JSing viroids, on your marks, get set, shag!

[JosieSmith1]

The (updated)(again)(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

Hello everyone!
All ok here but had a stupidly busy couple of days with work. In the last 36hrs, I've been to meetings in Chichester, Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, Cambridge and Gatwick!
How I'm meant to fit JSing in as well, I don't know!!!

Babylann - don't worry about offloading on here. I sometimes get so down and jealous of people that seem to be able to fall pg at the drop of a hat (everyone in RL except for me it seems )I try to tell myself I should learn to be grateful for what I have. 6yrs ago I was a single girl in my 30s with no sign of a DP, let alone a baby and now I have DH and DS so I should just be grateful for what I have! (Well that's what I try and tell myself!)

Josie and Bam - hope you both feel better soon.

Nelly - is the B&B full again?!

Evening all,

I am feeling particularly relieved tonight as school is finally finished for easter. Am Absolutely shattered after a long term and also due to unexpectedly having spend the afternoon with my mother in law. Am looking forward to a lie in tomorrow though and a bit of honeymoon shopping!

Babylann honestly don't worry about off loading and feeling like you do. I have often had times like that to the point where my DH looks at me sometimes and then asks me whether I need to have a cry! To be fair he's usually right and I do feel alot better afterwards :)

Bam and Josie get well soon. There seems to be a load of horrible bugs going round. Hope you are both able to enjoy your weekends.

Hope you managed to fit some JSing in eventually SES! And pleased to hear you're looking forward to your time off, Becs.

Thanks for all the support. I think I've hit a real low point. When I was younger, I had a particularly difficult thing happen and have ups and downs since then, and this is definitely one of the downers. It's like I feel okay for a few months, in fact I tend to get proud of myself for how well I'm coping with things, and then one tiny completely unrelated thing has to go wrong and I go straight to that time in my head and become deeply sad and angry, as though it's all fresh again.

But I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do, and I must be driving DP crazy because I've started wallowing in my own misery and not wanting to do anything. He's so wonderful and supportive, but he never knows how to deal with me when I'm in one of these "stages" and we end up sitting in silence for hours.

I should probably have namechanged for this and gone to the mental health forums or something, but it's never the same as talking to people you feel understand you.

Evening viroids! I apologise in advance if I waffle, as we?re at the end of the second lovely bottle of wine tonight . Score 1 for Not Being Pregnant .

And breathe?.

Josie sorry you were feeling sick, hope you feel better now. I have to say I?ve often ridden whilst feeling a bit off, sounds very naughty and skivy, but the fresh air and exercise is often the cure you need!

bambam I?m West! In the middle of nowhere really, just the way I like it. Hope you also feel better soon!

Sorry for passing on my ERTD babylann, although mine hasn?t actually arrived properly yet . And very sorry about the house too ? though to add some more trite clichés to my previous ones, it will all work out in the end! Either you?ll get this one, or it wasn?t meant to be. And please don?t apologise for your rant. I get really angry when people make you feel bad for being down, by pointing out that others have it worse. I?m sure we all realise, however bad a time we are having, that someone somewhere will be suffering more, but that doesn?t make our own troubles any less important. Rant away, that?s what we are here for. Oh hang on, I?ve just read your latest post, and sounds like this is more than just a passing blue phase :( I hope there is someone in RL you can talk to, as well as us bunch of reprobrates!

Have a guest in the B&B just now SES - Mum again. She came down on Thursday, although this was at my request. We had to head up north to a wedding (OH?s cousin) so Mum came down to look after my horses (would normally just ask someone local but the 2 hourly feeding is something only family members can be relied on for!) Anyway I was looking forward to a good night?s sleep for once, only to be foiled by single glazing, and a hotel too close to both the nightlife and the coast. Screaming birds all night ? either the stiletto heeled drunk variety, or the fish-supper stealing Gull variety . Oh and OH?s Mum spent most of the night talking about everyone she knew who had just had a baby, or was pregnant, or just getting married, bla bla bla?.

Hope the honeymoon shopping was fun, Becs :)

Right, better post, attend to my spoiled horse?s every need, then collapse into bed for a few hours. I wonder if I can persuade my Mum to do the early shift, so I can have a Sunday lie-in for the first time in forever . Hope you all have a lovely Sunday, and are planning fab things to do with the Easter weekend .

Ok viroids, I know that was a long post - but you aren't all STILL reading it are you?? Where are you all??? .

Tough long day at work day, enjoying some wine now! Hope you are all well and getting in plenty of JSing .

Evening Nelly!

Had my girls here for the weekend, so not been on.

Waaaay too tired for any JSing, on CD27 here and it doesn't even look as though I've ovulated this cycle afterall and can feel ERTD cramps

Spent the day out and about on Saturday, went to see the new Turner Contemporary Gallery, on my feet all day and it's done me in since!

Some good news though - my sister had her 20 week scan today and found out she's having a girl, after 3 boys! She'd have liked a girl with her third, even ate food and timed conception supposedly favouring a girl, but still had a boy so resigned herself to not having a girl. Six years on she's surprised to find herself pregnant, then finds out she's having a girl. Apparently there were tears all round and her husband is expected to stuck in the pub celebrating for the rest of the pregnancy of course they adore their boys, no question about that, it's all been a wonderful surprise for them. I'll have a niece among all my nephews!

Hey everyone.

Nelly, I know the frustration of losing what you've typed. I find it particularly infuriating trying to post from my phone. When I preview what I've written, if I notice a typo (which I usually do because I type faster than I think) I have to try and pinpoint the error with my fingertip which is really difficult, as where the phone recognises my tap usually doesn't correspond to where I actually tapped. So either I leave the typo there and look silly, or I spend ten minutes trying to change it, or I just give up and think "I'll wait til I get home then FFS."

Congratulations crowette on your sister's great news. Sorry that it hasn't been your month this time around.

My ERTD lasted about 30 minutes, the lightest bit of spotting ever. I thought maybe it was just a warning shot and that later it'd come fast and strong, but it never did so who knows what that was all about. Especially as I started having cramps and feeling a bit PMSy.

And apparently I've started beating DP up in my sleep, hitting him and trying to push him off the bed. He said he woke me up and said "Can you stop it?" and I shouted at him and said "I CAN'T HELP IT - I'M ASLEEP!" [evil grin]

I'm feeling a little better emotionally, though still not 100% myself. Doesn't help that DD has been teething all week and got a bit of an upset tummy, making her a bt stressful to deal with and some of the worst nappies I've ever had to change.

Babylann, sounds like you are straying into poas territory.... spotting, cramps, odd behaviour... hmmm?

Congrats on your sister?s news Crow

Sorry you?re feeling down Babylann, if you want to talk about it feel free to PM me, I?ve recently suffered from depression so I know what it?s like being that low

Not a lot of news here, my cold has gone onto my chest so I?m still quite ill and can?t breathe properly. JSing this weekend was a no-no pretty much so I?m writing off month 10

Pg colleague is going to hosp today as she?s been bleeding and it?s bright red so she?s pretty worried. They?re both rhesus negative and although I don?t know what that means I figure it?s pretty bad. She?s not been well either though, she?s had this cold and now she?s been throwing up (her baby had a gastrointestinal virus over the weekend so she?s maybe picked that up) so fingers crossed everything is ok

Hehe, maybe Katee But I don't know. I just can't possibly imagine I'm still ovulating when I've not had a period since mid-January and then had sudden and unusual cramping.

Thanks Josie. I might take you up on that. My mum lectured me yesterday about how difficult I am to be around when I'm depressed, basically asking me to stop it. So I obviously can't talk to her. And DP has so many problems at the moment, I really don't want to put on him any more. I'm just trying to be positive. Which is doubly hard when I have a dentist appointment today

I hope everything is okay with your colleague. How far along is she?

She's only 4 months (that's my worried face) I hate when people think you can just snap out of it when you're depressed! DH used to think that till I got it, now he realises how bad and difficult it is. Hope the dentist goes ok

Hi everyone.

Lovely news about your sister crow. I would just love a wee girl. Aren't their clothes just lovely!

I really hope your pg colleague is okay Josie. It must be a real worry for her.

Babylann I would echo Josie and say you can PM me any time too. I have had depression and it's horrible, although mine was in the aftermath of my dad dying, and all the mixed emotions that brought. Must be a hard and tiring time too with DD teething.

No news here at all I'm afraid.

Colleague texted to say she had a scan yesterday and the baby was moving and the heartbeat could be heard so all was ok yesterday, but then she's had another red bleed today but the midwife has done swabs and everything but a scan and everything seems to be ok but it hasn't really put her mind at ease. We've got a feeling she might be off on mat leave pretty early.

Fingers crossed for your colleague Josie

Another one here who knows how depression feels - amazingly my sisters and best friend at the time told me to just snap out of it, of course it's that easy I still suffer, I should be on Citalopram, but didn't want to take it while TTC ... I have good and bad days, and anything can make me cry.

Bit of bad news here to counteract the good news on Monday - my Nan passed away last night she was a good age, nearly 90 and it was expected. She'd had a fall at home a couple of weeks ago, and had been in hospital since and died of natural causes. She'd been suffering Alzheimers for quite a while, so didn't know where she was. Apparently she thought her mum was in the hospital with her.

As for me - it's CD29 in the Crowette house and nothing happening. I think I mentioned that I've broken thread rules by charting my temps (to see if I was actually ovulating) and this month, due to the erratic nature of the temps it didn't seem I had OVd, but I'm not so sure that was the case - I definitely had tender boobs and OV cramps around CD14, plus EWCM, so I played about with my chart a bit and took out a couple of high temps just before then, and now it looks there is a temp shift on day 14, but my temps never really got that much higher. On CD 27 my temps shot up and have stayed up, but I've felt like ERTD is on the way, had quite bad cramps on Monday, but nothing apart from twinges since. I still feel premenstrual. SO I have no idea what's going on! If I didn't OV on CD14, then I may have done on CD27. I'm not going to test til 14 days after that, if I still need to by then. so yeah, think I'm going with being 3DPO today I think. Maybe.

Oh crow what an up and down time for you. So sorry about your nan. I have my fingers crossed that you might get some good news though.

Your colleague must be so worried Josie. Hope she is okay.

Nothing doing here. I think I'm around about OV though. Not getting much JSing in though, so we will see!

More cramps tonight, think ERTD is imminent afterall

Sorry to hear about your nan Crow Sorry about ERTD too but look forward to giving it a good go next cycle

Get the cape out Bam

Still nothing here, off to my friend's wake later this afternoon so not really a good day, had about 4 hours sleep, and at about 1am I thought the dog was dead, so it's been a bad night and now it'll be a bad day too

Hello everyone. Just popping in as I'm away this weekend, visiting DP's family as soon as he gets home from work until Monday night and don't know how often I'll be able to access a computer.

Everyone seems to be having a bit of a difficult time at the moment. I'll be thinking of you today Josie, and I'm so sorry about your nan crowette - and your ERTD of course.

thanks guys!

Cramps have stopped now and temps are still high, highest this morning breasts are very sightly tender, just like pre ERTD, had an eruption of spots - usually get one or two at this time, not this many! CD30 now, and definitely not feeling pregnant, so have no idea what is going on. I'm refusing to test as it's possible I may have OVd late, but then all the symptoms I'm getting now are pre ERTD - apart from the high temps

Hang in there Crow, will keep my fingers crossed for you x

[busmile] Just for fun [bugrin]

OOOH, I love [busad]!! It's so cute!![busmile]

Hello all - hope you've been enjoying the sun :)

Josie - hope the wake went well (or as well as it could)

crow - really sorry to hear about your nan :(
How was your temp this morning?

babylann - how's things? I can understand you not wanting to put too much on DP but don't shut him out. (Sorry I'm not meaning to lecture you really!)
Hope you're enjoying your wkend away.

Hello Bam, Katee, Nelly and anyone else I've missed.

I'm being pathetic rebelious and breaking the rules of the thread with temping, OPKs but I did find my shagcape earlier in the week. Just a shame DH was away for the day of ovulation

Anyway Happy Easter [bugrin]

Happy Easter viroids! [bugrin]

I spent most of my afternoon sleeping today, ho hum, guess I needed it! DP currently cooking yummy chili, I know its a bit late to be eating, but better late than never!

Hi ses temp yesterday had dropped a lot, but I did temp 2 and half hours early as I had an early shift at work, also restless sleep. Is back up a bit today, but not as high as it was. Still getting mild cramping and tingly boobs ... convinced ERTD is on the way! CD32 now.

How is everyone and are you all having a lovely weekend? I had to work yesterday - don't usually do Fridays, but I have to do 2 Bank Holidays a year, so chose Good Friday and Royal Wedding ... the joys of working in retail!! So I was up at 4am, walked the 45mins into work to start at 6am. Was a gorgeous walk, so warm even at 5am that I took off my jacket and just had my short sleeved shirt. The store was manic, like Christmas! And I accidentally came up with a new word for some customers - cuntstomers!!! I was trying to tell a colleague about an obnoxious customer, but obviously another word for them was in my mind and merged the two made my colleague nearly pee herself laughing though.

I finished at 12, and OH and I went for a walk with his daughter along the beach ... we've now added jet skis to the list of things we're going to have when we win euromillions!!!

By the time we got home last night I was shattered - ached all over. We're out again today, shopping for my youngest daughter's birthday presents. It's her birthday tomorrow, we're off to the beach in the afternoon, then home for a lovely roast lamb dinner. Back to the beach again on Monday when my eldest gets here (she's working tomorrow ) I shall need to stay in bed for the rest of the week after all that, but it's going to be so much fun!!!
