Just Shagging Grads, here is your shiny new Fred!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The last thread saw plenty of births and we've got loads of new Grads to add to the mix. Bring on the TMI posts, the midnight moans, the birthwatches and the pom poms!

Our stats thread is here, so if you find us, please add your stats too.

There is also a Just Mumming thread for grads of the grads thread

And if you want to find out what Just Shagging is about or catch up with the undergrads go say hello to the Just Shaggers here, now on the 17th thread.

Well I'm a bit confuzzled really. My cycles are 5 weeks long so am I 5 weeks gone already? The NHS website says not so I think I'm 4 (+2?).

I've only told one friend and DH! Plus DH told his best best mate whose response was "does that mean you can stop going to the gym now?" .... Angry

DulcetMoans · 07/05/2014 19:16

I don't know either. All I can tell you is that my last AF was 4th April and cycle (in theory) is around 28 days. NHS says I am 4 weeks and I imagine that will be 5 weeks on Friday.

Also, means I got my dates at scan wrong I think and will be 7+6. I think. I don't know though. It's all confusing!

JuniDD · 07/05/2014 19:56

I am 16 weeks so the time does pass, eventually! Hoping to feel these "flutters" soon.

RPopz · 07/05/2014 20:00

Eeek!

Think the constipation has caught up with me.... Hmm

Minion · 07/05/2014 20:56

Oh no popz. You have my sympathies, and fybogel is a must.
I'm 8 weeks today and still sick as a parrot.
Sorry I can't go on more, I just feel vomtastic, just thought I'd pop my head in x

RPopz · 07/05/2014 21:31

Hope you feel better tomorrow Min x

Nessalina · 07/05/2014 22:19

Aww sympathies Min Sad
I was feeling ok today, but went over to my pals after work - she's got the cutest 2yr old boy, but he'd filled his nappy and it smelled soooo bad Confused She didn't want to waste a nappy because he was due a bath 45mins later, and she's obviously accustomed to the smell, but my pregnant nose was a bit traumatised Grin
Exciting for you to have a scan booked Dulcet! They'll definitely be able to see something even though it's early! Smile

Nessalina · 08/05/2014 16:08

Just got my eyebrows and top lip threaded Shock Worst. Pain. Ever.
I was properly nearly crying - apparently it's more painful when you're pregnant!!
On the plus side, found some comfy maternity jeans in Mamas & Papas - they're doing 30% off at the moment!

DulcetMoans · 08/05/2014 16:59

Top lip nessa?! You are brave!! I'll stick with bleaching!

It is exciting to have a scan, if nothing else there is a date to work towards. I haven't told my doctor yet, I should probably do that! A girl on the Jan 2015 bus is one day ahead of me and seeing midwife next week. Crazy!

Sorry about the vomcano experience min. Does it seem to be getting any better at least??

So, anyone know about flights during pregnancy? I am due a trip to USA in July!

With you on the constipation popz! But I don't want to strain in case it pops out! haha!

Minion · 08/05/2014 18:04

I visited my porcelain friend last night and hopefully my delicious Italian tray bake will remain in situ.
Fingers crossed eh.
I'm getting a bit of a back ache today, I'm a bit worried to be honest.
I'm wondering if it is because this would be the time I'd be due on if I wasnt upduff?

RPopz · 08/05/2014 20:39

Dulce I've got my midwife app on Tuesday.... they tried to give me it this Tuesday but I couldn't make it! Does seem scarily early/ efficient but then I did coincidentally have a GP app booked the day after I got the bfp.

Eek Ness that sounds awful.... Though I thought threading was meant to be a less painful option??

Minion · 08/05/2014 21:04

Ooh that Is nice and early, mines on Tuesday too.

RPopz · 08/05/2014 21:08

I'm not sure if it's the actual booking app or what!

Nessalina · 08/05/2014 22:19

I've been getting quite a bit of lower back pain Min, I think it's a combination of uterus moving and trapped wind to be honest Confused but it's deffo normal for early pregnancy.
I've never had my lip done before, I normally bleach, but I've found that the hair is a little thicker lately, and the bleach just sends it orange (classy) so thought it was time to whip it out! Grin

Minion · 09/05/2014 06:38

Defo sometHing on my mind, which I'm not surprised but still... I dreamt I went to the loo and wiped and there was blood. But straight away my unconscious said 'minion, you're asleep, wake up'.. So thankfully I did.

Spent all day yesterday panicking about a mmc, I just can't seem to stop thinking about it. I'll talk to the midwife on Tuesday, hope there's something she can do.

Nessalina · 09/05/2014 07:19

How stressful Min Confused If it helps, missed miscarriages are quite rare, it's only 1% of pregnancies that end that way. Doesn't stop you thinking about it though!! How far along are you now?
Worth having a chat with midwife, she might send you for an early scan if you're lucky...

Minion · 09/05/2014 07:56

Thanks ness. I know it's really illogical to think like this, but they just keep creeping in my head and then I let my imagination get the better of me. As of today I'm 8+2 and I think this may be partly the problem, I read loads of stuff on the evil internet which say a high % of the ppl who had a mmc had it at 8 weeks.
I just want to see a heartbeat. Maybe then I'll chill and enjoy this a bit more.

DulcetMoans · 09/05/2014 09:26

Could you have a early scan to put your mind at rest min? It's horrible you feel like that, especially if there is no peace when you are asleep even!

You aren't saying that your top lip hair has gotten darker since getting pg are you nessa? That is very upsetting for me!

Minion · 09/05/2014 10:38

You know, now that you've mentioned it, my tache is a bit more obvious...
Hmmmm, I'll wait for the sun to bleach it next month, that should keep it going for a while.
I'm not sure if I want an early scan in all honesty, I'm just really very confused about it all. It doesn't help that every pg symptom I get no one else has the exact same thing so you can't compare.com.
This is my day...
5:30am wake up 'oh god, I bet it's 5:30' look at clock 'yep, thought so. Right I'll try to get back to sleep, oh wait I'll lie on my front cause that always helps'
Turns over
'Ph god, why aren't my boobs hurting?'
Go to the loo, gives a good old prod
'Oh, yep there they are'
Back into bed
'Right, sleep'
40 mins later
'Wheres the iPad? Oh great need the loo'
Another prod for good measure
'Phew still sore, Mmm not as much thom oh god it's happening, I'm a fake and I'm tricking myself into thinking I'm pg'

2 hours later 'why don't I need the loo anymore?'
1 hour later... 'Hi toilet, it's me, minion. Haven't caught up in a while, let me just sit on your face for a bit, hope you don't mind'

Breakfast time,,,'nope, not hungry'
'Feel sick, starving, I'll go and get some cereal'
Comes back with toast.

Activities between 10am and 4 pm..
'Im hungry'
'Oh god, a cramp, is it wind? Am I losing it? Will I make it to the loo in time? Arghh I'm hungry'

Go to the canteen/cupboard/nearest dustbin
'Nope, nothing. Nada. No even hungry, oh wait, I need the loo'
5 mins later 'chips! I NEEEEDDDDD chips! For the love of god, someone please throw a plate of carbs down my throat'

Picks at chips, sorely dissapointed. Throws chips away, wished I hadn't.

Shooty bum pain followed by shooty vag...'ouch, oh please don't be a cramp, quick, to the loo'

Get home.
'Dont talk to me husband, my back is hurting, I have cramps and I feel sick'
Followed by' I love you, you know that don't you? I also love chips. And cheese. What do you mean we're not having chips and cheese for dinner? Oh you're so nice, going out in the rain to get me some chips and cheese.
Sorry just didn't fancy it in the end. Made do with a ryvita. What do you mean you threw out my chips and cheese? Arrrghhhhhhhhhhh'

'Oh hello toilet'

'Oh must take my multi vit'

Voms

'Sorry toilet, you really didn't need to see that'

Has an empty stomach, ponders if I wasn't gp would I vom? What if it's just a touch of stomach flu and I'm having the longest cycle over had...

Tiredness hits just as Heston starts.. 'Yawn, so tired, bedtime. Night'

'Toilet, we meet again'

Wide awake.

Falls asleep eventually till 5:30 am where the story repeats itself.

You've gotta find the humour somewhere eh?
Ha!

RPopz · 09/05/2014 11:14

Min.... Grin just.... Grin !

I'm constantly having the mc fear as well. Had to read actual statistics. Mcs occur in 15-20 percent of pgs... that means they DONT occur in 80-85! This is my new mantra.

DulcetMoans · 09/05/2014 12:50

Hahahahaha! That's amazing min! I can see that happening in my house already. Can't decide if I'm hungry or sicky and had a proper grump on with DH last night for no reason. Was fine downstairs, walked up stairs and he was number one enemy! Hindsight helps me see I was unreasonable but at the time him telling me that didn't help!

RPopz · 09/05/2014 13:37

Glad I'm not the only one doing covert boob prodding to check they're still sore! Grin

I haven't felt sick since twotting....

Minion · 09/05/2014 15:18

It's shameful but isn't exactly covert... More like 'grab em when ya see em'.
Just had an hours nap in prep for tonight, I'll have to go make myself look presentable ...
Should be fun.

FurryScoob · 09/05/2014 17:17

Haha min that is the best description of pregnancy I've ever read!

Glad some people are growing a tash, I don't feel so bad about my new sprouting beard now.
Anyone also found random dark hairs growing around their belly button or is that one just me?

RPopz · 09/05/2014 18:03

Fuck me I'm tired.

Where you going tonight Min?

Scoob I always have that.... Blush Think I made it worse by shaving it off one time! The joys...

Eaten so much crap these past two days. Need to get back on the veg!
