No Science. Just Shagging. Them's the rules! Thread for the Viroids.

[NervousNelly]

The (updated)(again)(again) 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator for the Viroids:

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday (or when you've had bad news). Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended). (But it does work).

Covet thy husband and enjoy every minute. Shag at every opportunity - shag-capes and awesome superpowers optional.

Keep acronym-age 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.
OV is ovulation - I'm allowed to forget what date I've OVd, feel free to join me on that one!

Bunting is to be put out for any small victory, thread-parties are held regularly and hugs are always welcome!

Once you have your BFP, feel free to hang around and share your wisdom and virtual cocktails with the JSers.

Keep us up to date with gossip!

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

So we really need a super fertile thread this time Viroids! Come on, Shag Capes at the ready :)

Morning everybody.

Glad you are sticking with us babylann. You are a really lovely viroid and it wouldn't be the same without you.

Nelly and essence, DP and I have the same JSing problems. Many a time we promise each other all day that we will do the deed that night, and then feel far too knackered. Life just gets in the way. And as for morning sex, well I just don't like it much, especially pre-shower and pre-toothbrush.

I have been provisionally offered the rubbish job, pending references etc. Part of me knows I should be pleased to get a wee bit extra cash, but most of me just feels upset that I won't be a SAHM anymore, and all for a job that I don't even want. Needs must I suppose, but I really thought I'd be at home with DS and another wee one by now.

POAS again last night. Stupid, still a bit early and BFN. Boobs hurting like hell, so don't think this is my month.

Thank you Bam! That is so lovely. I would never dream of leaving, I like it here.

Congratulations on getting the job! I know it's a bittersweet thing but it's still hard to get a job right now so you should be proud of that at least... hopefully it won't be too long before you get to go off with maternity leave anyway and then you can start your SAHMing all over again with a tiny baby!

DD FINALLY STARTED CRAWLING YESTERDAY (she still needs a bit of work, but she can get from place to place now! [proud mother emoticon])

I've been uploading videos of DD to youtube for my family and DP's family who live a fair distance away. It prompted me to go through my phone of all the videos and pictures of DD when she was tiny; I can't believe how much she has changed. It makes me a teeny bit sad, but also a teeny bit happy, she was so much hard work back then and a massive handful, whereas she is an absolute joy right now.

I don't think I ever enjoyed the "tiny" phase with her, she was 9lbs3 when she was born so I thought she was huge, considering the only baby I'd really known properly before her was a premature family baby who weighed 4lb at birth, so I never accepted that DD was a dainty little thing but obviously the videos in comparison to her now make me realise...

Aw that's lovely babylann. It's so good when they reach those milestones, but I know what you mean about feeling a wee bit sad too. DS has started to call me "mum" if any of his friends are around, instead of "mummy". Makes me a bit sad to think he's growing up.

Oh no, I bet that's pretty heartwrenching.

Someone who I used to go to school with who I now chat to on Facebook every now and then told me her daughter asked her to stop kissing her at the school gates now because it's "embarrassing"! I can't imagine how sad I will be then.

I love it at the moment how DD kisses me whenever I ask, sometimes even if I don't ask. She's a weird little kisser though, opens her mouth really wide and sticks her tongue out and basically licks my lips, but it's the thought that counts!

(I forgot to add that her daughter is 5) :(

Hi all

penguin I'm trying hard not to be offended . It's possible to have a full hectic life without having kids you know! I have 4 horses and a full time job! One of the horses has been very I'll, I feed her every 2 hours, get up in the night to check her, am being hassled by work by the amount of time I am away or working from home, and am worried sick. OH is away from home 14 hours most days. We had my mum staying for nearly 2 weeks. Ive lost half a stone with the worry, which would be ok if it wasn't for the fact I'm a little over 8 stone normally. Oh and OH isn't actually sure if we should have kids now, given how hard things have been lately. I don't have the energy to talk about it with him, and I can't face him reaching for the condoms unexpectedly. So actually TTC just isn't top of my concerns right now...

Apologies, I think I've now been rude! But I've been on these threads for about 6 versions now, and come to rely on the non-judgemental aspect. I'm also rather tired :(

However, in more light-hearted news, I should say there is no such thing as TMI here .

Ooh good, regarding the TMI, Nelly.

Just kidding!

Essence it?s not BU to feel a failure, that was part of how I was feeling when I was suffering from depression. It seems like it?s a perfectly normal natural thing to do getting pg, but when you?re struggling it feels like you can?t do what you were made to do, or I did anyway

Nelly you?re having a really hard time, if you want to chat/rant feel free to PM me

DH and I discovered our ?libidos? last month so I?m looking forward to ?having some fun? this month

Yippee Babylann for DD crawling

Thank you all for your kind words.
I had a better day today even though spent most of it with a friend who is 22wks pg and found out about someone else that is pg again! I feel a total bitch for feeling so jealous but I guess I'm only human!

Bam - hope the job works out ok. It's really tough to have all these dreams and imagine timescales etc. Then those timescales pass and our dreams haven't come to fruition. I wish I didn't do this so much. I'd imagined I would be pg again by my brother's wedding and that was last September!

Babylann - yay for DD crawling! As for kisses, DS just opens his mouth wide and kind of headbutts us with his lips!

Nelly - great, I'm always one to share TMI

Josie - where did you find your libidos?! DH and I need to get hunting!

DH is away this weekend so we won't find them then but at least it's no problem him being away this weekend re ttc!

Ooh, have fun Josie!

And yeah, only human essence. It won't be long, I'm sure I know it's easier said than believed, but I think it probably makes the pregnancy feel more special if you've had to work for it and have the highs and lows along the way. I say that as someone who did get accidentally pregnant ffs the first time round and is now having a bit of trouble when I'm actually trying. Although the resulting baby will surely be equally special as DD, I think the pregnancy will feel like more of an achievement. Or at least I hope so.

That's if I ever have a period again! I don't even get little warning cramps or anything anymore like I was about a month ago. Just feels like nothing is happening down there, whatsoever. And these are supposed to be my fertile years!

Oops sorry Nelly didnt mean to be so judgy, I got the (completely wrong) impression that there may have been more to it, but it seems like your busy life is just getting in the way. Sorry! I am sorry your horse is poorly too, I dont have horses but am an animal lover so I do feel your pain on that score. Is your horse on the mend?
Babylann congrats on DD crawling! They are so gorgeous at that age, ooh she'll be toddling about next - think I'm getting even more broody thinking about toddlers
Bam when are you due ERTD? I'm due on the 14th and you're about the same right? Fingers crossed for us! Dont think its my month either, if the wee sticks I bought off the internet are anything to go by, I don't ovulate at all Nevermind, as I keep telling myself, another month to save for baby stuff and maternity leave wont hurt :)

Morning Ladies!! How are we all this morning!!

CD16 here and despite OV pain and tingly boobs, according to my temps (I know not within the rules of the thread! ) I've still not OV'd - last cycle it was CD15 of a 27 day cycle. Ah well - just have to carry on JSing I suppose, and I can claim my birthday shag this evening

Got spoilt by OH this morning - he even got up as soon as the alarm went off to make me coffee to deink in bed while I opened my prezzies ... although he did fall asleep on the sofa while he was waiting for the kettle to boil! My snooze alarm went off 10 mins later and I though, hmmm it's quiet out there .... there he was, zonked out, face down on the sofa, bless him!

I can't go out anywhere today as our front door lock broke yesterday, had it on latch for the BT engineer to get stuff from his van, and because I had windows open a draught caught it and slammed it and knackered the mechanism inside. We've got a dead lock, but that's temperamental, it may lock, but can't guarantee it'll unlock so we had the door barricaded last night ... just as well we're 13 floors up and no one would chance the door! OH is buying a new lock after work so I'm having to stay in and just do nothing - such a pain

Happy birthday crowette :) Glad to hear your OH spoiled you rotten, even if it did knock him out! And pleased to hear you get to have a long, lazy day. PJ day!

Thank you Penguin, I'm very excited for babybabylann to start toddling around too. Then I can start buying proper shoes and making sure she keeps them on - rather than watching her kick them off and thinking, "Ah well, was worth a try, back in the bag they go."

I have a bit of a tummy bug today, I think I caught it from my mum. Having to keep dashing to the toilet every 10 minutes, which is a pain when DD is starting to get mobile and I can't leave her for a few minutes without worrying.

Also, going to view our potential new house again on Saturday! DP has agreed we can buy it if he likes it now, so all is looking good!

Thanks babylann Encouraging news on the house, hope it all goes well for you!

Happy birthday crow. Hope you have a lovely lazy day.

Babylann I hope you feel better soon. Fingers crossed for the new house too. I hope your DP loves it as much as you do!

I reckon I'm out for this month penguin, as I started getting the bleurgh feeling and spotting last night, and now I just have to sit tight until the red tide is unleashed. Good luck to you though - it's not over 'til the red witch sings!

I went into town yesterday with my mum. We both had separate messages to get, and when she came back she produced a beautiful little baby suit she had bought for her neighbour's new granddaughter. Made me feel like crying, as I knew ERTD was coming yet again, and in my perfect world I will have a little girl. I love my boy, but a little girl would make the family feel complete.

Bam, I always wanted a boy first, then a girl. Now that I have my girl, I don't mind not having a boy. In fact, I would secretly quite prefer two girls than one of each! I have the normal "but how do you clean a boy's willy" problem; I saw my friend changing her baby's nappy and he'd pooed and there were bits in all the wrinkles and dips, seems so much harder than a girl - a few swooshy and swashy sweeps and you're done! Plus, I'd save a fortune on baby clothes and accessories with another girl

It seems our pregnant ladies are gone for good now! I wonder what they have over there in the graduate thread (apart from babies and bumps) that we don't have!

I'm still here! Just lurking... conscious of not wanting to rub it in...

Afternoon everyone

Sorry I've been a bit awol, it has been manic at work this week. Senior is still off sick and now the pg girl has gone off sick so I've been holding the fort on my own, which is really annoying as it's really hard work and I've worked up 10 hours of overtime yet I can guarantee I'll get no thanks. Good job I've moved yards as now I can go there to relax instead of getting more wound up so I'll be bright as a button tomorrow

Crow hope you're having a fab birthday despite being stuck indoors!

Sorry you're out this month Bam

TMI alert - I had ERTD from sat but nothing on tue, which I thought was strange as I usually have at least 4 days worth, got to yesterday morning when I had some strange spotting, figured something wasn't right, then discovered I'd put in a tampon on sat morning and forgot about it! No ill effects though luckily.

DH seems to be gearing up for more JSing this month, he's being overly friendly and touchy feely

Happy birthday Crowette :)
Hope you're managing to enjoy it whilst being stuck inside.

babylann - hope the stomach bug passes quickly.

Bam - Like you, I adore my little boy but would love a girl for DC2. Although tbh, I don't care - JUST GIVE ME A BABY

Josie - great news that your DH is gearig up for SWI. We're getting a bit stale here

Penguin - I suppose every month saving helps....

It's a gorgeous day here and I've been stuck in meetings. I'm just about to leave though and hopefully there should be enough time for DS to play in the garden for alittle bit when we get home :)

Thanks Josie - I've had a very relaxing day, even made myself a suncatcher with some crystals, a wicker star and a couple of old pewter pendants, it's rather pretty

I've done similar with tampons too ... I think the last time was when I'd been out for a few drinks and went to the ladies, removed one and forgot to replace it in my drunken stupor! Luckily AF was light by then, but I woke up in the morning and had forgotten that I'd removed it, so popped to the loo to sort myself out, couldn't find the string, so had a good rummage around and was starting to panic, when I remembered that I'd already removed it - what a dumbass!

Tentatively sticking head around door to see if I can join....?

DH and I got married last month and have ditched the condoms to 'see what happens'. Have no idea when (if?!) I ov, so just been having plenty of sex! Next AF due around 18th though.

Evening all, and welcome piggy! Congratulations on being just married! This is a lovely thread, and we all have different stories and have all been TTC for different lengths of time. I am 34 and have a 7yo DS from a previous marriage, but DP and I have been TTC for about 2.5 years! Truly hope you have a quicker result!!

Glad you had a good birthday crow.

I was once in town, and a woman had run into a shop, leaving her small DS in the car, who was merrily stringing tampons around the mirrors, the indicator switches etc.

Guess what? OH bought the wrong lock, despite being given the old one to compare So I have to stay in again tomorrow, as he has to go out and will be getting the lock on the way home ... lets hope he gets the right one this time!

OOps, hope you aren't too furious with your OH crow!

DP will be in from band practice soon, but I'm really enjoying the peace and quiet and wish he was out a bit longer! Also really wishing I had some crisps to munch on. Must be the ERTD munchies getting to me!

Welcome Piggy! Good luck for the 18th Maybe you will be one of the shortest residents of the Viroid thread, with any luck. And congratulations on getting married!

All these tampon stories make me giggle. I used tampons for the first few years, but stopped because I found them so uncomfortable. I'd been wearing my mums - I didn't realise they could be different sizes until a friend introduced me to Lillettes or whatever they're called! I'm glad it didn't have any bad effects, Josie.

Sorry to hear your OH messed up, crowette. Another lazy day I guess! You can join my club if you like, I tend to have lazy days every day of the week.

I'm on a healty eating kick, inspired by my fruit-obsessed DD. Seems easier to just share her fruit snacks with her than to rummage around for something fattier to eat, so it's turning out to be quite beneficial to my weight-loss dreams. I'm only slightly overweight, but I hear it helps regulate periods and ovulation, and increases fertility, if you are within your ideal BMI, so it's about time I get started shifting this baby weight I reckon.
