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

Result! My ebay lady was more than reasonable and has offered to refund the coat and all costs. Am now v happy, although still in need of a new coat.

takethatlady · 07/10/2010 07:50

Oh my god you lot you're making me hungry! Not a biscuit in sight in this house, either, and though I could go to the shop to get them I'm working from home and I can't be bothered to get out of my PJs. But those caramel digestives are sex on toast ...

Love you too brassica! How do you know it hasn't worked with the Clomid? Don't lose heart - you never know, and even if it hasn't maybe you can twist the doctor's arm to up your dose?

Shhhhhhhh but 97.78 here today. Looking hopeful that I finally ovulated. So count me in to my second 2ww this 'month'. This will be a nine week cycle. Nine weeks! Joke!

takethatlady · 07/10/2010 08:22

I know this makes me nuts Confused (that's my nuts face) but the due date calculator doesn't even have a 64 day cycle option on it! I had to lie and pretend my cycle would have been 50 days long but that it started 2 weeks later.

2DPO and already I know when I'm due. This is going to be a long 2ww Blush

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 07/10/2010 08:27

Right Hugh Ferny-Twittington has organised a land share thingy, I'm organising a cycle sharing thingy. TakeThat here has more cycle than she needs. If all the viroids with cycles that are to short form an orderly line she'll give you a few days of hers. We'll do this until everyone has a nice orderly, average cycle (with ov). And a caramel digestive. oh Vallinna you stand beside TakeThat.

Right everybody ready? Go.

takethatlady · 07/10/2010 10:16

nmcb brilliant idea. I'm willing to give away 30 days. That'll take me to 27 on my shortest cycle and 34 on my current record.

These days are free, unused, and in excellent condition. Be warned, however, that some of them may carry side effects, including excessive googling, phantom breast tingling, and occasional insanity.

Any takers?

takethatlady · 07/10/2010 10:18

Whoops - bad maths there. Better make it 21 days just in case.

nickelbabe · 07/10/2010 11:32

NoMoreChocBiscuits - I've done a bit of research for you - the best one for beginners I can find is on youtube. The videos are by Expert Village and the demonstrator is Shahira.
here's one for shimmying -
there are loads more that she's done - they seem to be under "egyptians bellydance" headers. but if you stay with Shahira and Expert Village, you'll be okay.

Don't forget to warm up and cool down - you only need to to half an hour a atime to start with :)

vallinnapod · 07/10/2010 11:41

NMCB - good lord you may all have AT LEAST 30 days...in fact I refuse to give away any less per peson Wink

I'm with Brassica and in lurker mode. Nowt to report here. Body doing f'all. Next docs appointment on Tuesday.

Did I mention they fucked me around....AGAIN? I have waited two and a half weeks for an appointment as it was to see my consultant (well, the one I have see ONE whole time before now) They then call me at the weekend to say I can't see her (no explanation) but I can see someone else at the same time/date. I couldn't care less who I see, I couldn't care more at waiting so long for nothing. Grrrrr fucking grrr!

Thanks - rant over!

Muchos love to one and all

Miffles · 07/10/2010 18:36

Hey all - have been so busy with RL, haven't had a chance to write on here since Tue. What's all that about?! Can't I tell work I need to come in late, so I can talk to my proper viroids friends on MN. Humph.

Crap crappiness to Brassica and Vallinna. Sucks boo yay to our crappy bodies. In the nicest possible way I hope mine behaves itself better. Am counting the days til next Tue (same as Vallinna) when I see the consultant for the first time. Hoping to get clomid, but at least I'm realistic about it maybe probably not working at all first time.

Oh, Brassica - what happened with your spotting/bleeding. Did you manage to speak to the consultant, or did it stop?

Ha ha ha ha ha to NMCB!! I am at the top of the queue for extra days. Since my last cycle was a blooming 12 days, that is more bleeding days than not.

Good news about poss ovulation, Takethat. Really positive. Know you've waited an age, but something happening is good.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 07/10/2010 18:56

Miffles I'm off to pilates in a bit too. You do realise that I will now be lookin askance at all the girls in class, wondering if I'm not the only viroid present!

Feeling very confused in the last days of my 2WW. Have been convinced period is a coming, but last 2 days have had a low grade nausea then this afternoon was hit with a wave of real I might throw up type of nausea. Confused!! Roll on Saturday I say! Need to know if I'm buying wild yam or wine.

Miffles · 07/10/2010 20:17

ooo....were we in the same class??? how funny!!! you should have shouted out "viroid" and saw if anyone responded!!

I tried to stiffle a giggle during ours. Whilst we were doing a child-pose stretch to one side, I looked behind me and could just see lots of bottoms!! Sadly the stiffle didn't work and there was a most unladylike snort! Grin

Sounds promising symptoms NMCB - saturday really isn't that long away. I hope your car isn't a 2 seater convertible! Wink

NervousNelly · 07/10/2010 21:21

. 2DPO, tra la la. Too soon for symptom spotting? Wink. Boooorrrrrrrriiiinnngggggg.

Don't need any of your cycle Takethat or Vallinna, thanks. But can anyone trade me a younger model of egg/ovary combo? Hmm.

Car didn't get home today, boo (was it me you were thinking of miffles - in which case no it's a lovely child-friendly estate :)) but I'm promised it tomorrow. Is it wrong that I love my car this much Grin

JosieSmith1 · 07/10/2010 21:29

Evening everyone.

I'm off work poorly sick today and taking tomorrow off too. Sad Just a cold but haven't got the energy for work. Think my body is telling me I need a rest. Refuse t take Beechams or similar just in case I'm early pg Hmm

Anyway, hope everyone is ok, I'll catch up properly tomorrow when I should be feeling more human and able to concentrate

P.S. [whispers] I don't feel pg yet. Biscuit

milanomum · 07/10/2010 22:01

Hello all,
Sorry but I've been awol with work which has been mental but has distracted me from my 2ww which was a blessing.
Have had all kinds of ridiculous symptoms but still have sore tits which prob means it's a no-win this month. Will find out Monday when I'll be officially late.

Brassica how's it all going?
takethat glad you are getting positive signs - I didn't know it was humanly possible to have that long a cycle - maybe you and Vallina should speak to the Guinness book people? ;)

I'm very impressed with the bendy people here - I'd love to do pilates but it costs a bomb over here so can't justify it. Plus I'm crap at going to exercise classes and don't much want to look at other women's bums.

nomore how are you doing? we are almost cyle buddies if I remember well. Are you going mental? I've had a heightened sense of smell, a bit of nausea, cravings for crisps (which is perfectly normal for me), occasional cramps... and I'm not even excited. I just don't get the preg vibe.

Josie hope you're better soon.

CuckooLacroix · 08/10/2010 08:00

Hey,

Just joined Mumsnet today - scary!! Loved the sound of this thread and have been pissing myself reading it... brilliant job girls! Loving the relaxed vibe.

Am a 27yr old English girl living in Shanghai, started TTC a month ago - period due yesterday and no sign, but DH away until tomorrow so going to wait until he's back. To scared to do it on my own....

Feeling very crampy and gross, and covered in spots so is probably just my first real period in 11 years (been on the pill since I was 16). Am total hypochondriac though spent waaaaaay too much time on all the websites reading waaaaaay much into the early signs (and of course I think I have all of them...)

None of my friends are even married yet let alone having kids (and my husband is 25, so he's no help!) so is nice to be able to talk about it with someone.

Good luck to you all Wink

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 08/10/2010 08:48

Hello to our new newbies Grin. Jump on in, we're all mad the water's fine Grin

Miffles I'm in an 8pm class and there was no baby postures going on. I did have to resist the temptation to whisper Miffles are you here as the first class came out and mine went in. PMSL at you snorting though. Grin I was to busy using the breathing to get through the waves of nausea Confused to start anything like that.

Milano yep we're cycle buddies at the mo. Am due tomorrow and desperately want to POAS even though I know it's to early. I'm so confused by my body this month.

Chin up viroids. It's Friday and I assume a lot of you will be proping up a bar somewhere this evening in true JSing style (not naming names of course..).

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 08/10/2010 08:49

Did I really say chin up? Apparently I'm about 60 now. Gah.

takethatlady · 08/10/2010 10:33

Hey ladies and newbies, thanks for all the messages.

No bar-propping for me tonight :( Unless I can persuade DH to come out and get slaughtered with me. nervous we're cycle buddies - I'm 3DPO. I'm testing not this Sunday but next - how about you? Have to test then as am going shopping with four friends from school - 2 are preggo and due around Christmas. Need fortifications!

My eggs/ovaries are an open bar - take what you want ladies Grin. Perhaps it's just that I'm in a bloody good mood having heard the new TT single. Another year of spending ridiculous amounts of money on tickets, wrecking my marriage by putting the album on endless repeat, and fantasising about Mark Owen in his pants (and out of them) begins ...

nickelbabe · 08/10/2010 12:11

Welcome Cuckoo! Pull up a pew and have a biscuit! Grin

milanomum · 08/10/2010 13:39

ARGH! not only does the red fecker arrive, but she's early goddammit!

NervousNelly · 08/10/2010 15:11

Oh no Milano. fuckity fuck. And other such charming phrases. I like red fecker as a new name though.

Yeah for cycle buddies Takethat. I haven't worked out when I'm testing, cos I'm JSing, remember?? Hmm. But, if I WERE to test, prob not till the Monday or Tuesday. Last cycle was 25 days and the one before 28. So I want to wait until at least the Monday which would be 25. Thing is I normally get spotting for a good few days before, so I'll probably be heartbroken know anyway :(

Got my car back at last. Yeah! Oh and boss unexpectedly bought cakes. Plus I'm winning £112m on lotto tonight, so all is well :)

Hello cuckoo welcome!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 08/10/2010 15:12

Ah Milano, that sucks! You get to start the weekend early with this giant (though sadly virtual) glass for vino.

Nickle, haven't looked at that youtube clip yet but shall def give it a look the next time youtube isn't being used for train watching (DS love them!)

Did anyone see Ugly Betty this week? I can just see viroids the world over trying to be sneaky buying feeding -their peesticks addiction--

Nothing to report here

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 08/10/2010 15:13

glass for vino?! glass OF vino.

BrassicaBabe · 08/10/2010 18:12

Fuck!

Not sure if you've been following my threads on the main board. But I've had a head fuck of a week. Which is why I've not been able to post here. (Plus work, plus pesky student)

I've had 5 days of positive OPKs. This isn't supposed to happen. I has just occured to me that you also get a LH surge when BFP. So I've tested and BFP even though I'd only peed 2 hours ago.

I had a period 25th to 27th Sept but it was light. I've been light bleeding 7th Oct to today.

It's probably all bollocks. But I'm heading out to buy a digital test.

You guys are the first to either share my news or share in another chapter of my mentalness!!!
