No Science. Just Shagging. Them's the rules! Thread for the Viroids.

[NervousNelly]

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). (But it does work).

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.
OV is ovulation - I'm allowed to forget what date I've OVd, feel free to join me on that one!

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

So we really need a super fertile thread this time Viroids! Come on, Shag Capes at the ready :)

Good luck, dee! I would agree to buy one of the fancy digital ones. It's not like you need to make a habit of it - but having a faint line is a definite special occasion if you ask me!

I've got my fingers crossed here too Dee. My first test was very faint also, then I tested 2 days later and it was much stronger.

I'm BF DD as well but with feeling so sick and pukey all the time the poor poppet has to feed from me whilst I lie on the ground. She sort of looks like a farm animal drinking from the trough but luckily she finds it hilarious .

Hope all is ok with all other viroids!

Did I miss something brightcopperkettles ? You kept that one quiet, congratulations xxx

Fingers crossed for dee xxx

Morning viroids! Still got my fingers crossed for you dee!

I didn't know about you either bright, but really pleased for you. It must be hard with a wee one to BF too.

I have DS at home today with an ear ache. He is quite prone to ear infections but I'll hold off taking him to the doctor and see how he goes. I still have the strange ERTD-type feeling in my tummy today, but it's way too early and no spotting. DP and I have been JSing a lot but I'm determined not to get excited too soon. Not really succeeding though!

Hope your DS makes a speedy recovery BamBam.

I name changed from PracticallyImperfect and did mention the BFP under my former moniker at the start of this thread :). I thought it might be a bit greedy to double dip on the congratulations!

Thanks again though .

So you did... me being dippy bright well congrats again! I too am feeling pretty sicky and generally yuck, gawd knows how I would cope with BF at the same time! MS has lived up to its name this week, bleugh.

PS there's a thread for us graduates in the antenatal club if you get chance to lurk x

Oh I remember now bright! DS has had Nurofen and seems a bit better, but much quieter than usual. Poor wee scone.

Penguin that is so kind of you to say - I missed your post when I was reading yesterday! You seem like a very selfless person.

But I don't think anyone should feel very sorry for me. I already have my DD and she is still young (I want them close together is all), and I've only been trying for a few months where as other people have been trying for longer, if not years.

And there's nothing too unusual with irregular periods is there? People get them all the time, I thought. It's just annoying that it's now, really, when I need them to be regular.

Any update, dee?

Sorry to hear you are feeling sicky, katee. I was so lucky with DD, literally didn't have any sickness apart from feeling quite nauseous whenever I was in a car. I've heard it can sometimes pass at the end of 1st trimester though, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for that for you.

I am glad you are feeling more positive today babylann, but if you have any worries you should still go to your doctor. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with irregular periods though. Mine occasionally go a bit mad for a bit then settle down again.

I understand you not wanting a big age gap, but don't worry too much. When DS was about 2, I thought I was pregnant (unplanned, with ex-H) and I was so happy. He wasn't and made it quite clear. My doctor thought I was too, even though I had negative preg tests. When my ERTD turned up, it was horrendous, and I suspect it was maybe a MC, but all ex could say was what a relief it was. I won't say here what I think of him, but it goes a long way to why he's my ex!

DP and I are very happy and SO want a baby. DS is now 7 and would love a baby too. In many ways I'm glad that when it happens for us, it will be into a happy family for he or she will be wanted and loved.

Parenting really doesn't come naturally to us. We're young (22) and DD came at such a difficult time - I was due to go to university within a fortnight of getting my BFP, and DP was heading off to a university at the other end of the country. We didn't know what to do, but we knew we couldn't have a termination as it just didn't sit right with us.

We planned to have children but we wanted to grow up a bit first. We were already engaged when she was conceived (planning to marry after uni), so we already knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives.

We both have siblings with close ages to ours and want the same for DD because we know that we had happy childhoods and want to try and replicate that (of course, not saying people shouldn't have age gaps - just that it worked for us when we were kiddies and feel it made us better people ). We've had to change everything so much, and can't wait for the end of the nappy changing and bottle sterilising, and burning our hands while we make up formula.

So we want to have our next baby asap for so many reasons. People keep saying "once you've stopped making bottles for a year, you'll be devastated to have to start again with another baby!" I'm sure that's not true for everyone, but I think it applies to us. We find so many aspects of DD a chore, but love her immensely. And I want to be a SAHM until my babies are at school so that I can put my all into either building a career or finishing off my education when she (and any other baby that may come along) is there (plus DP's salary really can't be stretched to childcare.) IYSWIM.

I expressed my thoughts to my HV when she was still visiting, as I was so determined to have them close together I wanted to start TTC when DD was about 2.5 months old! HV pointed out how young I am, how I could have another baby in 10 years if I want to - but that's not what I want.

(I always feel reluctant to disclose my age, as I know people can stereotype, but I think I'm in a safe place here )

Oh and forgot to mention - I've been broody ever since DD was born! Seems quite peculiar that your own baby can make you broody.

Can't believe the behaviour of your ex. Anyone who sees a MC as a "relief"... well, I can't even finish that sentence

Doesn't matter whether they want the baby or not - they could at least show some sympathy for what the woman who did want it is feeling.

I'm glad he's your ex and that you're much happier with DP.

Thanks babylann. I wasn't at all trying to be judgmental. All I meant was that I hadn't wanted a big age gap either, but that I'm glad that when I do have another we will all be happy about it.

Don't worry about your age either. You are a great mum to your DD, and that's that. Mind you, I'll be 34 next month! Aaaarrrggh!!

And yes, ex was a total tosser unpleasant man. DP is wonderful and I love him.

i'm already 34 :(

(2 months' time i'll be 35)

Oh no nickel! Sorry! I know it's really not old, but compared to 22......!

Nice to see you though nickel. Very quiet here today.

Afternoon Everyone!
Any news Dee?
Oh Babylann, I had no idea you were so young - you don't 'sound' it (IYSWIM). Mind you, I had the maturity of an 8 year old when I was 22 and could never have coped with motherhood I can see why you would have your kids close together though, my closest sibling was 6 years older and we just couldnt enjoy spending time together at all till we 'grew up'.
BamBam - hope your lad feels better soon. I like knowing that you are on the 2WW with me, company's good :)
As for me, I'm off work with a throat infection and fever, so no shagging for me at the moment, cant think of anything worse right now. On the bright side, DP is getting quite into this TTC thing, I got him a book aimed at men and he was reading from it last night and telling me things. I also ordered some ovulation sticks today. I'm not reaqlly worried about us conceiving (yet!) as we've only just started trying, but I'm a control freak I want to feel like I've got some control over things.

It's great to have a 2WW chum penguin! Hope you feel better soon and can get JSing again.

I could never have coped with being a mum at 22 either, so hats off to you babylann.

Haha thanks Penguin and BamBam

It's difficult in some ways, because there was a lot I wanted to do before I settled down - university, travelling, etc - but I wouldn't change it for the world now. Can't deny I get a bit of an envious churning in my tummy whenever someone my age tells me about their travel plans or their nights out though

Main problem is the way some people look at you or assume you will be on the basis of being young with a baby (especially as I apparently look 16). When I went for my operation before Christmas I had this conversation with doctor:

Doc: So, babylann, what do you do for a job?
Me: I'm a stay at home mum.
Doc: Ahh. Single mum.

No, not single! They always assume if you're young and have a baby, that it's the result of a one-night stand, the dad doesn't want any part of it, you receive benefits and live in a council house or still with your parents. And probably leave your baby in their cot crying all day while you have sex with strange men, and smoke all over your baby while you feed them. Sometimes I just want to put a sign around my neck saying: "I'm still with the dad, we don't get benefits and we're actually good parents. Stop staring at me."

Bam, I didn't think you were being judgemental. When I re-read what I wrote earlier (before the follow-up two posts) I thought I sounded a bit defensive which I didn't mean to at all, sorry!

Penguin, sorry to hear you're poorly. Hope you get better soon.

{I feel so pregnant today}

i don't think i'll cope with being a mum at 35!

i've been busy working today (but shhh, don't tell anyone!)

That's okay babylann. People can be really awful and make totally groundless judgements, so I wouldn't blame you if you felt a bit defensive! I hope your feeling turns out to be right!

Thanks for the get well wishes! Am currently shivering like crazy, duvet and hot water bottle not helping :( DP was funny last night though - he came home from work and I told him how awful I felt and that my throat hurt and the first thing he said was 'maybe you're pregnant'! Where exactly does he think the baby will be growing that a sore throat would be the first symptom
That doctor story is very funny babylann! I'm sure it upset you at the time, but really, what a twat! As if age was the primary factor in whether or not people are good parents, haha! Tosser.

Oh penguin you poor thing. PMSL at your DP!

Mind you, just before I got my BFP with DS, I felt awful with a sore throat, and then got hand, foot and mouth disease! So maybe a sore throat is an unofficial "symptom"!

Maybe! When I went to the Docs this morning to get some anitbiotics I told her that we are TTC just in case it made a difference to what she could prescribe. Telling someone in real life made it seem real...eek!

That was very sensible penguin! When it was me, I had no idea and was washing nurofen pills down with red wine and vodka!
