We've got newbies to cheer us on, the February Warm-Up is complete, after waiting nine long months it's only bloody time for March Madness! Welcome to JS thread no. 46!

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 46th grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

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 45th grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 59th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread HERE
for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

HERE is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates. I really hope that worked!

Oooh and yes lovely chunky monkey you have there tea!

Sky gx things kick off for you today

Oooh, Sky I hope you get good news and have a most excellent birthday 😉

Sod it...it's not tradition, but I'm gonna rustle my bunting for Chat's BFP.

Thanks for all the kind words. I feel a little bit bad for still calling him strop baby on MN, when actually he's as chilled a wee fella as I've ever met.

Hello! I thought I would v tentatively dip my toe in here....
I'm canters, age 29 and just had a bfp on cycle 5 of ttc. Am 4 weeks exactly today. Edd around November 21st.

I am so excited, but also a bit in shock...I guess it's not going to feel real for ages.

Hi Canters it still isn't feeling real for me either. I am umming and ahhing over having a private scan done at the end of the month but keep changing my mind. I still have absolutely no symptoms at all and it is terrifying me!

Fuzzy - if it helps, I had almost no indication before I had a positive test and I was already 7+2 when I got my BFP! If it eases your nerves, then definitely get the private scan. Early ones aren't too expensive - think we paid around £100 for ours.

Welcome Canters and welcome back Chat :)

Got my bonus letter from work this morning - needless to say I'm quite happy with the amount! No pregnancy or maternity leave related shenanigans :)

Thanks Tri. I think I just have a hatred of scans now after having a mmc in the past. I am still earlier than you were when you found out though and I am fairly certain that last time I was pregnant (when everything went ok) I had a fairly easy nine months in general, but made up for it in worrying.

Welcome canters!

Am fresh from 3rd sweep... third time's the charm, right? It was barely even uncomfortable this time my poor manhandled fanjo!

Registrar happy to let me go until consultant appt on Thursday without starting insulin. GX things move before then!

sky gx

chat so glad to have you with us

Nfmbody: so brown cm is back, thought I was having cramps but turns out it was my gut My appointment is on Wednesday. Absolutely bricking it and randomly keep thinking it will be blighted ovum

I really hope everything is ok on Wednesday Ill. How far along are you?

Thanks Fuzzy I'm 6w5d today.

ill there are lots of reasons that can happen and things can still be ok. Try to stay positive. We are all here for you.

Oh now I am on my own wifi I can show you what I bought today at the hospital! So cute... only a tenner and supports the dementia charity at our hospital

Gx everything is fine ill there are lots of reasons for spotting so try not to panic (I know that must be impossible...)

canters lovely to have you with us! Gx for an easy nine months!

Have spent the day at work fighting tears again. Last week was awful, today the kids have been fine but I am having 2 obs, 1 morning where someone else is teaching my class and 2 afternoons out with them for 'planning time' and no one has told me why. Feel very vulnerable as no one has mentioned an issue with my performance so I don't know what's going on, and slt not replied to my email asking them to clarify. Don't want to come in tomorrow, but don't want people to think I'm just trying to avoid obs either...

Oh Kate is there anyone you can have a chat with?

ill I was doing a ridiculous amount of Googling over the weekend and apparently 25% of women who have healthy pregnancies bleed. My understanding is that brown blood is old blood and is often implantation or the embryo burying in deeper. I had some brown cm in my last pregnancy and went on to have a healthy baby.

That's lovely Sky.

Chat - beaut to see you here!!!!

fuzzy I cried on dp in asda he said I need to take tomorrow off and go to the GP. I'm not sure though...

Kate it's easy to think the worst in these situations but if you aren't aware of any issues with your work chances are it's just something that has to be done to someone and you drew the short straw. And you can play the pg card to protect yourself anyway, they can't do too much without any real backup up without you bringing a discrimination claim! Go in and dazzle them gal

sky hope the sugars come back down and that minisky makes an appearance. Must be a good sign that sweep was easier surely? FYI my nipple was healed this morning so didn't have to open the new cream. Any more unusual inventions u care to share? Think I'm going to be glad to know those nipple guards exist!

Can't remember if I said grats to tea so congratulations! I think I've seen ur lovely bubbba on fb even tho we aren't friends on there as it came up in my feed when other viroids posted. not 100% sure if ur IRL name though! Lol

Welcome Canter's

Welcome back chat! Sending you sticky thoughts and a long easy pg with a very happy end to the 9months.

Thanks for the welcome, Viroids. Flipping between zen calmness (what will be will be) and wild hormonal madness. It's going to be a fun pregnancy.

Ill I do hope Weds goes okay. It doesn't always mean the worst.

Don't know much about obs, Kate but if no-one's made you aware of a problem, then hopefully that means there isn't one. Communication could do with being improved there by the sounds of it...

Thanks everyone, I think it is a grumpy gut putting pressure into a sensitive cervix. As after bm I felt absolutely fine and no more brown cm.

Kate poor thing, totally agree that it could just be that they need someone and you ended up stuck with it. We are having a random audit and one of us in our section will be picked but it has nothing to do with any suspicions.

Congratulations Chat and Canter's GX for sticky babies!

Tbh this is the last in a long line of issues... And yes, communication is definitely an issue in general!

I have no constructive advice kate but I hope work tomorrow is better then expected.

ill as said up-fred spotting is so common, brown blood is much less worrying then red, so I'm sure all will be OK. Worrying none the less.

My boobs are starting to throb which in an odd way I'm quite pleased about- symptoms!!

Evening all,
Wish I had some advice kate but sadly I don't, other than to keep at it 💐 I have the most respect for teachers 🌟
canters my first pregnancy symptoms were sore boobs and hair overload - it was growing so lush and thick and falling out everywhere - both these lasted well until 12 weeks.

On a booby note, mine won't stop LEAKING! I will drown my poor son when he arrives if it keeps increasing like this. Not so much sore, but tingly and damp. Hmmmm 😐
