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.

Actualyy it's not very sore. Landed on my lower back (and got a mud stain on my cream jods ) but luckily had my body protector on so that cushioned me, could have been a lot worse. My shoulders are more sore this morning as she was leaning on me all the way round.

It was a funny old day yesterday as when I got back from my round another girl had been eliminated and was upset, then another girl who has been off since xmas with a really bad back who isn't allowed to lift anything let alone ride, had got on a friends horse, and came off aswell, so they were both crying when i got back and with the shock of it I started crying too so we all sat in the bushes and had a little group hug we must've looked ridiculous!

Josie hugs for the shock and pain. I haven't fallen off in years but still wince at the thought!

Brassica I know it doesn't help but I know how you feel about the helplessness of it all. More annoying that this has happened previously so you would like to think that they would be monitoring you a bit closer. Is the EPU close to you? I was just thinking if you rock up then maybe they would see you? I know they want a referral but I can't see them turning you away? Possibly a bit late for that.

So not looking forward to Wednesday. At risk of sounding like a spoilt brat, if I don't get what I want (some sort of bloody progress with a high % chance of pregnancy!) then I think I may just sit in their office sobbing until they do something. Brassica I am London based so yes, huge choice of clinics but this one is perfect for work(obviously only in location terms!) when you have to have a million and one dildo cams. Plus with my experience at the last one I have no faith in them. We shall see. One more chance. If I do move I want to find a solely private one. These seem to all be Harley St way which is not so convenient for work. Arse biscuits!

Giggling at you and your horsey friends covered in mud having a sob in the bushes Josie!

Brassica Why are medical proffessional types so ruddy useless sometimes? Does you GP not have an open surgery? How annoying. If it weren't for the urgent clinic I'd be waiting a week or two too (which may well be to long).

Am slightly regreting not doing the Dr thing today as I seem to have a huge amount of pant snot today (sorry about TMI) so keep having to run to the loo to check that's all it is that I can feel down there. Of course I do know that excessive PS is an early pg symptom, but it's one I could to without to be quite honest!

Is there no one going 2WW mental or due to test or something? I need distraction.

at Vallinna's arse biscuit.

Also at Valinna's arse biscuit!

NoMore I think half of the field would have been laughing at us too but apparently 5 or 6 people all fell off at the same time so a fair few of us were feeling sorry for ourselves

I am smack bang in middle of 2ww but don't feel anything so not getting excited, sorry to disappoint, I know I'm great at crazy symptom spotting but the novelty wore off after the first 2 cycles Hope your PS is a good sign!

Josie, Nervous and I are 6DPO so there's a little troupe of us now. We can all hug in the MN bushes if we don't get BFPs . Love that image by the way. Sounds like some sort of hippy-ish experiment gone wrong, three ladies crying in a bush!

Arse biscuits is definitely the phrase of the day . Glad you can provide us with choice language despite all the crappy doctors vallinna. Same to you brassica - why oh why didn't I get your post before I bored the tits off my students going on about poetry and criticism, when I should have been talking about zebras being abducted by aliens. To be honest, that would have made more sense than what I said. The first group said 'I understand it much better now' which made me feel good, until I walked all the way from the seminar to the next class, still talking to the students, with my dress pulled up over my arse, and my bum (in tights) hanging out. This may have affected my performance as the second class, no word of a lie, said they thought they understood it when they came in but I had made it seem so much harder . Arse biscuits indeed!

brassica I really hope the bleeding stops - sounds like it is petering out. Bet it's just a random Clomid side effect and I'm sure it'll make no difference. Still so excited for you

Laters ladies, gotta go and make a prat of myself once more before I can go home ...

Ahh TTL That is why my lovely new dress top is firmly over a pair of jeans. My arse would be the first to hang out if I dared to try wearing tights under it (might try it for DH though ).

Poor takethat - arse hanging out is never a good look! Esp in front of uni students.

Sounds like BB and NMCB are holding onto your BFPs...keep those legs closed! Hope you both manage to speak to people soon.

I have my appt tomorrow - apprehensive that it will be rubbish. But must keep positive.

BRB....

Sorry - DH insisted on using the computer. Now that he has left I'm free to catch up at my leisure!

I hope you're ok Josie - make sure you have lots of hot baths to ease the ache in the shoulders.

Vallinna - did you get recommended to this clinic? If you go down the IVF route, you really want to feel confident about your clinic. I've seen things that say you should get clinics success rates and things. Now, if you were to decide to have IVF, would a new clinic need to do all sorts of tests that the others have done, that you'd need to pay for again? Or can you take your notes with you? I know you don't really want to move again, but IVF is another whole ball game, isn't it?

Encouragement please and advice on what will happen tomorrow!! The GP sent off my ultrasound scan (showing PCOS), I had progesterone levels done but it wasn't on CD21, as I never make it that far. The number submitted was zero!!! Also DH SA results (which we haven't seen yet [worried emoticon]. Do you think the consultant will want to do more tests or do you think he'll hand over the drugs?! BB and Vallinna - what happened before you got clomid? Not sure how well I'm going to sleep tonight....have waited since May for this appt!

ooo...and any questions I should ask him or things I must make sure he tells me. Thanks.

Miffles clomid was dished out on the first appointment! I'd already had a day21 test down by my GP and the result was low. It's cheap apparently so they don't have many qualms in handing it over. It's considered the first line of attack for female ttc problems. (Shh, I could always post you my left overs ) I would bet you leave with Clomid and maybe an appointment to check out your tubes via x-ray.

I'm glad you live somewhere with choice vallinna. I know it's a PITA, but to be stuck with a crap service would be worse.

PMSL for takethat trying to make the lesson more exciting for her students!

Lots of folks on the 2ww then. It's going to get really interesting around here soon! Let the madness being!

Yeah miffles. Don't just take the prescription and leave gratefully. Ask how they will monitor you, how they will know it's the right dose, how you can get back in touch, what the time scale is for moving on to a different course of action, what that next course of action is, can ivf be done on NHS,

Brain dump complete

Hey ladies, sorry not been on for a while. Need to read everyones posts and catch up properly...it looks like we have two bfps?!

Have you both managed to see docs yet? Looks like you were having problems brassica

My AF is due according to my normal cycle, but should be coming late...so holding out and not testing.

Sorry I don't have any answers for you Miffles but I'm sure it will be fine. Fingers crossed for you :)

Hope everyone else is good?

Fingers crossed b2b. Problems sorted themselves with the BFP so no need for docs to get fingers out do anything

Thanks Brassica - really helpful. I've just copied down those questions onto my paper! Am actually going to PIAR tomorrow morning....who was it that said they hadn't done it yet and felt left out? That's me too! AF has always come after 2 or 3 weeks so no point. But, despite having NO symptoms and knowing I'm not anyway, thought it'd be worth checking I'm not pg before the appt. Have read a few too many threads of people still bleeding thro the pregnancy every month and not knowing, etc.

Good to see you again b2b. Well done for not testing. I bet you'll crumble and test in 2 days. Any other bets for when b2b will test? Do I hear 3 days?!

I am glad it is looking good for you Brassica. As the thread originator it was def you turn

Hi Viroids. Glad everyone's hanging on in there. I have nothing to say, I'm competely knackered. Am actually getting a bit panicky having looked back over the last couple of months' worth of BBT charts (please don't kick me off) and realised that it's unlikely that I've ovulated last month or this. It's CD16 and no pant snot in sight. I thought I'd had ov pains but it could have been wind

Sorry, That was quite a lot of nothing to say.

Alright nomore, I'll go mental to cheer you up :)

WAAAYYY TMI alert - came home this evening, went to the loo and upon wiping(I warned you, TMI...) noticed what can only be described as a suspended trail of pant snot . Don't look at me like that, you were all warned

Anyway, so let's all guess whether that means a) I'm ovulating twice this month, a week apart b) ERTD is going to arrive on an even SHORTER cycle than last month (on CD19 I think) or c) my body is playing mean tricks just to con me into thinking I'm going to get a BFP.

HA.

So I think I've cracked first on the symptom spotting . I also feel sick, but that's just the weird mix of food I've eaten today :)

(PS - Arse biscuits - very funny :))

Morning viroids, I have been following the thread but not posting as I dont seem to be able to offer any practical advice but I do hold my fingers crossed for our 2 BFP!
I have no idea if I ov'd this month, as I wasn't sure that my coming off the pill bleed was a proper period

But- I have been queezy since saturday, and my nipples are really painful, we did do a cheapie test with a BFN but I think I would only be about a week gone! So I am on the 2ww, guessing i'm due for AF next thursday.
Why cant the test's be for any earlier?!!! I didn't want any wine last night either, my OH felt my head in shock!

I hope you all have a great day, best of luck with doctors and just hanging on in there!

Hi Choco, come on in! Symptoms sounding good!

Would it be breaking the rules if I got one of those fertility monitor thingys for my next cycle? Just to make sure I'm actually oving as I'm not sure anymore, then at least if I find out I'm not I can go to docs, if I am I can stop using it and get JSing

Nervous you made me laugh with your TMI that should be TMI, but isn't to us load of wierdos people

Hope BB & NMCB are good today, hopefully you'll both get some answers from docs today

Thanks Miffles but I haven't had a chance to have a bath yet and the aches are spreading down my back, was rather difficult to get up this morning but I'm trying to move around and keep them supple

TTL it turns out I'm 12DPO and didn't realise! I'm doing very well at ignoring it

josie I think you should def go for the fertility monitor, why not?! I think I would in a couple of months to find out, and put my mind at rest.

Miffles - basically came off pill, had no periods for 4 months, bloods confirmed normal hormones but the couple of dildocams revealed the PCOS. Then told could wait a couple of months or go straight for clomid - which we did. Went private as otherwise would have had to wait longer. If you are on the NHS there is a possibility they will want to do a SA on your DH, HyCoSy on you to check for blocked tubes and infectious diseases tests on you both. A pain in the arse but actually no point in pumping you full of hormones if there is another issue - which is bound not to be the case, just a crappy wait if you do have to have the tests Otherwise, wot brassica said One tip (which she has mentioned) and I can't rave enough about, think really carefully beforehand about what you want from the meeting, write it all down. Think of the possible responses and your answers to these. The amount of times I have come out of appointments upset and confused because I just didn't ask the right questions...!

So annoyed I am waiting til tomorrow as opposed to the appointment I was meant to have at midday today This is what (attempted) babymaking does to you. Makes you irrational at a 26hour delay!

When are you testing josie? Although, well done for ignoring the DPO so far!

Any news miffles?

I rang my consultant after nil response yesterday. Firstly he's on annual leave and secondly he doesn't use e-mail ! His secretary says to call the EPU. I said they only take referrals. She said go see your GP! Fecking great aftercare! Anyway, bleeding has stopped. I think I'm still pg (reading about missed MC is worrying me) and I've got a GP appointment for Monday. Although I'm working from home on Friday and might pull an "emergency appointment" need.

Weclome choco

Is takethat still busy flashing her bum at students?

No such thing as TMI nervous. It won't be long before we're all apologising to each other for not enough I I googled "pant snot twice in a month" but didn't come up with any answers

I wonder if there is a way to give my FF 130 day left subscription to someone?

Back from the Drs after an epic wait. I explained the situation and that I don't want to keep losing babies if it's my body and can be fixed (and that I understand something wrong with the baby is unavoidable). Did a wee on stick test and it was very faint, so she's taken blood to get a proper gague of hormone levels and I'll get another test next week to make sure the levels are rising properly.

She was also a little bit that I didn't get a BFN after losing the last one (which I put down to the crap Dr I saw at the time).

And if I do start to bleed I am to call the surgery straight away. So while there isn't much that can be done now, at least I'm feeling supported and taken seriously. Now I just need to Not lose the little blighter for another week or so!

for the 2WW madness. Loving it.

Well done for getting taken seriously this time nomore I hope you are feeling positive.
