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

I have an Android and I have the my days app. I used it when I got pregnant with ds.

Weather is silly here as well....
Xx

Ah yes I can see how coming from the licensed trade it must be more of a lifestyle choice than anything! Totally agree with it being easier to stop completely than to cut down, it really does feel like more of a treat that way!

WD the start of this year was exactly the same for us - we had christmas, new year, a big birthday for DH, and got married all in the space of two months....add to that the fact that at the time we were both working in the City and the result was two seriously pickled livers for a while!

Jazz the app I have is called iPeriod (shows as iP on your home screen). It's pretty good but I'm sure most of them are much the same - just type period tracker into the app store and see what comes up :)

Has anyone else had completely bonkers weather today? It seems to have been switching between torrential rain and blazing sunshine at 5 minute intervals all day today....

Jazz the app I use is Monthly Cycles (shortened to Mo.Cycles on my phone). This one: Monthly Cycles

I tried a couple of other free ones but this is the most user-friendly one I've found. It's good for monitoring ERTD dates anyway.

Have iPhone - what's the app?!

Well done Top on 'getting the leg work in' [snigger] And also to you and Kitten for cutting back on the booze. DH and I rarely drink any more at home at that made a big difference for us.

Last Jan (2011) was a big milestone birthday for DH and I organised lots of nights out and surprise drinks for it, plus with xmas, new year and DS's birthday in between all that we drank tons for about 6 weeks. DH was given loads of posh wine and whisky too for his birthday. So we gave up drinking from Jan to Easter which I think was April and I felt so much better for it. All our friends assumed I was pg but sadly not!

This year we both gave it up again for Lent. Not quite so difficult but I still felt virtuous on Easter Sunday when I tucked into my !

kitten its more of a habit with us TBH. We came from the licensed trade so drinking is a way of life/ occupational hazard, whichever way you choose to look at it!
I find it easier to not drink full stop (in practise for finally falling pregnant!) We spent a couple of weeks trying to cut down and stick within limits but it was more aggravating than just not drinking at all IYSWIM. We still have a couple of drinks at the weekend but it seems like a real treat. We felt that cutting down completely is another way of turning TTC into a chore and, given the time its taken us so far I think DH could have turned loopy by now :o
In fact I go to agility on a Tuesday and I have been buying a small bottle of weak real ale for DH while I am out. He says it is such a treat and can eke it out all evening which makes me chuckle!

Congratulations noinspiration - as WD said, very inspirational indeed! :)

fingers crossed for you top, sounds like you've put the leg work in (so to speak!) this month for sure! I've managed to talk DH into giving up drinking for a bit too so am feeling your pain on that front.....we've agreed no alcohol at all until our holiday in September - with a couple of negotiated exceptions (weddings/events etc.). It's been 3 days so far.....!

jazz if you have an iphone there's a really handy app that you can download for free to do you ertd tracking for you :)

No Jsing for us last night after all.....I had thought I was on a bit of a promise, but DH picked up his laptop to do a bit of work and I promptly fell asleep

Congratulations noinspiration and welcome notsoold
No JSing last night as we were both very tired and had headaches (cue the worlds smallest violin :o)
Shame really as I think I MAY have OV'd yesterday. I have been paying an undue amount of attention to my pant snot and was convinced "the time was right" followed by a pain in my left side last night. I have never had a pain before but do suffer from IBS so may have missed it in amongst all the grumbling and growling!
In any case we JS'd on Monday and if I jump DH tonight we will have stuck to EOD with the occasional extra chucked in. We are also on our second week of not drinking during the week so I am feeling particularly grown up and virtuous :)
Off now to polish my halo and iron my shag cape :o

Ooo congrats!! Send us all bfp vibes
I think we might've started js too late in the month.
Thing is I'm not sure when I'm due on - must start writing it down!

Congratulations inspiration fx for you

Thanks WingD

Noinspiration that's inspirational! Well done on your BFP! :)

Oh Notsoold sorry for my ignorance Hope ERTD comes soon :(
And yes, it's the position I usually play in netball because I'm a bit rubbish and play in an amazing team so WD is pretty much where I can muck up the game the least

Jazz that's rubbish. Still, it's never over until the big fat ERTD sings (hmm, that sounds a bit wrong!)...

Red that would be great if you either knew for certain imeddiately or didn't. All this waiting around can drive a person crazy - in fact it does which is why we are all on here going aaaaaarrghhhh !

BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to check in to say that JS really works. I'm 39, came off the pill at the end of Feb, have a history of PCOS and a long term eating disorder in my early 30s. Frankly I thought it a bit unlikely I'd ever get pregnant. However, boobs were like torpedoes this week so I POAS, and da dah.

Only worry is I bled heavily for one hour on Friday last week. Nothing since. It was after a personal training session, and in my defence I had no idea I was pregnant. Am going straight to the GP today.... cross your fingers for me.

I never liked ERPC - sounds so cold and medical. Sorry for your loss notso

I have no symptoms at 3dpo and feel like maybe I am not pregnant again this month. I wish your body would send a strong sharp signal when you conceive rather than going through this 2ww malarkey!

oh sorry Jazz did you test early? Hope AF still doesn't arrive :(

Oh erpc = miscarriage? So sorry for your loss notsoold, haven't heard that acronym before now.

Damn real life!

I've never watched either bachelor or the top model thing. Will investigate.

I love top can't spell her name!

Notso im so sorry. Why seems a good name for it. I've had multiple miscarriages so have been where you are x

Sorry...do you have another acronyms for evacuation of retained products of conception??? Or as I call in my hear y?
wing I thought it was sports related....

Can't believe I've missed ANTM Brit Invasion. Gutted. Shall investigate never miss tomorrow. I also somehow managed to miss the last half of the recent Bones series (despite series linking it). I become surprisingly angry and upset when I miss a series/episode despite the fact that it is only TV. My other favourite is Casualty - been watching for years and can't quite stop.

WingDefence does sound quite military-esque, we'll just assume its the military precision you use to co-ordinate JSing!

Only one line
Awaiting AF then

Still next month will include lots of shags so have that to look forward to

Damn you wing and your undercover, camouflaged shag cape, you have stumbled across my website- will have to name change now :o
Sadly I only realised quite recently that I have been spelling banana wrong all these years It has been my user name on a couple of other forums and TBH I wondered why it was always still available when I chose it so I have written it so many times I don't think I could ever get my head around spelling it properly. The tragedy is that I am a stickler for spelling and grammar and now I am stuck with it- I shall simply pretend it is cutting edge :o

Welcome Notsoold! I'm afraid I have no idea what erpc is (or 'eric' as my iPad just auto corrected it to)?! We have our own set of acronyms on this thread too so please feel free to suggest anything we can add to it!

Practising I have heard of the Bachelor on the US series but have you been watching the UK version with Spencer from Made In Chelsea?! Actually, I've just remembered that MIC is my other TV guilty pleasure... Oh and Big Fat Gypsy Weddings...

And does anyone else think my MN nickname sounds like something from the RAF?

Ooh, DH has entered the building

Welcome notsoold :)

practising I think it only works up to a certain point, obviously if you're absolutely livid it won't work! :o
