Can I have a rant?

Pipbin · 12/03/2013 21:12

I'm not on commission, I'm just new to them and I get excited. Also, free cake.

Evening Berries! My gosh, you're chatty this evening. I've spent ages just catching up from last night. I will probably be laying low(ish) over the next few days, waiting for AF to kick in and leave me feeling like death. I will of course be watching the FF chart analysis stand-off with interest! Raining vs Merkin, who shall prove victorious?!

In the meantime, I should probably do the massive pile of marking I brought home and have thus far ignored. I hate teaching.

So...it would be very unusual for you to ovulate on CD16?

Boodle9 · 12/03/2013 21:16

Oh, and on the PIMP/ PIAP and POAS/POMS debate, I think it's OK to say POAS but PIMP. A stick isn't really 'yours' is it? You get through so many of them, it's hard to form a strong attachment.

Now, my pot, on the other hand, is definitely precious to me. So many, many, many, many months of peeing into it; we have formed a special and wonderful friendship, we have.

cats no need to ask for permission! Rant away!

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:18

Yes, Cats; rant away.

[waves at Boodle] Are you feeling very shit, chuck?

CatsCantFlyFast · 12/03/2013 21:18

Hi boodle. AF to start or kick in? (One is full of promise and one is full of doom)! I am very attached to my pot also!

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:20

I am having a scream over here

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:21

...and here

Boodle9 · 12/03/2013 21:22

Not bad yet, thanks, Raining, but I know it's on its way; probably sometime tomorrow. Will do my usual and keep chowing down the painkillers until it passes.
I am going to try some without ibuprofen this month as I have read bad things about ibuprofen whilst TTC. Probably just another pointless and unnecessary measure, but it gives me something to do whilst waiting for my golden ticket to the FS.

Thunderbuns · 12/03/2013 21:23

Fair enough boodle or should I address you and your pot together? Perhaps it is with you on the sofa? Wink

Ok poas and pimp and not admitting to pmimpbsabomh of course.

Rant away cats, hello btw x

ILoveMyCats · 12/03/2013 21:29

wrote a huge long post whinging about DH, felt better to get it out. then felt disloyal, so have deleted it. whimp!

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:30

Boodle, when the time comes for you to go for your appointment I'll be more than willing to help you compile a list of demands questions to ask of your consultant. Alternatively, I can simply keep my nose out Wink

CatsCantFlyFast · 12/03/2013 21:30

Oh cats you are denying us! I love a good moan as then I can join in! raining you may not know but the women on AIBU are a mad scary bunch and I would stay well away unless you want to feel their wrath.

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:31

Oh, Cats! Loyalty schmoyalty

Boodle9 · 12/03/2013 21:32

I'm overusing the whole < > thing tonight but I'm going for it one more time!

Now you behave over on those there threads! We don't want to lose you from Elderberries, lest we descend into obscenely early symptom spotting and liberal "you know what" sprinkling. (I can't bring myself to even type the B D words.)

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:32

I have been playing nicely though!

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:33

Yes, Mum!

Bunnygirlie · 12/03/2013 21:35

Rant rant rant!!!!! cats

Boodle9 · 12/03/2013 21:36

Oh no! I've foiled myself there!I very much would like your nose IN when it comes to preparing for the consultant, but now that I've smacked it, you may not be so happy to oblige! Sorry Raining's nose!

Thunder - I luffs my pot. My pot is so shiny and wonderful and probably smells faintly of urine. I should name change to Boodleandherpotofwonderfulness

ILoveMyCats · 12/03/2013 21:36

well, in short I'm fed up of being the only one who takes responsibility for ttc, or even t not tc, as we were once.

Bunnygirlie · 12/03/2013 21:36

Yes raining behave!!! boodle did you smack her with a sausage?!?

OP posts:
CatsCantFlyFast · 12/03/2013 21:38

boodle do that name change immediately!
cats my DH is desperate for a baby yet I have to force him into DTD at the right time and he repeatedly tells me not to worry and it will happen and relax. ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

Itsalwaysraining · 12/03/2013 21:40

Cats, our men will never be as vigilant/excited/depressed/anxious/eager/anal as we are concerning TTC. How would you like him to change, in this respect (we will tell you if you are being unreasonable)?
