By hook or by crook we will shag our way to victory - thread for the JSing viroids

[Miffles]

The (updated) (again) 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator for the Viroids:

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday (or when you?ve had bad news). 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 every opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Keep acronym-age 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.

Bunting is to be put out for any small victory, thread-parties are held regularly and hugs are always welcome!

Once you have your BFP, feel free to hang around and share your wisdom and virtual cocktails with the JSers.

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

I've always felt guilty about doing nothing on days off - but it's rest time, so why not rest?! I'll feel better for it, and will not have anytime off work until April now (makes note to book birthday time off)

I can finish the decorating over the weekend, with OH here to help me.

Ooooh biscuits, sounds like a great idea to me ... hmmm, I have some bourbons and custard creams somewhere!

Resting on rest days is a bit of a skill. I always feel like a fraud too. I have to work some Sats, then get an afternoon in the week in lue (sp?). And whenever I'm off during the week, I feel I ought to be working - esp cos DH is working. Also get a bit bored with the TV!!

Oooo...pub lunch. That should've been nice, and even more disappointing if not. What did you have?

Just heard that 2 people died yesterday at the hospital where I work, from flu (prob swine flu). Both had no underlying conditions and one girl was only 22. Finding it really quite scary. I've had the flu jab cos of asthma, but worrying about my sisters and family.

ARGH - stop with the biscuits!

I have been uber-strict with the low-GI diet since egg collection (help to control PCOS 'weight' along with the Metformin). Def working as still only 127lbs but lord did I want crips yesterday!

Since egg collection I had completely lost my appetite and had to make a effort to eat, REALLY unlike me! I put it down to everything being swollen therefore my stomach not getting much room and the damn wind/constipation. As of yesterday my appetite has returned with a vengence so having to be very careful!!

I'm terrible for eating too many biscuits/choccy, I actually have a reputation at work

Miffles I had a jacket potato with beans and cheese. The potato was nice and fluffy but the whole thing was bland (maybe my tastebuds are off , ever an optimist )

127lb... that is a dim and distant memory....

Josie - did it taste metallic?!

And Nelly , has your ERTD arrived properly yet?

Trying badly to figure out 127lb in kgs. I think it's roughly half so joining Miffles in the wistful look.

I used to work shift work, 5 days on in 7 so have noo problem with not working on weekdays, or trundling into the pub at 10pm having just walked out the door at work. Well at least it used to be no problem, in the dim distant past that didn't involve children.

It's just over 9 stone and about 57kg. I was when I was married. Then contentment took a hold. Then came off the pill, PCOS kicked in and ballooned!! Well, a stone anyway. Now keep thinking I need to lose weight, but the ups and downs of TTC make it hard. So hats off to you Vallinna

Also Nickel - thought I ran into you on another thread. I called out, but I think you'd already disappeared. You alright?

Hey ladies, sorry I went awol. I went shopping to bluewater with my lovely sil and spent way too much. The good news-i bought a gorgeous jumper dress which shows off my bump, maternity jeans, and some lovely cardigans and tops. The bad news - there's more red and I feel sort of saddle sore. Not been riding horses, bikes or dh, so don't know what that's about.

Yay for happy twinnage bb! And so glad your dh loves it and has delivery experience, even if it is with farm animals. I weigh same as vallinna but sil is 6 stone and 4 foot 11 so I feel like a farm animal myself...

On phone and picking up dh so more later...

Oh Josie not a fabulous day for you then, hope the biscuits helped you to feel better and remember it's not over yet!

Miffles I'm giving you a good hard slap for thinking that you are overweight at 10 stone - surely not?! (although I am a person who does not pay much mind to the 'traditional' view of what weight is attractive and have been everything from a size 10 to a size 16 and back again over the years, so do feel free to ignore me completely!)

TakeThat yur shopping trip sounds lovely but at more red. Hope you can get it sorted so you know that nothing is wrong. Like Vallinna said some people do bleed and it's quite normal, I know my sister and SIL both had red blood during their pregnancies and everything was absolutely fine. for you my lovely.

I'm so glad it's Friday people, am heading home shortly for my much needed weekend! This week has been tough going after such a lovely (and long) Christmas break. We have a surprise 60th birthday party for my MIL tomorrow night so am looking forward to that, otherwise I shall be mostly chilling out and drinking wine!

Yes miffles ERTD is here. Oh joy.

X-post truff. you've just reminded me of the No 1 reason to be happy to see the red fecker- Wwwwwiiiiinnnnnnne

LOL Nervous by only craving so far (beside meat by the ton!) has been really heavy red wine! Am completely abstaining until at least 12 weeks due to being a paranoid freak about everything (and I am secretly hoping I can outlast that. But, spoken like a true alcoholic, I can totally remember - and mentally savour - my last drinks (30th Oct, hotel bar, 3 cocktails, divine!)

Sorry ladies I feel like my weight thing was a nah-nah-na-nah-na which it wasn't meant to be :( I gym and run a lot (because I enjoy both) and have to really watch what I eat, but much less so now on the metformin. Which makes me think my PCOS symptoms would have been more typical had I not been a disciplined freak from the get go!

TTL - hang on in there. I am sure things are fine. Do you have an appt with anyone soon? Everything crossed for you.

Have my scan on Monday to see if the applepip is in the right place. I want to cry whenever I think about it. And then get more stressed because I am worrying IYSWIM... :(

I tell you, I think this worry starts TTC and continues until they are at least 18!

Vallinna very exciting about your scan, I hope you can look forward to seeing your little bean more than worry about it. I know easier said than done, will be getting excited on your behalf!

Nervous mmmmmmm wiiiine!

On that note, am off to meet Mr T in the pub for a cheeky drink. The weekend starts here people!

Oh vallinna how great you have a scan on Monday :) I bet it'll be lovely. Maybe double loveliness like bb

Back with brown again now. Getting a bit hacked off with all this red-brown-red-brown-nothing-brown-pink malarkey. Still, after reading up on google I'm just glad nothing's green Also hacked off that on further reflection one of the tops makes me look like my gran, so that's going back tomorrow!

Oh all you ladies with the wine, I am so I want WINE...

(vallinna, 3rd October, 3 vodka and cokes after work in the grad bar on campus. Not even a glamorous cocktail, like yours, but still a memory to treasure )

The fat lady appears 2 b warmin her vocal chords . Got all excited thinkin I had made a huge mistake with temps, but I haven't, it's definitely dropped .

On the other hand, I can have a drink this weekend (sorry 2 all the pg people!)

Sorry josie :(

Get plastered, that's what I say :)

Already started on the wine!! Tee hee...we opened one bottle DH was given for Christmas. It was poor - so both said "life's too short to drink bad wine" as we poured it down the sink!

Ooo... Vallinna - scan on Monday. Will you be able to see if it's twins by that stage? Exciting.

Sorry to hear Nelly and Josie are back to square one again. It is hard isn't it? We'll keep cheering each other on. :)

Well done on keeping calm, TTL. Although your description was a bit like hearing about a snooker game!

Truffkin - don't worry, I'm not worrying about my weight. Not really anyway. And I weigh closer to 11 stone at the mo - I mentioned putting on a stone, but that was on top of the contentment weight! And I'm a short arse. But hey, I'm healthy.

So, I go away for a week and what happens?!
BB so good to 'see' you again and OMG twins - fantastic! It'll be amazing...tiring, but amazing
TTL sorry to hear you're having stressful spotting - just when you relax a bit, eh? It sounds like everything's ok though from the scan so hopefully it'll stop soon.
Mog congrats!
vallinna glad to hear things seem to be going well - fingers crossed for Monday!

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and freaking out. Sicky feeling is not as strong as it was and boobs not as tender as before, but I read it's normal that they 'normalise' around this time. Have scan in a week and a half so just need to hang in there. Unfortunately I look like I'm about 5 months pregnant already (it's my 2nd) so don't know how I'm going to hide it at work for 2 weeks - 'went heavy on the mince pies' might work?

sidles in sheepishly

stands in corner looking sorry for deserting the viroids and being wallowy

Hello everyone.

Feel very silly for running off like that, I should be more grateful for all my blessings, I know that. Was just feeling so shit.

Hope everyone had a great NY and are feeling positive about 2011.

I am a bit sore, had my op on Weds. All went okay. They found 2 patches of endometriosis, which they treated there and then with diathermy. They did a D&C at the same time. Have 3 small wounds to my stomach, and am a bit swollen, but not too bad really.

Doc said there is no reason why I can't try again when I am healed and my cycle is back. The patches weren't in places that would have caused the MC's or anywhere that could cause probs conceiving.

So it's back to the start.... :)

Sorry again for being selfish and crap.

You so were not selfish and crap. Not at all. You have been through more than any of us and I can't imagine how you are feeling and have continued coping. So please do not berate yourself.

I am pleased to hear that the op went well and they were able to deal with the endometriosis there and then. You can give yourself some time and see how you feel in a month or so.

:)

Glad ur back Caz and fingers crossed ur healed and back 2 JSing in no time

Might have been a bit pre-emptive earlier, no further signs of ERTD . It's bn a day before though so I'm tryin not 2 get excited just yet (avoids readin previous posts where I was waaaay over excited!)

Caz welcome back and I totally secong TheMifflingOne in saying you had every right to indulge in a bit of wallowing. Glad to hear things seem to be working out for you. Gere's to trying again with far more sucessful results

Josie! I simply can't keep up with you! Will be checking back tomorrow for the latest installment

Sorry for more wine talk TTL I'll swap you my alcohol stash for your bun in the oven Just think about the massive binge you can have once your bab arrives!

Good to see you again Sleepy so glad you are feeling positive about 2011

Josie I'm waiting for the next installment too!

I am about 11 stone too Miffs. Have put on about half a stone since I got married but I am about 5'8" so BMI still fine.

Milano, 10 weeks I think that means bean is the size of a prune? Totally blame the mince pies and if anyone asks if you are updiffed then say "Are you saying I look fat?" and give them a face.

TTL for stress about spotting.

vallinna really hope you make it to Monday's scan without getting too stressed out. Just think about how lovely it will be to see the apple pip .

News here, I can't eat chicken. Put some in the slow cooker yesterday and when I tried to eat it for tea it just tasted really really wrong. I would've blamed my cooking, but DH says it tasted fine. Cramps getting much less frequent but boobs still hurting. Very of all the shagging as even though I may want to it would just hurt too much!
