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!

Well I'm nauseous and have been all week but only CD 22 and possibly only OVd last night given my average cycle length

If I fall this month baby had better be bang on due date as this month is the last possible month if I want DH around for the birth! As it is he'd be headed out for 4 months when baby would be 2 weeks old (no, not counting...).

baby2b · 25/07/2010 19:36

I have had a bit of a hectic day. Sent DH to boots at 11am to buy better pregnancy tests as I was still in denial. All showed positive. Still have cramping and spotting though and I'm only on cd18 out of my usual 28. Not sure how I got a positive so early .

Spoke to my friend who works in gynae and she basically advised me to wait until AF is due and keep my fingers crossed.

Hope everyone isn't too hungover today and got in plenty of jsing Good luck for tonight justswimming x

p.s. I can't slap you Nomore as I just ate ten chocolate fingers with one cup of tea, lol.

JustKeepSwimming · 25/07/2010 20:14

Me neither NoMore - i've been pigging out on peanuts & Kettle chips

Frak - is DH forces? good luck to you

B2B - could your last AF not have been a real one?

DH chilling some sparkling cava in the freezer so think my luck may be in for later

baby2b · 25/07/2010 20:25

My AF was only 4 days rather than the normal 7, but really heavy . Have basically given myself a good talking to and calmed down now. I just need to be patient..eek!

Enjoy the Cava Justkeep and I will keep my fingers crossed for you Vive xx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 25/07/2010 21:36

Glad I'm not the only one pigging out to day. I'm figuring my insatable appitite means I'm not pg ( and phew). Part of my regular cycle is a day or so of eating everything in sight and never feeling full. So no need for that kipper after all!

Have a good night all (). Fingers crossed all little ones stay in their own beds (yes DS I'm talking to you!)

BrassicaBabe · 26/07/2010 09:04

Welcome Cuppa

I know what you mean NMCB 2 days before AF I can eat loaves of bread like it's going out of fashion. I can managed 2 slices of bread while I'm waiting for 2 slices to toast!

Fingers crossed for Congratulations b2b

First crappy meetin of the day beckons for me.....

Laters

takethatlady · 26/07/2010 14:07

hello all [crawls out sheepishly from under the two-day hangover rock and begins to wonder if she should just set up home right next to it].

b2b stop denying it! You are pregnant! Yippee for you

Spent the weekend being told by my mental uncle how he isn't moving his child from school from hell (16% GCSE pass rate) because at lunchtimes all the children throw money into the middle of the playground and then kick, punch and fight each other until someone wins it. Luckily my 13-year-old cousin is very small for his age, and usefully dishonest, so he usually manages to sneak through the cracks of fighting teenagers, steal the money, and pretend he wasn't there

My other cousin is 22 and pregnant with DC1, and has been caught on numerous occasions drunk on bottles of wine and shots [no comment]. Everybody just sighed and said 'what a character!'

All of this has made me want to get pregnant even more, so I can -fuck it up my own way- do a proper job!

DH is shagtastic at the moment. I have no idea where I am in my cycle, so just shagging on through!

takethatlady · 26/07/2010 14:08

I meant fuck it up my own way

Can't do double hyphens with a hangover. [Need a vomit emoticon]

takethatlady · 26/07/2010 14:09

What the ...?

That was my second and my third attempt at a bleedin' strikethrough. I can't do them! I am mentally deficient.

ViveLaFrak · 26/07/2010 14:41

Block ones don't work - you have to strike through each word.

like this

gormers · 26/07/2010 16:15

Never tried it myself. seems like too much hard work!

I too had a lovely drunken weekend. And a confession....

Pee'd on a opk last week and this weekend!!!! Sorry all, but was looking for a bit of reassurance. I don't seem to have any outward signs of ovulating like you ladies do, and so was beginning to worry that I wasn't. Anyway, I have officially had an LH surge now, and shagged my way through it!! The surge happened 1 day before I thought it should, so reassuringly I've been js around the right ball park!! And am now happy enough to put them away, not buy any others, and think of somehong else to waste £20 on next month!!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 26/07/2010 16:52

PMSL at the vomit emoticon. Can picture it far to well.

Gormers £20 suggestions: booze? clean new bedding? sticks ready for peeing on?

JustKeepSwimming · 26/07/2010 17:52

Well no luck last night and DH away tonight, so the window has passed, will have to keep up enthusiasm for JSing to stay in practice though, lol.

And now the fun starts...no symptoms yet, lol

BrassicaBabe · 26/07/2010 21:12

Hehe at takethat fucking it up her own way and having trouble with the strike through. It's enough to give you RSI!

Group hug for gormers. Ah OPKs. I peed on about 18 this month! Bought a pack of 20 digital ones from ebay. You've got to do a lot of POASs and very little drinking to catch anything. This 48 hour surge they talk of is elusive!!

It seems we've got unexpected guests coming tomorrow. So I've tried to get ahead of myself by cooking tonight. Does anyone know if there will be advserse affects if I cook a pavlova and chicken casserole in the oven at the same time?! Chicken flavour meringue anyone?!

Been in a bad mood all day today. PMT at CD20 anyone? Surely not.

takethatlady · 27/07/2010 12:34

Thanks ladies for your help with hyphenation! gormers I don't pee on OPKs but I have been doing my temps this month (though I have lost the chart I was recording it all on). I don't have a clue what's going on. 28 days since last period today, and I had what I thought were on their way to becoming 'outward' signs of OV a couple of weeks ago, but didn't actually get there. Now no outward signs. Temps also went up for 3 days about 10 days ago, but are now lower than there is room to put them on the chart and have been for ages. Gawd knows what that means. Except I have a cold, damp body. Perhaps I have been slapped by frak's kipper too many times.

brassica chicken-flavoured meringue sounds very Heston Blumenthal. Try a beef trifle next time - mmmm mmmm.

I promised you ladies I'd get 5 shags between Weds and Sunday last week. I made it to four . Hubby on hols and me working from home is a good way to keep JSing!

vallinnapod · 27/07/2010 13:52

Howdy ladies,

I've resorted to lurking as due to work (DH) and social commitments (Both but inevitably separately) I have not had sex for just over two weeks...I'm 99% sure it mans I can claim my virginity back and 100% sure it means I get a kick up the arse off this thread.

To top it all DH has now mentioned he is probably travelling for work the week after we get given Clomid...the important week! He then had the cheek to tell me that if I talked about sex in the functional way it made it seem like a chore...[evil deathdoom emoticon for DH] I do of course completely understand this but I think the biology retarded idiot DH needs to realise if we are going to spend stupid money to kick start things it's not just so Tampax shares increase.

Rant over. For the time being. Maybe.

JustKeepSwimming · 27/07/2010 14:00

Vallinna - that is crap timing, can you go with him somehow? And i totally get that about the DH thing, i've tried explaining that feeling tired is no good around OV time but it feels like i just want him for his sperm ....

Takethat - well done on that shagging!!

CD21 no symptoms at all.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 27/07/2010 14:26

Ah Vallinna that's crap for you. I must admit to getting a mental picture of your DH going away for work and leaving you a little erm, present in the fridge.

Can't believe how many phantom stomach pains and twinges I've been having this week. Is it always like this on the 2WW?

vallinnapod · 27/07/2010 14:37

I love you ladies Just typing helps me get more rational, but your knowning there are other loons people out there who completely understand really helps!

MsChutney · 27/07/2010 19:42

I'm back

Well all results are back and normal so I've now been referred to the fertility clinic. Stupidly I didn't think to ask Doc what would happen there. Anyone have any ideas?

Hope everyone is JS like a good un?

MsC x

milanomum · 28/07/2010 12:51

I'm back too, suntanned but very unpregnant. PSML at the thread though!

vanilla I'll be away from DH over my fertile week too...not quite the same as your situation but still irritating. Am going to try for all night shag fest tonight and hope some swimmers hang in there for a few days (potholers maybe?). nomorechoc do you think the airport would want me to take a bottle of dh's 'present' through in a clear plastic bag?

vallinnapod · 28/07/2010 12:55

NMCB lov the idea of the fridge present! I can see them in there with their little hats and scarves on!

Milo I am hoping for some persistent ones too! Most people say to get at it every other day when it is truly tactical shagging so I reckon even if he is gone for 3 days it should be alright....either that or I hop on the Eurostar and get accused of using him as a stud horse again (stud being the most relevent attribute rather than horse PMSL!!!)

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 28/07/2010 13:07

Milan and Vallina* I just about had to wipe my lunch off the screen just now. PingMSL at the thought of rugged up little swimmers peering through the plastic bag as they wave at the customs officer.

SleepyCaz · 28/07/2010 13:24

Can I join?

Not sure where I fit in...

Am 31, TTC DC3. Kind of showed up on BESH thread, but apparently it is more for 30'ss TTC-ers who have had problems conceiving . Hadn't realised and felt guilty so just sort of lurking around now.

Had Mirena coil removed 3 weeks ago. Sort of stopped bleeding now, but on and off spots, so NO idea of cycle just yet!

Also had a blody injury to my 'lady bits' last week and am out of action for a nother few weeks! Aaaargh.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 28/07/2010 13:33

Hi SleepyCaz

The drinks cabinet is over there, pull up a chair and help yourself (just mind the small plastic containers full of dodgey looking stuff, they're wee gifties for some of the girls from their DHs [wink

(Think I just grossed myself out)
