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!

That's great news vallinna, and glad you're feeling better.

Really sorry it didn't work out this month brassica. But every month is a month closer to BFP I reckon. Glad you've booked that appointment - but we're going to twist your arms behind your backs and carry you there kicking and screaming on the 11th if you try to back out again!

I did POAS but I am an idiot because my original pant snottage predictor was correct. Had a bit Thurs and Fri, lots more Sat and Sun along with the cramps, and then on Tingly Boob Monday I was a veritable snot machine - of the 'put a coin in my mouth, and out it comes' level of intensity. Now it's def gone, and my temps have been up the last two days. Good news is we bucked the Shag Bronco every day, so fingers crossed for my 2ww. Bit fucked off though that I seem to be settling into 47 day cycles . I have to wait 5 weeks for the 2ww! If only you could ovulate by mind control.

Love this thread too loopy, hate all the others. Gormers you are a lady after my own heart

vallinnapod · 04/08/2010 11:40

Awh, frustrations takethat!

Brassica - GL for next week. Is it your first appt outside the GP? It'll be the fun and games of blood tests and dildo cams probably....ahhh the joys! Plus your DH will get the chance to spunk in a cup! Mine goes tomorrow for that particular joy, I pointed out it was easier than what I had to go through and FAR easier than trying to pee in a cup to dip a PG test in!

JosieSmith1 · 04/08/2010 11:50

Hi everyone, I'm knew here, and if I've got the lingo right I'm part of the JS crew!

Only been off the pill for two months and after spending a fortune on tests waaaaay too early and getting disappointed each time, I've decided just to go with the flow. All these charts and temp monitoring isn't for me, way too technical and I think when it gets to that point you're starting to stress about it so not worth it.

So here's to JS!!

JosieSmith1 · 04/08/2010 12:01

Can I be a bit naive and ask what 2ww, POAS and AF mean?!

30andMerkin · 04/08/2010 12:02

Afternoon ladies, old skool lurker here.

I need some serious kipperage hand holding here. On the last 3 days of the 2WW after the first month of concerted JSing after a couple of barren months which are best not mentioned!

vallinnapod · 04/08/2010 13:27

Noooooooooooooo, 30 STTTTOOOOPPPPP!!

3 days is an eternity no time at all! Stay busy, work, films, cleaning, shagging...anything!

I think we all need mugshots up in Boots and bars an eBay to dtop us

BrassicaBabe · 04/08/2010 14:07

Welcome Josie
2 week wait - the gap between ovulation and period turning up
pee on a stick
Aunt Flo (period) pukey, but we end up using it!

BrassicaBabe · 04/08/2010 14:39

DH and I will def be going for our appt on the 11th. It's just such a PITA as the hosp is at least an hour away off-peak and our appointment is at 0930! Although I really should be grateful that we've got an appointment. I had blood tests with the GP which showed I was not ovulating, but secreat POAS seems to suggest this has changed which is why I was putting the appt off. So I think we're starting from the beginning. I just know they are going to want me to give up the wine. I will seriously have to consider: baby or sauv blanc, baby or sauv blanc? Some evenings I think I might struggle!

Also the question is, do you help him jizz in a cup or leave him to it alone?!

Pesky 47 day cycle takethat, but congrats on coupling shag-athon with pant snot!

Sod it 30 I say if peeing in kitchen receptacles makes you feel better then go for it! Just expect the BFN at this stage then you can keep the mentalness in check.

ViveLaFrak · 04/08/2010 14:48

POAS BFN

ViveLaFrak · 04/08/2010 15:00

Ohhh I was trying to be so subtle and quick there with DH watching and he looked over and said 'POAS? BFN? What's that? Code for I'm busted?!'

Yes, clearly....

I'm trying to keep myself busy as we're back to Europe for 5 weeks on Friday and I don't want to be stressing/POAS the whole time!

Glad you've got an appointment brassica. This is another reason why OPKs are baaaaad.

Good luck with the clomid vallinna. Fingers crossed it works for you!

Welcome josie! And welcome back 30 - fingers crossed for the last few days of your 2ww. This is clearly where all the ramekins from the ramekin intervention thread end up!

vallinnapod · 04/08/2010 15:21

Brassica no one has once mentioned stopping the booze...I alluded to drinking more than is probably correct and she said she assumed I would be cutting down as TTC. Which is true, however up until now I have sort have thought 'oh sod it'. Until mini-me implants the booze consumption has no affect on the future bub..although that said I am not drinking now the clomid has started as I don't want it to fail and then me kick myself for being indulgent (even just the one)

Our clinic is not hugely far from us (but is from work so all these scans are involving loooonnnnnggg lunches) so it means if DH wanted he could spunk in a cup and get it to them within the hour. He rides a scooter so I'd have images of Ben Elton in Maybe Baby! He's manned up though and will do the deed, solo, at the clinic tomorrow. Poor man, he gets stage fright peeing in urinals so he could be there a while [simle] One hint of a whinge and I will point out I have had 3 sessions with the dildo cam so far and several more to come!

30andMerkin · 04/08/2010 16:01

Oh blimey vallinna, have been away a while and it sounds like you're really going through it.

Have just re-watched that episode of Sex and the City when Charlotte takes a copy of 'Juggs' magazine to the clinic for her husband as, um, 'assistance'!

Why is it that women get prodded and poked, but men get given pornography!

vallinnapod · 04/08/2010 16:47

Thanks 30 - I think I just like flying in the face of all this thread stands for Hopefully it is nothing more than my ovaries requiring a chemical jump start!

I think men get it 'easy' as there would be a severe decline in the population if their role was anything more than what it is! First sign of trouble and they'd head for the hills!

BrassicaBabe · 04/08/2010 17:26

vallinna I don't drink anymore......................................I don't drink any less either

You'd better not tell poor DH we all know he's got a "relationship" with a cup booked for tomorrow. No pressure eh?

Oooh vive Busted! I always use the "inprivate browsing" when at home.

PMSL at 30s Gu ramekins

JustKeepSwimming · 04/08/2010 17:30

Well you will all be glad to hear i resisted POASing today, truthfully i'm 99% sure i'm not pg, absolutely no hint of a twinge of a symptom, and i've started spotting which usually happens before AF.
So I cba to get out of bed, find receptacle & test & go and do it just to get an expected BFN.

If no Af by...CD 34 or 35 then i may give in again.

Honestly.

CD 29 today.

gormers · 04/08/2010 17:45

Hello all!

Brilliant re ramekins! We have so many in the cupboard with no real use - maybe this is it!!

Welcome Josie, we're all normal really!

30 - I can't believe that you've managed to get to within 3 days of your AF due date without POAS. I caved at 7 days prior!! Trying my hardest today to forget those other 3 sitting in the drawer! Well done you!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 04/08/2010 21:03

My poor DH. He has no idea why I've just been sitting here giggling away for the last 10 or so mins. Don't think he'd understand the fascination of dildo-cam and ramekins.

All I can say about men is to just remember they still have the old prostrate bend over and cough to come (revenge ).

Still in limbo here. Still sick, so it could still be that but then again could be a delayed BFP (esp the way the Dr was talking the other day). GAH!

In other news I have discovered that floaters in pee is quite normal!

BrassicaBabe · 04/08/2010 22:26

Hmm, just poured another glass of wine to be greeted by "I thought you were cutting down"! What he doesn't understand is that if I don't drink then I eat and I don't want to get fat!

BrassicaBabe · 04/08/2010 22:29

Floaters in pee? WTF?

JosieSmith1 · 05/08/2010 08:13

Morning everyone.

This thread makes me laugh! Just what you need eh? And it's made me realise that I'm not alone! Before my last AF I was POAS for days beforehand, knowing that I'd get a BFN and I thought I was going mad, but by the sounds of it you lot do it too so I'm just normal really!

JosieSmith1 · 05/08/2010 08:20

P.S. at the risk of being shot down, is it against the rules to check an ovulation chart so that you've got a rough idea when you're ovulating?

BrassicaBabe · 05/08/2010 09:24

Hi Josie if I remember rightly counting and checking pant snot are officially allowed.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 05/08/2010 10:20

Brassica WTF!! is what I thought yesterday when I pee'd in my little pot. It was full of floaters. But thanks to the power of google I know now it's perfectly normal, we just don't normally notice as we don't normally pee into little plastic pots and have a good look

AF is now in day 7 of not showing up-ness.

Morning to all. How goes the TTC madness?

takethatlady · 05/08/2010 10:35

NMCB you're going to have to explain this! Floating whats?! [toddles off to wee in a cup and inspect the contents....]

I've got nothing to report 3 days into the motherf*ing 2ww. Going drinking Friday and Saturday - once for champagne and dessert at colleague's house, once at Folk Week where my parents live (mainly a drinking fest, joined in by some 'folk' who camp nearby, sell crafts, and occasionally do some morris dancing). Planning on not getting drunk [secretly knowing I definitely will ]. I say, drink while you still can! (Drink while you think, drink while you are still young enough to get away with it, drink when you're old and no-one cares anymore .... etc etc.)

Anyway, I'm off to buy some Gu puds so I can PIAR in 10 days' time (Pee in a Ramekin being much more ladylike than POAS, which is really P half OAS, a quarter on my hands, and a quarter all over the loo seat). Who knew Gu was a conception aid? Sod the agnus castus, I'm going for chocolate mousse.

Loving the spunking in a cup. Do you think there's an equally guilty 'I'm addicted to SIAC thread' on Dadsnet in some alternative universe? (You can just imagine it. 'I knew the cups were in the drawer. My wife had eaten three chocolate puds. I just couldn't walk by without a quick jizz. Slap me with a kipper, quick!)
