrsGrump.

Someone told me that SWI meant sex with intent the other day...I always thought of it as shagging with intent! I know it's the same thing, but it gives an insight into how uncouth I am really, doesn't it? :o

OP posts:
MrsGrumpWantsABump · 25/08/2011 10:42

Here's another one who likes knitting and outdoor activities (preferably doggy style in Wales), didn't realise there was a link! Grin Can I join?

Hands a big block of chocolate to desperate. I remember you from the May thread, please stick around. Smile

DH is waiting to get a SA after a recent VR, so the chances are I'll be jumping on and off buses for a while...

Hi all.

Feeling really really glum today. I POAS last night, and it showed a barely there faint line well within the time limit. Went all wobbly from shock, but got excited. The line is still there today. Tested again this morning and nothing Sad. Today is day 34. Where the is AF?

Very fed up.

Desperate please do stick around.

Oh, and just to keep up the thread kinkiness - my advice is never go outdoors in a wooded area where there are midges. They bite you in places you didn't know you had Wink
