Last thread was here

The (updated)(again)(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). (It just takes longer to get in the mood

Aww thanks nomore Blush. Serves me right, I've been off being busy with my horses, making non-pregnant plans (covering all bases, you see?!) and took my eye off the JS ball Grin.

Got2dance - ummm really don't know what to say to that! On the one hand, what a lovely offer. On the other, I think I might feel a bit PO'd that someone did that? Is it presumptious? I can't decide Hmm. I think I maybe agree that if you did go down that route, that it could be weird if it was someone you know? If it was my egg, I'm not sure I'd ever really be able to step away properly? On the other hand, it would be good to choose someone you know in terms of health, morals and physical attributes (not in terms of being shallow, but it might help if they looked at least a little bit like you?). Anyway it's a huge minefield, and I'm sure you won't have to worry about it as the Clomid will work and you will be upduffed very very soon :)

Welcome Katyrah, LizzyMathsWhizzy and toytown

Sorry for ERTD Cheeser

Nelly I went out for a good ride yesterday and although I?m suffering today I had the time of my life! (supposed to be taking it easy but we ended up going for a blast and jumping scary twigs Grin)

My window is today until Friday. I have warned told DH so we have agreed early nights this week. Will see if that goes to plan Hmm Trying on a bridesmaid dress tomorrow, bit worried as the bride said she?d wait until march for the dresses, just in case. If I get pg this cycle I?ll be 6 months at her wedding, hope they can amend the dress just in case! The design looks like it?ll hang nicely over a bump as it?s not tight so hopefully it?ll work.

Sorry to anyone I have missed, there's a lot to catch up on!

BamBam21 · 17/01/2011 10:29

Morning all!

toytown - I get my thyroxine levels checked once a year by my GP. That's apparently standard once the level seems to be stable. It might be worth going along and asking about it.

Got2Dance - I think I would have been quite taken aback by that offer! I'm sure she meant well, but if it was me, I'm not sure that I could handle it.

ERTD started today. Oh well. I'll just have to keep JSing. Smile

Hi to everybody else!

milanomum · 17/01/2011 10:41

'Lo everyone! Goodness this thread is filling up nicely! Smile hello newbies!
I am crap at keeping up with you all, sorry! Hope you all had nice weekends.

I have my dating scan tomorrow and am a wee bit scared even though I saw the bean about 10 days ago... 11+2 today so trying to hang on for another few days before telling people, even though I SO look pregnant.

Hoping for lots of BFPs tomorrow in the test-fest! Grin good luck!

GetOrfMoiLand · 17/01/2011 10:49

Hello everyone

That is quite staggering to be offered someone else's eggs. I think my face would look like this Shock

I have still not come on, am going to test again tomorrow. I am sat here with a pencil skirt on with most of the hooks and eyes undone. Mind you that may have nothing to do with pregnancy but have something to do with being a fat ape Grin due to pot noodles and chelsea buns.

Boobs of rock though and cannot sleep on stomach.

milanomum · 17/01/2011 10:57

GOML hmmm... most definitely suspicious!

G2Dance that's just odd. Although, maybe it wouldn't be. I once read an article about 2 friends in the same situation and the donor was really cool about it all and matter-of-fact, so maybe it doesn't have to be very weird. I dunno.

For those of you who have long cycle I read an article recently by Malcolm Gladwell here if you can be bothered, which was very interesting - all about what 28-day cycles do to our bodies, (but not if you're TTCing of course, then it's just irritating).

I am testing tomorrow Foghorn.

GoldFrakkincenseAndMyrrh · 17/01/2011 11:05

Carb craving can also be a symptom along with boob of rock (which gave me a rather odd mental image of Brighton Rock...). Sounds promising GOML

Good luck for the dating scan tomorrow milano

deemented · 17/01/2011 11:06

What time??? not that i'm stalking you or owt

I once donated some eggs whe i had IVF. Hope it worked for the lady who got them Smile

Hope everyone had a good weekend full of JSing and relaxing and not obsessing! Grin

My weekend was so-so, I was more disappointed than I thought I'd be about the arrival of the ERTD. Even though it was the first month I thought the horrendous nipple sensitivity that I'd had was a big symptom. So a bit Sad. DP and I had a big chat on Sunday morning about our plans, we're toying with the idea of moving but I need to be in a better paid job ideally, but then if I change jobs now that means putting TTC on hold. But we could still move, just move within London rather than the big move out of London which we'll be doing eventually. He also agreed on aiming for three children Grin which is brilliant. So then there's the issue of me being out of work for years while we have three babies in fairly quick succession (if all goes to plan, no guarantees of course). So lots of things to think about... but we're still going to 'try', or more accurately, just 'not NOT try'. And let nature take its course, and then make decisions as and when we need to. Phew, that's rather a lot for a monday morning!

Horrendous PMT today, and a need to eat absolutely everything in sight. So far I've resisted the big tray of teacakes that someone's brought into work, and I've had a pear instead. My good intentions won't last for long, I can tell. Hmm

Hope everyone's well today Smile.. and I'm rather Envy of those who are testing tomorrow!!

Also not sure how I'd take the egg offer. Probably would respond 'oh how lovely of you, what a generous offer, but hopefully it won't come to that' but afterwards I would probably analyse and think Hmm then feel all weird about it.

GetOrfMoiLand · 17/01/2011 11:17

lol at testing for the hell of it.

No am not doing another POAS thread! I think people have had their fill of my piss Grin

Interesting that you say that about carb overload - I am not normally a carb lover (have trained myself) but this weekend I ate a whole cottage loaf, stood up in the kitchen, and last night came back from a 4 hours drive, had a macdonalds large meal, was still hungry and had a pot noodle. Followed by ice cream. I am not normally that much of a pig (that would explain why I can't do my skirt up though Grin)

GetOrfMoiLand · 17/01/2011 11:19

Cheeser that sounds like a pretty hefty discussion Smile Sorry you were so disappointed that your period arrived (btw, what does ERTD mean Blush)

I am bloody starving, am going to nip down Tesco and get some hot cross buns for lunch.

GoldFrakkincenseAndMyrrh · 17/01/2011 11:22

I didn't do carbs that much before - since getting upduffed I feel like I've eaten nothing but.

Hurrah for not not trying, Cheeser. Just shag and let things happen...

GoldFrakkincenseAndMyrrh · 17/01/2011 11:22

Hi All,

Going to take a bit of a break from this thread. I feel a bit like the 'old fogey' now - the influx of newbies is great thoughGrin

What with all the IVF I was a bit (Ok a lot!) of a fraud in the first place and now I have the mini-pod growing (finger crossed, fingers crossed, fingers crossed!!) I feel quite out of the conversation loop.

I always feel the need to caveat on here just in case - none of are meant in a negative way Grin

May toddle over and try and reignite the antenatal viroids thread.

xxxxx

nickelbabysnatcher · 17/01/2011 12:31

welcoem to the thread LizzyMathsWizzy and toytown - glas you could join us! Grin

Got2Dance - Shock at your friend, but also Grin , i think - I know it's odd, and that I don't think I could ever do that from someone I know (attachment worries - you can imagine every time they do a playdate with you they have a "special bond" with your child) but what a lovely and generous offer (egg donation has huge risks iirc, and it hurts like hell, i'm told)

Josie well done for JSing all weekend! Grin

GOML I too believe you POASd too early for your BFN. Hope tomorrow's test is BFP! Grin

Cheeser sorry you're upset about ERTD - if it helps, the second time I got ERTD after we started JSing, I was sooo upset, and I didn't know why, because i've never been that bothered about it - we're both very much if it happens, it happens (both of us had got to the stage where we truly believed noone would ever want to have babies with us), and when I got ERTD, i just cried.

Hi vallinna I know what you mean (in the loveliest of ways) ... it's so lovely to have lots of new JSers on this thread, and as there are lots of people here now we don't want to run two parallel conversations between the upduffers and the shaggers Smile

Will go and help you with the grad thread!

Got2Dance · 17/01/2011 13:55

Will...miss.....you Vallinna and TTL ....please.......don't go...

crowette · 17/01/2011 13:57

Good afternoon viroids! Glad to see so many on here :)

Sorry to see some moving over to the grads thread, but I suppose that's inevitable. Hopefully we'll catch up with you all soon ;)

My PC has died, so I'm having to use my phone and am therefore more limited :( it's difficult to type on the phone with a cat lying over my typing arm!

Am about 6/7/8 dpo- not sure of exact day of OV, but going by the symptoms I had. Getting the occasional boob twinge, mild cramping and slight nausea when hungry. Still early days though - blimey, this drags!

Fingers crossed for good news for us all :)

Got2Dance · 17/01/2011 14:03

I agree, it certainly sounds like you could be upduffed, GOML. Will wait with eager anticipation for your test tomorrow. Has the test fest been reduced to just you, though, as ERTD has caught Cheeser and BamBam
?

I'm glad you all had pretty much the same response as me, about egg donation. When I told DH about it, he was Shock then said "I'm not sure I know how to process that information or what to do with it" Grin. She is a nice girl, but just no, on so many levels!! I agree about the attachment thing, although so generous of her to offer.
