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

Ohh TTL the licorice tea isn't for a sticky bean. It's to bring ov forward if naughty bean doesn't stick. It apparently has phyto-estrogens in it. Either way I drank it every day and ended up ov'ing 2 days early. Have stopped now though.
Obviously I hope it doesn't come to that though!

Have a good holibob HTK (envy face) Grin

Josie it takes until 18DPO to have something like a 96% chance of testing positive, so don't dispare to much.

takethatlady · 16/10/2010 10:28

Good 'cos licorice tea sounds vile! Another incentive to keep the bean stuck.

Glad your cat is okay nervous :)

Hope the temps hold up josie

Boobs no longer hungry, just burning. Hope you're all having a nice hungover lazy start to your weekend. You're going to have to drink on my behalf for the moment. I've got spare vodka if anyone wants it :)

Okay so lower backache is now compounded by loss of sore boobs. They're only sore if I poke them all of a sudden.

I know what this leads to, and it isn't good. Just snapped at DH because he told me I shouldn't have tested early, but even if I lose it I want to know if I'm pregnant. He doesn't exactly get it.

Trying not to be too negative but the pattern is exactly the same as last cycle. :(

We'll see. Have a good weekend guys. I'll let you know if anything else happens.

Congrats TTL!! Really pleased for you - amazing that you managed it again with a super long cycle. Maybe NMCB has some of those staples left over for your cervix?! Confused

Brassica - huge un-MN-y hugs to you and arse biscuits all round. To be treated that way about something so tender and emotional. Take your time and really be nice to yourself over the next few weeks. I?m glad I didn?t take that clomid from you.

Sorry that you?ve been got, b2 - can totally sympathise with crying in the toilets. Sad Hope you?ve got a good boozy w/e planned ? with Daniel Craig perhaps?! Certainly no kipper-slapping. You?re completely normal to feel the way you are.

So agree with you, hedgeblunder, I love the fact that despite my chunky thighs, his are bigger!! Feel proud of my rugby man, although it is annoying not having him for Saturday afternoons during the season and Saturday evenings are a write off too ? too tired for any hanky panky!! Oh, and PMSL at furlking someone elses womble!!

Josie - it really isn?t over yet. Hope your haircut is what you wanted ? we?ve got to enjoy the little things and spoils ourselves. TTC is stressful!!

KC - I love being an auntie. Unfortunaltely I am about to be an auntie twice more ? so even more practice!! Would like the real thing myself, but being an aunt is something special ? I love my niece way way way more than other babies i see around. Actually, it really surprised me, how much I love her, wasn?t expecting it at all! But so agree with the frustration of others getting there and not you.

Miffles · 16/10/2010 11:18

Crap crap crap. Cross posted with TTL. Please don't say your AF is on the way. Please don't. That is not fair for you. So not fair. I really hope that your symptoms don't mean what you think they do.

HarderToKidnap · 16/10/2010 11:18

Off now on hollibobs. A little heavier discharge for me but still no fucking AF, tres pissed off. It's so strange because I KNOW I oved this month and I know it was 2 and a half weeks ago so where is the bitch????

Josie, will keep my fingers crossed for you, and for sticky ones for TTL, milano and NMCB. Hugs to BB and lurve and copious pant snot for everyone!

Miffles · 16/10/2010 11:20

Have a great time - keep wearing those white jeans, HTK

BrassicaBabe · 16/10/2010 11:45

Morning lovelies

I'm sat in an organic cafe having a bacon and egg roll and reading the paper.

Fingers crossed for you takethat

can't post much cos of stoopid phone. Just "checking in" Grin

SingingMog · 16/10/2010 14:27

Hello, please can I join your thread? I am totally new on here and have just started "just shagging". Feeling quite nervous about everything that might happen or not happen! Really love all the new phrases I have just discovered from reading this thread Grin

JosieSmith1 · 16/10/2010 14:30

Bad news from me - ERTD jst arrived Sad and although my hair was gorgeous this mornin, I hav had my riding hat on and now it's ruined. I hav crap hair and an even crapper body.

Off 2 get straighteners on new 'do' and c if I can salvage it b4 DH sees it

Hope ur symptoms aren't wot u think TTL fingers crossed

baby2b · 16/10/2010 15:05

Welcome singingmog :)

Josie that is rubbish! Both our cycles have been very naughty getting our hopes up this month! I have plans for lots more wine drinking tonight, I prescribe the same for you. Then we can be hungover buddies as well as cycle buddies, lol.

ttl hope everything is ok and that the boob hunger comes back :)

Hope everyone has a good weekend jsing.

My dh is out with the guys today, so just as well I have my AF as he won't be good for jsing later anyway. I predict drunken phone calls declaring his love, followed by late arrival home, followed by his snoring. Married life is bliss Grin My target, to be too drunk to mind and to possibly be even later home!

takethatlady · 16/10/2010 15:27

Hi josie that's a shame :( Keep shagging and you'll get there!

Okay, some boob pain has returned, especially in the right one. I did a Tesco's cheapie this afternoon and it is a much much thicker pink line - compared to that ultra-sensitive Superdrug one I did on Thursday night it's a huge difference and much more visible. So I'm praying that means it's sticking.

Got a digi still and I'll do that in the morning and see what it says. Fingers crossed ... can't help being nervous though.

Bloody SILs (twins) have booked to go to Go Ape on their birthday (next Saturday). Had to say I'd go but I won't be able to do it if the bean sticks! Don't want to think of excuses yet as it feels like tempting fate ...
argh!

Loving " FF is not a friend at all, more of a smugtastic office bitch who only eats ryvita!" hedge. Made me laugh. Although I have to say I quite like it. It helps me feel a little in control. And with a regular cycle it's fairly easy to read.

Welcome back frakk!

b2b if you imagine me living in the middle of no-where then driving an extra 10 miles! That's where I live!! I don't think we have private GPs around here. But bloody well done you for finding one. Yes, I will be firmly staying away from the OPKs until I have a proper red-fecker arrive. Blush Thanks x

Dragging dodgey chook around town nomore? Confused As in chicken?! Why would you drag a dodgey chicken around town?! Grin

Yeah for the taking-control-haircut josie! Grin Glad you are gorgeous looking! Arse biscuits for ERTD though!

Welcome singing

Holding my breath and crossing fingers for you takethat x

While I have the odd little wobble, I'm mostly looking forward now. At least we did get pg even though it didn't stick. I was a nightmare on the 2ww, not much better on the 2ww before the 2ww. So you know I'm going to be an absolute PITA waiting for any 2ww to begin and to know where I am in my cycle. Grin Not having a massive MC bleed, does anyone know how long I can expect to wait for a new cycle?!

Can I also propose an new rule?! Can we throw out the MN trend for not being nice, no virtual hugs and for apologising if we do?! Can we go all out for virtual hugs and kisses and generally smoochiness instead?! GrinGrin

takethatlady · 16/10/2010 16:37

Big, wet, sloppy kiss too-tight hug held for just a leetle bit too long for brassica Smile

Don't know about cycles but my doc told me after the cp to count from the first day of bleeding. Think things are tricker for you.

All I can do is poke and jiggle my breasts and re-examine the old pee-sticks for reassurance Grin

Evening all !

Urgh what a day.I Started my new job today and ended up walking out!!! I've gone into professional baking (wedding cakes etc) but the hygiene standards of this company were horrendous!!!! There's just no way at all I could work in there. Completely disgusting.
And now I'm annoyed at myself and a bit tearful :(

big gropey hugs everyone (especially brasicca)

miffles- haha yes rugby boys are also excellent for carrying heavy things too!It is most distracting when you have to cart them off to a and e though- poor dp's nose is flat as a pancake now!

Welcome singingmog are you a crazy cat lady too?? Mines asleep on his cat hammock at the mo- is my surrogate baby I think

takethatlady - I think that sounds really good about the tescos test! I've heard they are very reliable :) I really really hope the bean sticks - apparently brazil nuts thicken your womble lining, which makes it extra stick-able :) I hope it works for you.

JosieSmith1 · 16/10/2010 18:40

Thanks everyone, feelin ok about it now, especially seein as I salvaged my hair (in about 5 seconds too) and DH loves the new do!

TTL fingers crossed 4 stickability

Brassica really glad you're doing better

Hugs and kisses all round Grin

BrassicaBabe · 16/10/2010 18:56

Just sneaking in to partake of the group hug before I head out for the night. Kisses all round Grin

vallinnapod · 16/10/2010 19:08

I love this thread for it's support and friendliness. I've said it a million times but you viroids rock!

At a B&B on the canal so have been on a four hour walk! Watching Strictly before heading to the pub for dinner. Should be JSing but knackered! Maybe later Wink

frakkinstein · 16/10/2010 19:32

Smooches, groping, sloppy kisses and inappropriate fondling masquerading as a hug are all perfectly MNly. Just go look in Chat on a Friday night. They're all grabbing each other and slobbering!

NervousNelly · 16/10/2010 20:39

BB - I've always wondered about the virtual hug being very "un-MN". I myself fell into it a few times, but I don't understand why it's wrong Confused. You'd think Mums, by their nature, would be all about the hugging Grin. So slobbery kisses and big bear hugs to everyone

Josie - arse biscuits for ERTD Angry. It's so unfair. But I'll start your positive list for you if you want?

  1. You can ride without worrying if you're harming the bean.
  2. You can shag. Lots.
  3. You can drink. Lots.

TTL how very scary and worrying for you. I hope your boobs were just taking a rest from being hungry. Fingers crossed and more sticky thoughts.

vallina - awww shucks Blush. You're pretty cool yourself! Enjoy the dirty weekend with 007 himself.

Welcome to singingmog. I think your name suggests you are indeed a crazy cat lady.

Hedge that's awful about your new job! Hope you find something else soon.

Where am I now? 11DPO I think. No symptoms at all. I thought I had a sore boob today, but actually I just leant forward when had my mobile in my breast pocket and it jabbed me hard Wink. But still no spotting either, which I normally get at least 3 days before ERTD arrives. So I guess still in with a shout. Though I keep getting fluttering period style pains too. Confused. So won't bother wasting any more strips for a few days I think.

Hope you are all having a lovely evening. Sounds like a lot of you are out, which is impressive! I had a shower at about 7 and put my PJs on...Lazy or what?!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx just for all Grin

milanomum · 16/10/2010 21:03

Hello all!

TTL - hang in there - a strong pink line is good! I'm still updiffed but now doing the obsessive gusset-watching which comes with it. Have a big dental appointment coming up too but have been assured it's fine to go ahead by the ob-gyn who dealt with my first pregnancy. Not going to get excited until I am well past it all!
HTK hope you have a lovely holiday!
hedge that's terrible - but very professional of you. hope you manage to sort it out - maybe you could speak to the manager or something? and if he/she is arsey, call health and safety Wink
Josie feckin' red fecker. :( but glad your hair looks nice. Now go and get drunk!
vallinna glad you are having a tiring nice time!
singingmog hello!
Good luck nelly sounds promising!
I'm off to bed soon (but I am an hour ahead of most of you!) with a hot water bottle and a good book. Sat nights just ain't what they used to be.
xx

SingingMog · 16/10/2010 21:29

Thank you for the welcomes. I am fairly crazy according to my students (I'm a head of music in secondary school) and I do have one naughty cat called Buster who likes to bite my (and DH's) ankles!

Think it will take an age for me to get used to all the acronyms and also to catch up with everyones' posts. I will do my best tho Smile

Brassica really like the idea of the virtual hugs - seems popular!

Hope you are OK TTL.

Hedge I think it is much better to walk out than to be somewhere you don't want to be.

Have watched Strictly and then took my vitamins with a glass of wine. Think this is not the kind of cold drink they mean, but it worked.

No JSing for me this evening. Floated the idea, but DH is very tired (=hungover) from a work night out last night and suggested tomorrow would be better!!! Shocking!
