Thought I would take the plunge and start the June thread! I won't be getting my May BFP as my cycles are sooooooo long. Who's. With me?

Nightmare sex stories... 16 and my bfs brother and 5 mates barged in grabbing the duvet?! I was mortified in top and starkers!

floweryboots .. Big hugs for you. hope you are calmer.

basically, just as rue said, the hospital maternity ward will run a support group for people whose birth was traumatic, as yours clearly was. I am pretty sure this is standard now for most trusts. get on t'internet and see if you can find your local one.

And I would say you are a prime candidate to ask for an elective csection. But first you will need to get on their radar so see if you can get in touch with the support group. Good luck!

I have ordered my new preg tests for June tonight. I got the FRER ones but do not plan to test early. DH will be the keeper of the piss sticks until day AF is due.

CD8 for me and H is working away. And I still have the evil AF so still no bedroom antics for me yet this cycle. winkle I worked out that in this cycle, your total will be about 6 months of my (non TTc ) antics!! I bow before you oh shagtastic one!

I dont like sleeping in the house on my own. I don't count the DSs. Or the cat. feels weird.

toobreathless · 15/05/2012 23:05

CD18 here :) how did that happen?

I should really still be on the May thread but I'm hoping to hold off testing until June 1st (who am I kidding? Grin )

The sex stories are making me feel very boring!

tedmundo · 15/05/2012 23:05

Wow x posts and refreshed screen to some eye watering stories.

I actually have a small scar on my arm from being banged into a door frame by DH many many many years ago....

ribs sorry the wench got you .... Hope you ok

Pinkie29 · 15/05/2012 23:54

I have plenty more cringe worthy stories! Oh to be young again!

wishfulthinking1 · 16/05/2012 06:03

Redstrawberry- yep, I'm still hanging around. I want to be able to congratulate you all on your bfp's!! Re: cramps- I did have period like cramps about 4 days before AF was due that continued until i tested- might have been implantation / stretching- who knows?!?

Ribs- sorry she got you. June it is then!

Floweryboots- you poor thing. I got myself stressed out and quite cross with oh this month as for various reasons he was too tired and fed up we didn't do it on cd14,15 or 16. I was pretty convinced that it meant I was out for the month- but I wasn't!

Winkle- glad you're feeling more positive- I think your eod plan sounds good. Fx for you!! But your friends sex story turned my stomach!! :-)

Fingers crossed all- happy shagging xxx

RIBS · 16/05/2012 08:15

I'm just loving all the sex stories. Can we start a new thread. I could write a book. Biggest nightmare was with exboyf who lived at other side of country, drove these 4 wked, went off 2 sand dune s.
He dived straight in n I felt v wet looked at sand, blood everywhere. He'd snapped his banjo. We had 2 walk 2 his parents covered in blood.

RIBS · 16/05/2012 08:16

His Parents house that should b! Not 2 his parents. Lol.

Pinkie29 · 16/05/2012 08:41

Cringeworthy thread is a great idea Grin

redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 08:42

hahaha these are good for a morning read.
Gutted she got you RIBS

Hello wishful I am not sure what they were but I was unable to sleep on my front last night and felt the pains till late night. They seem to have stopped now, just want May to go a bit quicker.

I think June will be our month! Lots of positive energy today.

winkle2 · 16/05/2012 09:09

That sounds painful ribs!

Cd10 here. SWI starts this evening. Told hubs hes not allowed to go to the gym today so he's not too tired later!

Orders pregnacare for this cycle too.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 16/05/2012 09:20

Hi winkle best of luck with all the planned dtd. On cd 11 here, will prob start dtd in a few days. Not feeling it just yet, sex drive normally rockets up pre ovulation and am not particularly interested at the moment.

Only had one af since I stopped bf dd so no idea when I will ovulate this cycle. Don't want to start dtd too early and run out of steam.

The falling asleep incident was with an ex don't think the other half would be impressed if I did it to him. Grin

AmayaBuzzbee · 16/05/2012 10:32

Wow, have been away for a couple of days -it's busy here!

Wishful -congratulations! Fab news! :-)

Jaqueline -congrats on passing your driving theory test!

Flowery -DD was conceived either from swimmers which were 5 days old, or from escaped swimmers from a DTD session 1 day prior to ovulation (swimmers did not end up in me that day). What I am trying to say is, that even though you had to stop -as long as the banjo was in the fanjo, it is quite possible -even likely, that a few swimmers escaped prior to stopping. And you only need one!

I hope you are feeling better, sounds like you have a lot on your mind. I also think elcs might be a good way to go. I had emcs with DD, and will definitely ask for elcs this time to avoid the hours of labour hell that I endured prior to emcs last time.

CD 9 here! Started DTD and testing for OV. With DD I got positive from OV stick on CD 9! Will wait till the evening before testing today -very excited! Smile

(makes a mental note to try her best to reduce coffee and wine consumption, sigh...)

AmayaBuzzbee · 16/05/2012 10:32

Kicking -any news today?

Pinkie29 · 16/05/2012 10:52

Amaya GrinGrinGrinGrin @ banjo in fanjo hahaha

winkle2 · 16/05/2012 10:57

Banjo in the fanjo - love it!!

AmayaBuzzbee · 16/05/2012 12:52

Is anyone else here necking grapefruit juice? When I was ttc DD, it was the tip no.1 in baby forums. I don't have any research to back this up (too lazy to look!), but people were then saying it is meant to increase the cm, hence making it easier to pinpoint ovulation, and also paving the way for the swimmers to get going in the right direction. Don't know if this is true, but I have the fridge full of it (lucky I like the pink variety!), and it certainly does not do any harm! Was necking it when ttc DD too.

The other tip back then was to drink a small (note: small!) glass of red wine on the days when implanting is expected to take place. The idea behind it was that it increases the blood flow 'down there' making it more friendly and habitable place for the egg to land itself.

So, cheers to grapefruit juice and red wine girls! Grin

mrsmellow · 16/05/2012 13:05

flowery hope you're feeling better - we too have had unsuccessful completion of sex at 'crucial' times...

amaya - love the grapefruit juice and red wine plan...
I don't have any embarrassing sex stories that I want to share Wink

redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 13:07

Have heard about the grapefruit being good for CM but never tried it as I hate the stuff. My friend who has PCOS swears by it too. Wine? hmmmm now you're talking :)

Have very strong cramps in the abdomen, gas and bloating, tired, tingly boobs and now nausea. AF due next week - 4dpo today (if I predicted it right) or I could be 7dpo - i have no sure way of knowing when I OVed this month. And I am def not OVing now as CM is wet but creamy.

My symptoms have gotten so strong today that I am getting tempted to buy some cheapie sticks. I want to avoid the temptation, but its so hard to not POAS!

LittleMissSnowShine · 16/05/2012 14:02

Amaya - Only chance i'm necking grapefruit juice is it's mixed with cranberry and a good glug of vodka is a Seabrreze cocktail Grin I am being v good at staying off the caffeine (my poor head!) and slurpy down my agnus castus drops of a morning tho

Ladies loving these sex gone wrong stories. I have many - flatmates, phone boxes, a plane, and a personal fav when me and my ex were at a friend of a friend's house when we were sort of 18ish and her parents were away for the weekend. Much drink was consumed (we're irish so you know....MUCH drink) and everyone headed out down to the pub. Except for me and bf cos we decided to stay, have a spliff and wait for everyone to come back. But after they left we got a bit frisky....clothes all over the house, en route to a bedroom, undies and everything. Thought we'd have loads of time before everyone came back. A friend had forgotten their ID though, so they all came back to get it after about half an hour and gathered up all our discarded clothes and left them nearly piled at the bedroom door. I can still hardly look at this girl 10 years later without cringing!!!!!

Me and DH have been a lot more sensible. Kinda. Hee!!

Ahhhh remember back when sex was sex and not ttc?????? CD5 over here, so might dip a toe in the waters tonight and DTD for non-conceptive purposes, just to make sure i remember how lol

winkle2 · 16/05/2012 14:29

I've been drinking grapefruit juice, haven't noticed an increase in cm.

wilderumpus · 16/05/2012 15:49

Hello Ladies, you all seem really lovely and fun, i wondered if I could join in?

I am in my first cycle after a mmc, so the WTF cycle. Am on CD 20 and normally have 32/33 day cycles and think I ov'ed yesterday... am guessing from fertility signs but who knows with this month! All subject to change. Had lovely non SWI sex at just the right time though - as it is our first month after mc we are not 'trying' hmm secretly hoping taking my eye off the ball will result in a BFP Not doing temps or anything as DS (2.5) keeps me up too much. Do pay avid attention to cervix and CM though!

Am taking pregnacare tabs and drinking too much coffee... will cut down to the required two cups of instant a day as of tomorrow, and will start exercising :)

Lovely to meet you all, great shagging stories Grin

ps red if you are only 7dpo you won't get a BFP for a few days yet! Totally understand your enthusiasm for testing though, I am an addict Grin

flower dinnae fret about the sex-fail, is really normal under the pressure to ttc!

can I add myself to the stats list or is that too presumptious?!

icequeenkate · 16/05/2012 16:33

Hey wilde - haven't I seen you somewhere before?!! Grin

Amaya - loving the sound of red wine to assist implantation. Must try it tonight... even tho I'm now about 9 DPO there must be a chance? I always knew red wine was good for you!

Sex stories had me sniggering out loud last night. DH wondered what was so amusing on my phone - didn't tell...shhhhh.

winkle2 · 16/05/2012 16:38

Welcome Wilde!! You should have some good sex stories with a name like that?!?!

QueenOfTheRodeo · 16/05/2012 16:38

Loving the shameful sex stories, maybe we should start a new thread especially and I may be tempted to add my own Grin

Welcome wilderumpus (great name!)
