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

Pesky friends nervous I'm sure it's difficult to be Grin and Envy at the same time. Yeah for week off though. By my basic maths though, it lands perfectly for JSing? Wink

I'm doing a not at all scientific experiment to see how many prunes it gets to get "things" moving. I ate 10 about 5o'clock and so far I'm farting like a trouper Blush but nothing else Grin I'll keep you posted. Something I'm sure you will all be grateful for Grin

NervousNelly · 16/11/2010 22:03

Ah yes BB it would. Except for the fact OH only has this Thurs/fri off and is working next week. In London. 400 miles away. So I may as well be on the 8WW.

. Grin

takethatlady · 16/11/2010 22:46

Brilliant news vallinna, you are a stronger lady than me :)

Let me know about the prunes brassica. I've resigned myself to fortnightly business and pain in between, 'cos even two cucumbers, a punnet of cherry tomatoes, three raw carrots, two litres of berry smoothies and fybro-gel didn't make a difference to me Wink

Oh nervous I feel your pain. But you'll be next, and then your baby will be the youngest and most glamorous of the lot.

SingingMog · 16/11/2010 23:05

Argh, too much to catch up with... I will try my best tho Smile

Vallinna sounds like you're having a rollercoaster of a time at the moment. Sorry about your aunt, that is awful and so sudden. I hope her son (I think that is what you put a few pages back) is coping as well as he can. Pleased to hear about your lining though. It has made me sing "Hey, ho. silver lining" in my head. I am so cringeworthy sometimes Grin Well done with the first injection!

Josie glad to hear you might be getting somewhere with the yard. I too am horrendous at the doctors (even fainting when they take my bloodpressure), so I am trying not to think about what will happen if the TTC works out. Hope your Nana recovers quickly from the op.

Thank you for your charts BB, my temps are definitely very dodgy (lower now on CD15 & last few days than ever before). Maybe I need a new thermometer.... Confused

Not sure what I think about the fbk baby-jacking. It is a bit of a weird way to let people know about upduffment. Plus I am "friends" with some sixth-formers and I don't fancy sharing too much of that kind of stuff with them.

NMCB, I hope your brain hasn't totally melted, I like to read your posts!

In other news I think I ovved on CD11, meaning I am now 4DPO and keep making up symptoms. Asked DH if my boobs look bigger (think he liked this cos I was practically poking them in his face). I knew I would be rubbish on the 2ww and not even supposed to be trying until Feb.... oh well!!

SingingMog · 16/11/2010 23:12

LOL - cross-posted so missed the prunes experiment BB - love it! TTL, it sounds like you need some too Grin Have you tried laying on your back and hugging your knees up to your chest? It is called the wind-relieving pose in yoga!! You'll have to do it before you get massive though, otherwise carrying out the instruction "knees up to your chest" will be impossible.

Gah Nervous, can imagine it is hard to know what to feel. I agree that you should get the new TT album Smile and here is a hug .

Dynababy · 16/11/2010 23:18

PMSL at the ongoing experiment BB and TTL how on earth did it not hift after that lot!!?? I'm amazed and a wee bit worried!

Poor Nervous I'm sure it will happen soon,
keep the faith in the face of annoying news!

Not much happening with me other than working 12 hour days and being on call overnight and wondering how I'll cope if bean sticks and I go back (which I need to!!)or even if I start to get sickness or fatigue etc in preg ... hmmm hadn't considered but need loot must work Confused Oh but docs on Thursday evening (if i can get away for work in time for 19:00 appointment) to hopfully make the little bean official Grin

Dynababy · 16/11/2010 23:20

Oops can't spell, that should be shift and hopefully!

SingingMog · 16/11/2010 23:41

Dyna - how exciting to make an official bean! I hope it goes OK and you are not totally exhausted from work, your shifts sound knackering.

cremegg · 17/11/2010 06:35

hey all lots to catch up on, so may forget!

vallinna sounds like a shitty time at the mo, sorryt ohear about DHs aunt. Yay for doing the jab tho!

josie yay to horse move and chilled outness!

ttl lol to up-own-arse student! cant believe there are people who actually say that sort of thing!

nervous grr to all friends baby-ed up, just enjoy the vino while you can!

bb lol to the swigging of the dinner cider!! hehehe!

i have booked first appt... they wait here til 10 weeks (if tested at home) so not til 17th dec, good tho as fly to uk on 18th :) got all stuff in post today and seems they dont do nunchal scan as standard, so if want it you have to pay. that different to uk? one bonus tho is i think i meet a midwife at hosp and then see same one all way thru :o

SleepyCaz · 17/11/2010 08:04

Hi Viroids.

Valinna - What a horrid few weeks. Sending love and happy vibe.

Am just about to dash off on school run, BUT.......

Faint BFP!!!

Have scan at 3pm to check it's not in a tube or anything, as was booked in for laparoscopy and dye test On Dec 8th, due to pain, plus last 2 days the pain has moved to one side in particular.

But fingers crossed ladies!

Miffles · 17/11/2010 08:14

BFN

BrassicaBabe · 17/11/2010 09:27

Crap, crap, crap miffles. Does that mean that red-fecker has arrived?

takethatlady · 17/11/2010 09:32

aaargh mixed news ... sorry miffles, ttc is so crap sometimes. Is it the start of a new cycle for you?

Congrats sleepy! Let us know what happens!

JosieSmith1 · 17/11/2010 09:54

Thanks TakeThat, Nana really is such a strong woman and she?s such an inspiration. My Granda always used to say I reminded him of her when she was younger and I?ve always been really proud of it. Loving your response to the student by the way Grin

Thanks Miffles, she?s doing really well, off to visit her tonight as she?s still in. She?ll be having a reconstruction eventually but not yet, there was a reason why but I can?t remember. Apparently when she came to after the op she asked when they were going to start! She?d have been so relieved to have been told it was all done! Glad you had fun with your neice. Kids are fab at that stage aren?t they! When you can?t quite figure out what they?re saying but they keep jabbering away to themselves Grin Sorry for BFN Sad

Sorry the alcohol free alcohol is rubbish BB Grin. Eagerly (ok maybe not so eagerly) awaiting prune experiment results! Grin

Glad the first injection went well Vallinna and it wasn?t too much to worry about in the end

Sorry you?re Sad Nervous, it mustn?t feel too nice being the last ones left. There?s only me and bessie mate in our little group of frineds and she?s not TTC yet but is coming off the pill in March and if she gets pg before me I will be Smile but devastated really. She wants me to do it first, and I want me to do it first so we?d better damn well hurry up! Hope you enjoy your time off, and TT album

Grin SingingMog at singing ?Hi Ho Silver Lining? Grin. I?ve had a made up xmas song in my head all morning, which only has one line Confused Hope 2ww doesn?t torture you too much

Good luck at docs Dyna, will be exciting all over again when it?s declared official!

Oooo exciting cremegg!! I have no idea about nuchal scans over here I?m afraid Confused

Congrats SleepCaz!!! Best of luck for docs appt, let us know how it goes

No news from me except another awful night at yard with kids shouting and swearing up the yard, then some people DH knows (and hates/doesn?t trust) turned up and pestered us and poor horsey (she now hates them too Grin) then someone I know from work (wrong side of the glass) showed up and apparently owns the gorgeous foal in the next door stable Biscuit. There are no words to express just how much I want off that yard!

Anyway, ERD just about finished and if my charts are right Blush I should ov about this Monday so providing DH?s back is better I shall be donning the good ol? shag cape GrinGrin

BrassicaBabe · 17/11/2010 10:27

@rse! Wrote a whole message only for it to disappear. Here goes again...

Oops missed your message sleepy! Faint congrats to match the faint BFP! Grin I hope the scan goes well.

PMSL @ mog shoving her boobs in DHs face! Grin

Sorry you are having such a tough time at the hoss yard josie. I hope a move comes up swiftly for you.

Yeah for the first official appointments creme and dyna

I have prune news! We seem to have movement! BlushGrin I had 10 with dinner last night. 5 before bed and about 10 with brekkie this morning before any umm action. I think I'm going to have a handful each morning. They are fairly low-calorie. I'll keep you posted! Kind, aren't I? Grin

JosieSmith1 · 17/11/2010 13:47

BB I hope you're talking about the number of prunes you had last night, before bed and with breakfast, not the number of movements Grin

NervousNelly · 17/11/2010 16:07

Thanks guys. I wuv you all Grin. despite my gloom and actual tears last night ( I never cry !) I have just giggled my way through this thread.

On iPhone with new boss at next desk. Better go :)

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/11/2010 17:43

Sneaky Caz! Best of luck for you that it's where it belongs. Have bunting ready and waiting.

Miffles, Nervous Sad for you . Please have a giant glass of Sav Blanc and a huge bowl of Pad Thai for me while you can xx

Never fear my brain may be well and truely melted, but I'm sure that'll just add to the flavour of my posting.

TTL why thank you. I Donb't just go for hard rock like Shihad, but they have been a favorite since my teens. Hmm try googling Lior. Think you'd like him (he's GORGEOUS too!) and he's not at all boy bandish Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/11/2010 17:46

Creme, Dyna and SCaz when you feel a bit more upduffed come have some mocktales

SleepyCaz · 17/11/2010 20:16

Hi Viroids.

No good news, I'm afraid.

Scan (internal, yuk :( ) showed no signs of pregnancy. So hosp EPAC did bloods to check HCG levels. This was at 3pm. Asked if not being able to see anything was 'normal', and the nurse said, "Sometimes, if it's very early."
Went home, and did another test. Fainter BFP than yesterday :(
Then the hospital called and told me the results were back and were 29. Had NO idea what that meant, so they clarified by saying that it was VERY low for an HCG level, and to go back in 48 hours, on Friday and be retested. It maybe a CP. :(
Have done another test this eve and it was the faintest line ever, less even than the one from this afternoon, pretty much a BFN.
Am gutted, but still no AF, so going back on Fri anyway, if it doesn't show up, just to confirm.
Am gutted :(

Big thanks for nice messages/posts though Viro's! xx

baby2b · 17/11/2010 21:24

Struggling to catch up on all the posts, so sorry if I don't mention someone.

sleepycaz I'm really sorry

Nervous I feel exactly the same at the moment...even dh was a bit down this month when af arrived.

BB pmsl at prune experiment!

Anyway, mostly lurking as a bit grumpy as dh is away with work for a week and I'm missing him.

NervousNelly · 17/11/2010 23:47

Right going to try this again, just lost the post I wrote

takethatlady · 18/11/2010 08:36

sleepycaz I'm so so sorry and I hope you are feeling okay. I went through this in August, though without all the doctor's, and it was really really upsetting. I hope you and your DP are able to have some time together to do whatever you feel like doing (whether you feel fine, devastated, or anything in between). But I've got my fingers crossed for Friday just in case.

aw nervous thank you. I LOVE this thread! Just conscious not to become some sort of smug preggo lady getting on everybody's nerves! The good thing is all of us who have got knocked up so far have done it at all different times and after all sorts of shenanigans - multiple cps, clomid, quick upduffings, slow upduffings. We're a motley crew of upduffs so hopefully that bodes well - whether it gets tricky or not by hook or by crook we can shag our way to victory!

vallinna how long do you have to inject for now? Yip yip for the lining :)

Oh SleepyCaz, so sorry to hear that.

Thanks Nelly, my bro is off to visit Nana tonight and Mam is going in every day as is my aunt so we?re going tomorrow, armed with biscuits, puzzle books and a get well soon card Smile. Yes I will gladly accompany you on the 2ww Grin. Speak to you when you get back (I?m not brave enough to start a new thread unless someone tells me what to call it Grin)

Nowt goin on here Grin
