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

Eurgh!! Brassica's a smelly tramp Wink

Truffkin · 30/09/2010 12:56

Brassica PMSL at POAC debacle, hope you sort it out! I've had a strange week in the bodily function department. As you know, ERTD arrived unceremoniously early on Sunday and pissed me right off. Then Monday was light / spotting, seemed to have stopped. Tuesday again bit of spotting but stopped again by evening and evening JSing didn;t get it going properly. Yesterday and today, nothing at all. I'm not sure how I feel about this, I mean if my body just decides on 2 1/2 day very light periods with no pains then great but if it means something's not working....Confused

So I started temping yesterday and will see how that goes for a couple of months before I let the mental in too far. At least with very short periods I can JS pretty much anytime with no distractions!

Vallinna please you can get your tests and bloods done at the GP, one less cost for you to account for

Esk even though I know that's not the kind of attention you were after Wink hope DH gets the message soon

Josie the wisdom tooth situation rumbles on then, it feels like you've been suffering for ages so goodness knows what it must feel like when you're actually going through it! Hope the drugs kick in so you can enjoy your food and drink-a-thon at the weekend.

In other news we did have a good day yesterday as we let our flat out for the full asking price and our landlord agreed to do a couple of things in the place we are living without upping the rent we're paying. We went on a date night to celebrate (well, and I did have a voucher for BOGOF at Pizza Express!!)

Hope everyone's Thursdays are progressing nicely. Almost at the weekend ladies, it's just over the brow of that next hill Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 30/09/2010 14:07

Hmm interesting.

(Okay so maybe goes against thread ethics, but as some of you may end up going down this route, why not?)

vallinnapod · 30/09/2010 15:17

Tres interesting NMCB. I have also noticed that where IVF results in twins they are nearly all boy/girl.

takethatlady · 30/09/2010 15:34

Yes... interesting ... I reckon there's a higher ratio of boy-girl twins on IVF than conceived naturally because quite a lot of the latter will be identical. The IVF twins are usually from several embryos beint used in the same cycle, aren't they?

PMSL brassica. I'm sure no-one will notice a bit of pee on you Grin

I am Blush and Biscuit and a bit Envy (sick-feeling emoticon, not envy) because today I posted on my facebook page, 'Takethatlady wore a slutty dress, knee-high boots and shed loads of make-up today. Still the students can spot my ancientness a mile off'. As I only have people I know on FB and not randoms, and as I have the highest privacy settings possible for anyone but friends, I thought this would be fine. Except I forgot that I accepted (after pestering) the old and weird computer guy from my old job last week and couldn't work out how to limit my profile from him. He has now written 'Now I'm stuck with the image of you in a slutty dress, knee-high boots and shed loads of make-up!'
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

Needless to say, he is now on limited profile and I am thinking of blocking him.

I am an idiot!

vallinnapod · 30/09/2010 16:08

Oh takethat - I feel your pain.

In my last job I forgot I had accepted our team secretary as a 'friend' and posted something about how much of a tosser are boss was (it was all true Wink) and she commented something along the lines of 'Ohh....I promise not to tell'.....twat. Still marginally less embarrassing then your pseudo-stalker! What with Brassica and the pee it really is a day for the JShaggers! I am worried about what I may do....although yesterday I walked in on a bloke having a wee (he'd left the door unlocked...!) and worked out mid-arvo I had my knickers on inside out...!

JosieSmith1 · 30/09/2010 16:59

Oh dear we all seem to be having bad days today! What with Brassica's clothes having a golden shower, TakeThat's stalker and Vallinna's comments about her boss! I put my foot in it today with a lady at work who is dating someone from another office, who may/may not be cheating on her Shock we're not sure yet, anyway, someone else (are you confused yet Grin) emailed me today asking if the man in question was leaving work to live with his mother down south as his father had died. Not knowing, I tried to find out discreetly by asking the lady's friend, who promptly asked lady in question Shock, turns out his dad died years ago, so not sure what's going on. Either way, lady is annoyed at me, annoyed at other lady who originally emailed me, so have sent a very apologetic message to first lady.

Does that make sense?

Miffles · 30/09/2010 18:20

Not really, Josie, but that may be because I'm knackered.

I managed to make the whole of Lloyds bank think I'm bonkers. Went to pay my pay cheque in, and filled in the slip and the envelope. Was about to post it through the post box things inside the bank - deposit slot thing. Heard some scuffling behind the wall it is in, so when I opened up the flap, I looked in and saw a lady collecting the envelopes. So i dropped mine in and said "Thank you!". She smiled at me and said "No problem". But of course no one else in the bank saw or heard her. To them, I was putting my deposit in the drop box and thanking it!! Hmm I felt like turning round and saying "there was a lady there! I was thanking the lady!"

Sigh.

Eskarina · 01/10/2010 07:47

Sorry everyone seems down at the mo. Thanks for the hugs - as you say, not quite what I was after, but it's the best I got. I was at a school governors' meeting last night so didn't get in til 9. DH was shattered (and so was I) and I hardly got a hug hello/goodnight. We're going to stay with my parents this weekend so there's no chance of any JS - we wouldn't dare!
Also, whilst I seem to have had my period last weekend, it's gone back to the slow drip that I had in the fortnight before. That means I've been bleeding, just a little bit, for nearly 3 weeks now. That's not right is it? I'm going to give it til monday then try to get an appointment with the GP.

Sorry I'm so grumpy at the momeny. Hope everyone has a good, exciting weekend coming up.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 01/10/2010 09:41

I cannae be arsed today. Had my first pilates class since before the last CP and holiday. It was so good to be active again, but I'm exhausted today and now have to walk to the supermarket with DS (and it's not close), come home entertain DH, finish sewing an apron, vacuum, wash (and dry not doubt) all the dishes, go to a friends place, come home cook dinner..... Can I just go back to bed please. Am so glad that my ov window has past as I truely can't be bothered with shagging right now.

Last night DH asked me if I could feel anything sticking in there. He was a bit 'oh (let down face)' when I told him it can take over a week for implantation to occur. I really think he thinks he has SUPER sperm and therefore I should be feeling knocked up about 10 minutes after sex. Silly man! (Ah but he's so sweet and cute too)

And of course it's started to rain! I may name change to OldMotherHubbard by the end of the day, because at this rate my cupboards are going to remain bare!

Right rant/sulk/wibble over. Have a good friday/weekend all. I'll be the one sleeping in the corner in a sober stuper. Grin

takethatlady · 01/10/2010 10:53

Wow nomorechoc your routine sounds like that of a 1950s housewife! I hope you get some me time in there sometime this weekend - and that your DH is right about his super-sperm. They've got in there several times before so you've got every chance :)

LOL miffles at your crazy bank antics. I'm sure we've all said thank you to the cashpoint at one time or another, but that's taking it a step too far! Ah dear, miffles has got an imaginary friend, josie's got her foot in it, brassica's walking about wearing a pee-cardie, and vallinna's slagged her boss off a little too loudly. Makes me feel a lot better about creepy Steve! (Walks around with mental picture of JSers all over the country acting like batty old ladies Grin)

No less than 3 students at the first-year drinks party were stunned to discover I am a lecturer. Yip yip. That's all I was waiting for. Now I can go back to slummy-ness.

STILL no sign of frigging ovulation. CDGodKnowsWhat (after mental calculations, CD44). Hmm

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 01/10/2010 12:10

Haha TakeThat, yep I've got me little pinny over my full skirt and high heels on. If I'm lucky DH will buy me a washing machine for Christmas this year.

Actually decided to go down the Old Mother Hubbard route. Have spent the morning ignoring the house work and have been sewing instead. I should mention the apron is for a 3 year old's birthday present. And DH is still out so don't have to entertain him after all, just DS Grin

Good work on fooling them freshers! Grin

GrinGrin at the vision of JSer's across the land as batty old women. I bags battering people with the umbrella! (a la Monty Pythons Hells Grannies sketch)

JosieSmith1 · 01/10/2010 12:17

PMSL Miffles that?s the sort of thing I would do, but I would actually be thanking the deposit box! GrinBlush

Aw, sorry you?re not having a good time Eskarina but good that you?re going to GP, they will hopefully put your mind at ease

NoMore you sound like a busy lady at the moment! PMLS at your DH thinking he has super sperm, DH said that to me when we first started, seeing as he has 3 nephews and 2 neices, he reckons his whole family have super sperm! Blush

Yippee TakeThatLady, your efforts paid off Grin

Hurrah for batty old ladies Grin

Well, after hearing horror stories about having teeth out, I will probably never eat properly again! Apparently even when numbed you feel them tug it out and I?m horrendously squeamish about teeth so can?t deal with that, so unless they knock me out it?s gonna have to stay in there!

Hugs to eveyrone I?ve missed

NervousNelly · 01/10/2010 12:45

Hello everyone, just a quick one from me. Glad to see you are all crazy well as normal :)

Didn't manage any Js on our anniversary as was just too tired. That never happens! I must be getting old :( However OV this weekend-ish, so I better get busy Grin

On iPhone which is too difficult to type on! Thanks for those that made me laugh and boo-hiss fir all the rubbish getting the rest of us down. My particular grumble is that the Garage have not fixed my car despite having it for 3 weeks now ( it was only a minor bump!) so I'm driving round in a crappy Meriva! Sorry if you have one, but it's terrible :(

takethatlady · 01/10/2010 14:50

Ha ha. We have a Micra which is nearly as bad. It's the car they take the piss out of in those crap adverts about how British people can't haggle. Even DH looks like a batty old lady in it!

eskarina I think a trip to the doctor's office is definitely in order. If you've got something to complain about (which you have) it seems easier to get them to look into your fertility, etc, than it would be otherwise. At least that was my experience.

josie I had teeth out as a teenager and although you can hear the crack Shock it really isn't that bad. It's over in a second. It's way better than having it done under general anaesthetic as long as you don't try to eat a hot dog afterwards, while half your face is still numb Blush

Where has brassica gone? She just peed on her cardigan and went MIA ... I hope she's not been arrested, or put in a home Grin

Good luck with the ovulation JSing nervous

JosieSmith1 · 01/10/2010 16:24

Thanks TakeThatLady, I have a feeling it's one of those things that takes ages to pluck up the courage to do, but then when it's done you think 'was that it!' Hope so anyway. I'm just a wimp when it comes to teeth! You never know, they might sort themselves out before that becomes necessary anyway.

Went to the yard on lunch break with DH and asked if he got my note this morning about doing the housework and being, ahem, rewarded Wink for it and he liked the idea very much, then told me to stop talking about it otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out of the car ShockBlush

At least it works! Grin

JosieSmith1 · 01/10/2010 17:01

Just have to add - I can bite!!!!! GrinGrinGrin

I have scared myself silly googling tooth extraction and miraculously cured myself!!! I can put my left teeth together and the pressure feels sooooo good. I will be eating something extra yummy tonight!

Think celebratory JS is in need tonight Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 01/10/2010 18:46

Oh Josie if only excessive googling could cure everything else! We'd have nothing left to moan about (baby at first google anyone?) Grin

Miffles · 01/10/2010 19:16

You guys crack me up! I too am imagining us all as batty women, around the country. Most of us out terrorising the general public, but Brassica put in a home for pee-ing on random items of clothing! Grin

Got my sisters and their DH's coming for dinner tonight. Had thought to do something for them, but life happened instead. So have stuck jacket pototoes in the oven and tuna and baked beans. It's the company that counts, isn't it?!

Really glad your tooth has settled down Josie - you can now enjoy your fun weekend.

Eskarina and Nelly and NMCB - give your self some time off. ATM is forever telling us that there aren't just a few days when you can conceive, so take a chill pill. The stress of making yourself JS would probably be counterproductive. I think stress reduces progesterone, so delays ovulation, or prevents a sticky bean or something. Hmm

However, to give balance - has anyone else read the thread about JSing 3x a day?!? Confused (that is my face if I tried to do it 3 times a day!!)

Hope everyone has a good friday night, out of this disgusting weather.

milanomum · 01/10/2010 21:09

Much lolage at the lady in the bank and old mother hubbard.

miffles jacket potatoes rock. yum yum.

I have sore boobs today. But I am pretty sure i ovd last Sunday.What's that about? It took them a week to catch up or something...normally I get them the day after ov. Maybe it's non-implantation (boo)or maybe it's implantation (yey) or maybe it's late ov (boo) or maybe ... oh I feckin give up.

3 x a day??!!! Do they have no life? Hmm

NervousNelly · 01/10/2010 21:42

Oooh miffles I hope I didn't mis-represent my dismay?! I was genuinely annoyed that I missed a lovely romantic anniversary shag Grin or should that be :(. I'm actually really quite chilled about the actual sex part! I can hand on heart say that when we're having sex I am only ever thinking about one thing, and it's not children Wink. I'm only on my second cycle of trying, so I do keep an eye on when I'm supposed to be OV'ing, but the JS is most definitely not effort Grin

Fire is on, the only good thing about bad weather! About to have a Gu pudding (nothing at ALL to do with the ramekins!!) and have had some lovely red wine. AAAHHHHHHHH. Now on Josie's advise, I am off to Google "how to win the lottery without buying a ticket" to see if this principle works!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 01/10/2010 21:56

Miffles no shagging here tonight I'm quite sure and oddly happy about. As I said this morning am to tired. The shagging I had earlier this week however was very enjoyable and totally stress free. It really was just luck that it occured at ov time. Didn't do half the things on my list today as I am actually a lazy bisum (and proud of it).

As for the rest of the stress in my life I/we (me and DH) are tackling things one at a time. DH does suffer from an anxiety disorder which means that things will never be as straight forward as they could be, but things could (and have) been a whole lot worse.

Oh my goodness, Gary Lineker is dancing in the rain to it's raining men. I'm now very disturbed!

Right off to join Nervous googling winning lotto Grin

vallinnapod · 01/10/2010 22:09

3 times a day Confused In the nicest possible way we struggle with 3 times a week what with work, social life and the need to eat and sleep. Does this make us old?!

DH is away so watching TV and eating phish food!

Bit disappointed with Strictly...but then it does take a while to get into these things. LOVE LOVE LOVE it takes two during the week.

BrassicaBabe · 02/10/2010 09:36

3 times a day?! It could be the new fad weight loss programme! Hoe do they find time to eat?!

I've finished peeing on inanimate objects Grin

Going to have to google stress levels and progesterone now miffles

josie often tooth extraction is much more about leverage the pulling. There will be no "foot on chest". Grin

Morning all! Also on iPhone but only cos I can't be arsed getting up Blush. had some very lovely Saturday morning JS, though was a bit perturbed to discover the cat had jumped on the bed half way through and was curled up sleeping Shock. Perv... Now drinking a very nice latte OH made me. He is off cycling, and I'm wondering why on earth we'd want kids, as they'd get right in the way of this kind of Saturday morning Hmm. I think I'm joking? But on the other hand, it's why I'm on the JS thread in the first place. We are just seeing what happens ( though I should add we are of course totally ok with the potential BFP outcome, and would be fully committed to parenthood!)

Didn't mean for that to be so serious, sorry! Best get out of bed and stop musing :)
