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

Shout if I've missed anyone.

brassica, how was the dinner party? What do you mean all this logging in is pissing you off? Are us viroids annoying you with our too-too-many posts ?

Have you done another test? Yesterday's has a distinct pink line on it now for me, and I did one this morning and it is again inconclusive ... can't tell if I could see the line or not before ten minutes though there is the faintest of lines there now. But I must stress, I don't think this is a BFP because if I was hoping not to be pregnant I definitely wouldn't see this line

However, my boobs hurt like fuck (sorry for the language, but my bra hurts them, they ache all the way through, it hurts to touch my nipples) and I almost vomited this morning despite having only had two drinks last night. The excessive thirst and achy back I had last time around have also returned.

But still no bona fide BFP, so all of this may just be hormonal.

Inspired by other lurkers who have popped out recently, I'm tentatively poking my nose round the door of this thread to say hello and can I join in please?
I like lurking, but am in serious need of a kipper to the face to keep me from going insane before the end of this week.
We're only on month 2 of TTC, and we got cold feet in the middle of last month so I suppose it's only round 1 really.
I'm in need of the kipper because a) I have rather variable cycles, anywhere between 27 and 37 days, and b) I didn't get any signs of ovulation this month, despite copious symptoms every other since coming off the pill in March. Now on CD28 and wondering how soon I can test.

Well Eskarina, obviously you should wait until CD38 to test butif I were you I would have already tested about a thousand times. So it's up to you really!

Hey eskarina, what are your usual signs? Have you got any symptoms?

If I were you I'd do one test now and if it's a BFN I'd then try to wait until CD38.

brassica, I'm taking your silence for good news ... well, either that or a hangover

Sounds v promising takethat! Hang in there, hopefully we can graduate together! BFN for me today. No hint of a pink line (and I've just got it out of the bin to check ) I've still got those little crampy feelings I've had since 4DPo (10DPO today) Although sources tell me there's only a 29.7% chance of BFP on 10DPO.

Dinner party was good. A late finish at 2pm. Shag and then snoring DH kept me awake until 3am. This morning I've done several loads of dishwashing and handwashing. We've also been to see puppies. We're getting a little doggy sister for the other pooch followed by something to eat and now I'm ready for a sleep. Hence the silence from me today.

Nothing on my PC has changed (cookies etc), but I have to login everytime I access MN now. Otherwise all of our pages are merged into one long page. The same on my phone. It's pissing me off. Turn it back to how it was please MN!

Welcome eskarina Congrats for de-lurking I second takethat's advice. Wait until CD38 to test.....No, we both mean POAS now!!

I need to check my pee-stick stores. I'm not sure how many I've got left

Hello everyone - I'm back! Well not really, I'm still on holiday but back in the land of the internet, so just catching up! There has been some very funny reading on here (and some crappy news too, sorry for those who have ongoing/new problems :()

Have lost track of my cycle a bit - umm must be on day 21 of a normal 28 day cycle. However, was due to OV last Sunday, did have some pant snot in the days before but no pains in my side which I normally get. Shagged on Saturday, Sunday, Monday (and Thursday, just for fun!) so could be in luck, but not feeling anything so far! I have however been doing lots of unhealthy things such as drinking a fair amount (well, I am on my holidays!!!

Today decided I had the faintest bit of brown "sludge" when I wiped. My mind immediately went "oooh implantation" but really I know nothing of such things - when would you normally expect to see that? I do get some spotting in the days before ERTD, but not normally a full 7 days before?

Soo confused! However I am sitting in a fairly stunning spot looking out over the sun setting on a beautiful harbour, in a plush hotel, listening to Jazz from the bar downstairs. So frankly right this second I don't care if I'm PG or not :)

(Yeah right, obviously that would just be the icing on the very gorgeous cake!!)

Will hopefully manage to be on over the next few days. Hello to all the newbies/lurkers (furklers?)

Hmm, I've only just started to recognise ov signs - after 12 years on the pill. I think I generally get EWCM followed by sore boobs, neither of which appeared this month. Then this week, I've had spotting - I never ever have that. So like Nelly I immediately thought ooh implantation??? Long chat with best friend convinced me further. But no other pg symptoms.
My problem is I only have 1 pee stick! I was going to pick up some more with the weekly shop, but went to waitrose and they only had v v expensive ones. Need a trip to tesco.
I think I'm going to try to hold out til Wednesday then test.

You lot now know things about me that closest friends who've known me my whole life will never get to hear! Amazing thing this internet.

Hey ladies, nice to see some more newbies

I'm just lurking at the mo when I can as I have visitors. Nothing to report really, just waiting for Af to finish so jsing can commence again. Oooh, I did buy a mooncup this month. I am hoping the expense means af will not come next month! It is amazing, but requires a bit of patience to begin with. Used to furkling now, so no bother on that front

Crow Hope you are ok. That doctor needs a good slap. How insensitive!

Hope people on the 2ww are staying sane(ish). I think we are due a bfp or two this month!

Baby2b - a mooncup...I'm intrigued! Aren't they those things you stick up you fanjo to catch AF? Never sounded v pleasant. Once you've given it a try, spill the beans.

Welcome Eskarina. A fellow lurker! Isn't it strange coming out? I wonder how many other secret lurkers there are...come and say hello!

Nervous sounds like you're having a brilliant time. Enjoy. No jealousy here - no! None at all!

takethat - fingers crossed. :)

A quieter day today...after church we went to my brother and sister in law who are lovely. She is expecting their 2nd in Nov and has a big bump! She told me what they're planning on calling her - and I wanted the middle name!

My sister used my first choice name (Sophia) as her DD's middle name. And now my SiL is planning on using my 2nd choice name (Isabella) as middle name. It seems a waste of "my" names, as I don't really want them once they've been taken. Have other people got names planned already, but no baby?

Miffles, yes, it is a little strange coming out into the open.

There are names abounding in my head too. DH and I even have random dinner-time conversations in which one of us suddenly says "Hey what do you think of ...?" Problem is that I'm a teacher and have associations with so many names that finding the right one will be tricky. I haven't got one that I consider "my" name yet though.

We had a busy day. Dashed to the earlier service at our church, not intending to stay for coffee. DH got nabbed by about 100 different people so we had to run back home to get changed then ran back down the hill to catch a train into London. We had lunch in a fab Indian restaurant in Covent Garden then went to the Opera house with MiL.

Gosh - being a teacher would make it really hard to choose a name. I still couldn't do certain names from my school days as the people were smelly or annoying!

Coffee after church - always means you'll stay late! And you can't always fob people off all that easily either! Sounds like you managed to have a good afternoon - what did you see at the Opera?

Found me cervix! Not posterior at all. Furkling will be added to my daily routine, it's quite fascinating really. Eskarina, how many tests do you need love? One will do! Use it tomorrow!

Evening everyone! Have had such a good weekend I'm slightly pleased AF arrived as I would have been too cautious had there been a chance I was pg!

Brassica have you tested again yet?

Crowette that's so bloody insensitive! Don't take it to heart hun, hope you're ok?

Congrats Takethat

I'm rather excited at the prospect of plenty JSing to come!

Hi Viroids!!! Back to CD1 for me!!! So why all the !!!s you ask? Because AF arrived after Cd26, which is the closest to 28 days after coming off the pill (which I've done several times in the last few years). I'm hoping it stays this way, and doesn't get freakishly irregular again. Plus, since I didn't make it to 28 days, AF saved me PIAR money. Also saved me guilt after quite a lot of wine this week (a winemaker friend of ours visited, so I couldn't help it). Also, AF arrived pretty much 14 days after I thought I'd ovulated, so now I have confidence that I might actually know my body a little bit. Shall put this knowledge into good use next cycle and ttc js like a nutter. :)

So much has happened since I've last been on, I'm sorry if I miss you.

Most of all I want to say to Crow that I'm so very sorry that you had to have such a cow unprofessional doctor at a fragile time. I'm glad you have such a lovely DH.

To the lurkers who have appeared, welcome. I agree that any other lurkers out there should show themselves... I'm just looking for more vicarious 2ww, now that I've been rebooted to a 4ww.

As for the name discussion, I middle-named my friend's future (and still unconceived) baby on the weekend, which made me start thinking about names. I love Violet (as in Baudelaire from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events), but I already named my bike Violet. Do you think my own future (and currently unconceived) child will mind?

I'm in lurking mode right now after a tough weekend, but just had to say for names Alba is still on the cards after DS didn't need it and Elspeth since forever.

PS Crow, sorry you've had such a sh!tty time. xx

No congrats in order for me josie as I got a most definite BFN this morning, and my boobs, which were bordering on excruciating on Saturday evening/Sunday morning, have just gone back to normal.

I just hope I get AF on Wednesday, which would mean I definitely ovulated when I think I did, and would mean I had a 35 day cycle instead of the 47 and 51 I had the last two times.

Feel a bit disappointed but I didn't get my hopes up this time - not after the last two hellish cycles, anyway!

PS - we're going for family names, so Edith Ava after DH's grandma (middle name still up for grabs though) and Sidney Clive after my granddad and DH's dad.

Most people pull face when we tell them our ideas. But we like them!

Thanks everyone xx

Unfortunately the insensitivity extends to my GP too :( just got back from seeing him about the weekend's events, and inbetween him calling the EPU to book me in for a scan and telling me that many A&E Drs are new, inexperienced in many matters, so appear to lack any sort of sensitivity, he himself asked me if the 2 children I already have are not enough for me, and shouldn't I just just leave having anymore, taking into account my age (38) and being overweight (I'm a size 16, ok am only 5ft 4, but hardly obese!!!) so now I'm too old and fat to have children and should accept that I've had my lot?!

I'm really fucking angry at him!! I don't know whether to cry, scream, or what!

Welcome back Nervous Happy Shagtastic Holidays to you! We're both on CD23 if that helps. And yes, now would be about the right time for implantation bleeds etc. PMSL @ furklers

I have random names floating through my head Miffles, but I never voice such silliness to DH He would think I was mad. We're currently trying to pick dog names at the moment and can't even agree on that Being a teacher must be annoying when it comes to names. I bet good names are spoiled by grotty children with the same name.

Yeah congratualtions on finding your cervix harder!! Some serious furkling going on over the weekend I guess.

Back to nice regular cycles hopefully now snowpea

crow , and for your treatment at the hands of healthcare "professionals" So sorry for you. Hang in there. Hope DH is looking after you loads.

takethat, buddy, BFN for me too today. Getting pissed off with all of this too I can tell you. No symptoms. Apart from the odd shooting pain last week, boobs have been uneventful. The womby twinges come and go and low-level nausea is probably all in my head. CD 23/11DPO for me. The faint pink line on the wilko's test is still there. (Apparently they are designed like that so that you can keep them ) I wonder if it's the much talked about evap line. But then it's pink not grey? Yesterdays BFN was Tesco. And todays was ClearBlue (not digital).

Got the vet coming out to look at my sheep today. Gotta have a big chat about preg women and sheep because I need to understand what the concerns are. Deep joy.

crow that is just shocking, no wonder you are . I'd be feeling extremely proud of myself for getting out of there without causing actual bodily harm to the tosser professional doctor

News from me is some definite bleeding this morning, which could of course be implantation but could also be a random ERTD arriving 6 days early - almost unheard of for me? So am still confused and hoping it's not ERTD as I still have lots of sunbathing and bikini wearing to do; and frankly didn't pack many lillets .

As to names - nope, but if this IS implantation, then the child that arrives in 9 months may end up with a foreign name - think Brooklyn Beckham . Though perhaps a more subtle version, using an actual name rather than just the place he/she/it was conceived. Cos frankly, who wants to be shouting about that??

thanks Brassica - OH is at work, has no mobile phone so I can't let him know what the GP said - good in one way, he'd probably want to come home, lol, but he's had enough time off recently. I'll tell him after work, when I've calmed down a bit. If he sees me like this, it'll make him really upset and angry, bless him.

I'm going to make myself a cuppa and some toast and take deep breaths, maybe go meditate for a bit

Haha Nelly, I'm waiting for him to call me back with my scan appointment - I'll either be biting my tongue or tell him I didn't appreciate him effectively calling me old and fat! But I think he knew he was digging himself a hole, as he got a bit sheepish at that point and said 'yes, well, we'll discuss all that at another time'

I'm a great one for thinking of stuff to say and do AFTER the event, and sitting there taking the crap during it

i had the name dilemma with my chickens!
I had to make sure that i named them names that weren't on my list! problem is, 2 of thenames are names I really love (Erica and Jessica) and I can't have either oft hem on my list now. :(
The next lot of chickens we're getting are going to be named after virtues. But not Grace because Grace is number 23 on our list. so they've got to be Hope, Patience, Charity, Prudence, Faith, Joy or, etc....
(Joy is my mum and my sister's middle name)

anyway, my big sister came very close to calling her daughter my number 1 middle name, but she went for a diminutive of it.
and my little sister called her number 2 son a diminutive of my number 1 1st name.
not that it matters, because my number 1 boy's name is also the name of a firend's son, so...

oh that's confusing, and very silly considering the odds are against us..... (maybe,you never can tell these days! and we desperately need new choir members - procreation might be the only way we'll get any

Evil, evil tests. I've bought some more of the cheapy wiko's tests - the make I had the faint pink line with on Saturday. BFN.

The pink line must have been because I'd left it in the sun on the windowsill.

Feel stooopid. Particulaly as I did tell DH in the end.

don't worry luvvie they are evil and that's why I resist early poas temptation. You aren't due yet though are you? Wait a little longer...there's still hope!

crow I can't believe your doctor - that's outrageous. I used to be really quiet about stuff like that but now I just lay into them (in a polite way of course) but don't let him/her? get away with it. You could say something like, "I'm hoping for some more constructive, medical advice on how to go about conceiving rather than insensitive comments." Don't let people like that intimidate you - it's their job to help you for god's sake but unfortunately so many of them need reminding of that

Good news for snowpea and htk - how exactly does one 'find' one's cervix??

Well, my pre-seed arrived exactly 10 minutes ago! just in time as the fun begins this week :o I was getting so bored with the whole AF week.
