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

Who's in?

Oooh, pomme, that's got to be a good sign that this will be the month! On day 2 of "high" on the shag dictator - like it so much better than ov sticks so far, I must say. Nice and certain and can use FMU so less squinting at sticks in the loos at work comparing lines. I can recommend (well, maybe should see if get updiffed first!). I hope everyone is geared up for a lovely weekend of relaxing/sexing/symptom spotting.

PS hope all works put with your DH's job, Pomme.

Well, Aphrodite was clearly having a fortnight off when we were there :(

Still, there's always next month....

Put = out...

Just had a message from a friend I'm seeing in a few weekends time which I think was hinting that she's pregnant. If this is correct, they were only going to start TTC this summer. It's only bloody June now! While obviously pleased for her and her almost indecent fecundity, what is it with all these people merely looking funny at their DHs and getting knocked up, while we wee on expensive sticks, get probed and prodded, have blood sucked out, have acupuncture needles stuck in, do sexing religiously, take our temperatures, fiddle about for EWCM, buy Shag Dictators etc etc etc? What is with that? What, exactly? .

Love - thanks and also, I know!! My doc said that to get pregnant you shouldn't 'try'. So annoying. I'm changing docs.
Sorry to hear that Tigerseyemum.

Sorry to hear that Tigerseye - sorry, x posts. Clearly a practice month for this month when you will be pregnant.

Pomme - x posts again! What is the matter with some of our doctors? Must say mine has been fab but some of the "medical professionals" on here seem to not have a bloody clue about how babies are actually made!

Thanks. Thing is about the 'not trying' thing, it's nonsense as I have endometriosis, so 'trying' is actually quite a difficult and painful thing for me (if I don't do it right) so it always has to be planned (no spontaneous bonking here I'm afraid).

So how can we not 'try'

Or maybe all doctors think it happens like in the movies, where they leap into bed and his willy practically falls into her fanjo and they're at it like rabbits in nanoseconds Like Ben Elton used to say, Tom Cruise's knob must have velcro on because it always seems to find its target straight away. Most normal people have a few minutes of wriggling and shouting 'Not there, not there, up a bit!'

Well, now I have lowered the tone, I am off to visit my elderly parents

Good luck to those still 'not trying' this month.

I am definitely pregnant this month and it's only a week until I find out!

That doctor would probably have been extracted his own stethoscope from where the son don't shine had he said that to me.

Oh Love (fits rather well that) it's SO FUCKING UNFAIR I know. They have no idea what it's like. No wonder we end up cross and want to punch people like that thisisstupid. Have a hairstroke :(

So... 31 days without Af? Should I test I don't feel pregnant I probably am the swi every day and were not trying trying just poas twice per day to see if I have ovulated may work who nose xxx

Hello chaps. Sorry to hear about AF arrivals. How bloody annoying. Not fair.

THIS next one is the month, though eh? All the cool girls are getting preggers this next month. Getting pregnant last cycle is just sooooooo last month.

I'm still diffed apparently, but I'd feel a whole lot happier about it if I could lay claim to a single symptom. I don't feel sick. I have tonnes of energy. And my boobs are in an unremarkable condition. I spent the last few days away with some of my very best girlfriends, all of whom have either a large bump or a tiny baby, and all of whom know I am ttc... and I didn't tell them. I dunno why really. I felt a bit silly about the whole thing and on more than one occasion heartily wished for the sanctity of this thread. I don't think I genuinely believe in this pregnancy just yet. Which is odd because in the run up to it I was ferociously convinced of it. Even before the sexing had taken place.

Aries - how jolly exciting. When are you planning to confirm?

PS - yes, polo shirts, who knew?

Oooh, I don't know. Maybe a week today?

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I have been on holiday the past week and several times thought of you lot and so hoped for some BFP news from you all. And what do I find?!? Our founding member is Up The Duff! Congrats Auber and to the other bfp's (sorry to forget names, I've just read a weeks worth of threads).

No news here. On CD11 and ov predictor sticks are giving me no joy. Gonna dtd tonight anyway just in case.

Okay. So very very tentatively I would like to add more evidence to the amazingness of this thread.
On a frer this am at 10 dpo have got a very very faint line.
Will update again in the next couple of days...
If I am upduffed I believe the moral of the story is to harass your man into rat smacking even when he has the shits. Romantic.

pomme that is too exciting for words. Confirmation needed v soon.

aubers enjoy the not feeling pg feeling while it lasts!

Well, Clomid is doing funny things and have just got smiley face on CD9 which is early even for me. It should be perfect, we are on holiday, in a hotel... I told DH the news that we would be swi this morning and he said 'oh no' and turned over and went back to sleep. Need to find a better seduction routine.

Oh, Pomme, how exciting! This thread really does work!

Oh Pomme!!!!!

Thanks all, very excited although trying to calm myself down as it is early.
Clambering On does appear to be the secret.
Good luck for later on that subject Jebel :)

Oh Pomme, so sorry, how awful for you, timing coundn't be worse really

Oooo that's true Tigerseyemum. Dh has big meeting wednesday actually. I feel that I am totally working this thread :)

I have figured out a good way of knowing when I have ovulated. I suspected it might be the case, but my normally dormant sex drive kicks in and goes into overdrive.

It goes from Driving Miss Daisy to Grande Theft Auto for a couple of days after ovulation.

So, that's a sign I intend to be acting upon this month when the time comes even if I have to clamber on and put it in a splint to do it.

Right, the Shag Dictator has given me three bars and an egg. We have already done lots of sexing in the last few days and will do more. I have all-but given up booze. I have an acupuncture appointment booked for tomorrow. I am basically already pregnant. Jebel - enjoy your holiday sexing!

Yay, on for a wee stalk and good news on my charty thread and here!

too exciting :)

Whoop to all those who have confirmed and poo to all those who have had AF. Obviously next month is soooo your month

For all their reputation as sex fiends sometime I notice men can be very hard to pursuade into the sexing. I would like to present evidence A: conversation on the way to work with DP friday:

DP: So what's you temp doing?
HIDING: not much.
DP: so have you ovulated yet or what?
HIDING: who can say, maybe I have, maybe I haven't. We will just have to have lots more sex to be sure.
DP: that's your answer to everything
