Thank you. I hope you are lucky this month!

Loujalou · 28/07/2010 21:46

UmBungo - am going to be in the hospital lavs waiting for you with hankies and some white lightening.

Sorry I raced off saw DH heading in and no dinner made, oops.

Umbongo I hope it wasnt too bad today, knowing the eventual is going to happen, and still waiting. You are a brave soul. I feel for you cos it won't be nice but it will be over.
[I'll bring some fags and a sneaky bottle of warm Leibfraumilch] Yikes I can still remember the sicky taste.

Still no AF yet for me. I'm resisting POAS til next week if I can. Tho I did get some in preparation...hehe

Loujalou · 28/07/2010 21:50

When are you due Youngy??

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 28/07/2010 21:55

I hope they're not as grim as the ones where they go for the sperm in a dish deposits, cos hospital lavs are never nice.

But I'll bring the best quality hanky for you!

NOTHEROLDIE · 28/07/2010 21:58

well not sure, cos things are not usual since ERPC.
I used to have up to 35 days but was as short as 29 so any day

Icedlemonmuffin · 28/07/2010 22:56

UmBongo we will all be in the lavs with you and your dh. Hope he isn't easily scared, the sight of us in boob tubes, short skirts ,bad fake tan and cornbeef legs all squashed in a nhs lav!

I've got some cherry lambrini, thought I'd try and get one of my five a day in as well.

On a more serious note buy a cheap pack of knickers (so you can throw them after) and a couple of packs of thick night time towels and make sure you have got some strong painkillers. Big hugs.

NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 11:46

AF (the bitch) arrived.

Budge up in the pit for a grumpy one.
Matron has sent me down with a large pack of sanitary napkins (Help yourself to a few Umbongo) and a flask of cocoa and some ginger biscuits. (Might help Lemony with the sickness)...

I'm here for the duration. I thought I was on to a winner with 9 goes. And DH is off on a jolly so I can't even whinge to him. Poop poop and poopety poop. NOT FAIR.

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 12:49

Bitchy witch - how dare she come after you had so much sex and even shagged on the sofa. So rude - she needs to learn the rules.

Anyways there is plenty of booze in the pit - though some of it might have been drunk last night by me.

Can I join you??

I certainly have flamin' sore bits, and thrush to boot ! I'm on cd21-ish, and have swi'd like crazy this month......hoping it's worth it

NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 14:05

AF has a blatant disregard for the rules. I'll report her to mother nature. (Who also doesnt seem to be our friend at the moment)

I've got a keg of homebrew, have as much as you can stomach. (I'd give it a miss Lemonladybird may induce copious vomitous.

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 14:12

Welcome Harassed you are more than welcome to join us. At least you can give up SWI-ing for a while and rest you bits. How long have you been trying and do you have any monsters kids already?

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 14:13

Jump aboard, must bring cheap plonk, snacks and dress like a quality chav.

I hope you brought some luck, cos things arent happening in the baby bingo challenge

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 14:13

One of my friends is still trying for no 2 so don't feel like I am the only infertile one - shame she lives quite far away though

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 14:19

I feel greedy now, cos I already have kids. Each month is depressing when AF comes cos I know the clock is ticking but at least I have monsters kids to remind me to be grateful.

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 14:32

I have a monster too and am still (relatively) young but want more monsters but still get upset monthly! Look at Lia she had 5 but still wanted one more. We are allowed to be greedy!

OP posts:
Bicnod · 29/07/2010 14:40

Umbongo thinking of you today x x

nother - boo hiss bastard RTD - really needs to learn the rules.

Harassed welcome - I'm on CD14 and should be OV-ing shortly. My bits get sore even thinking about this time of the month.

I don't think it's greedy. If you want more you want more, you can't help the way you feel.

We're staying at FIL's this weekend which is prime SWI time so will have to do it very very quietly

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 14:41

Biccie you could just put a gag on yor DH - see I made you !

Right back to work.

OP posts:
harassedinhants · 29/07/2010 16:13

Lou & bicnod - hello!

Yes I have other children, 2 x ds's (19 & 21!) and dd who is 4. Dh also has a 12yr old. Dd is "ours"!! I'll be 40 soon , so it's kind of now or never.....

This is our 2nd cycle of trying. With all 3, I got a bfp on first cycle, and although I didn't expect it that quickly this time, all this is new to me. So I'm pos'ing with the best of them lol. Was all uptight about it last month, but more chilled this month.

bic at swi'ing at in laws! Not sure I could .....

NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 16:35

Oh Harrassed I'm in good company I see.
The dreaded 40 really was a count down clock (for me anyway). Almost 42 now, (have 19yr old also!!) And a 3 & 2. MMC in May and didnt want that to be my last 'failed' one.

The word DESPERATE comes to mind. After not really trying with all 3, I took it for granted all my bits worked, but I've got knackered old eggs now (and sore bits to boot!) and AF isn't helping my mood at the moment as you can see with this bloody moany old rant.
Sorry gals [dives back into pit, hangs head and weeps snakebite tears]

BIC go for it, how saucy! ( I wouldnt tho I'm not that brazen!)

UmBongo · 29/07/2010 19:49

Welcome Harassed, hope you've got your boob tube and short skirt, cas we're all off down the lavs in my hospital on wednesday!

I'm trying for no2 also and am 37, so am not far behind you, although I was 35 when we started trying for no2.

Nother I really thought you would win this month with NINE shags. And don't worry about moany old rants, we are all well qualified at those!

Biccie, I hope your fil has a big house! Enjoy!

harassedinhants · 29/07/2010 21:00

Nother -yes tis a tad disheartening not to fall straight away, I kind of half heartedly expected too.........just hoping my eggs are not totally fried yet!!! Plus sore bits..... not fair after trying so hard this month,although think dh is glad of the rest .

UmBongo yup have short skirts and boob tube.......see ya down the lavvies!

Am ridiculously excited to be off out for a night on the town with dh on Saturday, can't remember the last time we did this!! Have bought a "shag me" dress, and then realised it'll be the wrong time of the month, but what the hell.......

Icedlemonmuffin · 29/07/2010 21:09

Hello and welcome Harassed we are a lovely bunch of ladies and we look like 'guests' off a jk show, all short skirts, hooped earings , bellys hanging over our short skirts and tats

Talking about lavs, my doctors surgery has got blue lights in it (lav not actual surgery) makes it very hard to see. Had to pee in one of them really little pee jars and couldn't see a thing and ended up peeing all over my hand! Dh and dd thought it was really funny and i had to tell gp I couldn't produce any wee. Bloody blue lights!

I finally got my two lines on my 13 th cycle after mmc and it took me 24 cycles when I got two lines with mmc, so don't give up hope, keep shagging (easier said than done I know) I will be the shag cheerleader for everyone shagging

Loujalou · 29/07/2010 21:45

LemonCheerleader instead of pompoms me imagines you have bags with cans of cider that clatter as you do your cheerleading in your short skirt and thong.

OP posts:
NOTHEROLDIE · 29/07/2010 21:58

Thongs!
My DH does thong-watch. He says its a little competition to see the most inappropriate person with too much thong on show... so he says.

I love the idea of pom poms , I'm cheered up already. Thanks ladieeees. x
