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

989 replies

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 again - I have only caught up with the latest posts on the last page so far, look like I have about 3 more pages to read through to see what arrived on has been happening.

Still, hurrah it is the summer holiday! The last week of school was crazy and I am sure we all felt like we were chasing our tails to stand still (mixed metaphors there!) and then I think every teacher was in this week for 2 days just to get to the point of finishing stuff for the holidays.

but now the holiday and the sun (and the Queen!) have arrived on the island so everything is good.

ERTD also arrived last week (just in time fro Leavers' Prom doh!) so we are trying again this month (hopefully tonight if we can get the kids out of the bath and into bed!)

WingDefence · 25/07/2012 19:41

Swimming I forgot to say good luck if you do decide to go to the Dr. You could always say you've been trying for a year already if you really want to get seriously checked out...?

WingDefence · 25/07/2012 19:39

Evening shaggers!

So much to catch up on. These comments are not necessariy in the right order!
Top what an arse about the BFN. It's nt over until the ERTD sings though...!

Kitten whereabouts do you work in C. London? When I'm down for work my offices are just off the Strand...

For anyone who doesn't know, for customising your threads, click on the 'customise' link just under Mumsnet Talk at the top of the thread. I personally have the OP in olive green and me lavender/light pink.
The absolute best thing though is to have the bookmark facility set. Especially for giant threads like this! Once you've set it, you'll see that if you hover over the very bottom right of a post (eg the last line of a post, put your finger or mouse pointer over to the right) al click on the bookmark link. Then whenever you come back to the link it automatically takes you to the bookmark. When you set it again it forgets the previous one. Genius!

Welcome Vicious! Love the fact that there is a northern contingency on here as I am an honorary one even if I am still trying to hang onto my southern vowels...! Grin Obviously once we are all upduffed, Southport is going to be the place for a meet-up!

Nicola I went through an awful patch of past-midnight working l
I the last couple of months. It's slacked off a bit now but will ramp up again next week. Might also have something to do with my procrastination

Hooya I have no idea what ERTD is doing in my case either. * TMI alert Normally after the first day I'm a tampon-every-2/3-hours type girl for the next couple of days then it slows down for a day or so then stops. This time it's been 2x half tampons (IYKWIM?) a day, dark brown with v v dark red almost black (WTF!) just on the tip of the tampon. It's really odd. Of course, saying all this means that it'll arrive with a BOOM in the morning but that's better that it just sodding around like this. End of TMI *

Sorry anyone I have left out :(

I took DS to the Sandcastle waterpark in Blackpool today and we had a FAB time! DH is away with work tonight so I have Wine and am about to watch BINTM because although I love watching football and this will sound treacherous, I find women's footy dull Blush

Hooya · 25/07/2012 12:34

Evening all!

top boo to BFN and rubbish pharmacist, but glad that hope lives on!

stuck beach buggy sounds awesome, Grin for donuts!

horse chuckling at the thought of a chicken, horse, kitten and guinea pig fighting it out for a BFP - now have comical image of an actual chicken trying to POAS!

Here it was a rubbish day at work and ERTD is just teasing me with "now you see me, now you don't" .

NicolaHazel · 25/07/2012 12:25

Afternoon all!

So...you're a beach menace, Stuck?! Were you at Ainsdale beach? We had a BBQ there after work a few weeks ago and it was loud donut central!

I'm so stupidly busy at work...finished just before 10 last night and I can see the same happening the next couple of nights too :-( Not going to let it stop me DTD tomorrow, though...poor H2B deserves the attention, after all!

topbannana · 25/07/2012 12:08

Morning!!
BFN this morning but my cycle has been varying lengths and the bastard pharmacist gave me "on the day" HPT's rather than the early response one I had intended. Still do not feel ERTDish so all is not yet lost :)
swimming I would pop to the docs and explain exactly what you said up there It makes sense to get "in the system" early and if you want more than one DC then you are being realistic in your expectations- good luck :)

swimmingnotdrowning · 25/07/2012 11:51

I thought of you this morning kitten as I gave DH an ear bashing for being ready to leave five minutes early this morning! Glad kitten towers is a happier place today - hopefully swimming towers (pool?) will be tomorrow. Smile

top, if you need someone to commiserate with, let me know (ERTD arrived 4 days late here - boo) and if you have good news that would be the perfect cheer up. FX.

Vaguely wondering about broaching the subject of doctors with DH. This is cycle seven and I was diagnosed with pcos about 12 years ago so I've always known I might need help but I'm not sure if that is premature - the nurse at my pre-TTC rubella test said to try for a year before coming back but i am early thirties and these things can take a while and I'd ideally like more than one child. What do you think?

Kittenkatzen · 25/07/2012 11:07

woman how do you make the colour changes that sounds really useful...I just had a quick squizz round myMN but couldn't see it, probably looking in the wrong place though...

I don't think you'll be getting your rain today or tomorrow i'm afraid - apparently we're due thunderstorms on friday though.

frying hope you enjoy the film, I've heard good things about it (and anything with Tom Hardy in gets my vote quite frankly....). Tried to book DH and I tickets for tonight but our local IMAX is full so we'll leave it a week or so I think.

fryingpantoface · 25/07/2012 10:58

Morning shaggers!

nothing new to add here. Tonight is the night! Hopefully after Batman :)

Im working today and it's really busy, so I'm trying to avoid work by MNing. I'm a bad person

AWomanCalledHorse · 25/07/2012 10:57

Guinea, my understanding was there is only room on this thread for one animal related named MN-er, so you, Kitten, ViciousChicken & me are going to have to fight it out for BFP & piss orf soon Grin Infact it should be the law than animally named MN-ers get instant BFP...
Fingers are crossed for dry weather for you, but I really want it to rain in London, although after Kitten has her sunbathing break.

Hooya, only reason I've been doing the roll call is because you can set the colours of OP posters (to purple) and your own (to green), it just makes it easier for me/others to find the roll call for updating.

Welcome Vicious!

Looking forward to top news.

Morning JSers!

Much less grumpiness in kitten towers today you'll be please to hear :)

Welcome viscious

Hooya I was on the pill for 14 years, and when I came off in early May DH didn't know what had hit him! Shagtastic indeed :o has died down a bit now though...

Toooooopppppppppppppppppp where are you????! We need NEWS! :o:o

It's a beautiful 30 degrees and sunny as you like here in central London - I shall be spending my lunch hour hunting down a patch of greenery to sun worship from!

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 25/07/2012 10:30

Ooh add me to the list - no DC and TTC about 4 months now!
Live on outskirts of Manchester - in fact was in Nicola's neck of the woods last night - we have an old VW beach buggy and took it to Southport beach (Yes we were the ones that did a very loud donut on the sand Grin)

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 25/07/2012 09:53

As I seem to be missing from the roll call I'll add myself here (I'll try not to take it personally Woman

Name: ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs, Lives: Yorkshire, DCs: DS aged 5 and DD aged 2, TTC: 3 months.

DD is a nightmare today. I had to collect her from nursery yesterday afternoon because she was poorly. She doesn't normally sleep in the day but I let her nap with her being a bit under the weather. Cue one wide-awake toddler at bedtime. Finally managed to get her to sleep at around 11pm. We thought she would sleep in this morning, but no such luck. She is now wingy and tearful. Oh and free to a good home!

Weather warm but not sunny here today, still at least we can play outside. Meeting people from church at the playground/park this afternoon so fingers crossed it stays dry. Hope you all have a good day.

swimmingnotdrowning · 25/07/2012 08:46

Welcome viscious.

What a lovely sunny day - just the thing to put us all in the mood for JS (if ERTD holds off in my case).

Have a lovely day one and all!

NicolaHazel · 25/07/2012 06:31

Hi Hooya...yeah, my sex drive has increased a touch. But I was on the injection which is known to dampen it somewhat, so I'm not surprised (though pleased!).

Hooya · 24/07/2012 23:57

horse may I be on the list? Or am I supposed to just make a new list (new and don't know the netiqette?):

Name: Hooya Location: somewhere in Asia DC: None TTC: 1 month.

Nicola have you found that your sex drive has changed post BC? I couldn't believe there would be any difference but it's been shagtastic since I came off it! Grin

frying we're on the same cycle I think, day 4 ERTD for me and at that icky stage, though I never know how soon to start again in this stage of ERTD (TMI alert) always risk of overenthusiastic JSing dislodging something...

practising love your commitment with the on-chair handstand action. I should try to drag my lazy ass out of bed post-shag and attempt something!

top hope the faint line turns into a big proper one!

wing love the idea of you and a friend trying not to give away your MN details, ooh it's a bit like a secret world on here!

swimming boo to cramps and colds - my DP has one and is leaving a little trail of used tissues all over our flat!

I feel all left out not being in the UK / north! However it is 28 degrees, sunny and lovely here so must not grumble Smile

ViciousChicken · 24/07/2012 22:13

Hello! New on here and this looks like my kind of thread!
I live up north, have no kids and been TTC for about 2 months. Hope to chat more soon. :)

NicolaHazel · 24/07/2012 22:10

I'm a fake northerner having been born and brought up in the East Midlands! :-)

AWomanCalledHorse · 24/07/2012 22:06

Going to have a bounty hunter stylee hunt for all the awol posters so I can update BFP's if there are any, Wing, just realised I forgot to change your name so I'll do that next post.

top, hope you're still ERTD-less and get a bfp soon!
So many Northerners around!! DH has decided he'd like to move oop to the midlands in the next few years (sick of London), hoping I'm not still on this thread then!

Top ERTD showed up yet? Wear your most delicate lingerie, also a good way to lure it!

Practisingparent · 24/07/2012 21:01

Swimming I always wonder if the other RL mums i hang out with are on here, my ears are alert for an similar sounding acronyms or phrases,. I also know 2 of my best friends are now TTC and wonder if they might be perusing these threads to pick up more tips.

Guinea Im in the midlands (enough info?). Also I followed the hip advice when we were TTC no 1, but took it a step further by actually lying upside down on an arm chair, legs dangling over the top, i now have a DD so will try it again!

Happy shagging all!
