Just Shagging - no science, just sex, sex and more sex! The lazy way to make a baby, part 9 (we think!)

[babylann]

Confused by all the TTC talk? OPKs? Taking your temperature?! Then this is the thread for you! We want babies the good old-fashioned way - through drunken, spontaneous shagging at any time of the month . All you need is a man, , ramekins and a batch of cheapo pregnancy sticks, and you're good to go! (Shag-capes and actual Sex optional)

The group is so successful that you can see the results for yourself in our graduates thread full of mamas who JSed their way to motherhood. Getting a BFP within a few weeks is known as "doing a kitten", and due to the secret and magical powers of the Just Shagging thread, this happens from time to time.

We have our own TTC language - EWCM is now known as "pant snot", AF is now "ERTD" (Evil red tide of DOOM!), OV is ovulation, and of course, JSing is Just Shagging!

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

Old thread is here if you want proof it works!

Come join us!

Morning all :)

Sorry for the BFN topbanana :( hurray for going all out for a holiday baby though - should be a fun holiday!

something your sil sounds like a bit of a nightmare, did she do anything in particular to upset you or is she just generally horrible? Hopefully you can steer clear of her as much as possible!

Welcome practisingparent!

Ah well, three cheers for the relic! We have chatted and come to a decision- get holidays over with and if no BFP the DH will go to the "wank clinic", something he has been dreading since my GP first suggested it. He has also volunteered to give up drinking for a few months, as we are ex licenced trade this is quite an undertaking ( though we are very modest drinkers most of the time now! :)) I guess we will fall into the category of no longer JSing then :o
We have not quite come to a definitive time scale but when we do so, that will be it. The trauma of TTC month after month is wearisome, not to mention we are both not at the prime age fir conception anyway and will get progressively less viable as time goes by. Surprisingly I feel quite good about this (though doubtless won't as the deadline approaches :() as we will know that we did our best but it was just not to be. In any case we have DS which is something many couples never manage so we are blessed

its really stupid lol feel like a prat that im gunna tell you but it was over a buggy. i simply asked someone what that folded dimensions are and then she went to me dont go for that buggy im going for it i need it you dont. i dont react well to being told what i can and cant do by people i dont like and she is v v controlling. she hates chavs so i text her bag nah its alright you can have it, its a bit chavy for me and then she flipped. i ended the conversation buy saying the DP will go and see his new niece when shes born if he wants to but im going to get on with my life. then she text me back trying to continue the arguement and i ignored her. because i ignored her she then got her DP to try and sort it out with my DP causing them to argue. see the stupid thing is i didnt even ask for a price or say that i wanted this buggy shes just jumped to conclusions and caused a load of havoc. ever since ive become a mum its like she has to turn everything into a competiton and if i dont do it her way then im doing it wrong. sorry love but im doing it mine and DPs way. her DP isnt even allowed to help out with DD. she EBF and then BLW but even through BLW he never got to help. until she got pregnant again her DP wasnt even allowed to carry his DD or change her and hes only allowed to do it now because she cant carry DD.

shes just so horrible no one in the family likes her, i heard all about her before i met her but im not one to judge so i put all the comments to the back of my head and made an attempt to get to know her after an hour spent in her company she was exactly everything i had heard about her. i was getting fed up of having to act like everything was fine for the BILs sake but after that argument i gave up. she slagged me and DP and the family off on baby centre over the xmas period and said some horrible stuff but yet i still made an effort and she never even apollagised. and then tried again and again but now im just like fuck it and fuck her! i dont need her in mine and DS life what DP does it up to him. as far as im concerened my life i going to be alot better without her in it. it may sound like im going mad here but shes actually that bad shes banned from PILS house and my other SIL wont go anywhere if shes going!

Ah well something sounds like you're doing the right thing staying away if she's that difficult to be around. She does sound very controlling, especially over her DD...very odd.

:o:o at wank clinic topbanana - fingers crossed that a nice relaxing JS-filled holiday is what you need to get your BFP

Two very, very faint BFPs........

Will text with FMU tomorrow.

baby! Congrats!!!!!!!

babylann shhhh congrats shhh yay #whispers

topbanana the wank clinic can only be a good thing x

Oooh oooh baby!

omg baby eeeek

:o:o:o

How exciting babylann I'm still lurking to see how you all are! Miss this thread and all you fab Mumsnetters.

Yay babylann

Was having pains for the past couple of days which were SO similar to first few weeks of pregnancy with DD, I just couldn't ignore them. So I went out and bought a few cheap tests from the 99p shop and have some teeny tiny faint lines.

I'll just keep reminding myself there's still a chance that they're rubbish tests etc, as it is probably about 4-5 days too early to take a test. But yay nontheless!

congrats baby.

Yay babylann brilliant news

Ooooh baby how (tentatively) exciting! Leave it a few days then do another cheapie, and a digital?

ribs I'm so with you on the weekend being too short. If I was queen the weeks would work the other way, 5 days of weekend and 2 days of work

Welcome practising

sometihng it does sound like she's pretty dreadful, I'd steer clear if I was you. Hopefully the back will be fixed soon.

topbanana at least you have a plan. A lot of people do seem to get pregnant just as the hospital appointment is due, so hope is still to be had. That ans a holiday sounds like just the right thing.

I've got no news at all. Work is boring, would much rather be out in the sunshine. Maybe a JS tonight but really I'm in the waiting phase. And as I'm NOT symptom spotting I have no news!

Yeah babylan crossing my fingers and toes the lines get darker, we all need some positive news

topbanana I'm with kitten on this one, you never know once you are completely relaxed it could happen

something what a nightmare SIL I always feel bad for the little ones that have to also go through her rules.

Any change dysgu hopefully your ERTD is still not here

The pampered chef thing sounds really interesting Iknow

Hello Team JS! Been offline for a day or two and nice to catch up with your news!

babylann I have everything crossed for you! (This is sooo exciting!)

topbanana: sounds like the, ahem, 'wank clinic' is a v. good idea. DH and I always joke about my eggs being beyond their sell-by-date and him possibly firing blanks, but there is a bit of anxiety behind all that and I think once you get to a certain age you should be able to get tested easily so that it's more routine and less of a big and scary deal. Hope everything works out well for you both.

guinea: I did PhD whilst working too and it's not an easy! used to be very jealous of full-time students as I never felt I could immerse myself in the stuff as much as them (despite my research being related to my job). still, I got through the other end and so will you! :)

something: what a pain your SIL sounds!

So, update on my vitals: I came off the POP about 3 months ago. It took 32 days for my first, light period, then the next month's cycle was only 20 days till I got massive, ten-day ERTD. Now on day 26 of my cycle and no period yet so I think my cycle must be settling down now. Spotty as hell and boobs a bit sore so no doubt ERTD will be making an appearance v. soon. Hate having ERTD when the weather is so damn hot!

have a nice evening :)

DP looked at the test earlier and agreed, there's definitely a line. I left the packaging from the PIAR in the bathroom, and he just came stomping into the bedroom having discovered it and reading it, saying, "Babylann! There's supposed to be two lines!"

So then I had to point out the faint lines which I thought he'd seen the first time, and he agrees they are there, but very faint. He was convinced they should be closer together though, because of the diagram on the box... Well, the diagram is a cartoon drawn in no way to scale.

DP I think I will definitely be investing in a digital one just to make it all a bit easier for him, the daft sod.

And in case I didn't explain that story well enough: in his confusion, he had thought the big fat bright red control line was the line I was claiming was "very very faint" and had smirked slightly while he reassured me that it was definitely there.

Congrats babylann, thats so exciting!
Just to reassure you, that apparently false positives dont happen (apart from in chemical pregnancies) so even the faintest of lines is still definately a line!
Typical DP...

click clickety ow. back feels alot better but there was alot of cracking! hope everyoen has had a good day. i now have my new icandy sitting in my front room

Babylann I feel (quietly) excited for you! Though sad that you shall shortly be leaving this dear thread. My friend got 2 faint lines then BFNs on her next 3 tests until she invested in a digital and it confirmed she is infact pg. Think you can celebrate (maybe with with a digital test?! Which, btw, are £8 for 2 pack at Morrisons...just happened to notice!)

Manda thanks for the PhD encouragement, am feeling very.unmotivated atm - think a spot of maternity leave is just what I need .

Tons of marking to do tomorrow so I think a quick JS and sleep for me. Night all.

Ooh thanks for letting me know about the digitals. I'll be taking one in the morning and if nothing clearer, I think I'll leave it until the weekend, which was when I was originally planning to test properly anyway. Got some ebay cheapies due any day now, so I could PIAR all day long if I wanted to!

Well after poking around on MN and Google I am after some advice from you lovely ladies. As you know ERTD arrived for me, but was about 5 days early. It was also (TMI alert, apologies if you are eating breakfast!!) very painful for a while, bright red and with some huge clots in. This is most unusual for me and actually got me quite concerned for a few hours. So does this seem like a very early MC?
Seems to fit the description and if it was, it proves we are still capable of getting it together, theoretically at least. Bizarrely this pleases me, despite the last couple of days IYKWIM

Could well be. My Dr said yesterday that sometimes a sperm 'fertilises' and empty egg sac messing with cycles and causing heavier periods, sort of a very early failed pregnancy. She said this could be what's happened to me...though of course I still haven't had ERTD (12 days late) or a bfp. Obviously not bothering this month!

Still managed to quick JS this morning so all is not lost!
