Just Shagging Part 10; No science or skill, JS at will!

Agree re the spotting guinea - I sometimes notice this a few days before ertd shows up.....although as wing says it can just as easily be nothing, just one of those things, so try and pretend it's not happening so you don't wind yourself up over it!

I am loving the Pampered Chef website! Kitchen porn! Have already mentioned it to DH so that he's well prepared ahead of my birthday, and will be looking into going to/hosting a party too :)

Well, today is mine and DH's 6-month wedding anniversary.....i think a celebratory JS will be in order this evening :o:o

wing hope your migraine goes soon

That's spotting I think Guinea and after my extensive research when I was waiting for ERTD last month, it can be completely normal and leave to nothing else. Even brown bleeding can be totally fine when pg - you'll know if it is ERTD or not. Try not to worry about it - it's easy to get obsessive (I know), running to the loo every hour to check what's happening but there's nothing you can do about it

I've got a migraine this morning. Probably the first one since we moved up here 15 months ago. I'm sure I read somewhere that if you take paracetamol/ibuprofen it can affect the thing-that-is-the-egg-and-sperm from implanting so I really didn't want to take anything but I have had to as it is bad.

Practising sorry about the chatting :( Top, yes that's it - relic flu!

Ok. So TMI warning...

I thought I saw a slight tinge of colour on the tissue when I wiped after having a wee. Couldn't decide whether it was just the light in the room so decided to have a fiddle around up there and see what came out.

Well, it was thick (not like blood) and sort of browny/pinkish (but could neither be described as Brown or as pink). Any ideas? Have never noticed this before ERTD in the past but I suppose I've never really checked before now.

wing I think you may find that your DH is actually suffering from relic flu (we have a serious case of it here tonight I'm afraid!)
Relic flu is even worse than man flu (IME) and definitely puts paid to any shag cape action (though the victim was asleep by 9.45 with the heating turned up tonight so I have abandoned that idea for tonight)
I am in the 2WW but also little idea when ERTD is due, I figure by the end of July as I will be on CD35 by then. I confess that after DH's one man shagging crusade I shall be a little extra disappointed if ERTD does turn up

You lot don't half talk!... Pages and pages to catch up on!

Guinea I so want to host one of those parties! That is going to be an aim of mine by the end of summer the year.

We have had a lovely weekend away in Bournmouth which was fab, I was getting over a cold though, so just one JS, but will jump him again tonight, like wing Im in the 2 ww, except with no idea when ERTD will arrive! but it will

Well hellooooooooo Guinea! I might reacquaint myself with the current brochure but I do fancy the new bit of stoneware with the ridges. I won't hijack this thread though, I'll be in touch

Poor DH has come down with manful a cold so it's a good job JSing isn't on the agenda for tonight. I finished the little bit of left over from last night while he had a lemsip.

And we're watching Lancashire cricket on Sky so I'm having to record BINTM. At least it means I can FF through the adverts when I do watch it :)

Kitten what Wing said!! Pampered Chef is brilliant (I am a consultant Wing).

I do it as a hobby/to earn extra money and its so flexible because I choose my own hours. I LOVE the products and they too make me feel like a domestic goddess!! we do cooking parties to give people the chance to try before they buy and find out about the products. They are also really fun nights in. You should try to get to one. Or better yet host one and get loads of free stuff!!

Wing You can order here if you like?

Oops, trigger happy fingers....

top your current job sounds lovely, such a shame about the redundancy. Still, managers exams does sound exciting and a flexible, friendly working environment has SO much to say for itself. I wish I could find an office with that kind of atmosphere.

Ooh sounds fab, thanks for the tip will give it a google

Manager level eh Top - that's not to be sniffed at! I have a colleague who used to work for McDs. He ended up going out to Israel to help train staff when they opened up over there (in the 90s I'm guessing). He always says what a great team environment it was and free food

Kitten Pampered Chef does parties - a bit like Tupperware used to - and sells really excellent quality kitchen and bakeware. Some of it is pretty pricey but if you host a party yourself you get a big discount and free stuff too and 10% for a year afterwards. Their stoneware is amazing which is stuff you can use in place of baking trays, tins etc etc and cooks without extra fat and oil (and it makes me feel like a domestic goddess!). You can buy it online but it's better to find a 'consultant' who will then earn money through your purchases.

wing I am a photographer at the hospital, doing newborn baby photos. Sadly threatened with redundancy (and no pay out as I have not been there long enough) I have decided to go back to the ubiquitous golden arches :( When I worked there before I loved it once I had got over myself :o as it was completely stress free and SO flexible and it would be regular money. I was doing my managers exams and have been told I can go back at my old level so, with the way the world is at the moment it would be foolish not to take it and make plans from there plus nothing is likely to make me fall pregnant than a return to full time work

What's Pampered Chef stuff?

Wing am very of your plans to visit the Lakes - that's my absolute favourite place in the country!

Well I'm suitably jealous of all your lovely plans for the week - and even some of the less lovely ones. My boss is away so I can't even count on work to keep me occupied

guinea I have to say that from your list of symptoms i'd be pretty confused as to why there was no BFP too! You do hear of some ladies having delayed HCG release though don't you?

Oh and Guinea I love Pampered Chef stuff. Do you work for them? I may need a couple of bits ordering if so and I'm happy to give you the order instead of doing it online :)

Guinea I bet my not my iPhone hat that you are pg. It just seems far too weird that you are getting obvious symptoms like this... Fingers crossed anyway :)

Top Handing your notice in? Not knowing what you do I can't tell whether this is a sad thing or a great and exciting thing??

My week involves work - yawn- hopefully getting my stuff out to public consultation today, more work, a bit more work, hopefully seeing my cousin and her family who have got a holiday home in the Lakes on Thursday, v naice, then my DNeice's birthday party and hopefully DS staying over (but now I'm due to have ERTD there'll be no JSing disappointingly...), church on Sunday etc etc.

I had a dog like that once guinea but she started carrying a slipper round with her and curling up in her bed to feed it. If you begin to experience an attraction to comfortable footwear then you may be right! :o
My week consists of nothing terribly exciting. This weekend I topped off my new grown up attitude by paying ALL the bills (and doing meter readings and other such dullness) so payday on Friday will be very welcome! DS has Cubs later which means the rest of the evening will be spent listening to more details about the camp he's going on despite the fact he is FAR too young and has no business jollying off and leaving me and DH alone Then I think I will hand my notice in at work and prepare for the summer holidays- oh and its raining again

Well Kitten my interesting week consists of:

someone quoting for windows this evening (I really know how to live don't I?!);
hosting a focus group for a fellow PhD student tomorrow night (on child neglect - it should be quite interesting actually);
Wednesday is my DDs last toddler gymnastics session and I have a ladies fellowship/growth group in the evening which I always love;
Thursday I think I may be taking my DD on a Church 'mums' outing to Cannon Hall farm - this is really exciting as I love day trips!;
Friday - Saturday I'm at the Pampered Chef national conference in Birmingham which I've been told is brilliant;
and then Sunday is Church day.

My week in a nutshell. Quite a lot on but nothing to be spectacularly jealous about :)

Incidentally I have now convinced myself I am experiencing a phantom pregnancy. I'm having almost continual lower abdominal aching, lower back pain, metallic taste in my mouth, larger breasts, tingling nipples, indigestion and bloating, nausea and tiredness and yet still a BFN!

Oh bugger - I've just checked my app and apparently ERTD is due on Thursday! I wish I hadn't checked now as I still thought it was well over a week away. It thinks I OVd on the 5th. I think we were still JSing EOD around then but I didn't input the little hearts (to monitor when you've JSed).

At least I'm near the end of the 2WW instead of at the start I suppose. I can't believe that it has been 4 weeks since I was thinking that I was pg :(

And anyway, I'm not going to PIAR for ages this time round if ERTD is late. I just hope it turns up soon if it is going to instead of mucking me about like last time

Arrgh guinea you poor thing you must be going crazy - scream away, we certianly don't mind being screamed at :). I'm due around the 30th, same as top, so 2ww coming up.

top i really did have to exercise some self control this weekend, especially when we had friends round for dinner on saturday! Have to admit I do feel better for it though.

So does anyone have any fun plans for this week? I have nothing planned at all, so go ahead and make me jealous!

something :o
wing yay for tipsy JSing
frying how intriguing, hurry back soon!
guinea I would be tearing my hair out if I was on CD45 and no BFP. It must be so hard to keep on smiling and JSing :( I am due at the end of July (sometime!) so you can live vicariously through me for a bit if it helps :)
kitten the no drinking is shit really isn't it? To be fair we do have a little drink at the weekend which makes me pissed as a parrot if I'm not careful is nice :o
As for DH, he phoned me earlier to apologise for his mardy arse act yesterday so if we don't JS tonight there will be no justice in the world :o

lol im not going because we dont talk. its up to DP if he wants to go

Gosh, not sure i've ever heard of someone starting smoking in pregnancy 'for the baby's sake'! I suppose it takes all sorts...

Looking forward to an update from Frying. Just about to dash out for a physio appointment but just wanted to scream tell someone it's been 45 days since my last period. My OH doesn't get quite how frustrating it is so I thought I would tell you lot. My attempts at focusing on JSing regardless only lasted the weekend. Back to being grumpy about it now :)

When is everyone due to test again - I need someone else to concentrate on!!

do i win a prize for most number of not strictly necessary emoticons in one two-line post?!

well she sounds an absolute delight! Don't blame you for not wanting to rush round and visit. So sad for the DCs though :(

And hurray to tipsy shagging! Am a bit actually - if we hadn't have been doing this ridiculous no drinking thing I could probably have plied DH with alcohol last night and had my wicked way with him....:o

lol shes the most controlling person ever. she BFs but not for the fact its good for them its for the fact that no one else can feed them. she BLWs so they feed themselves and her DP isnt even allowed to change their nappies.

this time around no one is allowed to go to the hospital and there going to rules when people go and visit so hence me and DP arnt going.

Sorry should have been
