Glowing!
Sorry if this is tmi but I can only talk about this to strangers at the mo.
Been trying to get cheggers for a few months and this was the first month that we planned it according to the 'cycle'.
Anyways, mid the ridiculously short window of opportunity (how on earth do people get pregnant by accident?!) we had a massive row and were too anti each other to take full advantage so I'd kind of written this month off.
BUT, just now one of my colleagues told me my face was 'glowing'. What an odd word to use! And now I'm all like 'it's a sign, it's a sign' and now I wanna take a test but I'm what if it's not a sign. I know I'm reading into it, but no one at work knows we're trying and I haven't done my make-up differently so WHY IS MY FACE GLOWING???

and now I keep pushing my boobs to see if they're tender...
they're not :(
ur not doing it right
what's cheggers' involvement in all this?
I hate saying
pregnant
It sounds so desperate
that's fine
I just wasn't aware that Keith Chegwin was a common euphemism
make like the spanish
'embarrassed'
congratulations!
I wouldn't even bother with the test
if a semi stranger says you are glowing it is pretty much 98% definite you are preggers
:D
are 'signs' things?
yes
the best sign of all is a line in each of the two windows on the stick you've just pee-ed on.
when are you due?
Just pee on a stick. COME ON, do it! Live test, live on DiS (can I be godmother?)
I'm due in about a week
I don't think I can wait till then but I like keeping the possibility alive.
i presume you're charting just now
Just remember a few things- even if you don't have sex at the exact moment of ovulatoin, it's ok. if you've had sex before, the sperm can stay al;ive at the cervix for five days, so it could be your egg has poppsed out and been immediately greeted by some eager sperm. LIekwise, youre oving can vary fomr month to month. So, you really could be, even if you don't feel your *window* was utilised! This si exciting, Don't get your hopes up too much obviously, but.... why not wait until after the weekend and then test? Have you tried using OPKs? Might be worth using them for your next attempt if this one hasn't worked.
Q:
If you are trying to get preggers, is it popular wisdom that you should only get down to it during the window of opportunity? i.e. Is there a disadvantage to doing it outside of the window?
2 shcools of tohught
1. only do it during the window. the more you ejaculate, the more your sperm dilutes (this is not proven btw and is only mild theory). If you abstain during your infertile stages (i.e. immediately before and after period and during period) then your partner's sperm is potentially more concentrated; or
2. my preferred method, the DO IT TILL YOUR EYES BLEED method. I just think that your body is always chaning and if you just fuck constantly, you're going to get pregnant eventually, barring any obvious fertility issues, of course.
If I ever decide to have a baby, I reckon I could conceive pretty quickly using my method.
PLEASE STOP
it's science!
(and the most natural thing in the world, you wally.)
au contraire i believe you were causing the poor chap undue stimulation
in his office of work
Option 2 is a winner
The more training the boys get, the more likely they are to win gold
i have no medical quals or scientific basis for thinking this
but surely freshly spawned sperm will be healthier than sperm that's been lazing about in your bawsack for a few weeks. I think you should be constantly , ahem, *refreshing* your supply to ensure that the good ones are ready to go out and fight.
Ringworms natural
Doesnt mean I want someone to go into great detail about it :@
I once caught ringworm off seamus
(my friend's mongrel. Seamus has his own seat at our local pub.)
in fact, what am I saying, seamus is dead
He died just after xmas. How could I have forgotten about this. Do you ever forget people have gone and died? I do this with alarming regularity.
What happens when you have ring worm?
nasty circular rash that's really itchy round the circumference
but eerily ok within the circles. I got it on my legs.
I do agree that
"egg popped out" and "eager sperm" were perhaps a little bit too much.
I agree...
that's probably where religious folk got the idea to abstain before marriage. You know when you first get together (start shagging) and you're just doing it all the time, it would be really easy to get pregnant then. We've got a bit lazy now and we take each other for granted :-(
laziness and taking for granted is an easy rap to fall into
Sometimes you need to JFDI (just fucking do it) and the more you do, the more you'll be back in the swing of things. I am basically going to become a fucking ambassador. JUST FUCKING DO IT. Get me Nike on the phone now.
F:JDI
A small amendment, but I think it reinforces the message
oh can you two just
DI

NO
I am celibate just now. Saving myself for jesus.
it was probably a polite way to say you're a bit sweaty
Maybe something like ^this
When the missus and I were using the withdrawl method her face ended up, err, 'glowing' quite often...
:/
*something about the misogynistic cultural ubiquity of the money shot and the didacticism of porn*
/:
*something about submission being a turn-on for many women*
*something about it being not my business*
^^^thesis, antithesis, and synthesis
keep going, nearly there
It HAS to go somewhere to be fairness
Plus I like to consider myself something of a gentleman - I always give the lady the options of tits or face.
“What Jessica said—
hair much shorter, wearing a darker mouth of different outline, harder lipstick, her typewriter banking in a phalanx of letters between them — was: "We're going to be married. We're trying very hard to have a baby."
All at once there is nothing but his asshole between Gravity and Roger. "I don't care. Have his baby. I'll love you both — just come with me Jess, please... I need you...."
She flips a red lever on her intercom. Far away a buzzer goes off. "Security." Her voice is perfectly hard, the word still clap-echoing in the air as in through the screen door of the Quonset office with a smell of tide flats come the coppers, looking grim. Security. Her magic word, her spell against demons.”
Maybe you just applied you make up better today?
