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!

Ooooh, lots of exciting stuff going on!

Mandasand Congratulations, that is fantastic! Lets hope the BFP's come thick and fast now!

Newchoos Welcome, we have not had many newbies since this thread began, and we need people to fill the 'soon to be empty' spots. Sounds like you are trying to achieve a lot all at once!

Shag cape has been getting a lot of action since DH got back... yay! We are certainly stepping up the action, think we will have a rest tonight, unless pant snot looks positive, but (TMI) kind of hard to tell whats what!

South, how old is your DS? Cant wait til DD can do that!

something hope your little one is ok. Thanks for the welcome and congrats to manda.
horse yes, so I am trying to lose a stone before TTC but as we're bringing this forward now, will just try and be super healthy and curb my sweet tooth.

AWomanCalledHorse · 04/07/2012 10:36

top, I have no more sticks...only OV sticks. Stupid stuff all in the same packaging! But ordered some more internet ones so I'll test whenever they get here (mate works in a GP Surgery, so tempted to ask her to get me some, but she'll want to know results!).
Sounds like you had a lovely cosy day..but heating on?! That's crazy!

Thanks for answering South! I'll discuss it more with DH & see if he wants to start going at the same time (we're not looking at going until the New Year, think I'll pop along for one of the really busy Christmas Masses & see how I like the vibe? Less likely to get cornered by someone then)!

something, soft spot on his head? Hope he's just bumped it...let us know how it goes x

Welcome Choos! Hope this thread helps a little, good luck with the weightwatchers & sleep. I don't know much about GD, but are you at a higher risk of getting it if you've already had it?

Persuasion, fingers crossed for you. x

Congratulations manda!

Welcome newchoos (love the name)

something I hope DS is ok

Like woman I'm a bit in limbo. I'm a day late after very light spotting on 11 and 12 dpo but BFN this morning, still only 13dpo though so I guess time for a test to come positive? Am trying not to get my hopes up too much though.

NewChoos · 04/07/2012 10:00

Morning, Can I join please. I am clueless, 40, like prosecco (will be giving this up of course) and chocolate (hopefully not giving that up although had GD with DS 15mo). Working almost FT but will be trying to fit in the baby making where poss, inbetween half hearted attempts at sleep training and trying to do weightwatchers.
Going to read the thread now with a coffee and some toast.

somethingwittynot · 04/07/2012 09:47

yay! come join us on the other side! scans not for 6 days!

am awaiting a lift to a&e with DS he has an odd egg shaped lump over his soft spot

When are you planning to PIAR horse? I no longer keep tests in the house as it is just too tempting (though YOU started this thread so maybe the magics worked on you already?! :) )
We are enjoying JSing again and have stuck to EOD, though it's very early days yet. At least the rain means we are not tempted to do anything outside! I took the dog to agility last night at 6.30 and left DS and DH in their PJ's, with the heating on, reading and drinking hot chocolate- IT'S JULY FFS!!!

AWomanCalledHorse · 04/07/2012 07:14

Yay mandasand! Congratulations, can understand not getting too excited...let us know when you've had your 12wk scan & we'll get into proper celebrating mood Grin, seconding the unmn Eeek frying said!!

at River, well if it's bfn for you..that's another month of Wine, every cloud & all that!

Offically late ERTD here, not getting my hopes up or anything...

Frying, I'm going to re-start shred on Saturday...I had a problem with my knees before so I'll be taking it a bit slowly.
Frank discussion sounds good, it can be hard when you lose intimacy. We're not JS until the weekend because we're trying to stop it becoming all about ttc too.

Rivergirly · 03/07/2012 21:54

just checking in. still nothing for me getting lots of bloatedness when due ERTD and last time it was nearly 3 weeks late now getting to what I think is when ERTD should be due but no symptoms at all again assuming this means no BFP this month. But we're fine it's still early days for us. :)

And congrats mandasand - BFP always good news!!

fryingpantoface · 03/07/2012 21:45

Congratulations!

A very unmumsnetty eek!

mandasand · 03/07/2012 21:35

thanks, topbanana! :-D

topbannana · 03/07/2012 21:17

Actually mandasand I think it's the first of this thread so congratulations!!!! Wise not to get too excited but YOU HAVE A BFP!!! :)

mandasand · 03/07/2012 21:13

Hello shaggers! I have good news ...

It looks like not stressing myself out too much with symptoms etc the last few weeks may have worked ... got a BFP this evening! Just did it again and it came up straight away! :)

My last cycle was 31 days, and today I was at 33 days with no period. I felt a bit nauseous this afternoon, but also had slight stomach cramps and started biting the inside of my cheeks a bit (which I usually do when period is coming - weird I know). So instead of worrying about whether or not I just did a test, expecting it to be neg.

But it wasn't! We're not getting toooo excited. At my grand old age anything could go wrong ... and it is v. early days. But I think this counts as another BFP for the thread!

fryingpantoface · 03/07/2012 20:38

I think that's a lovely idea. I was brought up Mormon and people we're always welcome, even if not getting baptised. I'd assume it's the same everywhere.

I didn't shred neither, I've been out all day. Let me know when you start and I'll do it too.

We js tonight! Entertained baby with snacks and cartoons and crept off! Was lovely.

Also had a frank discussion and we've agreed to js more often, bout three times a week. Which is always good! Not just because of wanting another baby, but because since ds was born, we've lost some of that intimacy which is normal, but not a good thing.

But, that's me off on a tangent!

If you're due today, woman, I'd test now. It may not have shown up earlier. Fingers crossed for you!

AWomanCalledHorse · 03/07/2012 18:50

When is the best day to start testing post-ERTD due date? I tested 2/3 days before due..does that rule out a pg? Or should I wait until weekend? ERTD was due yesterday/today..no more symptoms so unless it surpises me I don't think it's coming.

Guinea, sounds lovely!
As you all seem to know a bit about religion, would it usually be frowned upon (by the Rev or the patrons) if I took DS to church (CoE) but didn't get him baptised? I want him to know as much about the subject before he makes the choice if it's the religion for him, if that makes sense? I love the idea of a Guinea style demonstration of faith/understanding what it means instead of him just knowing he was baptised as a child.

something, how did it go? Am hoping no news is good news.

frying, DH has told me not to shred today because I'm hobbling around (I didn't even notice) but he's giving me a leg massage instead, win-win!!

fryingpantoface · 03/07/2012 09:49

Good luck something!

fryingpantoface · 03/07/2012 09:49

Well, I got back yesterday, and had to go straight out for a family dinner.
By the time we got back I was shattered. So no js for us. Maybe tonight

somethingwittynot · 03/07/2012 09:22

yeah its a repeat of my early scan to see if theres a fetal pole and a heartbeat pretty much symptiomless here but know it can still kick in!

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 02/07/2012 23:23

Thanks for the congrats all! It was a lovely service and a very emotional day...I cried on a number of occasions, but then I always do cry at Church!

Yes it was a believers baptism that follows becoming a Christian. It is a demonstration of faith rather than a pre-cursor to it so is different to an infant Christening. I go to a Baptist church in Leeds (LRBC).

Still no ERTD, but hardly daring to hope after last month and a BFN.

It's not stopped raining here all day...Hopefully the bad weather will encourage us all to stay in and JS. Silver lining etc...

Thanks south. I think a full immersion baptism is usually for 'believers' and is quite different to an infant christening. Im a christian and was baptised when I was 16 or 17.

Put me right Guinea, if Im wrong!
