Come on in, you raddled old caaaaahs, whotchoo waitin' for?

I've gone for a groovy 60s psychedelic theme, so get your fat upper arms comfy in the hanging globe chairs and hide your mememe shame in the glow of the lava lamps!

Russell Howard is our new bartender, although I don't think he's happy at the flares 'n' kipper tie outfit I've forced him to wear. And of course, Mitchell is in the pit, nervously awaiting his first guest.

Let's make this one diffalicious!

Um, I feel a bit bad as I'm a BESHie-come-lately and all but it would appear that I'm diffed. The CB digital told me it was true and everything. I know I've not posted much but I've lurked lots and think you're all swell [doffs cap imploringly]

gin hope your sisters BF is ok and your tooth gets better (or bearable) quickly

Scorps So not a Fred Killer - you keep the fred alive, baby! Good luck with dildocam

Scarecrow I'll miss you most of all!

Hope to see you all on the other side very soon x

Wow Carey. 2 posts and then an updiffment, that must be a record. Well, very best of luck to you, enjoy the PESH deli, I hear they're lovely. How long had you been trying?

Medee · 12/05/2010 22:04

Nooooooo!

Anyway.. headache good news for your BF, and fingers crossed in a Southwesterly direction.

So, TMI alert.

We SWI'ed last night. I just went to the loo and have proper stretchy EWCM - first time ever (fingers crossed to actually be ovulating)... so my question is this...

there is no way I can get MrM to do it again tonight, so will the sperm from last night be still around by the time the egg makes its appearance? I should persuade him for tomorrow night.

Muser · 12/05/2010 22:17

Sperm lasts a good few days Medee you ought to be fine.

I am producing bucket loads of EWCM. Bloody useless to me. Anyone want some? Sod sprinkling baby dust, EWCM water balloons anyone?

Medee · 12/05/2010 22:21

ta, muse.

careylouwho · 12/05/2010 22:23

Medee the swimmers should last a good few days, apparently they like to frollick in the egg-whity goodness.

Cass Thanks for good wishes. It's only been two months. I thought it'd be ages cuz I've been on birthcontrol since the mid 90's. Didn't think I was ovulating as I used OPKs but not managed to get one to turn either month so thought I was still adjusting - guess not.

Ocarina · 12/05/2010 22:23

Ooooh, presence of EWCM is v exciting! (I've never knowingly had any so am jealous, but v glad you do). I think sperm hang around for a few days so may well be there to do the deed, but SWI tomorrow sounds good if you can persuade him.

Congrats Carey, enjoy life in the deli.

Sending get well vibes to all who need them. Sounds like we need morphine drips rigged up round here as well as gin.

I'm at the spotting updiff symptoms when just past the end of droid and so clearly anything but stage. Why do I do this to myself? Been a weird couple of days - went to the worst funeral ever yesterday, not someone I knew well but it was taken by a spiritualist minister and she was awful (and not just because I disagree more than a little with her beliefs). So spent the rest of the day raging but having nowhere to direct the anger which didn't help. Menkulness appears to be part of life not just ttc!

Scorpette · 12/05/2010 22:24

Medeeval, yup, last night's jizz should be good to go - it lasts for a few days. And just cos you've got EWCM doesn't mean today is the day you OV. You could well Ov tomorrow or even in a few days, depending on how long it lasts for. I think if you did it last night and do it again tomorrow then you're in with a v good chance. After all, the Docs advise making a sexy every 2 days, so GOOD LUCK!

Well done CLW.

Occers, your day sounds like it's been a bag of arse. Would a quick grope behind the aspidistra help?

Medee · 12/05/2010 22:31

right, am off to bed to be horizontal and help the swimmers find their way up.

Casserole · 12/05/2010 22:31

If the sperm are so bloody long lasting then how fucking unfriendly ARE my eggs? Am put in mind of Monica from Friends when told her uterus is an "inhospitable environment" - "but I've always tried so hard to be a great hostess"!

Fuckingbastardingcuntybollocks.

Revising. Pain back. Though not as bad, before you all turn up at door with taxi. Oh God, actually please DO turn up at my door with taxi. Big fuck off one full of gin. Let's go get slaughtered.

Casserole · 12/05/2010 22:32

What lovely warm hands you've got.

Muser · 12/05/2010 23:14

I am v excited by meedledee's FFJ. I sense good things acoming.

Meanwhile, I have been out of the office all day and am bloody knackered. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.

ginhag · 13/05/2010 07:25

EWCM FFJ, or pantsnot if you wanna be all poetic laydees.

medeeeeeeeeeeeee I would give you lots of sage advice re the contents of your pants but think you've been reassured. Good idea to jump his bones again tonight tho.

I really doubt we're gonna be lucky this month,what with ov time coinciding with abscess agony n all. Dunno if I even ov'd. I said that as if I normally chart or summat and have some clue what is going on...I don't of course.

Thanks for wishes re sisboyf. Had scan,about a week til he hears. Horrible,just hope all is fine.

stewie I've lost track of how long you have been trying,I have a feeling I may have to give you a motivational kicking talk. Cos I'm so upbeat n that innit.

And congrats Carey they will be waiting with mouldy cheese and pate at the deli.

laurielou · 13/05/2010 08:12

Congrats carey enjoy the Deli.

Medee congrats on the pantsnot. . Pliz to still have more sexy time, to make you awash with swimmers & FFJ. I'd wear a swimsuit & arm bands if I were you.

muse I hear you with work. Sadly am already at my desk. Gearing myself up to do some work. The boyf came in late from football last night, & woke me chanting & waving a flag, as Cardiff City are through to the play off finals. Tis important apparently. He doesn't even drink, so can't blame that. He was too excited to sleep, therefore I'm also kept awake. It was so tense that some poor bloke in the stand behind him had an actual heart attack!! Thankfully last night was our night off sexy time. However back on duty this evening. All I want to do is curl up & sleep. S'pose I still can if he's gentle

Am going to a psychic fair tonight. My sis loves all that shiz & seeing as I had nothing planned suggested we go along. I may have fortune told to find out when I'll win.

cass I know what you mean re unfriendly ovaries. But I choose to blame the boyf's swimmers for being too lazy to get to the Holy Grail or getting lost & being too pig headed to ask for directions. I'm a friendly kinda gal & reckon my ovaries are warm & welcoming too. Can't possibly be my fault, can it?

Full on tongue snogs to gin - hope your sis-boyf is ok - & scorps the "fred-keep-aliver".

Balls, my work is starting to turn on the flashing neon lights to draw my attention so better do somamat.

Stay beautiful!!

Scorpette · 13/05/2010 09:04

LaurieMooreWinnerOfOrangePrizeForFiction, am I meant to be awake when letting TYF SWI me? Could this be where I've been going wrong? PS Fanks for fred reassurance

OP posts:
PerfectDromedary · 13/05/2010 09:32

Working. Honest.

Gin Hope sister's boyf is ok. A week is a very long time to wait for news.

Scorp Nah, being awake during SWI is hugely overrated. Plus, if you stay still for two weeks a bit after you shag then it's easier for everything to implant, right?

waves at all people. cass Tell us how the GP goes today, sick lady? and scorp what did they do for your pre-lap thingy? And is it on 18th, or have I made that up in my head?

Ariesgirl · 13/05/2010 09:39

Congrats FormerArchbishopofCanterbury (you get?). Hope you have a trouble-free and happy 9 months

Exciting news re stretchy pantsnot Meds!

Snogs and massages to chickenCasserole.

Today is a non-day. I am between end of droid and start of "fertile" period (ironic snort). How does one fill the days?

Scorpette · 13/05/2010 09:40

Lap is 24th, you crazy dreamer, Drom. Off to work now. MEH.

Ariesgirl · 13/05/2010 11:33

Do the Fertility Friend emails ever stop arriving? I've stopped clicking on them now, they're stressing me out so much.

PerfectDromedary · 13/05/2010 11:51

What, the "here is how to stick a thermometer in your mouth" emails? Yeah, they stop eventually.

Ocarina · 13/05/2010 14:19

Everyone's very quiet today, does this mean you're all being good and doing work?

I'm with you on the non-day bit Aries; to fill it I'm procrastinating and eating chocolate. We're off on holiday next Wednesday and I think I want to give up on everything work-related now in preparation. Sadly that's not an option.

I'm pondering whether to take thermometer and OPKs on holiday or whether to ditch it all for a month and hope for the best. I thought I'd convinced myself that was a good idea, but then realised if I leave all that stuff at home I'll be left with nothing that I can do to try and make it happen (other than SWI, obviously!). Not that the doing has helped thus far, but it seems to make me feel better somehow.

Cass is it today you were off to the GP? Did you get any sense out of them? Hope the back pain is retreating and the revision's going well.

Ariesgirl · 13/05/2010 15:18

Just shag I would Occy .

Where are you off?

Ocarina · 13/05/2010 16:31

We're going to the US, flying to somewhere in Colorado I've never heard of and driving from there to San Francisco. I don't think I'd realised quite how far it is until TH sent me a map with it all marked on this morning. But he thinks driving is relaxing, so it should be good fun
