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 Grin

Keep us up to date with gossip!

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

And milano - posted on the other thread, but glad to hear you're feeling a little more positive about things, thinking of you, and know it'll work out for you soon.xx

321sanitygone · 02/11/2010 16:56

I'm moody as hell so getting very drunk sounds good to me...now who had those apple shots?????

takethatlady · 02/11/2010 18:36

gormers do hang around. Nowhere else is as good as here :)

I had a period-style cramp in my lower back so bad in my seminar that I was trying to talk to them about a stupid poem and nearly crying as I did it. They just stared at me ...

Obviously have now googled this but it was actually a google that set my mind at rest, for once. Lack of ms though, so still denying that I don't really belong on this thread.

I do occasionally retch, about an hour after eating, and especially if I think of creamy stuff or milk. But I think this may just be the memory of the McDonald's milkshakes, raked up from the depths of my memory ...

miffles woohoo! Does this mean you can start the Clomid in a few days' time?

OP posts:
takethatlady · 02/11/2010 18:37

PS, 321, here's your shot ... down it, down it, down it!

OP posts:
takethatlady · 02/11/2010 18:37

PPS (sorry). WHERE is josie? Hope she's okay ...

OP posts:
Miffles · 02/11/2010 18:47

Welcome back gormers! And yes, in time for our party. Glad you brought champagne cocktails - bit more classy than TTL's apple vodka shots. Wink

The other BFPs seem to be staying with us too..and why not? I hear they don't chat quite as much as us on the other side. Smile

why so gloomy 321? Hugs your way. Gormers - you'll see we've utterly flaunted the normal MN no hugging thing. We're free and easy with the PDA now!!

Clomid is sitting by my bed - waiting waiting waiting for the smearing to become spotting to become slightly heavier until I think it might actually count as AF and day 1. Bit worried I won't know when it really counts. Does it really matter, do you think? May google it....

Oh - viroids - please don't let me do this again. I think we need a new thread kipper for this misdemeanor....
I posted on "am I being unreasonable?" about something completely un-conception related. They were HORRIBLE!!! Totally vile! I was in tears - they were calling me a bitch Shock. Only read half of the messages and got so upset I shut it down. Don't know what overtook me to do post there - but I do not recommend it!! Wolves! Come over in a cold sweat just thinking about the experience Sad

You lot are way nicer than that Smile

Miffles · 02/11/2010 18:47

(I've been wondering about Josie too - and Eskarina)

321sanitygone · 02/11/2010 19:27

Yum i don't care if the apple shot isn't classy its lovely and hits the spot thanks for the shot TTL
Miffles my eldest son is away with his dad til friday been gone for a week and a half now. Im always a moody mare when one of the kids aren't home! Please excuse my ignorance but what on earth is clomid?

takethatlady · 02/11/2010 19:29

miffles my first ever post on MN was on that thread. I was pissed off with DH about saying he might not be able to come to a ttc doc's appointment because he might have a parents' evening (even though he knew he probably didn't have a parents' evening). He loves the old parents' evening excuse, and I stupidly thought (having read the MN conception pages) that we were both meant to go and have some sort of full medical before ttc Grin

Obviously I was wrong, but people went crazy, like I was planning on murdering him in his sleep or something.

That thread is bonkers. Ignore them!

OP posts:
Miffles · 02/11/2010 20:04

Thanks TTL - does make me feel better hearing you say that. I was surprised how they attacked me!

321 - clomid is a drug given to people to cause ovulation. I have polycystic ovary syndrome and don't ovulate. So no chance of actually getting pg! Went to the doc in May about it and finally got the drug I need from the fertility consultant yesterday. So now the fun can begin! BrassicaBabe is taking it too, and you'll see there is a whole clomid thread as well.

SingingMog · 02/11/2010 20:07

Obviously I did well by posting on this one first then, don't like the sound of those strict/nasty type of threads...

I'm joining the party cos AF has come to see me too! Yay! First proper post-pill AF. Is it possible to get in sync over the internet? Wink Next thing I need to pant-watch for is pant snot! Suppose I should start making a record of when these things happen Confused for when we officially get serious about ttc (which is supposed to be February but we are being relaxed till then).

I was wondering about Josie and Eskarina too, and welcome to 123.

My DH suggested McDs for tea tonight. He is classy Grin I said no though, he even tried to have one when we were on holiday but ended up just having a large drink!!

Now where's that imaginary pink wine.....

321sanitygone · 02/11/2010 20:28

Ah i see Miffles well i think i will have to have a celebatory glass of wine to properly toast your good news

crowette · 02/11/2010 22:36

NMCB I lived in Renfrewshire Blush I actually loved it there! The only reason I left was because I lived in a grotty flat that had extreme damp that the landlord was not getting sorted and I hated the thought of another winter in there. Was on my own, low wage and couldn't afford to put the electric convector heaters on Sad

TTL I also worked in Dreamland Grin albeit when I was still at school - as a weekend job. Was in the cafe under the Scenic Railway.

NervousNelly · 02/11/2010 22:48

Evening all - I think I'm too late to the party and you've probably gone to bed. Anyway, I'm just going to wander around the abandonded leftovers, downing the dregs in all the cocktail glasses. Classy me Grin.

Hope you are all well. If a little (virtually) drunk. Great news that we have so many wanted AFs. Now we're probably getting to the 2WW where the rest of us don't want to see the red fecker thanks very much!

Miffles you've made me want to go and find the thread and see just how nasty it is. Honestly, where do some people get off? I hate the way people hide behind anonymous internet personas and turn into big bullies Angry. Talk about Judgey Pants Hmm

Anyway way too much to catch up on - been really busy at work the last couple of days. Think I either OV'd today or yesterday but just managed the one shag this time as OH was away. So I think chances are thin, but I'll no doubt go steadily crazy over the next couple of weeks. In good company though!

Eskarina · 02/11/2010 23:14

Hiya, I am here but lurking a little as there is absolutely NOTHING going on. CD 39 today and I've felt like AF is about to arrive for days now, but no sign of the fecker. Really really fed up. Boobs no longer sore, and as I seem to have ovulated late then I doubt we got the JS window anyway. Seriously fecked off with the whole thing and my uterus in particular.

Sorry, that was a self-centred rant, hence why I've been lurking rather than posting.

Love the idea of a party though. Will put bunting up when my ERTD finally arrives (prob tomorrow morning right in the middle of a really boring course I'm going on)

SingingMog · 02/11/2010 23:20

Grrrr to the late ERTD Eskarina. People usually say no news is good news, but on here we seem to prefer the opposite!!

I am also curious about the scary thread Nervous! Might have a snoop on there and see what is going on. Should go to bed really though...

cremegg · 03/11/2010 06:56

i think i missed the party lol!
CD20 here... gonna hav to hide the pack of tests i have next week, i have no patience!
DH actually said this week 'i think ive made you pg as i felt sick this morning, maybe its sympathy symptoms' ha! lol! guess he's feeling left out already!

had better sex ed lesson with horrible yr 10s today, got them to watch 4d scans on youtube to see foetal development ;)
TTL must be crappy have to carry on lecture with pain and symptoms.... i struggle to teach with a cold!
i worked at maccyds for

vallinnapod · 03/11/2010 10:49

Morning!!

So, scan this morning and another change in opinion, although confirmed by the consultant this time, to long protocol. Soooo, 2 weeks sniffing then another scan on 16th Nov.

takethatlady · 03/11/2010 10:54

Oh eskarina how annoying. Yay for long protocol vallinna, sounds like your body is finally getting there Smile

cremegg you are a better woman than me. 2 years at McD's? Loving that we've all moved on from fast food and funfairs since the 90s Grin

I've got a cold and no morning sickness but still sore-ish boobs. Just booked my dating scan. Have tried the midwife twice a day since last Thursday but she never turns her phone on and tells you not to leave a message. So I booked my scan without her Grin 19th November @ 8.15am. We're seeing good friends on the 20th so if, fingers fingers fingers crossed, there's a heartbeat, we'll probably tell them then.

Right, back to the sneezing, which I am slowly convincing myself is 'pregnancy rhinitis' and not a cold.

Dynababy · 03/11/2010 17:45

evening all, walked right into the party yeah!!!

Loving the new slightly mental chat that judgy pants has brought on Grin TTL sooo funny you were sacked from MD mwwaahhhaa!!

I'm MN'ing from hotel room in india can you tell how boring this business trip is?? Nevermind off to Paris next week for fun not work with DH Grin

Miffles yay for clomid and spotting!! BB I'm in same boat but 5DPO .. want to test already but being away means I can't poas when i know it'll be neg anyway as so early.

Darkstar sorry your not upduffed, there is always next month.

Does anyone know when preg test get properly accurate have some first response at home and was wondering if I tested on monday before going to paris if it would be accurate? Since havng 4 pints at the weekend decided to not drink but would love some yummy wine in Paris (proper large glasses) but daren't have any more until I know one way or another. Any advice appreciated.

NMCB and Crowette are you both Scottish, I'm in and from Edinburgh!?

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 03/11/2010 18:46

Thanks Dynababy, after a horrible day yesterday I am feeling chipper and have already noted next month's likely fertile dates in my diary Grin Had to do something to cheer me up at work after we all got notice of the 'at risk' letters being sent out next week!

Re. early testing, I don't think it's very useful at all. There used to be regular threads on here entitled 'Step away from the First Response!' that gave the stats for accuracy on each day leading up when period was due and then afterwards, and the difference was amazing. Personally I would just go, relax and do what you please, but I can understand why you might not.

Miffles · 03/11/2010 19:09

Evening evening evening,

Quiet on here today - clearly the 2ww hasn't got started in earnest yet, and the rest of us are either on AF or waiting (still spotting, tho tiny bit more today :) ) Singingmog - I think we are getting in sync, aren't we! Love the fact you're checking for pant snot in order to be ready for seriously TTC in Feb....hee hee - we're converting her already viroids! Wink

What drugs are you sniffing exactly, Vallinna? Sounds intriguing! How can you be sure how much you sniff? What if you have a cold? How can that work?! Am I missing something Confused

Pants that ERTD is MIA Eskarina....we'll wait and maybe we can put up BFP bunting for you??? We're about due another one and we're always hopeful.

Cremegg - wow, teaching sex ed to 10yos. That's heavy! I'd struggle seeing foetal development when I want that so much. Had to go into Mothercare today to exchange a gift for someone and walked out quickly, not glancing left or right! Didn't want to see what I'm not able to enjoy at the moment.

Dating scan TTL - yay!! What a useless midwife. How rubbish to not be able to speak to her. Well done for getting things sorted. Just over 2 weeks to wait... Annoying about the cold pregnancy rhinitis.

Dynababy - what a life you lead! India today, Paris next week. None of this Thanet business for you! I'd agree with Darkstar - enjoy your trip and don't worry. Obviously don't go crazy. But the test won't actually confirm anything for you. And as my consultant said (I'm hanging onto this, can you tell!) it's not til 6 weeks that things affect the foetus. No organs and no placenta hook up yet. According to thread rules, you'll have more chance of a BFP if you do drink!

Am off to try and calculate - if ERTD starts in the next day or two, and if clomid were to work first time, when my due date would be..... No one kipper me, please, let me have my fun...Grin

Miffles · 03/11/2010 19:20

(if start on Friday, due date is 12th August 2011. Ok. Kipper me now Blush)

takethatlady · 03/11/2010 19:36

He he no kipper miffles, the due date calculator is a game of endless fun. I play with it every day in a bid to create a different due date for myself so that I can definitely go to see TT on 2nd July Grin

dynababy don't the French drink wine throughout pregnancy anyway?

OP posts:
SingingMog · 03/11/2010 19:43

Miffles I hearby kipper you! THWOCK (sound of kipper around the head)... I need a kipper too though as got preg tests from Sainsbury's with online shop delivered today and announced to DH that I would quite like to pee on one even though I am CD2 and not a cat in hells chance! He looked at me like I was loony. I haven't peed on one btw Smile Why do they make you want to pee on them?! I'll bet the first response is winking at Dynababy from the cupboard whispering at her to pee on it.

Yay for vallinna, sounds like even though long/short protocol keeps changing things are happening Smile

Don't think I'd fancy teaching sex ed to Y10s, doing music is enough for me! Someone passed me a PSHE lesson which had a bit in it about the "pull out method" for Year 7, 8 & 9 mixed form but I thought it was a bit much for the 11 year olds. Think they need to learn about sex first! We were all then debating if it was called the pull out method or the withdrawal method.

Am totally working with that 6 week window Miffles and great excitement about the dating scan TTL.
