Mid 30's TTC--Gin Palace Two: Spawn of the BESH

[SarahAbroad]

Hey all...

Hope this thread name is okay...just moved the Gin Palace around the corner before we ran out of space!

See you soon. The bar's open!

Congrats longwee - I did exactly the same thing, once I found out I spent days at my desk grinning like a loon and obsessively googling. n.b., as previously discussed - do not sign up to "what to expect" unless you want your eyes seared by cheery banners such as "High school senior's TTC"!

I am embarassed to admit I feel jealous of the newly diffed ladies.

donttry we were actually further north from Zeeland, we were in Friesland - home of cows and um, horses & shiz. Zeeland is lovely too though - Middleburg is a hidden portion of heaven.

Another week off work huzzah - pass me a gin ginhag.

PS Rant topic : Did anyone see the article in the papers yesterday about the dozy bint who aborted her 16 week foetus because her sister's kid had swine flu and she'd been in contact with it? Neither her, her baby, her husband or her two kids had swine flu.

Congratulations Up-diffed ladies!

Anybody else into 2nd week of driving yourself mental2WW?

well that didn't work!

Cheggers I may be Northern, but I am verh, verh middle-class, so can force myself to sound like Brideshead Revisited Goes To Sheffield (or similar) if needs be. The 'in-laws' are lovely, but TYF's Dad keeps obsessively asking that when we have a child, if it's a boy, we MUST call it John Joseph (he's become fixated for some reason). Seeing as I hate both names, was bullied by a boy called Johnny Josephs at school and won't be told what to do by any bugger, it gets v tiresome.

Extreme don't get me started on driving myself mad. Had gut rot in the night (so much for MIL's cooking then ) and half considered googling it on me moby, to see if it was a symptom! Loony...

ski GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Would it sound too Daily Heil to think 'some people don't bloody deserve a womb!'?

I WANT TO BE PREGNANT!

I DON'T WANT TO BE PREGNANT!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT!

Er...sorry.

BESH-Tourettes, there.

I'm a chicken.

VAG if you were a chicken at least you'd ovulate (visibly!) on a daily basis!

Beautifully expressed VAG.

Pmsl

VAG I had to carefully check to make sure I hadn't, unbeknown to myself, posted all that rant here myself! Beautifully expressed emotions... well done you!!!

Scorp I also woke in the middle of the night, needed a pee and then when I was dropping back off to sleep would have sworn I was experiencing "fluttering" in my stomach. Probably indegestion! Have spent all morning pinching my boobs to see if they hurt. They do now.. and may well have bruises...

Really wish I knew this month. Tomorrow is my birthday and I would love to indulge in a succession of lethal cocktails... I probably will, which will ensure that this month is not my month AGAIN. BAH!

I'm obsessing.

ski that would be brilliant! Visible ovulation is what we want! And a handy food source too in these crunchy times...

longwee Congratulations! Updiffed!

extreme Booze will make absolutely no difference to whether or not you're pregnant. So have a drink. Or not, it's entirely up to you.

Am emphatically not symptom-spotting this month (clearly lies, but I'll keep telling myself that anyway). Am instead going to France for two weeks on Saturday. That's got to be more fun than gusset-checking every two seconds.

VAG - amusing tourettes, well done you. Visible crunchy ovulation, however, is gross.

extreme: good work on the obsessional poking. I'll join you on that in a couple of weeks. I'm about to enter the GoF phase, the few weeks where traditionally I have gone right off sex... Tricksy libido.

Goodness it's birthday central here isn't it! Mine (BOD no less) next sunday. blokeys tomorrow as well. For a brief 5 days we are the same age! Happy birthday and a pint of gin to you for tomorrow extreme

I've just been pathetic.

Last nights "flutterings" sent me into complete obsession today. Also didn't want to spend the whole day tomorrow drinking my own body weight in alcohol if I was supposed to be becoming the cleanest living I have ever been since I was twelve. Also REALLY wanted my birthday present to be a baby, speshly as said baby would have been born on OH's birthday.

Bought a bloody first response. Needless to say I have POAFS and it was a BFFN. What a dickhead.

Triple gin and tonic for me please....

LALALALALA can't hear you re. too early to test, not first thing in the morning etc etc.

extreme That's horrid. It's in fact why I have given up early testing - it's twice the disappointment for twice the price. Do you know when your RTOD is due?

Tooo early to test! Also if I may say so, indulging in far too much alcohol is bound to ensure up-diffedness. And if not, well you'll have had a fine old time anyway.

Yeah.. end of the week. I'd given up on early testing too. I have a drawer full of BFN's upstairs from the early months of trying, but haven't tested now for about a year. Think I was just a bit desperate this month without admitting it to myself. What a loser. I really have had enough of all this. Best thing about it has been finding you lot.

Not a loser. This stupid baby-making lark makes madwomen obsessives out of all of us. I had to physically restrain myself from testing after my period this month (just in case it was an implantation bleed - wtf?). But cosmo is right - booze is a) a guaranteed way to induce guilt throughout the pregnancy, thus making sure that this is the month you get updiffed and b) fun.

UPDATE: Have poured myself a large rum and coke and had a fag. Have stopped being pathetic. Apologies for outbreak. Normal service has resumed.

extremesitting that's ma girl!
