Ooh Viv you do make me chuckle!

MotherOfCleo · 28/01/2013 22:55

haha, viv you flirt you Wink

Boodle9 · 28/01/2013 22:52

I haven't taken symptom spotting seriously for ages and I'm surprised (not in a condescending way, I might add) that there are people who can still keep that hope going even when we're talking years, not months! Fair play to them, I guess, but I need to make light of it on here when everything is so serious and depressing in real life.

Now, I'm going to go and fetch my fire extinguisher to cool Viv down after her AIBU flaming. Ah, sod it. Flings Wine at Viv. There, that'll do.

Boodle, I know! 'Tis a hoot (but a real shame some people think TTC has to be deadly serious all the time).

Mother, your breath smells like these Thanks

Why are these women making me out to be evil? Can't they see it's a tongue-in-cheek piss-take? [waves chipolata defiantly]

Hey, you've hooked a couple of wangers over there, Viv! They're even throwing sausages behind Olivia's back! Love it! Smile

Boodle9 · 28/01/2013 22:12

Viv is a law unto herself! Unleash her on AIBU and we have got some serious bun fighting sausage wanging going on!

I haven't symptom spotted for ages - gave up when I realised my uterine lining falls if I so much as sneeze. However, in my early days of TTC I got ever so excited about my bright yellow pee...until I realised I was just going a bit overboard with the B6 supplements. Flippin' idiot.

Bunnygirlie · 28/01/2013 22:09

Guess what I had for dinner wangers.....sausages!!!! I did grin to myself lol

Crikey viv just read your thread PMSL I bet you love a good squabble!

Aquarius1 · 28/01/2013 22:09

V brave viv - you are a voice of sanity in a world of lunacy - but i guess its not what some people want to hear. They are not ready for the sausage of wang. most of my 2ww cramps have just been bowel movements Smile

happylass · 28/01/2013 22:01

Hahahahahaha Viv there are waaaaaaaay too many people on AIBU who take themselves waaaaaaaay too seriously. Good for you Grin

MotherOfCleo · 28/01/2013 22:00

haha, just checked it viv and those women are mean Hmm

Tell them to do one! Loved the skiing comment by the way Wink

p.s hallotosis pft Wink

Boodle9 · 28/01/2013 21:54

Bloody hell, Viv! Very brave of you! Waiting with baited breath to see how that thread pans out! Grin

Oh, and the Sundy thing...I tried to correct it but obviously pressed send before doing so...hence the double message of random waffle!

I went to the supermarket earlier and spent a good ten minutes just laughing in the sausage aisle. What have you done to me, woman?!

Feel like I should try to mention TTC in some of my posts, given the whole point of this thread and all. I'm on CD 11 (I think...maybe 12? Hmmm!) and haven't DTD yet as DH is going for SA. Hoping OV doesn't happen for a few more days. Are there any more acronyms I can squeeze in? Answers on a postcard.

Bunny just 33 (eek), CD2, cycle 9, married, have 2 furry babies and work in a boring office job.
MotherOfCleo 29 (till March), ttc#1, month 4, bfp due 1 feb (fx) owns one grouchy cat and one loony pooch, works for an ad agency, currently for a fetal scanning client, horribly ironic.
Sophie80 33 ttc#1, month 19, AF due next week (not sure of date as some scumbag has nicked my phone!)
Aquarius 31, cycle [think its 10 now] 5ish dpo, af due 4 feb-ish, lazy so-and-so who's still in bed whilst typing this.
Happylass 34 (but not for much longer boohoo) CD2 of cycle 6. AF due Feb 21st
Viv 41 (fuck off!) 5DPO, 11th cycle since mmc, champion sausage-wanger, nice tits.
2cats222 newlywed won't shut up about it & 31, CD10 of cycle 7
Boodle 29, cycle 18, waiting for first fertility specialist appointment and queen of the short luteal phase
SidneyBristow 37 (for a little while longer, anyway), CD15 of cycle 7, married, determined to be optimistic even if it's bloody hard work!
Navis 35, cd13 cycle 4 (this time round - 4 mmc previously), af due 14 Feb, would definitely give Aquarius a run for the money in laziness stakes
Pipbin 37 cycle 18 or 19, not sure, AF due 28th Feb

Buf, sorry retro

Am confused about LP length now...

retroelement · 28/01/2013 21:17

I'm out for this month. I had created all manner of secret squirrel symptoms in my head, such as nausea (after eating an entire pizza to myself), boobs not only sore but feeling really weird (new bra) but these were swiftly followed by spotting (period).

twinklestar2 · 28/01/2013 21:13

I thought a 10-16 day LP was ok?!

viviennewestwould · 28/01/2013 21:11

No, Mother, no problem whatsoever, just unusual, that's all (some women have 16 day luteal phases).

OP posts:
MotherOfCleo · 28/01/2013 20:53

just checked viv and last month was a 15 day LP too.....is that bad? Hmm

MotherOfCleo · 28/01/2013 20:32

no worries viv hope you're ok chick.

I have a 29ish day cycle and got a positive opk eaelier than expected, as far as I know and by my calculations AF due Friday, both apps also say the same. Do you think I'm due before or after then? I thought a long LP was a good thing rather than bad? Confused

Gah. Sorry about my curmudgeonly post. Just had a volcanic row with the Bombay bastards at 3. Fucking retarded c**ts [thwacks Mr. Viv repeatedly around the noggin with sausage just 'cos he's breathing]

Navis, look into immune issues testing - at least ask about it.

Mother, if you are 12DPO today how on earth can your period only be due on Friday (16DPO)?? That would give you a fifteen day luteal phase Confused

Re exercise: over on the Assisted Conception threads all the women who have IUI/IVF are told by their consultants not to do any exercise during the 2ww. Now why do you suppose that is...?

I'm 6DPO today and my temp has dropped below the coverline. Also I had a metallic taste in my mouth whilst sucking on a spoon. Please start buying my 'CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!' cards..
