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!

Can you imagine my mentalness is I EVER get on the 2WW??!! You ladies will look like calm, sane individuals by comparisson Grin

BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 08:59

morning vallinna, what next for you? I'm sure you are going up the walls?

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/08/2010 09:30

Do you know, the best thing about watching you lot go spectacularly slowly up the wall? I get to sit and laugh smile at you all, safe in the knowledge that in a few weeks when you've all returned to normality I'll be on here going bonkers, making you all laugh smile.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/08/2010 09:32

PS; can't wait to see Vallinna on her 2WW, esp when it results in that BFP, I can almost hear the excited shrieking now!

JosieSmith1 · 17/08/2010 09:42

I'm glad we make you laugh, it's a welcome reprive from going bonkers! I realise how ridiculous I seem but hey ho there you go! Only got until friday then it'll either be a BFP or a BFN, either way the worst is over for this month!

BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 10:05

Right, we need some light relief..

How about some questions to "get to know one another" without revealing RL "giveaways"?

  1. Secret crush of shame?
  2. Favourite TV programme, no matter how crap?
  3. Most exotic but regular favourite JS position (thrown that one in because I'm always up for new ideas Grin)
  4. DH/DPs worse habit
  5. Last thing you shed a tear over
  6. Usual evening tipple pre-BFP
  7. Confession: what you do that breaks the JSing rules

Feel free to sling in a question on the end of your own.

Grin
JosieSmith1 · 17/08/2010 11:01
  1. Tim Roth
  2. At the minute I'm watching Dexter
  3. I don't do exotic Blush. Will have to be when we tried half lying down half sitting up, didn't go too well Grin
  4. Fidgeting when we're watching tv, and leaving his stuff lying around everywhere!
  5. When horsey went lame (about 5 days ago!)
  6. I don't drink! Ever! Not that I'm teetotal or anything, just not a drinker. It'll have to be pepsi
  7. Erm, don't know actually! I'm very tempted to POAS early (as in day after JS!) but that's about it!
vallinnapod · 17/08/2010 11:18

Morning ladies!

No idea what my blood test results were yesterday. My guess is they think there may still be possibility of ovulation this month as I have another hot date with dildocam on Friday. Not sure what happens after that. If I am not going to ovulation then I am not going to have a period so I guess more Clomid at a higher dose? Who knows!

NMCB - I think you and I have a cosy corner sorted out! My 2WW will mean the internet ends up in meltdown at my MN posts, there will be a global shortage of pee-sticks as I wee on one on the hour, every hour, I will be contemplatin life as a possible single parent as DH leaves the madness that will be our house. Still, I will have plenty of time to reflect on my behaviour as I sit in my padded cell rocking back and forth Grin

Brassica LOVE the questions...here goes!

  1. Secret crush of shame?
Simon Cowell - but not now it is 'cool' (well, cooler!) to fancy him. This was during Pop Idol...high trousers and all... Most of my crushes fall into this category, bar DH#2...Daniel Craig
  1. Favourite TV programme, no matter how crap?
Spooks, I think, but I am an American TV junkie! Grey's Anatomy, House, Glee, Desperate Housewives etc...DH keeps threatening to wipe the Sky+ Wink
  1. Most exotic but regular favourite JS position (thrown that one in because I'm always up for new ideas )
Boring and unexotic, but I am a big fan of me on top.
  1. DH/DPs worse habit
Picking his toe nails off and leaving them on the sofa or on the floor for me to tread on!
  1. Last thing you shed a tear over
DH had a drunked rant at me on Saturday night, shed a little tear Sunday morning recounting what he had said to me (he couldn't remember!!)Other than that dildocam seems to make direct contact with my tear ducts!
  1. Usual evening tipple pre-BFP
Fave would be an ice cold glass of champagne. Clearly not a regular occurance though! A good, ice old white wine - a burgundy is my particular fave Smile

Love a lychee martini (or any sort really other than the James Bond kind - took me over an hour to get through one of those and I was pretty convinced it had burnt through my oesophagus!)

  1. Confession: what you do that breaks the JSing rules
Do you not think my post is long enough?! Where would I even start?! The masses of medical intervention is probably the biggest but I was temp charting before I even joined this thread Blush (Although as I have mentioned previously, I can only get it to spike on a hangover!!)

I have an additional 'confession' question!

  1. What is your guilty baby-related website peek even though you are not PG?
Mine is pushchairs...I have no idea why but I am obsessed with them Confused
BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 11:19

I should have answered my own qu's.

1.The muscle bound one from Fantastic Four before he puts his suit on. Ohh, or the very buff chap from Criminal Minds. Yes, him. In a white tight t-shirt.

  1. Heir Hunters when I'm working from home Grin Greys Anatomy otherwise
  2. Reverse Cowgirl Grin
  3. Leaving things where he uses them/finishes with him - everything from butter to drills
  4. When DH quoted the sermon from our wedding when I was upset about TTC/AF (ahh)
  5. A nice sauv blanc, but moving to pimms while TTC as it's a longer drink and I can make it weak
  6. OPKs Blush
Smile
BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 11:22

Oooh, cross post vallinna
love your answers

  1. Isabella Oliver maternity wear Blush
baby2b · 17/08/2010 11:57
  1. Secret crush of shame?
The werewolf from Twilight - he is only 17! Blush
  1. Favourite TV programme, no matter how crap?
Desperate housewives, since ttc been watching bringing home the baby on Home and Health channel
  1. Most exotic but regular favourite JS position (thrown that one in because I'm always up for new ideas )
Oooh, not sure what its called, just googled and cosmo call it the rock and roll. Grin
  1. DH/DPs worse habit
He always goes to sleep on his back and then starts snoring. I put his arm across his chest like the recover position and have to roll him over!
  1. Last thing you shed a tear over
Everything this week!
  1. Usual evening tipple pre-BFP
If I'm in the house a glass of wine. If I'm out then an apple martini...yum!
  1. Confession: what you do that breaks the JSing rules
POAS - if its not OPKs it's pregnancy tests!
  1. What is your guilty baby-related website peek even though you are not PG?
Erm...I always scan the pregnancy threads and like Vallina I love Pushchairs. Got to help my friend choose one recently as she was eight months pregnant, she was like 'I have no idea where to start', so I pretended to be clueless too! Blush
baby2b · 17/08/2010 12:02

Oooh, question 9 - what is the most random 'symptom' you have convinced yourself is due to pregnancy?

BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 12:02

Hi b2b I'm another one for sneaking a peak at some of the baby shows on H&H.

Wanders off to google position "rock and roll"...

baby2b · 17/08/2010 12:06

Not as exotic as it sounds, lol. How are you doing? I thought I had replied to your stats post Hmm. Top marks for effort this month!

BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 12:07
  1. I was itching in bed last night. Googled it this morning Hmm
baby2b · 17/08/2010 12:14

Haha Grin

  1. Hiccups - I had them twice in one day and with the help of google I was convinced.
JosieSmith1 · 17/08/2010 12:27
  1. Anything to do with nursery stuff
  2. Going to toilet 4 times in an hour last night! Was convinced!
milanomum · 17/08/2010 12:59
  1. Crush?
Hugh Laurie - in his Dr. House persona, of course.
  1. Favourite TV programme -
All the crap ones. When i'm in the UK i love all the house and makeover ones and here I'm obsessed with the german/scandinavian soaps which they put on.
  1. Not exotic but standing up in the shower is/was a fave.
  2. DH/DPs worse habit - not listening (but i think that's just a man-thing)
  3. Last thing you shed a tear over - a wedding (I always blub at weddings)
  4. Usual evening tipple pre-BFP
Martini and soda or a really cold larger.
  1. Confession: I obsess about my fertile window but nothing else (buffs halo)
  2. New look maternity mail order and wondering what season i'll need and whether it's better to be pregnant in the summer or winter for the clothes.
  3. symptoms - gagging as i brush my teeth (but I always do that - i just 'forget' when i'm on my 2ww)
milanomum · 17/08/2010 13:03
  1. What's your JS-ing limit - how long before you succumb to charting, medical intervention etc? or is that too depressing? I've been JS-ing with intent for about 4 or 5 months and i really don't know when i'll start to worry, i suppose around 8 or 9 months, even though I know it's normal to wait for a year or more... put it this way, not panicking yet..
BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 13:11

10 I lied to GP after 2 months because I was getting mid-cycle bleeding.

How old are you milano? If you are 35+ I'd make an appointment now and round up Wink to 6 months ttc. If you are under 35 then I rekon about 9 months is it, again round up to 12 months. It can take an age just to get past/into the system. You can always cancel you if get BFP.

vallinnapod · 17/08/2010 13:18

9 - what is the most random 'symptom' you have convinced yourself is due to pregnancy?
Cramping and spots

  1. What's your JS-ing limit: I only sought advice so soon as I didn't get a period after coming off the pill. the intervention sort of snowballed after that!

Brassica - I momentarily forgot my maternity wardrobe 'shopping'....

Milano - Mmmm Hugh Laurie. Wrong but right!

b2b Blush I too have pretended to be cclueless about baby stuff I could actually do a round of Mastermind one!

TV confessions: 16 and Pregnant, Underage and Pregnant....you get the jist!

baby2b · 17/08/2010 13:20
  1. I thought the year mark, though not sure now. Think I might have to wait three months before I am allowed to ttc again, though different sites say different things. Confused

This doesn't really fit the quiz as it's a bit of a yes/no question but, 11. Does anyone else have to remind themselves not to use mumsnet acronymns when chatting to people in rl about ttc?!

baby2b · 17/08/2010 13:27

Omg, I was addicted to 16 and pregnant for ages and then the follow up show on it. Stopped watching it as DH started to get home earlier from work and don't want to let him know my obsession with pregnancy/ supernanny type related shows. Grin

BrassicaBabe · 17/08/2010 13:29

I've got a new random "symptom". I'm only 2DPO, but I've been feeling bloated and kind of "full". But I think it's just gas Blush

ah, yes, love 16 and Pregnant, Underage and Pregnant when I bump into them on Sky.

  1. I've converted DH to SWI but he doesn't know the origin
NervousNelly · 17/08/2010 13:32

Hmmm good questions. Ok here goes:
1.Secret Crush. Hmmm I?m fairly obvious, Johnny Depp, George Clooney. But I do have a weird fascination for Bono in leather Grin
2.Fav TV Prog ? most American stuff ? CSI, House, ER (sadly missed), Friends (even more sadly missed); etc. Mostly anything with glamorous people and ideally a sunny location.
3.Exotic position. Well who?s to say what?s exotic Blush. I guess doggy style, reverse cowgirl, and lots I don?t know the name of. In fact my DP comes up with new ones all the time, which worries me as either he?s about to get sacked for looking up porn on t?internet at work; or he?s having an affair with an ?experienced lady??.
4.DP?s worst habit. Snoring? Smoking? Never finishing what he starts? (though luckily except in bed LOL).
5.Shed a tear ? Grey?s anatomy. Told you I liked American Telly :)
6.Evening tipple ? anything red except Shiraz. Or a GnT, or a rum n Ginger. If I?m out, all/any of the above plus mojhitos (sp?). I?m not an alcky though, oooh nnoooo.
7.Haven?t broken too many JS rules yet as I?m so new to this. Except perhaps over-use of google.
8.Baby website peeks. Haven?t started that yet. Though I bought something from Mammas and Pappas website for my sister; specifically said it was a gift; but they keep sending me emails of all the lovely stuff I need for my new arrival Shock
9.Symptom. Well again a bit early for this yet, but I had a ?moment? a few months ago when I was late, and I was googling things about funny smelling pee. And I?m considering blaming my lack of housework on it Grin
10.JS limit. Well I?m 36 so probably not too long. In fact last night, on day 1 of TTC JS?ing I considered asking DP to go off to the doctor to be checked out, just in case. I am clearly a few steps away from full on madness already!!!
