Just Shagging - the lazy way to make a baby! Part, um, 8?

[MuddyWellyNelly]

Over the last year or two we've had a thread for those who are Just Shagging. Confused by OPKs, too lazy to temp, can't read a chart to save your life? Not quite ready to forgo the Wine? Well stick with us!

Of course it's been SO successful that we're down to a tiny handful of regular posters, as everyone else has graduated and we'll ignore the fact that those of us that are left are probably way beyond Just Shagging. But it's an ethos rather than a strict rule. Come and join the fun .

No rules here, other than EWCM is hereafter known as Pant Snot. AF is known as the Evil Red Tide of Doom (ERTD). Viroids is our name of choice, the reason is long since lost in the annals of time. If you really feel the need to take a test, Gu Ramekins are what all the classy birds are using. And of course, drinking is essential. Sometimes, we even remember to have sex

So don your shag capes and throw your legs in the air caution to the wind :)

Old thread here if you want proof it works!

I've just had one myself lolly - a that is, not an opk...

This looks like the thread for me!! I'm just finishing up my last set of pills and then we're starting to try. Can't be ar$ed with all that OPK/temping nonsense and Just Shagging sounds good to me!

waves to everyone who has arrived since last night
Lollypop know what you mean I do that too! However ERTD is here so my vino is guilt free tonight.

Hello. Can I join too please? Cycle one TTC #2. DD has just turned two. JSing is ideal as I refuse to give up coffee or gin until I get a BFP!

This is a busy little thread at the moment, it just goes to show that not all of us are obsessive crazies, I wonder how long that will last!

Vizzini is your name a nod to The Princess Bride? Love that film.

Prickly yes! It's one of my favourites. In fact, think it's due a re-watch very soon!

Lovely to see so many of you joining. I too have enjoyed a tonight, even though I'm probably somewhere right around OV (but as I'm not checking, who can tell???).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who drinks in the tww. I rarely drink much more than a glass of wine and I know loads of women who have drunk before they have even thought they might be pg.

Hi everyone can i join :)

This is cycle 1 ttc#2, i came off the pill at the end of my last pack, had post pill bleed on the 8th that lasted 4 days and have just been shagging away since then.

Think im in my tww but that depends if the pant snot last week was infact ovulation.

Have my fx for everyone this month :)

Cup my DH ranges from shouting back at me when I?m angry (which really helps ) to being quite confused and disbelieving when I get upset about things like rugs feeling unloved but he can be quite supportive. He?s overly emotional sometimes now too so we cry together!

Prickly how long have you been off the pill? As others have said, it can take a while to get back into a rhythm so maybe wait a few months and see if it starts to get more normal? If you?re worried I would go to your GP just in case, but it might just be getting back to normal if you haven?t been off long

Welcome to all the newbies (waves)

I think I might have to become a lurker here now, seeing as I?m far far away from JSing. I will be sad to go but you?re all so full of spirits and excitement, I don?t think I belong anymore. I will definitely lurk though, and although I definitely can?t enjoy I can live vicariously through you all Nelly feel free to PM me anytime

Ah Josie don't worry about that - keep us up to date if you can! Anyway how will I keep track of your cakes if you don't post . Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Hello Hai

Pipbin I have never really given up drinking whilst TTC, although I have cut down quite a bit. I am trying to be fairly abstemious for a few cycles as I've been trying for quite a while, but I'm not obsessive about it!

Very little going on here at the moment. With Mr Nelly away there is no shagging. I'm working from home today so had to nip out to the post office just now, just to make sure I spoke to someone .

Just been to the pub for lunch, had beer and a blue cheese salad.

I'm trying to resist the urge to test actually, I've had a tiny, barely there 1 day ERTD, I'm wondering if its worth POAS to rule it out. Somebody give me a slap please.

Oooh pickle. No slap here. That sounds exciting! Was the 1-day ERTD around about when you expected it?

Go find yourself a nice Gu ramekin and get it ready, I'd say .

Yes it was exactly when I expected it.

I'm going to go to Asdas tomorrow for a test, a GU and a bottle of wine. although I don't fancy my chances.

prickly if a 1 day ERTD is out of the ordinary for you then I'd defo be chomping down my chocolate souffle tonight in preparation for fmu!

Oh only if you insist lolly

Nothing to lose pickle. I mean you get to eat the chocolate souffle. Who cares if you're pregnant after that .

I suggest buying some tampons in amongst your shopping. That REALLY confuses the checkout girls!

Good luck tomorrow josie.

Lol good idea.

I wonder what the most inappropriate thing I could buy with a test is. Maybe a 20 pack of B&H?

Tested this morning. BFN. Bugger.

Sorry Prickly. It sounded promising. Wonder what ERTD was up to?

Thanks. No idea what my ERTD is doing, I'll give it a couple of months before worrying. I guess in the mean time I should enjoy 1 day AFs, they're a pleasant change from my old 7 days of carnage.

Nevermind, Prickly. If it helps, my best mate had 1 day af's for months after coming off the pill. She was worried it meant she wasn't ovulating, she had the tests and she was ovulating, conceived on cycle 3 of ttcing and is due in may.

Sorry! Meant 1 day ERTD! What was I thinking?!?

Thanks lolly that does help actually. As long as I'm squirting eggs out I'm happy.

lolly! Thread kipper for uttering such atrocities

Sorry about the ramekin letting you down prickly. Fingers crossed your cycle will settle down soon, and agreed that so long as it means all is working as it should, 1 day of aches pains and other monstrosities would be plenty, thanks very much!

Mr Nelly returned last night, so shagging has recommenced. Hooray .
