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

gosh you chaps are so well organised!

Mind you there's never been any point my counting because my cycle is so wildly varied (probably a good thing as I'd get muddled straight away).

Sorry to hear about disappointments. FWIW GOML I have used ovulation tests in the past and the only ones I got on with were the more expensive digital ones which give you a smiley face when you're ovulating (very annoying and patronising) - the others were very difficult to read. I spent a fortune on them though and despite shagging like mad when I was ovulating, failed to conceive several months in a row (when I actually did, both times it was by getting into a doing-it-every-two-days routine). So my feeling was it wasn't worth it, esp as it is a pita in terms of what time of day you're supposed to do it to get an accurate reading.

fingers crossed for those of you waiting to test!

Sorry Foghorn, not been there so can't help!

Hopefully ov'd today, dtd day before yesterday, and this morning, so hoping the swimmers are now taking it in terms to head butt the eggy Wink fingers crossed.

I wonder why our periods go so damn weird when ttc? I never had anything but normal periods and then bam.

Got2Dance · 25/01/2011 11:20

Feeling sensitive Foghorn?! Early symptom clearly!

Was off having a coffee break, sorry.

The nausea varies from person to person. Some right thro pregnancy, but worse in first trimester (12 weeks) isn't it? Could prob come from week 6, remembering the complaints of some of our grads.

But def not at CD17!!! [bgrin]

Been there, done that Nickel, on buying for the two eventualities! At least you know where you stand now.

Haha bambam I'm usually so very impatient! But after last time I want to be sure it's had a chance to stick.
Just walked to the bus stop and have a bit of lower back discomfort and tummy feels heavy - so still think AF is biding her time. Hmm

forlorn I think that's the text book idea ... but can be anything from none at all to all the way through?

aquavit · 25/01/2011 11:33

mine vanished at around 13 weeks first time round Foghorn

it also got better at about 10 weeks when I worked out that mainlining bagels eating actually helped! so I'm hopeful that I'll be better set to cope with it next time round

Got2Dance · 25/01/2011 12:28

I'm bored.....

nickelbabysnatcher · 25/01/2011 12:58

How do you make those emoticons!? So cute!

Welcome Kaitee (waves)

Fingers crossed Crowette

Glad you had good weekends with neices and nephews Nelly and Got2Dance. My manager has just become a grandmother so we?re being inundated with updates and pictures and someone at my yard just had a baby so I?m feeling rather left out too Sad

Technically I am craving sweet food at the minute Bambam but that?s nothing unusual Grin

Oh Nickel, sorry for BFN. I know what you mean though, at least you know now

Got2Dance I?m bored too. Boss is off this week (bliss!) so this morning I have typed a letter, sent a couple of emails, oh and finished my last full uni assignment! Yippee! Now I?m reeeeally bored

Figgyrolls · 25/01/2011 13:30

Nickel are you around at work today? I was planning on coming in to see you and let you have a baby squish if you're up for it?

sorry for hijack ladies!

nickelbabysnatcher · 25/01/2011 13:31

hi, yes i'm here all day.

Ha ha on Foghorn getting on her own nerves! I say so buy the clothes. Do NOT put your life on hold til you have the baby. 13 months later, I'm still waiting, so go out and get some glad rags!

Oooo...finished uni assignment Josie that's great! What in?

Figgyrolls · 25/01/2011 13:48

Cool, see you laters!

aquavit · 25/01/2011 13:50

yes, don't put life on hold (weary takes-bloody-ages-for-me-to-conceive emoticon). Actually both times I got pregnant before it was just as I was getting into the swing of a bit of weight-loss/exercise and so thinking that it wasn't awful NOT to be pregnant. It's good to have something else to focus on and a silver lining to the wretched ERTD. So I say, get new clothes and enjoy them!

hmmm...now wondering if dieting is the answer to conception? ...

JosieSmith1 · 25/01/2011 13:56

Got2Dance it's in equine behaviour, welfare and rehabilitation. That assignment was nutrition specifically. It might be rubbish and get referred but as least I'll get some feedback and know what I've done wrong as I couldn't figure out the last question!

I say get new clothes too Foghorn. Even if you do get upduffed soon you can wear them after the baby is born when you bounce back to pre-pregnancy weight and size Hmm

Got2Dance · 25/01/2011 14:04

Ahh.... Josie, that tricky last question. The answer is:
Mainly grass, but they enjoy oats as well.

Hope that helps. Grin

BamBam21 · 25/01/2011 14:46

Yippee! Have a job interview tomorrow at a temp agency. If I get the job I'm bound to get upduffed! [bwink] [bgrin]
