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

Morning!
It's pissing down over here and we have to go visit very nice pregnant friend who lives far away and I can't be bothered. Isn't that awful. She's got about 15 days before she pops so I'm going to make the effort but the idea of having to deal with dd refusing waterproof buggy cover and us trying to manange buggy and umbrella in the pissing rain makes me want to stay here.
Hope you all have a great day,
Later xx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/10/2010 11:03

Milano I'm quite pleased I can tell DH the Italy is wet for a change. Maybe he'll stop going on about a holiday there (that we can't afford) and just be happy to stay in dry Scotland.

Loving all the hugs, just please don't squeeze me to hard. I may wee or vomit on you by accident.

Looks like everyone had a good day yesterday Grin

Hmm apparently brazil nuts are good for making sperm hardier and faster swimming, due to the selenium content.

Right 11am, time to get out of my pjs and pretend I'm awake.

Hugs cuddles and slobbery kisses.

baby2b · 17/10/2010 11:22

Hungover alert! Why do I think I can drink shots? Fell on my ass when dancing, but think I got away with it by jumping back up like it was a dance move (In my mind it was effortless!) Grin

Hope everyone is having a nice lazy morning :)

Dynababy · 17/10/2010 13:56

Hello, can I join you lovely ladies in the quest?? I've been lurking on here for the last week trying to work out how everyone copes with the 2ww. I have absolutely no patience so was driven crazy last week until the red fecker pitched up 5 days late SadSo plan is lots of JS'ing for the next month and see what happens. Last month was first month of ttc and still ran out of patience Blush. Anyway you bunch of wine swilling fanjo furling girlies sound like the sorts I'd like to keep vitual company with whilst trying ... need an outlet for all the slightly mental thoughts and actions you don't want to share with real world! Grin

Dynababy · 17/10/2010 13:56

oh and CD1 was friday so think i'm keeping some of you company in dates!

Miffles · 17/10/2010 15:13

Afternoon all.

Welcome to the newbies. Singingmog - sounds like you'll fit right in, swilling your vit pills down with alocohol! And Dynababy - we are always a good outlet for mental thoughts on here!

Really pleased TTL, milano and NMCB are all doing well and still with us. Yay for sticky beans.

I think I'm in need of some of the love going round. Feeling crap today. Am so up and down, but mainly down. Think my period is starting - but nothing definite yet. But PMT gallor (how on earth do you spell that?!). Galour? Galore. Ah, that looks right. Anyway, it all just seems pointless at the moment. Sorry to bring the mood down Sad. Realised I have carried on eating rubbish as subconsiously think there is no point keeping my weight down - it hasn't helped the PCOS and even if I did ovulate, there is no likelihood DH could even fertilise the ruddy thing. See - negative or what! Ho hum.

Sorry guys.

baby2b · 17/10/2010 15:40

I am having a whole day in my pyjamas and having chinese tonight before being healthy again tomorrow. Been very unhealthy this past week too! Shall we start our health kick together miffles? I'm searching food mags for healthy meals that don't just consist of salad. :( Think I might take homemade soup to work. (Wondering if I should buy nettle tea and brazil nuts?).

Welcome dynababy, I have found that no matter how long you have been trying for the 2ww is horrendous and all patience goes out the window.

Loving having so many newbies and cycle buddies!

p.s. can someone slap me with The Kipper as I am considering a second attempt at temping. Blush Last time my temps were all over the place and the chart looked like a heart monitor print out Hmm

Miffles · 17/10/2010 15:44

Yes, I'll join you in the health kick tomorrow. I know it will make me feel better as well - too much refined sugar coursing through my veins at the moment!!

DH made homemade soup yesterday and it was yummy. Lots of veg, so wholesome. Salad doesn't really cut it this time of year. Soup with crusty bread (Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Multiseed - best best bread ever!). Stew? Easy to do in the slow cooker. Roasted vegetables? Wouldn't bother with the nettle tea myself. Sounds yucky!

BrassicaBabe · 17/10/2010 16:13

Afternoon lovelies.

Welcome dyna Yep, hang out here. We'll keep you sane!! Grin

Sorry you are feeling down miffles. Come here for a big ((hug))

Its sounding hopeful for our 3 pg girlies. Fingers still crossed.

No pjs for me. I've been moving sheepies. All happy now. At least they are getting a good shagging! Grin But now I indend to sleep in on the sofa!

My good news.....period has arrived!! CD1 for me! At least now I know where I am. And I'm hoping to take advantage of this post-mc super-fertile spell Hmm Sounds like cods whollop to me but anyway...

So I'm going to enjoy getting drunk for the next fortnight because I think I might actually cut down for this month's 2ww!! Yeah, right. Ask me again in a fortnight Hmm

baby2b · 17/10/2010 16:21

Glad AF arrived Brassica. I read loads of comments/articles about being more fertile, but never worked for me. I still think there might be something in it though.

Miffles Loving the slow cooker idea. I had put mine away for the summer, but will need to get it going again.

Dynababy · 17/10/2010 16:54

Baby2b and miffles I also need a fresh start on the diet front.. i'm starting again tomorrow, would be good to lose some poundage before hopefully gaining it again in baby! If that doesn't happen will be nice to be a bit slimmer come Christmas party season! Soups are the order of the day. Brassica one of my friends sadly had a MC and became preg 2 months later when it had taken 8 to conceive previously so may be somethng in it. Fingers crossed for all for a pre Christmas BFP! Grin

BrassicaBabe · 17/10/2010 17:07

Pre-christmas dyna?! I'm working on pre-bonfire night! Grin

I've got a slow cooker. My stuff always comes out very watery no mater how much I reduce the liquids by. (This type of converation always reminds me I'm an old goat now! Not young and happening any more Wink)

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/10/2010 17:25

I'm jumping on the healthy kick bandwagon! I was actually thinking about name changing to JustAFewMoreChocBisuits Blush. Giving in to my chip cravings is already taking its toll. How am I meant to hide a 2 and half week pg belly, when I look a few months gone?!

Crap-ola about the ERTD Josie, but yay about it Brassica (!?). Also sorry you're feeling crap-ola Miffles, I'll send some lemon meringue (sp) you're way (please hugs, soup and the drink of your choice).

Hello hello to SingingMog and Dyna Grin. Fanjo-Furling? Have they been up on a flag pole? ConfusedGrin

Hmm soup... (Yum emoticon)

Dynababy · 17/10/2010 18:13

lol at fanjo furkling up flag pole! Pre bonfire night sounds grand to me Brassica, here's hoping!

As a newbie does anyone have any advice on getting up duff quickly?? I have seen some talk of grapefruit juice - what does this do?? Any other dietary or other advice? OPK's any use or are they contra-ban?

Otherwise i'm just thinking eat less rubbish, more beg and shag like no tomorrow hee hee! Grin

Dynababy · 17/10/2010 18:14

That was supposed to read veg! Blush

Hedgeblunder · 17/10/2010 18:23

Baby2b- no! No!
Ahem, I'm just jealous because I've dot discalculia so I can't read/write numbers so my chart would look mental

miffles bug sloppy kisses no tongues though missus.
Your soup sounds amaaazing, I've been eating bacon butties all day, very bad!

welcome dyna! Were on the same cycle day yay!

Good luck just shagging brassica!

Sending brazil nuts to all our preggo shaggers xxx

Hedgeblunder · 17/10/2010 18:25

Ooh dynababy I'm on grapefruit- you're suppose to drink it pre-obvulation to give more sperm friendly cm I think! I'll let you know !

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 17/10/2010 18:59

Grin at more beg and shag!

Dyna in my experience doing everything wrong and bad works a treat. Doing everything correct and good just resulted in cp's (hence my still hanging out here despite being up duff).

Am currently drinking an alcohol free brewed blackcurrent drink thinking it could REALLY use a slug or 3 two of vodka to make it perfect.

baby2b · 17/10/2010 19:05

Dyna I really like using opks as it helps timing the extra jsing. Also as AF was late this month I kind of knew it was because I ovulated late. I was still mental though Grin

I am sitting at my computer pretending to do some work, too hunger over though! Envy

Brassica M&S do a slow cooker range which is good to start with. If mine is watery I just add more gravy granules. We are getting old aren't we Grin

baby2b · 17/10/2010 19:10

*hunger over? Hungover!

Haha, what has happened to our spelling on here?

SingingMog · 17/10/2010 19:13

I need to go on a health kick too. Think I have put on about half a stone since we got married. Is chocolate bad for you when ttc? I am having trouble resiting it too Biscuits!

Have hurt my ankle in a mysterious and unknown way so NHS Direct nurse has told me to go to the injuries clinic in the week. (Unless it goes numb, then I have to go to A&E). Was sitting wondering how I would be able to tell if it was numb. DH says he will keep poking it.

I think that reading this thread is making me hunt for random symptoms. Only stopped taking the pill a fortnight ago and am coming up with all kinds of things now. DH thinks I am on mad symptom hunt!

Glad for you Brassica join me in a glass of wine this evening!

Miffles · 17/10/2010 19:37

Thanks viroids....feeling a bit chirpier now. Went for a walk with DH and had a chicken kebab (far healthier than donar, tho not quite as nice). Have persuaded him to put some pictures up on the wall - big commitment, you see - making holes in our freshly painted plaster!

Yay for AF, Brassica! Let the craziness begin once more! Are you taking the clomid tomorrow, or leaving it be for this month? Tell us more about these sheep... Grin

And grapefruit juice? Grapefruit juice! Hmm Oh bless - these newbies! I want to wrap your niavity up in cotton wool!! When you've been here as long as some of us, you'll get hardened and cynical too... Wink Some of us are into the hardcore stuff - proper drugs and injections and dildocams, etc!

baby2b - I'm intruiged by this M&S slow cooker range. Is it a packet thing that you put in there with meat and veg (or beg!)? Must look out for that. The only thing that puts me off with the slow cooker is browning the meat at 7am. Urgh! Who can do that?

Hope the ankle keeps feeling, singingmog

to all my fellow viroids

SingingMog · 17/10/2010 19:45

Thank you Miffles. Chicken kebab sounds nice Smile. I am enjoying having to keep foot up as DH cooking tea and generally being servant!

What does viroids mean? Think am getting hang of the other acronyms!

Miffles · 17/10/2010 19:48

aahh...viroid is not a common acronym! Someone was typing on an iPhone, I think, and tried to type girlies. Or something similar. And it typed viroid. We kinda liked it. :)

And dildo-cam - is an explanation needed there?!

SingingMog · 17/10/2010 19:51

Thanks Grin. Not sure I want to read the explanation of dildo-cam!
