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!

I am sooooo sorry for the delay!! I actually PIARd at 8am and thought I couldn't post and then we came out to the shop and I've just looked at the clock!

Anyway... BFP!!!!!! I honestly can't believe it!!! I'm not surprised in one way as ERTD really wasn't normal and I'm not going to count my chickens until 12 weeks is up because at my age anything could happen but I did buy pregnancy vitamins this morning and popped one while I was in the shop!

It was just a cheapy Internet test so I'm going to test again with my clear blue digital tomorrow to be doubly sure. It wasn't a bright line like the control line but it wasn't so faint that I had to squint. It was definitely there and DH saw it easily with his reading glasses on He was shocked as of course I had told him that ERTD had been.

So sorry for your BFN Top. I was hoping we'd be heading onto the grads thread together :(

I'm going to miss you lot! Xxx

NicolaHazel · 28/07/2012 10:59

Awww...Congrats Wing! :-)

How old are you, BTW?

NicolaHazel · 28/07/2012 11:05

Oh, and in other news I did aerial legs for the first time today, while H2B was in the shower! Though I had mentioned it to him as a post-sex thing just before he buggered off to the bathroom.

And, bless him, he asked me about whether something would help earlier. I think he's finally getting into the mental zone for trying to make a baby :-)

fryingpantoface · 28/07/2012 11:16

Congratulations Wing!!!

WingDefence · 28/07/2012 11:26

I'm 35. I don't feel ancient in myself but I know the odds of various things going wrong etc go up when you hit 35. It's all such a miracle isn't it - I mean getting that BFP in the first place, then lasting through the first 12 weeks, then making sure the baby is okay etc etc.

Phew. Deep breaths!

Right, who am I going to pass this BFP Torch onto? Top you are still in the running you know... :)

WingDefence · 28/07/2012 11:26

And thank you!

somethingwittynot · 28/07/2012 11:35

congrats wing come and join us we need more people over there!

frustratedpants · 28/07/2012 11:45

Congrats wing I'm so pleased for you.Grin

fx top

nicola what's concieve plus?

NicolaHazel · 28/07/2012 12:00

Ooh, I'm 35 too. There's hope for me.

Conceive Plus is a sperm-friendly lubricant. Meant to assist conception.

topbannana · 28/07/2012 15:20

Congrats wing though I am very Envy
Sadly the purchase of a HPT seems to have bought ERTD out into the open (finally) so at least we know where we are now. Really quite gutted but this is only our first month of "proper" TTC rather than drunken fumbling
Anyway, after over 3 years trying I should be used to the disappointment by now :(

NicolaHazel · 28/07/2012 16:15

I'm sorry, top :-(

TTC is so frustrating, isn't it?

WingDefence · 28/07/2012 17:06

Oh Top I am so sorry :( I completely understand how you feel though as we've all felt like that on here even if we don't say so when someone else gets a BFP. I'm actually in denial at the moment and can't feel excited or anything as I'm just worried that I won't reach 12 weeks. Lots of praying chez Wing.

If it's any consolation, I came off the pill in April 2011 when we moved up here and nothing happened. We only started really TTC this March when I thought a year was a fairly long time not to fall pg but I realised we weren't JSing enough throughout the cycle.

I'll retreat from here now but I'll still be lurking. PM me if you want to keep in touch on FB (please not I won't be mentioning being PG on there for quite some time so don't mention it!). x

fryingpantoface · 28/07/2012 17:32

Next month, top, it's our turn!

topbannana · 28/07/2012 18:28

Sorry for the slightly dark post earlier :)
I am past my angst now and I have beer In fairness we have only been "properly" TTC for the last month so onwards and up.
For now I am watching music videos on YouTube, drinking beer and being ever so slightly dark and maudlin while laughing at DH's ridiculously small stapler (he has countered this by telling me that, while his stapler is small, at least HE has staples whereas me and my large staple are rendered useless by our complete lack of staples to which I have no reply)
And yes frying, next month is ours Torch

toffeesam · 28/07/2012 19:25

I have been TTC for a year now and adopted the method of JS. This month i was 2 days late, then as i was getting ready to POAS, AF arrived. Gutted. turns out that AF only lasted an hour or so then stopped and has not returned after 24h. I have never had this happen and am being a wimp about the whole thing. I dont think that swolen and achey boobs are helping my mood any. Has this ever happend to anyone else? is it just the body playing silly buggers? Is POAS pointless after any bleeding?Confused

topbannana · 28/07/2012 21:53

Welcome toffee and look a little upthread at wing's experiences :)

Well DH and I have just wept like schoolgirls stood up at our first dance. Surprised by the depth of feeling that this last month has conjured up and in a strange way, we seem even closer afterwards, despite our obvious failings (yet again) in the conception department.

Have spent the afternoon listening to music videos on YouTube and following random links, finally culminating in Katy Perry- seems like time to quit really! :o

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 28/07/2012 22:09

Oh my goodness. I don't look at this thread for one day and a BFP!! Congratulations Wing fab news. Give it 6 months and I'll come and do a Pampered Chef baby shower for you Wink!

After my strange 2 day ertd, and upon the advice of the Dr, I poas yesterday...bfn as I thought it would be.

Sorry to hear about ertd top, It's really disappointing Sad.

We may JS in a minute tonight but OH is tired so I'll have to use my extra special shag cape powers of persuasion.

My friend is pg with dc4 and is looking blooming, hard not to be a bit Envy at the same time as being pleased for her...especially as we were kind of hoping to be pg at the same time (we are that sad yes!)

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday. I'm very much looking forward to Church tomorrow (think I'll have a word with Him and see if He can sort us all out Grin.

Kittenkatzen · 28/07/2012 22:29

OMG wing congratulations that brilliant news!! GrinGrin the bfp count may be finally poking up for this thread after all - pass that torch on please!

top Sad Sad ertd is an spiteful old witch isn't she? Sorry she got you this time after all.

Did everyone have a lovely day today? The weather was fab here and I'm a bit pink, oops...I had a tshirt with a cut out back on so my tan lines look ridiculous Smile

Kittenkatzen · 28/07/2012 22:30

That should have said looking not poking!

Hooya · 29/07/2012 02:16

Hello all!

Congratulations Wing very very exciting! So funny, I just shouted out to DP "yay someone on the thread is pg"!

Hello to toffee Smile

top sending all positive thoughts for next month. New to this I'm just realising how cruel it can be, and can't believe how much I wish a load of strangers will get upduffed very very soon!

Here just more JSing, remembered to tilt my hips afterwards last night so thanks to all on here for reminding me!

Now just getting ready for holidays in a week - two whole weeks of no work except secret blackberry checking while DP is sleeping and loads of shagging! Grin

toffeesam · 29/07/2012 10:14

Wing - your thread. Gave me hope. Congratulations.

Thanks for the welcome, i feel i may be on here for some time. Body is just playing tricks. Woke to af this morning.

It's hard not to feel green, my friend and i started trying the same time and she deliverd last night. Happy but green all at once.

Oh well another month of headstands. :-)
I'm sure wing will take some of you with her next month.

This is my first time mn, you can't get this info anywhere else. You stopped me from being a complete nutter yesterday, thank you.

swimmingnotdrowning · 29/07/2012 11:24

Congratulations wing! It is a miracle. We'll say a prayer for you here too (i love the bit in psalms where it says that God knits a baby together in the womb - he's working on your bfp's stitches right now)

Welcome toffee. I'm relatively new on here and hanging out with a bunch of similarly crazy strangers really does seem to help.

Sounds like there is lots of JSing this weekend. Hope that means lots of BFPs soon!

WingDefence · 29/07/2012 14:28

Just popped back to say thanks all and Swimming I was looking at that psalm (139 13-18) this morning and it made me feel quite peaceful, even though I don't know what is in store for the next few months.

Right, back to lurking Wink

topbannana · 29/07/2012 16:54

Well, after all the hysterical teeth gnashing and wailing of yesterday........nothing Hmm
Currently engaged in half hourly trips to the loo to check if the old hag HAS properly arrived but as of 30 minutes ago no sign. Does not really explain yesterdays BFN but tomorrow will be the date of my longest cycle EVER (since I have been keeping notes anyway) and still no proper ERTD feelings- WTF?!!!
Cannot even begin to imagine that I may be PG now and have no desire to clutch at straws so WILL NOT be testing or anything until next weekend. In the meantime, its off to the loo again :)

Kittenkatzen · 29/07/2012 17:21

Afternoon all, welcome toffeesam come a join in the madness, you're in good company!

wing make sure you pop back and keep us all updated on tinywing :o

top I'm frustrated for you! I've heard the phrase "wtf cycle" around here and I think it definitely applies to you this month!

Well we js'd this afternoon, just for fun as af due any day now. A little spotting afterwards so I reckon ertd is in the neighbourhood.
