The Elderberry Sausage Wangers (thread 5) and the hunt for immaculate conception - a frightfully good thread for the over-30s TTC their first baby.

[Bunnygirlie]

Our new home, hope we will all be very unhappy here and leave soon ;-)

Girls yesterday on cd16 ie the right time of the month, I had OV pain and EWCM!! And we had a lovely dtd sesh last night. V passionate . Then I had a dream I was pregnant. If I was less old and withered from ttc for too long I would say that this month is looking very promising!

oooh! fc twinkle!

Schuuuuuush!

Ooh twink that's fab!

Must have been something in the air last night, we had a sesh last night too! And on CD13 of my 29 day cycle which is the best we've managed in a long time

I've also had my tubes cleared this month, it's been 3 months since oh has cut back drinking (and it takes 3 months to make new sperm) and have just passed my probation at work so I'm a perm member of staff... Would be a perfect month to get pregnant!

I'm setting myself up for a massive fall hey?!

Twink that's brill news..I'm excited for you! Bunny, as a lurker I've been reading about your woes with sympathy and it's fab to hear you DTD last night. Hurrah for Mr. Rabbit! Was he chuffed to fuck?

Twink, were your tubes o.k?

In other news I have more than a sneaking suspicion my boyfriend is having a fag somewhere

Lordy, lots of catching up to do!
Hi Penny and Gilly

Err raining, cortisol and excess sugar, I haven't heard about that before (selective hearing) just had a quick Google and holy shit gosh. There I was congratulating myself for giving up alcohol and caffeine, might have to rethink a few things...

Good one, twinkle! I love a symbolic dream. All mine are really mundane.

Got fx for tomorrow's POAS-ers!

Is anyone watching Crufts? [sad bitch emoticon] There are dogs that can sniff out bladder cancer! [wonders where to pick up a pooch that can smell blastocytes]

blastocysts, even.

Fraid we're on The Cube here . Dull Saturday CD3 so I'm afraid I'm drinking in moderation. I told OH about how we've been killing sperm with lube all this time & he reacted like I'd been trying to poison him personally with arsenic! Told me to get to boots ASAP for the good stuff which I dutifully did & then flinched at the price of Conceive plus in there - he can bloody well wait for an amazon delivery! I'm dreading the time I have to tell suggest to him he's got to give up booze & occasional fag - difficult conversation when he already has successfully fathered one child!

Ps twink ooh all fingers & toes x for you!

Frog, same here: DP smokes and has a seven year-old. Now he knows I've got a blocked tube and it's likely we'll need IVF he is now unashamedly smoking

hahaha!
we use a lube called preconcieve, something recommended by people on my iP App. we were surprised the first time we used it, thinking it would be just like ky... it dripped off my hand onto the bed making a wet patch before we even got to dtd!

as for what I'm watching, it started off as Kevin mccloud making stuff out of dog poo and an old tractor but it's turned into tanning a deer hide. from the moment it dies. not pretty. should have watched crufts!

Keeping fingers crossed for you Twink (and me too)!

Thanksraining You lurker you! He was chuffed I think, we were both slightly tipsy though! I just hope this helps with his confidence, we shall see tomorrow when I try to jump his bones again!

We did that too frog tried for 3/4 months till I realised normal lube was bad!!!

I'm back from family night excitement! Can't remember who said what but I am looking forward to crufts watching on catchup.
Welcome to newbies! Be wary of the fury and sausages if you become an instadiffer but welcome anyway! And I'm open to symptom spotting of all kinds!
I had a I'm pregnant dream once and convinced myself I was pregnant. Clearly I was not

Raining - tubes came back all clear. It's def OH's morphology that's the issue. Hopefully the lifestyle changes he's made will take effect soon.

I'm at your OH's sneaky fag! I SO WANT TO SMOKE! But the clinic has told us no nhs-funded treatment for us if we smoke humph

Ooh can i start the next one when this fills up? (Stupidly excited) We're nearly there... Other than the comeback of the pavlova any other title requests??

I gave up smoking 5 months ago and I am still miserable about it

Started watching a shite film with Denzel in it. Have given up. Usually so good. I love the elderberry pavlova story! Think there needs to be mention of other running themes in the next title. We seem to discuss ewcm, Internet cheapies & cats a lot! The BESH thread titles make me chuckle too. But what is BESH?

Bitter evil selfish hags... It's a daily mail reference. I envisage I will be around on the TTC forums that long that the BESH will merge with the Berries and become a new and amazing acronym including sausages and Pavlovas. Some Berries are also BESH... Pretty much were all the same, wanting support, someone to listen and a laugh when it all goes wrong!

Ha! Love it. We could start a super thread of bitter evil elderberries.....

Or selfish Pavlovas

Referring back a little bit, but hooray - my deja vu / spidey senses were tingling correctly. Woohooooo! Now behave as Boodle has her happy bubble back and it shall not be popped!

Now, onto thread titles, I don't want to be too much like the BESH (no offence to BESHberries) as they have SOOO many in-jokes it's very difficult to understand what's going on! When I was lurking to find my 'niche', I just couldn't get my head around their thread at all! It's fast moving too - I like our (slightly slower) way of life!

I think we should become 'The Elderberry & Sausage Pavlovas' to get the pavlova back into the title!

I agree, boodle.
