Just Shagging Part 10; No science or skill, JS at will!

Welcome to the lazy way to make a baby, part 10!!

Just Shagging (JS) is ttc using ye olde shagging & crossing fingers methods, our tools are your body, OH?s body..urm some wine & lots of finger crossing.

All are welcome, most leave happy & upduffed! The last two threads have been very successful; thread 8 had 5 BFP?s, thread 9 had 6 BFP?s....so we?re due 7 BFP?s here, which means we all need to get shagging.

We don?t ?do?; OPKS, taking temp or harcore charting...although it is nice to know when ERTD is due.
Which brings us to acronyms & slang;
AF=ERTD (Evil Red Tide Of Doom).
EWCM=Pant Snot
Getting a BFP soon after joining thread= Doing a kitten
You=Are a viroid, no idea why but it goes long back to the dawn of time.
DTD=JS or donning the Shag cape.
POAS=Sometimes referred to as PIAR (Pissing In A Ramekin), as we?re such classy ladies

Here is last thread for proof that it works, and that you can't shut us up Grin

Here is the Graduates thread!

Creepy I mean....
Not very smart this phone is it?

Creepy I mean....

notsoold · 08/08/2012 17:03

Creeky right? Stents....
But he needs to be committed as we are getting old ....lol
Horse my pmts used to be horrible and acupuncture helped a lot. Apart from the comfort eating...

Couchsweetpotato · 08/08/2012 16:39

Hello and thanks for the welcome.

notso, you are very brave. There is no way I would be sexing with a stent involved! But how nice that your DH is so committed.

Dysgu, the house swap does sound very tempting, but I fear the amount of tidying we would have to do. (We live with DH's two children, who are 13 and 10, so there is a LOT of stuff around!)

horse, I hear ya on the PMT. I just got my period back after a two year gap and at least it explained the screaming meltdown I had last week.

I am also trying to lose weight. I piled it on after DD was born eating cake every day and abandoning all my healthy eating habits during pregnancy. I have lost a few pounds recently but we're off on holiday this weekend so I think they may reappear quite soon. I just hope I don't weigh too much to conceive!

AWomanCalledHorse · 08/08/2012 16:13

Welcome Couch!

notso, hope DH is feeling ok, sounds like you've both had a very stressful time recently, I think we'd be having very, very careful boring sex if DH had stents inside him. Have fun trying!
'Our hearts are already pregnant' is lovely, we feel the same here too.

Dysgu, house swapping sounds really interesting! Good luck cutting down on the snacks, I've got the world's worst diet so am trying to change it for DS's sake (he eats off my plate so I keep the junk until he goes to sleep, trying to cut it out completely).

Having a really rubbish PMT day, I wish there was something I could do to stop ERTD whilst still being able to get a BFP.

Welcome couch...come and relax here as everyone is really nice! :)
14 months is a lovely age isn't it???

DH is home ...doctor said yes to jsing but not that I know he has stents inside I am having second thoughts!!!

Couchsweetpotato · 08/08/2012 14:31

Hello to everyone. I wonder if I can join you? I am the proud mother of DD, aged 14 months, and this is my first month of TTC #2. Last time it took a few months and I went a bit mad with the temping and charting etc. This time I want to go down the EOD road, and just relax a bit. I would like some company on the journey!

notsoold · 08/08/2012 09:38

I will then look into it Dysgu...i am sure someone wants to stay in a house with teenager boy things!...
Oh I miss the dolls my DD used to have!!! That is another problem with the long gap....all DD toys are in her new flat in her grown up life and all DS toys are hidden away ,because "I am 13 you know!" hidden in a drawer and coming out at night/bored/anxious time
I was impressed with him too, as he only says what really matter to him.As I speak no stop, hence here no stop!!! (like luchtime break in the school playground??)
The most glorious sunshine in Manchester (miracle,right??)

Dysgu · 08/08/2012 08:49

Welcome nosoold hoping that your DH is out of hospital today and doing well. I like that 'our hearts are already pregnant' as that is how we feel - it seems to be taking much longer this this time than with either of 2DDs but then, we are that much older and have put more talk/thought into having a 3rd DC than either of the others.

As for house swapping - we only started this year as I begrudged paying a grand for a mobile home in August! We are limited to going away in school holidays and this works really well. We do it through the NCT site so we swap with other 'normal families' with small-child friendly homes. As for not wanting to come to where you live - the location is less important for us; the girls just love playing with other children's toys and running around different gardens and parks. We normally manage a couple of day trips but otherwise it is just as easy as being at home but with new scenery so keeps the kids happy!

notsoold · 07/08/2012 22:48

Sorry....hiya to all...
Kitten....so will I. Never looked into fertilityfriend!
Dysgu...houseswap??? Interesting! Although can't imagine anybody wanting to come where we live!
Guinea dd ok?
Woman nice to hear from you
Hi to all!!!

notsoold · 07/08/2012 22:33

Hi all
I am writing from phone so I hope it works.
I have been lurking for a while waiting for my first ertd after erpc... and it took so long dh tought I was too stressed and needed a holiday. We went away with ds and sure enough blasted ertd came....
But it was lovely and we came home all relaxed and thinking about our plan ( jsing EOD).
Only thing in the horizon was dh kidney removal in the hospital. That went quite badly so he has stents inserted for the next 3 weeks.
I can see that jsing will be non existent this month....
To get rid of the stents dh ( the most private person ever) said to surgeon that we have to dtd every other day as we are trying to conceive. This from the guy that never says anything relating to his body without blushing- bless him)
Surgeon said to him that dh could wait and then he said ( and I quote) no we can't. Our hearts are already pregnant as my wife says.
Still no jsing and hopefully dh will be out of hospital tomorrow.

Kittenkatzen · 07/08/2012 21:24

Good luck with the healthy eating dysgu I'm doing something similar. Snacking is the killer for me - I tend to confuse boredom with hunger.

Feel like I'm missing out on something now so I'm off to check out myfertilityfriend! Grin

Dysgu · 07/08/2012 21:15

Hi all - again I have been out of contact as we have been away (another houseswap - life is so exciting with two little DDs!) but I have just caught up... sorry to read about the MMCs and hospital stays but hopefully everyone is feeling like it's 'onwards and upwards' and the capes are at the ready.

We did quite well with DTD whilst away - more in the first few days but I think those were the fertile ones. Then DD1 was ill (but it is easier to have an ill child in someone else's house than in a hotel) which meant lots of sleepless nights with high temperatures and sickness. I am unable to sleep unless everyone else in the house is asleep and I wake at the smallest sound too so I managed even less sleep than DD1. Luckily DD2 and DP can sleep through anything (although DP is great at waking very quickly to sort sick!) and they both manage to get back to sleep very quickly too if they are woken up.

Anyway, I have just signed up for myfertilityfriend - only so that I can keep a check on when ERTD arrives as I totally forgot last month. Can't get my head around all the charting so didn't even look and didn't sign up for some course they can send you Hmm

I am also hoping to do something about this 'fat belly' (to quote DD1) of mine as there were scales in the houseswap house and I now know how much I weigh so no pretending any more. I am not going to diet or anything but am going to try hard to stop snacking and especially plan to cut down on sugary snacks and fizzy drinks.

AWomanCalledHorse · 07/08/2012 19:52

Hola all!
Just tried out fertilityfriend as I want somewhere to write all my period dates down...and it tells me I have a 34 day cycle. gah! I know that's longer than normal so gah! I love JS, and the idea of all the OPK/science stuff bores the crap out of me but I'm starting to feel as though it won't happen unless we fluke it.
Only mention as I thought my period was due now/tomorrow but the website thinks it's due at the weekend. I tested this morning & BFN.

hooya, hope you're having a wonderful time...a small part of me also hopes you're on holiday in Skegness, it's a wonderful unisex name Grin

guinea, hope DD is ok now?

Kitten, enjoy using the shag cape, DH is working long nights so no shagging for me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Kittenkatzen · 07/08/2012 10:22

Argh I lost you all - it's been so long since I posted that you fell off my 'I'm On' threads, have to hunt you down you can't escape that easily oh no

guinea boo to the hospital stay, I hope your DD is better now and it wasn't too serious? Definitely time for a 'just out of hosi, glad to be in our own bed JS'!

hooya hope you're having a lovely holiday

Ummm....I don't really think I have much to tell you all really...CD9 here so the shag cape is washed, ironed and ready to go.

notsoold · 07/08/2012 09:21

Sorry to hear about DD guinea.
But calls for a happy js being out of hospital ... :)
Will post more soon...

fryingpantoface · 07/08/2012 09:10

I'm so sorry Guinea. Hope she's feeling better!

Go for a good js now anyways!

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 06/08/2012 22:17

Hi all.

Sorry to hear about the MMCs - praying for clarity and of course BFPs.

Not posted for a while as DD been ill...culminating in her being hospitalised on Friday night. We were let out today and it will certainly be.nice to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Unfortunately my weekend of being in hospital coincided with fertile weekend. Having said that, have had pant snot over last couple of days but have only today got positive on OV stick. Very Confused.

Practisingparent · 05/08/2012 22:40

frying, your DH saying that is a sure fire way to bring about a pregnancy... good luck!Grin

toffeesam · 05/08/2012 21:26

Frying - The right kind of PS always shows up when i have other plans. :-)

fryingpantoface · 05/08/2012 19:14

So yesterday I had the right kinda pant snot, but I wasn't in.

So today we js, so we'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, literally just now, my DH has said that we should put having another baby on hold. He's worried about money. Could be interesting

Showmethemhappyfeet · 05/08/2012 12:00

Hi all, sorry to those of you who have left and come back. Can't imagine how awful it's been.
I ordered my bulk pack of preg tests off eBay on Thursday so as soon as they arrive I will be testing one out and let you all know.

toffeesam · 05/08/2012 11:17

Hooya - have a great time! Holiday JSing is the best Smile
Manda - congratulations! Bonus twins.

Horse - just pee on em all i think i am becoming a POAS obsessive too, I have bought a load of those cheep hormone tests.

Sad I want to send a Wine and Biscuit to those of you who have has MS. Sad

I might have to get some emergancy JSing in as i have just realises my neice and nephew (3 and 5) are coming to stay over the key week! I love 'em but they are exhausting. maybe just very quiet JSing after they have gone to bed Hmm.

Practisingparent · 04/08/2012 20:26

babylann so sorry to see you back on here, iykwim. This thread is a bit mixed with the lucky (wing and mandasand) and unlucky (livismum and babylann) occurring all at once!

DH and I have made up and js the last 2 nights, and very enjoyable js too. Had a night out just the 2 of us last night, and that was so great, I really fancy him at the mo! If Im right about ov earlier, Iv missed the fertility boat this month, DH was really disappointed so will definately be making sure we don't have ill timed arguments and weekends away next month!!!

showme please POAS and let us know!

Happy shagging ladies...Wink

livismum · 04/08/2012 17:17

Hope you have a lovely time Hooya don't forget to document your JSing in case you can do a Posh and Beck's and name offspring after where they were conceived! Grin
