We're not obsessing, we're Just Shagging! Part III

[BrassicaBabe]

The 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday. Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended)

Covet thy husband and enjoy every minute. Shag at ever opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Resist the lure of ovulation predictor kits, Taking Control of Your Fertility and the dreaded First Repsonse. Knowing where you are in your cycle is entirely permissible though!

Going to the doctor is permitted if you've had a stupidly long cycle but beware of the dildo-cam-scan.

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'.

Keep us up to date with gossip!

***

Although all most of these rules are well and truely broken!! But we try to chill - honest

HTK sounds like we'll be 2WW buddies this cycle. Roll on the madness good times.

Tentative congrats Crow second lines, no matter how faint, are just what we need around here

Hope everyone else has had a good day.

Am busy self diagnosing on google. Have ruled out B6 deficiancy and am going with the progesterone deficiancy (early miscarriages and carb cravings, tick and tick). Can't make the drop in clinic tomorrow as have to do a supermarket dash before meeting parents off the train, so shall catch the Weds drop in clinic at the Drs.

What wine goes well with Haggis?

NMCB something red I'd say...is that vague enough?!

As long as it's a bucketful I say it doesn't matter

nomore, I too am falling to google's charms...

I find myself googling....
"early pregnancy signs nausea"

when I should be googling....

"learn how to stop eating haribo when you are full"

              and

"early pregnany signs fatigue and fever"

when I should be googling....

"how to avoid catching the common cold from friends"

ah, shite nomore that's just not fair :(
big virtual hugs to you (and a large barrel of red)
I'll be joining you and HTK this cycle I think..

Brassica - love the Haribo reference - there are highly-addictive drugs in those, I swear.

So, I know I've mentioned this before but I did a bit of research today on this pre-seed thing (which I found whilst searching for opk's on amazon :o)
Have a look, could interest some of you -

P.S. posted on the June thread too.

Aarrgh I bloody hate doctors surgerys! Trying to get through for an appointment to sort out why I'm off work sick (stress and needing to see doc to confirm this and provide sicknote) and to see if I AM pregnant or not. After ten mins hanging on the line I'm told there are no more appointments today as they're closed this afternoon and to call again tomorrow at 8am. Well, bollocks to calling - I'll be camped outside there tomorrow morning!

Geez, how is that supposed to help me - impatient little me, who wants to know NOW!!

Oh crowette do let us know.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be preggo this month. My temp was 96.8 this morning. Since ovulation they've been 97.1-97.2, which is what they were before ovulation last month. This month pre-ovulation they were 96.5-96.8. Don't know what that means except I'm colder than I thought! Maybe I didn't really ovulate this cycle.

Plus the sore boobs and achy back have pretty much gone.

At least I can join you all at the doctor's surgery as soon as AF arrives.

Right, rule breaks over. brassica, where's that haribo?

Morning all, feeling a bit better today, POAS last night [hangs head in shame], BFN but I was expecting it so not too disappointed. But I definitely think there's something going on down there so if I'm definitely not pg, I hope ERTD arrives on time, otherwise it'll be my first long cycle when I've been regular so far. Anyway, cross that bridge when we come to it.

We're having a bit of a change around at work so the other people who are staying here with me have decided that once my friend has left, and has been replaced and we are all settled, I can go and have a baby (how do people seem to bring it up when they don't know I'm trying!) so I have to go to another office and sit on 'that chair' which apparently is the pg chair and everyone who has sat on it over the past couple of years has fallen pg, even the people who have come in temporarily to cover maternity leave, have then got pg and gone on maternity leave themselves!

This is my plan viroids and I'm sticking to it

NMCB I hope you're feelin a little better today?

Crowette I'd be tearing my hair out! You have to ring my drs at 8am and keep ringing and ringing continually (it's constantly engaged) otherwise the oldies get aaaaalllll the appointments!

Josie - my Drs have a phone queue system, it doesn't connect you straight away, just tells you your place in the queue - pretty disheartening to hear 'you are 26th in the queue'! Then when it gets to 'you are first in the queue' it connects you to the surgery and then you have to go through options to make an appointment, then wait for them to answer the damned phone! So frustrating - hence me getting there tomorrow morning in good time for them opening at 8am

Now I have to call work to tell them I won't be in tomorrow either (got a rather bullying boss who I'm so close to taking out a grievance procedure against, after stepping down from supervisory role, mainly due to his attitude - lack of support and total negativity) The thought of going back at the moment is giving me anxiety attacks, heart rate speeds right up, got upset tummy and just want to cry at the thought of it :(

Of course, wondering if I AM pregnant or not is not helping either - on that note, showed OH the phone pic of my test and he could deffo make out the faint line, straight away and is overwhelmed and gone all over protective. Also informed me that my boobs seem heavier and firmer and tighter (after a good old grope, haha!!) They are very tingly this morning.

If I AM pregnant that poses the problem of finding somewhere else to live - we thought it'd take ages for us to conceive, so had time to get our own place sorted ... I'm staying with an elderly relative and he's at his parents (long story) but now I've taken a rather large cut in wages and he's not quite able to afford to move yet plus the elderly relative is heavy smoker and OH is angry that I'm breathing it all in. So we're having to consider social housing which will probably involve staying in a hostel for some time ... I certainly know how to make things hard for myself

Ooops sorry for the long post!!

Oh Crowette you?re stuck in the s**t a bit aren?t you! I?m a big believer in that people are stronger than they think and I?m positive it?ll all work out and no matter what is thrown at you you?ll deal with it.

My friend with her 11 month old baby might just be coming in to work today and I haven?t seen her since baby was only a couple of months old so she?ll have changed so much and I might even be brave enough to have a hug (if we hide somewhere so everyone isn?t watching my inadequacy!) Although, this is the same person who said I shouldn't be starting a family yet and I shouldn't have let DH push me into it (as if he could) and we haven't spoken since she said that so we'll see how things go. Maybe when we speak face to face she'll realise how much I want it. I know she's just looking out for me though.

I've dealt with a lot worse and on my own. At least I have my OH by my side now - he really is my rock :)

Fingers crossed with your friend! I was like your friend when a couple of my friends had unplanned pregnancies - thought they were daft to go ahead with them with their circumstances, but that was when I was very logical, emotionally cold, totally different to how I am now! Mind you, with one of them, I'm not sure how wrong I was

Right, I've had my toast and marmite, pee'd in an old glass for stick dippage later, and now I'm off out to get the sticks!! I WILL find out one way or another!

Afternoon everyone

I just met my friend and her 11 month old duaghter who I haven't seen since she was about 2 months. She is absolutely gorgeous! I got lots of smiles and hand clapping and box banging etc I could have snatched her away and eaten her!

She apologised for the text she sent me and said she didn't mean it to come across nastily and we had a good chat about how I feel about it all and I think she realises it's right for me as I have totally changed with her daughter compared to when I last saw her and I'm more relaxed so she went away happy

That's great Josie!! I haven't held a baby in years!! I suppose it'll all come flooding back :)

Went and bought 3 tests (one first response and a twin superdrug cheapy, but only used one of those) very faint line on the superdrug cheapy, but a much clearer (but still fainter than control)line on the first response ... is it ok to get my hopes up now? 3 tests can't be wrong, can they??

Am saving the 3rd one for FMU tomorrow so hoping to get a good solid line!!

Crowette I've only ever held 2 newborns and one 2 month old baby (the one I saw today) so I could do with plenty of practice! I thought I would feel jealous seeing her but actually I feel really optimistic now, as if it's in my head that it will happen for us one day, just gotta b patient.

Oooooooooooooo by the way!!!!!! I think you can probably get excited now. What does FMU mean?

Definitely get your hopes up crowette. The lines are never as dark as the control! Yeehah for you!

Off for a swim now. Boobs hurting again, but maybe only in imagination

First Morning Urine. that you're head's in the right place now Josie

Crowette My firstresponse packet says very clearly that a second line is a positive whether it's as dark as the control or not.

Just a flying visit today as my parents are here. Feeling pg sick today, but still fully bleeding. I just have to wait for the hormones to leave my system. Off to Dr in morning, nice and early. Want to tell my parents, but will discuss it with DH first I think as we haven't told anyone we're TTC.

Good luck with Dr appt nomore. Hope you manage to crack appointment system to get through the door crow

Well I'm only 5DPO but my head is doing mental things like planning future career around maternity leave. You are going to have to get the thread kipper out. AF due next Friday. Advanced Warning I'm going to be a bloody nightmare and will need propping up this month.

DH has his appointment to JIAJ tomorrow. Heavens knows why he's do het about about it. I refuse to sympathise. It is nothing like the tests the women have to go through Wuss!

Hi Viroids.

waves to everyone, hands massive lass or wine to NoMore

Have been of here for ages, as laptop broke, plus it's been the summer hols.

Still JS-ing. Still nothing. :(

Am due AF tomorrow and it is well on its way. Am a spotty, grumpy, bloaty mess. Add in my teary disappointment at obvs not being preg, and I am quite the attractive propspect for poor old DH!

Have been bloody stupid and done a test yesterday and an early one last week. Both BFN.

Never used OPK's before, but as soon as AF shows up, I'm hitting Boots.

In other news, DS starts reception on Monday and I could blart my eyes out every time it is mentioned :( :( :(

Pffft, bet everyone's glad I'm back eh?!

PS The infamous 'minjury' is healed

Welcome back Sleepy Glad the minjury is healed and you are back in the JSing saddle. Sorry witch AF has arrived.

I've still got this "low grade" nausea. I'm only 5DPO so any ideas in my head are just stooopid.

Crowette I researched the possibility of false positives a while back...If you have a line, even a faint one, you are pregnant..congrats!

Hey sleepy, welcome back. I am waiting for Af to arrive either tomorrow or thursday. Got all my symptoms with a vengeance and thoroughly miserable. :( Trying to keep it together in front of DH as I don't want to add pressure to the whole ttc thing.

On the positive side I had an amazing amount and quality of jsing this month and will be able to drink on my birthday [smug about something icon]

Brassica fingers crossed for you. :)

Welcome back Sleepy, sorry you?re feeling

Hang on in there Brassica!

Sorry you?re a bit miserable B2B. But good that you can drink on your birthday!

Well good morning everyone. I am sick of work completely and don?t want to work here any more, so I am looking at starting my own business. This could easily be a passing phase but I?m at least going to look into it. I want to do something that I can start maybe on the internet and continue to work (for what it?s worth) then branch out into premises perhaps.

Anyway, any tips greatly appreciated.

My friend said her best advice for TTC was to relax [not impressed emoticon]

Welcome back sleepy. Loving the 'minjury' (well, loving it now it's healed!). Still makes me wince thinking about it ...

brassica take this thwack with the kipper. But I need it too. Have a stinking cold, so that accounts for the achy muscles. Saw a preg test in a pocket of a bag this morning and I actually spent about 10 minutes seriously thinking about doing it. I am 8DPO! What a wally.

Forgot to tell you something ridiculous that happened to me yesterday. I was driving to work (it takes just over an hour) and got to the last big roundabout. I pulled up, scratched my nose (I swear I was only scratching the end of it) and looked to my right. There was a man in the passenger seat of a lorry sticking his face up against the window and lavishly picking his nose at me and laughing his head off. This went on until the lights went green. WTF is a girl supposed to do??!! I wanted to wind the window down and yell out 'I wasn't picking my nose!' but I thought that would make it worse. He was about 40 too.

Anyway, apart from the drunken bruises on my arse and shins turning black that's about as exciting as it gets round here. Hate the f*ing 2ww!

Facebook update I wish I could write:
DH is upstairs wanking. He's taken my laptop because he's feeling the pressure which means I've got to surf the net on this stupid phone.
