Thread for the fanjo-furkling, red-fecker-hating, ramekin-peeing JSers

[takethatlady]

The (updated) '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). Horse-riding and other dangerous activities are also actively encouraged.

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

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'. Try not to get sucked in by Fertility Friend (at least for a while), but knowing where you are in your cycle and furkling for pant snot is most definitely allowed. If you're a midwife, you can even get other midwives to furkle for you

Keep us up to date with gossip!

Most of these rules are well and truly broken!! But we try to chill - honest

Shout if I've missed anyone.

Hmm who to start with?

You lot must be bad if I'm even contemplating going near a fish! I expect to read lots of drunken/hungover posts this weekend (purely for the entertainment value to me of course).

Arse biscuits...just been told I am on long protocol. Which is obviously fine, I just wish the prospect of short had never been dangled in front of me! Thought I'd be bursting full of ready to pop eggs in a few weeks as opposed to supressing my already so-dormant-they-might-as-well-not-be-there ovaries

Done some obsessive premiliminary maths and if I respond as expected I would be due to do my PG test on Christmas Day . That's one way to polarise emotions over the holiday season.

What's long and what's short protocol, vallinna and how do they decide which you should be on? Christmas Day testing...I do not envy you that.

Long is 2 weeks on down reg drugs and then x many on the stimulating ones. I say x many as they are starting me on a tres low dose as I am at risk of OHSS (the over stimulating thingy). Low dose may do nothing so it's increased gradually.

Short would be straight on to the stims, they had suggest this would be my protocol as 3 weeks on the pill would have supressed my ovaries also.

Oh well nearly moving forward! Stupidly bloated! Forgot the pill did this to me!

Pooy bottoms for that then. I wonder why they think your ovaries aren't suppressed enough...don't they know you haven't ovulated since the 90s!!

I had heard people say that once you start the IVF it all goes quite quickly - maybe that's when they're looking back on it, or compared to the years TTC. How is your new clinic, by the way? How's the service?

I'm seeing the FC again on Monday with results of blood tests (thyroid for me, I think, and hormone ones for DH, as he has crap swimmers). Am praying we'll get the clomid then to give it a shot. We'll be allowed a few cycles of that and hope something happens. Will be grilling him about monitoring! If not, we're being recommended down the IVF or ICSI road....

Grrr for long protocols vallinna.

Turns out I did have a urine infection, which, because the hospital didn't give me antibiotics a week ago, has become a kidney infection too

Got baby-safe antibiotics now, and pleased it explains the back ache, which is in fact kidney ache.

Still smarting over using the word 'ramekin' in the doctor's surgery and thinking I'd seem like a normal person. I blame you lot :)

Having now realised that urine infections can cause all sorts of problems in pregnancy and that if left to develop into kidney problems that's even worse, I am so fucked off with the hospital who diagnosed a urine infection but forgot to do anything about it that I can barely speak.

It's only because I brought it up with the doctor and then pushed for an extra test today that I've been treated at all.

If there are any resulting problems I'm going to go mental at the hospital. What total fuckwits.

Rant over. Sorry ladies :)

FFS takethatlady! That is shocking Utilise the power of pregnancy hormentalness and go nuclear on them make them see the error of their ways.

Although tbf in the early stages of pregnancy I was more weepy and pathetic than ragingly angry...that came at the end

NervousNelly that does sound like a tiring and expensive day. I had a smear this week also, aren't they fab although I did complement the nurse on her technique - 'that was the most comfortable smear I've ever had!'

Enjoy Arcade Fire, I saw them in Barcelona when Funeral came out and they were truly amazing.

crowette what a dilemma (and sorry to hear about your MC). You seem like you are being remarkably level-headed about it all. Hope it resolves itself soon one way or the other :)

Been shopping today for a party dress to wear out tomorrow night, and found a fun structured frock in TK Maxx for only twenty squid DH on his way back from two day meeting thing and is badly stuck in traffic, so it looks like an evening on the sofa in front of The Event for me.

vallinna's ovaries still think Take That are in the charts from the first time around

Pmsl for takethat and her ramekin hunt at the (useless) docs [hgrin]

Thanks ladies. Have calmed down now. At least I caught it when I did. Sure it will be fine. Really need to be calmer about this ttc and preggo lark.

Pmsl at vallinna's tt-lovin ovaries :)

Result on the dress-hope u look as hot as miffles, darkstar!

Oh I do feel sorry for vallina's ovaries as (whispers v quietly) TT were a bit rubbish first time round

TTL I guess a good news/bad news for you. Great that you now know what the back pain is and are being treated, but how awful that it was allowed to get to this stage. Step away from the google though, it'll only wind you up more! Question is though, if the pee recepticle isn't called a ramekin, then what would be the right word? . Jar? Pot? See, ramekin is better cos it has more letters!

Strange night here with no Internet (thank god for 3G), nearly no Sky, and no food. So just had creamed rice for dinner! Would this be considered a bad thing to feed a small child? Hmm maybe need some training before I become a mum!

nervous you can say what you like about TT, but just remember that one of them is going to marry me and is possibly the father of my unborn child

Still have kidney pain despite drinking a bucketload of cranberry juice in the pub last night. Grrrr. Also caved and we told family. My dad said I shouldn't have told him until 12 weeks because it might go wrong again, and then told me he had to go because he was hungover and couldn't really concentrate . My mum totally refused our attempts to be low-key and started planning the nursery, making startled comments about the amount of maternity leave I plan to have ('Oh no, that's soooo short! Can't you take longer? Tut, oh dear'), and ignoring my attempts to say we weren't planning ahead . DH's family were nice because they're normal

DH got massively drunk last night, insisted on acting out the lyrics to every song that came on (including sex lyrics, and including while sharing a dancefloor with my mum and step dad), told me how he would never want a baby with anyone but me and would never have another woman in his life if I died, and then yelled at me all the way home in the car about my driving (I'm too speedy and was deliberately trying to make him throw up, apparently ). He also kept saying 'This is ten years of my life REVERSED. Ha ha ha ha ha (evil chuckle)', by which he meant that it's usually him sober and me drunk

He threw up something proper when we got in and told me he's not going to get up for 48 hours no matter what I say . It's been about 7 hours and there's no sign of movement yet ...

LOLOLOLOL! My ovaries are now upset that they don't ovualte AND that they missed out onTT tour tickets - although they are secretly happ to have avoided the whole Robbie leaving/rejoining trauma Nelly was your mouth out with soap for your comment

Miffles my bottom thanks you for the sympathy but it will share the pain with my stomach The clinic is OK. Not great but I am more prepared for it now...! You get some great people and some annoyingly useless ones so you just have to take the good with the bad!

TTL - [hangry] glad it is sorted but....unbelievable....

Off for the w/e with my Mama now so some girly pampering...bollocks...uber late now {smile]

PS - where's josie? Just lurking?

Back to the pit of gloom for me...

CD14 today. +OPKs on CD 12 and 13 which have now gone -. But no BBT temp rise . So despite JSing like made it look like there is no ovulation for me this month.

Which of course if fecking FC were monitoring me properly they'd know about!!

TTL being that I think my first MC was the result of a(n untreatable) kidney infection I feel your pain. How utterly irresponsible of the hospital to not get you the anitbiotics you needed![hangry] Fingers crossed for a determined sticky bean!

Hugs for Vallinna and Brassica too.

BB - But it's not a firm science...it maybe that you did ov, but the temps didn't pick it up? You did everything you should have. And there's no reason why, when you ov last month, on the same dose you shouldn't this month. I hope you can keep a little bit of hope. Or enjoy your wine and maybe you'll have a surprise in 2 weeks time!!

TTL - grrr at kidney infection! Keep drinking and resting. Really glad you've told your family - their reactions sounded funny! In fact the whole night sounded like a laugh! Well done on trying to make your DH sick - if he was that drunk when you were completely sober, I'd have been tempted to do the same.

Nelly - I'm sure as I kid I had some evenings/meals, like that. It's always so exciting when the normal routine goes out the window! You'd be a cool mum, giving creamed rice for dinner. Oooo...love that stuff! And custard, that's yummy too.

Enjoy your pampering Vallinna.

I'm off to Bluewater (shopping) but waiting for my DH to come home. He insisted we leave early (10am is early for a sat) and I therefore couldn't have my desired 11am lie in. He got up about 830 to deal with a problem in our rental flat. I dually (sp) got up and dressed and ready to go (ok, wouldn't have been ready for 10, but maybe 1020) and still no sign of him! Rang to say will be back at 11! Nevermind, I get to catch up with my viroids, and I will get the psycological upperhand - cos he delayed us not me, after he made the fuss!!

Hopoe everyone else enjoys their weekend and Josie is doing ok.

bb maybe miffles is right, or maybe your temp will rise tomorrow? Don't lose heart yet. Big hugs coming your way.

Thanks miffles. I wasn't trying to make him sick! He seemed to think that corners and roundabouts had been invented purely to induce vomit :)

He's banging about in the kitchen trying to make beans on toast now. I did offer to make it for him but apparently only he can make it the way he likes it. I think he's still drunk.

nmcb don't say that! I've just spent the whole night and morning convincing myself that I've caught it in time, and if I do the antibiotics and drink lots of water it'll all be fine and won't make any difference. I will not be able to take it if it all goes wrong now because of this, especially as I should have just been more assertive at the hospital and pushed them for antibiotics.

TT you'll be fine!!! I didn't know I was pg when I was sick. Also as I had a virus there was no meds I could take, where as you're now doped up to your eyeballs . Besides you're well enough to get out of bed. I spent a week in bed proped up on pillows as that was the only way I felt comfortable.

Don't take any Ibuprofen though, only take paracetamol for the pain.

Wasn't Josie riding horsies all this week?

Bras what the others said. Just because your temp didn't rise, doesn't mean your out of the game yet. Besides as you said you had +OPKs.

propped

TTL pmsl at your night out antics! I'm sure everything will be fine, antibios will be working their magic and lots of water to flush the infection out. Try not to worry you've done everything you can.

BB poor you, just wait and see though as miffles says it may be that the temp didn't move for some reason, its not always accurate indicator.

valinna i'm sure those stuck in the 90's ovaries of yours will kick in with a vengence and make up for lost time. Even if protocol a wee bit longer than you wished for just think it'll get the best out of dem ovaries!!

I have a bitof a dilemma today... i'vce been working a lot and very very long hours so not been out much lately but meeting up with 8 lovely friends for lunch today. Now our usual would be a very long and boozy lunch that merges into evening ... but i'm now CD16 with +OPK at CD13 (no idea if actual ov happened as not charting or being monitored). Soooo as we js'd 3 times over that time i might be in with a chance... so to drink or not to drink?? Help pls!

Hey ladies, just back from hols and wondering what I have missed? Its going to take me an age to catch up on the banter.

I am on CD16 and opk said I ovulated on the CD14. Jsed like a good one while away, so nothing left but the annoying 2ww. Kippers at the ready please.

p.s. I missed you guys

hey everyone,
Bad news here - had a bit of spotting so went to the hospital and was told that my womb is empty. I am really confused seeing as I still had some symptoms but hadn't re-tested since CB told me it was 2-3 weeks...The Dr actually told me I'd tested too early ( even though I tested 3 times over a period of 2 weeks and only after my period was due??!!). So, The spotting is actually my period on time, strangely. I don't even know if it's a chemical pregnancy because I've not had a 'late' period - my last period was on the 15th of sept and apart form a bit of light spotting on one day, nothing else, which is strange because I've never had irregular periods. And then there's the small detail of the positive tests of course. The only positive thing is, seeing as there's nothing there, i haven't had an official miscarriage - there wasn't anything in there to come out, so at least I've been spared that. The second doc I saw said that it probably failed early on and got re-absorbed but the hormones are just taking their time to go down.
Ironically, I had booked all my scans and tests yesterday so now I have to cancel them all again next week :(
I've had a bit of a cry and now just feel the need to get on with it all.
Will be back later to catch up with your news. X
