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

[Bearface]

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.

Happy shagging shaggers!

Have you tested at all minion?

Hi everyone. thanks for all the and

I spent yesterday feeling very sorry for myself but it did prompt me to talk to dh about how I don't think he's doing enough food/exercise wise to help the cause and how that makes me feel quite alone in all this at times. We then headed out to Tesco and came back with a car full of organic fruit, veg and meats and are on a positive footing to start this cycle. I'm also pretty sure literal phase is 14 days now after 3 "normal" cycles of tracking so trying to take some positive from that too.

Minion have you tested? I need someone's cycle to end in s bfp now mines not!

Quark sorry for the bfn, do you know when you ovulated?

Ice glad decorating is nearly done. Dh has said when he finished his current contract he's going to have some time off to finish all our decorating, except the spare room which will be done once there is a bfp!

As for holidays I'm thinking I need to book one for later in the year. its our 2nd anniversary in sept so thinking a city break. I'd love to go to NYC but its a but far for a shirt break so maybe Paris. Red your anniversary plans sound lovely. I'd love to go to California but its so far and expensive. hmm think I need to get online and shoo around for something

Well off to do the chores before going out to my aunty's for a BBQ lunch. lovely

Not tested. Husband doesn't want to get hopes up so I'm putting off doing it till around the 7th when I'll prob have come on due to OV'ing late I reckon.
Element of doubts creeping in, but I 80% believe I'm just having a late cycle.
Paris is fab! Rome is wonderful too x

Wow Minion you have great will power, you need to send some my way

Went to Thorpe Park yesterday, Dh mocked me for putting on Suncream and oh he is regretting it now (although such a cute red face he has)

Thorpe Park rocks, wow i love it we went with someone who had never been on a roller coaster before (crazy).

Quark and Minion my work colleague who is pregnant it took her 2 weeks to get her BFP, theres still hope

Back from my slight pit of despair Don't think we can manage every other day!

There are some strong willed people on this thread. If I'm a day over I will test! Given a chance anyway! You all seem to tell the DPs as well, I don't. Think I want to surprise him!

You've all been on such fab holidays too. I'm off to Canada in Aug, first time out of the country in over 10 yrs!!

That missed a bit of my message. Said back from pit, thankfully short ERTD, means we can get back on it quicker. Just deciding strategy, dont think we can manage every other day!!

hi all! sorry to hear about ertd's turning up and bfns :-(. sorry I've not postn a while- been lurking a little but mainly trying not to symptom spot and just enjoy time with dh and ds.

having a lazy day today with bbq this evening hopefully! this weather def helps out everyonein the mood esp the couple next door who forgot their bedroom window was open last night :-)

Nice work getting DH on the healthy wagon, lil!

Dulcet every other day is hard! I have a friend who is constantly pregnant, and she said that for her first two kids, they basically just shagged every day. EVERY SINGLE DAY for an entire month! Mind you, she works full time as a nurse and has a busy full life. How is this humanly possible? I'm lucky I get a few runs in during prime time.

coffee - hello! That is all I certainly do my share of lurking during the week, too. 5 days post ov and being calm and patient....

Haha no willpower here. As I said I don't think I am pg but the boobs are getting more sore, the cramps have stopped and I'm knackered so I bought a cheapo from savers drugs and guess what?
Negative haha, yes I caved.
I did it to stop the doubt and using the law of sod that if I did a test I would come on within the next 12 hours. I really need it to appear, I don't want to be on, on my jollies.
Onwards :)

There's no chance of enjoyment of TTC at that rate red, surely! We tried every other day for a month but were so tired! We manage twice a week usually but have to do something more.

Sorry about the BFN minion. I'd still be tempted with FMU though, haha. Am a nightmare. Hope she comes soon if she's coming, put you out of your misery!

Sorry for the negative test. This TTC buisiness can be like a cruel game when your body plays tricks.

Red, the shagging every day did work for us first time! It was for about 9 days solid during OV time!

I am out this month, done it once and CD16 and using OPKs as per GPs orders and still no happy face. Its not looking good...loads of EWCM though so hopeful that I have eggs but just overcooking them. Gyno said they can give you an injection to make you release the egg...thing is, I assume I will have to go for one every month which could be bloomin expensive!

Ach well, no point worrying myself silly about it. Nowt I can do!

Not to worry gals, mr blossom hill in the fridge has booked me in for a therapy sesh so we are currently working through our problems, he doesn't say much but hes sorting out problems pronto!
An injection every month.. Eeek, brave, brave, brave

Nah I seriously think I ovd late due to that minging jelly thing and as I was in cancun without husband it was never going to happen. June is our 5th wedding anniversary so that's a good omen natch!

ERTD has left the building so we DTD yesterday morning and I think we'll start attempting every other day for the month and see if it works.

I think we stopped too early last month, shagged every day through my fertile window and on day of ovulation but nothing afterwards and I think I may have ovulated a little late so this time we'll attempt every other day until CD 20. Just need to work myself up for doing it that much - thankfully lazy morning shagging seems to be the way forward

New bedroom duly Christened

I'm loving my mental image of special holiday shag capes. Do they have corn blue and white stripes like a deck chair, bright red and pink Hawaiian shirt style? I'm going for an itsy bitsy yellow polka dot one...

I'm starting to pack a little and my eyes have fallen upon my newest shag cape spectacular!
It's red and white polka dots with a terry towelling interior, so it doubles up as both bikini and towel.
With airlines giving such crap luggage allowance these days one has to pack smart!
Also I've still not come on, cramps have stopped, boob pain is lessening and I'm getting a little (tmi) windy so she's on her way.
Hopefully she won't repay my tardiness at getting her room ready with an overdue and painful stay.

How are we all doing this fine day?

Ice good to hear your new bedroom is finished! When I was wee I owned the yellow polka dot bikini song on a record. I used to put it on and dance around the living room!

Minion I defo like the sound of a multi purpose shag cape! We could add a pouch for wine too?

Still no ERTD for me. Now 6 days late. Don't use contraband but going by pant snot I would say I ov'd around CD19/20. I had pink/bloody coloured mucus on CD28. I usually have cycles of 34 days. so this is CD40. Was hoping the pink mucus was implantation?? Think I might get some first response on the way home because I have been using clear blue. I am not as good as some of you yet who have ordered cheapos online! Symptom wise - tmi alert!: I am v windy from both ends almost constantly, boobs ache on and off and some times have the odd cramp but nothing like ERTD on route. Quite tired too but that could be hayfever on set.

Sorry for boring you with all this but I just hate being in suspense.

I am off to update my old re polka cape with glitter and diamonds cause I need distraction! should maybe try working, which is what I should be doing right now!

Ooooh Quark that sounds really promising - fuck working, I'd be off getting those first responses pronto!
I've only ever used the ept sticks and didn't realise there was much in the sensitivity between any of them. I just wanted one that said 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' - I need simple things!

Fingers crossed for you!

Sounds good quark, defo get a first response but try wait until morning or you still won't be sure. That's what happens to me anyway!

Fingers crossed for you Quark

[[

Hello all, quark sounds good!!

Been opking for the last few days and had 5 faint positives for ovulating. Thats to many right?

Hi all,
I'm going to delurk and say hey!

Name: Nessa
Any DCs?: No.
TTC since: April 2013 - just a beginner!

Got married at the end of March & started TTC on honeymoon, half expecting to fall instantly preggo, but no such luck in the first couple of months! Been driving my DH up the wall with speculation & symptom spotting during the two week zone of evil, so thrilled to find a forum where others are being just as mental as me going through the same thing!

Currently on CD12 and been trying to DTD every other day since AF finished! See how long it takes before we're shagged out...

Aaaanyway, mainly delurked because I'm excited for Quark! Pink stuff that didn't turn into ERTD plus 6 days over has to be good signs! Fingers and toes crossed for you

I've got everything crossed for you too, Quark! I could use some good news! Not that anything here is particularly shitty but...this fred needs a BFP. No, a COMPLETELY OBESE positive. COP! (Yes, this is the result of one beer. In five more minutes, I will do a trick called passing out on the couch like a 90 year old.)

Welcome, nessalina! Glad you have delurked.

Cookie - I think some people have a slow build up of the luteinizing hormone, so you may see some faint signs for a few days. I would think a strong positive is "the" big surge. When I do cheat and use OPKs, I use the digitals. I need simplicity, like stroke said.

totes hang in there. The first month I did those stupid tests, the bastard smiley didn't show up until Day 18. Another month, Day 23! I thought for certain I was broken. Pant snot is a good sign something is going right, I'd think.

Morning folks!
Went to bed last night not being able to sleep on front, really tender feeling and this morning about 2 am I had to get up with really sharp pains, not the pains I'd been having before, prepared myself and yep, she's arrived. She's checked into her room and I imagine currently settling herself down to repeats of Jeremy Kyle. So we are back to day 1 which means I can drink on holiday!
Weeheee

Aw Minion that's a real shame, but at least your body did what you were expecting it to and you can drink on holiday! Here's to this month!

Hello to Nessa I feel privileged that my crapy body that is not working properly brought you out of hiding! Good for you trying to dtd every other day! We still haven't managed that. Good luck personalising your shag cape!

Thanks to everyone for their support. No sign of ERTD yet, 7 days late now. Still very windy, tired, boobs are sore, nausea every now and then. Getting the odd cramp but never in the same place twice. Was bad and used a first response last night and got a BFN. Will wait a few days and try again with FMU.

Would be a tad annoyed (not really) if it has happened this month. it is DH's 30th in the middle of the month and we are going away for a few nights and then we are having a big party at the end of the month. Potentially not adult juice for me nothing to complain about really

Cookie I haven't used contraband so don't know. Are they not always positive if you are preggo?
