Welcome everyone from the old 'Mid 30s and TTC for the first time' thread. And welcome newbies too. Don't mind the poster in the corner dipping pregnancy test sticks into her glass of gin.

Wayne and Waynetta called their girls 'Frogmella' and 'Spudulikea' (spud-YOU-licker)

Two of my favourites.

DP is a Star Wars gimp fan & wants to name our son Chewbacca.

VeryAnnieGertie · 16/07/2009 10:48

I heart Spudulika - it's exotic.

Cosmosis · 16/07/2009 11:48

I am back. I didn't get a single lecture in Doing It Right, I was most disappointed

Actually, she was a lovely doctor. I was kind of worried she would laugh at me for being silly and that 3 periods in 7 months was totally normal & bog off. But she didn't. Had an internal, with swabs done (lovely) and blood tests and am being sent an appointment for a scan.

VeryAnnieGertie · 16/07/2009 12:26

Ah Cosmo glad it went ok.

donttrythisathome · 16/07/2009 12:56

Cosmo mmmm swabs - my fave. The scan sounds good - all I got when I went were bloods and a cute little wankpot for DP.

Laurie i'd say tis the drinking and fecking is turning your temps haywire. Naw, haven't a clue and have given my SIL my TCC "bible" - the docs will be able to tell from the bloods whether you're oving.

And oi scorpette - i see they didn't warn you i am the resident hysterical psycho. What d'ya fancy rucking about today?

donttrythisathome · 16/07/2009 13:16

Anyone seen wildfig?

VeryAnnieGertie · 16/07/2009 13:45

Isn't she drinking cider in Wales?

laurielou · 16/07/2009 13:46

No, that's me!!

VeryAnnieGertie · 16/07/2009 13:58

boo - sorry Laurie, have an appalling memory and too lazy to scroll back to fact check. Prob best to disbelieve anythign I say (unless I'm supporting your argument/suggesting more gin)

idealcamel · 16/07/2009 15:23

Newbies! Late night parties! Arguing! Excellent stuff, people.

We've just had a lovely "celebration" at work, so I am awash with cheap cava and chocolate cake. Real life is ok sometimes.

"Lifting the tent flap"? I've never heard it called that before, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, saynomoarsaynomoar...

Cosmosis · 16/07/2009 15:30

Hmmm liftin the tent flap sounds a bit Brokeback Mountain to me

idealcamel · 16/07/2009 16:51

No, no cosmo. In the right hole, remember.

VeryAnnieGertie · 16/07/2009 16:58

So rude!

skihorse · 16/07/2009 18:01

haha camel I was thinking the same myself. No wonder cosmo is un-diffed, ur doing it rong! lolz

Scorpette · 16/07/2009 18:48

donttrythisathome - I knew there'd be one... my Nutter Magnet never usually fails me But rucking will have to wait, cos am in agony today. AF knows I want rid of her for 9 months and is being a real fucking bitch about it. Owwwww!

skihorse · 16/07/2009 19:49

evening ladies, well I think I'm diffed-up. Can't remember if I told you or not but last month I was so bloated I bust the zip on some jeans. Today I look about 6 months pg which is just making me feel like a fucking whale. OH has been lovely and sticking his belly out to compare. I'm feeling "tired & emotional" - should I have another G&T?

Aerie · 16/07/2009 19:54

Now that reminds me of when we were visiting the in laws for a week (we live a loooooong way away from them) a couple of years ago.

They have, for what seems like an eternity, always been going on about grandchildren and making insinuations about how we must be career obsessed etc (actually my MIL is usually lovely, but that was the only time I've ever seen DH lose his rag with her )

Anyway, , after a week of ignoring oh-so-subtle hints about their lack of grandchildren, my FIL asked over Sunday lunch "so when ARE you going to have children then?" to which I replied "when we find the right hole I guess"

They were very but I think they got the message. It still makes me and DH laugh when we think about it

Scorpette · 16/07/2009 19:58

Oh, this is magic - there's an AIBU thread about swine flu: apparently the government are warning women not to get pg whilst the pandemic is active! Well, that's great for us lot - why don't we all wait another year or 18 months till it's all over?! Because we've got all the time in the world to wait TTC, right?

(I said as much on the thread)

Aerie · 16/07/2009 19:58

Oooooooh, skihorse, sounds very very exciting you are our beacon of hope.

How about an "essence" of G+T to celebrate (can't remember whose invention that was)???

When is it time to POAS?

Aerie · 16/07/2009 20:00

Aaaah Scorpette, well it serves us all right for being such selfish old hags to not foresee such an eventuality.

skihorse · 16/07/2009 20:01

Oh I've already had a REAL G&T Aerie... but I don't actually fancy another... POAS Tuesday, I'm not actually allowed to POAS because I fuck it up. I have to hand a cup of hot wee to OH.

Schwein flu eh? We're not having it over here - I'm not sure our government is as desperate to cover up their incompetence by getting over-excited about the flu.

Resist the urge to conceive eh? Bus-riding teenagers everywhere hear them roar.

SkaterGrrrrl · 16/07/2009 20:38

Glad your appointment went well Cosmo! Laurie I don't know anything about temping I'm afraid - I've been peeing on things to find out my 2 days.... unsuccessfully. Used 7 sticks with expensive testing kit, no joy and then ran out of sticks. I've bought a pack of cheaper testing things from Amazon, way cheaper than ClearBlue, and will be peeing on them when I get back from this festival.

Arie that is hilarious, well done. No one else's business when you TTC (apart from ours, tell us eeeeverything).

Scorpette I think we can make room for another foul-mouthed, misanthropic battleaxe. Especially one who bakes.

And skihorse: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
