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

Doing a Kitten! Love it! Welcome cremegg you've joined at an exciting time!

vallina you have been on the receiving end of some truly shocking customer service. If it wasn't all so personal and private, it'd be on watchdog. But I guess that is your point about vulnerable women. And you're PAYING for it. It Sucks Angry. I agree with takethat on how strong you are; and the party we'll throw you!

miffles no hangover, wow! Wanna swap livers? I was a bit vague about my tests, the 10 number referred to the level it detects, but it doesn't indicate no of days before you are due, just says "ultra early".

Takethat thank god I don't have to shove it up my arse. Yuck yuckity yuck.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 09/10/2010 13:56

Ohh, Brassica How did your DH react to his dinner 'side dish'? Grin

NervousNelly · 09/10/2010 14:01

nomore cross posted. I am highly amused, and indeed heartened, by the fact ghat the stealth sex did the job Grin.

Oh and TT, I think miffles has to compete with you for funniest post, as the story about you ripping your tights off and tripping over them on the stairs, in a seductive manner [wink ] was pretty fucking hilarious!!!

Truffkin · 09/10/2010 14:36

Wow Viroids, what a lot can happen in 24 hours!

Huge congrats to Brassica and NoMore I'm really, really excited for you. Will join in with the others in crossing everything for you guys for the next few weeks until things are more settled. How did your DH's react to the good news?

Vallinna so sorry things are rubbish for you at the moment. Poor service always gets my back up but when it's for something so emotional it's even more inexcusable. I've got as much chocolate and alcohol as you can manage here for cheering you up!

Welcome Eggy and let's hope you've brought good luck with these BFPs. Miffles drunken posting was amusing and I'm impressed you escaped without a hangover today. Finally, LOLing at 'doing a kitten' !

BrassicaBabe · 09/10/2010 15:06

Crap vallinna So sorry hun. You've had a bad run with these bloody clinics. Well done for giving them a good talking too. You were bang on with whaty you said. Let's hope it hits hope. Hugs to your DH too.

We're not too down on "doing a kitten" Grin (love that creme) for other lurkers out there. But we've been having a tough few weeks on our lovely JSing thread.

Miffles can you send your questionaire to vallinna she's got a few words she'd like to us....

Yeah for 2WW takethat!!

Thanks for the advice harder I think us viroids have been quite good not to bombard you with questions as you are in "insider" GrinWink I'm going to call doc on Monday. I'm 4 weeks past ov. But docs count that as 6 weeks pg Hmm You'd think they would teach them to count during all of those years at uni!! Grin

DH is quite smiley nomore. He seemed to grow 6 inches in height. But we're still trying to be calm. What has your DH got to say about you upduffness?

OP posts:
NoMoreChocBiscuits · 09/10/2010 16:13

No surprises for him (such modesty!), but very cautious. He want's me down at the drs first thing on Monday.

Miffles · 09/10/2010 18:50

Laughing at NMCB's DH super sperm!! Glad you and BB are hanging around for a bit longer. I can only imagine that the next couple of weeks will be quite tense for you both. We're here for you as much as we can be. Rave and rant as much as you need to. And good idea to both visit the docs on Monday.

Lunch with grandparents and family ok. Always a bit odd, but survived. Very glad to get back home again to my house with a lit fire. Settling down for some proper telly watching tonight.

Have Josie and baby2b been around? Can't look back or I'll lose this post, but don't remember hearing much from them recently. Hope all our viroids are ok...

cremegg · 10/10/2010 10:54

aww thanks for the warm welcome ladies :o
I live in Adelaide, good vineyards ;)
hope you all had good sat nights and not too many hangovers?! Good luck for tomorro Nomore.
I was v rock and roll last night and stayed in and watched Michael MacIntrye's road show (from 2009?!- tho pmsl)
Currently avoiding doing work that I should be doing, it's back to school here tomorrow, boo!
I cracked today and bought cheapy pg tests for nxt week... hubby checked price and was reasonably happy with $8 for 3..! (4 quid so prob crap) Trying to be casual and ignore the box tho... think I will go distract myself further with mint choc bar callin me from kitchen.

vallinnapod · 10/10/2010 12:36

cremegg no insensitivity at all! That is the bestestest thing about this thread. We have ups, downs, insantities but we are all in the same boat and 'get it' about not giving a damn while completely giving a damn Grin welcome to the madhouse!!

My lovely viriods thank you for all your support. This is a great place to come, let it all out and not be judged, just kind, kind words which mean a lot.

Brassica we hear all about your DH's super sperm but your fabulous eggs (really tried to find an 'e' word but was at a loss!) have been 50% of the equation every month! You don't have any going spare do you Wink

I am off to eat my way through a hangover xxxx

Eskarina · 10/10/2010 13:30

aww Vallinna hope the hangover wears off soon. Is there no-one at these clincs you can shout at to get something done? Or yet another one you can try? It seems shocking that they can get away with treating you like this.

Hi cremegg and welcome. I bought a set of cheapie tests from ebay last week. I too am pretending to be all cool and calm, and insisting that it's a sensible thing to have around, and not desparately waiting until I can justify peeing on one Grin

lol at all these DHs and their perception of their super sperm. My DH glared at my midriff yesterday after JS and demanded to know if I could feel them in there, and whether they were doing anything! Well, no dear, I can't, and even if I could, that bit is my ribcage, the uterus is somewhat lower. I think I need to give him a biology lesson!

NervousNelly · 10/10/2010 19:14

Helllloooooooo?

HarderToKidnap · 10/10/2010 20:10

Well I was getting quietly excited as AF hasn't arrived and she was due today (and I should have started a bit of spotting on Friday). Just having a discussion with DH about testing tomorrow morning, went to loo and there she was. Just a faint brown discharge but I know she's coming.

However, it does mean I an drink myself silly on my Egypt holiday! And when I get back I AM going to start exercising and eating a little better (and drinking a little less!). I am getting fat.

milanomum · 10/10/2010 20:42

Hello lovely ones! I'm back and our two super-shaggers nomore and brassica have re-enthused me! I've had a bit of spotting so def almost CD1 for me so BRING IT ON!

Vallinna so sorry you've had such shit treatment and have been suffering as a result. It's not on - it's not as if anyone TTCing isn't already going through enough stress and worry without adding all that crap!

Hi Cremegg Don't you dare go and get pregnant straight away... although you sound lovely, so maybe we'll forgive you Wink

HTK Looks like we'll be going through the 2ww together this month. Can we have a symptom competition? Can we?! I was just thinking about how fat I'm getting too - I porked out a bit over the summer and of course I thought " but there's no point in losing it, I'll be pregnant soon" Hmm but if this goes on for another 6 months I'll be massive, so I have to stop. sigh. I have no willpower.

nomore and brassica hope things are going ok with you two - hope the docs do their job tomorrow nomore and bb you should get yourself down there too for an early scan to put your mind at ease.

Eskarina · 10/10/2010 20:49

Just checking in to wish everyone a fun fun fun week ahead and especially NMCB and Brassica in getting down to GP tomorrow. Our surgery is quite good, but I know that even just getting and appointment at some is a nightmare. Fingers crossed for you both.

JosieSmith1 · 10/10/2010 21:59

Welcome Cremegg [waves]

Aw Miffles how nice of you to miss me Smile Been a busy weekend but I'm still here, LOLing at your drunken posting Grin Still no pg signs, and that coming from crazy symptom spotter extrodinaire me Grin

Valinna hope you're feeling better

Tentative congrats to Brassica and NoMore [fingers crossed]

Sorry about BFN Harder but hurray to holibob drinking Grin

Not much to report here except took horsey out to comp today and ended up falling off near the end of a bad round but got back on and after mising out the next few big jumps finished the course and we both made it home in one piece so that's the main thing. Made me have second thoughts about riding while pg though Hmm

No signs though so a bit Biscuit here but getting used to it so not massively disappointed jut wait until ERTD arrives!

Miffles · 11/10/2010 08:21

Morning all - a quickie to wish Brassica and NMCB good luck at the docs. Will be thinking of you.

Gotta get to work, so will catch up tonight.

:)

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 11/10/2010 09:44

Thanks Miffles. Haven't actually made it to the Drs today. I'm not sleeping well at the moment and just felt to tired and sick to get to the Drs at 8am (with DS in tow), so will go to tomorrows open surgery, which starts an hour later and I'll have time to wait.

The fact that I feel so sick is a good thing though! I just need to hide it when I take DS to his activites in a little while.

takethatlady · 11/10/2010 09:51

Oh josie hope you're not too sore today after your fall. Don't get too resigned to BFN this month - you never know!

NMCB I'm glad you're feeling sick :) When you puke I'll be even happier Grin

Just a quick one this (CD6 here so, like nervous, nothing much to report). Gotta run to teach something I know feck all about in ten minutes. Just forgot to say to brassica that the bleeding isn't necessarily a bad sign - in fact, the very fact that the bleeding was a couple of weeks ago and you're still getting BFPs probably means you're fine. When I miscarried at similar early stage I got a BFN before the bleeding started (well, same day, but about 3-4 hours before). And those digital tests are accurate enough for 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant', but wild on the '1-2 weeks' or '3-4 weeks' malarkey.

Hope that makes sense. Anyone know anything about Pope? Pope, mind, not the Pope ... I am totally screwed!

JosieSmith1 · 11/10/2010 10:31

Thanks TTL, a bit sore but ok. Not holding out much hope for a BFP this month but as you say, you never know until it's over. Sorry I know absolutely nothing about pope

Hope docs goes ok for Brassica today, try not to worry

Hope docs goes ok tomorrow NoMore

xx

BrassicaBabe · 11/10/2010 10:55

Morning viroids! Boss is out of the office for most of this week so should manage to post regularly work hard Grin

Thanks vallinna my eggs are def "powered by drugs" though. How are you today? Do you have any plans for whiping the clinic into shape? Have you got a choice of many in your area? You don't expect this kind of shit if you are paying for it!

Sorry red fecker seems to be on the way harder

Yep, I def think we could forgive creme for a swift BFP now that she's bought "doing a kitten" to the thread Grin

Has the tooth finished pissing you off josie?

Nice symptoms nomore. I second takethat, here's to full on puking for you! Grin

takethat a quick wikipeadia and you can lecture from that surely WinkGrin

Still bleeding. But now it's all really "old" looking. I'm waiting for a call back from the consultant. Hmm

I agree those digital tests are the work of the devil! On Friday evening when I first tested I had 2-3 weeks. On the two Hmm since then it's only been 1-2. Well by my count I'm 4 weeks (and 6 weeks in I Can't Count Doctor speak) I've got one more hanging around (@ £7.50 a go!!) which I will save for a few days.

Have a good day folks. Fingers crossed for the 2WW bunch and lending the thread kipper to vallinna to smack the first health care worker she comes across...

BrassicaBabe · 11/10/2010 10:59

Googled Pope for you takethat. Was going to write some lecture notes for you Grin

Is it the Nick Pope who wants to talk about UFOs and alien abductions?! Hmm Or Robin Pope? The chap who organises safaris?! Just let me know, I'll pull something together...! Grin

If it's the Alexander chap, is his satire a patch on Mock the Week?! Grin

JosieSmith1 · 11/10/2010 11:53

Hope you get some answers soon Brassica. Tooth has been fine for a while now thanks but was off work sick on thu and fri last week with a bad cold, then fell off horsey yesterday! Was a hell of a week last week! And I'm annoyed that still got no pg symptoms Angry so probs no BFP for me this cycle either. Now that you mention 'I can't count Dr speak', I have been wondering about that, because if they work it out from the day of your last period the timing will be all off as obviously you don't ov at that time so can't have got pg then?! It's very Confused to me!

BrassicaBabe · 11/10/2010 14:00

Bloody hell! What a waste of time! I e-mailed (Hmm clearly a mistake!) my consultant over the weekend. We?d spoken the last week so he new about the bleeding and stuff. I explained I had now tested positive but that I was worried about the on-going bleeding and the fact that I had taken 4x100mg (I work in IT, I?m always typing mb for megabytes Grin instead of mg. Not the same thing at all!) of Clomid whilst pregnant. I left my mobile number and asked that he call me. I waited until lunch time when he has returned my calls (between patients) before. Nothing. I called his secretary. No fecking answer. So I took harder?s advice and called the EPU. They only take referrals from the GP. There are no appointments at the GP! Dear God!

Where is everyone today?! I get a day to skiv post and everyone heads for the hills Grin

OP posts:
JosieSmith1 · 11/10/2010 14:20

I'm here Brassica and I think that's ridiculous! You can never get hold of them when you really need some answers!

Hope he/she gets back in touch soon!

BrassicaBabe · 11/10/2010 14:27

It's not likely to be before tomorrow now. Hmm

Hope the bum isn't too sore from the horse fall Grin
