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.

Wow, Mexico how fun. I bet the weather is lovely although all this talk of nice weather and holidays reminds me to book my honeymoon Smile

lil1ady · 30/05/2013 21:58

this thread has moved soooo fast today u can't keep up. so I'm just going to say to everyone, mian about the fact I've already had my holiday so don't have one to look forward to and sylk at how annoying TTC is!

cookie...have you looked in the car? I always leave things on the back seat Grin

DulcetMoans · 30/05/2013 22:07

I'm out and sulking about it. What's wrong with me?! Why can't I make babies like everyone else?! Boooo!

Can't go through all the replies on my phone. Dont think it's even showing me everything. Hoping for some good news from someone tomorrow!

Bearfacedchic · 30/05/2013 23:35

Grand Cayman does look beautiful.

Minion - I meant to say sorry if it sounded like I was competing with you in the who has a harder time of it stakes. Blush Didn't mean to make it sound like that but realised it could be read like that. Sorry!

Cookie you need to retrace your steps and think about when was the last time you used it. I find if I stop thinking about something then I suddenly remember

Dulcet- I get the dooms about Ttc fairly regularly. I think it's more common than I ever thought. It's hard when your body won't do what it's naturally supposed to . A good rage or cry usually helps me.

Strokethefurrywall · 31/05/2013 05:22

Good luck Bear with those pee sticks! Keeping everything crossed for you! You'll have peed by the time I wake up so hope all goes well.

I've just come back from Fast & The Furious 6 - may I say, fucking awesome!! The person that decided to put The Rock and Vin Diesel in a movie together with Paul Walker and sexy as fuck cars is a genius. And the person that has decided to put The Rock, Vin Diesel and JASON STATHAM together in Fast & Furious 7 should get a medal.

Seriously, its like someone reached into my brain, saw what goes on in there and then made a movie about it. Three of the hottest baldies ever. On one screen. All I need now is Thom Evans to take his shirt off somewhere in the middle of it and I'll be set Grin

Minion · 31/05/2013 07:20

bear eh? I didn't even read anything out of the ordinary haha, no fear!

Day 3... No ERTD. Grumblings have dwindled. Nope, must have ovd late. Yes that's it.

Oh and Booo to already having holidays and not looking forward to any. I'm sure it's all me and hub live for nowadays. Hopefully the weather will get better here..
I mean, it can't get much worse. Right?

EssieSaysRelax · 31/05/2013 08:59

Haha stroke are you kidding! Jason Statham! Isn't he about 2ft tall in real life like Tom Cruise? Cars don't really do it for me (especially mine which has had a new clutch, 2x new tyres and a frigging exhaust this week!), I like epics like Lord of the Rings with horses and massive scenery and perhaps the odd James Bond film too.

Cookie have you found your filofax yet? I'll come and find it for you if you haven't my boss looses his on an almost daily basis and I have to track it down for him. I find it quite hillarious that he still has one as he also has an iphone and I end up copying stuff off his iphone into his filofax, because obviously I have nothing better to do! Have you tried looking under the passenger seat? I lose everything there.

Have a good road trip bear going anywhere nice?

Minion sorry to hear you are still waiting for a sign. V annoying. Have you poas recently?

Dulcet hugs. Sorry she got you.

lil I'm struggling to keep up too hence random jabberings.

I'm going on holiday on Sunday - did I mention that?!! Grin

Minion · 31/05/2013 09:37

essie nah, I'm assuming I ovd a week late, so ERTD will be a week later. If I haven't come on by about the 6th I test. Big ugly spot on chin indicates in probably right though.

Totesamazeballs · 31/05/2013 09:41

Hi all!

Cookie did you find your Filofax yet?

I ask the question 'what is wrong with me' every month and have a cry too. I even asked the gyno why I seem to be having issues post baby no 1 (second pregnancy overall) , as if he could offer some divine answer!

Oops, timer for bottles going...

AndieDisestablishment · 31/05/2013 17:03

Hey everyone, too much to catch up on. Did I miss anything big?
Training has been hard work this last few weeks. My antenatal shift was dull, I forgot how much of a cattle market antenatal clinic is! I did a shift on delivery suite yesterday and got to see a baby be born, I was running for instruments for the midwife and holding the lady's hand. It was the most amazing thing ever!!
Hope you're all well.
Bear Hope you're not peeing all over the car!
No holidays for me this year, I am an NHS trainee now so skint.lol
Hi to any newbies. Smile

Bearfacedchic · 31/05/2013 17:54

So did anyone Poas today? No peeing for me except in the loo en route to oop north. I'm currently sitting in the boot of our car waiting for GS to come back from cycling. Having a happy time just sitting in open boot in sunshine like a teenager though!

Bearfacedchic · 31/05/2013 17:56

Haven't heard from you in ages Andie. Glad you're enjoying your new job. :)

cookielove · 31/05/2013 18:43

Totes Bear Lil i found it almost 5 minutes after i posted that, it was in the car in the passenger pocket Hmm i kept thinking i've searched the flat, searched work, where have i not looked THE CAR, opened the passenger door and there was in the door!!

Oh yeah Andie is MIA, hope the new job is going well Grin

Bear glad your having a fab time, its nice to see the sun again isn't it Smile i'd forgotten what it felt like

Totesamazeballs · 31/05/2013 21:19

Hi Andie! Good to hear from you. Much respect for what you are doing. It can't be an easy job, nor training course.

Cookie - glad you found your Filofax. Smile

Bear enjoy your OV partee! I am POAS as per GPs advice, CD 15 and no smiley face yet. Reckon consultant is right tho, i am maturing an egg but not releasing it. At least that would be best case scenario anyway.

It was lovely to have some sun today. I had two babies over and they all played together in the garden, DS bottom shuffling through the flower beds, as happy as larry, and I went for a ride this evening as I am determined to exercise my other boy, of the four legged variety, once a week while the weather allows evening riding. Bit knackered now!

lil1ady · 01/06/2013 00:11

nothing finishes off a night out like ertd showing her ugly face

Strokethefurrywall · 01/06/2013 03:16

Oh no Lil I'm sorry to hear that, you poor thing - sending you Flowers and Wine - I wish there was a chocolate emoticon.

AF is just departing, was a little short this month, arrived 11pm on Monday night and was gone by yesterday. Usually I'm 5 straight days. This is most confusing when it comes to DTD so I've just told DH we have to do it every other night for the next month. Unsurprisingly he looked a little dubious. Either at his skill set or my dedication I'm not sure!

Chin up Lil, lots of shagging to be had... x

Minion · 01/06/2013 09:44

Oh lil I'm sorry thewitch rocked up.
I've just got Ian from a flight, checked in at 1 am this morning. To say I feel violated is a bit of an understatement.
Boobs killing me and still no sign of ERTD but I'm very sure I'm not pg as this happened a few months back. Went onto a 34 day cycle then she appeared. I'm on day 34 now, I know she's not coming yet as my boobs usually stop hurting the morning of her bitchin' arrival, and they are still so sore...
Anyways I'm off to get some kip, it's sunny here and am praying no sods start mowing the lawn x

AQuarkTooFar · 01/06/2013 13:12

Aw that's poo about ertd lil!

I am on cd 39 and no sign if ertd for me. Usually a 34 cycle or less. Been years since I took the pill so I have nothing affecting my cycle. Dh wants me to test again tomorrow but I think I want to hold out a bit longer. Getting bored of getting bfns.

You are all making me want to go on holiday! Sad don't think we are going to have time this year.

IceNoSlice · 01/06/2013 14:23

Flowers for lil

Hopefully we should finish our DIY today- and have a nice new bedroom to DTD in!

Redshoes56 · 01/06/2013 14:52

Hi ladies! I need to read backwards and catch up. Big Thanks bouquets to everyone dealing with nasty ERTD. bear eagerly awaiting news!

Redshoes56 · 01/06/2013 14:59

Quark I'm with DH - test again soon! Sounds promising....

I need a vacation really badly, too. This year is our fifth anniversary, so we debated going back to wine country in California where we honeymooned, though even more relaxing would be renting a house again down in the Outer Banks of North Carolina during the off season. In a few weeks I'm going to Newport, Rhode Island, for my friend's graduation from the naval academy (she's going to be a medical officer; pretty cool).

Grand Cayman is lovely - great water for snorkeling!

EssieSaysRelax · 01/06/2013 18:17

totes I've got one of those 4 legged friends too. Had fab ride in the sun today, makes the winter worthwhile doesnt it!

quark it does sound promising from here!

:-( to all the ertds turning up.

I'm trying to pack for hols and feeling a bit disorganised. cd 7 so packed my new holiday cape.

Strokethefurrywall · 01/06/2013 19:23

We just got back from NYC a couple of weeks back and I'm still unpacking but I'm heading up to Toronto at the end of July and back to Edinburgh and London in September to visit family.

I miss packing for holidays though, it's so exciting!!

Andie your job sounds wonderful, midwifery is such a great career - a friend of mine is a midwife and she loves her job. Says it doesn't feel like work when you love what you do (except for the paperwork!)

AQuarkTooFar · 01/06/2013 23:40

Caved - Another bfn. 5 days late. Sad

Hope you are all having lovely weekends!

Minion · 02/06/2013 06:18

quark. You and I are on the same cycle.
5 days over, too x
