I am jolly well going to get pregnant this month and I'll brook no argument.

[allhailtheaubergine]

Who's in?

Dh has a stomach bug and tonight is dtd night (cd13 +opk yest and today). Sure it doesn't really matter if he can't muster up the energy as will obv be pregnant anyway but umm - how can I make sure he does muster the energy?!!

Lots of water and possibly some Dioralyte, and you'll have to do the work (I believe Aries once called it 'clambering on').

Hahaha at clamber on. I'll get my riding boots on! :)
I just have to remember to be nice this evening which is sometimes hard when ovulating - I appear to become a bitch :)

I am also being a bitch pomme - I am taking this as a good sign and my certain pregnancy as justification for me being the office bitch this week.

bloofs - am about to head back to the UK so will order a batch load of those naughty babies (although of course I won't need them as I am obviously already pg).

maybe - a shadow is awesome that is the closest thing to a BFP. And your other symptoms are preggo-fabuloso. You are positively blooming.

ps pomme give him an immodium and tell him to stop whining, you are after all the one who is almost - but for a minor technicality requiring his involvement - preggers.

Further advice pomme If he is feeling/being sick, pop him a motilium. they work wonders. Poor thing. You can sympathise with him once these next few ways are out of the way. Though it will be you that needs the TLC, seen as you will of course be pregnant!

Thanks jebel Encouraging words. Though at the moment, I feel more hot and sweaty than blooming

ooo he's had a super strong Spanish version of immodium this am so hoping that kicks in. He's gone to work now - if he can go there he can dtd right?!
We missed cd13 last cycle and am convinced that's why I wasn't pregnant .
Hot and sweaty is good - you get warmer when pregnant due to the extra blood, although that may be a little further along.

Bloofer I have stacks of those sticks lurking around my house too. Used one this morning despite actually having my period at the moment. (Insane? Moi?)

Only on CD3 here but feeling a little pleased that I won't have to "clamber on" tonight as my head is thumping. Body is obviously preparing it's self for something exciting soon ....

pomme could always get a syringe, let him.sit back and relax then pop what he creates into the syringe ! Saves him using too much energy but you still get his sperm .
I too used one of those rough.and ready babies yesterday and got a pinky shadowy line, I did pull it apart first though! Showed DH who confirmed said shadow but he refused to get excited said test this am so I did, one of the cheapies AND superdrug, both bfn. Should I still be excited? Surely my post gym wee was less concentrated than first morning?!

Hi Ladies. Well, af finally got me yesterday .....however, on the up-side it means I'm on CD2 of the month I am getting pregnant, with the added bonus of a boozy holiday shag fest starting from Saturday Early pregnancy on a Spanish holiday island would have been such a bore.

I'm liking the "everyone's a winner" DIY sperm collection advice to pomme there have, how can her DH refuse?!!!

And Maybe, that "line" is sounding very promising too. Keep POAS and keep us posted!

LOL read nearly all the 'fred nearly PMSL but savin the P to POAS!

Can i join in ?
Although i am obviously already pregnant even tho i havent had a period in like for ever and i am on 22and a half days post coil removal!!

keep POAS ladies xx

Oh Herethere. Blast and damn it. But, as you say, the Timing Couldn't Have Been Worse, and you are going to get pregnant THIS month which has already started, so WIN. Have a super Spanish shagfest

Welcome Meme. Pull up a ginger biccie :)

Well, I am SO totally preggers. 13 days past ovulation and I don't feel periody. The usual script has me foul tempered and vitriolic around now - instead I feel quite chilled and generally don't mind other people living on the planet with me. I only have one (expensive) wee stick so am going to hang on until at least CD31 if I can. 32 even.

Other symptoms:
Not finishing my tea.
Crying about stupid things.
Tiredness.
Low-level nausea when I remember.

Symptom adding: metallic taste in roof of mouth.

Oo have sounding good. If you're pg then you must be in the know so maybe the syringe idea is a go-er...

I've heard it suggested on here before and it's mentioned in Taking change of your fertility. DH has suggested we try it next month (he doesn't get that I'm.already upduffed!) since I seem to be ovulating so flippin early reckon I need his sperm before af has even left!

pls may i have a hob nob instead was force fed ginga when upduffed with DD1

and the more nob action the better i believe

I've thought of the syringe when DH has been ahem under performing.

have you are so obviously pg, you just need more concentrated wee.

I now have no symptoms which is good news as friend told me she had no symptoms until 8 weeks. See - I am so obviously pg. Like aubergine would have pre-period symptoms right now usually.

Arseburgers, here

I second the Spanish bonkathon. Get that sangria down you and get on it

Am chuckling at 'nob action'!

About 4DPO this end. No symptoms but pah, as if I need symptoms, knowing full well, as I do, that I am indeed great with child.

So sorry AF got you, here. But all this means is that you will join me, Amanda, schobe et al in getting pregnant this month instead. I am going to make a Special Effort this month since it is the last I will have to TTC. I am going to bring out the decent underwear and try to persude DH into bed by means other than saying things like "yes, I know we've already done it loads, and I don't want to either, but you've got to." There will be candles and romance. I may go shopping for some kind of sexing accessory. Oh yes. I cannot face another month of half-hearted sexing that neither of us are enjoying. I will enjoy it, dammit.

Er, and obviously if DH enjoys it too that would also be nice .

You say 'sexing accessory' and I think of those platinum-gilded dildos that look like Philippe Starck sculptures .

Why would this be your last month, Love?

Me too, bloody AF. Well its still 'this month' if I get preggers in 2 weeks time isn't it?

How do you persuade the DH by the way?

My 'get naked I am ovulating' approach went down terribly last month, he simply cannot do it if he KNOWS.
So I have to act all horny over a consistent period I suppose but on the ONE DAY I get my peak/smiley face he is not in the mood.

No amount of cajoling helped, not even porn.
AND then what happens if baby farfall was conceived with the aid of a porno, its just oo grim to think about

i think handcuffing him to the bed by his hands and feet whilst asleep and clambering on may be an idea?

lol at being concieved whilst watching porn, theres a story to tell at ther wedding !!
i think DD1 was concieved in the car park of netto (in a car in the middle of the night so ashamed!) when i was a teenager i cant imagine telling her that even so embarrasing

Damn, I just wrote a really long post which vanished.

Summary:

Bloofer - last month TTC as I bloody well will be pregnant this month, come what may. I do quite fancy one of those toys that looks like it might be an objet d'art or possibly some kind of posh kitchen implement!

farfella - there are some good discussions going on above re syringes...
