Join The First Time Frolickers, trying to conceive their first child. Plenty of moral support, fun, dietary advice and most importantly, BFPs!!

How long have you been trying for raspberry? I think my hubby feels exactly the same, he just doesn't know what to say, but I guess there isn't anything that anyone can say to make you feel better. As Fairy says, feel free to rant away to us.

Maybe we should make up rude meanings for all of the boring acronyms to put a smile in your face

Raspberry you can have slippery fanny flaps if it makes you feel better.
Altho im mot sure how much fun slippery fanny flaps would be.... esp in jeans

Oops silly name changing. im the inventor of Slippery fanny flaps :)
Sex for fun makes more sense but my fave has got to be sucky flap flipper

Sex for fun - sorry it's boring lol!!!

Not sure what sff means but have made up suitably dirty meanings for it :)
slippery fanny flaps
super fun fk
sausage finger fK
sucky flap flipper
DP added sandy fanny flaps but i dont think thats very dirty

Winter - I think I still am recovering lap & dye - currently have slight infection in belly button & none of the stitches have dissoved so nhave a Dr app on saturday!

Nearly - my DH has been downstairs watching fims till 2am & I know it's late in our cycle but SFF would be nice!!!

Aww big hugs raspberry!!! know exactly how you feel!! Vent away on here!

CEDR - Happy Birthday!!!

Oh Raspberry how awful. :-( How are you feeling now? I totally sympathise and know exactly how you feel. Put your feet up with some choccies tonight. Is your hubby/partner at home to give you a big hug? x

Happy new year all!
Today is my birthday (yay ) but I got a sicky bug so have mostly loitered on the sofa! Did a pg test yesterday which was negative (which is fine as I hadn't expected to be fertile again for months after coming off the Depo)... So could have a birthday drink but feeling too sick! Rubbish!

Anyone know the difference between cheap pg tests and brand name ones? Except how impossible it is to get into the packaging of the cheap one!!

JNO my excription makes lap sound grim, but it was so worth it! The most fantastic results. Used to have period pain so dreadful i would black out. Lap totally fixed it. It also magically changed my cycle from 5 weeks to 27 days on the dot. It is a kind of magical operation. :)

No, the HSG had indicated I had a blocked tube so they decided to perform the lap to get a better look. When they went in they discovered both my tubes were absolutely fine and that what probably happened was that my tube went into spasm during the HSG and clamped itself shut Apparently it is fairly common!

Part of me would love a go at living on pizza KFC and WKD to see if the feckless lifestyle got me upduffed!

Someone v close to me claimed their pregnancy following a ONS was despite the use of a condom and I have no reason to disbelieve them.

Gosh ladies lap sounds horrid. Hope it'll all be worth it in the end. What happened with yours then cave? Did they think you had endeo but found out you didn't by doing the lap?

Winter I ended up having a week off work after mine, though they did let me go home the same day. It was my first General Anaesthetic and it knocked me sideways. Turned out to be an unnecessary procedure - my HSG indicated a blocked tube but the Lap proved otherwise.

We'll all get there in the end!

I thought about it alot before we started ttc but now its constant.
dp has gone to bed early to read his new baby book. What have i created.
All the things you have all been through sounds awful but i hope it will be worth it when you get your bfp

Cavemum a fellow lap survivor! They aren't fun, are they? I was blithely assured i would be able to go the gym the same evening as the surgery, but after they sliced me open they decided actually no, they were keeping me in overnight, and i wouldnt be recovered for two weeks. That was in October. But it certainly seems useful! We had never tried ttc before this December cycle, but i am sure without lap it wouldn't have been possible at all. Endometriosis sucks!

Rasp i am giggling madly at the sex-ed-defying strategies you outline there. I think also rogue indie music in rhe background. Good point re the profound trauma of the Cucumber Demonstration - sex ed teachers have much to answer for! Let's get pitchforks!

Re caffeine, i have a secret addiction - rooibos tea. It ia caffeine free but SO delicious ... I like it more than tea or coffee. It is called redbush here i think, i grew up in africa and got hooked on it there. I think i read it was good for anti oxidants etc, but mainly i just adore the taste. Could drink buckets!

we got given penises, not real ones as i think that might be slightly illegal
so it turns out giving up smoking isnt the best thing to do when ttc. we both want to throttle each other and not in a sexy way.

Good plan!!

I was thinking about this "you can still get pregnant with a condom" thing yesterday (when watching Friends!). Is that really true? Does anyone know anyone that has happened to in real life? surely the condom has to be out of date or not put on right or something.

I don't remember getting any demos Raspberry but I bet the poor boys went home with massive complexes after that!

I'll join the hunt to get the sex ed teacher!!!

Cave - know how you're feeling hon!

Well raspberry it seems to be lucky as we have had 1 bfp already. so this can be the uber lucky frolickers thread.
