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

989 replies

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!

Buggering phone :o
...completely random as the other. I have exhausted the usual places and am now on to unusual ones. The problem is they are the only set so we cannot lock the door, therefore we cannot go out (we managed to survive the night without being robbed and pillaged however :)) until the effing things turn up- any suggestions ladies?! :)

ChildOfThe1980s · 23/07/2012 12:05

top have you tried looking in shoes and the garden?

I am 3 days late today, but been having normal cramps. Yesterday I had some wine and felt very ill.

I PIAR and... BFP! Feeling a bit dazed.

Fingers crossed for you all for this/ next month.

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 12:08

None sorry!

That's rubbish though. Hope you get sorted soon.

Ertd still happening. It's so heavy that DH woke me up last night thinking I was dying. I'd only bloody bled through mooncup, pad, knickers and pj pants. Not a good look

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 12:08

Congratulations Child!

AWomanCalledHorse · 23/07/2012 12:27

Child!! Congrats! Don't feel bad about the wine.

top, I lost my keys over the weekend, I'd left them in someone else's car, did anyone wear a different jacket to their normal one? floorboards? Hope they turn up soon.

frying, sounds like my ERTD, hope you're feeling ok today (and yay! for getting ERTD).

This PC sounds interesting!

Had my first proper alcoholic drink since April 2011 (instead of sipping someone elses), started on the alcohopops & I didn't even get pished...so you know I'll get my BFP this month (fingers crossed), what's everyone's tipple of choice?

WingDefence · 23/07/2012 12:28

Congrats Child!!!! Grin I have been feeling odd all morning but for the wrong (ie ERTD) reasons!

Frying that's awful, you poor thing. And your DH must have been terrified too. When I was you we and used to have heavier ERTDs I'd set an alarm for halfway through the night to change my protection. Just think though, it's your body sorting itself out and hopefully getting back to normal :)

Saranza · 23/07/2012 12:59

Wing - you're very welcome Thanks

Frying - goodness, your ERTD is undertaking a massive spring clean, and getting those birthing muscles ready...(Shine those positive thoughts - and mainline ibuprofen...).

Another way to wake up is to drink lots of water just before bed and rely on your bladder - also means slightly less likely to wake DH. It is a pest having to scrub stains out of sheets when one is x yrs old.. (hormonal contraception does have some things in its favour..) Blush

topbannana · 23/07/2012 13:15

Gosh, congrats child, this thread has been a bit sparse on BFP's so far :)
The keys turned up (after I had been through both bins by hand Hmm) underneath the bread! DH is quite bashful about the whole affair which I could possibly use to my advantage :o
Still no sign of ERTD here but not getting my hopes up to high yet though I have to go to tescos later so may just look and see how much a decent HPT is

Kittenkatzen · 23/07/2012 13:22

Congratulations child!! And fx for top - two bfps in one day would kickstart this thread off nicely i think!

frying you poor thing what a total nightmare, hope you're not feeling too rubbish with it

hannahsarah · 23/07/2012 13:47

Hi - just wanted to say how much I have loved reading this thread. You know like when you're in a coffee shop and the conversation at the next table makes you giggle so much you want to go over and introduce yourself. Is this seat taken?

I am determined not to get drawn into the trap of opks and early hpts and dtd planning but I'm obsessive by nature..... I'm much crazier this month than previous cycles since we started ttc so need the quality of chat that you have on here to keep me strong and keep us JSing!

Kittenkatzen · 23/07/2012 13:49

Welcome hannah.....there's a seat just here with your name on it :o

fryingpantoface · 23/07/2012 14:05

Always introduce yourself!

Welcome Hannah :)

hannahsarah · 23/07/2012 14:25

Thanks Ladies!

If introducing myself, I should do so properly. I'm properly crazy. I used to be sane, then we started ttc.....

My 2ww is sometimes a 3ww or longer and because of stupid irregular cycle (27 - 37 days) ERTD wouldn't actually be late until Friday (CD38) and I am sadly now getting my normal cramps. What I should be doing is distracting myself by getting my head down and my work done. What I am doing is data entry on a second period tracker for iPhone. Obviously the same data I put into the first period tracker for iPhone. Did I mention crazy?

WingDefence · 23/07/2012 14:42

Welcome Hannah! I think you can have Child's seat just over here

I too should be working. However I have this extremely annoying trait whereby the more urgent and important the pile of work, the more I seek to distract myself. I really should start a procrastination thread on MN... Hmm

Persuasion · 23/07/2012 17:27

child congratulations! About time there was a BFP!

hannah welcome, come and settle yourself in. I'm mid 2ww and going crazy again too.

So we're JSing with abandon. TTC seems to have done something to our sex drives. It's almost worthy of something - 4 times in the last 2 days Blush Unfortunately I then had a tiny bit of fresh spotting. No idea what it means but hope I've not upset things, eRTD not due for another week or so.

topbannana · 23/07/2012 17:35

Welcome Hannah, one in one out- that's neat! :)
I did not buy a HPT in tescos as I has to go to the pharmacy, I had DS with me, and it just seemed a really big step (compared to chucking one in with my shopping!) Popped into Waitrose but they do not have ANY (unless they are hidden with the cigarettes) Obviously today is not my day and the purchase of a HPT seems to bring ERTD on anyway So at present we are none the wiser Hmm

ChildOfThe1980s · 23/07/2012 19:56

Thank you everyone and welcome Hannah :)

I've had cramps for the last two days exactly the same as period cramps. Naughty bodies.

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 23/07/2012 20:33

Massive congratulations Child, fantastic news!

Frying your wets sounds joyful, hope it sorts itself out soon.

Hannah welcome welcome. On this thread we do advertise JSing but I'm not sure we can guarantee non-craziness! I for one have been a hpt maniac..but am now chilled out JSer not.

We JSd last night. DH told me to keep my hips up afterwards (this is the man who absolutely does not want another baby and has agreed for my sake only!)

DS and DD are sharing a room at home for the first time tonight as DDs room gets really hot as soon as the weather heats up.

Practisingparent · 23/07/2012 21:46

Congrats Child. Am just a bit Envy! Its about time ladies (me included), where are all those other BFP'S?

Welcome Hannah.

GuineaGood to hear about pc. I luckily have a large kitchen that could work, just not sure I could get 20 women who would be as interested as me in cooking products! (£100 worth is very tempting!)

Yay, going to get laid tonight!

fryingpantoface · 24/07/2012 08:47

Good luck tonight!

Kittenkatzen · 24/07/2012 09:15

Morning......how is everyone today? Top any news?

I have been such a mardy cow for the last couple of days, I don't know what's wrong with me! Have been properly grumpy with DH who does have an annoying tendency towards self pity, but doesn't really deserve me snapping at him the way I did this morning. Poor DH :(. Grrrrrrr. Everyone on my commute this morning has annoyed me - I even sucked my teeth (loudly) at some poor woman who dared to step the side of the pavement in front of me Confused. Have got a touch of thrush I think too (sorry if you're eating breakfast!) which isn't helping my mood generally.

Anyway, moan over, hope you're all more cheery than me!

swimmingnotdrowning · 24/07/2012 13:33

Afternoon all. Poor you kitten - can you nip to a chemist for some help with the thrush - whatever else is going on, thrush won't help. Is it ok to take thrush medicine when ttc? hope frying is feeling better.....

I namechanged from hannahsarah (i just set that up when I first sneaked on here without really thinking about it).

How on earth do you concentrate on RL stuff (e.g. work!) towards the end of the 2ww????

Hooya · 24/07/2012 14:58

another newbie here. Brand new to TTC and MN. Getting the hang of things including the acronyms, though when I first read "DP" I thought it meant something much naughtier! Wink

Decided to TTC a month ago, just having my first proper ERTD after 17 years on the pill. Reminded me why I usually skipped it when on the pill!

So the shag cape is laid out nicely on the bed (and another on the kitchen table, in the shower... Grin ). I am currently labouring under the illusion that this will remain fun and I will not go at all mental and obsess about weeing on sticks. Yeah right! Oh and also agree with swimming, this thread is a proper giggle and hard to resist joining even though I am worried posting here will fuel the mental monster within.

Finally I live in Asia so will probably be on here at random times, singing quietly to myself!

Hello to you all!

topbannana · 24/07/2012 15:23

Welcome hooya! Getting busy on here again :)

Hooya · 24/07/2012 15:23

Now the me me me is over, kitten I always heard natural yoghurt is good, but don't know if you're supposed to eat it or, erm, apply it...

child huge congrats!

wing I would join a procrastination thread... after a suitable wait of course!

frying same here though not as dramatic with the over-zealous ERTD - DP pointed at the sheets in a most sarcastic way this morning!

guinea how funny about the hips. Does it really help? I like to doze off to sleep right after so may need DP to give me similar 'encouragement'!
