The 'rules'

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday. Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended)

Covet thy husband and enjoy every minute. Shag at ever opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Resist the lure of ovulation predictor kits, Taking Control of Your Fertility and the dreaded First Repsonse. Knowing where you are in your cycle is entirely permissible though!

Going to the doctor is permitted if you've had a stupidly long cycle but beware of the dildo-cam-scan.

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'.

Keep us up to date with gossip!

get a dating scan...then you have 3 lots of scan photos to work out what -the-- hell the random shapes are go gooey over

we had sushi for dinner so now officially not testing til next week so I can allay guilt if BFP. must add absolutely no signs of pregnancy, but then there weren't the first time either

PMSL at tracksuit bottoms being cut up - but you're right, does make them damn comfortable!

JustKeepSwimming · 19/07/2010 10:10

Cora - you must be further on than you think - have you tried one of those tests that say the weeks on?

Was your last period a 'real' one? I had period-type stuff at 4, 8 & 12 weeks with DS1 (all was fine btw, just my body trying to be regular for the first time ever!!).

More JSing here DH away for a few days but pretty sure I won't ov til he comes home, though i may have to play with my free ov sticks...

takethatlady · 19/07/2010 10:32

Was hoping to turn the double into a triple-dip shagfest last night but the jetlag finally caught up with DH, who took to talking total nonsense with his eyes closed but remaining adamant he was awake

I'll shag the socks off him later.

Yep, corabear, I also reckon you're further along than you think! Still so jealous of your babytash. That is exactly the look I'm going for this summer (ripped-up trackies and all!)

I thought my vag sneezed the stretchy stuff last week. But it was white, not clear, so I've still got hope the shagging is going to do the trick. If not, it's nice to have a man around to shag again! I knew I got married for something!

williamsmummy1986 · 19/07/2010 10:57

Hi girls, having a very bad morning but you ladies have given me a giggle :-D Due on tomorrow so if it doesn't arrive I can Pee on a stick :-D yey I like peeing on sticks lol. No indication that I'm pregnant but then I had no indication last time around either so....who knows. See what tomorrow brings! Cora CONGRATULATIONS!! :D

vallinnapod · 19/07/2010 11:52

Howdy ladies.

Hope you all had good w/es. Mine started off disasterously (is that a word?!) as completely stacked it running on Friday morning. Fell over my own feet, into the road, mangling my knee, pride and hip. It was rush hour and NO ONE helped me up! So I got home a had a good cry. Poor DH, I am getting over a cold too so he was suited for work and had this sweaty, snotty, dirt covered wife hyperventilating on the door step!

Brassica I LOVE that programme - most of the time I am amazed at how mature and grown-up the girls are (especially for whispers Americans )

Uber, uber congrats cora!

BrassicaBabe · 19/07/2010 13:19

Wow, congratulations cora

Poor Vallinna. The gits for not stopping to help you up!

Sorry you are having a bad morning wiliamsmummy Fingers crossed for you.

CD13 in the Brassica House (BB stylee) and no pant snot appearance yet. (No on opk yet either shh) I've had the appointment made since June when I was getting mid-cycle bleeding which I've been putting back. If no Ov this month then I'm going to keep the appt I've got on 11th August.

for takethat shagging DH's socks off!

BrassicaBabe · 19/07/2010 14:05

I take that back - I have a grining OPK

Hehe working from home this week so actually have some energy!

Off to dust off shag cape...

takethatlady · 19/07/2010 16:52

Get that shag cape gleaming brassica! DH doesn't actually wear socks in bed, I should point out! That would be a passion killer (I'm sure there was an episode in Friends about this).

vallinna, that sounds like a gorgeous shag-me look: snot, dirt, hyperventilation, shame. I'm surprised he didn't knock you up right there and then

Sorry you're having a bad day williamsmummy. Is it just PMT? Or maybe you've sprouted facial hair? [gets excited for the possibility of a + for williamsmummy tomorrow]

BrassicaBabe · 19/07/2010 17:01

OOooh, good poing takethat, what time will you test williamsmummy? We like to live vicariosly on this thread Esp when it comes to peeing on expensive bits of plastic!

BrassicaBabe · 19/07/2010 17:01

point! Not poing!

williamsmummy1986 · 19/07/2010 18:04

BrassicaBabe expensive bits of plastic? Moi? NEVER! (ok maybe a little!) I have pregnancy tests courtesy of the pound shop - is it wrong to be addicted to the pound shop?? I might be good and hold off for 3 more days. I used to be a 28 day kinda gal but the last 3 months have been 25. I want to give it to 28 days just in case it has decided to return to it's original pattern! So I think I will test Friday morning!

takethatlady my bad morning is not PMT for one ;-) nor have I sprouted facial hair a la a werewolf either sighs my bad morning is caused by my ex employers refusing to hand over my last pay cheque and then having the cheek to call me a bad person and say I make them sick - because I (shock!! horror!!) asked for my money. Oh dear - can you tell I'm angry!

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 19/07/2010 22:10

mum looking over my shoulder....in essence of JS nobody knows we're not being careful so being quick

no need to test here, AF arrived this morning though minus the horrid week long depression beforehand so not all bad (and a few days break from JS, actually quite welcome)

takethatlady · 19/07/2010 22:11

williamsmummy grrrrrrrrrr for your employers . You should turn up in your shag cape, chuck a pint of pant snot over your boss, and pee all over anyone who has got on your nerves since you've been there (you should have a good aim by now). That should make them sick.

Seriously though, I hope you get it sorted. That sounds really terrible. At least you're out of there before you have to go on maternity leave...

JustKeepSwimming · 20/07/2010 09:06

Williamsmummy - that's terrible, i hope you get them sorted out soon.

GWTMH - have a good few days off with wine

CD14 for me, normally OV about 18 so may start playing with OV sticks today

BrassicaBabe · 20/07/2010 09:16

Williamsmummy it's ridiculous that employers still get away with this kind of crap! Hope it's sorted soon. Although I think arrest might follow if you go with takethat's suggestions!

Justkeepswimming I'm on CD14 too! I'm due on about Thursday 5th Aug. Are we able to be test buddies? Where's frak? I'm begninning to think that OPKs are evil. 830 yesterday -ve, 1pm yesterday +ve, 8pm yesterday -ve. This morning -ve. And this are fecking expensive peesticks! But I can't stop! I'm a control freak and peeing on sticks makes me feel better! So there!

JustKeepSwimming · 20/07/2010 09:30

PMSL Brassica

Well my OV sticks were thrown in free (or by mistake?) when i ordered 100 25 pg tests online so i don't mind wasting them.
Yours sounds possible though, isn't the LH surge quite short? the paperwork with the OV tests says even drinking too much fluid can dilute the LH to give a negative too, oh and that the body 'absorbs' LH overnight so not to expect a +ve in the morning anyway.

Hope you got some JSing in yesterday/the day before then?

BrassicaBabe · 20/07/2010 10:22

Hubby is a farmer. (Am I allowed to admit that kind of stuff here? Well, it's not like he's the only one in the country so I guess it doesn't narrow things down too much) Anyway JSing at this time of year is less frequent shall we say than in the winter That's not to say we don't manage it, but it's a feast or a drought! But to his credit, we've had a good go for the last 2 evenings. I don't fancy my chances tonight though [humph]

And I don't know the difference between pant snot and (cough) "left overs"

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 20/07/2010 10:36

Brassica don't know if I should laugh of cringe

JustKeepSwimming · 20/07/2010 11:16

Laughing is best i feel

Oh and I normally have quite long cycles, about 35 days, not worked out when i should be due yet, about Aug 10th so will be a bit behind you.

takethatlady · 20/07/2010 15:44

brassica me too! It's so confusing for a girl!

My DH is still bloody jet-lagged. He slept from 4pm until 8am this morning. But he's only got one more day at work until the summer holidays, and I've been kicked out of my office while they do a refurb so I'm at home all day too. And it's our wedding anniversary on Friday. I'm gonna get if I don't get at least 5 shags in by Sunday!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 20/07/2010 17:54

5 shags by Sunday! I'm one very jealous biscuitless girl here! The way I'm going I'll be lucky to get 1 shag this week (grumbles, stupid DH and his stupid 3 day headache)

It's not helped that I have to get my Fanjo out for another episode of lets abuse poor NoMore's Fanjo only to be told I need another ruddy appointment. Hmm, turns out I'm not feeling to good about my 3rd IUD removal attempt. Back to shoe gazing instead

BrassicaBabe · 20/07/2010 18:45

I'll be impressed and rather if you get 5 shags by Sunday takethat. I'll also want the name of the proprietor of your miracle shag cape

Pray for rain girls if I'm to get a shag tonight If the good weather continues, there's no chance!!

Sorry about the 3rd removal attempt nomore. No experience of IUDs, sounds grotty though!

ViveLaFrak · 20/07/2010 18:47

Jeez what did I miss?! Put down the blimmin? OPKs ? I just told someone we were nice and didn?t use acronyms/get technical here. They don?t make any sense, they?re randomised expensive bits of plastic designed to give you the illusion of control. Stop wasting your time and energy obsessing about them and go obsess about your husband!

Congrats Cora! Maybe you?re further on that you think you are, maybe it?s twins! Either way update us

GWTMH ? bring on next month, eh?

NMCB ? your poor fanjo. 3 appointments sounds a tad excessive. Is your body not being co-operative or are they doing that irritating doctor thing of passing you from pillar to post?

Williamsmummy you totally don?t need that stress and they sound like horrible, horrible people! Whilst takethat?s suggestion is quite tempting you might have to go for the more restrained recorded delivery letter + legal threats approach if they won?t cough up.

takethat hope your DH recovers from jet-lag soon

brassica .... TMI!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 20/07/2010 21:30

NMCB dances happily into the room, ducks any flying kippers (I don't even know what OPK means!) and cracks open booze for all.

Whoop Whoop Whoop! I have my shag cape AT LAST!!! Fanjo the magnificent Finally gave up the goods and I am now officially TTC.

Now the dilemma is do I take my pant snot and jump DH and try for immediate knockupage or, just take it easy this month so I can be absolutely sure of a big bottle of birthday wine, right before next months knockupage window. Hmm, desicions desicions.

takethatlady · 20/07/2010 21:56

nomorechoc I suspect you are drunk and I am too One shag down four to go!
