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!

It's awfully quiet on here, I imagine it's the sheer volume of JSing going on that's preventing others from posting :o
south we are not into football but can definitely see the attraction of half time! Sadly we do not have a TV at the moment (strangely cleansing for the soul actually) which means DH has had to agree to find a pub showing the Wimbledon mens final if Andy Murray gets through- he was strangely accepting of this fact :)
Anyway ERTD has finally nuggeted off so my shag cape is pressed and hanging expectantly behind my bedroom door for later :o

[AWomanCalledHorse]

frying, don't forget to shred today! I will be this afternoon once DH gets in.

south, I started watching the football but gave up after the 2nd goal, too depressing to watch!

top wayhey for ERTD pissing orf. 'Where Willy Went' sounds hilarious educational! Luckily my mum spent most of my childhood pg so I understood sex & the results.

In symptom watch today; my tummy has gone 'hard' (IYSWIM?) & I'm having a few pressing pains so it seems ERTD is going to happen, I'll be more upset than previous months when it does as I've been 100% I'm feeling pg, IYSWIM again?

[ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs]

Woman my tummy going hard was one of my first signs of early pregnancy!

Still no ERTD here ... Due on Saturday. I was baptised yesterday so was hoping that it would hold off til after that as I was fully immersed in a pool.

Keep alternating between a 'heavy' feeling and thinking its going to start any minute and not feeling at all like its coming. Ho hum, will wait for the joyful occasion and celebrate being able to drink for another month with a glass of !

[somethingwittynot]

eeeek a week till my scan! come on you lot pop out some BFP!

[topbannana]

Ooh guinea congrats on your baptism. DS goes to a CofE school (despite my heathen leanings) and DH was something of a God botherer in his youth (his words, not mine!) I was christened but have never "done" church until DS started to help out and I have begun to feel that we should attend more often as a family- time will tell :)
Fingers crossed to all of you who ERTD is late (or messing about) for

[AWomanCalledHorse]

Congratulations Guinea on the baptism, hope it was a lovely, memorable day!

top, the best primary school in the area is CoE (and I wouldn't send DC to a religious school if I didn't follow the religion), DH was raised Christian & I was raised 'think what you want but you're Jewish'...so I'm another seriously considering going to a local CoE to see if it's for me/us.

Fingers are crossed for you Guinea on the ERTD-front, exciting that my symptom is your symptom!! Share the BFP if you get one

south, yep Italy...although like you I love shouting German names at the tv!

[fryingpantoface]

just checking.in! No ertd, still bfn, so we'll wait and see what happens.
Horse, did you do shred?
Congrats on the baptism Guinea! Which church? If you don't mind me asking

[AWomanCalledHorse]

south, ever since I was a girl whenever Pirlo's name is mentioned I have to say 'Piiiiiierrrrrrlooo!', it's annoying for me, people watching it with me & probably the great man himself.
But you're right, it's not SCWEINSTEIGER!!!!

frying, I did indeed shred & it turns out my pelvic floor isn't as good I thunk it was, so I'm off to look into ways of improving it
If you didn't shred...wait until I've recovered & I'll hunt you down!!

No more ERTD symptoms here, so it's looking good for the thread!

Congratulations Guinea on your baptism (as in 'born again'?) I second Fryings question about what church? and Souths, whats shred?

DH coming back tonight, hopefully he is not too knackered to JS, Ive been looking forward to it!

[AWomanCalledHorse]

shred (hope my hyperlink works), it's a workout dvd that's actually quite decent!!

Have fun tonight Practising.

[Practisingparent]

Thanks south. I think a full immersion baptism is usually for 'believers' and is quite different to an infant christening. Im a christian and was baptised when I was 16 or 17.

Put me right Guinea, if Im wrong!

[ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs]

Thanks for the congrats all! It was a lovely service and a very emotional day...I cried on a number of occasions, but then I always do cry at Church!

Yes it was a believers baptism that follows becoming a Christian. It is a demonstration of faith rather than a pre-cursor to it so is different to an infant Christening. I go to a Baptist church in Leeds (LRBC).

Still no ERTD, but hardly daring to hope after last month and a BFN.

It's not stopped raining here all day...Hopefully the bad weather will encourage us all to stay in and JS. Silver lining etc...

[somethingwittynot]

yeah its a repeat of my early scan to see if theres a fetal pole and a heartbeat pretty much symptiomless here but know it can still kick in!

[fryingpantoface]

Well, I got back yesterday, and had to go straight out for a family dinner.
By the time we got back I was shattered. So no js for us. Maybe tonight

[fryingpantoface]

Good luck something!

[AWomanCalledHorse]

When is the best day to start testing post-ERTD due date? I tested 2/3 days before due..does that rule out a pg? Or should I wait until weekend? ERTD was due yesterday/today..no more symptoms so unless it surpises me I don't think it's coming.

Guinea, sounds lovely!
As you all seem to know a bit about religion, would it usually be frowned upon (by the Rev or the patrons) if I took DS to church (CoE) but didn't get him baptised? I want him to know as much about the subject before he makes the choice if it's the religion for him, if that makes sense? I love the idea of a Guinea style demonstration of faith/understanding what it means instead of him just knowing he was baptised as a child.

something, how did it go? Am hoping no news is good news.

frying, DH has told me not to shred today because I'm hobbling around (I didn't even notice) but he's giving me a leg massage instead, win-win!!

[fryingpantoface]

I think that's a lovely idea. I was brought up Mormon and people we're always welcome, even if not getting baptised. I'd assume it's the same everywhere.

I didn't shred neither, I've been out all day. Let me know when you start and I'll do it too.

We js tonight! Entertained baby with snacks and cartoons and crept off! Was lovely.

Also had a frank discussion and we've agreed to js more often, bout three times a week. Which is always good! Not just because of wanting another baby, but because since ds was born, we've lost some of that intimacy which is normal, but not a good thing.

But, that's me off on a tangent!

If you're due today, woman, I'd test now. It may not have shown up earlier. Fingers crossed for you!

Hello shaggers! I have good news ...

It looks like not stressing myself out too much with symptoms etc the last few weeks may have worked ... got a BFP this evening! Just did it again and it came up straight away! :)

My last cycle was 31 days, and today I was at 33 days with no period. I felt a bit nauseous this afternoon, but also had slight stomach cramps and started biting the inside of my cheeks a bit (which I usually do when period is coming - weird I know). So instead of worrying about whether or not I just did a test, expecting it to be neg.

But it wasn't! We're not getting toooo excited. At my grand old age anything could go wrong ... and it is v. early days. But I think this counts as another BFP for the thread!
