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

Shout if I've missed anyone.

josie - really glad you've got the antibiotics now, and a meal at your fave restaurant into the bargain. Hope it all starts to feel better soon. It sounds bloody miserable but you're going to enjoy that meal SOOO much more than usual. You'll have room for two puddings and a starter I reckon!

I don't have to furkle for pant snot. Sometimes I have so much I reckon it has to furkle for me And my favourite cereal is the oh-so-healthy option of Weetos. I'm very interested in the new choco-Weetabix, but until they invent nutella-filled cereal hoops I'm always going to feel there's something missing in the mornings

It's miserable here - cold, grey, and raining a lot.

Josie I hope you feel better soon.

Miffles Good plan with keeping a diary of the exploits of my AF. I just hope I can remember to do it. If I'd just come off the pill the buggering about would be more understandable, but I've been off it since feb/march and had relatively well behaved cycles. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I didn't ovulate either last month. No pant snot, no sore breasts or stabbing pains in side (alternating each month!) not even my normal explosion of spots.

We did meet the previous occupants of the house. They seemed normal enough, no green hair or orange clothes! But they painted every single room in the house a different colour: lounge dark purple and beige, bathroom pale blue, hall& stairs green, then the 3 bedrooms were orange, blue and purple.
I was unfair to DH yesterday. We made huge changes to the lounge/diner when we first moved in, and I love it now. I've also painted the two smaller bedrooms.

I'm having a grey and grumpy day. Came home from church and burst into tears. DH came home and wondered what on earth had happened to me. I had no answer other than no-one really talked to me at church and the parents of creche children were useless at tidying up. Think I must be hormonal.

Oh, and I have a love/hate relationship with breakfast in general, and cereals in particular. However current breakfast of choice is Special K Chocolate & strawberry

Hello everyone, just a quick check back in from the frozen north - brrrrr it's cold!

Eskarina I use the iphone app called period tracker to - ummm - track my periods . Saves me having to write it down and as you always have your phone near you somewhere, it's easy to do. Not much use if you don't have an iphone though?!

Cereal - currently Special K red berries. I'm partial to weetabix too, but only if so drowned in milk and sugar I can see my teeth fall out . Porridge if it's cold (does that count) and cinammon grahams or rice krispies if I'm feeling nostalgic and only need it to fill me up till 9.30

I don't feel so bad about the green painted patch in our lounge, that is supposed to be behind a painting, but we made the test patch too big - about a year ago I think? We've painted the dining room since we moved in, and I did the spare room but haven't quite finished as the door still needs done . And as for our kitchen, there is not a single drawer in it so we have to keep our cutlery on a tray on a shelf. The wall tiles were nicotine brown - now painted a slightly better blue. And the floor was also creamy brown tiles, these have been covered temporarily with slate effect vinyl. Temporarily, 2.5 years ago . Glad we are all a bit the same .

Josie glad you got drugs! Hope you feel better soon, labour must surely seem easy now (oh if only we could get pg first, even though we aren't trying, but just shagging, etc etc )

Now, where is brassica .

Off to go and put on the 5th load of washing, then off to put the empties in the recycling. That might take a while :)

ERTD has arrived in full flow. I found out in the morning when was shifting DD into bed with us. I then got immediate, nasty cramps, made worse by DD turning sideways in our King bed and literally booting me in the stomach and out of bed. So eyemask in hand, I fled to The Spare Room. If I'm honest, I went because I was upset about you know what. WHy am I so hung up on this already? DD is only 18 months, but I really want another baby now. I lay there listening to DH soothing DD (who wanted mummy) back to sleep, feeling mean and ungrateful and greedy.

takethat - thanks for the explanation. I might try that. I'll definitely be checking the, umm, elasticity of pant snot as its alot easier to do...maybe not try the joys of furkling just yet miffles. By the way, well done on all that painting!

josie - glad you've got your medication now - hoepfully you'll be on the mend in no time.

Nelly - wow, fifth load of washing??? You must have a giant sized wardrobe!

Oh I wish- having been away for 2 weeks, the first 3 were sheets and towels from the people who stayed whilst we were away and oneid beach towels. My problem is not too many clothes but a too small washing machine :( ;)

Obviously oneid translates as one is. My phone is too smart for it's own good

Sorry to hear about ERTD SRS. That does suck indeedeth. Going with our theme of looking at the positives - it means you can hang out with us for another month!! :)

Welcome home Nelly. Not impressed with the people who were staying in your house. Surely they should have washed their own linen (and made up your bed again for you).

The new choco-weetabix are amazing. Love them - but DH and I end up eating them for a late night snack as well as breakfast, so the box only lasts 2 days!

Thanks miffles. Yep true true! I can also buy clothes without worrying about them becoming too tight too soon !

nelly ..... Cant believe they lived in your house AND didnt clean up after themselves. I would have been livid! Welcome home anyway, did you go anywhere nice?

It wasn't quite as bad as it sounds, don't worry. There were plusses to offset the washing I had to do ;)

Had a very busy day today, not overly enthusiastic about going back to work tomorrow, but that that's the downside of holidays I suppose! srs yes somewhere very lovely but have decided to not say where. Given some of the information I share on here, I'd hate if anyone I knew "outed" me .

Oh NervousNelly I'm with you on getting through a mountain of washing. I've only been away for 5 nights, but have to do parents laundry as well as mine and DS's. DH gets home tomorrow and I can bet he hasn't done any while he's been at his parents place!!!

No idea if I'm in with a chance this month as not sure if ov'd or not yet and my pant snot has been all over the place (is usually a very reliable indicator). Actually just feel to tired to care. Have had a brilliant week travelling around Scotland, but now just want to sleep and not have another CP and not have to spend all day in the car or sleep in a lumpy bed...

Have mostly caught up on the week, but it's just to much for my tired little brain. Waves Hello to Chocoflakes and SpareRoom. Boo for all the upset-edness of last week (also much Hugs and wine for those in need) and heres to a better week this week.

Well, I've had a crap busy weekend. Dragged on a 2 hour drive to see one of DHs friends. AF got me too. CD2 for me now.

Wanted to stop in and say hi. I'll read everyone's posts and catchup properly tomorrow when I'm at work

Welcome back brassica and nervous. Nothing much to report except I'm on CD41 and don't think I've ovulated. Which is extremely annoying given that I thought I had pant snot a while back (although I did think there wasn't that much of it, and wondered why my temps hadn't risen - doh!) and then put myself on a 2ww which didn't even exist.

No sign of ovulation yet, so I reckon I'm on for at least a 60 day cycle. Still annoyed at my mum who doesn't see why this is a problem and thinks I'm being dramatic for seeing a doctor, and makes comments like, 'oh goodness, you really do want a baby don't you?' in a voice I would have found patronising when I was 7. Grrr. Tempted to say 'well if you'd bothered listening to me when I was a teenager I'd have got it sorted out years ago' but restraining myself...

Hope everyone is okay. Fresher's week over here. Trying not to catch the flu, or to be jealous of all the carefree drinking I can see being done

Morning all. Managed to catch up on everyones updates from the weekend. Sorry for the long cycles and short cycles and the period arrivals!

Miffles without wanting to sound like ATM I think you need to see your doc for 13 day cycles. It's what I had right at this beginning of this malarky journey and blood tests showed I wasn't ovulating.

So period arrived on Saturday. (The temps didn't lie takethat ) I started the increased dose of clomid yesterday. So we'll just have to wait and see. (Yeah, cos I'm good at this patience lark!! ) JSing has been rather sparse . I think, ok I'm pretty sure, I was a bitch from hell last week and DH didn't fancy shagging me. Then ERTD arrived and it's off the cards again.

I've got an exchange student arriving on Monday. Just in time for my window of serious SWI. This will make JSing difficult as DH isn't a fan of doing it while others are in the house

Morning everyone.

Been to dentist again this morning, my own this time, who said to keep going the way I'm going and if I have any more bother to go back, she didn't poke and prod it thankfully. So that's 2 successful and painless visits to the dentist in one weekend, I may have overcome my fear of them!

Wasn't up for much JSing over the weekend but made up for it this morning but does anyone know if there are any dangers of possibly getting pg while on antibiotics?

Sorry ERTD arrived Brassica and that you have to up clomid.

Sorry you're having a hard time too TakeThat, hope it's not a 60 day cycle!

SRS hope you're feeling a bit better, sorry ERTD got you.

Hugs and choccies for everyone (I can't eat them so you lot might as well have them! )

Glad your tooth is settling down josie

Boo for long cycle takethat, but equally you could ov any day now?

Right, who's next for the 2WW? Is it nomore?

Hi everyone, just caught up on all news. Glad your tooth is sorted Josie, and brass, sorry to hear AF has visited. Take That, well, if you haven't ovulated yet, you are still in with a shout this cycle!

Hello newbies!!

I have a sore tooth now - am blaming Josie as never have sore teeth. off to the dentists on Wednesday. I think I OVed this weekend, although we didn't get much JSing in - managed it Thursday night and Sunday morning, so if I oved Sat morning I think it will be over for this month. So annoying as we have been JSing like rabbits almost every other day this month (started off as SWI but then we began to enjoy it so it became JSing). However as haven't been doing OPKs I'm not really sure so let the JSing continue!

A 2WW candidate in harder then. May as well fit another JS in though just to be sure

Yay Josie about your tooth. I'm in the same club as you. Nothing wrong in the tooth, just a niggley bit of gum where the gap is large so having to clean it very thouroughly. Sigh

Please Brassica don't wish a 2WW on me before I've even ov'd! Not feeling confidant this month. Prolly the JS free week hasn't helped. Roll on copius (sp?) but quiet JSing tonight!!!

Actually can't believe I'm typing this on my Dad's computer, so shall log back out and delete the history now me thinks.

Hello all!
gah! At the AF and long cycle business. Fingers crossed for the stronger drugs brassica :)

I have been JS-ing every other day although I really wanted to just go to sleep last night. Think I ov'd yesterday but this time wasn't as painful as usual and boobs don't hurt yet so not really sure. I am teetering on the edge of the 2ww. I am getting really complacent about all of this... need. more. enthusiasm.

Morning,

Glad most viroids are back and accounted for, although vallinna still quiet. I hope she didn't assault the clinic staff and get herself locked up!

Brassica - you're right about seeing the doc but behind the times! I went back in June, have had tests, diagnosed with PCOS and referred to fertility consultant. Appt 12th Oct. So may join you in clomid - really hoping he will prescribe it there and then. Who is doing your prescription and monitoring? You seem to have got hold of clomid very quickly!

Doh, I remember the 12th October appointment now you mention it miffles

It doesn't feel "quickly" as this is the 8th month of ttc I had my appt back in July. The consultant gave me 4 months of clomid then and there. He wasn't going to do any monitoring at all. But I pushed and I'm having progesterone level tests on day 22 which show whether I've ovulated or not.

Ooos, sorry nomore. Enjoy your JSing, there's plenty of time for 2WW madness later on

It all gets a bit boring doesn't it milano

Oh josie you poor thing! Glad you have antibiotics!

Arses for all these long cycles.

I have spent the entire weekend (which started on Thursday night!) in a drunken stupor... I have consumed an obscene amount of booze this weekend for an alocholic, let alone a woman TTC...

I really do just want to die today

Oh vallinna I feel your pain I've been there with the hangover accumulators and they are the worst.

I can recommend alka seltzer, McDonald's, exercise (especially as it's raining - it'll cool down your overheated head ), puke, sleep, puke again. In that order. Works a dream

Thanks ladies for the ovulation encouragement I'm going to start an Ovulation Appreciation Society on facebook. That way people can cheer when people with long cycles finally ovulate. Or at least people can poke me 'til I'm preggo.

Good luck today miffles. How's the tooth josie?
