We're not obsessing, we're Just Shagging! Part III

[BrassicaBabe]

The 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday. Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended)

Covet thy husband and enjoy every minute. Shag at ever opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Resist the lure of ovulation predictor kits, Taking Control of Your Fertility and the dreaded First Repsonse. Knowing where you are in your cycle is entirely permissible though!

Going to the doctor is permitted if you've had a stupidly long cycle but beware of the dildo-cam-scan.

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'.

Keep us up to date with gossip!

***

Although all most of these rules are well and truely broken!! But we try to chill - honest

Hey spareroomsleeper hope that name doesn't mean you don't get a lot of JSing in!

miffles both for your inadvertent glance at me and brassica and for your sneaky override of the work computer. LOL at the paranoid typing And yep, the doctor was brilliant. Dr Hunt Dr Hunt Dr Hunt

Told my mum and she tried her hardest not to insinuate that I was crazy for going to the doctors. She got preggo 6 times accidentally (me, a miscarriage, and four terminations) so she can't quite get her head around the actively trying thing and seems to think I'm off my rocker. She doesn't know the half of it!

baby2b good list. Cocktails for me too later. Wahoo!

Josie you poor thing. Ongoing pain like that really is terrible. But I bet you'll be yelling out 'bring back the toothache' 9 months or so from now!

PS. Not that I'm actively trying. I'm just shagging of course

LOL at the 'just shagging' no one here's actually TTCing are they?

josie There is little worse than ear/toothache - my labour was definitely easier (and shorter) than any toothache I've ever had.Hope you get it sorted.

SRS welcome!

I can't really think of any thing to add to lists apart from:

1. I can still eat nuts and wash them down with vodka (if I wanted to, that is).
2. I don't have to buy any new clothes to accommodate expanding belly.
3. Our rather small flat can still hold us all.
4. I can walk rather than waddle.
5. I can pick things up off the floor if I drop them.
6. I can symptom spot and stress on my 2ww some more (my new favourite hobby).

that'll do.

doh! i forgot the obvious one
I can still be on this thread with all you lovely people

:o

It's the weeeeeekeeenenddd!
I'm frazzled from dealing with children and their bodily fluids. One sick and several wet themselves today. Someone remind me why I want one of my own. The ones I teach are 3-4. I gather babies will require this type of attention several times a day. But perhaps, as people keep telling me "Oh you won't mind so much when it's your own!" Bet I will!

I've made a decision that today is CD1. ERTD is sort of getting going a bit more (sympathise with the running to the loo every 5 mins just to see what it's up to, and had a silent shout at womb earlier), but as I normally have rather heavy ones, I'm rather baffled as to what it's up to.

A nice bit of news today is that a friend at church who has been ttc forever and was told that there was no chance of conceiving naturally has posted on facebook that she's pregnant and due in March.

As for the positives on the list, has anyone mentioned the guilt free drinking

I left work early!!! Please don't tell on me!!! Had a relaxed evening planned, but think we may repaint the lounge. After all our hard work a couple of weeks ago, we decided we didn't like the blue. Too cold. Not really sure why we chose blue anyway! DH had better let me do the easy bits, as have been taking advantage of not being pg by having a glass of wine!

Started spotting again today. Grump. Only started period 12 days ago. How can I be bleeding again? So I so know what you mean, Eskarina about not knowing what you're body is up to. Good news about your friend, though. That kind of thing does cheer me up!

thanks and hello milano and takethat...the name is actually due for a change as I am no longer a spare room sleeper, and it never stopped us from JSing, quite the opposite in fact

miffles ..well done you for being brave and leaving early! What colour are you changing the lounge to now?

eskarina...I taught primary too, and got told its different when its your own too..I found it is and it isnt. IS when your heart overflows with love at tiny little gestures of theirs, and isn't when they are whining and moaning and you just want to go aaaarggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..(I promise I dont, I just lock myself in the bathroom for five glorious minutes)

I cant join in with all the glee of guilt-free drinking/smoking, as I do not drink nor smoke. Since my period is late however, I have been indulging in cups of tea and oreos, telling myself that after all, I may be pregnant .

The true joy will be when AF arrives and Im a couple of pounds heavier as a result of premature celebrations

Long time no see viroids. Slowly reading through what feels like a months worth of posts.

For what it's worth I no longer feel freakishly tall. Am 5'7 and a half. DH is only about 5'6 though so don't get to wear high high heels very often (pout).

Nothing to report here, except wind rain and a need for a damn good shagging when I see DH again on Monday. (pout again)

Great between s l o w connection and a child who won't sleep with out me in the room I'm not even past Wednesday. I'd say stop typing so much, but it is funny reading what you've all been up to (esp TakeThat!)

Morning all.
Josie good luck with the dentist this morning.

I love all the positive comments, been trying to think of more but it seems you have them covered!

Well had a bizarre heavy period of 2 days, and went to bed last night to find it had gone so Jsing was on the menu, much to my mans delight! Got some more in this morning before he went to work-hence being up at a silly hour on a Saturday morning!

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I have a party tonight, so there is a positive, although I've work in the morning so cant be too silly!

Sorry viroids, too bust getting drunk at SIL's wedding yesterday have to say, not missed hangovers! Woken up by the sea (not literally, wasn't THAT drunk ) which is lovely'

Welcome SRS

Loving the positive lists ladies.

I am off to eat at lest twice my weight in bad food to feed the hangover xxx

vallinnapod, that sounds like you had a good evening!

last night we went to bed in jammies with a glass of wine - disclaimer, this is not because we didn't manage JS, but JS wasn't intended.
we have choir on fridays, then DH has to finish his fantasy football before we go to bed, and both of us work on saturday.
so we've set up a little (lapsed since the wedding, actually) routine of jammies, wine, tv in bed after choir.
very lovely.
:)

Jammies and wine is my plan for tonight nickelbabe. Welcome back nomore! Hope the wedding was good vallinna - sounds great :)

Well I got plastered yesterday - went for celebratory drinks with DH and a couple of friends, one of whom is moving away during term time - and polished off a lot of wine. Hungover this morning and DH and I walked five miles along the river into town to get the car by 9am. Puked a stringy bit of a prawn, too

It was so good to get drunk but the champagne is still in the fridge and DH is telling me I have no choice but to drink it tonight. I do NOT feel like it with this hangover but the old hair of the dog chestnut will win out, I'm sure.

Also, if anyone still needs cheering up they should read the thread on dodgy song lyrics

I have a confession to make.

After getting excited at the thought of being overdue by exactly a week today, my iron will not to test broke, and I frantically peed on TWO sticks - both received a BFN.

I have my mum and sister over for dinner tonight, and I imagined telling them the good news. Obviously, I didnt imagine the alternative.

I am sooo hungover today...but it was worth it for a fab night of cocktails. Waiting for it to be 6pm so I can go for a curry with DH. My hangover wants tikka massala, rice and nan...oh and poppadoms...and onion bhaji. Yum! Was too drunk last night for contemplating action, but managed to get in some jsing this avo.

Spareroomsleeper it's not over until the 'bitch' arrives and didn't you say you didn't get a positive until late last time? Fingers crossed for you.

There are a few of us having a tough time on here at the moment...lets hope next week brings far more helpful gps, consultants etc and plenty more opportunity for wine, jsing, orios or whatever makes us happy.

spareroom I suggest copious wine drinking. It will make you feel better and then baby2b and I can laugh at you tomorrow when we're no longer guzzling Alka Seltzer and you are . baby2b you are making me hungry. I'm making a crap dinner of leftover stuff from my fridge and boring old brown pasta. It will taste like crap and will not help my hangover. for your curry!

spareroom I also suggest charting your cycles (shhhh) You probably ovulated late. If you knew when you ovulated you would know better when to test--. In my defence, knowing this information has saved me lots of money on pee sticks and ramekins, and saved me from lunacy at least once. The other thousand times are just my own fault

In gatwick, in transit, so not in chatty mood! But just wondering where brassica is? She's gone very quiet???

Evening all.

Sounds like good weekends are being had by all (except Nelly, sorry, but you have just had a lovely holiday )

We repainted the lounge Egyptian Cotton - fawny colour. SO much better! Very pleased. Bloody hard work though - started last night, knocked off at 11.30pm, then started again about 10am and finished mid afternoon. Then had to shop as had friends over. I have therefore decided to have a "me" morning tomorrow. DH will be going to church and I will have a proper lie in. Will go in the evening instead.

Oh - yuk and double yuk, takethat to puking stringy prawn. . I'll happily hear all about ppls pant snot, cervix position and exact colour of AF, but that really was TMI!!!!

Sorry to hear about your BFN, SRS. Hope you were able to enjoy your evening regardless, and it may well be that you get that postive soon.

Sleep well, one and all.

Ahh, thanks all. virtual hugs . Nothing like abit of good ol' sympathy, which of course, was what I as after .

baby2b, you're right. I did get a late positive last time. But Im not going to put my hopes up..

Hmmmmm. So must have knicker-checked about......11 times today, after the BFN. No sign of The Evil.

takethat - how do I the charting the cycle thingy? and p.s : I dont drink remember! I did however bake a dozen and a half of cupcakes, for the kiddies that were over (yeah yeah), and that helped lots

Cupcake anyone?

Oops. Tried to do the whispering thing but failed. Ah well. I was never known for being subtle.

Wow Miffles - hats off to you and your repainting. We've been in our house just over 3 years now and I'm still trying to get DH to agree a plan of action for the kitchen. It has hideous spiky plaster on the walls, painted a dingy teracotta, and teracotta and bottle green tiles which clash nicely with aforementioned horrible walls.
I have a fairly low opinion of the people who lived here before us based on their interior decorating. Love what they did with the garden though

Right. ERTD/AF got me good and proper today. So is today CD1?? It would mean last cycle was 34 days (33 if you make yesterday CD1), not great but not horrendous, and at the longer end of usual for me. But I had little bits of bleeding from CD 20 onwards - most days, only enough to show up when I wiped. What was that all about then? Never had that before, so was convinved for a while it was implantation. Is it a freak occurrence? Is it my body saying Gnurrr to the idea of TTC? Or is it that we had ahem rather more JS from days 12-19 than we would normally (wayyy TMI, sorry) and my cervix can't cope.

Hey SRS sorry for offering you drinks when you don't drink. What a useless suggestion . But thanks for the return offer of a cupcake! I do indeed eat cake .

I've been charting my cycles quite simply by taking my temperature using a basal body temperature thermometer every morning. It has to be a BBT thermometer because the shifts in temps you're looking for are very small and these thermometers will give you your temp to a hundredth of a degree. Do it at exactly the same time before you even get out of bed every day. After you've ovulated, it will rise by about half a degree. It only tells you when you've already ovulated though, so when the temperature goes up it's too late to conceive. So you need to combine it with all that knicker-checking you've already been doing , and look for egg white cervical mucus, better known as pant snot. You should get a few days of clear, slippery stretchy mucus which you can stretch between your thumb and your forefinger. It's easily recognisable once you know what you're looking for. When you have this, shag shag shag as you're fertile! The month I conceived was textbook: 5 days of ever-increasing pant snot, followed by a dry day and a temperature shift. Hope that helps!

And sorry for grossing you out miffles. I figured TMI is one of the new rules of this thread

eskarina I've never experienced that. I'd say CD1 from the full-on bleeding but I don't really know. If it happens again I'd recommend a trip to the doctors.

Hope everyone else is well. Over your hangover baby2b?

Good description, takethat. The only thing I'd add to it is about pant snot. SRS - it seems you have to furkle to find the mucus. At least, it never ends up in my pants! (or maybe that's cos I never ovulate ). Anyway, Brassica (where is she, btw?) is our furkling queen. You may have to stick your fingers up your fanjo to find the mucus. Whilst you're there, you may also investigate the level of your cervix apparently!! Not that many of us are any good at that one, including the midwife amoungst us!

Right - today is a day of proper relaxation. I realised I had 2 weeks off and never had a single proper lie in! This is due to all the decorating going on. So, today, woke up at 11.10, just made myself a cuppa and am going to climb back into bed with a bowl of cereal and my book. Then have a hot bath (sore muscles from aforementioned decorating) and decide what next. May go for a walk if the weather holds.

Eskarina - your kitchen sounds delightful! Esp the artex walls painted orange!! Laughing at your opinion of the previous owners. Wouldn't it be funny if you met them once and they had spiky orange hair or wore orange and green clothes!
We have been here 18 months and have had a patch work of colours painted onto the walls for about 15 months. Trying to decide colours! But had to have the walls stripped and plastered as the previous owners had wallpapered over and over again and then painted.

Right - enough for now, I'm heading back to bed with a 2nd cuppa and my bowl of fruit and fibre. Random question of the day: Favourite breakfast cereal?

Bother - forgot to comment on Eskarina's bizarre AF. I don't think it's that uncommon to get spotting for a few days before proper AF. Have seen it on a few other threads. Although 2 weeks of spotting (from CD20 to 33) is maybe a bt much. You're right to call CD1 when the proper bleeding starts. Fresh blood. It may be that your cervix is responding to the SJing going on - that can happen too. Or just your body playing silly buggers exactly when you don't want it to. The number of people that say that once they start TTC their periods go haywire.
Keep a check of it and write it all down, in case you do need to see the doc.
For me - CD1 yesterday, after a flipping 13 day cycle. Grumup grump grump. 13!!! That is my personal worst. Sigh - this consultant better be good!

Afternoon everyone

Just a quick post - phoned dentist on friday but they just said to keep the tooth clean and use corsodyl mouthwash and after the hung up I cried my eyes out! Attempted to eat egg foo yung friday night but have had nothing solid since then so I'm starving, there's only so much scrambled egg I can eat! Anyway, phoned dentist again saturday and got an appt at 7.30pm and she said I'd cleaned it enough but gave me some antibiotics too so hopefully soon I'll be able to eat again and DH said he'll take me out to our fave restaurant once I can eat. Woke up this morning and the wisdom tooth on the opposite side and top is coming through again and I have DH's cold! Feelin rather sorry for myself right now!

Gonna jump on the JS bandwagon to cheer myself up!

Sorry for the essay, and sorry I haven't caught up properly, back at work tomorrow so will do then, hope everyone is ok though
