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!

Wow, I went away for the weekend an have lots to catch up on. I, like many of you, was caught by ERTD on Friday. Just as well coz the wedding weekend involved much and late nights. Also I have a chest x-ray tomorrow so best not to be PG.

Commiserations to all that were got, sounds like we should all be testing in around the same time next month. Here's hoping for June BFPs

And of course welcome to all you new gals!

ERTD begone and let's get back to the all important JSing

id love to give DP a june bfp as his birthday is in june!

Evening all... ERTD on its way out and i am taking inspiration from all of you. So that meant JSing the minute I got in the door This month my plan is to JS at least every other day!!

were going for a couple of times a day if we cant fit it in lol just kidding every day or at least every other

I'm definitely on board with the not mentioning OV to the other half....in fact so far I'm going with mentioning the whole thing as little as possible - I figure if I can trick him into forgetting the ulterior motive then he'll be more relaxed and, ahem, up for it :o

Morning all, SOUTH thankfully the weeing pic has never graced Facebook! KICKING any symptoms at all? Ertd still not here but not spotting any symptoms really.

Can I ask a question please? Do any of you get any particular symptoms or signs of OV at all? (I said I wasn't gonna tell DH, not that I wouldn't be keeping a mental note myself :) )

This is my first month off the pill so I'm not really sure what to look out for - although for then last day or two I've been getting a tingly/butterflies sensation in my right hand side so wondered if that could be it? It's a long shot I know for the first month but a girl can hope!

Thank you south pinkie et al I will try to keep it hush and when OH says I can tell you are going to ovulate soon I am going to say nope na ahhh niente nada that is a while away hopefully then ge won't feel the pressure. He says all his friends complained of the same thing when they decided to TTC.

I have a friend on fb who likes to update her profile everyday about her pregnancy, once a week I learn how many weeks she is pregnant and has left before giving birth, I know the sex of the baby, I know what his name will be and I know exactly when she realised she couldn't touch her toes and what new things she is craving, heaven forbid what it will be like when she is in labour and after!!!! I like knowing how my friends are doing but sometimes that level of info is excessively over the top. Sorry I hope I'm not offending anyone x
That's why I like MN because if you want to share your journey it's a much better place to do it as everyone is here for the same reason

Does anyone find the underground "baby on board" badges very cute? I always smile when I see a woman wearing one.
Hope everyone has a great day

Sunshine - not seen the badges? Will keep an eye out! If your dh thinks your oving tell him it was the week before

Kitten - I tend to get a small twinge cramp to the left or right of the womb, dour check your cervical mucus too to see if it's egg white consistency (I've been using ov sticks)

my new niece is due in july and i wont be going to see her. i cant stand her mother and her stupid rules and i dont know if i could bear going without finding it upsetting and difficult just looking at her bump makes it hard for me. we will of been shagging 5 months by then if ive not fallen.

then my new niece/nephew is due in novemeber and i will probably see them once send a polite text and keep away if im not pregnant by then would of been shagging 9 months by then.

i had a chat with DP and managed to end up crying about futre DCs and what if t doesnt happen. i suppose i kinda have a fear about mucking up my fertility wich is why i wont go on any birth control. i would love to be pregnant again even if its just one more time but i suppose im scared its not going to happen. i always get a bit deressed on ERTD. then im happy and relaxed when it comes to shagging.

Thanks pinkie I will definitely be on pant watch for the next few days! I'm sure it's nothing at all but just thought I'd ask the question.

Big hugs to south and something - sorry you're both feeling so down, having ERTD always makes things seem worse I find....just life generally I mean, in addition to the obvious fact that it turned up in the first place.

south did your friends already know you are TTC? If so that was pretty insensitive of them I think....and especially to start talking about baby groups even after you'd said what you did :(

The baby on board badges always make me smile too sunshine there were three ladies with them on my commute this morning!

(not trying to be insensitive to those who are ttc#1), People with 1+ DC, did you like being pg/do you miss it?
(seeing that something misses her bump!) I didn't enjoy pg at all...throughout the entire thing I told DH we'd never EVER be having another one!

flying, hope the xray was for nothing serious! x

kitten, I've got no idea when I ov!

Sunshine, that's a bit too much oversharing!
I recently deleted a friend who has triplets (and an older boy) and was always 'Don't know what people with 'only' one kid are complaning about!! Try having 3' all matyr-like.
I love seeing happy pg women (although don't 'get' celebs constantly touching their bump & grinning inanely)!

something, I understand (i think!). It's annoying that everything says you're most fertile just after birth/mc but can we make babies?!

south, rant away if you need it! x

We JS last night!! Yaaaay!

WOMAN I really enjoyed being pregnant both times with each DS. I liked having a bump and wearing the nice clothes. I did miss it afterwards too.

SOUTH that NCT yummy mummy lot sound a bit insensitive to say the least. Will you stay in touch or let it drift now. I joined an NCT group with DS1 but didn't really fit in and I was the only one then who went back to work and it drifted now lost touch. With DS2 I didn't as we had just moved south to Surrey and DS1 was staring nursery then school so I met and made lots of friends that way.

SOMETHING how's the boiler today?

horse I enjoyed being pg, though as I was running a pub at the time I took to keeping the bar door locked as people immediately seemed to feel they had the right to RUB MY STOMACH!!!!!! Collecting glasses was like running the gauntlet of flexing fingers.
On the plus side we were given LOADS of gifts and DS spent his first few years surrounded by a diverse and varied bunch of pissheads people. I also felt really well apart from the memorable time I nearly vomited on the man in cash and carry who farted in my face and excited for the future.
When DS was born I did not miss my bump at all!!

Something I second southlundon.

Are you 18/19? You have bags of time unlike us old farts who waited and waited and now desperately ttc our first before we dry up for good.

My doc said a year ttc is perfectly normal and only then should you start to question if something's wrong (steam came out my ears when he said that!) we're on cycle 4 after 5 and a half months.

My heart goes out to those couples who have been ttc forever I don't think I'd have the strength to do that am sure you'll feel better and more positive when ertd departs x

i know i have bags of time its just a fear it wont happen. SIL due in july got pregnant after her first period after DD.

It's hard not to envy people isn't it? All my friends and family 'just happened' without even trying and here we are giving it our best efforts and nothing most while on the pill...
