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!

Welcome upthere

Am looking forward to the live results of the "wing & top piar show" on Saturday then! Smile

Well I just met a friend for a drunk after work, nursed one glass of wine all night while she necked a bottle and then carried helped her to the tube station....sign of things to come?!

NicolaHazel · 26/07/2012 20:47

Hello to upthere too...and to vicious who I accidentally forgot to welcome yesterday (too caught up in work hell Sad).

Only one more day left at work this week, hurrah...wish I could forget it existed, wing, that would be great. Once I become a millionaire tomorrow night I can do that though, ha ha! Grin

Oh, wing, my friend's daughter had a birthday party in Southport last Sat...how weird would it be if that was your niece?!

WingDefence · 26/07/2012 20:38

Yes I forgot to say welcome to upthere and I would be in sisterhood with Nicola and Guinea with work/ deadline woes except I've successfully managed to forget all about work yesterday and today :)

Top, you're on Wink Post results 10-ish on Saturday morning?!

topbannana · 26/07/2012 19:54

Sorry, welcome to upthere as well :)

topbannana · 26/07/2012 19:52

DS is still very much alive thanks :)
STILL no sign of ERTD and I had convinced myself after last nights cramps that it was on it's way, but as yet no sign (or any more cramps) In any case DH and I have decided we are shit scared anxious about a possible BFP after so long so we are currently in denial Wink
An early night on the cards tonight as we are both shattered, no JSing tonight in this camp!
PS- wing if ERTD does not turn up we could have a synchronised PIAR at the weekend, a sort of Olympic tribute?! :o

swimmingnotdrowning · 26/07/2012 19:12

Ps hope top and child both still alive!

swimmingnotdrowning · 26/07/2012 19:06

guinea how did you do it?!

And wing totally should piar at the weekend)

WingDefence · 26/07/2012 18:16

Hi shaggers! You'll be glad to know that I kept my mouth shut over at my friend's house so my seekret identity is safe bruhahahahahaha Wink

'ERTD' has left the building. Trouble is, I'm really not sure it ever entered - well not in a 'sit down, put your bloody feet up and stay a few days, tab' sort of way. I'm thinking of PIAR at the weekend actually

Anyway, I have more to say but must get mine and DS's tea out of the oven (fish fingers and hash browns because I just can't be bothered tonight) and I've already burnt my hand twice I'm the process of cooking it. Dinner fail...

ViciousChicken · 26/07/2012 17:37

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes. I'll have to get into the swing of checking in a bit more frequently so I can get to know who's who. Love the JS approach, and the bf certainly does. It's funny, took him a while to be persuaded to go for it (he has 2 older children) but now he's more excited than me!

upthere · 26/07/2012 16:39

oh like this thread, hi everyone

am 34, SAHM of 2 DCs, aged 3 and 5. Both would be at nursery/school when newborn would arrive

really Broody for a third and final baby. cant describe it but it gets worse each month

very much like the JS approach, especially on a rainy stormy evening after a lovely dinner and wine with DH

so I shall bookmark this thread and think some more about TTC. #3

currently playing with the due date calculator

oh also remembered we have our 9th wedding anniversary soon, DH mentioned at stay at a posh hotel in France/Spain...could be a perfect JS location to remember!!!

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 26/07/2012 14:28

Doesn't work...must stop procrastinating.

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 26/07/2012 14:28

Just wanted to know if that was how you did it.

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 26/07/2012 14:27

Wow, so much to catch up on.

Goodness me Top your evening out seemed to end dramatically! I don't think I would have attempted to walk to the bus stop/home in heels, but then I did have knee surgery last December and can barely sit in heels!

Went to the Drs this morning with strange rash thing. Surprise surprise they didn't know what it was, but I was prescribed antihistamines for the itchiness (my neck has claw marks in it!). She asked me if I was pregnant and I said 'your guess is as good as mine' (not what she was expecting me to say methinks). I then told her about TTC and weird scarily short ERTD preceded by 4ww). She said I should do another test before taking the tablets because I could still be pg. I strangely don't want to PIAR because I hate getting BFNs. Infact I feel like I may not want to PIAR ever again and think I'll just wait until I get pg and can feel the baby kicking!

Is it just me or does anyone else have HPT phobia?!

Being pregnant is different for everybody Hooya but I feel certain that there will be bits of it you'll love (beautiful bonding experience when baby starts kicking) and bits of it you'll hate (desire to rip aforementioned baby out of your belly button for making you uncomfortable). It is definitely worth it IMO. I am TTC DC3 and I am a HORRENDOUS pregnant person. DH is dreading it!

Think we may JS tonight. Have given up on charting, such as it is...having not managed to proceed after my first temp check on day 1! I have, however, invested in Wilkinson's finest OPKs (£2.88 for 5 btw). Not to replace the JSing like something method but I would like to know whether I am infact ovulating.

Sorry for the super long post, I am currently meant to be writing an intro chapter for my thesis. I had a supervision this morning where my supervisors wanted to know what I had been writing. I felt like printing out the thread and handing it to them but I didn't think they'd see the funny side Grin. If anyone asks, I've been 'positioning' myself within the sociological literature Wink ...

topbannana · 26/07/2012 11:54

Hmm A few stomach cramps last night but all gone now and still no sign of ERTD. Currently on a bus on a "day out" DS and I have not killed each other yet so all is still going to plan :o

swimmingnotdrowning · 26/07/2012 11:13

Ps boo to ERTD that not only spoils things by showing up uninvited but then misbehaves while it out stays its welcome - hope it pulls its socks up.

swimmingnotdrowning · 26/07/2012 11:10

Morning all.

dysgu hope you had fun and yay for queenie.

wing those are some top MN thread tips - any more for us newbies?

Do chickens even pee at all?

Kittenkatzen · 26/07/2012 09:22

Morning jsers Smile

Lol at all the chicken/egg talk, that does sound a bit easier doesn't it!

Thanks wing and horse for the colouring tips, will take a look at that sounds very handy especially the bookmarking tip!

Nicola Angry to work being so busy for you, hopefully it quietens down soon! And Grin at cracking open the conceive plus like a celebration!

Wing my office is by St Paul's cathedral so not a million miles from the Strand!

Am on phone so sorry if I've missed loads!

fryingpantoface · 26/07/2012 08:01

Morning all!

No JS here. DH was looking after ds yesterday and his mom asked her to help him do something. Long story short it took all day. He came straight from helping his mom to my work so we could go see Batman. We saw the movie, then went home. BUT there was a fire in a building on our route home, so the buses were diverted, so we couldn't get the bus until we had walked 2 miles down the road (I was in heels!), then the bus didn't turn up so we got a taxi home.

It took us 2 hours to get home. So got home about 11, and then just crashed. I'm so glad the baby stayed at my MILs. Up for work at 6, so now i'm nackard.

No JS for us, prob not tonight because i've got SW and dh is going to play pool. I'm just so bloody tired!

and that's the end of the pity party!

NicolaHazel · 26/07/2012 07:26

Morning all :-)

No DTD last night as I was working until almost 10 again...we are having a really shit time at work right now. I need to get pregnant as I really want time off!

But, I have promised H2B I won't work tonight, so I'm going to entice him to bed and crack open the Conceive Plus for the first time! Fx it does its job!

How is everyone today? I get the feeling there's a few shag capes about! :-)

Hooya · 25/07/2012 23:28

Morning all!

horse I wish we did just lay eggs, I absolutely hate ERTD even though it seems even off the pill mine is almost painless! And I am quite frightened of actually being pg, so sitting on an egg would be preferable!

wing I'm with you on women's football, and always feel like I'm letting the side down but it's just nowhere near as good as the mens' game!

practising agree on afternoon shagging, though for morning breath there is always a (ahem) non face-to-face position! Or sometimes I say "just going to brush my teeth" which is probably the worst chat-up line ever Blush

Dysgu hope you had a fun evening!

I have now decided ERTD is formally over and JSing will recommence this evening after a rubbish day of meetings and a work dinner thing that as usual I can't really be bothered to go to. Will be spending some of it sending rude emails to DP, I expect!

WingDefence · 25/07/2012 23:03

Hmm, that's not a bad point but it's only been 18-20 degrees up here these past few days and I've been drinking a fair amount (same as normal I think but who knows!?!).

Thanks anyway my dears. Hope you all got your shag capes on those who were planning to!

Practisingparent · 25/07/2012 22:18

Top fx for you

Wing as woman suggests, dehydration could be the reason for strange ERTD. Mine was lighter and more concentrated looking when we were on holiday in a hot country.Confused

woman afternoon shagging is lovely, think its my favorite, particularly if there is no rush, makes me feel very relaxed for rest of day. Morning I always worry about morning breath (not just me, but dh), and evening I usually feel too tired! Do not get many opportunities at moment though.

Scheduled for js tonight, must try not to go to bed too late!

AWomanCalledHorse · 25/07/2012 20:14

Kitten, hope wing explained it alright, didn't realise there was a choice of colours!
Wing, that's a very odd souding ERTD. Does dehydration affect 'flow'? Could it be that?
I noticed Olympic football was on earlier and was 'YAY'!, but then noticed it was womans football and was 'Boo! Booooring'. I don't feel bad as there are certain sports I'd rather watch the womens than the mens..

top, glad you're still not feeling ERTD-y! Fingers are still crossed for you!

swimming it can't hurt to go the Dr and have a pre 1yr wait talk. You know it's the sort of thing that will get you a BFP. Plus, if your Dr is an arse about it all you've got time to find a decent fertility friendly one. IYSWIM?
I went to my GP about heavy periods, they perscribed a months worth of drugs as a test & told me to come back after my next period...then I got my BFP, Grin now the drugs are free as I'm still under maternity exemption, hurrah!

Hooya, would a chicken need to POAS? do they ovulate before laying an egg Confused it would be pretty weird if we were all waiting to lay an egg, imagine if you just laid one at night & woke up with one!?

We had use for an afternoon shagcape here Grin but now DH is working & we'll be like ships in the night again until the 2nd week of August. Nicola, good luck DTD tonight!
