Bring on New Year Bfp's, it's Just Shagging thread 13!

[DingDongBelle]

Couldn't stand a Fred with only a couple of posts left so I filled it up!

Here is the 13th installation of the Just Shagging saga. If you're a bit lazy relaxed in your approach to getting upduffed, come over here for a natter!

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 and 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 in other posters).

Viroid = This is you, dear poster. This is from the first JS thread when someone tried to type 'ladies' and it autocorrected to 'Viroids' - so there you go!

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). Or PIATLH (Tea light holder) PIAWG (Wine glass) or anything else you care to pee in!

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.

Contraband = Of COURSE none of us EVER partake of any silly opk's or temp charting. They are Contraband

Happy shagging shaggers

Choco CP is chemical pregnancy.

According to my apps (yes I have 2...) I'm either due ERTD tomorrow or Friday - no idea why there's a difference!! So am going to do an IC first thing tomorrow if I remember, although as I usually wake up and nip for a wee with my eyes practically still closed I can't guarantee I'll remember! No symptoms of pregnancy but no symptoms of AF either... When I had DS I didn't find out until I was 6 weeks though as just felt normal until I realised I was two weeks late

Hiya, gals! Congrats ladyflump and hooya!!!! All is well here across the pond.

Been symptom spotting like a nut staying cool, calm and collected until Friday, P day (like D day, but on a stick). I am waiting for you thethreeblondies so save your other test! But unlike you with your leaky nips I have no symptoms. Maybe some cramps? Or maybe it is just indigestion. I don?t know. I stared at my boobs in the mirror last night until I had myself convinced they were larger and veinier (is that a word?) than usual. Then I charged into the bedroom and woke my husband up to investigate. He was so startled he thought there was an intruder in the house. He said they looked normal and to ?go to damn bed.?

I have a baby shower to go to on Saturday. Depending on how P day goes, I could be blissful or bitter. Just kidding. Maybe.

RockChick you made me feel better as I have two apps too I figure I am already slightly anal and obsessive so why stop at one app lol

I haven't had eczema since I was about 5, and now I randomly have it on my tummy

I miss it here , but feel like a phoney if I stay

I have 2 apps too ......... although slightly useless now

Oh I'm totally slightly obsessed, Cleo. I think we are all slightly totally crazy. I'm going to be in that cave there for some time! Everyone's welcome. I now have a cold and have woken up still feeling really tired - even after nearly 9 hours' sleep. I need a massive Hooya!

Any news yet Rock?

Ha ha - I've done that Red with the boobs. Didn't ask DH though!

My DH does make me laugh! I know Frog what you mean about keeping the swimmers warm - never mind his dignity! He came in wearing clothes so either he stole from someone or he very quickly put his running tights on in the hallway. (Tights - I know )

Threeblondies - sounds very promising at only 10dpo! When can you POAS?

Hope everyone else is well.

Oh stay Tuddles - or at least pop in and out. Other people do.

P.S. Tuddles - feel for you with the eczema. E45 is a winner for mild eczema (i.e. where the skin isn't broken) and Sanex shower gel or a shower gel with a ph neutral formula is best for me (sorry if you already know that)

Ohh I definitely need to stay in the cave, maybe move to a dark dark corner.

I noticed my pee smelled today sigh

Red I asked my hubby too about my boobs and was told that they are just big and will get droopy after breastfeeding...not very helpful I know!

They can be so sensitive men, can't they Elektra? I would be glad for mine to get a bit bigger. I'm not tiny, but there's definitely room for improvement!

I'm staying in the cave Elektra but afraid of being hooyaed to death. It's a chance I'll have to take . . . Thank goodness it's a pretend cave

Hahaha! Men are generally a little bit odd :)

My mother used to wonder what I would do when pg as my boobs would be massive (I'm a little blessed in that department)...lovely!

I think I should stay in the cave forever for a long time, especially when I noticed the smell!

I definitely need a hooya right now!

BFN

I've been incredibly emotional so far today (don't get that before AF) but as DH pointed out it could just be that I'm disappointed by no BFP and that's why I've ended up in tears twice this morning, rather than crazy pregnancy hormones!

When I woke up today DH says "Oh! Your boobs look bigger" than I sat up and he says "No, was just the angle" GRRRR.

Anyway, feeling a bit bloated today, but that's probably cause I ate crap last night. Af is due tomorrow, but I'm going to try and hold out till Friday to test, as I'll be busy tomorrow running around with work. Fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear that Rockchick :(

Oh bless Crackerjack! I shall keep my fingers crossed for you! AF is due next week for me and a friend keeps suggesting to take a test now...! I was going to and then had a chat with OH who said to wait until "wibble week" and see where we get to.

God help it if I am pg, I have eaten nothing but rubbish and drinking over xmas (haven't had any alcohol since Saturday though but the bad food has continued!). Diet definitely starts next week!

I can't make myself diet till I know if I'm pregnant or not. I just keep thinking, "this could be my last chance to eat deli meats for 9 months" or sushi or tuna or have a glass of wine....ruins the diet every time.

My downfall is cheese! I love soft cheese and keep thinking the same thing - this could be my last chance for stilton/camembert/[insert other soft cheese here].

I need to go back to the gym and start losing weight again too hence why I want to start the diet soon, although it has been put back another week because of the junk food in the house!

Oh lots to catch up on!

Congrats ladyflump hope you are ok.

Can I join the cave, I will bring boxes of Malteasers and tubes of pringles. Can we also have a pet unicorn baby for the cave??

I am feeling very naseous and boobs hurt. Constantly yawning my head off and I too Frog am very windy!

Still 5 days away from ERTD but bought some cheapie boots tests today. Wanted a FRER so I could test early but they didn't have any. Might try and test anyway when DH is out tonight even though I know it will be a bfn

I'm going to drown myself in hot chocolate. I've just made a big decision. If I'm not preggers this month I'm hopping of the TTC wagon for a while. DP is a self employed contractor and work's dried up so we need to concentrate on trawling the (sparse) job market for a while. Feel very sad. DP has of course taken it as a personal insult that not only can't he "give" me a baby but he can't "provide" either. Men!!

Omg..I just remembered I am 41 and not 42!!!! I know....but make me feel better for the following reason:
One of my personal questions regarding ttc and pg was the long gap with my dc.... But finally dh came around last night agreeing that we should go for 2 babies not one!
I know crazy right???
I am still trying for a pg that sticks!!! Let alone two....well just wanted to share....
Keep telling myself that since March 12, I was pregnant once and if I take away that pregnancy ( 3 months) , my chemical pregnancy ,as well as my not ttc time 1 month and dh surgery recovery( forever or better 2 months) is wasn't so hard was it??? 6 months out of ten we were not in the game.....
Just really need a baby that sticks and a tiny gap and another one....
Crazy optimistic woman here!!!
Agnus castus is doing wonder for my pmt acne!!!
Love to all

Hello all!

Woohoo congrats LadyFlumps

Welcome Choco happy shagging!

Sorry to Rock, here's hoping for next month... but do note I tested BFN when I thought ERTD was due, then BFP two days later, so it ain't over and all that...

Hey Horse / Gary I will come over to grads a bit if you don't mind me mentalling

I am having my first scan tomorrow (private healthcare seems to mean loads of scans) - will be too early for heartbeat but just hope there's something there surely the 6 tests I have now done can't be wrong

Notso loving your DH's change of heart - go for it!

Come on for the record-breaking thread 13! How many more BFPs can we get?!

Forgot to add Andie poor you, tough decision, but I found it good to put a date on it - we were going to stop in May if no luck before then.

Though I must emit a childish giggle at the thought of you both trying to look for jobs but getting all distracted by shagging instead

Rock - I'm so sorry. It's horrible when you're convinced it's your month and then it doesn't happen.

Crackerjack - I think my DH wouldn't know unless my boobs got drastically bigger. They like to think they're the experts on boobs though, don't they? Bless 'em.

I keep doing that with the diet and just ate a whole load of crisps. They're meant to be for friends coming over this evening. I really need to learn more self-restraint. I was doing so well before Christmas too. I actually lost wieght over Christmas from rushing around but am steadily putting it back on again now! Hmph.

Sorry for your decision Andie. It's hard when the decision has to be made for practical reasons rather than emotional ones. Hopefully work will pick up and you can start again soon. OR you might get your BFP this month!!! Crossing all for you.

Glad you have managed to convince DH Notso - two babies?! You must have some sway with your DH. I want three sigh but just getting one seems to be enough of a problem. Blub My DH only wants two but if I can finally manage to get this whole pregnancy thing off the ground then I've decided it'll be three.

hello , bit of a mumsnet virgin but thought I'd try this thread out as ttc is one thing I can't talk to anyone but dh about, friends and family will just keep asking and don't want the pressure! We are going to start trying this weekend and am obsessing a little, doing far too much web research on my day off!

All my friends got pregnant easily (scared i will be the one that doesnt) have babies and have all told me far too much detail about childbirth over the last two years I am petrified and have been put off, but thought I should start trying as I would love to have kids, it's the process to get there that scares me! I hope joining a couple of threads like this will help me stay sane, any tips welcome! !

Ps - Also founds out that my private healthcare doesn't cover anything but "childbirth complications" and local hospital has mixed feedback, does anyone know of a policy that covers you from the start of pregnancy? Hooya you mention you have one?

Congrats LadyFlumpalot!

Sorry Rockchick. I think with Kittens bfp you've got the shite title of longest serving JS-er, so I really hope you either get one later this week, or next month at a push x
What a tough decision to make Andie, hope it all works out for you (and you get a bfp this month).

Come to the unicorn side Hooya!! Good luck at your scan tomorrow.
Most of them on the grads thread are ready to pop. Depressed that I'd been on this bit long enough to have a baby!

all around.

Oh my goodness! Just gace myself a heart attack!

Was terribly bored at work and was playing around with my Pink Pad app. I discovered that it actually bases itself on what it thinks the average for women should but you can change the settings to be based on the data you have inputed. I changed the settings and now my fertile days and af days have changed! Now instead of being due in 5 days my af is due tomorrow! Also was jsing on the "wrong" days. Might just have caught ovulation though! Now I think I am defo going to test tonight!
