Just Shagging Part 10; No science or skill, JS at will!

[AWomanCalledHorse]

Welcome to the lazy way to make a baby, part 10!!

Just Shagging (JS) is ttc using ye olde shagging & crossing fingers methods, our tools are your body, OH?s body..urm some wine & lots of finger crossing.

All are welcome, most leave happy & upduffed! The last two threads have been very successful; thread 8 had 5 BFP?s, thread 9 had 6 BFP?s....so we?re due 7 BFP?s here, which means we all need to get shagging.

We don?t ?do?; OPKS, taking temp or harcore charting...although it is nice to know when ERTD is due.
Which brings us to acronyms & slang;
AF=ERTD (Evil Red Tide Of Doom).
EWCM=Pant Snot
Getting a BFP soon after joining thread= Doing a kitten
You=Are a viroid, no idea why but it goes long back to the dawn of time.
DTD=JS or donning the Shag cape.
POAS=Sometimes referred to as PIAR (Pissing In A Ramekin), as we?re such classy ladies

Here is last thread for proof that it works, and that you can't shut us up

Here is the Graduates thread!

Oh Notsoold sorry for my ignorance Hope ERTD comes soon :(
And yes, it's the position I usually play in netball because I'm a bit rubbish and play in an amazing team so WD is pretty much where I can muck up the game the least

Jazz that's rubbish. Still, it's never over until the big fat ERTD sings (hmm, that sounds a bit wrong!)...

Red that would be great if you either knew for certain imeddiately or didn't. All this waiting around can drive a person crazy - in fact it does which is why we are all on here going aaaaaarrghhhh !

Noinspiration that's inspirational! Well done on your BFP! :)

Thanks WingD

Congratulations inspiration fx for you

Ooo congrats!! Send us all bfp vibes
I think we might've started js too late in the month.
Thing is I'm not sure when I'm due on - must start writing it down!

Congratulations noinspiration and welcome notsoold
No JSing last night as we were both very tired and had headaches (cue the worlds smallest violin :o)
Shame really as I think I MAY have OV'd yesterday. I have been paying an undue amount of attention to my pant snot and was convinced "the time was right" followed by a pain in my left side last night. I have never had a pain before but do suffer from IBS so may have missed it in amongst all the grumbling and growling!
In any case we JS'd on Monday and if I jump DH tonight we will have stuck to EOD with the occasional extra chucked in. We are also on our second week of not drinking during the week so I am feeling particularly grown up and virtuous :)
Off now to polish my halo and iron my shag cape :o

Congratulations noinspiration - as WD said, very inspirational indeed! :)

fingers crossed for you top, sounds like you've put the leg work in (so to speak!) this month for sure! I've managed to talk DH into giving up drinking for a bit too so am feeling your pain on that front.....we've agreed no alcohol at all until our holiday in September - with a couple of negotiated exceptions (weddings/events etc.). It's been 3 days so far.....!

jazz if you have an iphone there's a really handy app that you can download for free to do you ertd tracking for you :)

No Jsing for us last night after all.....I had thought I was on a bit of a promise, but DH picked up his laptop to do a bit of work and I promptly fell asleep

kitten its more of a habit with us TBH. We came from the licensed trade so drinking is a way of life/ occupational hazard, whichever way you choose to look at it!
I find it easier to not drink full stop (in practise for finally falling pregnant!) We spent a couple of weeks trying to cut down and stick within limits but it was more aggravating than just not drinking at all IYSWIM. We still have a couple of drinks at the weekend but it seems like a real treat. We felt that cutting down completely is another way of turning TTC into a chore and, given the time its taken us so far I think DH could have turned loopy by now :o
In fact I go to agility on a Tuesday and I have been buying a small bottle of weak real ale for DH while I am out. He says it is such a treat and can eke it out all evening which makes me chuckle!

Well done Top on 'getting the leg work in' [snigger] And also to you and Kitten for cutting back on the booze. DH and I rarely drink any more at home at that made a big difference for us.

Last Jan (2011) was a big milestone birthday for DH and I organised lots of nights out and surprise drinks for it, plus with xmas, new year and DS's birthday in between all that we drank tons for about 6 weeks. DH was given loads of posh wine and whisky too for his birthday. So we gave up drinking from Jan to Easter which I think was April and I felt so much better for it. All our friends assumed I was pg but sadly not!

This year we both gave it up again for Lent. Not quite so difficult but I still felt virtuous on Easter Sunday when I tucked into my !

Have iPhone - what's the app?!

Jazz the app I use is Monthly Cycles (shortened to Mo.Cycles on my phone). This one: Monthly Cycles

I tried a couple of other free ones but this is the most user-friendly one I've found. It's good for monitoring ERTD dates anyway.

Ah yes I can see how coming from the licensed trade it must be more of a lifestyle choice than anything! Totally agree with it being easier to stop completely than to cut down, it really does feel like more of a treat that way!

WD the start of this year was exactly the same for us - we had christmas, new year, a big birthday for DH, and got married all in the space of two months....add to that the fact that at the time we were both working in the City and the result was two seriously pickled livers for a while!

Jazz the app I have is called iPeriod (shows as iP on your home screen). It's pretty good but I'm sure most of them are much the same - just type period tracker into the app store and see what comes up :)

Has anyone else had completely bonkers weather today? It seems to have been switching between torrential rain and blazing sunshine at 5 minute intervals all day today....

Weather is silly here as well....
Xx

I have an Android and I have the my days app. I used it when I got pregnant with ds.

I have android and my app is called my calendar....
No worries wings all the acronyms around MN is mind blowing....
Congrats noinspiration
I have no idea about jsing next as dh is shattered with work :( and I don't drink much so it will be a reading threads evening!

Hello all. I have been absent from the thread for a couple of weeks and had to have a hunt to find you all.

It is that crazy time of year when we are trying to wrap up the current school year, write reports, prepare for the new school year (I am moving year groups - aagh!) and I was away in Bath all of last week on a school residential. Phew!

Have been exhausted since my return on Friday, work is crazy and I can't even remember when last ERTD was so have no idea when OV may happen or even when ERTD is due again!

Have only read the first page of this thread but is is possible for me to 'bagsy' one of the 7 'due' BFPs please?

Off to catch up with everyone's news...

Thank you

yay congrats! come join us on the other side!

Ha ha, I loved the idea of "putting in the leg work" :o
I also read an interesting snippet that said conception is aided if the woman has an orgasm just prior to her partner (something to do with contraction of muscles) Even if it is not true I reckon its worth a punt though :o
Off to pick up DS at lunchtime so we can watch the Olympic torch relay. It has not started to rain YET but the forecast is dreadful
And hello again dysgu nice to see you :)

Dysgu that'll be one BFP for you, one for Noinspiration... Who else?!

Notsoold I go for the 'lazy/tired' JSing in that case. If it's me who is knackered then spooning or flat out in my back does it and if it's DH then I'm on top. I'm sure no man can resist a bit of JSing really

Top we had the torch come vaguely near us a few weeks back the same day that Blackpool was due to have it for a huge evening celebration on the prom and it was all washed out. It is lovely and sunny up here today so can we have it back please?! To be fair, I'm not that bothered about the whole thing really. I'll watch it on tv just as I would normally but I have issues with the amount of money it's costing us when you look at all the cuts being made in the public sector.

Oops, better get off my soap box

wing I would like one of the BFP's pretty please (DH says that he feels he has earnt it this month!)
I also guess its the flame you want back rather than the weather, though we would gladly send the rain to you
The tired JSing is a new phenomenen for us as we used to be terribly considerate and not JS if one of us was too tired which is probably why DS is still an only child How things have changed :o

Top I'm with you there about why DS is still an only child! I stopped taking the pill in March/April 11 but I doubt we were JSing enough or at the right time for probably the rest of the year. [yawn]

I am still choking and laughing after reading the lazy / tired jsing but will keep that in mindand laugh about it

Congrats noinspiration, hope everything went well at the Gp's, wishing you an uneventful pregnancy.
Welcome Notsoold.

Dysgu, there have been 2 bfp's already...you want one, I want one, top wants one, so the rest of the thread need to fight for the remaining two. My money is on Wing, she'll blast others in the face with a well aimed netball strike & knock them out, although CheerfulYank is a Yank so she might scare everyone off with a gun? Hmmmm.

top, sounds promising. I think it was amaze last thread who correctly predicted she had C after a JS session!

Wing, we're an anti-Olympics household. DH is working almost everyday & we're probably very unlikely to get a BFP whilst he's working...he's back on normal shifts in the 2nd wk of September so I'll see him around then.
We're going to take it easy this month after me stressing out so much about not being up duffed but feeling it, ERTD is almost gone so that's one positive.

Hey!

So, just checking in really. I'm at work today, was yesterday too, and even though i only work two days a week i've missed loads!

No JS from us. DS is staying at his grandparent's tonight so it'll just be me and dh. After slimming world, i'm gonna rock his socks! I'm gonna iron the shag cape ready :)

I don't mind not getting pregnant this month. In fact, i would love for the ertd to start! I worked it out and it was a month ago today the implant was removed and i was told ertd would start within 48 hours. I'm going to call the drs now to make an appointment... just done it! Appt booked next friday 9am. I just need some answers now. I'm sick of cramping all the time, of not ovulating, of being massively hormonal. I will never get the implant again. After the next baby, dh can have the snip.
