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

AWomanCalledHorse · 27/06/2012 14:03

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!

Hello - have completed a full day in pyjamas! Maybe not a completely full day but enough to justify putting in a bill! The rest of the time this afternoon was mumsnet!

I have no idea about sperm production - this month we have pretty much done EOD, so we'll see. Its been quite odd - we used to have shagfests of several times in the one day, and then quite a few days off - so its been odd to be a bit organised and make sure we do it regularly, rather than just when we used to feel like it. Here's a TMI comment though - he's getting less BJ's because I see that as a waste of sperm Grin but I still get the equivalent Smile lucky me!!!

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 18:43

Afternoon all Smile

hooya I've heard that every other day is best in order to a) keep a steady supply of swimmers hanging around up there, and b) make sure they have time to regenerate and are of good quality. No idea how scientifically accurate that actually is though!

Well, ertd arrived this afternoon whilst I was at the gym.....obviously then on my 2 min walk back to the office I walked past no less than FIVE ladies with lovely bumps SadAngryEnvy so someone up there was having a laugh at my expense today.

Jealous, me?!! Yeah.

Hooya · 30/07/2012 16:08

Hello all!

stuck do you find you can work in your pyjamas? Every time I'm working from home (10pm conference calls and the like) I end up a bit too chilled out in my pjs - once realised I was chairing a call while complaining on facebook about how boring it was - oops!

frying just doing nothing sounds lovely! I did that most of Sat after ridiculous early start for Olympics, and it was bloody brilliant!

On a completely different note, can any of you clever people offer me any advice about, erm, sperm? How long does your average man take to 'brew' a new batch? I am wondering if lots of JSing is just pointless e.g. if we're up for it twice in one day is the second one just a waste and we should really just wait til the next day? This will not be an issue for long, it's just new TTC excitement! I am avoiding googling going mental so thought I would ask your advice instead!

fryingpantoface · 30/07/2012 10:12

I hope you had fun anyway Stuck!

Today, i'm waiting in for a delivery from Next, and then going to just do nothing

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 30/07/2012 07:49

Congratulations wing
And a Torch for banana sounds like you are going through the mill - I hope it sorts itself out, and good luck to all other JS'ers.

I've just come home from a weekend away. Had a lovely Saturday - cleaning and tidying up our rental flat for some new tenants, then round to a good friend for tea and a play with their lovely 10 month old and then a raucous boozy night out with DP in our old haunts in Bristol. Got a great message next day from friends that I looked 'glowing' and did I have any news for them - unfortunately I think it was more to do with the cold that fully appeared yesterday. So I kind of hope I'm not PG this month as I had a fair bit of alcohol on Saturday and yesterday I took some cold remedies...

So now 'working' from home as I don't want to go into office as I feel rubbish and am using the reasoning that I don't want to infect anyone. This is first time since being freelance I've been ill and I really don't want to take the time off - I'm hoping that I can get some work done in my pyjamas so I can still get paid!

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 07:27

Ooh nicola get you hobnobbing with relatives of the stars Grin. I see your 80s popstar and raise you Matt Bellamy's cousin rents office space from my DH.....anyone else got a (less tenuous!) claim to fame around here?!

child hope you're feeling a bit brighter this morning, maybe putting "voice" to your concerns here would help you feel more comfortable?

NicolaHazel · 30/07/2012 06:54

On a vaguely related note, I used to work with Rick Astley's brother!

Hope you're feeling more positive today, child.

AWomanCalledHorse · 30/07/2012 05:07

Congratulations wing!!

Top, very sorry :( it's so bloody depressing when all the symptoms point one way & it goes to ERTD.

Welcome toffee!

Rick Astley frying? If that doesn't get you in the mood for JS I don't know what will. I second the motion that it shall be tops turn next month/this month/when her body stops arguing with her

child, I hope you're ok? We're here for you if you need to talk about it all? Fingers are crossed for your uneventul, boring pregnancy & painfree labour. x

Thinking of you top. Hope pant-watching eases off so you can sleep.

And fx for child feeling more peaceful

topbannana · 29/07/2012 22:10

Thanks all :)
child any reason in particular? Hope all is OK at your end? Thanks

toffeesam · 29/07/2012 21:42

Fingers crossed top. :-)

ChildOfThe1980s · 29/07/2012 18:55

Super congrats Wing and I'm thinking of you top.

I am six weeks now, and not feeling confident about this baby at all.

fryingpantoface · 29/07/2012 18:04

Hey all!

Today we went swimming with ds, and it was lovely. later on i fully intend to don my shag cape. This friday i'm going to a here and now concert and perfoming will be Rick Astley, Bananarama, Toyah et al. That's on the friday night, but according to my app (i know, i know) Sat is THE NIGHT! So i'm gonna get me some eod just in case :)

Top, i know it's frustrating. Before i got preg with ds, i only had a 2 day cycle in the December, found out i was pregnant in the Jan. So it can just be a wtf pregnancy. BUT, you and me kid, we're in it together! (not literally, because that'd take some explaining with DH, but you know what i mean) I hereby proclaim that it's Top's turn next month. Grin

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 17:32

I love afternoon JSing :-)

Could be implantation, Kitten!

God knows what's going on with your cycle, top, fx it ends with a BFP at some point.

Kittenkatzen · 29/07/2012 17:21

Afternoon all, welcome toffeesam come a join in the madness, you're in good company!

wing make sure you pop back and keep us all updated on tinywing :o

top I'm frustrated for you! I've heard the phrase "wtf cycle" around here and I think it definitely applies to you this month!

Well we js'd this afternoon, just for fun as af due any day now. A little spotting afterwards so I reckon ertd is in the neighbourhood.

topbannana · 29/07/2012 16:54

Well, after all the hysterical teeth gnashing and wailing of yesterday........nothing Hmm
Currently engaged in half hourly trips to the loo to check if the old hag HAS properly arrived but as of 30 minutes ago no sign. Does not really explain yesterdays BFN but tomorrow will be the date of my longest cycle EVER (since I have been keeping notes anyway) and still no proper ERTD feelings- WTF?!!!
Cannot even begin to imagine that I may be PG now and have no desire to clutch at straws so WILL NOT be testing or anything until next weekend. In the meantime, its off to the loo again :)

WingDefence · 29/07/2012 14:28

Just popped back to say thanks all and Swimming I was looking at that psalm (139 13-18) this morning and it made me feel quite peaceful, even though I don't know what is in store for the next few months.

Right, back to lurking Wink

swimmingnotdrowning · 29/07/2012 11:24

Congratulations wing! It is a miracle. We'll say a prayer for you here too (i love the bit in psalms where it says that God knits a baby together in the womb - he's working on your bfp's stitches right now)

Welcome toffee. I'm relatively new on here and hanging out with a bunch of similarly crazy strangers really does seem to help.

Sounds like there is lots of JSing this weekend. Hope that means lots of BFPs soon!

toffeesam · 29/07/2012 10:14

Wing - your thread. Gave me hope. Congratulations.

Thanks for the welcome, i feel i may be on here for some time. Body is just playing tricks. Woke to af this morning.

It's hard not to feel green, my friend and i started trying the same time and she deliverd last night. Happy but green all at once.

Oh well another month of headstands. :-)
I'm sure wing will take some of you with her next month.

This is my first time mn, you can't get this info anywhere else. You stopped me from being a complete nutter yesterday, thank you.

Hooya · 29/07/2012 02:16

Hello all!

Congratulations Wing very very exciting! So funny, I just shouted out to DP "yay someone on the thread is pg"!

Hello to toffee Smile

top sending all positive thoughts for next month. New to this I'm just realising how cruel it can be, and can't believe how much I wish a load of strangers will get upduffed very very soon!

Here just more JSing, remembered to tilt my hips afterwards last night so thanks to all on here for reminding me!

Now just getting ready for holidays in a week - two whole weeks of no work except secret blackberry checking while DP is sleeping and loads of shagging! Grin

Kittenkatzen · 28/07/2012 22:30

That should have said looking not poking!

Kittenkatzen · 28/07/2012 22:29

OMG wing congratulations that brilliant news!! GrinGrin the bfp count may be finally poking up for this thread after all - pass that torch on please!

top Sad Sad ertd is an spiteful old witch isn't she? Sorry she got you this time after all.

Did everyone have a lovely day today? The weather was fab here and I'm a bit pink, oops...I had a tshirt with a cut out back on so my tan lines look ridiculous Smile

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 28/07/2012 22:09

Oh my goodness. I don't look at this thread for one day and a BFP!! Congratulations Wing fab news. Give it 6 months and I'll come and do a Pampered Chef baby shower for you Wink!

After my strange 2 day ertd, and upon the advice of the Dr, I poas yesterday...bfn as I thought it would be.

Sorry to hear about ertd top, It's really disappointing Sad.

We may JS in a minute tonight but OH is tired so I'll have to use my extra special shag cape powers of persuasion.

My friend is pg with dc4 and is looking blooming, hard not to be a bit Envy at the same time as being pleased for her...especially as we were kind of hoping to be pg at the same time (we are that sad yes!)

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday. I'm very much looking forward to Church tomorrow (think I'll have a word with Him and see if He can sort us all out Grin.

topbannana · 28/07/2012 21:53

Welcome toffee and look a little upthread at wing's experiences :)

Well DH and I have just wept like schoolgirls stood up at our first dance. Surprised by the depth of feeling that this last month has conjured up and in a strange way, we seem even closer afterwards, despite our obvious failings (yet again) in the conception department.

Have spent the afternoon listening to music videos on YouTube and following random links, finally culminating in Katy Perry- seems like time to quit really! :o

toffeesam · 28/07/2012 19:25

I have been TTC for a year now and adopted the method of JS. This month i was 2 days late, then as i was getting ready to POAS, AF arrived. Gutted. turns out that AF only lasted an hour or so then stopped and has not returned after 24h. I have never had this happen and am being a wimp about the whole thing. I dont think that swolen and achey boobs are helping my mood any. Has this ever happend to anyone else? is it just the body playing silly buggers? Is POAS pointless after any bleeding?Confused
