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 Grin

Keep us up to date with gossip!

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

Evening Lovelies. I've shifted from ninja-posting in conferences to hiding MN from DH while posting in the evening Grin Of course hiding MN from DH is easier as he's snoring at the other end of the sofa Hmm

Glad you are feeling less murderous nervous Hope that's not because you gave in to the complusion! Grin Can I ask how much the orthodontics might cost? Blush

What are they scanning for vallinna? Is it time to pray for many many ripe follicles?

Right you lot, no-one is allowed to leave because they feel they are not following JSing ethics Grin. I for one have been using OPKs since month one (Ok, so I'm a control freak!), a fully paid up member of the red-feckers evil cousin FF, under the "care" Hmm of a fertility consultant, taking Clomid and forcing DH to shag on set days each month! I admitted to these digressions on about thread #2. I don't think between us there are any rules left unbroken. But we at least try to JS and remain sane.

So, who's next in the CD chart?

NervousNelly · 11/11/2010 22:02

truffkin welcome back

BB I am in denial Hmm. I have to pay for the initial assessment where they take loads of photos, x-rays and impressions then send it off for diagnostics. They then work out the whole process required, and the cost is based on that. I don't have to commit until I get the Diagnoses and price back. So depends on complications. Dentist says mine would be classed as "severe crowding" and I might need teeth out first Shock. I think up to about £3/4k for my case maybe? It's more expensive than train tracks obv, and a bit slower too, but at my age and vanity I want to go down this route.

In all honesty there are only a couple of teeth that really annoy me, it's not a bag-lady look by any means. But I've always hated it and now earn fairly decent money and have decided to go for it.

Sorry, slighty off topic there!

mog have told OH he can't buy COD as it might be a Christmas present. AIBU to tell him that, but then not actually buy him it? Hmm.

Windriding - can't decide if that sounds like something from a fantasy land, Avatar style, or a porno Grin

NervousNelly · 11/11/2010 22:04

Obviously I will be getting just the one diagnosis. Was bad typing, not bad spelling, honest guv.

NervousNelly · 11/11/2010 22:09

Final multi-post from me, I promise! Forgot to say Happy Birthday for tomorrow to mog

Grin
Truffkin · 11/11/2010 22:26

Oh Mog I think my husband must be leading a double life! Grin He tells me the new CoD is rubbish, lag city and really poor but is STILL playing it (and moaning at the same time). He's even more annoyed that it seems to be ok on the X Box and he has it PS3. I can see a trade coming at the weekend!

Nell thanks for bunting, feel very welcomed back! I'm a little Envy of your impending Hollywood smile. I have relatively good teeth after having braces when I was younger but would love a couple of tweaks to get that perfectly straight look.

Nice to be back ladies!

BrassicaBabe · 11/11/2010 22:54

In your absence truffers you may have also missed that we've become all fluffy and touchy-feely Grin So here, have a welcome back kiss

cremegg · 12/11/2010 07:47

hey all just csught up on thread, happy bday mogg!
hello truffers pmsl at idea that we are honest jsers hehe :o
have decided digis are all well and good til battery dies! least u can triple double check the cheapies!
told my mum, i know way way too early, but would tell her if bean didnt stick so thought i may as well, was ok, she seemed plsed at first then asked if we would move home to UK, to which i said err not at the mo (been here a yr) awkward, but knew it would be, waiting to tell anyone else tho!
my DH is obsessed with iphone and ipad, he is addicted to a plane landing game, i do not get it and v glad we dont have PS3/XBOX as he got COD on the wii and was as full on as other DHs sound, boys eh?!
must dash to college disco, i v much hope its not thumping Hmm

JosieSmith1 · 12/11/2010 09:06

SingingMog (whispers happy birthday) that?s exactly what I think about animals too, makes perfect sense. We can?t explain to them why they feel a certain way and how what we?re doing is going to help them. Makes you really appreciate what you?ve got and I had some lovely hugs off mine this morning, think she knew I was a bit sad as she?s not much of a hugger Grin Your DH sounds exactly like mine, even down to asking what you think about his ?performance? Grin

Nervous my weekend?s activities will be extreme sporting too Grin. She?s bad enough to put out in the wind never mind ride Hmm, got some grovelling to do with proposed yard move this weekend, including offering DH?s services to build a new stable, or add a wooden door to an outdoor one so she can live in that. Other yard owner is back off hols this weekend, so I MUST NOT text her today (I have no resolve)!!

BB I am a member of FF too (and have to admit finding it very helpful and comforting). I?m on CD28, due any minute now and fully expecting ERTD but not too bothered as I?ve been very stressed this month and it wouldn?t have been the best time. Have been mightily distracted this time round, happily waiting to get things sorted then can go nuts concentrate again Grin

BrassicaBabe · 12/11/2010 09:31

Happy Birthday mog!

Fingers crossed for a less stressful month josie

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 12/11/2010 09:42

Happy birthday Mog! I did laugh at 'compliment him on his kill rate'. My DH also likes computer games but then I am the type of weirdo who enjoys watching other people play them, so many has been the night that we've settled down together for a long stint of Bioshock or Fallout 3 Hmm I am stupidly excited about Portal 2 even though I won't play it myself (too cack-handed and impatient to get the hang of the controls).

Good luck with your yard move Josie, I hope you get it sorted.

Nelly I look forward to being blinded by your smile Grin My own teeth are fairly shameful, am really hoping DS doesn't inherit their crooked, crumbly nature.

Having said I don't get ovulation pain, I think I might be experiencing my first ever bout of mittelschmerz Shock A sort of sharp throbbing pain on the right hand side near my hip. Does this sound about right? Or maybe it's just digestive issues Hmm Either way, must remember to jump DH's bones later tonight.

JosieSmith1 · 12/11/2010 09:56

Thanks DarkStar. I can enjoy watching some games with DH, has to be a certain type though, I'm not a fan of army games. I like his zombie one as it's funny watching him terrify himself Grin

My friend who lost the horse just walked through the door, and now we're both in tears Sad She's just so upset for her daughter, apparently she was hysterical and thought they had come home to tell her that her dad was ill, she had no idea anything was wrong with the horse. sorry to keep going on about it, it's just so sad, not much can make me cry in public Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/11/2010 10:39

Ohh DarkStar that sounds very ovulation sounding. Go forth and jump thy husband Grin

Happy birthday Mog I too recently turned 31 27 and honestly it's not all that bad.

Listening to you lot I'm very happy that my husband isn't the computer game type. Although I do occasionally miss a good bout of hack and slash on the ol'key board Blush. Mostly though I want to get the sims3 for the lap top but feel that DH would just complain. A lot!

Thinking I need to get me some hash browns or similar. Still have a massive hankering for bacon and egg pie too. Hmm

Supposed I ought to get out of bed before DH come and whinges at me again.

baby2b · 12/11/2010 10:40

Happy birthday Mog, hope it's a good one! :)

CD1 here so will be very drunk most of this weekend. Note: I am breaking most rules, but not the relax and have a glass of wine one Grin

vallinnapod · 12/11/2010 11:03

Err, if we should leave for rule breaking I am in trouble Grin I think this tread is def more about spirit rather than actually JSing!

Didn't get accepted on to The Bridge's IVF Plus Sad They said it was due to PCOS. Totally understand they have criteria but slightly f-ed off as it (a) took 5 weeks for them to tell me this and (b) the consultant had said I was an ideal candidate as the whole purpose of the programme was to boost the clinics success rates. Confused

Still going ahead, just a bit Shock now there is no 'safety net' of a free second cycle.

Onwards and upwards I guess Smile

Brassica the next scan is to check my ovaries are still doing nothing Hmm Biscuit Then I start injecting to stimulate the follicles. Bored now Sad

Happy Birthday Mog!!

Cremegg - the plane landing game is the most horribly addicitve thing ever, in a 'good' way! I can't put it down. Have been very smug here that DH is not a computer fan and therefore am observing this COD frenzy with a bemused expression. He is however the sort of person whos Blackberry is never far from his hand so win some/lose some!

vallinnapod · 12/11/2010 11:35

God lord, DH has just called and suggest we see the free counsellor his work has....thought he was a step away from commiting me. Actually the sweetest suggestion as he said (for the first time) how hard he was finding it in general and seeing me upset about it all. Bless him, I'm a lucky lady.

Sorry - reread and this seems very braggy, it's not meant to. Just bigging up the DH as I wouldn't think twice about pouncing on a misdemeanour Wink

JosieSmith1 · 12/11/2010 12:02

Well, friend left feeling a lot better (thanks to my hugs and tears of course Grin) and her daughter sounds like she's getting better too so that's good, I an stop going on about it now

Vallinna what a lovely thing for your DH to do.

NoMore I want sims 3 too. I have sims2 and I luuuurve it to bits (only ever make a me and DH, then they have babies, then after me and DH die I get bored and start us again Grin) Haven;t tried sims 3 but bet I'd love it

BrassicaBabe · 12/11/2010 12:04

Ahh vallinna that's so nice of DH. It takes a strong man to suggest a counsellor. So lovely of him to suggest it. Let's hope the ovaries are still nicely in a state of slumber. Fingers crossed that you don't need the free cycle anyway! Grin

Dragging out thread bunting for darkstar's ovaries!

BFP is slightly stronger this morning at 13DPO. I know I shouldn't be but I am VERY bad tempered about the lack of alcohol. Hmm

I find computer games make me Envy. That's sick not jealous! It's like motion sickness! Grin

BrassicaBabe · 12/11/2010 12:05

Sorry for CD1 josie but yeah for getting drunk on the back of it! Grin

milanomum · 12/11/2010 13:25

Happy Birthday Mog!
darkstar that sounds just like it! jump man now!
vallinna :( at no free safety net but fingers crossed for everything else. That's some man you've got there. It must be easier that he's suggested it and it can only be a good thing. Sounds like you guys are rock solid :)

Josie glad things are more positive with you!

I used to love computer games and got obsessed with Tomb Raider and those ones where you make a city or theme park. DH isn't really interested and since DD came along, there's never the peace and quiet to play!

BB good news on stronger positive - it's still early for a mega-bright line so don't fret. Get yourself some lovely alc-free beer

Miffles · 12/11/2010 17:21

I have a confession. I have been sulking. Blush Did anyone get irrationally upset as a child, sneak away to sulk, then when no one noticed that you were missing, you have to come back in the room and no one actually realised you were gone? That was me the last few days. Don't actually know why. Sorry lovely viroids. I promise I won't do it again.

Please keep loving me!!!

I need a hug from my viroid friends.

Must say the biggest Congrats to BB and Dyna and think I already congratulated cremegg before. Wonderful news that we have so many BFPs.

And happy birthday Mog

And well done for sticking with it Vallinna - your DH sounds like a gem.

I am now wondering if I could really actually be pg. Can I explain my thinking? Am I back in the fold?!

  • Last AF on 21st Oct. 22 days ago.
  • Have been rubbish at JSing. Both busy and kinda not seen the point until I'm able to take clomid. Obviously totally un-JSers ethos, but sorry. Marriage can be like that sometimes.

Anyway.

  • AF 21st Oct.
  • JSed on 31st Oct (CD10)
  • then started spotting in Nov 1st and 2nd.
  • thought it was AF, but literally only on wiping and only 2 days
  • wonder if that was ovulation bleeding
  • in which case my pathetic shag may have been v well timed!
  • am now CD22 which could be 12DPO.
  • you'll remember I don't think I have actually ovulated before, so no proper comparison
  • PIAJP on Tue this week (before flu jab) and BFN
  • today, my nipples are sore. Boobs ok, but squeezing nipples hurts.
  • nipples may be slightly browner, but can't remember what they normally look like

So - what do people think? Am I barking? Has a miracle occured?! Remember I have clomid in my draw and DH has rubbish swimmers!!!

Thanks all. Have missed you. xxx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/11/2010 17:36

Hugs to you Miffles sorry I haven't noticed you've been away . Anything is possible, when are you going to test again?

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 12/11/2010 18:58

Wink That should take your mind off things!

Seriously, without wanting to get your hopes up any further than they are, anything's possible. So it's possible that you are in fact up the duff and it just hasn't shown up yet. It's also possible that your body is just dicking you around for no good reason - stress and worry has made my period late on a number of occasions, and it sounds like you've (understandably) been feeling a bit of both.

I am keeping everything but my legs crossed that in fact it is the former :)

((hugs))

NervousNelly · 12/11/2010 20:11

Haha miffles, hope Darkstar isn't being too kinky Wink. I'm sorry we were rubbish viroids. Promise to do better :( Fingers crossed that the clomid can go to rot in the drawer :)

I'm easily confused Confused. A few people came in and said hello but haven't really posted again. Not you miffles you are a true regular, but I hope we didn't scare those other noobs off Hmm.

Am fairly certain red-fecker is going to get me by the end of the weekend. The foul language I've been spouting in the last day or so would perhaps indicate PMT Hmm. On the wine in true JS style, so it's not all bad Grin. I need to have a small chat with OH (now I've forgiven him for unspecified misdemeanours) about turning down sex when it's quite important he doesn't. He's done this the last two months, but doesn't realise it's reducing our chances of being up-duffed. We have a good sexlife, not at all focussed on TTC; so I need to educate him a tiny bit, whilst keeping the science out of it. Happy to take any suggestions??

SingingMog · 12/11/2010 20:27

Ooooo Miffles, I did wonder where you were, but am now very optimistic for you. Hope it is that you had a well-timed bonk.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes and many hugs to all you lovely viroids. Had quite a good day, my form sang happy birthday to me and one of my sixth-formers brought me a massive chocolate cake Grin! Just went to pub for dinner and have had two pints of beer, so am a bit pisshed Blush I'm a lightweight these days!

I break rules and not even "officially" trying! E.g. am on FF and take temps - but tell myself it is so I know when not to do it until Feb. This is a joke really cos according to FF I am probably fertile from today (makes me sound like cattle) and JSed this morning (and last night) and will prob again later. DH knows that FF said I am prob fertile, so he can't get in a huff if I get upduffed Wink No pant snot yet tho.

Josie, I used to enjoy watching the games, but after a year of watching the same thing I am less enamoured. Think I will get him the new one for his bday (on 26th) and then at least might watch him play it a bit! Also, I swear my cat knows when I'm upset. He stops trying to bite me and comes and sits on my knee.

Vallinna you have a lovely DH Smile

NoMore decided with one of the tech teachers today that I could say I was 27 and no-one would notice. Might be 28 for a few years now!

Am procrastinating now cos people are coming round tomorrow for bday celebrations and house is tip so need to tidy. On birthday. Rubbish!

Also am a bit symptom spotting crazy here but when cat jumped on my in night I'm sure it was hurting my womb area. Although this prob means nothing as doubt any ovving has happened yet! I'm delusional!

Drunken hugs and kisses to all Grin

SingingMog · 12/11/2010 20:32

Nervous why don't you tell him that there are only a couple of days per month where you can become upduffed and therefore he should save some of his spunk for then to make sure he can give you a really good boffing? Wink Am sure he will like the idea of a good boffing, after all, he is a man! Grin
