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!

Congrats to lulu that's fantastic (and inspiring) news!

Vannila I am loving that Paloma outfit! Sorry you got bad news but at least there is now a reason for it all and something to blame focus on.

I am off on my hols tomorrow so won't be online for a bit but hope to come back to lots of news! I've been shagging like mad (kind of) and I'm 99% sure I ov'd yesterday (pains etc)so am now pretty much on the 2ww... at least I'll be doing it by the sea ;)

takethat I'm STILL laughing at your smear test experience...

see you all in 2 weeks!

frakkit · 10/07/2010 20:00

vallinna how utterly crap. Still at least this time you know that there's something and that stuff CAN be done about it.

girl I'm so glad DH and I aren't the only ones to have random middle of the night sleepy sex. Once, shortly after we started going out, we managed to shag in the middle of the night (with condom!!!) and neither of us remembering in the morning. Only worked it out because DH still had a condom, y'know...

takethat what kind of pelvic floor exercises do you DO?

takingtheplunge the only proof positives of not being pregnant are AF and/or an ultrasound (dildo-cam optional) showing a very definitely empty uterus. If AF doesn't show up then test again but in the meantime console yourself with wine.

CD erm something here, but DH and I don't care Mental note to self - oversized bean bag not the best place....you get, well, stuck.

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 10/07/2010 20:35

nice bean-bag action frakkit

we seem to have middle of the night sleeping sex when we've shagged that evening an are both overtired!

have lovely hols milanomum

shitforbrains · 11/07/2010 18:39

Hi Ladies!

Just got BFP - I conceived somewhere between 3-5 July, so am due April 2nd-ish.

SHITTING MYSELF

Set up AN thread - hopefully bean will stick around and I'll see some of you there

takingtheplunge · 11/07/2010 18:56

CONGRATULATIONS shitforbrains (that sounds really weird). How exciting! How long had you been JSing and is it your first?

Now on day 32 and not a snifter of a period. Had a 35 day cycle in May so could still turn up, but ususally get sore boobs in the run up to AF (except when pregnant) and nothing. Can't afford another fucking 8 euro test so will have to hang on til I reckon I'm really really late which would be about thurs.

Probably just my body having a huge laugh and AF will turn up on about day 37 aftr I've pissed on another ludricrously expensive stick and got another BFN.

Sigh....

frakkit · 11/07/2010 19:09

taking where do you live that tests are 8€! I thought things were bad here....

OP posts:
NoMoreChocBiscuits · 11/07/2010 19:21

Someone told me to keep telling people not to pee on a stick because the last person I said it too ended up with a BFP so Taking DON'T DO IT! Esp at €8! Sending lots of BFP vibes your way.

And a big YAY for Shitforbrains. Now you're not shitforbrains, just babymush brain! Congrats

Am feeling a bit jealous of all this midnight shagging. DH was just getting frisky last night when DS decided to start crying. GNRRR. All I can say is tonight, it's on!

PrettyVacant1 · 11/07/2010 20:21

Hi can I join you all pleeease.

I was sitting here watching Beaches eating galaxy Counters with a huuuuggge glass of pear cider and I stumbled across you all.

Is there an initiation ceremony quiz?

I won't bore you all with my long history or some of you may feel you have to take up the violin.

I've spent the last 6 months JS till we got the go ahead from various Medical brains.

I'm TTC#1 at this very present moment in time but as the World Cup final is on the JS (with intent) will have to wait till a leetle later as I don't think the outlaws would appreciate it at half time.

Congrats on the BFP Shitforbrains.

Oh and I only pee on Home&Bargins finest for a quid so yet again in 2 weeks, let the menkulness commence!
I could stretch to a fivers worth.

Did I pass?

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 11/07/2010 20:30

They let me in, so I'm guessing it's a big welcome to you too prettyvacant1! You'd better get your shag cape on and join the fun.

takingtheplunge · 12/07/2010 10:41

still nothing !

shitforbrains · 12/07/2010 10:50

take the test!

Lovemylulu · 12/07/2010 11:34

Oooh congrats shitforbrains!!!

Old habits die hard so thought I would pop back for a nose...

Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well on the jS ing front!!

takingtheplunge · 12/07/2010 11:46

went to another pharmacy in case i could find a cheaper one and she said her cheapest were 10 euros. AF could still arrive...have ahd 35-36 day cycles in the last 6 months. Really don't want to piss all over 18 euros of plastic for nothing. If no AF by Thurs, I'll splash out on a really sensitive one. It's just that usually I feel more periody than this (sore boobs, cramps etc). Don't really feel anything....altho with DS I didn't have sore boobs but did have cramps.

frakkit · 12/07/2010 12:02

Bloody hell I get 2 for 10€ and I live in expensiveland! You must live in extortionateland.

3 days and counting

OP posts:
shitforbrains · 12/07/2010 12:25

well I went to the GP today (chest infection) and told her I was PG, she said 'how far?' and I said 2 weeks.

She said 2 weeks late? and I said no, 2 weeks PG.

She said but that's impossible, you can't be, tests aren't that sensitive! I said I'll take another if you like.

She did believe me but said she can't do a referral this early as the hospital will throw the forms back, so I booked another appt for next week.

The thing is, I have always known AT LEAST a week before AF is due if I am PG or not. Does that mean I am weird? I thought it was normal. She says in all her time as a GP she has never known a BFP only a week after conception.
I must be hormonal.
DH says twins.
I hope not!

vallinnapod · 12/07/2010 12:54

SFB sometimes docs just can't appreciate we may know a little more about our own bodies than they do!

According to medical science I was born 5 weeks early. However if you take into account my Ma has only had 20 day cycles I was actually 'on-time'

Back to see the consultant tonight for me for next stages now they have decided I have polycystic ovaries (not PCOS). 'Thanks' to the wonder of Google I am pretty sure I have the insulin resistance that goes with it...I'd like to think that I didn't HAVE to live off rabbit food and exercise regularly to just maintain 10st!

bonkerz · 12/07/2010 13:00

well i came on 5 days late after convincing myself i was pregnant one good thing though is Dh has realised how much he wants this now and has vowed to make a real effort this cycle

takingtheplunge · 12/07/2010 13:20

frakkit I live in Spain and to my knowledge you can only buy tests in pharmacies and the 3 I have asked/bought from were 8, 9 or 10 euros. I bought a test in Feb when my period was late and contraception had been a bit lax and I'm sure I only paid 5 euros, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Well, period is beginning slowly but surely so here's to another month at least of JSing! Hurrah!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/07/2010 13:44

Vpod My Mum is swears I was 6 weeks late! Though I'm not sure that's possible.

Bonks but big about DH!

Taking I've seen people saying they get their tests off the internet for cheap. You should look into that for next time.

Was hoping to be JSing with intent by now, but apparently there is a million miles of red tape involved in having a coil removed around here [Grr frustrated face]. So just enjoying JSing for the fun of it now. Oh well gives me time to shop around for the perfect shag cape (am thinking of a magic one with fur lining).

Happy shagging and/or POAS all!

vallinnapod · 12/07/2010 13:52

I'm a big fan of the internet cheapie tests. Plus it's nice not having an inanimate, plastic object telling you in no uncetain words you are not PG . And it gives us something else to obsess over - 'is there a line, isn't there a line?!' Not that I have come that close!

You have the added joy of trying to aim for the cup with the cheapie sticks as you can't really pee on them mid-flow - well, my aim sucks at any rate!

vallinnapod · 13/07/2010 11:11

Morning fellow shaggers!

I am wondering if this is my last post...no such luck that I would be leaving for a BFP but I think I am shortly to qualify for "carefully timed just shagging with chemical assitance". which sounds like some odd '70s acid trip.

Saw consultant last night who confirmed PCOs. Showed me some great pictures - uterus looks exactly like it does in biology text books, even if my ovaries look like they have adopted this season's trend for polka dots

She said I could leave it for a couple of months (would take me to 6 months with no period) but also mentioned my endometrial (sp?!) lining was very thin therefore she wouldn't expect me to have a period within the next few weeks anyway.

The plan of action is Clomid. She reckons I have plenty of eggs, they are just lazy buggers, all cosy in the ovary and not wanting to crack on (pardon the pun) and fulfil their biological destiny.

I could go back to the NHS but that would mean definitely waiting until 6 months and then 2-3 month referral time.

I am, if you haven't been able to tell (!), a wee bit impatient now so I asked if we could get cracking (oh again with the egg related pun!). Answer: yep!

So....being transferred from where she works for gynae work to where she works for fertility treatment. We are going private...for the time being. Sould have an appointment within a couple of weeks. It amazes me it still takes this long, even privately. Lots of lazy eggs/sperm out there!

Can I hang around here any way?! I took tentive viewing steps on a clomid thread but you guys are way more fun! Plus this way you have at least 3 or 4 more dildo cam stories from me

vallinnapod · 13/07/2010 14:54

I feel like I am in my own little padded cell today

My appointment is on 3rd August - which of course seems like forever away. TBH if they had given me one next week it would have seemed like a life time too. Although I am now JS with MASSIVE intent as I see it as a budget saving exercise!! Tee hee!

JustKeepSwimming · 13/07/2010 16:42

Vallinna - good news about a plan. Have you looked into Metformin at all? Clomid is good, been around ages, etc. But there are some buts with it. A time limit (normally) for a start, some docs say 6 months, some 9, due to the risk of over-stimulation. Could be perfect for cracking those eggs but worth checking the alternatives just in case.

Oh and we went private too for the same bit as i just couldn't wait the possible 6 months for NHS.

Me, CD7 waiting for AF to bugger orf so i can play with free OV sticks

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 13/07/2010 17:47

Ohh, looking forward to more dildo cam stories! You've got to do what you can to keep laughing these days.

I'm off to the hospital tonight, to register for the coil clinic (rolls eyes at the joy that is the NHS). So my fanjo is only being discussed this time. It'll hopefully be being poked around in next week.

This whole post sounds terrible. Oh well

takethatlady · 14/07/2010 09:37

I've been away for five days staying with my parents and my in-laws while DH is in China - went out for a drunken night of dreadful dancing with my SILs, which was fun, and spent time with my mum which usually has a slight sedative effect on her levels of crazy and stops her shouting at me, for a while at least. But no shagging for me. Think I ovulated yesterday, last shag Thursday evening, so no chance .

It's been so busy here while I've been away!

Shitforbrains congratulations! Hang around and tell us how it's going! And don't start 'shitting yourself' - you might shit your brains, and then where would you be?! Ignore your stupid doctor - sounds like she should have your name!

vallinna dooooooooooooooooooooooooooon't gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...... [stretches out hand to vallinna in hope she clings on and doesn't fall off a cliff into some deathly PCOS thread]. Glad to see you're making progress with it all, but grrr for the long waiting times. Lol at the polka dot ovaries!

Prettyvacant here is your initiation quiz. 1. What is your favourite activity beginning with S? (hint: it rhymes with blagging)

  1. Do you have any stories associated with the, ahem, blagging with which to embarrass yourself? And are you willing to embarrass yourself repeatedly in the cause?
  2. Do you have a dirty turn of phrase with which you can turn otherwise horrible/obsessive procedures into something fun (a la pant snot, shag-cape, dildo-cam, etc...)?
  3. What is your favourite activity beginning with S? (really, this is the only one that counts so I'm giving you a second chance )

frakkit I don't do any pelvic floor exercises. It must be all the shagging!
