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

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 Grin.

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 Wink

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!

Thanks Frak I couldn't find the grad thread anywhere.

bugoven · 28/04/2012 19:40

frak Paris was a freebee won by DP as part of an at work incentive. If there's a BFP before then can just spend the money I would have on wine and gourmet cheeses on cute French baby clothes and accessories =)

DP is at work 6pm-6am Sad i kept seeing material flapping about wich turned out to be his boxers so i tured round and there he was flapping it about Shock Grin a very mature 21 he is. very mature. One day we where in the gardern and he stuck his hand down my bra whilst trying to dry hump me from behind whilst MIL was standing at the kitchen winow Grin

im totally going to out myself here but i dont know if any of you know about sepsis. its why i was so ill after i had DS. My story has finally appeared on the UK SEPSIS trust! here if anyone wants to take a look.

LilBlondePessimist · 28/04/2012 23:55

Hi again everyone! Sorry not to tag you all but I'm always on my phone so too difficult to scroll back up and my memory (I blame baby brain, but don't know if that still applies at 6mths?) is terrible!

. What time zone are you on? I'm 9hrs ahead of the uk.

something, so sorry to hear about the threats against your ds. Some people will stoop so low! I worked for the police when I was in the uk and know that unfortunately this kind of thing was becoming more common, but the only upside was that we were more proactive in dealing with it. Really hope you get somewhere! On a different note I laughed out loud at the thought of your dp's helicopter knob!! Your poor mil!! Haha

So, as I've not had any ertd, just a couple of days crampy tum this week and a teeny bit of pale pink/light brown spotting. But the spotting only lasted one day - the cramps for maybe twoish. Can anyone advise what this might mean? I am totally lost with it all, and don't even know if I'm jsing for nothing, I mean can I even get pg? Sigh.

LilBlondePessimist · 28/04/2012 23:57

Oh, and hi! bugoven. I loooove Paris - went there on our honeymoon ten years ago this year! One of the things I miss about living in oz now is not being able to visit Europe easily.

mandasand · 29/04/2012 04:57

thanks for sharing your sepsis experience, something. I've just read the article and it sounds a horrible, horrible time. hope it didn't take too long to get completely back to full health and that everything's fine now :-)

somethingwittynot · 29/04/2012 06:52

manasand thankyou i spent 3 week on hospital 6 of them in the HDU attatched to drips heart rate, bp and oxygen monitors but im better now and thats the main thing!

blonde dont say your going to be doing a kitten to!

LilBlondePessimist · 29/04/2012 07:31

something, that sounds truly horrid! I'd hate to have to stay in hospital after the birth, it's my worst nightmare, before I even think about being I'll on top of it! Must have been such a relief when you came out the other side!!

Why would you think I'd be doing a kitten???!!! I don't even know if I've ovulated yet, far less fertilized! Lol. If only it was that quick!!!

somethingwittynot · 29/04/2012 09:53

blonde just a thought lol as doing a kitten seems to be the thing at the moment!

do you know how long your cycles are because those pains could of been ov pains and the spotting could be ov spotting. since ive had DS i get ov spotting but never had pre-DS.

Persuasion · 29/04/2012 10:16

Congrats pickly! There are 3 of you now. Enough to start a Just Pregnant thread? Which would be much less scary, and hopefully the rest of us will be joining you soon.

Welcome priscilla and bug

something that sounds pretty scary. At least the police seem to be taking it seriously. Horrible for you though, I hope they find who it is soon. Good luck for TBM, that should distract you at least, as if your DP isn't distracting enough Grin

So I think I was wrong about OVing, coz I got right sided Ov pains yesterday. And we've managed to get on plenty of JSing, so now its fingers crossed Smile

bugoven · 29/04/2012 11:27

Persuasion I have had a mixture of pains/twinges/pulling sensations for a few weeks and am now CD38 with no sign of ERPD (think that's the right acronym for JS). I PIAPTOCHC (peed in a pot that originally contained hair conditioner) last night and still getting a negative result. I think this really does show that I have no idea what my body is up to and JS is the best way for me.

Priscillaqueenofdessert · 29/04/2012 12:36

Eurgh! Woke up today with horrible cramping on one side. Comes and goes like someone squeezing me! Never had it before is this ov pain?

tiredteddy · 29/04/2012 15:41

I had totally managed to loose this thread! Had a busy week and it seems to have gone from threads I'm on which is normally where I go to find you all. I must endeavour to post more often so I don't get left behind.

So there's two happy ladies with bfp s already? And some mire new members?

Will try to pop back tonight and chat again, happy just shagging to you all!

somethingwittynot · 29/04/2012 16:33

i am jumping on DP tonight think im having withdrawal symptoms Grin

topbannana · 29/04/2012 17:47

Hur hur hur something I know the feeling. ERTD has just finished and we have had family over all weekend but are alone again, just the three of us, in the peace and quiet :o

Having said that we have already had a couple of cheeky drinks due to the awful weather, the need to finish many nine tenths empty bottles before we move, and relief that this weekend is over. We could in all probability be passed out before Silent Witness at this rate :o

Fraktal · 29/04/2012 18:28

something what are you like! Having read your story I'm even more amazed that you're a) ttcing and b) JSing so much!

top I've just sent DH to fix me a drink. DS is being a little PITA - biting, not settling, ugh....

blonde I'm currently 3 hours ahead of the UK, so 6 hours behind you.

bug French baby clothes are the best I can't wait to be back in mainland France so I can shoooooop.

Persuasion there is a grads thread that I linked to upthread - it got a bit quiet so slipped to about page 4 of antenatal clubs.

Welcome back tired!

Crampy pains sound promising all round!

I'm debating when to test again, when's everyone else testing? We used to have testfests where everyone who was due to test at roughly the same time tested the same day. That sounds weird now, doesn't it?!

bugoven · 29/04/2012 19:25

fractal I'm going to test Thursday FMU if nothing's changed. Not in anything made of glass though - took me ages to clear the tumbler debris out of the loo last time Blush

lollypopsicle · 29/04/2012 20:02

If ERTD is not here by Friday ( when it's due) then I'm testing then as I have a wedding on Saturday. We're staying overnight without DS so if I can drink, I definitely will! Having said this, I have of course convinced myself I'm preggo. Yup, yup.

tiredteddy · 29/04/2012 20:33

Oh no bugoven that sounds messy!

It sounds like something is doing enough just shagging for all of us, I am very impressed! We have js daily since Monday and I am pretty sure ovulation was sat so here's hoping.

Fraktal, hello! Thanks all for having me back not that I had really gone. Testfests sound fun to me.

Something, hope everything is on with you now? Have you heard anymore from the police?

Hi priscilla and bugoven too it's a very nice place here!

Persuasion · 29/04/2012 20:35

Ah, I missed that fraktal

bug the pain I had is the same as I used to get mid cycle with the mire a, alternating sides and 13-14 days before ERTD due, so I feel relatively sure it's OV but I could be wrong.

bugoven · 30/04/2012 07:58

persuasion it was mighty messy and meant I had to wonder around with my knickers round my ankles desperate for a wee trying to find another container. My DP then cut his finger and cried out so had to go downstairs still bursting to investigate the screaming. Will make a funny story to tell my future DCs.

AWomanCalledHorse · 30/04/2012 09:14

A late Hi Blonde & Priscilla & Bugoven
Congrats Livi & *Prickly!

something, hope the police are v.helpful & managed to get whoever it was to court asap.

Well done everyone on JS!

Our weekend away was successful (in terms of JS), less so in terms of having fun (we both fell asleep before midnight on Sat & cba to go for dinner so got room service).
BFN for me this morning, and no more signs of ERTD (except putting on weight, great). I PIASDLPT (pee in a sainsburys duck liver pate pot).

Persuasion · 30/04/2012 12:27

bug that really does sound messy, like one of those slapstick comedy sketches! Did you manage to find something else to pee in instead, or have you just given up until thursday?

bugoven · 30/04/2012 13:34

I found a very much unbreakable plastic container that used to have hair conditioner it it. It is also bright pink which soften the blow of another negative result. It was very funny and quite typical for me Blush

Hi everyone else!! Thank you for the warm welcome Smile

somethingwittynot · 30/04/2012 15:07

what lovely weather! took DS for a walk round the park this morning and are all packed up, beds collapased ( the one were taking isnt the one we sleep on) and just have to collapse DS's cot tomorrow. Phew!
