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!

Funny!! :-)

Frying Hurrah for ERTD!! "up to" do to be the key missing words from what the Dr said.

Wing - well since you ask...natural family planning teachers help women to use charting of BBT, cervical fluid and cycle length to work out when when they're fertile. Then you choose when and how to have sex depending on whether you want to get pregnant.

It's not as icky or tricky as it might sound, and there's a good quality study of 900 women over 10 years that found it was over 98% effective as contraception:
humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/22/5/1310.long

In terms of ttc, if you're interested then you can do a bit of charting as well as JS. But nothing hardcore. Maximum of 3 months. JS is the main thing! (and of course checking you're immune to rubella, taking folic acid and vit d - you know all that stuff)

If you want to find a NFP teacher, check this list. It's the one that the fpa recommends for finding a teacher. Strictly speaking we're called fertility awareness teachers but lots of us call ourselves natural family planning teachers to avoid confusion - my name is Sarah and I'm in the London bit of the list - I'm assuming that this counts as info rather than advertising??

I've been really busy the last few weeks, with work and Jsing and you lot talk too fast for me to keep up!

frying my brief googling does suggest it can be up to a year but it can come back sooner for lots of people. I don't want to give you false hope, but maybe just keep JSing and see what happens. You're welcome to stay here of course if you want!

stuck I don't think there's any real answer. FWIW I don't personally restrict plans at all, I don't think I could cope with the stress of TTC if my life was on hold as well. I think it's a pretty individual decision though.

Now where are all the BFPs???

Saranza you're right, I did ask! That's really interesting so thanks for the information.

Persuasion - yes, I can't remember when the last one was!

Congrats frying Loving the idea of you and DH high-fiveing, it seems so out of place on this thread :-)
Soooo, I am (according to my calculations) CD28 and still gushing feeling odd. Valiantly resisted buying one of those CB very early HPT's today. No feelings at all that ERTD is approaching but my cycle has been a bit up and down lately so there's still time

I high five my bf & DH all the time

Oooh top when do you think you'll cave and POAS??!

Morning shaggers! Think ERTD has arrived here, only 3 days late so not a horrendous wait this time. It's odd that last year I seemed to have a fairly regular 28 day cycle but since we've been properly TTC this year it's been 28 only a couple of times.

Anyway, hope the sun is shibin for you and you all have lovely days today :)

*Shining

Dur.

Hi all. Was at Pampered Chef national conference for the last 2 days and it was AMAZING! I think Im going to recommend to everyone I meet that they immediately give up their jobs and join the Pampered Chef! I realised just how brilliant the opportunities are.

Anyway, enough of me gushing about the delights of Pampered Chef! Wing sorry to hear about ERTD, but at least you didn't have to wait long...still its only little consolation I know.

Top how exciting! Do let us know when you'll POAS.

Incidentally I learnt the other day that you should only use mid-stream urine for a hpt, so maybe PIAR is better.

After ERTD stopping on Thursday it hasn't come back again, just had a bit when I wipe. V.unusual for me as I'm usually heavy for 2-3 days , will see what the Dr says in a couple of weeks. Hormones hey, who'd have em!

Should probably get ready for church at some point. Have a good day y'all! X

BTW Frying v.glad errs arrived. Hope that shag cape is washed, ironed and ready to go!!

Guinea any exciting new PC products on the horizon...?! (Sorry, derailing thread.)

Happy Sunny Sunday everyone! :)

Wing how long was your cycle this time?

Guinea how long did ERTD last? Mine are always 7 days.

Well I am two days late now but getting lots of cramps so trying to stay calm. Also off to church soon.

Off to church this morning and then off to the pub to meet friends for lunch :) Not wanting to waste money on a HPT again I shall wait patiently, with poise and decorum. Though now I have voiced my thoughts ERTD is bound to arrive! (and I am rashly wearing white trousers today as an extra invitation to it )

frying YAY for ERTD (not what I usually say)! Stupid doctor upsetting you.

top I have my fingers crossed for you, good luck.

wing sorry about ERTD, sounds like you're coping ok with it though.

I have no idea when I OVed this month. Sure I'm in the 2ww but other than that who knows

Hi all. ERTH hasn't arrived properly yet but I know it has IYKWIM - it has tended to do this annoying teasing spotting thing before really starting the last couple of months. I think cycle was 31 this month.

Have felt rotten with it all day though. Went to a friend's farm for lunch and was really bleugh until after lunch. Recovered by sitting in the sun and chatting and helping feed 3 day old calves and collecting eggs :)

Yes Top you temting fate wearing white trousers! Were you roller skating too and being pulled along by a pack of dogs...?!

Wow Wing feeding 3 day old calves sounds fun! After church DD and I went to a friend's for lunch and they plied me with , it was lovely sitting in the sun and relaxing, even if DD was a terror demanding!!

Child my ertd usually lasts 5-7 days but it was barely 2 full days this time...I think its safe to say I have no idea what's going on.

Wing the new catalogue is amazing! Super exciting new products in September. Where abouts do you live?

That's lovely! So cute with the calves

I'm having an ertd of actual death. It's awful

My first one post-pill was like that, frying, utterly horrendous (my first natural AF in 17.5 years!).

The last one was better, thank god.

frying I feel for you :(
wing I have those bastard ERTD where it hangs about for days before WHAM! Why do our bodies do this?!
And I left the roller skates behind today (not terribly dignified in church I thought!) Anyhow, I think I will go bile riding tomorrow, another sure fire way to lure ERTD out into the open :o
I still have grumbling IBS which gives me stomach cramps so ERTD cramps could be hiding behind them. Aside from that, I am not at all keen on my weekend alcohol, I am still "gushing" (!) and I feel completely washed out- after all this time I hardly dare hope

Quite clearly I meant bike riding (bile riding FFS!) :o

Hi y'all!
Hhhhm, lots of us at church this morning, hoping to get the Big Guy on our side?

Then went to friends baby shower(2nd dc), and came back feeling quite relieved we just have the one to run about after! Came back to see DD in paddling pool, and thought just how lucky we are!

Guinea (to further derail) how do the pc parties work? Is it a cooking party, and if so what do you make and how many people is a good number?

frying High Fives to you! (offers paracetamol)

stuck can offer no very good advice for your predicament, YANBU but we try not to put anything on hold, its life! but at same time would hate to be on my own with a new baby!

I think evil red is trailing off now... back to good old js for me! cheers

top so funny, bile riding! Was trying to imagine how that works! might help lure the witch, but do you really want to give up hope this month?

Practising PC shows are fab.! 15-20 is an ideal number for a show. I offer theme parties and then the host and I discuss what sort of recipe they would like to do at their party. The parties can be done anywhere...most people do them in the lounge/dining area because this is generally the most spacious room, but tiny rooms are fine too (i have a friend who regularly does shows in shoebox size rooms on an ironing board!)

Average hosts get around £100 of free stuff, so well worth doing.

Guinea - I have just messaged you via your PC website :)

Frying - that sounds awful - can you self-medicate with and [biscuits]? :(

Top - fingers crossed ERTD doesn't arrive....

First day of the holidays and "someone" has lost the front door keys. We came back from lunch yesterday, I had driven DH had three pints hence is uncapable of remembering who actually unlocked the door (it wasn't me BTW, we are agreed on that) Sadly DH after 3 pints and DS at 8 years old have equally as much chance of putting them somewhere com
