We laugh in the face of OPKS and stomp on our thermometers! Don your customised shag capes, ladies; it's Just Shagging Thread 15

Ladies, Fred title says it all; we are the ones who shag as much as our men can cope with in order to get upduffed without the stress of scientific whatnots!

Fred rules (copied from previous Fred)

  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 OPKs or temp charting. They are Contraband.

Yay coffee! I was starting to question myself and wondering if I ought to get an app and learn a bit more about cycles. But I know myself and if I got 'into' it, I'd end up obsessed! Far better for my (and DH's) happiness to JS!

lil1ady · 26/05/2013 12:58

Coffee and ice I have enough obsession here to go around all if us. I'm going to list my symptom spitting so you can tell me to stop being crazy

feel a bit queasy. in actually sat at work atm trying to catch up in the peace and quiet and even getting into my work isn't shaking the focus from this nausea in the pit if NY stomach. its not severe, just like I ate a brick, but also like hunger.

I have had pins and needles in my face and legs today.

hot flushed cheeks last night

my nipples have stung a tiny bit to touch since ov but that's gone now

I've had loads if creamy cm since ov. it normally goes back to sticky or nothing. sorry for tmi

I can't stop farting! Blush and it don't smell pretty. not normal for me.

I know I'm mist likely setting myself up for disappointment and i'Lol regret this post next week when I have to tell u all ertd has shown up but right now I keep thinking maybe, just maybe I could be?!

Help! I may end up testing and 9dpo is too early. please keep me sane!

and cookie agreed on greys. she is a total cow. I am in live with Avery. and him and April are so cute!

DulcetMoans · 26/05/2013 17:24

When you due to test lil? Maybe we can help you get there!

JS is the best option if you can. Still want the period tracker app though, for logistical purposes if nothing else! Planning holidays for example!

lil1ady · 26/05/2013 18:40

Thanks dulcet some time between Friday and Sunday.... if I can wait that long. I was really god last cycle. I didn't even test when I thought ertd might be late but for some reason I've become a loon!

I could live without an app to track my cycle otherwise i'd forget when I was due. it was easy with a pill packet by the bed!

lil1ady · 26/05/2013 18:42

Good, not God! if I was God I wouldn't need to poas!

Totesamazeballs · 26/05/2013 19:05

Hi all,
long time no post. I have been organising a hen do, going on a hen do and then at the wedding last week. It was all lovely but I worked out I was up for 24 hours yesterday. I am totally shattered today (we got back from the reception at midnight to find DS awake and he didn't go down until 3am!?) I don't know why. It might be because I was away for the night and then barely saw him for the next day etc. It was a bit weird for both of us to spend that time apart.

Anyway, on the dairy conflab front, I have given up dairy for cancer reasons rather than any other but perhaps it will help with progesterone?

B6 did diddly squat for lengthening my LP.

Sorry for all of those who have had ERTD visit them this month. Let's get some pizazzy new shag capes for June.

I have consultant appointment on Tuesday...will report back if I learn anything new!

Ooh, and I spoke to the GP after two consecutive months of progesterone being too low to show ovulation (but it was taken at 1dpo rather than 7 because the docs don't believe in 8 day literal phases)...anyway, GP has actually asked me to do OPKs for 3 months before coming back does this mean you will ban me from this fred?

Totesamazeballs · 26/05/2013 19:06

ooh, sorry, that sounds like I have cancer. I don't. My mum did, and a few relatives so I am paranoid about it.

cookielove · 26/05/2013 19:37

That did sound like you had cancer, glad you don't Smile

totes you been busy, i was like that last year, 2013 has been the year of relaxation for me, well at least in my social life. Works another story [grrrr]

lil i think you can wait it out, inside my head i am screaming at you to POAS though.

Oh my hair smells rank cause i henna dyed it Sad

DulcetMoans · 26/05/2013 19:52

Ok lil I'm due Friday too so we can wait together! Anyone else?!

Henna does stink, doesn't it cookie! Hopefully dies down before you have to go anywhere.

frazzles79 · 26/05/2013 21:03

hello, can I join in?

Name: frazzle
Any DCs?: Nope.
TTC since: Aug 2011, molar pregnancy Jan 2012, all clear Nov 2012, ttc again since Feb 2013...nothing doing so far.

It's a pretty lonely place for me as I lost a year with the CMP and my friends are all on to 2nd and 3rd babies. currently CD4 so will be donning my cape soon!

cookielove · 26/05/2013 21:41

Hello frazzle

Tis lovely here, they are lots and lots of neeewbies on this thread although i am not one of them Sad although saying that i always feel like a newbie cause i ask loads of questions about stuff i really should know by now Blush

A leetle bit of a ramble there, can you tell i am home alone and bored Grin

frazzles79 · 27/05/2013 11:56

hey cookie thanks for the welcome. I would usually be home bored in the evening but went to see Star Trek. Still got a headache!
I feel in a bit of a weird position as I'm proper TTC now but I've probably thought about it everyday since Aug '11 so it feels longer...there always seems to be something else to try or figure out.

IceNoSlice · 27/05/2013 13:15

Welcome frazzles, I'm a newbie too Smile

So, are we all spending BHM with OTH DTD then? Me, not so much. Trying to paint and filler whilst entertaining DS (9mo). Maybe later! It is my birthday after all!

IceNoSlice · 27/05/2013 13:16

Err OTH = OH. Too many acronyms Confused

AQuarkTooFar · 27/05/2013 13:44

Welcome frazzles and happy birthday to you Ice! Hope you are enjoying the decorating!

lillady those sound like some interesting symptoms!

ERTD due here tomorrow. Don't think I am pg so not holding out much hope.

Jealous to any of you with the day off the bhm. I am at work, half asleep because of a very long action packed weekend!

Minion · 27/05/2013 14:55

Hello folks!
Welcome frazzles, settle down with a biccy and brew and join in, there's plenty of synchro peeing into a handy receptacle here!

Had a lush bhw will in laws, went to the beach, got burnt, had a local delicacy and slept right nice! Bliss, oh and I got to hang out with my 8 month old nephew, he's completely brilliant and just the tonic to make me even broodier!

In other news, ERTD is estimated to arrive either tomorrow or day after, assuming I ovd on time, however me experiencing the pork pie jelly a week after doesn't fill me with glee. But I'm not having pre AF cramps/back ache or spots yet so fingers crossed. I am however having a very sore nipple day. The worst I've ever felt. Literally like tiny devil people were prodding pitchforks into it.. Ouch!

Hope everyone's bhw were mint and speak soon whereas no doubt I'll be obsessing am I? Aren't I? Am I? Aren't I?
Gah, x

frazzles79 · 27/05/2013 17:18

Minion do you need me to issue my first hooya? From where I am it sounds promising though!

Bit of a tough day as there's a piece about molar pregnancy in the newspaper and it feels like everywhere I look people are asking me if I've seen it...yes, don't really wish to be reminded about it all! But it's a good piece. Possibly better if I get off the computer and do something constructive. Not been feeling too great due to ongoing problems (getting sorted out) and AF but hope you're all been JS'ing away. :)

lil1ady · 27/05/2013 18:11

Hi everyone, and welcome Frazzles

dulcet its a good job I don't keep a stock of pee sticks! that should help the wait!

minion we can obsess together if you like?

quark I'm sure I've imagined most all of them which is probably why they r interesting. dont go counting yourself out yet lady...its not over til its over.

ice happy birthday! why in earth r u painting in Ur birthday.

well I have tried to stem the symptom spotting by keeping busy today. went for a walk then lunch with dh, then studied and then did some scrapbooking. about to have dinner then onto the ironing. the sooner I'm asleep to not symptom spot the better! although when I wake up it will be Tuesday and I think work is going to be crap this week Sad

IceNoSlice · 27/05/2013 18:32

Thanks Quark and lil1ady.

Painting because we have a deadline- we were lucky enough to be picked for the MN B&Q product test B&Q thingy, where we were given £325 B&Q vouchers (whoop!) but had 2 weeks to finish the job! Nearly there now and nice new bedroom to JS in Wink

So shaggers, after a nice relaxing BH, get on with it and get shagging Smile

Minion · 27/05/2013 18:58

Frazzles
I'd be honoured to be the recipient of your first ever Hoya.
Please send it first class so I'm put out of my misery though x

Bearface · 28/05/2013 00:35

Ello all!

Welcome Frazzles! Hooya-ing already? Well done you! Keep everyone in line especially me

Well, Lil and Minion,it all sounds promising for you. I really hope it's this time for you both.

Hope everyone else is well. Sorry you had to work BH Quark. Oh well. It'll be the weekend again soon enough .

I have been on my travels again doing DIY for family in far flung parts of the country. DH and I got home yesterday pm and have been shattered all day today. Managed to shag yesterday and today though. Grin Thanks all for the recommendations for the app. I went with FF. It's more just so I can keep a record for myself if I need it when we go to see the specialist.

Bizarrely my period has not been as long this cycle. I seem to have missed about 4 days. ( I have epically long periods - usually 11 days.) I'm still spotting a small amount though. Confused

In other news I have been doing a mad exercise DVD for the past 2 weeks and although I've only lost a couple of pounds in weight, I have lost 2" on my waist, hips and chest each! I'm going to keep doing it for sure now.

Oh and our referral appointment has now been shifted back another 3 weeks for the second time. (exasperated emoticon)

Hope you all have a good week. I'm off this week so will be around a bit more to have a cuppa and a chat. Yay!

IceNoSlice · 28/05/2013 07:08

Hey bear, annoying about the appointment!

Which DVD? I'm doing the 30 day shred but need something to move onto next Smile

AQuarkTooFar · 28/05/2013 07:47

Well done bear on the two inches!

ERTD due here today but still no signs. If it doesn't appear I will be testing thurs as I have a day off work. Anyone else testing soon?

Rockchick1984 · 28/05/2013 08:23

Quark I'm down to my last pee stick so will test on Friday or Saturday - think ERTD due Fri but I know my cycle may be messed up by the miscarriage. I don't feel pregnant though, so think I may be wishing!

Lil that sounds hopeful - the farting in particular rings a bell for me Blush - when are you testing? I think you should test tomorrow with FMU

Good luck at the consultant Totes

Bear that's fantastic about your weight/inch loss! I lost nearly a stone but have put it on and then some over the last few months, so think its a return to slimming world for me - never had to watch what I ate before having DS but he screwed up my metabolism entirely :)

Welcome Frazzle

Well my BH was spent doing uni work but have now almost finished until October Grin so will soon be able to relax a little. I feel like we've hardly DTD this month so think I'm out but still have that niggling 'maybe' in the back of my mind!

EssieSaysRelax · 28/05/2013 09:07

Hi everyone!

Not got much to report, but just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very good morning.

Welcome to frazzle.

Fxd for everyone testing this week.

ERTD has left the building now and we are going on a beach hol next weekend for a week, so will be donning my new itsy bitsy teeny weeny June cape from tonight.

Love to all xxx
