Sonic, 'getting a grip' whilst trying to conceive is an oxymoron, surely. Am I right, Boodle, or am I misusing the word?

ILoveMyCats · 10/03/2013 20:42

Ah, yes. pip, queen shagger Grin

Boodle9 · 10/03/2013 20:43

Raining, I'm going to come round your house and steal your [ ] keys off your keyboard! Wink

Yeah...I don't actually read the lists too much, but I still like being on there! It's a shame there isn't an option to just have a post at the top where we can go in and edit our details as needed.

happylass · 10/03/2013 20:44

Shit, since Mother and instadiffer got their BFPs everyone else has been trying longer than me. I have nothing to complain about. Don't know how you long term TTCers manage it!

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:46

Happy, try shagging like rabbits for a year only to learn you've got one functioning fallopian tube and an endo-encrusted ovary (oh, and you're coming up for 42!) Sad

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:47

...actually, we only shag like 40-odd year-old rabbits where the male has ejaculatory issues Sad

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:48

I will shut up now.

ILoveMyCats · 10/03/2013 20:49

But, rabbits nonetheless Smile

Bunnygirlie · 10/03/2013 20:49

pip can have the queen shagger crown and I'll have the tiara for a good effort! lol

Do you think intermittent fasting is safe while ttc?

twinklestar2 · 10/03/2013 20:51

I'm in my 20th month of trying :(

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:53

Cats, I have been fasting one day a week for several weeks now and dropped a few pounds. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with food issues or body dysmorphia. I eat spectacularly well every other day and work out a lot. My problem is caffeine as I've become addicted to energy drinks during work-outs.

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:54

Twink, remind us what your plans are?

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:55

Cats, when I say 'fasting' I mean 600 cals (which covers muesli and nuts for breakfast and my homemade soup for tea). Absolutely nowt else.

ILoveMyCats · 10/03/2013 20:57

Yes, that's what I mean. Two days of 500 cals per week. I just need to give my body a rest from sugar!

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:58

I'm a bugger for sugar.

ILoveMyCats · 10/03/2013 20:58

I must say, this thread beats Facebook, hands down.

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:59

All my facebook 'friends' are boring as frig.

Itsalwaysraining · 10/03/2013 20:59

Right, I'm off to watch Dorian Gray (sounds like a Dulux shade for Prisoner Cell Block H).

ILoveMyCats · 10/03/2013 21:10

Enjoy. I'm watching Shetland

Bunnygirlie · 10/03/2013 21:14

I gave up Facebook for lent which probably explains why I'm on here so much lol. Can't believe we're on page 9 already, no wonder we aren't pg, we're too busy nattering on here!

Anyone still around?? Writing this as i read so not altogether caught up... And yes I am obsessed with the lists and hate them being out of order or old Angry

Penny ignore the oldtimers Wink we all get grumpy at new people full of hope. Yet we were all you at one point and secretly we all just come on here hoping to be the first one to leave Grin

sonics change doc, get an appointment quick before they get your notes, say you have been trying for 8 million years. If your temps are at the same time every day why are they open circles? Are you taking your temp before you wake up? (ie set your alarm for a time before you would naturally wake up every day and stick the thermomenter in your mouth before you basically breathe when the alarm goes off)

CatsCantFlyFast · 10/03/2013 21:30

Fuck me raining where did you find that?? Can it also adjust for a hangover me feeling ill on a morning??

Pipbin · 10/03/2013 21:30

I like the lists. I like to see where everyone is and if I am both the oldest and been trying the longest!
I can't believe the number of posts already. I'm thinking of heading off for the obligatory Sunday night bath now, but I fear that there might be ten pages by the time I get back!

I shall add myself to the new list in a second.

CatsCantFlyFast · 10/03/2013 21:31

Page 9 Bunny?? which thread are you reading?
