We're due to start this cycle's shagathon tomorrow, but not sure if we will as dh's mates are coming down to network the house...
Cheers ladies! [drinking nice shandy]

UmBongo · 27/05/2010 22:34

Good luck for the shagathon Tequila - could be interesting tho with dh's mates there too!!! Maybe if they all join in you are bound to win a baybee! Dazza and Bazza will get jealous though!

Well, I can officially confirm that shagging is one of the causes of baybees. I did another test, and didn't get involved in my book this time, (sorry to those who got pissed off with me the other day for being so crap!) so looked at it all through the allotted time and ......... 2 lines. One fainter than the other, but definately there! Still don't believe it, but am on deh 38 in the Um Bongo house, and no sign of rtd, and boobs slightly sore if I think about it, but no other symptom, apart from a probably imaginary hunger! (come to think - I think I am always like that which is why I haven't lost my 2 st baby weight from ds who is now 3!)

When I have a scan in a few months time I may actually believe it!

Please can I hang aroung for a bit?

Icedlemonmuffin · 27/05/2010 22:44

Congrats UmBongo and please stay, you can be the preggers girl who still drinks and wears really short skirts!

Plus I have a confession to make and I hope you all forgive me

I got two lines last week but even after four tests I am too scared to believe it and I keep thinking rtd will turn up any minute! Phew I said it .

Wishing you a very boring 8 mths.

Loujalou · 28/05/2010 06:03

Ohmygod sex does work congratulations to the two of you. lemon you are a sly one though after what you went through I can understand the hesitancy if that's the word. Please stay both of you. Am sure no one on the antenatal boards will bedrinking hooch and appearing in Jeremy Kyle.

Ps it almost brought a tear to my eye. Either that or its too early.

(Passes round the wkd)

Icedlemonmuffin · 28/05/2010 07:05

Thanks Lia and Lou I am in complete denial about the whole thing and when dh says the p word I ignore him. It's just two lines at the min, denial is the only way to stop me completely freaking out!

Dh did comment that I will need sedating for the scan if I carry on like this!

I'm not going anywhere other threads are too mushy for me and I'm not p just two lines so pass the hooch quick !

Forgot to say UmBongo I've still not lost the baby wait from seven years ago lol

Loujalou · 28/05/2010 08:06

Well if enough of us get duffed we could set up an ante-natal thread. But then again our natural home is probably here.....

Anyway day 25 in the Louja house and no sign of anything. Pregnancy or RTD. Poked my boobs and nothing. Still early days. Its good though as when I started on this TTC my periods were every 25/26 days with spotting even earlier so no wonder a baby didn't want to stick around. Anyway tomorrow I will probably be in the pit as that is when I usually get the first bit of spotting.

Loujalou · 28/05/2010 08:16

Anyways TheLemonone this fainting business was that related to the mini-muffin growing in your tummy?

AlsoEmptyshell did like your analogy. We have a bit of a problem as TH has tight foreskin and he only really enjoys sex with a condom. The joys of it all....

Icedlemonmuffin · 28/05/2010 08:38

Fingers crossed for you Lou a hat trick would be nice.

As for mad fainting fit that was on cd15 and got two lines on cd24, after gp said I was normal and he didn't do preg or hormone test, so not sure if it was related. It was dhs idea to do test and I told him it would be a waste of time but after massive sobbing session because he left his cup on the side I did it and there was two lines!

This is our home and I like it here

Mini muffin that is such a cute name.

Loujalou · 28/05/2010 08:45

Bet than mini-Jeffrey. Though if its a boy you could call him that.

Argh I should be working....

Fairygodmother1 · 28/05/2010 21:14

OMG!!! Congrats to you & I've gotta say if you two are the ones that drink while preg in the short white skirts, I'm gonna be the one who doesn't have kids. We've been turned down for IVF because according to them I have a BMI of 34 (I made it 32) but I have to be 29 before they see me. The problem is with my PCOS I find it majorly difficult to lose wight! I'm so nngry & upset!!!!

But am so pleased for you!

UmBongo · 28/05/2010 21:14

Wow Lemon Huge congratulations on your two lines! I agree with you, after all this time I can't believe its a p yet, I like your idea of 2 lines!

Come on Lou all the more the merrier - and Tequila, hows the shagathon going?

I like the concept of a mini muffin - it will go with my muffin top! (Hopefully to grow into a huge pumpkin top!) Ds got known as mini bean.

Thanks for letting me hang around - I feel at home in the park.

UmBongo · 28/05/2010 21:19

Cross posts - Oh FairyG I'm so sorry to hear that news, hug on its way, and hooch. All you have to do is grow a few inches (up not out) and then your bmi will be ok!

Garfield once he say - I'm not overweight I am undertall.

(Sorry to be flippant - its how I cope with real life when it intrudes into my life!)

Loujalou · 28/05/2010 21:37

Fairy that is really really crap. Do you think a stretching machine might work? Is there something they can put you on for PCOS metaformin or am I being crap now?

(Passes over extra-strength but low cal white lightening).

Am convinced I am not pregnant this month. Usually I have some fake symptoms but nada this month....

liahgen66 · 28/05/2010 21:41

fairy that's shit, do you wanna do a virtual diet club? I seriously need to lose 2 and half stone.

lou you are so preggers. Here's a whiote lightening.

bongo and muffin bring on the nausea

Icedlemonmuffin · 28/05/2010 22:04

Fairy that is toally crap this bmi stuff is total rubbish

I do feel slightly sick and can't face chocolate of any kind, which is a bit crap, as I love choccie.

Welcome emptyshell sorry about your MC. TTC realy is crap.

Lia i had a look on you tube, your daughter has a lovely voice and didn't look nervous at all, i would have been!

Congrats to Umbongo and iced, that is amazing, it really can happen, i'm on cd28 would be nice to join you and win a baby this month, i doubt i'm that lucky.

Fairy there are plenty of people with higher bmi's that still get pregnant, i'm sure you will be one of them, can the doctor not give you something to help?

Loujalou · 29/05/2010 15:55

Lady nice to see you. Am on day 26 and looks like the RTD is coming very soon. Not too upset this month. Maybe as TH has upcoming SA this week. Although the second one is shitty timing as its on day 15 the day after I apparently ovulate and we have to abstain. Though we are both off work for the week before so maybe we could get a sneaky few shags before then!

News alert. Had sex this morning and it was actually fun. Managed 5 shags this months so am quite happy with that. Last month I apparently managed 6. Not the 3 times a week the acupuncturist recommended but if you take a week off for RTD its nearly twice week.

Anyways I am the archetypal 28 dayer who ovulates on day 14 and still not pregnant. But this is only my 3rd cycle of 28 days since the monkey was born. So maybe it will happen in time.

Lia looks like the typical pre-spotting spotting has started but am tempted to POAS. Should I or will I just cry when there is no line?? Ok answered my own question there. Thanks for having faith in me getting pregnant though. It will happen one day. Even if I have to pay lots of money to some nice consultant, it'll be worth it.

Fairy and Lia fancy starting our own weight loss group. I could do with losing a stone.

UmBongo · 29/05/2010 17:18

Gobsmacked Lou sex, morning, fun????? Words I bet you didn't think you would be putting in the same sentence! Am hugely impressed with 11 shags over 2 months, not sure how many months it would take us to get to 11, but I suspect at least 3 possibly 4!

Sorry for your pre-spotting spotting - it all sounds very complicated! Don't POAS, it will only make your eyes red and puffy.

Thank you everyone for the congratulations, I am hoping to be living proof that 2 years of ttc can still end in a baybee. (but still don't beleive it) Roll on 12 week scan so I may believe.

liahgen66 · 29/05/2010 18:14

lou that's shit, hope it's just your little body playing tricks on you. Have you got a teeny little test sitting quietly in the cupboard?

So who's joining our weightloss group then? Shall i start a fred?

Loujalou · 29/05/2010 18:21

Lia you can start the fred.

Pre spotting spotting is the slight red tinged cm the day before the proper spotting. So there you are. It's the sort of thing you wouldn't notice if you weren't rummaging. Nice. Oh well.

liahgen66 · 29/05/2010 18:29

fred

Bugger lou here's to skiiner us and babies.

liahgen66 · 29/05/2010 18:29

Loujalou · 29/05/2010 18:47
