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!

Hooya, my 'leftover' (we need a phrase for that) normal plops out the next day (vair glamorous), so it could be either! So helpful.

frying, innit great when you have decent sex instead of 'Impregnate me!!!' sex.

mandasand Shock Well at least you won't be big & uncomfortable in the heigh of summer heat. Hope you've got lots of RL support you can bark orders at to pick stuff up for you? Grin

ERTD is due in the next 2-4 days, I want to PIAR so badly

Wow congrats mandasand - must have been an amazing moment to find out there were two!!

Exciting development in my world today - PANT SNOT!! Does that mean I'm oving? Or just (TMI alert) leftover from JSing last night (exhausted after staying up to watch the cycling but unexpectedly great)? More tonight I guess Grin

fryingpantoface · 02/08/2012 14:29

Congrats Manda!

DH and I js a couple of nights ago. twas lovely

mandasand · 02/08/2012 12:44

thanks, lovelies! fingers crossed for some more JSing BFPs this summer! xx

Kittenkatzen · 02/08/2012 09:14

TWINS wow! Double congratulations mandasand how exciting :o

NicolaHazel · 01/08/2012 18:57

I'm so pleased for you Manda.

Apart from 2 years age difference, and I was on the combined pill, we have similar stories. Fx I'm as lucky as you :-)

And Woman, I'm not sure...probably something to do with a last hurrah, I imagine. Plus assisted conception thrown in. I'm sure I read it somewhere on MN though.

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 01/08/2012 18:55

Wow congratulations Mandasand!
(That would be my secretly hoped for scenario - only one pregnancy Wink although I do realise it may be slightly more tricky and uncomfortable - hope all goes well)

mandasand · 01/08/2012 18:51

cheers, ladies! I'm 37 and I fell pregnant after about three months of coming off progesterone-only pill. Was on that 4 months or so after coming off years of Depo injections. Was told it could take months for fertility to return, so this was all a bit unexpected!

Yes, I've read that after 35 your ovaries start firing out the eggs! I think the stats no doubt include all those who have assistance with fertility, but there is something about the ovaries wanting to retire, perhaps!

TERRIFIED about how big I'm going to get! Keep freaking myself out with Google images of heavily and multiply pregnant women!

Mine are in separate sacs with separate placentas, so they are the least problematic kind of twins (yay!) This means that I will have scans every month once things get doing, rather than every two. I understand that I'll be too big to move in about 19 weeks, and it's going to be another 5 before I tell my boss (he goes on holiday the day I have my 12-week scan!) so I'm hoping he'll have a sense of humour about how much time I'll need off work. There was me thinking I'd work up till the end etc!! I'm not even sure I'll be able to reach the keyboard in a few months! Oh bloody hell ? ! Anyway, long road ahead, nothing's certain, etc.

So, be encouraged in your shagging, ladies! Anything can happen! xx

AWomanCalledHorse · 01/08/2012 18:39

Yay you & your over-firing ovaries Mandasand, big congrats on the twins..may you have a boring, safe & not growing too massive pregnancy Grin
How many extra appointments/scans are you expected to have? and another Grin because that's such amazing news!!

Nicola, interesting fact..is that because over 35's are more likely to have aided conception or because your body just goes a bit egg happy towards the 'end' (how bloody depressing) of your natural fertility? Or something I've missed!!

Had rare steak for lunch, that and the binge drinking of 2 weekend's ago should be enough to have luck on my side this month! I might go pop some ibuprofen & eat lots of soft cheese just to be sure....
Hooya, well now that someone thinks you look up-duffed you can't dissapoint them!

Hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics?
Great part of SAHM-ing & grumpy baby means I've watched basically everything I've wanted too!

Happy Hump Day everyone (Wednesday should be official JS day).

NicolaHazel · 01/08/2012 17:53

Wow! Congratulations!

I'd love to have twins :-)

Just as a matter of interest, how old are you and how long after coming off contraception did you fall?

About 20% of pregnancies to over-35s are twins, apparently.

mandasand · 01/08/2012 17:04

Hello lovelies, just checking in on you all :-) Hope you've been at it like rabbits. Now I don't want to brag ... but I think I have to tell you that I am holding this thread entirely responsible for the fact I'm expecting twins, especially as it was (90% likely) two separate eggs that got sperminated! I think it's because my aged ovaries were firing out lots of eggs soon after coming off contraception. DH's new middle name is Supersperm. Very early days yet, but I'm 9 weeks so chance of MC is down to 2%, I'm told. So, keep the faith, friends, and keep on JSing! Smile

Hooya · 01/08/2012 14:11

SMA swimming - I like it!

Nice to know that out there, others are worrying about pant snot!

horse good luck, I hope ERTD stays away and the SMA works!!

Must focus properly on JSing for a few days as I might be due to ov soon...

In other news, I had such bad wind today that I looked proper pregnant! I caught someone looking, rather unfortunately as I was rubbing my sore tummy! Now I bet they think I am upduffed, oops...

AWomanCalledHorse · 01/08/2012 10:33

frustrated, I don't know why but I have to say 'PANT SNOT Hoo ha ha' (like they say Shark Bait Hoo HaHa in finding nemo).

SMA is good swimming, good & the baby milk company..what could be more prophetic!

ERTD is due this week...

OP posts:
Kittenkatzen · 01/08/2012 10:06

I like SMA swimming :)

frustrated I reckon the egg aisle is the perfect place to be shouting PANT SNOT - very fitting! Every time I see ewcm written down, I always think "ewwwww-cm"....

hooya the first month I came off the pill I had epic pant snot, but since then not much at all....not sure what everyone else has experienced. I hadn't given it much thought but now I'm worrying Confused

swimmingnotdrowning · 01/08/2012 01:06

Positive Mental Attitude. We need a JS specific equivalent. Any offers? Shagtastic Mental (Bodily) attitude?

Hooya · 01/08/2012 00:00

Thanks kitten, I hope you're right!

Nicola what's PMA, forgive my ignorance!

Grin at frustrated though I dare you to yell it out in Asda and see what happens Wink

Since most people where I am don't speak English (and even if they do are unlikely to know the term 'pant snot') I probably could yell it out randomly and get away with it!

On that subject, I haven't had any yet since I came off the pill, wonder if that's a bad sign?

frustratedpants · 31/07/2012 23:49

sorry ladies I have the overwhelming urge to shout PANT SNOT every time i see or think "ewcm" and just need to get the flipping words out of my head before I yell them out in the middle of the egg isle in Asda

NicolaHazel · 31/07/2012 07:27

PMA from Kitten! :-)

Kittenkatzen · 31/07/2012 07:24

hooya it's WHEN you get upduffed, not IF....everyone on the thread WILL be getting their bfp soon. I have decided Grin

Hooya · 30/07/2012 23:45

Morning all!

Laughing at the ERTD randiness - I think DP was secretly excited about mine as he'd get some other "action" than JSing! I do hope he doesn't get bored TTC, he's (TMI alert) not used to having to direct his swimmers to a particular location, if you know what I mean!!

Thanks all for sperm advice - EOD sounds more manageable to me! Not sure i have the stamina to do it like something, thanks Horse for solving that MN mystery for me!

kitten it's quite ridonculous how many bumps you see as soon as you are TTC. And since I live in Asia, lots of gorgeous skinny pregnant women who just look like normal but with a perfect bump stuck on the front. I think I will shock them if I do get upduffed and walk around looking like the side of a house!

Right, off to work for me. Hope you all had a lovely night of JSing / go whimming for those with ERTD!

frustratedpants · 30/07/2012 21:40

Will tell DH to "go whim"
New code for alone time Grin

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 21:24

Go whim?

Give him!

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 21:23

Lol frustrated my DH is the same - he was dropping hints a bit earlier and got a short "not likely mate" for his troubles. Poor DH, maybe I should offer to go whim some alone time like horse's DH Grin

frustratedpants · 30/07/2012 21:17

Can someone explain why DH is in-the-mood to JS on the day ertd arrives? Confused have cramps and liable to thump DH if he comes near me Blush

AWomanCalledHorse · 30/07/2012 19:37

Oh Kitten,

hooya, something (she of the phrase shagging like something) was at it with DP 2/3 times a day minimum & she managed a BFP fairly quickly, but I've heard the same as kitten about eod. Which is why DH is encourage to have some 'alone' time if I'm not around. Grin

Stuck, hope you feel better soon, sounds like you're paying for a nice weekend!

top, still hoping you're feeling alright?
