Thread for the fanjo-furkling, red-fecker-hating, ramekin-peeing JSers

[takethatlady]

The (updated) '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). Horse-riding and other dangerous activities are also actively encouraged.

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

Keep acronmyage to a minimum! EWCM is now to be referred to as 'pant snot'. Try not to get sucked in by Fertility Friend (at least for a while), but knowing where you are in your cycle and furkling for pant snot is most definitely allowed. If you're a midwife, you can even get other midwives to furkle for you

Keep us up to date with gossip!

Most of these rules are well and truly broken!! But we try to chill - honest

Shout if I've missed anyone.

Evening Viroids!

Well firstly can I just say - a horrible scary ugly baby girl with PeeWee Herman. WTF????

Whereas I actually know I'm having a cute-as-a-button boy by either Johnny Depp or George Clooney (I'm torn - JD is clearly good father material, but already has kids so may be distracted. GC is the opposite, but is veeery sexy. Hmmm [hhmm])

BB - how exciting for CD10. I've sort of lost track. I think I must be CD6. ERTD has definitely left. Sent OH a text earlier to tell him I was excited about seeing him later (he was away last night). He replied asking if this meant he was getting a 3 course meal when he got home, but then said he'd be happy with Pasta and a Shag [hwink].

Bugger now I can't go back and read everyone else's posts. Josie - I suggest not TTC, just shagging . I'm afraid I'm with everyone else in the F-the-E attitude. We'll find a way.

Vallina I agree with miffles on your PG colleague. Two fingers up to her. She'll probably get a baby that looks like my alledged PeeWee Herman Love Child

. Sorry if I missed you out

Yeah! Everyone has finally descended into my "meh" attitude! Actually, sorry, that sounds really mean.... Sorry peeps are finding things tough at the moment. I gave up actually trying months ago, as naturally I don't stand a chance and I haven't yet been given drugs. But it does take the pressure off. I think it actually does no harm to chill out over it all.

Having said that, I'm counting the days til I'm given clomid, then I'll be waiting to start it and can really join in on the madness!

Nelly - after all your spotting, was your AF much lighter than usual? Mine was over in about 3 days, normally 5...

Enjoy your dog BB - good practice for baby! At least you'll have him housetrained before bubba is here.

Vallinna - drugs....hmm...getting serious now... Good luck!

Not really Miffles. Thing is I actually had LESS spotting than I normally get, which is what was confusing me .

Ah well, all that to come this month. Assuming I can get any well timed JSing due to OH going away this weekend

I whole heartedly support the meh attitude to TTC. That was me last month and, well you know the rest (oh go on poke your tongues out and give me the fingers, you're all entitled too )

I was going to come in an throw around the baby dust I found in the lining of my (now defunct) shag cape, but that seems a bit inapropriate (sp?) today, so instead I'll just spike everyone's drink with it instead [hgrin]

Afternoon all.

Working from home today so free to MN without anyone looking over my shoulder.

CD11 and maybe the madness is building. I have ov'ed the last 2 cycles on CD12.

I have to say I hate the timed shagging. But then I find myself feeling cross if DH doesn't fancy it. I have this row in my head that goes "Well, I don't mind you not fancying it, but can you please decide this 10 days ago before I fill my body with heavy chemicals and hormones that are potentially dangerous to me??!" Of course, I say nothing and try to look sexy!

Oh, and fancy a laugh? This morning big dog woofed loudly. So little dog crapped on me!! [hgrin]

Loving the 'meh' attitude

Actually I'm feeling calm. The tiny bit of spotting went nowhere, and I took another pregnancy test and it said Pregnant 3+ weeks, which is the first time it's ever said that, so feel okay. Had to be at work early today but definitely going to the doctor's tomorrow. On Friday I'll be buying TT tickets for a concert I won't be able to attend because I'll be in labour. But it feels like tempting fate not to buy them, like I'll not buy them and then something will go wrong.

You're meant to go overdue with your first baby anyway, right? So maybe I'll be still preggo and able to go.

LOVE the dress miffles.

We do need to carry more of the into the grads thread.

I don't feel baby movement. Meh. Meh. Meh.

Worked for conception though. 'If I fall this month, I'll be first trimsester all holiday and it might just arrive at the end of the second teaching semester and you're away a lot....Meh'

2 weeks later.

'Ooops'.

Puppy sounds super-cute Brassica - hope the bigger one isn't terrorising too much!

Good luck with getting some JS action in, nelly.

Miffles lovely dress - very glam!
I had the 'meh' month and then got pregnant. Not that they are connected of course but still...
BB I love dogs and Springers are just so...springy and energetic! Great practice for a toddler I reckon LOL at the crapping!

I'm just in denial for the moment and like TTL waiting for the 8 week mark before i tell someone... 6 weeks today though :)

hope everyone's ok!
x

Urgh...feeling negative today. Nothing's changed, but found some scary stats on a random website. Like only 9% chance of getting pg...Stoopid me for looking and even giving it an ounce of credance. Roll on Monday...

Your dog crapping story did make me laugh, BB. Just as well you don't have the big dog that is scared of a little dog...might have been more crap to clear up!!

I was kind of hoping that the timed shagging would help - focus the mind and at least know we were doing something constructive. Maybe I shouldn't expect it to go too smoothly then... BB are you using OPKs? Do you have PCOS too?

TTL - I will SO buy the tickets off you if you can't go!! I went to see TT in Cardiff last year (or year before? Can't remember) the Circus tour. Was so amazingly brilliant. Did you hear them on Radio 1 this morning?

And glad to hear our other pg viroids are doing ok and all the beans are sticking. Good news indeed [hsmile]

Damn miffles beat me to the TT tickets. Meh.

I did indeed get my shag last night! Just for fun, no TTC as was too early. But hey, a shag's a shag! Though now I'm wondering why I've got lower stomach pains on my right side, near ovary. I do get this when I ovulate but it's too early (cd8) and no pant snot. So now I'm convinced I have an ectopic from last month. I suspect though it's just cos I'm bored in the 2ww before the 2ww, so I'm finding things to Google. Meh again.

Bb sorry about the puppy crap, but a springer sounds lovely. Will it be a worker?

Hey everyone, not posted for a few days now, one of my cats has been really ill so all energy and attension on her! She seems to be making a good recovery now so fingers crossed.

I'm attempting the meh attitude but can't pull it off since I just did an opk and found tonights the night .. was worried had missed the window of opportunity since no Js'ing over the weekend due to poorly cat. BUT JS'd last night smiley face today so have caught the window and its still open and will be used!

I too new to have a shag cape - NMCB can I borrow your now redundant cape for luck please?

Glad all the pregnant ladies are doing well. TTL PMSL at your weekend antics! Miffles you'll knock then dead in that dress very sexy and sassy. BB timed shagging not ideal but hopefully it will pay off for us all eventually!

Soo I'm about to decend into 2ww torture, who's joining me??

I did a pg test - BFN. But it was fun! Internet cheapie (and they really are, aren't they!) that came free ( well, that's what I told DH ) with the pre-seed. So my ERTDs have been ERTD, not heavy spotting masking a pregnancy. Seems I'm NOT one of those ladies who is up-duffed and did not know it.

Why am I not surprised?! [hgrin]

Miffles - LOLs at the PG test...do you want to feel better? I did one last week....despite knowing I haven't ovulated since the '90s AND I hadn't had sex for a month

Can I join? I was reading the initial post and thinking 'I can't join them because I'm thinking about TTc too much' but it seems that actually, everyone on here is, but you're encouraging each other not to become too obsessed. Am I right? Or have I got it wrong? Anyway, if I am right, I'd love to join your gang... I need some people to help keep me sane during my short burst of TTC before I have to stop in Jan (end of contract at work so wouldn't get maternity pay after that, which would be a nightmare!). Can try again from August next year so long as I have another job. So feeling quite a lot of pressure to get pregnant NOW but also trying to be oh so cool about it - you know, if it's meant to be, it will happen... Hmmm...

Also, is this thread for people TTC their first, or is it just anyone TTC?

Welcome ovumahead. It's for everyone here! I think most of us are trying for a first, but a few already have one. I think you're in the right place! Yes you've summed us up. We're trying to be casual and just see what happens (these were literally the words OH and I exchanged a few months ago); but actually on here we're slightly more obsessed than I think we'd all like .

So on that note. Still have out of character period/ovulation style pains, at totally the wrong time of the month. Tomorrow I am due to have a dental exam and (oh joy) a smear. So I think I might be tempted to POAS just to check. Which is nuts, isn't it? We all know it'll be a BFN, cos I had a period after all .. Obsessed? Us? [hgrin]

Ladies, you should all be slapped with kippers but it can't be by me as I am a testaholic. Still doing it now (did one just now, before I go to the doctor, just in case for some reason I turned up there and they say 'you're blatantly not pregnant you nutjob. Go home and stop being mental'). The worst thing is since I meddled around with the cheapies I don't trust myself to use them if they don't have firm packaging around them to stop me engineering my own positives, so now I'm spending fortunes.

It was my last digi today. I will not buy more, I will not buy more, I will not buy more....

Welcome to the newbies! Good luck!

Ooh that's settled about TT then. I will be buying the tickets and I'll keep you ladies in mind! Last time I went it was my 27th birthday and DH and I queued for 10 hours to be at the front. It was soooo worth it. Not sure DH has forgiven me. This time I'll have to get seated tix instead of standing as 9 months preggo and standing for over ten hours will not be fun :)

Finally got doc-ed up. Got all my forms. Gotta pee in a test tube now since the hospital told me I had a mild urine infection and forgot to give me antibiotics.

He said it's well and truly stuck now, so I guess I've gotta take it seriously from this point on, and stop freaking out at every symptom.

I am a moron in the doctors. I get shy and tongue-tied. Also horrified to learn I am both fatter and shorter than I thought I was .

The main bit of advice was not to go scuba-diving. Babies can't get rid of the bubbles, apparently, because they don't breathe. It's going to be hard, but I reckon I can manage it

Good news TTL (about the DR and sticky bean, NOT tt tickets :-P ). Now stop making some Clear Blue Heir richer than they need to be!

PS 'Wolf Whistle' emotiocon in Miffles direction.

Hello to Ovumhead

AndI'd give you my shag cape Dyna, but it's now my cape of comfort as I laze about on the couch feeling utter wretched (being pg is great, haha). Will happily spike you drink with more baby dust though

Miffles I lurve that dress, tres glamourifique (or something).

Hello everyone else, have forgotten all I was going to say as I am still full of this stinking chest infection Within the last 12 hours, two people have told me I look exhausted (which I am). Period due over the weekend, joy of joys, so I'll look forward to that.

Yip I tested, just in case. 3 times. It was, surprise, surprise, a BFN. . Mind you, the first two were invalid, no control line appeared, so really I only tested once .

Still, it was a completely pointless exercise, other than when the nurse asks me later, whilst my feet are sexily hoisted in to stirrups "are you pregnant?", I can confidently say no.

OH now away for a few nights, just as my iphone app tells me I'm entering the fertile period :(. Tis ok though, he's back on Sunday and I will jump his bones as soon as he's back. [hgrin]

TTL that is great news about the doc. Well done for braving it!

darkstar if your period is due this weekend, shouldn't you be POAS by now? Go on, enter the madness if you dare :)

lol, I already did that last month after convincing myself I was pg And that was our first month of JSing! I was hoping to be less of a mentalist about it this time round, as it took a year to get DS and every month I drove myself insane with imagined pregnancy symptoms.

The reason I feel so at home on this thread is that DS was eventually conceived after I gave up in despair and spent the entire month drinking Was also the month I steadfastly refused to test even though my period was late for the first time ever!

Hey ladies,

WARNING!! Full on grump here.

My pill is making me retain water like a bitch. Seriously, I reckon about 3lbs worth. Making my legs heavy and tired and me bloated and generally 'meh'!

Had a dream last night that IVF failed and that I didn't care - clearly I do with the dreaming about it 'n' all...!

Just...grrrrr!!

Tempted to cut my pill short by a couple of days...I am sure it won't make any difference, point of taking is just so I'll get a bleed...right...?!

Sorry...feel like a big dark cloud!

Stick with it Vallina. It's just a few more days. If you stop early, and the IVF doesn't work, will you question whether stopping it early made a difference? It's costing too much not to follow all the rules...Anyway, a few pounds extra will seem nothing when, not long from now, you are 8.5 months pregnant :)

Big hugs from me. Cos they are allowed on this thread, so there
