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!

I love afternoon JSing :-)

Could be implantation, Kitten!

God knows what's going on with your cycle, top, fx it ends with a BFP at some point.

Hey all!

Today we went swimming with ds, and it was lovely. later on i fully intend to don my shag cape. This friday i'm going to a here and now concert and perfoming will be Rick Astley, Bananarama, Toyah et al. That's on the friday night, but according to my app (i know, i know) Sat is THE NIGHT! So i'm gonna get me some eod just in case :)

Top, i know it's frustrating. Before i got preg with ds, i only had a 2 day cycle in the December, found out i was pregnant in the Jan. So it can just be a wtf pregnancy. BUT, you and me kid, we're in it together! (not literally, because that'd take some explaining with DH, but you know what i mean) I hereby proclaim that it's Top's turn next month. Grin

ChildOfThe1980s · 29/07/2012 18:55

Super congrats Wing and I'm thinking of you top.

I am six weeks now, and not feeling confident about this baby at all.

toffeesam · 29/07/2012 21:42

Fingers crossed top. :-)

topbannana · 29/07/2012 22:10

Thanks all :)
child any reason in particular? Hope all is OK at your end? Thanks

swimmingnotdrowning · 29/07/2012 22:46

Thinking of you top. Hope pant-watching eases off so you can sleep.

And fx for child feeling more peaceful

AWomanCalledHorse · 30/07/2012 05:07

Congratulations wing!!

Top, very sorry :( it's so bloody depressing when all the symptoms point one way & it goes to ERTD.

Welcome toffee!

Rick Astley frying? If that doesn't get you in the mood for JS I don't know what will. I second the motion that it shall be tops turn next month/this month/when her body stops arguing with her

child, I hope you're ok? We're here for you if you need to talk about it all? Fingers are crossed for your uneventul, boring pregnancy & painfree labour. x

NicolaHazel · 30/07/2012 06:54

On a vaguely related note, I used to work with Rick Astley's brother!

Hope you're feeling more positive today, child.

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 07:27

Ooh nicola get you hobnobbing with relatives of the stars Grin. I see your 80s popstar and raise you Matt Bellamy's cousin rents office space from my DH.....anyone else got a (less tenuous!) claim to fame around here?!

child hope you're feeling a bit brighter this morning, maybe putting "voice" to your concerns here would help you feel more comfortable?

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 30/07/2012 07:49

Congratulations wing
And a Torch for banana sounds like you are going through the mill - I hope it sorts itself out, and good luck to all other JS'ers.

I've just come home from a weekend away. Had a lovely Saturday - cleaning and tidying up our rental flat for some new tenants, then round to a good friend for tea and a play with their lovely 10 month old and then a raucous boozy night out with DP in our old haunts in Bristol. Got a great message next day from friends that I looked 'glowing' and did I have any news for them - unfortunately I think it was more to do with the cold that fully appeared yesterday. So I kind of hope I'm not PG this month as I had a fair bit of alcohol on Saturday and yesterday I took some cold remedies...

So now 'working' from home as I don't want to go into office as I feel rubbish and am using the reasoning that I don't want to infect anyone. This is first time since being freelance I've been ill and I really don't want to take the time off - I'm hoping that I can get some work done in my pyjamas so I can still get paid!

fryingpantoface · 30/07/2012 10:12

I hope you had fun anyway Stuck!

Today, i'm waiting in for a delivery from Next, and then going to just do nothing

Hooya · 30/07/2012 16:08

Hello all!

stuck do you find you can work in your pyjamas? Every time I'm working from home (10pm conference calls and the like) I end up a bit too chilled out in my pjs - once realised I was chairing a call while complaining on facebook about how boring it was - oops!

frying just doing nothing sounds lovely! I did that most of Sat after ridiculous early start for Olympics, and it was bloody brilliant!

On a completely different note, can any of you clever people offer me any advice about, erm, sperm? How long does your average man take to 'brew' a new batch? I am wondering if lots of JSing is just pointless e.g. if we're up for it twice in one day is the second one just a waste and we should really just wait til the next day? This will not be an issue for long, it's just new TTC excitement! I am avoiding googling going mental so thought I would ask your advice instead!

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 18:43

Afternoon all Smile

hooya I've heard that every other day is best in order to a) keep a steady supply of swimmers hanging around up there, and b) make sure they have time to regenerate and are of good quality. No idea how scientifically accurate that actually is though!

Well, ertd arrived this afternoon whilst I was at the gym.....obviously then on my 2 min walk back to the office I walked past no less than FIVE ladies with lovely bumps SadAngryEnvy so someone up there was having a laugh at my expense today.

Jealous, me?!! Yeah.

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 30/07/2012 19:18

Hello - have completed a full day in pyjamas! Maybe not a completely full day but enough to justify putting in a bill! The rest of the time this afternoon was mumsnet!

I have no idea about sperm production - this month we have pretty much done EOD, so we'll see. Its been quite odd - we used to have shagfests of several times in the one day, and then quite a few days off - so its been odd to be a bit organised and make sure we do it regularly, rather than just when we used to feel like it. Here's a TMI comment though - he's getting less BJ's because I see that as a waste of sperm Grin but I still get the equivalent Smile lucky me!!!

AWomanCalledHorse · 30/07/2012 19:37

Oh Kitten,

hooya, something (she of the phrase shagging like something) was at it with DP 2/3 times a day minimum & she managed a BFP fairly quickly, but I've heard the same as kitten about eod. Which is why DH is encourage to have some 'alone' time if I'm not around. Grin

Stuck, hope you feel better soon, sounds like you're paying for a nice weekend!

top, still hoping you're feeling alright?

OP posts:
frustratedpants · 30/07/2012 21:17

Can someone explain why DH is in-the-mood to JS on the day ertd arrives? Confused have cramps and liable to thump DH if he comes near me Blush

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 21:23

Lol frustrated my DH is the same - he was dropping hints a bit earlier and got a short "not likely mate" for his troubles. Poor DH, maybe I should offer to go whim some alone time like horse's DH Grin

Kittenkatzen · 30/07/2012 21:24

Go whim?

Give him!

frustratedpants · 30/07/2012 21:40

Will tell DH to "go whim"
New code for alone time Grin

Hooya · 30/07/2012 23:45

Morning all!

Laughing at the ERTD randiness - I think DP was secretly excited about mine as he'd get some other "action" than JSing! I do hope he doesn't get bored TTC, he's (TMI alert) not used to having to direct his swimmers to a particular location, if you know what I mean!!

Thanks all for sperm advice - EOD sounds more manageable to me! Not sure i have the stamina to do it like something, thanks Horse for solving that MN mystery for me!

kitten it's quite ridonculous how many bumps you see as soon as you are TTC. And since I live in Asia, lots of gorgeous skinny pregnant women who just look like normal but with a perfect bump stuck on the front. I think I will shock them if I do get upduffed and walk around looking like the side of a house!

Right, off to work for me. Hope you all had a lovely night of JSing / go whimming for those with ERTD!

Kittenkatzen · 31/07/2012 07:24

hooya it's WHEN you get upduffed, not IF....everyone on the thread WILL be getting their bfp soon. I have decided Grin

NicolaHazel · 31/07/2012 07:27

PMA from Kitten! :-)

frustratedpants · 31/07/2012 23:49

sorry ladies I have the overwhelming urge to shout PANT SNOT every time i see or think "ewcm" and just need to get the flipping words out of my head before I yell them out in the middle of the egg isle in Asda

Hooya · 01/08/2012 00:00

Thanks kitten, I hope you're right!

Nicola what's PMA, forgive my ignorance!

Grin at frustrated though I dare you to yell it out in Asda and see what happens Wink

Since most people where I am don't speak English (and even if they do are unlikely to know the term 'pant snot') I probably could yell it out randomly and get away with it!

On that subject, I haven't had any yet since I came off the pill, wonder if that's a bad sign?

swimmingnotdrowning · 01/08/2012 01:06

Positive Mental Attitude. We need a JS specific equivalent. Any offers? Shagtastic Mental (Bodily) attitude?
