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.

Thanks for all you lovely messages. DH's aunt dies last night, if it can get worse they now just think it was 'just' a tradgic fall. So scary to have someone there one minute and not the next.

Still, positive IVF news. Very thin lining at scan today so I am armed with injections to start tonight. I now have blood tests Friday and Saturday, followed by bloods and scans Mon, Weds and Fri at least! So excited to be moving forward but sooooooo not looking forward to the first injection! I thought they were like epipens but you have to stick the needle in first before 'clicking' the top. ARGH!!

On 'grrr' news...Facebook yesterday 'x and x are having a baby' Today, profile pick is the scan photo Unreasonable I know! I have a bit of a thing about 'kid-jacking' on FB anyway - and vow not to do it myself (I wonder how long that will last...!) I wonder if I should update 'Vallinnapod doesn't ovulate so would appreciate it if you kept your ovary produce to yourself'

Sorry to hear that vallinna :( Life is a random game.

Sending lots of positive IVF vibes for you.

Miffles when pregnant with DS I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever - no sign of being pg apart from my period being late, and then no morning sickness or anything else for the first trimester. There was much weeing on sticks during those first few weeks because I kept thinking 'everyone else feels x, y and z, surely I can't be pregnant without feeling anything?'

Sorry about DH's aunt vallinna. The whole family must be in shock

Yeah for the thin lining though. Are you on a 2 week countdown to ripe follicles now?

I agree with the whole FB rant too I have vowed not to post scan pictures. (Am I the only one that finds them a little gross? ) I might allow myself a "Brassica is up the duff" post if I manage to get to 12 weeks though

I'm with you darkstar and you can't prise those pee-sticks out of my hand for anything!

I'm so sorry to hear that news Vallinna - what a difficult time to go through. Excellent that there is positive IVF news, though. Sounds like you'll be busy! Are you going to do injections or DH?

Keep expecting to see spotting, but none. Half hopeful, but not really....think I must be deluded to think I could actually be pg. But one the other hand, it's got to happen one month! will keep you posted.

miffles are you still waiting for red-fecker so that you can take the clomid? What CD are you on now?

Thanks Brassica, my bessie mate thinks it?ll happen for me soon as she saw 4 magpies the other day and she saw them just before her sister found out she was pg with her son. I told her if any of her other friends announce they are pg she?s not to tell me

Thanks Miffles but I?m not quite on the new yard yet but fingers crossed, the new owner is lovely and is trying to fit me in, hoping to hear today, will definitely make a happier Josie and happier horsey if I get on

Vallinna sorry to hear about DH?s aunt, hope everyone is doing ok. Good news about IVF but about injections, you?re braver than me, I nearly faint at injections (not looking good for TTC! ).

Went to visit my Nana on Sunday, she went into hospital for a masectomy as she?s just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Bless her she looked so frail and although she put on a brave face she was really nervous, especially when we left. The surgery was yesterday (4 hours long) but it went really well and the cancer hasn?t spread and she?s recovering well (keeping them all amused apparently). It must be so hard at her age (89) and without Granda there to support her but now the worst is over and all she has to do now is recover

BB - have a look back a few pages (unless you can't on your iPhone). At work, so being discete (or trying).

Anyway, yes, waiting for AF to start clomid. CD25 or 26 now. MAY have ov'd on CD 12 and JSed on CD11. So quietly hoping I'm pg and no need for clomid!

I'm so impatient!!!

Ah, yes miffles I remember. Hang in there missus!

Josie fingers crossed for your Grandma. Good they caught it and have done something about it xxxxxx

I want to post but my brain isn't working well.

So sorry to hear about you DH's Aunt Vallinna, though hurray for moving onto the jabby drugs, here's to an upduff VPod very soon.

Love, babydust and happy horsey dust to everyone esle before my brain totally melts.

Wow there's loads going on here today, have spent my lunch break catching up

Vallinna so sorry to hear about your husband's Aunt. It's so hard to manage your grief when you are also in shock from the suddeness of it. Look after eachother. I'm pleased you have positive IVF developments to focus on though, I agree with the others that I would be very (that's my squeamish face!) about the injections but think DH would be even worse so I'd have to do them myself.

Miffles it could be your month, have you any idea if you ovulated or is it just guess work? That's the bit I enjoy about charting (although the baby fail each month when you know you've done everything right is a big come down so there is that side to it!) am keeping everything crossed for you that you get a BFP or ERTD soon so you know where you're at.

Josie good luck with the yard news and here's to a productive month in December for you. Loving your new chilled attitude to TTC.

Am with you guys on the Facebook thing although not sure how I would feel if I had my own news to shout about one of my friends had a scan picture up yesterday from 20 weeks (I agree that they look a bit alien-like, especially the 3D ones) and I had a PM from another friend telling me she is pg with number two! I'm out with a group of friends at the weekend, three of whom are pregnant so that will be fun!

Done my (late) supermarket run for this week. Bunged in a packet of pregnacare vitamins to upgrade from the preconception one. Well fuck me, £13!! Ggggrrr!! Should have paid more attention at the shelf....

Hello ladies,

I've only been lurking since Saturday as I've got nothing much to say (symptoms on and off. Freak out when they're on, freak out again when they're off. Try not to freak. Horrible dreams about being diagnosed with horrendous illnesses at scan, and nice ones about shagging Jason Orange, who is AMAZING in bed ). But you guys have posted so much you dropped off my 'Threads I'm On'!

So I'm back again. Hard to remember all that's happened but vallinna I am so sorry for your aunt and for her son. I really really hope it's better news than you are expecting. And whoop whoop for the lining. Now you can shove a baby in it and see what happens

bb are you close to your sister? Do you live nearby? How amazing it will be that your babies will be only a couple of weeks apart (fingers crossed, touch wood). Hope you get to tell her that hot cooked prawns are not going to kill her soon :)

Sorry for the feckers and hello to the noobs.

Has anyone heard the new Take That album? It's AMAZING. Although I've changed my ringtone to one of the tracks and it went off in a seminar today. I was talking about the literary marketplace and whether or not it is corrupting of literary production, so having a manufactured pop band blaring out of my phone took the conversation down a whole new line.

In a previous class today, a student came up and asked me the following question: 'can I just ask when these seminars are going to become intellectually rigorous?' I should have given him the honest answer. NEEEVEEERR (mwoo haha)

takethat I'd have punched the pompous student! How did you answer?

Sister is 130 miles away like most of my family. Sometimes it's too far, sometimes it's too close!

I've got the TT album on my christmas list so I'll just have to wait a while longer...

Hoooow can you wait...

I tentatively suggested that he had misunderstood the content of the seminar, and that far from being 'self-indulgent' and talking about whether we liked this or that character in the novel we were considering the ways in which particular characters act as vehicles for the intellectual arguments of the book and how their symbolic roles and structural positions within it might conflict with or support those intellectual arguments. And we were talking about the ways in which the text makes it impossible for readers to form moral judgments about characters since they are only ever accessible to us through a variety of conflicting, ironic and compromised perspectives, and since morality appears as in the text as a luxury of wealth and not an essential, metaphysical fact.

That shut the little shit up

PS - josie, so sorry to hear about your nana but she sounds like an absolute tower of strength! Glad you can be there for her xxx

Nice riposte ttl

I think you response on here was more succinct TTL! Can't wait to hear the new album - told my DH today that we are getting it. May try and wait til Christmas though.

PMSL at your ring tone in fancy pants lecture!

How is your nana doing now she's had the op Josie - is she having a reconstruction? My mum had a mastectomy in 2002 for breast cancer. Not nice at all, but sounds like the family is rallying round.

Popped to see my sister after work. My niece (not the new one, she's from my SIL!) is 19 months now and so adorable. She was laughing and laughing and says some words now. Bright as a button!

Right - since I was home late and DH out I have just eaten chocolate for dinner. That is me now feeling bit icky. I was given a big box of Thorntons last week. Promised to save them til Christmas and only have a handful left! Think I'll go and make Dh dinner and mess a bowl up and say I ate some before he was home!

Hope the lurkers are all doing ok.... Feel free to keep us up-to-date with all non-JSing and pg related news items/gossip.

Chocolate for dinner miffles and

DH is in Dublin so I'm not bothering cooking and I've got ready meals. Wish I had thought of chocolate!

To be honest, the student was right. My classes are idiotic . Just glad I thought of something clever-sounding to say to him. Think he's upset he didn't get in to Oxbridge so probably I should reassure him he'll be fine regardless, especially as he's right about my lack of intellectual powers!

Probably I was talking pregnancy babble of which I was unaware too.

Hope everyone else is alright :)

Nice call TTL, to the pompous student, as you well know I couldn't give a foggest about the real TT. Am totally gutted that Shihad keep banging on about their tour of NZ and OZ with no mention of the UK! Oh put that kipper away!

Miffles I bought a big tin of roses last week and have hidden them somewhere DH will never find . Mind you he's made me a cheese and mayo roll for my dinner and I don't have the heart to tell him there is basically no mayo and tastes revolting.

I doubt very much your class was idiotic takethat! They don't give jobs like yours to just anyone! We've experienced a witty, intellectual, together viroid since we've known you. Ok, maybe not "together"

Well, alcohol free pear cider is gross, disgusting, rank. The alcohol free rose wine is so far passable. Although too sweet. But then I've got a stinking cold so this viewpoint may change I did use real cider when cooking dinner this evening. I have to confess I did neck the last 300 100ml!

Awww thanks brassica, you're pretty witty and clever yourself. And probably together some of the time

Oooh nmcb you have proper taste in music. Sometimes I wish I did too

Loving the chocolate and cheese roll dinners ladies. Sounds like we're all taking the health-in-pregnancy-and-ttc advice very seriously!

Back to Neighbours and my high-salt, high-fat dinner and milk I'm swigging out of the bottle

Just done my first injection! It really is a piddley amount (50 somethings...def not ml ) and a tiny needle. Thank the lord! I only procrastinated for about 5 minutes. It helps that I am by myself therefore had no one to get worked up with!

Yeah for mainlining self-injecting vallinna! That's a huge achiement! I hope it gets easier for you

Evening all. Firstly Vallinapod so sorry to hear about your DH's aunt :(. As you say, it's amazing (in a bad way) how someone can be gone in a blink of an eye. (((Hugs))) from me.

Everyone else seems in good spirits! TTL I've no idea how you cope with such rude nobs demanding intellectuals .

I've had a weird few days. At the weekend we spent Saturday evening with friends and their 7 week old baby. Then on Sunday another couple came round for brunch with their boys (1 and 3). Was lovely to see them all, but was feeling a bit about the fact that all our friends, with only one exception, now have kids. Fast forward to about an hour ago when said "exception" phoned my OH, and (no prizes for guessing), announced his girlfriend was up-duffed. and :( but also, of course :) for them.

So we literally have no friends left who aren't pregnant or parents . We're the only ones left. Top that with having spent a day doing physical labour at a work "community" day, I'm knackered, tearful, and only on CD3. Meh and Double Meh.

On the plus side, only one day at work then off for a week and a half. Hurrah . Might buy myself the TT album to cheer myself up .
