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!

Actually mandasand I think it's the first of this thread so congratulations!!!! Wise not to get too excited but YOU HAVE A BFP!!! :)

mandasand · 03/07/2012 21:35

thanks, topbanana! :-D

fryingpantoface · 03/07/2012 21:45

Congratulations!

A very unmumsnetty eek!

Rivergirly · 03/07/2012 21:54

just checking in. still nothing for me getting lots of bloatedness when due ERTD and last time it was nearly 3 weeks late now getting to what I think is when ERTD should be due but no symptoms at all again assuming this means no BFP this month. But we're fine it's still early days for us. :)

And congrats mandasand - BFP always good news!!

AWomanCalledHorse · 04/07/2012 07:14

Yay mandasand! Congratulations, can understand not getting too excited...let us know when you've had your 12wk scan & we'll get into proper celebrating mood Grin, seconding the unmn Eeek frying said!!

at River, well if it's bfn for you..that's another month of Wine, every cloud & all that!

Offically late ERTD here, not getting my hopes up or anything...

Frying, I'm going to re-start shred on Saturday...I had a problem with my knees before so I'll be taking it a bit slowly.
Frank discussion sounds good, it can be hard when you lose intimacy. We're not JS until the weekend because we're trying to stop it becoming all about ttc too.

When are you planning to PIAR horse? I no longer keep tests in the house as it is just too tempting (though YOU started this thread so maybe the magics worked on you already?! :) )
We are enjoying JSing again and have stuck to EOD, though it's very early days yet. At least the rain means we are not tempted to do anything outside! I took the dog to agility last night at 6.30 and left DS and DH in their PJ's, with the heating on, reading and drinking hot chocolate- IT'S JULY FFS!!!

yay! come join us on the other side! scans not for 6 days!

am awaiting a lift to a&e with DS he has an odd egg shaped lump over his soft spot

NewChoos · 04/07/2012 10:00

Morning, Can I join please. I am clueless, 40, like prosecco (will be giving this up of course) and chocolate (hopefully not giving that up although had GD with DS 15mo). Working almost FT but will be trying to fit in the baby making where poss, inbetween half hearted attempts at sleep training and trying to do weightwatchers.
Going to read the thread now with a coffee and some toast.

Persuasion · 04/07/2012 10:20

Congratulations manda!

Welcome newchoos (love the name)

something I hope DS is ok

Like woman I'm a bit in limbo. I'm a day late after very light spotting on 11 and 12 dpo but BFN this morning, still only 13dpo though so I guess time for a test to come positive? Am trying not to get my hopes up too much though.

AWomanCalledHorse · 04/07/2012 10:36

top, I have no more sticks...only OV sticks. Stupid stuff all in the same packaging! But ordered some more internet ones so I'll test whenever they get here (mate works in a GP Surgery, so tempted to ask her to get me some, but she'll want to know results!).
Sounds like you had a lovely cosy day..but heating on?! That's crazy!

Thanks for answering South! I'll discuss it more with DH & see if he wants to start going at the same time (we're not looking at going until the New Year, think I'll pop along for one of the really busy Christmas Masses & see how I like the vibe? Less likely to get cornered by someone then)!

something, soft spot on his head? Hope he's just bumped it...let us know how it goes x

Welcome Choos! Hope this thread helps a little, good luck with the weightwatchers & sleep. I don't know much about GD, but are you at a higher risk of getting it if you've already had it?

Persuasion, fingers crossed for you. x

something hope your little one is ok. Thanks for the welcome and congrats to manda.
horse yes, so I am trying to lose a stone before TTC but as we're bringing this forward now, will just try and be super healthy and curb my sweet tooth.

Ooooh, lots of exciting stuff going on!

Mandasand Congratulations, that is fantastic! Lets hope the BFP's come thick and fast now!

Newchoos Welcome, we have not had many newbies since this thread began, and we need people to fill the 'soon to be empty' spots. Sounds like you are trying to achieve a lot all at once!

Shag cape has been getting a lot of action since DH got back... yay! We are certainly stepping up the action, think we will have a rest tonight, unless pant snot looks positive, but (TMI) kind of hard to tell whats what!

South, how old is your DS? Cant wait til DD can do that!

topbannana · 04/07/2012 11:28

practicing I just laughed out loud at your TMI. I too get slightly "confused" but have never quite got round to mentioning it :o
south DH is starting to take better care of himself too which is great and also has the added benefits you mention! The not drinking certainly seems to free up vast swathes of time I had never realised was missing!

Im glad someone understands what dilemmas we face! Think I will check tonight (rest night).

Happy JS top, use the time wisely!

Practisingparent · 04/07/2012 11:53

Its a good approach, South but my cycles are so irregular , I literally have no idea when OV may occur. (But then I guess this thread is about less control, more JSWink)

Thanks for the congrats everyone! I have a doc appointment at 5pm. Not sure if this is usual (I just phoned them up this a.m.) or because I am over 35!

So where do all the graduating JSers go? Is there a nice and laid back 'just preggers' list?! Good luck all - hoping this is good omen for the new thread! And thanks for all your support. I'm not sure I'd have got my BFP if I hadn't learnt all about pant snot on here! :) xx

thanks south! see you over there, soon?? good luck xx

fryingpantoface · 04/07/2012 14:04

Ok, what does eod mean?

It's lovely to see some newbies! When I first started posting on here I was worried cos I was joining an already formed group if you know what I mean. I shouldn't have worried! Let the newbies start jumping in too!

ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs · 04/07/2012 14:30

Woman I started replying to your post about church yesterday...so no with it! I agree with South about not feeling pressured. I was going to say that if a church makes you feel awkward about being there then find another church!

Congrats Manda fingers crossed I'll be joining you soon!

Frying eod means every other day...the holy frail of JSing I believe!

Did another test today and still a BFN, think my cycle has randomly messed up :( will just have to keep JSing I suppose.
