Hiya Lucky - I am just starting saturday, just had brekkie, about to go sort out the horses. Yey for + OPK, seems like a few of us have had early o this month

Yes, I am hoping an early O is somehow linked to good luck! Just keep thinking about how Julia had an early O the cycle she got pg....maybe it will happen for all of us!

 

[Moondance]

Jill - guess what I am making for dinner? Vege Enchiladas! Yay, they are in the oven now - thanks for the recipe! Will let you know how they turn out.

Vege Echidnas? Tasteeee treats!

Oh Moon, just realised that it wasn't very considerate of me to go and post about my crazy positive OPK after you had just been saying that you are struggling to pinpoint O....sorry love, just wasn't thinking about it

Hope you see some O signs soon xx

Naw chicky, don't worry about it. I'm just getting frustrated with everything lately!!!! Last week I found a friend whose dad said we could use his car to tow my horse home.... but then I couldn't find a float. Finally found a float and the car owner backed out. And dad hasn't been very cooperative with anything... my sister went out and bought me a new bumper and tail light for my car, and so far they've sat out on the verandah and done nothing. Until I started doing it myself and stuffed it up so dad HAD to come and fix it and he kept shouting at me. NOT because of anything I did wrong, but because his girlfriend has been a complete arse all morning. She takes it out on him, so he in turn takes it out on me.
And yeah, just frustrated by life and everything. And feeling still like its all my own fault for not being preggers yet. Coz its MY body thats being stupid.
But never mind.

Girls, I am not entirely sure I am out yet! There have been strange goings on in my boobs the last couple of days and very constant and strong today.

I have another word that I don't like - nips.
Nips sounds really dirty, but nipples is a happy word!

Oooh, tell me more! What's been going on? Fingers crossed for you!!!!!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppsssssssssssssssssss!!!! I love nips. I love saying "wanna grope mah nips?" to my sweety, he just starts laughing!!!! Coulda killed him a few weeks ago. I was on his computer and he comes up behind me and stuffs his hand down my shirt and grabs my boobs, one in each hand. His hands were cold so I squirmed and told him "no gropage until you warm up those hands" so he complains and says "ok ok" and walks into the kitchen, can hear him fiddling with what sounds like the frypan, so I'm thinkin "yeah, he's making his hands toasty and warm above the frypan" .... turns out he was sticking his hands in the FREEZER. He came back out and stuck these ICE COLD hands down my top, I squealed!!!!! Literally, out loud, squealage!!! He was piddling himself laughing. I chased him around poking him, and then he got ME on the floor, poking and tickling me! I my sweety!

Moon I think you have OV already and FF has not spotted it for what ever mad rhe reason, you know your self your temps are not spot on as you wake a lot in the night! so I say your in with a chance yet! I know your cycles are long when are you expecing AF .

Soph I was just going to say that your BFN is way to early to put you out of the running FX hun!!! (I caved and used them)


Honey huge hugs and I love your plan as well, Im finished temping now till a day or two before expected AF cause I dont want to stress and to be honest my temps are very low this month.

LuckyD yay on early ov and for having fun at the right time

Hi Dee welcome

 

[Moondance]

Moon I think you have OV already and FF has not spotted it for what ever mad rhe reason, you know your self your temps are not spot on as you wake a lot in the night! so I say your in with a chance yet! I know your cycles are long when are you expecing AF .

My cycle is supposed to be 37 days.... with Ovulation on Day 25 and a 13 Day Luteal Cycle. But now its already Cycle Day 32.
When I had a major temp drop on Day 19, I thought I was ovulating early and I had hoped that my cycles were beginning to drop down to a shorter, easier to handle cycle, but nope. I wonder if MACA would actually help.
I don't get paid for another week and a half, but when I do get paid I'm going to go into the health food shop and see if I can get a completely soluble MACA powder (I read online you can get it totally soluble like Berocca), or the liquid. I just hope the stuff doesn't set off my gag reflex.
It would be BRILLIANT if it gives me more libido, as I tend to be pretty "meh" on the sex side... I have it because the partner wants it, and it is vaguely enjoyable, but its not something I overly look forward to.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Soph ~ really hope the witch stays AWAY and that no one says nips around you

LuckyD ~ nice early ov!! it would be pretty fantastic if our earlier than expected eggies played nice with some Hey, the early bird gets the worm, right?

Moon ~ hope you are able to find maca in liquid form, seems like most gals really like the effects.

Howdy Titi!

I've been dying to post this since it popped into my head last night:

ttfn tthfers! that is what tigger says, and he is the original tthfer

I'm off to clean up and then chill with DH ~ have a FABULOUS weekend ladies!

 

[Tanikit]

Been reading a lot but feeling a lot quieter here lately. Just wanted to come and spread some babydust and hugs around -

Anna sorry about what you are going through.

Moon hope you feel better soon too.

Soph Fx for you this cycle.

Lol Jaimie tthf while you are gone.

Took DD to a fete today and she had a ball - she's getting so big and was climbing up this high slide part of a juming castle like a 5 year old except she's not even 3 - I still get scared for her playing with the bigger kids, but she was quite the wild child today.

I'm not going to hang around on here quite as much now - feel a little in the way a bit I suppose, but know I am reading and keeping my fingers and toes crossed and hoping you all make your way over to the other side soon so we can have a TTHF post on there instead. Will update you when I have a scan if that is still ok.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Yikes, I have a lot to catch up on... just made it through the end of page 177 (marking my place in case I have to sign off suddenly and can't get caught all the way up! I'm at the in-laws and definitely don't want anyone peaking over my shoulders! They are all outside doing chores on their farm, so I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.

Oh and..... before i forget.... I've got to use my new favorite word! I had secret midnight kootch icing at the in-laws house, but couldn't use a kootchcup for my cupkootch because it's not like can flush the kootchcups! Wouldn't want anyone going, ewwww what's that in the trash can! Can you even imagine?!?!?!! I haven't come up with any better ways to integrate Kootch into a sentence, I must work on this.

Hi Ladies,

May I join you? Titi pointed me your way and what I've read so far is hilarious!

I'm 34 and DH is 36 we've been TTC no. 1 since March 08. Hope you'll have me.

Welcome Dee!!!!! Anyone who's up for having a bit of fun and "trying" to not obsess is welcome here! Now, we don't always manage to not obsess, but we sure try!

I'm calling Squirrel Kootch from now on

Yea, I will make a batch of sangria because I've heard that red wine helps with implantation We are also going to have watermelon gazpacho! Yum!

So I've been rockin' some killer bloat lately. And all sorts of gastrointestinal gurgling. I've read that this stuff is caused by progesterone ~ it relaxes the muscles around the intestines.

Titi - your ticker says you are 1 DPO. Does that jive with ovacue? Do you feel like you've adequately iced your kootchcake?

That's very interesting about the progesterone. I've become very self conscious about the bloating because I feel like I look pregnant sometimes! Hopefully it's only that noticeable to me, but you know how when people expect to you start having kids soon they kind of give you a once over...... Like has been said several times! If there's not a kid waving from between a woman's legs, DO NOT assume she's pregnant!

The big family get together is tomorrow, but I smile when I think of what Lucky told me to say to people should they ask when we're going to have kids.... "Stick it up your Kootch!" Honestly, I think that will help me get through it all! Though I do hope people STFU!

KOOTCH

 

[SquirrelGirl]

yikes, gotta go. MIL is back!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

false alarm, just the hubby, who knows all about BnB! or, not ALLLLL about it, but close enough.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

It's too hard to do a multi-quote of a multi-quote, so sorry for all the separate responses!

omg you guys are hilarious. my cupkootch needed icing last night but i was asleep by the time dh got home lol.

sorry soph, i caved and tested already, 12dpo BFN!!! Rubbish. Am a bit upset about it, esp coz the only spotting ive had this month was 10dpo and it was different to previous months, it was like a gush of brownish cm. so in my head, i was like ooooh maybe IB. but, obviously not or it wouldve showed up today on a sensitive test. grrrrrrr. Im sad. will be on to cycle 8 by the weekend.

Sorry hun I caved this morning and tested too, got a bfn of course. Was gutted. I actually did a htp 2 days ago because I couldn't resist and got an evap which I had never had before and fooled myself into thinking that that was the start of my bfp. ME = IDIOT! I did get some ultra sensitive tests in the post today so, of course will keep testing, but yes, I am totally gutted today

Watch out kootchcakes, I was more worried of making a volcano in there! (7th grade science experiment involving baking soda and vinegar!).
SOPH-I know it sounds scary but keep in mind at 34 and ttc 20 cycles I would actually probably stick a real actual firecracker up there if you promised I'd have a baby 9 months later!!!!!!!! And don't worry Squirrel-I did it two cycles and got itchy one cycle. And I went CRAZY with it that cycle-I did it a zillion times and used way to much BS.
I WAS itchy and a little sore (could have been mild thrush, IDK) about a week later but oddly enough really tight (sorry tmi) at the same time which was very strange side effect?!?!?!?

Titi, I need to apologise hun. I am sorry, that was totally insensitive of me. After my bfn today I am already willing to change my stance on the bsf with my toxic vagina! I am now officially willing to stick a firecracker up my clacka too! And on second thought, if the bsf did cause a swollen fat vajayjay and a pregnancy, wouldn't that make labour easier? The baby would just fall out! No need for pushing.

on the plus side, i have a new ice cream to try today, cinnamon caramel waffle yum. welcome dee!! My real name is Emily and i am addicted to ice cream.

lucky ive started saving for our trip to your land already lol.
xxx

Emily, you know how I can't eat ice cream? Well last night I went to go for my walk and discovered that at this place where I walk they have a gourmet food market in the evening on the 1st and 3rd Thurs of every month - yay! I love food nom nom!
Welllllll..... This seller had all natural home made ice creams, that I taste tested and NO HEADACHE! The best was vanilla bean and vodka, nom nom nom nom nom. The worst was I didn't take my money walking, so have to wait 2 more weeks to get some!

Yay for finding some icecream that doesn't give you a headache!!! WHOOO HOOO

Sorry to hear about your evap, but that does not make you an idiot! It's a shame that all tests aren't digis and they were affordable like the ICs.... I hate staring at them just wishing and hoping for a line to magically appear.


I think the BSF would actually have the opposite effect. It's more "swollen shut" (not really, but it kinda feels tighter/smaller) I figured it was worth the 59 cents or whatever for a box and give it a try for a couple months. I don't see what harm it could do since you're supposed to do it an hour in advance of BDing..... So long as you don't touch your cervix, I don't think it would be painful. I've never gone that far in, so I haven't had any problems with it.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

oh soph!! Ive never had an evap before either, must be so annoying. how many dpo are you?
vanilla and vodka ice cream with no headache!? well that's amazing news!!!

so guess who got me in my sleep!?!? STUPID WITCH!!! [inserts plenty of swear words] I HAAAAAATE HER SHE'S RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! I dont want to go to work and listen to old preggars whinge that shes fat because im scared i will like you know erm PUNCH HER IN THE HEAD. grrrrrrr. (pregnant tthfers, dont take that the wrong way, you know it's just coz im jealous)

I need a plan. who's on the bd every 3 days plan? might try that, i think every day is too much. maybe less is more?

moon - ahh ive been there too many times for my liking. it'll get better in a few days. eating probiotic stuff helps too hun.

anyway i've really got to go. hope you all have a super day/eve im off to TTHF!!!!!!! lol.xxxx

I'm doing the every three days "plan". Between that and not POAS this month, it's been rather relaxing! Give it a try and see how you like it! Besides, I've read that if you have sex three times a week, you're covering your bases as much as necessary. So I figure it must work.... Or hoping so, I guess!

Hi Jill! Missed ya! Hope your kootchcakes - I mean Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes - come out delish : )

I so love that the kootchcake term has caught on! And Jill, I hope they turn out wonderfully!


(I'm through page 188, and looks like the family is getting ready to come back in.... but I'm trying desperately to catch up! ) oh no, it's not 188... I've lost my place. YIKES!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

What page approx. is the cupcake cone recipe on? My mom made these once when I was wee little and I've never had or seen them since and nobody's ever heard of them-I'd love to make them!!!!!

Squirrel, did you know there is another person on BnB that has the same avatar as you? It was so weird, I thought it was you but then realised they had a different name...

Been reading a lot but feeling a lot quieter here lately. Just wanted to come and spread some babydust and hugs around -

Anna sorry about what you are going through.

Moon hope you feel better soon too.

Soph Fx for you this cycle.

Lol Jaimie tthf while you are gone.

Took DD to a fete today and she had a ball - she's getting so big and was climbing up this high slide part of a juming castle like a 5 year old except she's not even 3 - I still get scared for her playing with the bigger kids, but she was quite the wild child today.

Will update you when I have a scan if that is still ok.

Titi, let's see, I made those cupcakes for a bbq in middle of June, so the recipe would be somewhere around that timeframe. Super simple. Basically you make cupcakes, but instead of putting the batter in paper cups, you put them in ice cream cones. There are pictures with how to do this without spilling them, but I really don't know how many pages back it is. If you can't find it, PM me and I can attach the pics again and send them to you. They are easy to make, but transporting them is tricky! Which is why I was ecstatic when I found some carriers for them. Found an order form on the side of an ice cream cone box. My mom made them for our birthdays too a couple years when we were little. Everyone always thought they were the Coolest! And they still do!! Everyone goes nuts over them, but they are sooooo easy!



Lucky, yep! Because I stole the avatar from someone, I liked it so much! Thought it went well with my Yoga Journal/Journal of hotness!



Tanikit, I'm sorry you're feeling "in the way"! Please don't go! I realize it must be different being on "the other side", but seriously we don't want you to go.




Ok, now I'm all officially caught up! Sorry for all the ******* replies! I moved to a chair where my back is to the corner so no one can walk by and see what I'm reading! Guess I'd better get back to socializing now, though. Have a great evening everybody!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

um. why did the word spast-ic get bleeped out above? It's not a dirty word or anything! added a hyphen to see if it will accept it now!

S-P-A-S-T-I-C

1. mod.
overly responsive; out of control. : She can get so spast-ic when I come in late.


very very strange. Well, if I get kicked off BnB for using a perfectly acceptable word, they'll see a bunch of profane words then!!

 

[soph77]

Oh Kootchgirl sweety, I have no problem with the word, we all used to call each other that when we were kids. Just like calling each other a moron or numbnuts or something else equally innocent, but today in the day of political correctness and such, that word is a defamatory word for people with disabilities, which is why it would have been blanked out

 

[soph77]

Well I am off to the marathon! Wish my boys luck! I will be back on this arvo to let you know their times.

 

[Titi]

I think the BSF would actually have the opposite effect.

I've never gone that far in, so I haven't had any problems with it.

OMG! I'm so glad it wasn't just me! You noticed it too! WTH????? It was CRAZY tight in there the cycle I did it the most....and not in an "oooh I'm young again" tight but in an OUCH OMG sort of way!!!!!!! Like, DH LITERALLY gave me a mini episiotomy that time. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO besides itchy kootch & episotomies anyone else up for trying bsf with us?????????

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Titi you are hilarious! Really selling the 'ol fertility firecrackers! But that would be a good tip for any gal that feels she is a little more "loose" with a guy than she or he would like ; P

Kootchcake / Squirrel ~ you rocked the mega response at your in-laws! Glad you got some secret BD in. That is how one of my best gals conceived - while her in-laws were visiting : )

Soph - I am SHOCKED that word is considered un-PC and derogatory. Am I missing something? Hope your boys did great in the marathon - that is really fantastic. I can't do any more than three miles these days, and really don't have any desire to go any longer!

Aw Tanikit I'd love to see your scan! I hope our whining about bump jealousy isn't making you feel unwanted. thanks for spreading baby dust around!

 

[LuckyD]

Ha ha Titi - you crack me up! I like 'not in a 'ooooh I'm young again' tight' - HA HA HA!!!!

Yep, that word is not said here in New Zealand these days either..it's like '********', not considered appropriate anymore. Things change so quickly with our word usage....I'm surprised it was blanked out though Squirrel, I've seen people write all kinds of 'dirty' words on BnB, including the 'c' word, and they haven't been blanked out!

Go the secret in-law cupkootch icing Squirrel! Nice one! Hope you don't get any stupid comments or questions today....

Sorry things are a bit rubbish at the moment Moon

Tanikit - obviously it's up to you, but from my point of view I don't want to see you go!! I don't feel like you are 'in the way' or anything! I miss hearing from you and Julia!

Sending my good luck to the boys Soph!!


Hope y'all are enjoying your weekends! It's a nice sunny winters day here, and we are about to head off into town to see my Mum and visit some friends. Managed to sneak in another quick BD session this morning, so feeling good about the timing this month.

Happy 4th July to the Americans!

TTFN TTHFers!!

 

[LuckyD]

Ha ha, I just did it to myself! The word I was trying to write was re-tarded.

 

[Titi]

Hi Girls-this is my favorite thread.......I wish I found it sooner! It lifts my spirits every time!!!!

I want to put my vote in for cool bfpers to stay! Plus, as I mentioned a few threads ago realized that pg people complaining is not really a vile offense........as anything could hurt anyone really if they had a situation you didn't know about. Like complaining about gaining weight no matter what you weigh could hurt someone's feelings who weighs more, or complaining about working too much when people have lost jobs, etc. etc. I think when you develop a relationship with your "best mates" and they get pg you want them to stay. I stalk a ton of pg journals and LOVE seeing FB scans, etc. of my early b&b gals who got pg. I think its just annoying when random bfps pop up-ya know what I mean? IMO.
