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! Grin

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

Yikes! Red wine and vodka? You're hardcore.

I'm thinking of making the big trek to the city centre tomorrow to buy cheap tests from Poundland. Then I can take one every day... Might buy 20 of 'em.

deemented · 02/03/2011 19:54

Well folkses, it would appear that i am indeed upduffed. Grin

Did another £ land cheapy this morning, and still a very feint line, even with FMU. So went and bought a double pack of first response this afternoon. I POAS and immediately it came up as a BFP - and this was mid afternoon and i'd been to the loo only an hour earlier. I can't quite believe it. I will still be POAS in the morning though!

I told Manshape and he went 'Oh' and then 'Can you have a look at my lip it's a bit sore?' I just looked at him and i could see the realisation dawn on him. He's delighted Grin

Still very early days, but we've got our fingers crossed x

kateepie2 · 02/03/2011 20:10

yay for dee that's fab news!

penguin I had awful heartburn early on, and that felt like my throat was on fire (kind of like the sore throat you get if you take a lungful of really cold air).

hoorah for the mass poas possibilities babylann

nickel I too have been hard at work today, could you tell? Grin

virtual vino all round - cheers! Wine

Katyrah · 02/03/2011 22:43

Hello Ladies! I hope everyone is well =D

Congratulations dee thats SUCH good news! All fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

Me and DH finally gave in and went to the gp, after 14months, 3 hospital says and billions of tons of medication we figured we needed a hand haha! Then, the day of seeing the doctor and being told how hard and medical and what a 'special case' im going to be my friend tells me shes pregnant! She got flu and sick over christmas and it cancelled out her pill and BAM she's pregnant! Obviously im very happy for her, but is it really bad that i just cried???? Feel guilty for it but i just cant help it!

Think ill crack open a bottle of wine haha, its been one of those weeks!

NervousNelly · 02/03/2011 22:58

Hello viroids, thought I'd just pop in again. I've been very inconsistent in my presence, but still have a very unwell horse, which I'm finding very emotionally draining. And I have to say, feeling very about everything else in life, including JSing. OH and I haven't had sex in over 2 weeks. And the ERTD was indeed just a normal, ridiculously early one.

I'm also a bit Envy about your ages. I'm 36 :(

Sorry, all I seem to do is come on here and moan! I am however still very happy for dee and her digital BFP! Don't think I missed others, but there does seem to be some exciting symptoms???

The only good thing about last months daftly short cycle is I've realised I'm on CD7 already. As if by magic, the window appears! So I better get my shag cape shined up!

. Does anyone use OPKs? What day should I start? As my cycles have been a bit inconsistent, I keep missing the window. Thought I'd check if I'm reading the pantsnot signs properly Wink.

Katyrah - I've been necking rather a lot of Wine at the moment. It's all good..... Grin.

Katyrah · 02/03/2011 23:02

Must be something going around Nelly, I know that 'meh' feeling!

Wine is the answer! And smarties im finding Grin

JosieSmith1 · 03/03/2011 09:00

Congrats Dee!!!

I need some urgent advice viroids! Team manager's daughter is bringing her baby in this morning and I think I may have a full blown panic attack, I'm on the verge of one now and I wish I was exaggerating! What do I do! I had another meltdown last night because someone said her friend was pg. I just started crying and couldn't breathe and then I started shaking and broke out in a cold sweat. I managed to stop myself eventually but I'm so scared it'll happen again when the baby comes in and it'll be in front of everyone. I feel so ill and I'm going to the docs next week as I'm off work, but how can I deal with this morning's imminent threat

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 09:41

Dee that is such brilliant news.Wine I am so pleased for you and Manshape. Hope you have a suitable bump-friendly dress for your wedding day!Wink

Josie I really don't know what to say. I really feel for you. Try to keep calm, and keep breathing. It's so hard, but if it's any consolation, we are all thinking of you and understand.

Katyrah · 03/03/2011 09:44

Ok first calm down Josie! I went the same when my friend announced her pg! As for dealing with the baby, it's a baby! Just smile and coo, you don't have to hold him/her if you don't want to - and I always try and remember that even when a friend has a baby it doesn't mean there is less room in the world for me to get pg or have a baby- they're isn't a certain number of newborns or pg women allowed in the world at one time!don't know if that will help you but It does Me!

Good luck, god knows if I've helped like - just please try and relax because you don't want to make yourself more ill!

JosieSmith1 · 03/03/2011 10:23

Thanks, god you must all think I'm such an idiot! I've calmed down a bit and feel a little better. I think it was just the shock. I'm trying to engage with people at work and not sit quietly at my desk, that way I can't think about it. My friend suffers from anxiety disorder and knows all too well about panic attacks so I've texted her and although she hasn't replied, the very act of texting her has helped. And I've been reading about breathing techniques so I'm working through it and I know that what I'm feeling isn't dangerous and I just need to get through it.

Thanks again! I'll look back at this period of my life and laugh, maybe.

Katyrah · 03/03/2011 10:32

You will im sure, that's what I'm counting on anyway!!

And no one thinks you're an idiot, everyones done it - I did two days ok!but sometimes it's good to freak out, cry, shout at how unfair life is, then breath and step away from the situation and calm!

Socialling with work people sounds like a good idea, shift your focus to something else and when you see the baby you can be happy for your work friend!

And stop thinking you're an idiot, you're not!

babylann · 03/03/2011 10:48

Yay dee! I'm so pleased for you, I bet you're over the moon. But what will your MIL say? Wink

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time Josie, Nelly and Katyrah. Have a Wine on me tonight.

POAS again tomorrow. Seems like DD isn't in the right mood to go shopping today so think I'll have to fork out the stupid £££ to get DP to pick one up from the chemist on the way home. I have a good feeling about it though. Smile "Famous last words."

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 10:56

I'm glad you are feeling things are a bit more in perspective now Josie. Like Katyrah says though, we've all felt that way and nobody thinks you're an idiot. Smile

I felt absolutely hellish this morning. DP and I had a wee drink last night, and I was fine and watching MasterChef, and getting really annoyed with the woman who kept talking about "tatties, neeps and potatoes"Hmm, and then suddenly I felt so smashed and was lying in bed with the ceiling burling! Like babylann said, I'm quite hardcore and never really get drunk. Kipper alert, but I'm starting to wonder if it's a symptom, on top of the ERTD-type feelings I've had the past few days??Confused

Nelly I meant to say, I used OPKs for a while but stopped as I was never getting a really clear reading. I used First Response ones. Don't know if the digital ones are better, but they are all so expensive. Hope your horse is showing signs of getting better now.Smile

JosieSmith1 · 03/03/2011 11:26

Thanks so much everyone. Imminent panic is over now although I'm still feeling pretty ill. My friend left me a voicemail saying she hopes I'm ok and that she'll always be here for me so that was really really nice as I thought I may have frightened her off with my babbling texts. Maybe when we're over this stage we can look back at the texts and laugh at my expense Grin

I think I might quietly ask the manager to alert me when her daughter's on her way then I can take a short leave of absence while she's here.

Anyway, onwards and upwards

P.S. Nelly hope your horse is ok, will PM you

deemented · 03/03/2011 13:08

Thanks folks.

Had a bit of a panic this morning when i tested with the frist response and only gotr a very very feint line with my FMU. I just went andspent a tenner on one of those clearblue digital ones which actually says the words, and it came up with 'prenant 1-2' Phew Grin

Am actually quite relieved and delighted. As for other people, well we've decided to wait until after our 20 week scan to tell everyone. And when Manshapes ma asks why we didn't tell her sooner i'll take great pleasure in telling her that as she's been so negative in the past we didn't think she'd be hapy for us. I predict lots of 'irresponsible' and 'trapped' mutterings from her, but she can fuck the fuck off.

Hope you're all doing ok today? Sending (cwtches) to thise who need them.

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 14:30

That's great that it's still all going well for you dee. Love your attitude towards MIL too!Grin I predict that she will be one of those really interfering grannies when bub arrives if she gets half the chance - but I can't see you giving her half the chance!Grin

I just woke from a wee doze (most unlike me) with such a start, as I need to collect DS from school in half an hour. Good thing the school is just down the road! I didn't want him to go in today as I'm not convinced he is feeling great yet, but he was so excited about dressing as Charlie Bucket for World Book Day! Sweet! Smile

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 14:31

P.S. Meant to ask for ages - what does (cwtches) mean? I gather it's something about hugs? Confused

deemented · 03/03/2011 14:34

Yes, it's the Welsh word wor a hug. It means, cuddles, loves, squishes...all rolled into one Smile

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 14:41

Ahhh, I see!Smile Thanks dee.

PenguinPoo4 · 03/03/2011 16:20

Congragulations Dee! That's fantastic! If MIL goes mental about it just remember you can cut her out completely if she goes too far. I've done it with family members and it is heart-breaking, but ultimately easier than having toxic people around sucking the life out of you. By the way, I think its awesome that you plan to wait till 20 weeks to tell people, I'm not sure I'll even be able to last till the 12 week point before I spill the beans. I'm an over-sharer haha!
Josie - 'hi!', did everything go OK at work? Hope you managed to bite the bullet and hold that baby - after all you need the practise as you may well be next. Hugs x
BamBam my 2WW buddy. Red wine and vodka? This is getting strange now, I drink red wine at home and vodka in the pub, are you me?

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 16:39

Ha ha penguin! Grin I tend not to drink red wine any more, as after having DS I just didn't seem to like it as much. I drink far too much vodka and diet coke though.Blush I know I should be more careful now though since I am on the 2WW.

DS won a prize for his Charlie Bucket outfit! Grin He just went in ordinary clothes and had the inside of a Rolo wrapper as his golden ticket! GrinGrin

PenguinPoo4 · 03/03/2011 16:49

Congrats to your DS! Genius constume too. I know my illness must be getting better as the bottle of red I opened the night before last but couldnt stomach is tempting me! Off work sick again today but will go in tomorrow as am definately on the up. About alcohol on the 2WW - I've heard that drinking etc cant affect baby till it's implanted, but how long after ovulation would that be? Is it days or weeks?

BamBam21 · 03/03/2011 17:02

Not sure penguin. I think around a week after ovulation, but really have no clue! I did drink up until I got my BFP with DS, and I didn't test until I was late, and no harm done. I think as long as you don't get steaming (like me last nightBlush)regularly it's not too much of an issue.

PenguinPoo4 · 03/03/2011 17:09

Ah OK, just wondering as I plan to go out Sat night and may get rat arsed a bit merry. Might just go for it, doubt I'll be pregant from 1st cycle of trying anyway

babylann · 03/03/2011 19:04

Just got another BFN. Stupid me, not being patient enough when DP came home to wait til FMU. I was just feeling so optimistic!

Got another one for tomorrow morning, but thinking I should leave it a couple of days. Didn't manage to go to poundland so had to buy a couple of expensive ones and this constant POASing is ending up costing more money than DD costs!
