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!

Welcome Hannah! I think you can have Child's seat just over here

I too should be working. However I have this extremely annoying trait whereby the more urgent and important the pile of work, the more I seek to distract myself. I really should start a procrastination thread on MN... Hmm

hannahsarah · 23/07/2012 14:25

Thanks Ladies!

If introducing myself, I should do so properly. I'm properly crazy. I used to be sane, then we started ttc.....

My 2ww is sometimes a 3ww or longer and because of stupid irregular cycle (27 - 37 days) ERTD wouldn't actually be late until Friday (CD38) and I am sadly now getting my normal cramps. What I should be doing is distracting myself by getting my head down and my work done. What I am doing is data entry on a second period tracker for iPhone. Obviously the same data I put into the first period tracker for iPhone. Did I mention crazy?

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 14:05

Always introduce yourself!

Welcome Hannah :)

Kittenkatzen · 23/07/2012 13:49

Welcome hannah.....there's a seat just here with your name on it :o

hannahsarah · 23/07/2012 13:47

Hi - just wanted to say how much I have loved reading this thread. You know like when you're in a coffee shop and the conversation at the next table makes you giggle so much you want to go over and introduce yourself. Is this seat taken?

I am determined not to get drawn into the trap of opks and early hpts and dtd planning but I'm obsessive by nature..... I'm much crazier this month than previous cycles since we started ttc so need the quality of chat that you have on here to keep me strong and keep us JSing!

Kittenkatzen · 23/07/2012 13:22

Congratulations child!! And fx for top - two bfps in one day would kickstart this thread off nicely i think!

frying you poor thing what a total nightmare, hope you're not feeling too rubbish with it

topbannana · 23/07/2012 13:15

Gosh, congrats child, this thread has been a bit sparse on BFP's so far :)
The keys turned up (after I had been through both bins by hand Hmm) underneath the bread! DH is quite bashful about the whole affair which I could possibly use to my advantage :o
Still no sign of ERTD here but not getting my hopes up to high yet though I have to go to tescos later so may just look and see how much a decent HPT is

Saranza · 23/07/2012 12:59

Wing - you're very welcome Thanks

Frying - goodness, your ERTD is undertaking a massive spring clean, and getting those birthing muscles ready...(Shine those positive thoughts - and mainline ibuprofen...).

Another way to wake up is to drink lots of water just before bed and rely on your bladder - also means slightly less likely to wake DH. It is a pest having to scrub stains out of sheets when one is x yrs old.. (hormonal contraception does have some things in its favour..) Blush

WingDefence · 23/07/2012 12:28

Congrats Child!!!! Grin I have been feeling odd all morning but for the wrong (ie ERTD) reasons!

Frying that's awful, you poor thing. And your DH must have been terrified too. When I was you we and used to have heavier ERTDs I'd set an alarm for halfway through the night to change my protection. Just think though, it's your body sorting itself out and hopefully getting back to normal :)

AWomanCalledHorse · 23/07/2012 12:27

Child!! Congrats! Don't feel bad about the wine.

top, I lost my keys over the weekend, I'd left them in someone else's car, did anyone wear a different jacket to their normal one? floorboards? Hope they turn up soon.

frying, sounds like my ERTD, hope you're feeling ok today (and yay! for getting ERTD).

This PC sounds interesting!

Had my first proper alcoholic drink since April 2011 (instead of sipping someone elses), started on the alcohopops & I didn't even get pished...so you know I'll get my BFP this month (fingers crossed), what's everyone's tipple of choice?

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 12:08

Congratulations Child!

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 12:08

None sorry!

That's rubbish though. Hope you get sorted soon.

Ertd still happening. It's so heavy that DH woke me up last night thinking I was dying. I'd only bloody bled through mooncup, pad, knickers and pj pants. Not a good look

ChildOfThe1980s · 23/07/2012 12:05

top have you tried looking in shoes and the garden?

I am 3 days late today, but been having normal cramps. Yesterday I had some wine and felt very ill.

I PIAR and... BFP! Feeling a bit dazed.

Fingers crossed for you all for this/ next month.

topbannana · 23/07/2012 08:51

Buggering phone :o
...completely random as the other. I have exhausted the usual places and am now on to unusual ones. The problem is they are the only set so we cannot lock the door, therefore we cannot go out (we managed to survive the night without being robbed and pillaged however :)) until the effing things turn up- any suggestions ladies?! :)

topbannana · 23/07/2012 08:40

First day of the holidays and "someone" has lost the front door keys. We came back from lunch yesterday, I had driven DH had three pints hence is uncapable of remembering who actually unlocked the door (it wasn't me BTW, we are agreed on that) Sadly DH after 3 pints and DS at 8 years old have equally as much chance of putting them somewhere com

WingDefence · 22/07/2012 22:13

Guinea - I have just messaged you via your PC website :)

Frying - that sounds awful - can you self-medicate with Wine and [biscuits]? :(

Top - fingers crossed ERTD doesn't arrive....

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 22/07/2012 22:04

Practising PC shows are fab.! 15-20 is an ideal number for a show. I offer theme parties and then the host and I discuss what sort of recipe they would like to do at their party. The parties can be done anywhere...most people do them in the lounge/dining area because this is generally the most spacious room, but tiny rooms are fine too (i have a friend who regularly does shows in shoebox size rooms on an ironing board!)

Average hosts get around £100 of free stuff, so well worth doing.

Practisingparent · 22/07/2012 21:36

top so funny, bile riding! Was trying to imagine how that works! might help lure the witch, but do you really want to give up hope this month?

Practisingparent · 22/07/2012 21:33

Hi y'all!
Hhhhm, lots of us at church this morning, hoping to get the Big Guy on our side? GrinGrinGrin

Then went to friends baby shower(2nd dc), and came back feeling quite relieved we just have the one to run about after! Came back to see DD in paddling pool, and thought just how lucky we are!

Guinea (to further derail) how do the pc parties work? Is it a cooking party, and if so what do you make and how many people is a good number?

frying High Fives to you! (offers paracetamol)

stuck can offer no very good advice for your predicament, YANBU but we try not to put anything on hold, its life! but at same time would hate to be on my own with a new baby!

I think evil red is trailing off now... back to good old js for me! cheers Wine

topbannana · 22/07/2012 21:20

Quite clearly I meant bike riding (bile riding FFS!) :o

topbannana · 22/07/2012 21:19

frying I feel for you :(
wing I have those bastard ERTD where it hangs about for days before WHAM! Why do our bodies do this?!
And I left the roller skates behind today (not terribly dignified in church I thought!) Anyhow, I think I will go bile riding tomorrow, another sure fire way to lure ERTD out into the open :o
I still have grumbling IBS which gives me stomach cramps so ERTD cramps could be hiding behind them. Aside from that, I am not at all keen on my weekend alcohol, I am still "gushing" (!) and I feel completely washed out- after all this time I hardly dare hope Hmm

NicolaHazel · 22/07/2012 20:12

My first one post-pill was like that, frying, utterly horrendous (my first natural AF in 17.5 years!).

The last one was better, thank god.

fryingpantoface · 22/07/2012 19:47

That's lovely! So cute with the calves

I'm having an ertd of actual death. It's awful

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 22/07/2012 19:04

Wow Wing feeding 3 day old calves sounds fun! After church DD and I went to a friend's for lunch and they plied me with Wine, it was lovely sitting in the sun and relaxing, even if DD was a terror demanding!!

Child my ertd usually lasts 5-7 days but it was barely 2 full days this time...I think its safe to say I have no idea what's going on.

Wing the new catalogue is amazing! Super exciting new products in September. Where abouts do you live?

WingDefence · 22/07/2012 18:20

Hi all. ERTH hasn't arrived properly yet but I know it has IYKWIM - it has tended to do this annoying teasing spotting thing before really starting the last couple of months. I think cycle was 31 this month.

Have felt rotten with it all day though. Went to a friend's farm for lunch and was really bleugh until after lunch. Recovered by sitting in the sun and chatting and helping feed 3 day old calves and collecting eggs :)

Yes Top you temting fate wearing white trousers! Were you roller skating too and being pulled along by a pack of dogs...?! Wink
