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!

Hi to baby and livismum...sorry to see you back so soon, in the nicest possible way. You both seem very calm and positive, which I admire.

Fx to quick BFPs for you both.

Kittenkatzen · 03/08/2012 07:32

Morning ladies

babylann and livismum SadSad at seeing you both back here again, am gutted for you both. I hope you both bugger off again very soon - in the nicest possible way of course, with two shiny new BFPs to take with you. Happy to have you both back in the meantime though Smile

practising hope things with your DH are better soon - you never know, a nice make-up JS could be just the thing to clear the air Grin

I did read everyone else's updates but as I'm on the phone app I can't flick back up thread once I've started typing which is annoying as now I've forgotten what you all said! So I'll settle for just a big cheery wave and good morning to you all!

AWomanCalledHorse · 03/08/2012 08:39

livismum, I am sorry to hear of your mmc. Finding out at your scan must be :( I'm so glad it wasn't molar, good luck to you getting a BFP soon!
ERTD whilst camping? You're lucky a bear (or shark) didn't eat you in your tent Grin

babylann, I am sorry to hear of your mmc too. I hope your erpc wasn't too stressful and upsetting & you've spent the day, and today..and the weekend relaxing. Fingers are crossed for your BFP.

child, glad you're more positive now and I really hope it works out.
I didn't relax with DS until he was past the 'high risk' point for SiDS...not to mention the little bugger stopped moving on 2 occasions towards the end of pg, I think I'll err on the side of over caution if I ever get pregnant again.

mandasand, have fun telling everyone & I hope you & your mum are relaxed throughout the pg. It's so hard not to think of the high risk stuff/sad endings to pregnancies when you're so aware of them. x
We told PIL at 5weeks (went up to theirs for the weekend & they asked why I wasn't drinking), within a day everybugger knew (cheers MIL!).

Practising, hope you & DH didn't have a massive falling out and harmony in Chez Practising is restored soon...the advantage of not being pregnant for your birthday is people won't buy you something 'for the baby' Wink and the drinking, obviously!

TopBanana, hope you're still lurking around & doing alright? x

at Kitten

Hope everyone has something fab planned for the weekend?
Got a BFN this morning, but hoping it's just too early to tell. Not feeling pre-ERTD at all.

babylann · 03/08/2012 08:57

Thanks all :) the positives are I can focus on losing some more weight in the next couple of weeks and also have a bottle of wine when my friend comes to visit on Tuesday!

Feeling a lot better recovery wise, don't think the anaesthetic was out of my system yesterday as I was still shattered and couldn't even tidy the living room!

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 03/08/2012 10:50

babylann and livismum am so sorry to hear your news - puts things into perspective and hopefully all will work out next time.

I am going to keep lurking to find out what happens for everyone!!!!

Hooya · 03/08/2012 14:39

Evening all!

It's heartbreaking to read these stories - so sorry livismum and babylann - I am very new here but hope I don't have long to get to know you, in the nicest possible way Smile I have known a few people get pg right after mc with no problems, fx that happens to you both!

practising I agree with kitten - make-up JSing could be fun! Or even angry not-made-up-yet JSing Grin

horse hope the N turns to a P!

I am VERY EXCITED here as we are off on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow! Sooo glad to be finished with work which has been pretty stressful lately. And we've already had some quality JSing. I am trying to work out whether we should find a way to JS tomorrow - too scared to try mile high but we are stopping over for 6 hours somewhere so maybe... either way, in 48 hours or so I will be in the USA! Woohoo!

What's everyone up to this weekend?

Kittenkatzen · 03/08/2012 17:48

hooya I am VERY jealous of your holiday plans! Are you off to the east or west coast? Either way I hope the weather is lovely to you and you have a fabulous time (with lots of JSing obv Grin)

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow which should be nice - fx for sunshine please!

Showmethemhappyfeet · 03/08/2012 17:57

Hi all, this seems to be the busiest thread in conception so hope you don't mind me dropping in with a quick question. I have stopped taking my pill but no AF yet, it's been about 7 weeks since the last one. We have been dtd... A lot. How long should I leave between testing? (no idea about cycles and all that stuff!)

ChildOfThe1980s · 03/08/2012 20:30

Hugs for you babylann and livismum

Showme I think you could have tested 2 weeks ago. Unless your cycles are very long, I would suggest that you may be preggo - so POAS!

Mandasand I am actually due in March, so will have a look for the thread.

Waves to all.

topbannana · 04/08/2012 00:26

Hello lovelies!!
I seem to have been away for ages (you even slipped off my "you're on" list and I had to seek you out manually :o)
Anyway congrats times 2 to manda I had also heard that it is a last hurrah for old ovaries which causes so many multiple births in us older ladies though I have not mentioned that to DH yet
babylann and livismum sorry to hear your news :(
Sorry to anyone else I have missed, but hi anyway :)

Anyway ERTD got me in the end but another very odd one. Late(ish) little bleeding, terrible cramps with heavy bleeding and clots, back to little bleeding and so on for two days. Now almost nothing and I am generally a 5 day kind of gal so most mysterious. I think we had a MMC 3 or maybe 2 months ago (in the true JSing spirit I am not too sure :o) so it seems unlikely this is another so I may toddle off to the GP when DS is away at my DM's.
On the plus side, DS is going to my parents for an undetermined length of time (only grandchild syndrome!) The balance between peace and quiet and him having a good time versus a spoilt, over tired, over indulged brat coming home is a fine line but a week or so of leisurely JSing would be great :)
Off to a food festival tomorrow even though the last two we were going to were cancelled because of the weather Hope you all have a great weekend with plenty of JSing :)

somethingwittynot · 04/08/2012 08:09

even though i dont post much im still here lurking! and hopefully leaving lots of BFP dust behind me!

fryingpantoface · 04/08/2012 10:56

Hey!

Well, all yesterday and so far today I'm having horrific cramps. It's just so painful. So it's either ovulation pain or implantation.

NicolaHazel · 04/08/2012 11:23

My OV pain was shocking last weekend, frying, so I empathise totally. Make sure your DH/P spoils you rotten.

Hooya · 04/08/2012 15:54

Frying and Nicola, sorry about the ov pain! Though i guess it's a good pain, better than AF anyway!

Kitten, we're going to both east and west coasts, currently relaxing in the lounge before boarding! Very very tempted to drag DP off for some JSIng in the showers but he's enjoyed a few beers and not sure it's the best idea!

I am having some minor cramps, wonder if it is ov? Weird, waiting to find out what my cycle is after so long on the pill...

Anyway hope you are all having brilliant JSing weekends!

livismum · 04/08/2012 17:17

Hope you have a lovely time Hooya don't forget to document your JSing in case you can do a Posh and Beck's and name offspring after where they were conceived! Grin

Practisingparent · 04/08/2012 20:26

babylann so sorry to see you back on here, iykwim. This thread is a bit mixed with the lucky (wing and mandasand) and unlucky (livismum and babylann) occurring all at once!

DH and I have made up and js the last 2 nights, and very enjoyable js too. Had a night out just the 2 of us last night, and that was so great, I really fancy him at the mo! If Im right about ov earlier, Iv missed the fertility boat this month, DH was really disappointed so will definately be making sure we don't have ill timed arguments and weekends away next month!!!

showme please POAS and let us know!

Happy shagging ladies...Wink

toffeesam · 05/08/2012 11:17

Hooya - have a great time! Holiday JSing is the best Smile
Manda - congratulations! Bonus twins.

Horse - just pee on em all i think i am becoming a POAS obsessive too, I have bought a load of those cheep hormone tests.

Sad I want to send a Wine and Biscuit to those of you who have has MS. Sad

I might have to get some emergancy JSing in as i have just realises my neice and nephew (3 and 5) are coming to stay over the key week! I love 'em but they are exhausting. maybe just very quiet JSing after they have gone to bed Hmm.

Showmethemhappyfeet · 05/08/2012 12:00

Hi all, sorry to those of you who have left and come back. Can't imagine how awful it's been.
I ordered my bulk pack of preg tests off eBay on Thursday so as soon as they arrive I will be testing one out and let you all know.

fryingpantoface · 05/08/2012 19:14

So yesterday I had the right kinda pant snot, but I wasn't in.

So today we js, so we'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, literally just now, my DH has said that we should put having another baby on hold. He's worried about money. Could be interesting

toffeesam · 05/08/2012 21:26

Frying - The right kind of PS always shows up when i have other plans. :-)

Practisingparent · 05/08/2012 22:40

frying, your DH saying that is a sure fire way to bring about a pregnancy... good luck!Grin

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 06/08/2012 22:17

Hi all.

Sorry to hear about the MMCs - praying for clarity and of course BFPs.

Not posted for a while as DD been ill...culminating in her being hospitalised on Friday night. We were let out today and it will certainly be.nice to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Unfortunately my weekend of being in hospital coincided with fertile weekend. Having said that, have had pant snot over last couple of days but have only today got positive on OV stick. Very Confused.

fryingpantoface · 07/08/2012 09:10

I'm so sorry Guinea. Hope she's feeling better!

Go for a good js now anyways!

notsoold · 07/08/2012 09:21

Sorry to hear about DD guinea.
But calls for a happy js being out of hospital ... :)
Will post more soon...

Kittenkatzen · 07/08/2012 10:22

Argh I lost you all - it's been so long since I posted that you fell off my 'I'm On' threads, have to hunt you down you can't escape that easily oh no

guinea boo to the hospital stay, I hope your DD is better now and it wasn't too serious? Definitely time for a 'just out of hosi, glad to be in our own bed JS'!

hooya hope you're having a lovely holiday

Ummm....I don't really think I have much to tell you all really...CD9 here so the shag cape is washed, ironed and ready to go.
