Ah, so your thinking was that today's sperm might fertilise next week's egg? Possible, but not likely. I'd say go for it pretty much constantly from next Wednesday through to Monday . I'd get a few good sleeps in if I were you

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 22:11

Dh thought it did. I think I OV next saturday. My mum has ds so we dont have to worry about waking him.

Diege · 16/02/2008 21:38

err, between 3 and 5 days tops I think. Can I ask why?

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 21:16

Just got in from the meal, It was lovely, bit drunk now.
Dont they say sperm lasts 7 days.

Diege · 16/02/2008 20:04

Ah yes, the voice of reason...why indeed would a sonographer (and an actor playing a sonographer at that )know about home birthing! Think it's story-line driven as it leads to whathisname (the real father) getting Violet's flat professionally cleaned etc etc - ie pissing her off even more, etc, leading to her trying to do a runner from hime and then going into labour in the Rovers a month early (as you do..)
Ditto with X-factor - love it too! Am making do with American one at the moment on ITV2 . Have a good evening!

NatalieJane · 16/02/2008 19:52

That made me laugh on Corrie, the boyfriend is supposed to be a sonographer, not a midwife! What is he supposed to know about home birthing?!!

Yep, Ant and Dec, Casualty, my lovely liquer stuff and sex, can't get a much better Saturday night in my book Until X factor starts again at least!!

Right I am off now, DH is coming down from putting them to bed! xxxx

Diege · 16/02/2008 19:38

Hi NJ! . Yes, we have been obsessing about BFPs !
I know what you mean about home births. I'm closer to considering it this time then with other 3 (I also got pre-eclamsia with dd1), but was put off by comment on Corrie last night that the house has to be 'scrupulously clean' .
Enjoy your ant and dec . It's Casualty all the way for me!

NatalieJane · 16/02/2008 19:32

Evening all You have all been nice and busy

Have a nice meal Kay, will be waiting for your BFP report soon enough

How is everyone's weekend going? We have had a good day, nipped into town for a few bit's this morning, and potted about this afternoon.

Not staying because it is nearly bed time, and Ant and Dec are on.... hooorah!!!!

My home birth went out of the window after I got Pre-Eclampsia, but I didn't really want it in the first place, looooong old staory, can go into major detail if you want, but I haven't got time now!

Right, bed time, and alcohol time Enjoy the rest of the weekend girlies, DS1 has his half term this week, so don't know how much I will be on! But will try to keep up to date G'night xxx

Diege · 16/02/2008 19:25

Have a lovely meal Kay, and see you Monday LL

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 19:04

I've just got ready for my meal out. How typical that I have the first spot I've had in ages today when I'm going out. Have a good evening all.

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 17:46

Good work Kay, i defo agree you are going to be first with the BFP.

Right ladies i am off. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and i will catch up with you all on Monday.

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 17:07

No Im not using them, Im just working it out myself, dh says if we have sex every day then it doesnt matter when I OV
Men, its all they think about.

Diege · 16/02/2008 16:04

Ooh Kay how exciting . Are you using those OPK stick things, or just going by the false nail method? .

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 15:41

I've got about 5 days till OV I think!!!

Diege · 16/02/2008 15:22

I don't know (probably NJ with her rampant GOF -ing ). Think I might be towards the end because of my age! (and my non-rampant-ness).

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 15:17

oh diege i hope so... I wonder who will be first with the BFP and when it will be??

Diege · 16/02/2008 14:57

Ooh LL, and you do know that you are (supposedly) more fertile than usual in the 3 months following coming off the pill?
I predict a spate of BFPs in the next 6 months or so!

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 13:38

I am getting excited now as well i am two days into my pack of pills and wont be taking them again once i finish.

I am so excited and i just cant hide it.

Diege · 16/02/2008 13:31

Meant pregnacare not preganacare . Just in case you were searching the shelves! I'm half thinking about the Zita West ones, but not sure I can justify £17 for a 30 day supply .
Well had the crappest meal ever at local Indian. It was freezing cold, took an hour for food to arrive (NOT the best with toddlers), they got the order wrong so dd3 didn't get her meal, AND to top it all they had the cheek to add 10% service charge to our bill . As with many usually good places, they don't seem gearing up to lunchtime trade (suffice to say they didn't get the 10%!!)
Well feeling very pre-menstruel here - af due Tues-ish. Can't beleive I'll just have one more after that before ttc !!! (unless all that dipping it in has done the trick, and my cramps etc are symtoms..

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 13:12

Keep it by your bed i always remembered to take it last thing at night then..

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 12:48

I might get some too..
Its just remembering to take it, I forgot most days while expecting ds

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 12:46

I will be going to get some preganacare later today..

kayzisbroody · 16/02/2008 12:28

Oh I hadnt thought about Vitamin D, may have to get some preganacare.
The folic acid I took with ds had vitamin d in it too but this doesnt

lardylumps · 16/02/2008 11:15

Last time I went dry slope skiing I fell over and skidded down on my face burning my nose on the mesh....

Can laugh about it now but at the time I had just got together with my first boyfriend and he dumped me because I had a bright red nose for a week.

He He He He

Diege · 16/02/2008 11:00

Morning . LL, I would take something like preganacare that I think had vitamin D in too perhaps? COSMO, skiing sounds great - have fond memeories of the artificial slope I went on asa child, though did breal my thumb after catching it in the 'turf'.
Must dash, catch up later!
