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

Trying desperately to post, but being bugged by 2 pesky pooches.

Hope the be back later.

Yeah for the 2xstickiness!! [hgrin]

Aw vallinna, stick with it :) My BIL and SIL have just had their 6 week scan after their second IVF attempt took, and I am so made up for them. They are lovely people and have been through the fire to get this pregnancy, but they'll be wonderful parents, as will you.

Fanks lovelies!

Encouraging to hear about our thread stickies too xx

hey ladies, been a busy week with jsing work! hehe!

went to a friends for dinner last night, and it turned into one of those dinners where at 10.30pm you're still waiting for food! my friend is the best cook ever and so lovely but had drank so much vino while cooking that the process got slower and slower... i wanted to say 'don't u know im on CD14 and we need to get home for a js!' all v funny!

have been doing ov tests and for the first time i have POAnyS theres progress, hooray! started as faint line but is now matching the control so v excited at the potential. think i will try and play it cool with DH over weekend ('ooh its prob too late now') as he is not a fan of timed JSing ;)

just read back over posts and lol to BBs dog making the puppy poop himself! :o

also had a look at that dress miffles looks amazing, love the shape!

vallinna im with nervous stick with rules so you know you are doing what you can... {hugs}

am sposed to be meeting DH and work mates in an hr for drinks and really cant be bothered! sounds lame but it's peed it down all day (driest state in driest country! pah!) and also friday nights always take that extra effort! also want to js

right, i should go in search of the dry shampoo...

Right, old pooch asleep, new pooch locked in the utility room for now (tired of cleaning wee up!), working from home so you have my undivided attention! And the meh attitude is leaving the building

Glad the moggy is on the mend dyna

Welcome ovu You've caught us at a good time methinks. We're either knocked up or "meh". Hang around long enough though and the madness descends!

Good luck with the tickets takethat. And you'll be wanting some of my pg tests won't you to sustain that habit!

Sorry for the BFNs Although I don't think I noticed any red-fecker arrivals? Are you just early testing?

Sorry for the retention vallinna. I feel your pain. I'm carrying extra few pounds at the moment which I can't shift. Normally I manage to shift them during the week ready for the weekend, but they don't seem to be going! DH has noticed too But that helps give me the kick I need. I'm blaming it on the clomid which can cause weight gain but it's more likely to be the tin of hero's which are disappearing!

Well, CD13 for me. We've JSed the last 3 days. Going to try to persuade DH to go again tonight. OPKs are speaking to me

Have you had any luck with that dry shampoo creme I bought some but didn't rate it. Would love to find a decent one. I have to wash my hair everyday otherwise it looks crap!

Ooh cremegg and brassica good luck with the shagging!

I am waiting for my Take That tickets to go through after an hour of pressing 'refresh' over and again on four different websites (all crashed) and pressing 'redial' on both home and mobile.

Just got through on the Ents 24 website. It says I have ordered tickets and not to click the back button or press the order button again, but seriously, it's been ten minutes and it still hasn't gone through to the confirmation page.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!! Plus I have no more sticks to pee on to pass the time ( at bb), and chronic backache which is prompting lunatic miscarriage googles in between refreshes and redials ...

I am not cut out for patience or calmness, clearly ...

hehe takethat is about to implode with impatience!

Phew. Got tickets after 2 hours of trying.

Caught between thinking I've got lower backache and this isn't a good sign (have just phoned the doctors and annoyed the hell out of the receptionist who said she's not a nurse but backache is normal and to wait until Tuesday for my urine test results), and also thinking I'm definitely upduffed and have just spent £110 on two tickets for a concert taking place a week after my due date.

Anyone got any sanity tablets?

Well done on the tickets front takethat. On the up side you could always sell them closer to the time for a huge profit if you can't make it

Could the back pain be associated with the urine infection?

That's what I asked the receptionist - I did a urine test yesterday (at the hospital last week they said I had a mild infection and forgot to give me antibiotics, which the doctor was not best pleased about yesterday). I phoned up to get the results and she said I have to wait until Tuesday! Then I said that if I did have an infection it would only get worse over the weekend and the doctor told me it's important to get infections treated asap, and she said in a huffy, angry sort of way that she'd get a doctor to call me back but not to hold my breath for when it will be.

To be fair, googling 'back pain six weeks pregnant' suggests that unless there's bleeding (which there isn't) it's fairly normal.

But doctor's receptionists are the spawn of the devil

PS - unless there are any on here, in which case you are the lovely exceptions

Hey ladies :)

Great news about the sticky beans!!

I'm joining in on the 'meh' attitude ... I'm on day fuck knows/can't be arsed to work it out now of my cycle. I know I'm two weeks late, but had a BFN last week. I've bought a thermometer to start charting, but it's useless until I get to day one of my cycle. Where is AF when I want the old cow??? [hangry]

Has anyone got anything planned for Halloween? I love it! I'm dressing up for work on Sunday, dug out my cat ears, collar and tail [hgrin] I've also bought 5 pumpkins for me, OH and our girls to carve tomorrow - I'm so excited! Taking my mind off everything else at the moment.

Loads of my friends are trying to get Take That tickets, most without much luck, sadly. Not my thing - I'm off to see Pendulum in Dec, woohoo!

2 weeks late crow Is that unusual for you? It must be driving you up the wall!

I agree takethat GP receptionists are dragons. Yeah, waiting 4 days to find out if you've got an infection sounds sensible

Did you know that I've not received a call back from my GP after my MC? I had the faint BFP at the docs on the thursday but he could see it was nearly a BFN so took a blood test. I was fecked around right royally on the Friday when it eventually turned out that the results weren't back yet. Red-Fecker arrived on the Sunday so I didn't bother phoning for the results on the Monday. But no one has called me! Anything could be happening for all they know, retained stuff, ectopic etc. I am really pissed off. I have BUPA healthcare via work so I was looking to upgrade my cover to include GPs. But the cloest private GP is 53 miles away!!! So I can't even throw money at the problem. It drives me mad that we have to accept such crap service and have no other options.

Wow! Not sure where that rant came from! Although the more I think about it the more cross I get!

brassica what a joke. That really is bad.

Mine are supposed to be ringing back between 12 and 2. It's 1.26 now, so we'll see. Glad someone else thinks it's weird to wait 4 days for urine test results on an infection ...

But I can't believe they never phoned you back! I'd be so tempted to phone up and tell them off.

crowette did you last do a test a week ago? Maybe you should do another one just in case?

Hello lovely viroids. Nearly the weekend (and it already is for our pals Down Under [henvy].

BB I use the Batiste range. You can buy them in Tesco, Boots etc. Diva is my favourite smell followed by Blush. They work pretty well I find, and I am definitely down to once every 2 days for hairwashing now. The OPKs sound positive (no pun intended!) and very well done on 3 days in a row! Gold star for effort [hwink]

TTL you are a bit mental at the moment, aren?t you . Easy tiger. And breathe... But great news about the TT tickets, even if you can?t go in the end, I understand completely the superstitious/reverse psychology reasons for buying them. If your bean is a boy, will it be called one (or all) of Gary/Mark/Howard/Jason or possibly even Robbie????

No wonder you are frustrated crow - I?d say keep testing. Pendulum does sound good too. I?m off to see Arcade Fire in December which I?m equally excited about [hgrin].

Yesterday was a rubbish day for me. Firstly had the vet (just for horses vaccinations etc, but they also got blood samples taken so I always feel bad for them :( ) Then had to pay plumber £180 to fit a part in the boiler, which still hasn?t fixed it, so another part to come. Then had dentist (just registered so that was just a check up) but have to go back next week for 3 fillings . I then want to get my teeth straightened, been wanting to do it for years, so now that they have the clear braces to do it I?m going to go ahead. That?s going to be megabucks, and they think I?ll need to have teeth removed. Ouch. To top it all off, had my lovely smear exam at the end of the day. All ?looks? fine (poor woman, don?t fancy the view from her office much [hgrin]) but it?s always a tiny bit nerve-wracking waiting for the results, just in case. I told her I was TTC JSing and did she have any advice, but she didn?t say much. Just told me my BMI was a bit low (I?d say it?s borderline, depends on what chart you use, plus I do eat well so I?m not worried about it, but she made me feel bad anyway [hangry].) And of course OH is away, so no JSing till Sunday, which is annoying as I think I?m due to OV on Monday or Tuesday. Still, at least he?ll have saved it all up (I hope )

(oh dear that reads as though I?m very down, I?m not really, just sounds worse when you list it all out!)

Anyone got exciting weekend/Halloween plans? None really here, we live in the middle of nowhere so I very much doubt I?ll get trick or treaters. Unless the cows ring the bell. But as OH is away I will very definitely be treating myself to a bath/book/candles night again. This time I?ll make sure the cat keeps his tail out of the way [hwink].

Mwahs and Mehs all round :)

Hi BB it is unusual for me, maybe a day or two late, but never 2 weeks! I had a natural MC six weeks ago, negative test at the hospital (after 4 positive home tests a few days beforehand) So I'm guessing it's just taking time for my body to get back to normal. But I've been having mild AF cramps for at least 3 weeks, coming and going. Keep expecting her to turn up any moment, but nothing.

Sore-ish boobs, is that OV of AF?? but other than that, no signs of anything else.

TTL yes I did, now I'm driving myself mad by googling 'false postive clear blue digital test' and 'no period 6 weeks after miscarriage'

ooops that should be false negative ... see, gone mad :(

Ha ha - smiley overload! I think I must have a secret challenge to use every smiley I can on every post. No smilies here....

Thanks nervous, trying to breathe ...

Docs rang, I peed in the wrong colour pot, gotta go and pee in another and they can test it in the surgery. Also found an old cheapie in a drawer. Woohoo! Still got one test left in me!

Do another test crowette but just to let you know, I had a natural mc and then a 9 week cycle (my previous two cycles had been 7 weeks, so it was 2 weeks extra). That's this cycle, so I still got preggo. Look out for your pant snot as maybe you haven't ov'd yet.

No Halloween plans here. Going to watch my brother DJing tonight, with my mum and step-dad. Haven't told them yet and don't want to for a while so need to do some more sneaky drink disposal.

Afternoon all!

I am part of the 'waiting for a call from a healthcare professional' gang Waiting for the clinic to call be to confirm what I have to do on CD1 (prob Friday/Saturday next week) and if I have been accepted on their IVF Plus programme as I need to pick my lovely drugs up at some point!

Other than that, clock watching!!

Hey you lot...glad to see no one else is doing any proper work round here!

TTL - good work on the TT tickets. [henvy] But I must agree with Nelly - easy tiger! Take a breath and chillax a bit. Have you heard from the docs? I guess they're wanting to know exactly which bacteria you have so they don't give you unnecessary antibiotics. Be sure to drink LOTS and esp cranberry juice (although, TBH, it's more the quantity that's important).

Oh I did laugh at you discovering you're shorter and fatter than you thought, TTL!

for BB and the appalling service from your GP. That is SO bad. Or maybe they'd got used to you and knew that if you were at all concerned you'd have been on the phone to them immediately! They were all breathing a sigh of relief

Sitting eating Terry's Choc Orange - with Popping Candy. Oh yes! BOGOF at Tesco....yum. It makes me smile hearing and feeling the popping in my mouth. Maybe it should be prescribed to viroids having a tough time - chocolate and a smile guarenteed!

Vallinna - hope you're feeling less bloated and not so down. It's understandable, but try and stick it out for the last few days. Enjoy some wine over the weekend - I will be - to celebrate my BFN! You did make me feel better, thanks, re: ridiculous testing!

Creme - good luck with the shagging. Always hard when you know you're out and your minds not on it. Try and look really sexy so he wants you when you get home.

crow - you're killing us! You've got to test again! Mind you, it does change things since your long cycle is following a mc. I've no advice on that, I'm sorry...have you posted on the main board for advice? Though that's not all that helpful often. So have some of my choc orange instead.

Nelly - that does sound like a thoroughly crap day! you poor thing! Make sure you enjoy your chilled w/e to yourself. And some good JSing on Sunday. [hwink]

Thanks for all your wolf whistles on my dress. I'm really made up about it how sexy it looks. Total surprise! Now spending hours a bit of time searching for the perfect earrings. Want crystal ball/pave ball type dangly ones like Cheryl Cole was wearing for her interview with Piers Morgan...

(cross-posts with TTL and Vallinna as I wrote such a flipping long one! Soz)

I have a CB digital upstairs, but don't want to use it at this very moment I'm getting the mild AF style cramps, so I keep thinking she's on her way. But I had rather more painful ones a couple of weeks ago and nothing happened then.

I have no idea whether I OV'd this cycle yet. Pant snot is creamy and temps last 3 days (since I bought the thermometer) have been on the high side of what the guide considers to be 'normal' pre-ov temps ... but then I don't know what is normal for me yet. Aaaarrrgh!!

I'm new to all this charting, pant snot etc stuff, so have no idea what any of it means :(

Miffles I've googled loads about first period after MC, and the general opinion is it can take up to 6-7 weeks to return. MC was very early, and on the day, the hospital test was negative, so there couldn't be any residual HCG to trick my body into thinking it was still pregnant and delaying ovulation? Pah, I give up trying to work it out

AF will come when she's ready - if not I'll go to the Doc's in a couple of weeks!

Or maybe I'll google more.

Ooh miffles they have absolutely amazing sparkly earrings for £12.99 in River Island - I just bought them for my SIL for her birthday. Here

They look much better in real life though. Soo sparkly ...

Just peed again at docs and I actually said to the lady 'I'm meant to use one of the white-topped er .... um .... ramekins and not one of the red ones'. She looked at me strangely but she knew what I meant ...
