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

AWomanCalledHorse · 27/06/2012 14:03

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 Grin

Here is the Graduates thread!

Sorry you've been sad today Notso. I had a mc shortly after DD and it is very sad :( .

I was thinking last night about how we are all, to some extent or another, in control of our lives...where we live, what job we do, who we socialise with...and yet no-one has any control over having a baby. Not being in control feels to me like a scary frustrating experience and probably because I'm so used to feeling in control.

It also made me feel really grateful for the two beautiful monsters children I've got.

That being said, I am so pleased its nearly wine time bedtime!!

Practisingparent · 18/07/2012 21:19

Good on you frying, I think you are dead brave with the google talk antics, and great about self esteem boost!

Notso sorry about mc, must be horrible, I can only imagine how sad that must be Sad

ERTD got me good and early and very unexpected today! But wasn't holding much hope for this month, so pretty glad it didn't keep me waiting for ages! indulging in some mid week Wine

notsoold · 18/07/2012 23:14

Really sorry for my dark post in the morning. I have in fairness recovered ( if that is possible) from the mc and just waiting for the AF. However out of the blue it the sadness hits you as it did in the last few days...sorry again.
guinea the lack of control is a difficult thing for me as well...and I wish that (as said in another post) that as soon as you were pregnant that you knew for sure.
practising wine sound wonderful right now!!!
Well I will leave you all for some jsing and I am still laughing about the relic flu.
wing how are you and top doing??

notsoold · 18/07/2012 23:17

Sorry if doesn't make sense (grammar and all) ...long day! I meant wing and top how are you??
And hi to everybody else...it is difficult to read and write from my phone!!!

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 07:47

Morning all :)

Notsoold Hope you have some support in this time after your MC. It's completely understandable to have bad days :(

I think ERTD is due today but after last month I'm just going to ignor it until it arrives which I'm sure it will Apart from knowing when it's a reasonable time to POAS, there is no other advantage to having a vaguely regular cycle because it actually increases stress levels around ERTD-expected time.

Anyway, hope you all get to see the sun at least for a while today Brew

topbannana · 19/07/2012 10:32

Morning all, an unusual excursion onto MN on the laptop so I may just remember everybody and everything today :o
Notso hope the MC does not get you down too much. Sometimes it does just sneak up on you and it knocks you for six :(
Wing fingers crossed that ERTD does not show up, I don't have an app as I would obsessively stare at it for hours Hmm
practising damn your ERTD but yay for Wine without guilt
dysgu I am shocked and impressed with your Google talk. DH and I are far too conservative for anything like that :o
guinea so sorry to hear your news, though on the bright side at least you know and have a date to work on for the next months JSing
kitten 2ww here for us too, do you know when ERTD should be due?

So all quiet here, into the 2ww which is good as the relic flu has manifested itself into a particularly nasty strain of "woman flu" :( Actually it is not flu, more a feeling of general grottiness, and my IBS is grumbling away to itself again which it did when I was first pg with DS Mind you I was becoming a little battle worn from DH's one man conception crusade so a few days off was most welcome :o
DS breaks up on Friday which I am dreading as it IS STILL BLOODY RAINING here. The forecast is due to pick up soon allegedly but until then it is not a great prospect having an 8 year old confined to the house for 6 weeks Hmm

Kittenkatzen · 19/07/2012 10:57

Morning ladies!

frying excellent work on the google talk shenanigans, wish i could be brave enough to give it a go but i think i'd start laughing and kill the moment!

top ertd is due on the 30th for me - glad to have someone to share the wait with :) Have already told myself that even if ertd is late I'm not POAS before the 4th, and only then because I have a wedding to go to that day so will need to know for drinking purposes!

practising Angry at ertd sneaking up on you like that.....but to put a positive spin on it, that means you're a couple of days ahead on the next cycle then :)

I'm really hoping for the weather to brighten up a bit too - our back garden is a swamp at the moment, and the grass is getting on for a foot high! However, I'm sat at work looking out the window at a mahoosive black angry looking cloud right now so I won't be holding my breath!

notsoold · 19/07/2012 11:24

School holidays from this afternoon!!! Hurray!!!

All I need is to send DS out (in this weather?), with some food (otherwise he would be back in 5 minutes), take the dog for a walk( otherwise she stares at you non stop) and then time for JS ...only for 10 minutes because by then DS is back because of weather/lack of food/ wants to stay home really and the best phrase ever " because without me here you do't have anything to do!"...

topbannana · 19/07/2012 11:41

Yes notso in years to come when DS asks why he is an only child I shall lay the blame firmly at his feet. What with his constant "popping in" to the bedroom for a hug, his inability to stay outside for more than 10 minutes before remembering a vital piece of information he needs to impart and his constant need to ask questions, its no wonder he remains an only child perhaps that is his plan?!

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 11:51

Top and Not that is really funny!

Btw those of you with relic DHs, fancy heading over to this thread to share your experiences? I have already. Blush

Age Gaps

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 11:52

And hello Kitten and boo to Practising Wine

topbannana · 19/07/2012 12:22

Damn you wing, I have the day off and am supposed to be engaged in wholesome household activities, not jollying around MN looking at even more threads. No more links you villain!!!!! :o

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 12:38

Oh I'm really sorry not Wink

Interesting to see your age gap. I thought ours was big! You obviously have low self esteem and is all a bit creepy if you ask me

Right, sorry to derail the thread. Back to JSing!

topbannana · 19/07/2012 16:11

Yes wing a terrible sufferer of low self esteem here :o The thread got a little heated so I gracefully retreated as I am such a peace loving soul!
I also had a read through the conception myths thread that was linked to up there somewhere That struck me as full of conflicting ideas and a couple of real antsy characters so I left that as well, pulling my shag cape tightly round me as I departed :o
I was also disappointed to read that apparently a woman should NOT orgasm first to optimise conception Hmm I have been looking forward to playing that card as well :o
And while I am on a roll and neglecting my housework what does a lot of pant snot mean? I mean for a few days, almost like at OV but too late for that and longer than usual- am I broken?!

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 16:55

I've only ever heard that orgasms are good for conception. I am definitely not giving those up Shock

As for pant snot, I'm not sure. I'd imagine though that our bodies are all different and whilst one of us may be a dry as a bone most of the time, others (such as you Wink ) are positively gushing normally?!

Grin
Kittenkatzen · 19/07/2012 17:05

Shock i also thought orgasms were good for conception - something about the contractions sucking up the swimmers better? Either way I like that explanation and will be sticking to it!

Might go and have a little look at the age gaps thread.....

topbannana · 19/07/2012 17:18

"positively gushing" eh?! Is that a good thing or not?! I imagine myself as a member of the local W.I - a positively gushing member of the community :o
And FWIW I am normally not a gusher by any stretch of the imagination. So I foolishly Googled it and it says it can be an early sign of pregnancy :)
but apparently it could also be an STD, infection or cancer so I went away Hmm

notsoold · 19/07/2012 22:32

Sorry but I am not giving up orgasms...I gave up nice fattening cakes ( i didn't want to be the fattest mum at the school gates,too much bbq ( because of cow's farts),too much make up, mini skirts, normal hair colour (with the bloody awful teen years of dd)....I will not give up orgasms!

notsoold · 19/07/2012 22:51

top so true!!! :)
wing I will go and read the thread now!!!
kitten are you the proud spouse of a well preserved relic like top, wing and me? Please do tell!!!
Positively gushing....WI.... only on this thread!!!! You people make me laugh!
Today DS comes from school and into his room with the door closed. We are on next room but one (keeping for the nursery because I have to be optimistic, right?) With the door closed.
We happy, quietly messing about when DS shouted banging the wall (from his room) 'I don't know what you are doing but stop it!'
How am I supposed to get jsing nad pg in this household?
We call the bastard landlord although he sounded just like my dad!!!
Jsing again just because we can...

WingDefence · 19/07/2012 23:16

Not that is so funny about your DS! DH has been in London tonight so no JSing for us but I do get twitchy around the time ERTD is due. I know it's silly but I just can't until I know one way or the other. Unless someone can show me somewhere about JSing being okay when it's the 2ww?

Night all!

notsoold · 19/07/2012 23:35

wing isn't the logic jsing as often as possible throughout the month?
Hope you have a good night and ertd
does not show....that would be great wouldn't it?

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 20/07/2012 00:33

Sorry to hear about the ERTD practising, but like you said, at least you know one way or the other.

Wing fc that ERTD stays away AND you get a BFP (feel I need to be more specific these days!!)

Top I don't envy your 2ww. FC for you too. Btw, 'gushing' pant snot has been a symptom in both my pregnancies! That being said I had it last week and thought it might be an indication I was up duffed so what do I know!

My ERTD arrived on Tuesday and has gone already. Hormones have gone crazy Confused.

WingDefence · 20/07/2012 07:46

Guinea better get that shag cape donned then!!

Not I am silly, I meant the xWW around ERTD is due (and later of the same thing happens as last month). I have a crazy notion that it'll affect any v v v early pg that might be happening and I don't want to take the chance. E.g. Tomorrow night DS is having a sleepover at his cousins so DH and I have a night off. But if ERTD hasn't arrived by then I'll feel wrong about JSing just in case.

Tell me I'm wrong please?! Hmm

notsoold · 20/07/2012 08:18

wing doing anything worried is no fun, even more js ( supposedly grown up play time). I don't know what xww means, so I will not say much.
However isn't the theory that EOD is to cover all bases ( you know oving late etc). You will know more than I
guinea poor you! Is there anybody that needs telling off??? Use those hormones to your advantage... :).
Ps I could not resist and posted on the age thread, got all misty eye with DH and instead of jsing we had a very late glass of wine....

WingDefence · 20/07/2012 08:43

Ahh will head over there in a min and check that thread out. It got a bit messy (as you'll see from my last comments!).

xWW I meant x = undetermined number (of weeks)! Because last time it was 9 days so that'd be 1.2ww?! Confused Sorry, it's really too early for all this sort of maths chat! I was trying to say any time waiting after ERTD hasn't turned up :)

I certainly don't feel very pg but do feel bloated as of ERTD is going to come so I'm not getting my hopes up this month. I just hope that if it's going to come, it doesn't take ages like for Guinea. (Btw Guinea, how long was that in the end and are you convinced at was ERTD?)
