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

Miffles it is a packet thing where you choose your meat, grave/sauce, carbs and veg. The portions are small the size dinner is meant to be, so good for the health kick.

NervousNelly · 17/10/2010 19:58

Right, have tried to replied twice and lost it due to my over-sensitive touchpad. So this'll be short. Angry

Hello viroids, welcome to dynababy, glad you have your CD1 BB and sorry you are feeling low miffles.

Thought I was about to start spotting today, but such a small amount it was almost invisible. 12DPO. No PG symptoms but no sign of my usual 4 days spotting either, so more mentalness to come I'm sure.

Right will post this before I accidentally hit backspace again.

baby2b · 17/10/2010 19:59

I think it was laughing at the term dildo-cam that made me join this group. It describes it perfectly.

I think the supermarkets are missing a beat by not having an online section listing fertility boosting foods/drinks. I would like to click 'add all to cart'. Do you think people at work will notice I am only drinking grape juice/nettle tea and munching brazil nuts constantly?

SingingMog · 17/10/2010 21:29

People at my work didn't notice when all I was drinking was cranberry juice (or when I stopped drinking coffee with wild abandon), so think the same would apply to grape and nettle juice. Mind you, if there are any other people ttc then they might pick up on it!

takethatlady · 17/10/2010 22:09

Hey viroids

Glad the dildo-cam confusion is all sorted Grin. I've got fluctuating boob symptoms which are driving me nuts, plus I went shopping with my old school friends today and lied about being pregnant. We had an 18 month old baby in tow and two of them are pregnant and due in December. I was a model of restraint. Wanted to yell out 'I'm UUUUUUUUUPDUUUUUUUUUUFFED!' Instead said 'nope, no baby news yet from me' Wink. Funny how becoming a mum means really practising your lying skills :)

So glad you got your period bb. Better luck next cycle :) I've got a really good feeling for you.

Loving the health kick and all the brazil nuts flying all over the thread. Chuck your spare nuts this way, still not trusting the stickiness of the bean. In fact, I need slapping with a kipper and stoning with the nuts, I reckon, to stop me panicking.

Hope you're feeling better miffles. Gotta go and poke some more boob now, but I'll see you all tomorrow.

Hey to the newbies and sticky wishes to the preggo ladies :)

iPhone posting so being brief...

Pmsl for "hard core ttc'ing" miffles

Thanks for seeing me through this tough week viroids. To nick someone elses phrase "you guys rock"!!

Miffles · 18/10/2010 10:34

Kipper-slap me, please!

Am on CD23 with some spotting. Have convinced myself I'm (in TTL's words) upduffed and this is implantation. Despite the fact I'm not sure I've ovulated at all in the last 5 years. And my periods always start like this. And I have zero symptoms, despite much boob poke-age. Blush

BrassicaBabe · 18/10/2010 10:44

Morning all

Monday is always healthy kick start day! It's the only way to get rid of the poundage that piles on over the weekend Grin I've been enjoying those Innocent Veg Pots for lunch; the work canteen is crap. I managed to put on about 4lbs over recent weeks. It's got to go. Plus the other 4lbs I was trying to shift anyway Hmm

Rule break alert! I bought 100 (Yes, 100!) internet cheapy pg tests from ebay. Last month cost me an absolute fecking fortune in pee sticks. I had just stopped using them when I got the BFN at the docs. So I can't see the next BFP being better.

Josie what haircut did you go for in the end?

Miffles want some of my pg pee sticks?!

Miffles · 18/10/2010 10:49

100!!! wow! I keep nearly doing one of mine (expensive ones, though) then realise how silly I'd look, cos I know it'll be a BFN and then AF would arrive.

Oooo....got a symptom tho - extra clicky and loose joints. Ok so even with the help of Google, I can't find this is an actual symptom, but I'm clutching at straws here!

Those innocent veg pots are good. Feel so virtuous eating one of them!

cremegg · 18/10/2010 11:03

hey all!! wow 6 pages ( i wrote pgs but realised that could be misleading!) is lots to catch up on! hope all well!

congrats to TTL :o

how are you doing BB?

{waves} hello newbies :o

ERTD has practically gone already (since fri... so pretty sure my cycle is pretty close to few others here) Am now worried fri-mon is too short?!

Don't know whether to break rules and try lots of these remedies and temp chart jobbies as think i may get even more obsessed... got some ov sticks tho. was gonna try FF, but loving hedge's opinion on that, lol!

its bloody spring here (obv great for weather) but feck me EVERYHING has a baby at the mo! birds in nests (much to my cats' joy!), tadpoles, emus and koalas (all very cute i admit and was excited to see, but is a tad ironic when on AF!)

how u doing josie? hope that hairs looking fab again after riding hat! hehe

must dash, DH keeps trying to read thread! (acronyms getting better of him though!)

CE xx

milanomum · 18/10/2010 11:18

Hullo!
Welcome dynababy I'm saying nothing, but I used Pre-seed (did I mention that before? Wink) last month and now I'm pregnant.Maybe it works, maybe I was lucky...
TTL and nomorechoc glad things are going well for you both - sticky thoughts!

BB hurrah! glad you have orientated yourself again! Lots of luck!

Nelly I thought my spotting was the red-fecker...

Miffles I feel for you m'dear - Last cycle I was so completely "meh" about it all. Sending you loads of positivity and big hugs.
I'm STARVING. ALL THE FECKING TIME. Not good. Will be ginormous before long.

Miffles · 18/10/2010 11:30

Had missed that Nelly was spotting but red-fecker had not arrived...how's things today? When are you going to cave in and test?!

milano - was the pre-seed from amazon?

takethatlady · 18/10/2010 12:38

brassica 100 tests! That has to be a record Grin I won't have the ebay ones in the house because then I pee on them two or three times a day even before ovulation. I think, 'it can't hurt, just to pee on one little stick, and they're so cheap'. So now I am spending a fortune on paranoia peeing at £2 (and sometimes £7) a pop.

milano I'm not hungry but I'm thirsty all the time. My lips are dry, my voice keeps cracking when I talk. I can't drink enough! And miffles I shouldn't tell you this but that is definitely a symptom. My DH only has to press my upper back very lightly and it clicks all over the place. It's relaxin, getting ready to move your joints for holding a sprog and pumping it out.

cremegg I am so with you on that babies everywhere thing. It's autumn here but that doesn't make it any better. TV is all about babies. Friends are all having babies. Babies are on every single feckin' advert on TV. Everybody in town is pregnant or pram-pushing. Urgh! Just console yourself that soon you'll be one of them.

My boobs hurt again thank fuck. Still not sure it'll all stick, though, so off to forage for nuts...

Hope you all had a nice weekend, glad you're feeling better bb :)

Miffles · 18/10/2010 13:04

omg....you cannot tell me that TTL!!! It is like that exactly - I reach to change gear and my back clicks. Breathe in too deeply, small click. Have always been clicky, but this has been lots more in last week. AAAaaahh!!!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 18/10/2010 13:09

Ohh TTL being thirsty is good! You need to take on lots of extra liquid because your body needs to make your bladder work overtime up the volume of blood you have. when is ERTD/AF due Miffles?

Envy at CE (and half the people I know) going on about Spring time. It's not like you have real Winter's in Oz anyway.
I wouldn't worry about your short period though. Mine a like that sometimes. It's if you have a short luteal phase that you really have to worry about.

Nothing much doing here. Might get another pee stick this afternoon for tomorrow morning so that I can do a proper POAS announcement for my DH and make it official, but then I may just save my money and not (or I could break into Brassica's house and steal a couple of hers, it's not like she'll miss them!).

milanomum · 18/10/2010 13:28

Miffles - yes, from Amazon Jungle!

I'm not at all thirsty. Have to force myself to drink more because then I get scared by pee which looks like tea Confused

Brassica are you going to get into stick pushing?

takethatlady · 18/10/2010 13:45

Pee which looks like tea? Milky tea or brown tea Grin? Seriously though, what do you mean?!

Sorry miffles I am a bad influence Grin

Thanks nomore! Glad things are going well for you too atm. I think I'm going to buy some sticks on the way home. There's a Sainsbury's en route. I tried to go there this morning but there was an inconvenient traffic jam on the other side of the road which prevented me, and which I temporarily thought was a sign I should bloody well stop testing. If only I'd bought 100 tests

OP posts:
takethatlady · 18/10/2010 13:46

PSML at stick-pushing by the way.

I am a greedy stick-guzzling customer and I'll give you a good price Grin

OP posts:
Miffles · 18/10/2010 13:51

pmsl at stick pushing!! We need to watch out, BB may start lurking outside doctor surgery's in a long beige mac!

NMCB - sadly I don't have a "normal" cycle...AF tends to come after about 12-23 days. Today is CD23, so longest it's been for a while. But not exactly hopeful for a BFP!

And what do you mean about doing a proper POAD announcement for DH - does he not know yet?!

Miffles · 18/10/2010 13:52

POAS, not POAD...what would that stand for anyway? POADragon? POADoughnut?

Miffles · 18/10/2010 13:55

TTL - when did you lose your BFP last time?

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 18/10/2010 14:04

Miffles DH definately knows, but we're not admitting to it yet. It's bloody hard though! I've told DH that all going well I'll be presenting him with a cigar and officially telling him I'm upduffed on Tuesday morning.

Not sure I like the idea of peeing on a dragon, to many flames.

TTL stop poking your boobs! They'll be black and blue soon. Ow!!

NervousNelly · 18/10/2010 15:19

Afternoon viroids. Another busy day at the office I see Grin

Well miffles and milano I nearly cracked this morning, even went as far as PIAR. But (TMI alert) then when I wiped, the tissue looked a bit too colourful. :( So I didn't even take the strip out of the packet. Put on my period pants, and sure enough next toilet break I have proper spotting. Well actually it's more brown sludge (again, TMI Blush) but that's prime sign that ERTD is on it's way for me Angry.

I shouldn't be cross or upset, as really this is the first month I could have expected a BFP (last month I think I ov'd early). But hell I'm impatient, and cranky and old, and now, apparently, full of PMT Hmm.

Not quite CD1 for me, and of course I'll be hanging by the fingernails to Milano's suggestion, but I suspect it's game over for this month. The only thing that is really upsetting slighly annoying is that, I think, this would have been my last chance to have a baby before I turn 37. Though haven't done a due date calculator for a CD1 starting lets say tomorrow, so will go and do that now. I might just sneak in before the deadline Wink.

Hope you are all having a good day. On the plus side, there is an unopened bottle of red with my name on it :)

NervousNelly · 18/10/2010 15:30

Meh.... Good news/bad news Angry

Good news - if I am back to CD1 tomorrow or the next day as I expect, my due date WOULD be before my 37th birthday :)

Bad news - OH is away for 3 or 4 days next weekend, which will be in the days leading up to OV.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Miffles · 18/10/2010 15:47

Oh Nelly - I feel your pain. I am dashing to the loo every hour as I'm still spotting. But only on the wipe - so pretending it's not really happening yet.

Can you stash yourself in DH's suitcase and go with him? Kind of like a conjigal (sp) visit...
