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.

Sorry to hear you are having to make such a tough choice Vallinna although your well-explained logic appears entirely sound Although I won't lie to you, the ovary laser thing made me feel a little nauseous. Good luck for your death by running marathon

Nervous loving the list and don't forget that a shorter cycle means the 2WW isn't really 2W so another plus for you (although I think the drunkeness trumps this really)

Welcome CoCoPopsMonkey and hope you're not here long (in the nicest possible way ) Make sure you are back on a more upbeat day when things are not as bleak.

That's crappy news vallinna. Althought I reckon IVF would involve less appointments and dildocams than you've recently endured The Austin Powers laser doesn't sound like much fun. So glad DH isn't a 100 year old obses chain smoker Much hugs to do.

What a good list nervous. If it helps it'll be CD1 for me tomorrow. So we get to drive everyone nuts be cycle buddies next month too! I seem to be on a 26 day cycle and I think you are catching up.

My positive list:

1. I get to drink for at least another fortnight without guilt
2. I've got another month to lose a few pounds so that my post-pregancy weight will be one I want to aim for (I've been telling myself this every month)
3. I can stop peeing on every inanimate object in sight sticks now [relieved emoticon]
4. Knowing I'm not pg this month is much saner than the 2WW
5. DH JIAR test would have been for no reason if I'd got knocked up this month.

Sex-ed should go...So you can get pg the first time you have next. But the next 100 times might be a pisser!

So it's been a pretty shitting few weeks days. I promise now to cheer the fuck up and try to make you lot smile.

Hurrah for cycle-buddies brassica. You've reminded me of another plus, which is it gives me another month of folic-acid taking, which I really only started about 6 weeks ago (I believe you're supposed to take it for 3 months before conception? I presume it needs to "load up" in your system ).

truffkin I think everything is trumped by drunken-ness

vallinna I really hope you get on the IVF option - I know a girl who was on clomid for a while and then went pretty much straight to IVF and she is due in november! On the positive side, it means no more time-wasting so that can only be a good thing. (((wine hugs)))

nervous boo hiss to AF! go and get horrendously drunk with brassica.

I love the list, It should be sung to the tune of "Always look on the bright side of life". There's definitely an air of Monty Python on this thread :o

I'm in full shag fest this week and hoping my pre-seed will do its magic (resists writing something about 'wands').
I succumbed to Google and bought bee pollen a few days ago which i have been gagging munching on since.

haha milano I just read another thread about bee pollen! I'm now wondering why just honey doesn't do it though (I'm not obsessed with honey normally, it's just that the stuff here is all lavendar honey and gorgeous :) )

Ladies, once again your support is fanbloodytastic!

I too resort to bucking my ideas and spirits up and LOVE the positives lists so:

1. I will hit the wine, guilt free, tomorrow EVEN though I am running on Sunday!
2. DH will be treated as a human rather than a sperm donor, and genuinely believe it (as opposed to him believing I am only after him for his boys!)
3. At least 2 weeks without a camara shoved up my chuff (although may have to have a blood test for infectious diseases, nice! But DH has to suffer that too!)
4. I will stop obsessing....well...aim to

It's too late, after catching up with the dramas of the day, to write anything individually.

But we will get there, viroids. We will. By hook or by crook! Forget this month. Get shagging. Keep enjoying your DH and the things you have now. Try not to worry - it only causes harm.

And sing the "Always look on th bright side of AF" song at the top of your voice!!

I feel like I'm actually more advanced then many of you - as have been TTC for 10 months. And have never had a regular cycle in that time! . But it has taught me to let go of the obsessiveness a bit. Whether I'll still be telling you all to be positive, or asking for the thread kipper, once I've seen the consultant, we will see.

I love the song!
It's too early in the morning to have a list of positives (am really really not a morning person) Plus my nursery nurse has just called in sick (she's amazing and it's the first time she's been ill in the 2 years I've worked there) so the first thing I'll have to do this morning is sort out someone to cover her.

Actually, there's a positive. I'm crap at mornings. Babies like mornings. No baby yet means undisturbed mornings (and nights!)

My positive:

Can do anything I want with horsey without worrying about causing damage to non existant unborn baby

So sorry to hear your news Vallinna, hope you get your head around it soon.

Sorry to hear that everyone seems to be having a s**t time at the moment

I have a dentist appt on monday but because I haven't been for over a year it's a check up, then I can make an appt to have my sore tooth seen to! I'm going to demand something is done about it while I'm there. Even if they say it's normal and to jst cope with it at least it's been looked at.

I hope your appointment goes well this morning takethat. Stage a sit-in until you get a decent answer!

No period yet. The last 2 cycles it's been here on waking. "Yells "Come on!!!!!!!!!" in a scarey American Marine kinda way!" Stop fecking around now. If this is going to be CD1 then make it CD1 and get on with it!!!

Hi guys. Sending more hugs to everyone having a crappy time and loving miffles's positive vibes :)

Went to the doctor this morning. He said it may just be that I have long cycles and that this is not necessarily a problem, as long as I'm ovulating. But just in case I'm not ovulating normally he's giving me all the tests. So once I get my period I have to have a blood test during days 3-5 for LH and FSH (hormones) and then a blood test on day 21 for progesterone. If that comes back above 25 I've ovulated. If not I have to come back every 7 days until either the progesterone shoots up or I get my period, and then come in an discuss all the results.

It sounded like he might be able to prescribe me Clomid if I need it without me having to go to a gynaecologist. He didn't say so but it seemed very much as if it would all be dealt with at the doctor's surgery.

So here is my list of positives (loving these by the way):

1. I haven't properly celebrated finishing my book and today I can for a boozy lunch with friends before going for boozy dinner with DH and then downing the bottle of champagne that's in the fridge (am skiving off work )

1. Did I mention I can drink guilt free? Counts as a double bonus I reckon.

1. I only properly started my new job three weeks ago and I do not have to lie my head off pretending I'm not pregnant when I am. I can also use alcohol to get to know new colleagues, rather than being the boring sober one in the corner

1. I have a commute of over an hour to work, and DH goes half an hour in the other direction. We can't sell our house but the longer I'm not pregnant the more chance we have of moving before I have to go back to work.

1. I have bought my mum a champagne spa day for her 50th in December. If I was pregnant I couldn't have the champagne or the 60-minute massage - I'd be stuck with a boring old sober pedicure.

1. I will not be spending my first term in my new job throwing up on my students, or throwing up in the car on the way to work.

1. I have more months where my body will not be being wrecked by pregnancy (no offence to all those who've had babies - I'm sure your bodies are beautiful. Mine is going to get wrecked, I bet!)

1. My boobs are not sore and can therefore be manhandled willy-nilly by DH.

Hope you're feeling okay vallinna - it's a big step but such a proactive one and it's going to give you a better chance each cycle of conceiving than most of us have naturally, so if that's the road you go down I just want to wish you the best of luck. You're an icon of JSing!

Oh I'm glad the positives list has cheered you all up so much!

Just about to check out of hotel, one more night somewhere (don't know where yet!) so might not be back on internet till Im hom on Sunday. brassica the bloody best of luck for the MIA period :)

Keep singing girls, see you on the other side (of the channel that is ). Enjoy the weekend JS

Still haven't caught up with everyone properly, will do soon I promise

Have appt at dentist on Monday but have discovered that it's definitely infected so am swilling salt water willy nilly as definitely don't want it out! It explains the pain though, but now I know it's infected I'm very squeamish about it! It bled a bit but is ok now.

Hope everyone is doing ok, will probs catch up tonight as work is busy but DH is working late so plentying MNing time for me tonight

P.S. more JSing this morning! There's something in the water in my house at the minute!

Maybe a course of antibiotics will knock the infection on the head josie...

Hopefully Brassica [fingers crossed emoticon] that's my squeamish face!

Now that I know it's infected I will of course be milking it for all it's worth but DH has man flu so I'll be lucky if he'll look after me! Got a riding lesson in the morning so I better pull myself together! Yesterday I finished work early, dragged myself for a ride (got soaked in the process) then dozed on the settee until DH came in at 9.30pm.

Think I will be doing the same tonight!

P.S. more JSing going on this morning, think there's something in the water at my place!

Takethat - it really sounds like your doc is on the ball...are you sure it wasn't ATM in disguise?! That is the best response you could have hoped for, I think. The tests will show what's going on and then with the doc you can work out what you need to do. Make sure you remember this ones name, so you can ask for him again!

Have discovered how to override the internet block at work, so can now post during the day. Yay to skivving on a Friday!

My positives:

1. Having been working on my MSc for last 4 years, and finished in July, I can now have dirty weekends away with DH without worrying about studying or baby or feeling sick or not drinking

2. Can keep saving money for when I'm not earning (I earn more than DH, so we will miss my income a lot!)

3. Can keep getting the house re-decorated without thinking I really ought to do a nursery. Our room is next on the list, since I'm not pg, so can be selfish and get that done first

4)My sister, sister-in-law, best friend and close neighbour are all due in Nov-early Feb. They can all give birth and then I will follow, gracefully, about 6-9 months later and have all the attention to myself. No need to share the limelight.

5. The above mentioned friends/family will have passed through the first stages of super-tiredness and will be able to help me out when I need help

6. That little bit longer to lose that extra little bit of weight

*Brassica - any sign of AF yet? Although it wouldn't be surprising if your cycle changed lenghts with the clomid

Josie - really hopes it goes ok at the dentist and they sort you out. Might give you some antibiotics rather than nasty extraction.

(Sorry post took ages to write as people keep wondering why I'm typing, when I normally just click. lots of x-posts there)

My positives:

1. Going for a major cocktail session with the girls tonight....guilt free!
2. Starting to look a bit trimmer from healthy eating and going to the gym
3. Enjoying jsing...including being woken at 4am this morning
4. Did I mention the cocktails?!

NNeed to think of some more...have a lovely weekend everyone!

Hello All,

Ive been in and out of the thread as Im trying my best not to get obsessed about this, although I think about it roughly every 3 minutes, and go to the loo to check if AF has arrived yet ...... Im exactly one week overdue my period tomorrow, and AF shows no signs of arriving...ttc DC2, and reeeallly holding out for it this month!!

Im loving everyones positives list! Great idea..

My positives list:

1. Finally, the house has been evaluated and is nearly on the market, so we might have a lovely new house to look forward to soon!

2. DD's (18 months) sleep routine has been perfected; she now sleeps peacefully through the night and has a good nap during the day. She is also a joy to be around, so chatty and lovely and adorable - so note to self, be grateful for the one I have already and spend as much quality time with her as possible.

3. I no longer sleep or need to sleep in the spare room ;-)

Welcome SpareRoomSleeper - it sounds like it could really be your month! How come you haven't tested yet???!!! Surely you have seen the crazy PIAR (or on any other object, suitable or otherwise) that goes on on this thread

where is everyone today? I finally get on the internet in the day and you all bugger off?!

LOL miffles...maybe everyones off peeing on sticks or whatever .....
Ive not tested yet as Im trying my best to be cool about it..a couple of months ago, my period was late, and I went abit crazy testing..only to find AF had arrived by the weekend .....And anyway, my test showed up negative when I was preggers with DD, and it was a first response ...it showed up positive after a couple weeks of my period being overdue -so im going to try and not test till at least mid week next week!...How are things going with you this month??

GP won't deal with dental so no antibiotics there, dentist shuts at 1pm on a friday and only sees private patients on saturdays, so have phoned NHS direct who were the only helpful ones of the lot and have given me a number for out of hours dental service and told me to get some more powerful painkillers and corsodyl mouthwash, but I have to try and brush it gonna be so painful!

At least I feel like something might get sorted before Monday

Josie - you poor thing! That is horrible. I hope you manage to brush it and do the mouthwash if that is meant to help. Glad you got some JSing during the week!

SRS - that is serious self-restraint going on there! My months don't really exist - have PCOS and periods come as and when they like! Currently I seem to start spotting for a week, then AF show up proper for a week, then I have a week off and then it starts again with the spotting! So maybe a 3 week cycle, but not really sure! Seeing a consultant for the first time next month, so hoping he'll sort me out

Everyone has left my office too - not peeing on sticks, though, since most of them are grandmas!! Am all on my lonesome and wondering if it would get back to the boss if I actually just went home. Have never done that before, but it seems v tempting!

Josie - I feel for you, dental pain must be one of the most painful of all pains, (excluding labour pains of course )...Hope you feel better fast.

Miffles - My periods were messed up until very recently too. I would be on my period for as long as six weeks. Very frsutrating. Hope the consultant guy is good. And Just Go home! Who's gonna tell him? I won't, thats for sure

Welcome SpareRoomSleeper, sorry I didn't say a proper hello earlier, been a bit manic at work today to start with never mind trying to get a dentist appt! Well done for not testing yet! I go a bit mad when it's near my turn! .

I think I'd prefer labour pain actually, not that I know what it actually feels like that is! But at least then you're achieving something and you know it's gonna stop. DH is working till late so I won't be looked after until then as well, and I have to go pick up horsey feed, then feed the horsey, and then go to dentist, I so wish I could just cabbage on settee when I get in
