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

Haha miffles Good job your guests weren't early! Thanks for your support on my question thread too.

Looks like I'm in for another head fuck month! . cd10 and ive got bleeding andpositive opk. No anwer to posts or fecking consultants phone!!

Just a quick iPhone post for now..

Pmsl at 'tending to the fire' Miffles.

Hope you get some answers soon Brassica

As my finger crossing may or may not have helped a pg on the thread. I cross my fingers that everyone gets pg ASAP!

Just a quick hi and goodbye as I need to go to the gym :(

Hi all.

DH is going to tell me off. We're supposed to be on a bit of a healthy eating kick at the mo. He because he is trying to improve his 1/2 marathon time (mad person) and I because my weight is creeping up slowly. But Gu puddings are on BOGOF in Tesco this week so I bought some . We never normally have puddings. I only weakened because I went shopping after a long day at work and was starving. AND I must confess to thinking "hmm, a ramekin, how useful" as the ebay cheapie tests I've just ordered are the dip in type not the pee on type. I think I'm getting a little obsessed as it's only CD10. On last month's count that's a whole 25 days before I'm late and can test.

I hope your consultant gets back to you soon BB. and I did grin at the fire tending story. We have a stove too. DH is rather partial to it as an aphrodisiac!

Hi ladies - welcome to all the newbies :)

brassica maybe it's Clomid-spotting and this is a good sign. I say shag through if you possibly can... but make sure no-one's around. Loving all the stealth (and not-so-stealth) shagging going on around here. miffles, I'm looking at you.

Congrats kitten - that's gotta be a thread record!

I think I've got pant snot at the moment so I'm praying I get more of it and a temp rise by mid-week. 'Cos I'm going to be fucked off if I get past day 51 (my current ttc cycle record) and I haven't even ovulated. Got in 2 shags over the weekend, going to try for 2 more by Weds. Commuting every day this week and it's the first full week of term so I'm going to be knackered after that!

Nothing much else to report. Got free wine because I helped man the Fresher's party in the English Faculty last week. Drank it on the weekend. In between X Factor, Strictly, Downton Abbey, various football matches, and the odd shag That's as exciting as life gets at the moment. Though there's a lot of Take That news at the moment ...

he he sorry, couldn't resist...

Right, busy day too many people around at work today to post. Now I've just finished a 2.5 hour drive back from the airport to pick up our foreign student . He's now fed and watered and surfing the net in his room. Am I really bad if I hope he stays up there for a fortnight?! It's fecking tiring making polite conversation.

It's weight gain in the name of ramekin progress eskarina Oooh, CD10 for me too. Nervous is on about CD12 I think. We can share in the 2ww madness together

Fingers crossed for sustained pant snot and some well timed shagging takethat. It must be driving you mad having to wait for AF until you can get blood tests etc done. It would drive me up the wall!! I managed to miss Strictly on Friday too So far I'm loving Anne Widdecombe though

Oh, and usually I have to pee on a million opks to get even a brief hint of a . Now I can't get rid of the grinning bastard!!

Was just reading the 'blinded by science' thread and thinking she should join the jsers ....then I noticed NMCB had already tried to recruit! Alas, it was another person who had got pg first month of trying. I do like hearing bfp stories as it makes me feel it will happen when its meant to happen.

I am a wee numpty...just clicked it is the same Kitten from this thread and the other thread! You got a double congrats from me :) There was me thinking everyone was starting to get lucky.

p.s. does anyone else think the 2ww is more miserable because of the no drinking thing.

Slap me now viroids!!! A fleeting thought about purchasing TCOYF has just flashed across my subconcious! I've pushed the thought right back down again.

What do you mean no drinking baby2b?

Yip brassica CD12 for me. Managed to JS Saturday morning and Sunday night. Need to squeeze another couple in this week just to up the odds, as not sure how long my cycle will be (was unusually short last month). But I do have pant snot, so I'm in the ball park! Yeah for your :).I presume that's a good thing, in the mysterious world of OPKs

eskarina I too bought Gu puddings, and it did momentarily cross my mind as I put them in the trolley, "oh I can pee in that later". Luckily I didn't say that out loud .

takethat - FREE WINE???? Where do I sign Of course I don't drink as you'll have seen about 2 paragraphs up.

Loving the supermarket sweep for items to pee in

gonna have a night off the JSing tonight. I think the opks are lying as furkling suggests that cervix is very low.

Well, did sneaky bloods tonight - have sent them to the lab and on the computer it says they have arrived. Not sure how long it takes to come back, but my shift finishes at 7.30am...

34!! I think this means I ovulated (although they were done on evening of day 22 rather than day 21, but I don't think it matters too much).

Yay to HTK - done your bloods and got a bit of reassurance! Well done on being sneaky!

All seems to be going on here....viroids ovulating left right and centre. Good stuff girls!

Takethat - remind me, have you been to the docs about your cycles?

Anyone seen vallinna in a while? Hope she's ok .....wanted to ask her if her dildo cams were HSG...?

Oh, pmsl takethat about Mark Owen being responsible for your pantsnot. Ha ha!!

PMSL at the googling! Shall we poll how many people do and don?t get BFPs after googling it?

NoMoreChoc my best mate has an anxiety disorder and it?s like two steps forward, one step back and I wish I could do more to help but it?s such a complex thing isn?t it! Love the Gary Linekar ad by the way PMSL at sex-pesting DH

Aw Miffles how nice of SiL to be sensitive to your feelings and PSML at hewhoshallnotbenamed!

Loving the Jsing on the floor B2B, have to admit we do that sometimes if it?s too early to go to bed . And sometimes dog comes in and I have to ut her out, she has such expressions and she watches us, it?s really not good!

Oooo Brassica exciting about new puppy! My old doggy is getting ill again and I don?t know what I?m going to do so bit at the moment! at labrador putting head on leg whie JSing!

Hi Nicki and Hallie [waves]

Congrats Kitten! Didn?t even get a chance to say hi before you?re off again

Nervous I can relate to being a bit nonchalant towards JSing while on pill, but now a bit more exciting, I just don?t mention that bit to DH as it might put him off!

PMSL at TakeThat?s pant snot at Mark Owen

Hope it?s good news HardertoKidnap!

Well not much to report here except had a fab weekend of eating, entertaining and relaxing for Mam?s birthday. Italian followed by Ladyboys of Bangkok sat night (though slight dampener was put on it by another member of group recently becoming pg and very happy about it), pub lunch with whole family on Sunday, then spa morning, lunch at pub and finally persuaded Mam to get on horsey yesterday. So not wanting to be back at work today but it means I get to talk to all you lovely ladies as home internet is broken and phone won?t load MN.

Have been wearing the shag cape all weekend too but will be very disappointed if all my hard efforts (or should that be DH?s hard efforts don?t pay off)

Hope everyone is good today

Josie that is just too much fun in weekend - JSing, eating, drinking, horse-riding (well, for me, not that last bit, but you obviously love it!) Sounds like your tooth is feeling a lot better, too? I hope so :)

brassica so happy for your :) on the OPKs. I'm adding my bunting in with all the others for your eggs being at the party (PMSL at that - can't remember who said it ;)). Hopefully it's a full-on egg sarnie down there and you'll be preggers in no time.

On your student, I reckon just pretend to shag pretty loudly in the living room, or look a bit guilty and flustered when he comes in. Then he'll stay in his room as much as possible ;)

miffles yep, been to the docs, gotta wait to have a period and then I can do blood tests on days 3-5, 21 and every 7 days thereafter until I ovulate/have a period. I am such an impatient person so this is driving me absolutely nuts. Multiple knicker inspections, peed on a couple of sticks yesterday just in case, all the usual ...

I know I'm a complete telly addict but has anyone been watching Spooks? The main guy in that is so feckin' hot. What with him, Mark Owen and DH I'm never going to know who the father is

Welcome back to normality Josie - I so had a mental note this morning to ask how your weekend was and if your tooth behaved itself. Now annoyed that I forgot!!
Anyway, really glad all went so well - sounds like you had an excellent time. Probably just what you needed as a break from TTC and the yukkiness of your tooth.

Am a bit puzzled by "Ladyboys of Bangkok". In fact, feel a bit squeamish thinking about it....not sure I want you to elaborate!

Not seen Spooks, but heard that Apprentice starts tomorrow night.....yay!

PMSL Miffles! Ladyboys of Bangkok are exactly what you're picturing! It's a big cabaret show inside a huge tent with a bar so everyone is up dancing and it was just fab. Me and best mate bought white fluffy cowboy hats too, as souvenirs of course

Tooth has behaved impecably TakeThatLady, the bottom tooth seems to be through the hole that was infected so there's nowhere to get infected now so hopefully that'll be the last of it! PMSL at not knowing who the father is

Why do people always go on about Monday being so rubbish? It's Tuesday that's the real evil day. And if this isn't PMT then my brain needs to be bitch slapped with a kipper asap.

I'm the same actually NoMore! Been really angry a lot, but don't know why, not due PMT till next wek at earliest, don't understand it (neither does poor DH )

I will hit you with a kipper if you will hit me with a kipper

I am SO with you on Tuesdays. At least there's a bit of novelty on Monday. On Tuesday it's more of the same and there's so much more to come ...

Perhaps we should try to make Tuesdays shag days. At least they won't seem so bad then :)

my Tuesdays are okay.
Mondays are bad, because no one comes in to spend money.

tuesdays, i think people are over that Monday feeling and they appear.

I'm reading to the Beaver Scouts tonight.

Hello viroids. You have been busy as usual. Sadly for me, work gets in the way of spending all day on MN. Stupid jobs, pah :(

Firstly, yes Tuesdays are worse than Mondays. Mondays are where you catch up on the weekend gossip, you know the sort of thing - who shagged who at the weekend, who threw up cos they drank so much, who dumped their boyfriend etc (oh no wait that was 15 years ago ). These days it's more like "well I did the weeding" or something equally rock and roll! Tuesdays are just rubbish days, by Wednesday it's hump day, and it's all downhill to the weekend after that :)

HTK I don't know what 34 means, but assuming you aren't calling out bingo numbers, I'm guessing it's good? Will you be joining me, eskarina and brassica on the 2WW then? Miffles you won't be needing those kippers thanks very much, we will be the epitome of viruous patience.

Josie you weekend sounds fab, unlike TT I also enjoy the horseriding so in my eyes you had a weekend that makes me do this . So are you on 2WW aswell?

takethat - new Spooks? No godamnit, why didn't I know . Though I did stumble on new Series of House last night, now all I need is Glee to start again .

nickelbabe what does that mean - is it rude?

Right here is where I fess up to something. Last night I stumbled upon a thread that is the total opposite of the JS one, and it really really depressed me. I stupidly sat and read through 29 pages of it, it's a support thread for people who have been trying for a v v long time, and are having a torrid time. The ladies on it seem lovely and it's a great support network by the sound of it, but basically now have worried myself sick. I am 36, and if I have to once more read the phrase "your fertility falls off a cliff once you turn 35" I am going to get very, VERY violent . Please help me to return to sanity. We've only been trying for 2 months, and I've decided that in fact neither of those count, as last month my cycle was shorter than expected so don't think we did any JS at the right time (work was stupid busy right up until going on holiday). I was on the pill for a long time, but both before and after had very regular cycles and (now that I know what they are) obvious pains when I'm ovulating. Normally I can tell you what side and exactly when. In fact I'm fairly sure it's happening today! So there is no reason to panic, "just" because I'm 36, right?

On the other hand, I'm wondering if I should (rule breaking alert) be a bit more pro-active simply due to my age. For instance, charting or using OPKs. I know of course it's far to early to "worry" but I think some knowledge might not be a bad thing? I promise (for Miffles especially!) that I'm not going to go down the obsessive route, but I'm already regretting that we dithered so long in making the decision to start trying. I'd hate to think that stubborn-ness now got in the way, so if a few well timed POAS or something would make the difference, it's worth a shot right?

Are you going to kick me off the thread now . Hope not as I like it here!

Off to do some chores (joy) and then have a shower so when OH comes home I will be all fresh and lovely smelling for another injection of well-timed swimmers .

Sorry for the long "me" post. As you were.

You guys are awesome!!! What a great TTC thread, minus all the craziness and obsession (though it can be hard to avoid... I know)

I am 29 (and in some sort of denial about turning 3o very soon) and married for a couple of years. We started ttc last Jan, yet had a tough time of it, as my dad was v ill in hospital for most of it. He eventually passed away last March. All that grief and stress etc took its toll on our efforts (to say the least) so we restarted our efforts a couple of months ago.

Bought some OPK's then realised I really can't be ar sed to use them... so just trying to JS as often as we can. Saying that DH is away for a couple of months... so obviously not getting pregnant in the meantime (that would be difficult to explain)

Quick q: changed my diet and have been eating a lot more raw veggies and fruit last month and noticed a LOT more hmmm pant snot. Is that possible, or is it something completely unrelated?

Anyway... this thread rocks. I reckon shagging lots is the best way forward when ttc. :)
