Just Shagging - The lazy TTCers heaven, this is Shaggers Corner, Part 11

(sorry I know that's awful but seriously, can you think of anything else that rhymes with "eleven"?!)

Ladies, leave your OPKs at the door, and settle in for part 11 of JSing!

Fred rules;

  1. Thou shalt shag as much as humanly possible in order to get upduffed.
  2. Thou shalt not partake of OPKs, temping, or charting.
  3. Thou shalt keep symptom spotting to a minimum.
  4. Thou shalt share Wine and [tea] with your fredmates where needed.

JSing lingo;

ERTD = Evil Red Tide of Dooooooommmmmmm. Or AF to most others.
Pant snot = Egg white cervical mucus.
Doing a kitten = Getting upduffed soon after joining (warning: may induce Envy in other posters).
Viroid = This is you, dear poster. The reason for this is a closely guarded secret, known only to....er....well, nobody as far as we can tell!
POAS = Pee On A Stick (of the pregnancy detecting kind, not from a tree). Also known as PIAR (Pee In A Ramekin - cos we're posh birds innit).
Shagging like something = JSing like a teenage nymphomaniac.
Giving a hooya = Giving a much needed slap to a fellow poster in danger of slipping into ttc obsession.

The link to Part 10 is here.

The link to the latest grads thread is here.

So don those shag capes, we have standards to maintain - Part 10 saw an amazing 9 BFPs, including one set of twins! So - what are you still doing here? GET SHAGGING!!

Grannyapple · 17/09/2012 09:44

Sorry....welcome luisa

notsoold · 17/09/2012 11:30

welcome luisa

andie we wait for news???

Hi everyone.... I am mainly lurking quietly as today is the day when DH stents will be removed so no jsing much (managed twice in the last 30 days!!! Sorry TMI)
I am also dispairing in deciding what to do with my life. I would gladly put my life on hold for baby n. 3 but common sense says no... so I have to decide if going ahead with a refresher in Beauty therapist or staying put in my increasingly job asap. It is all here (sorry can't do threads from smartphone)
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/freelancers/1566077-Beauty-Therapist-as-a-new-career-advice-appreciatted here and opinions are truly needed!!!
And Goood Mooorrning to all jsers everywhere!!! :)

33PinkLadyApple · 17/09/2012 13:31

JS drought here. 3 weeks! H2B better jump me this weekend or we'll be out for Oct BFP. Angry only trouble is we are going away with his folks this weekend and the walls are VERY thin where we are staying. It means must do it Friday and/or Sunday night as Saturday is out of the question. Still don't know if I'm ovulating but will hopefully, so JS just in case. keep thinking, it would be nice to get BFP early oct so we can have scan and reveal all at xmas... shouldn't stress myself with silly targets

Hi notso whatever desicion you make, it will be the right one.

Welcome luisa

swimmingnotdrowning · 17/09/2012 14:12

Welcome to the madhouse

Also, nice to see you back notso

Keeping fx for hooya - was thinking about your hopefully meaningful nipples yesterday (if that doesn't weird you out I don't know what will)

You made me laugh kitten but I still thinking aiming at glass jar is easier than trying to aim at a tiny section of a stick so "piar andie should"

AndieMatrix · 17/09/2012 15:16

It appears Ive caused aome hysteria here. Star Wars references greatly appreciated. Grin Vomiting turned out to be a stomach bug. At least I hope so because I didn't stop for 16 hours and I'd hate to have one of those pg's with horrendous 'morning' sickness. I will be taking another test at the end of this week as I do have a lot of other symptoms and a friend has just found out she's pregnant after two tests said she wasn't. I was using Asda's own ones so might stump up for a Clear Blue this time.

How is everyone on this grim Monday?

AWomanCalledHorse · 17/09/2012 15:35

Welcome Luisa!

Kitten, I think DH would have some choice words to say if there wasn't cake consumed at somepoint...I on the other hand am on a low/no sugar diet atm

Andie, boo for stomach bug! Ooooh for test at the end of the week!

notso, yay! Will DH be very tender for a while post-stents removal?
I'd say go for it, stereotyping Mancs ladies but you lot seem to be quite into pampered & preened as a way of life (memories of seeing young ladies in rollers walking about Ooop North), so you're always likely to have business. Plus being freelance means even if No3 came along you could work as much/little as you wanted to...could you do an evening refresher alongside current job?

Naughty H2B!

Good luck re-testing Granny.

Fingers are crossed here for you Hooya.

33PinkLadyApple · 17/09/2012 16:31

Thanks horse!

notsoold · 17/09/2012 17:02

thanks horse...yes the girls up here are more into beautifying themselves than the girls from Brazil!!!
Yep,....DH will come home tender and sore, but do I care ??? NOOO!!! I will jump on him as I am getting edgy !!!
a refresher course would be the idea and concentrating in nutrition as well...
I totally agree about happy number 3 and time out with little one (if we are lucky) otherwise I might be a grandma soon!!! :)

thanks granny...

just stressing this days....:(

PerditaMcLeod · 17/09/2012 17:14

Afternoon ladies. Hope we all had a good weekend with plenty of Wine and shagging Grin

DP now away on business for a few days giving me some much needed recovery time!

Off work today sick, but have spent the afternoon amusing myself with a very long and extremely smutty thread involving Mr Tumble. Am now seeking immediate therapy! My ribs ache from too much laughing.

Trying not to obsess about every little imagined symptom, but suspect I may be driving myself crazy in a couple of weeks!

Welcome Luisa and Perdita!

Hope everyone had good Mondays. I survived!Grin

FrustratedSycamorePants · 17/09/2012 19:05

How's potty training going suffolk? inappropriately adds; shouldn't you be potty trained by now?

AWomanCalledHorse · 17/09/2012 20:54

DS took his first steps today!!! He also ate a handful of dirt. He's a genius. Grin

Suffolk, how's the potty training? Your pg symptoms sound awful!
Early pg I was knackered all the time, bit nauseous & PMT-y.

notso, why the stress? Work, ttc or other? Hope jumping DH helps you feel better. x

Finally remembered where your name is from Perdita, it's been irritating me since yesterday!! Hope you're not too sick?

DH isn't home for another few hours so I've got time to watch 'I didn't know I was pregnant' & grizzle/fantasise, depending on the story!

Grannyapple · 17/09/2012 21:14

Hi ladies...can't decide if ERTD is here or not...I sometimes have a bit of spotting then proper ERTD a few hours later. I think I had some 'spotting' last night (nothing during the day), & then a bit more tonight...sorry if tmi but it seems a bit pink mixed with clear pant snot if that makes sense, & seems to happen after a poo...been to loo again (wee this time) & just teeny bit of brown when I wipe. Don't think there'll be anything later if you know what I mean.

Sorry for the ramble but does this sound like sporting? Never had it before in my puff!

Grannyapple · 17/09/2012 21:16

Ffs not sporting...spotting

Well done suffolks dd. Grin

Pineapple80 · 17/09/2012 21:40

Horse - aww, good on your DS on his first steps! :)

Grannyapple - I'm in the same boat as you at the moment with the spotting (right down to it appearing at same time as doing poo! Hehe!), except I'm getting mainly SBG (strange brown goop). Sorry all if TMI. I havent had any bright red ERTD yet either...and ERTD was due today (normally bang on time). I'm fully expecting it to start very soon though since i've cramped on and off for the past couple days. It's very annoying as i just want it to be over and done with so we can start round 2. Grrrr-argghhhh!

Fingers crossed for everyone :)

Grannyapple · 17/09/2012 22:40

Aw horse 1st steps..& on holiday too....yay! How old is ds??

pineapple tis a complete pain, eh?! Same here....just want to know either way do can get on with it...grr! Why is it now our bodies devise to muck us around?! (has stern word with body to make sure ERTD never be this late again without good reason!).

Pineapple80 · 18/09/2012 06:06

Update, it's definitely ERTD now Sad. At least it definite and we an plan for this month now.

Kittenkatzen · 18/09/2012 07:27

Hurrah for first steps and potty training success though! SmileSmile

Pineapple80 · 18/09/2012 07:31

Thanks Kitten. That's the plan Smile.

PerditaMcLeod · 18/09/2012 09:33

Horse, it's just some kind of virus. Am so exhausted. Another couple of weeks and I would have been jumping to conclusions over this level of fatigue! Oh yes, and over the weekend DSS left a nappy of such revolting toxicity on the bathroom floor that the smell made me puke...

Another day on sleep, mumsnet and netflix, and I should be ready to face going back to work tomorrow.

Fantastic news on little horse's first steps!
