Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

Ratting on 'frauds': an excellent moral dilemna. Discuss.

Duchesse's sister's ex (apostrophe crisis) - well - I think so, don't you, as long as there's some incontrovertible facts to back up the 'ratting'.

Impy's uncle, well, yes.

How does anyone learn if they don't get told off when they've done wrong? Etc etc.

And agree that Duchesse should take Huts of Doom as basis for hugely entertaining 'Christmas Stocking Filler' type / Holiday read book. I see Richard & Judy appearances and book signings the country over.

So if we go out and shag a one night stand we might egt pg quicker - bloody hell! Anyone up for trying and reporting back!

lottie!! - I thougt you might appear if I quoted you!!

I also just read that OV usually happens in the afternoon - around 4pm for most!!!

Might need to replan sex schedule - you never know - am that desperate it is worth a 4pm try on day of OV!! (obviously it will mean missing at least some of Deal or No Deal - uh-oh!)

Synchronicity study seems to be saying that there are a large number of Gl/Doomers on CD2-6. Frankly, Mr Shankly, that's as synchronised as I've ever been with myself let alone anyone else.

Am feeling quite hysterical for some reason this afternoon after fighting tears away all morning. I'm not normally the roller coaster type but I am these last few days.

Seaside / Sunshine 10 pts for HMMOG!!!

Do you think when they say "spontaneous" they just mean OV that does not happen on textbook CD14 lets face it that is probably 85% of us!!!

That same comment set the chartspotters thread off a few weeks ago and we all thought it was load of old phoey and concurred that the above interpretation was prob right.

However one of the chart mates (londonlottie) did say she had read in a book called Sperm Wars that said something along the lines of:
"it is possible for intercourse to prompt ovulation if the body is feeling particularly 'primed' to get pregnant, it will pop an egg out in response to the presence of sperm. But this can only happen if ovulation hasn't already occurred that cycle"

But it would have to be in the vague area of ovulation anyway which is probably why all the advice is to go at it for the 3 days prior to OVl!

You mean you guys don't have sex for a week at a time?

I guess a totally unripened egg could ripen and get released while having sex if you have sex for about a week!

Go on post the question - can't wait to see the usual suspects become outraged at the idea. (I may add a post or two to stoke the fire)

I like straw - it is fun to clutch.

Ok, March ttc thread, post by mmk:

"Re your dates, it is a little known fact that spontaneous ovulation accounts for 85% of all pregnancies (which is why we need dating scans, and why so many people think they have got the dates wrong) It happens during sex, when a totally unripened egg gets ripened and released. It also explains why 'trying' doesn't work."

This was answered by bellabear, with

possible answer

Not sure what to believe. Probably just grasping at straws.

LOL at Impatience. Not something I have heard about in all my obsessive research I must admit. Although my friend told me that I should stress about ovulation times because 'if it was going to happen, the sperm would find the egg wherever it was' WTF?

What's 'spontaneous ovulation' supposed to mean? Egg wakes up on a Monday morning and decides to skive off work and go to the beach instead? Leaps out at you with flowers? Jumps up and shout I RESIGN! without a moments consideration?

Surely the egg does have to mature before it can be released. It's not just sitting there twiddling it's thunbs-to-be so it can randomly leap out.

Tell us more and then I shall be happy to eat my hat (shall go and find a choccy one while I wait )

I have a question for you all before I starta thread on it (so I don't get laughed out of town).

I read in one of the ttc threads recently about spontaneous ovulation being responsible for around 85% of all pregnancies.

A medical person I asked about this looked at me as if I had just landed from the moon when I mentioned it to her recently.

So does it happen or is it wishful thinking/nonsense?

Hey, FMN, we all have our crutches! White wine spritzer - yuck! Why not drive, so you can have one really nice glass of whatever you really like, then sip fizzy water from a champagne glass all night - works for me!

And I won't "be" a bottle of anything, rather I'll BUY one......

Impatience, do you think I have issues cos when I just read your post saying go but don't get drunk, I thought "be social without booze!!!! Is it possible???"
Perhaps I will be a ready made bottle of white wine spritzer. That way, I can have a little tipple but there won't be any chance of me getting hammered. Do you think that will do?

I mean, yes, go, otherwise you'll just mope at home feeling that FTC is now messing up your social life, but just don't get drunk! If you start to get miserable, think of us and know you're not alone.

FMN, don't get drunk this weekend!

God, can you see all the agression flying around this place!!!
On talk of synchronisation, I am on CD6....how does that fit in?
On talk of spongers, they drive me mad!! I have a friend who is on council waiting list and who was advised by a housing advisor there that he recommended once she was housed that she didn't even consider getting a job for a good few months!! She has medical reasons, but WTF is he doing telling people that? I love the idea of distraction at dinner party for Duchesse though........
Pg friends/rellies/neighbours......my post from yesterday morning says it all....spent ages on saturday night literally bawling my eyes out to BF, full on with snot streaming and hiccups from crying so much, etc, etc, etc. OK, I was pissed, but the way I see it is its the real emotions that come out when drunk. So do I go to party this weekend and see pg friend and run the risk of doing the same thing again???

Duchesse, at your sister's ex. What a bastard.

LNO, am I right in thinking you took hormone meds etc for your IVF cycle? These might well mess up your usual 'signs', so try not to read too much into anything. What a stressful time. Lie in bed all day if you need to, regardless of whether or not it'll change whether you're pregnant.

Good luck x

We can send each other slaps Sunshine if you like because I have had a very weepy two days as well. It is so hard. I hate feeling like this so much, the worst part is feeling so helpless to change I am feeling about it if you know what I mean. I don't much like this depressed person I am becoming.

Actually no, I take that slap back.

You have every right to be weepy about it.

I'll send the cyber slap to her instead - naive or not.
