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

Frying and Nicola, sorry about the ov pain! Though i guess it's a good pain, better than AF anyway!

Kitten, we're going to both east and west coasts, currently relaxing in the lounge before boarding! Very very tempted to drag DP off for some JSIng in the showers but he's enjoyed a few beers and not sure it's the best idea!

I am having some minor cramps, wonder if it is ov? Weird, waiting to find out what my cycle is after so long on the pill...

Anyway hope you are all having brilliant JSing weekends!

My OV pain was shocking last weekend, frying, so I empathise totally. Make sure your DH/P spoils you rotten.

Hey!

Well, all yesterday and so far today I'm having horrific cramps. It's just so painful. So it's either ovulation pain or implantation.

even though i dont post much im still here lurking! and hopefully leaving lots of BFP dust behind me!

Hello lovelies!!
I seem to have been away for ages (you even slipped off my "you're on" list and I had to seek you out manually :o)
Anyway congrats times 2 to manda I had also heard that it is a last hurrah for old ovaries which causes so many multiple births in us older ladies though I have not mentioned that to DH yet
babylann and livismum sorry to hear your news :(
Sorry to anyone else I have missed, but hi anyway :)

Anyway ERTD got me in the end but another very odd one. Late(ish) little bleeding, terrible cramps with heavy bleeding and clots, back to little bleeding and so on for two days. Now almost nothing and I am generally a 5 day kind of gal so most mysterious. I think we had a MMC 3 or maybe 2 months ago (in the true JSing spirit I am not too sure :o) so it seems unlikely this is another so I may toddle off to the GP when DS is away at my DM's.
On the plus side, DS is going to my parents for an undetermined length of time (only grandchild syndrome!) The balance between peace and quiet and him having a good time versus a spoilt, over tired, over indulged brat coming home is a fine line but a week or so of leisurely JSing would be great :)
Off to a food festival tomorrow even though the last two we were going to were cancelled because of the weather Hope you all have a great weekend with plenty of JSing :)

Hugs for you babylann and livismum

Showme I think you could have tested 2 weeks ago. Unless your cycles are very long, I would suggest that you may be preggo - so POAS!

Mandasand I am actually due in March, so will have a look for the thread.

Waves to all.

Hi all, this seems to be the busiest thread in conception so hope you don't mind me dropping in with a quick question. I have stopped taking my pill but no AF yet, it's been about 7 weeks since the last one. We have been dtd... A lot. How long should I leave between testing? (no idea about cycles and all that stuff!)

hooya I am VERY jealous of your holiday plans! Are you off to the east or west coast? Either way I hope the weather is lovely to you and you have a fabulous time (with lots of JSing obv )

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow which should be nice - fx for sunshine please!

Evening all!

It's heartbreaking to read these stories - so sorry livismum and babylann - I am very new here but hope I don't have long to get to know you, in the nicest possible way I have known a few people get pg right after mc with no problems, fx that happens to you both!

practising I agree with kitten - make-up JSing could be fun! Or even angry not-made-up-yet JSing

horse hope the N turns to a P!

I am VERY EXCITED here as we are off on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow! Sooo glad to be finished with work which has been pretty stressful lately. And we've already had some quality JSing. I am trying to work out whether we should find a way to JS tomorrow - too scared to try mile high but we are stopping over for 6 hours somewhere so maybe... either way, in 48 hours or so I will be in the USA! Woohoo!

What's everyone up to this weekend?

babylann and livismum am so sorry to hear your news - puts things into perspective and hopefully all will work out next time.

I am going to keep lurking to find out what happens for everyone!!!!

Thanks all :) the positives are I can focus on losing some more weight in the next couple of weeks and also have a bottle of wine when my friend comes to visit on Tuesday!

Feeling a lot better recovery wise, don't think the anaesthetic was out of my system yesterday as I was still shattered and couldn't even tidy the living room!

Morning ladies

babylann and livismum at seeing you both back here again, am gutted for you both. I hope you both bugger off again very soon - in the nicest possible way of course, with two shiny new BFPs to take with you. Happy to have you both back in the meantime though

practising hope things with your DH are better soon - you never know, a nice make-up JS could be just the thing to clear the air

I did read everyone else's updates but as I'm on the phone app I can't flick back up thread once I've started typing which is annoying as now I've forgotten what you all said! So I'll settle for just a big cheery wave and good morning to you all!

Hi to baby and livismum...sorry to see you back so soon, in the nicest possible way. You both seem very calm and positive, which I admire.

Fx to quick BFPs for you both.

Hi everyone :) Also one who people may remember, I was the creator of this thread's 9th part, and got my BFP after being a member of the thread for 15 months on/off. However I sadly found out last week that I'd had an mmc and went for my erpc yesterday and am now preparing to climb back aboard this old thread which looked after me so well for those months of JSing, as despite my eagerness for a baby getting much stronger since getting to 11 weeks pg and then getting our bad news, JSing still is and will always be my method of conception!

Can't say I'm glad to be back, but I wouldn't rather be in any other conception thread :) Not going to start JSing for at least a couple of weeks (I know I'm supposed to wait until ERTD has passed at least once but with me having cycles of anything between 30 to 90+ days long I'm not willing to wait that long), and will take pg tests until they're negative before we do start to make sure when I do get a BFP I will know it's a new pregnancy and not hormonal after effects of the last one.

livismum sorry to hear about your mmc, i can only imagine how heartbreaking that is. Im glad you can carry on ttc straight away.

wing been away from a computer for a week, but very many congratulations to you and mandasand (do your twins count as 2 BFP's?). Such great news for you both.

child glad you are feeling more positive, its a weight off when you can just trust the situation into Gods hands.

All of this has really made me think thats a BFP is just the start of a chance to have a baby in 9 months iykwim, and that its not just plain sailing!

Back in the Practising household, dh and I fell out last saturday and are really only just making up (he bought me roses today, I love flowers!). So no js here, and I think i spied pant snot today, so will have to make my peace with probably not being pregnant for my 31st birthday , but at least I can have a few drinks!

Stuck there's a lot to be said for listening to your body. EoD can be a bit mechanical but it does depend on what else is going on - tiredness, colds etc. See how you feel after your ERTD.

Hey Woman I think I'm really going to miss not having family close by (both sides in NW, 3-4 hours away) when the babies arrive. Be lovely to have my mum come and tidy up and make her wonderful soup! I have told some girlfriends, mostly those who are preggers or who have kids. And we are about to break the news to some close mates over the weekend (they know we've been trying and they are going to go mad about us being preg already, and then when they hear it's twins ? hmm!) I've not told work yet. And we've not told families because we want to wait until after 12-week scan, just in case anything's wrong - we don't want to upset them. (They don't even know we're trying so they are going to be so excited, especially our mums!) It's been really hard not to tell my mum, but because of past circumstances (her many MCs, and my own history, it's safest not to say anything till we're sure). Oh, go on ? PIAR for the hell of it!

Thanks for the congrats Child - very sweet of you especially when things are a little bit uncertain with you. Are you in the due in April thread? Sorry I've slightly lost track with things. The March thread is really reassuring and jolly.

Sorry to hear about your story Livismum. Apparently you're quite fertile after a MC, so hope you can get back into JSing soon and get another BFP and a happy ending

Hey ladies I'm rather tentatively peering back around the door! For those of u new here I was over here in march/April I was lucky to get a bfp quickly but then sadly discovered I had a mmc at my 12 week scan they suspected a molar pregnancy which would mean holding off ttc for 6 months, but test results didn't show the abnormality so I think I'll be able to ttc straight away. So mixed feelings about being back, sad, but happy it's sooner than I thought iyswim, had my fist ertd last week (while camping, not ideal!)
So anyways hello everyone! Poor DH not had much action lately so should be happy to get back to JSing!

Awww stuck sorry it got you :( it really is so easy to become obsessed isn't it. Good idea to take a step back and get your head back straight if it's getting too much. Hope the cold buggers off and you're feeling brighter soon!

child glad you're feeling a bit more at peace now

Congrats x 2 Mandasand !

Everyone keeps telling me that I will have twins - what?!

I am ok now, just had a shaky few days, pretty convinced that I would MC. I did have some bleeding this week. I went to my GP who said 'there's nothing we can do before 8 weeks and it's too early to scan.' Which strangely put me at peace about it - if I have no control I know I can leave it with God (phew).

Horse I'm looking at you... Unless anyone else is PIAR sooner than Horse!

Well ERTD was due in 3 days but I think its come early
Although I'm not doing the temp/charting/sticks thing I think I've been a bit obsessed last couple of months so I think I may take a step back from the EOD and back to doing it when the mood takes us. Logically I know the answer is lots of JS but I'm going to 'listen' to my body and initiate only if I'm feeling horny or DP initiates and I fancy it.
That said I've been feeling full of cold all week so maybe I just need some decent sleep and then I'll feel energised again!

However ladies, that doesn't mean you should slow down and I want to hear of more JSing and BFP's from the rest of you!!!!

horse 2-4 days, ooh exciting! How are you going to distract yourself from testing?

I am trying totally failing to prepare myself for this being a long process and for the JSing becoming less fun. But while it still is I plan to enjoy it

Woman, yes I guess that is the bright side of being the size of a whale, hehe! I intend to hibernate all winter! It will be interesting to see how much RL support materialises close to where we live. Our families and big bunch of friends are 3-4 hours away in the NW. We have a few friends with kids close by, but not many. Most of my mates are childless women who will either, I predict, be hugely helpful or may disappear in horror! We shall see. It goes against my principles but we may get a cleaner for the last month of preg and a couple of months after. This is one piece of advice that the twins threads really advise - you can't move or sleep much in the last months, and you're not going to get a lot of sleep after. A lot of people even get a sort of doula to stick around for a couple of months after too. I plan to join the local TAMBA (twins and multiples) club before I give birth as that, apparently, is a good way of meeting supportive others (and getting second-hand stuff). But, that is all speaking very optimistically - there's a long road ahead!

YAY for pantsnot. May the force be with you, ladies!
