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.

Still watching Fred :)

Fingers severely crossed for dulcet and redshoes :)...
And to lil1ady, when are you due on again? Glad you enjoy your spa weekend!

minion
My boobs 'ad gone massive and veiny before I got my bfp. Can be a sign of ertd yes, but usually if you get that every month. I get them going a but tender but never bigger, so boobs were a big sign for me.
also had cm which is not usual for me at that time of month too. Sounds promising :) Digits crossed for you also! Grin

P.s
Ahem...
what is corpus luteum?? Is it one of them things I should know? Blush

lil1ady · 30/06/2013 22:09

Thanks flo. ertd due here Tuesday but I'm impatient and a control freak so tempted to test tomorrow. I should wait until Wednesday really. Corpous lutem thingy is something to do with the egg releasing and regulates the progesterone after ovulation. something like that. if wggy implants cl is "rescued" to continue producing prog until placenta takes over. I think. not a technical response but gives u a starting point for Dr goofle!

hi min fx for u!

waves to everyone else. Grin

Mehrida · 30/06/2013 22:40

Aaargh have just had to call police on warring neighbours (again). Am now totally depressed.

We're saving up to move to a nicer area but I don't want to bring DS up next door to that.

Mind is going overtime doing sums to sewe if we could afford to move and is definitely not in the mood for rogering, even tho today is a very likely day for it.

:(

Mehrida · 30/06/2013 22:41

*see

Nessalina · 30/06/2013 23:07

Some good sounding symptoms Minion! Grin
Glad the spa was fab Flo, fx for soda law!!
I've just been freaked out by a spider appearing out of a gap in our washing basket and then creeping back inside!! Shock Horrible bloody thing! Had to make DH put the basket in the hall Blush I am such a weed.

Minion · 01/07/2013 05:26

Balls.
She arrived. Guess it was all just more different PMS stuff for me. Why is it different every bloody month?
It's so frustrating.

AndieDisestablishment · 01/07/2013 06:51

Minion Sorry she got you. :(

I'm due in roughly ten days but am massively bloated and windy already, can't deal with this for another week. NHS issue trousers are not made to accommodate bloaty women!

How is everyone on this slightly chilly Monday?

DulcetMoans · 01/07/2013 07:45

Still BFN here. I'm at the stage of willing ERTD on if she is coming. 5 days late, est. 10dpo, BFN. Come put me out of my misery!

Sorry minion, I think our bodies know we are watching so they play up.

commsgirl · 01/07/2013 09:28

Waves. Hope you don't mind me joining you?

I've been lurking meaning to say hi for a while! I'm in my second cycle of ttc number one after coming off the pill. Our plan is lots of dtd absolutely no contraband. Expecting my cycles to be a bit crazy and I'm totally out of sync with my PMS signs so trying to just be relaxed but it's hard when you just want it to happen right now!

EssieSaysRelax · 01/07/2013 11:37

Morning shaggers!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I got lots done at home and watched some glasto (how ancient did the stones look?!) and ate some curry. Oh and shagged of course. Got the cape back on now. CD6 and I'm going to be zen about it this time.

Saw a friend on Saturday with her 6 month old. Conceived via IVF after they'd tried for 3 years. Guess what, she is accidently upduff with DC2! she's shocked and happy and scared in equal amounts.

Minion sorry she got you. Really thought it was happening for you this time. :(

Mehrida sorry about the warring neighbours. How horrible. Did the police come and sort them out? We had that at our old place, I actually thought he'd killed her a couple of times - terrible to listen to isn't it.

Hi to comms! Welcome. Grin

Mehrida · 01/07/2013 12:46

The 'D'H had been locked out and was trying to bang the door down. He disappeared before the police arrived and fortunately didn't come back. Yet.

Today is a new day. Happy JSing everyone!

Bearfacedchic · 01/07/2013 17:23

Hello Comms! Welcome!

Mehrida- that's horrible for you. Hopefully he won't come back.

Minion-sorry about Ertd. Thanks

Essie- that's amazing for your friend. Also, I thought the Stones looked grossly underweight as a collective! Jagger's legs particularly made me feel queasy. I was quite shocked after some goofling that Sophie Dahl allegedly had a dalliance with the Jag at the tender age of 24. Shock eek!

Not much up to in Bearland. Cold is still hanging on, but I have tomorrow off- hurrah!

Hi to everyone else.

ChocChaffinch · 01/07/2013 19:43

Yo Viroids.

ERTD had an unexpected early lull Hmm so had a window to don cape Grin
deffo upping the cape wearing this month
enjoy yeselves, ye shaggers

ChocChaffinch · 01/07/2013 19:45

any further update Dulcet ?

DulcetMoans · 01/07/2013 20:08

Cape donned already, nice one choc!

No news here. No sign of ERTD and BFN this morning. Just twiddling my thumbs now!

Bearfacedchic · 01/07/2013 21:03

Ah bum Dulcet. Sad Although it ain't over til it's over.

Redshoes56 · 01/07/2013 22:31

mehrida bummer about the warring neighbors. I once lived downstairs from a young couple that oscillated between warring like beasts and drinking/smoking pot/carrying on out on their balcony til all hours of the night. Cops were there all the time. One night, I really did think he had killed her - there was SO much fighting and then, suddenly, silence. Shudder. Was glad when they moved out.

Sorry minion - have some Wine.

Welcome comms!

Mehrida · 01/07/2013 22:36

Redshoes that's similar. They're in their late fifties but sometimes have their dance music blaring! I actually thought they'd turned a corner when he joined the bowling club and started spending time there instead of the pub but obvs not.

Unfortunately they're council tenants so aren't going anywhere.

Crossing fingers for you dulcet, you never know...

lil1ady · 01/07/2013 23:05

hi all. and welcome comms

dulcet I have to ask 5days late but only 10dpo? if Ur only 10dpo you could have only just implanted so definitely still time for a bfp. but I've probably misunderstood something with my tired brain. fx though.

the witch is due here tomorrow. I only ever seem to get half hour warning of her arrival so couldn't say either way whether shell arrive. we shall just have to wait and see.

hope all the warring neighbours shut up and go to sleep tonight. I'm so glad I moved away from mine. the old guy next door to us here just sings when he goes to bed. of only lasts 5mins and its kinda funny so I'm very lucky! I once called the police because drunk men were fighting in the service lane behind our flat. I was so scared. dh wasn't much help. he had no idea what to do!

night viroids!

DulcetMoans · 02/07/2013 07:44

No, that's right lil. Well, it's all an estimate but I think I ov'd late so that makes me 11dpo but i am 6 days late today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed still but the sticks aren't really giving me anything.

Shame about all your annoying neighbours. We are lucky I guess, both neighbours are retired and well behaved. Although one is prone to loud DIY at 7am on a Sunday...!

AndieDisestablishment · 02/07/2013 08:57

On the subject of "warring neighbours".... Always call the police, I was in a women's refuge for three months after my ex tried to kill me (I have a beautiful big scar on my left hand from where I blocked the knife to my throat) 3 women die every week as a result of domestic violence. And as for council tenants, they have a clause in their contract that they can be evicted without notice for public order offences so report the loud music.

Anyway, after that massive downer......

How is everyone this morning? How many of us in that torturous 2ww?

commsgirl · 02/07/2013 09:19

Andie for similar reasons to you - completely agree. Calling the police can make the biggest difference to someone's life.

Fingers crossed for you dulcet

I've got a week until I'm letting myself test. Trying not to symptom spot but dp was making his lunch this morning and I was so overwhelmed with nausea from the smell of beetroot (which I normally like) that I had to go outside. Probably just an absolute coincidence though, I don't feel like this is our month.

EssieSaysRelax · 02/07/2013 09:22

Morning viroids.

Bloody hell Andie, you poor poor thing, thank goodness you got away. Did someone call the police when he attacked you? Did you see what happened to Nigella recently. Poor woman. God only knows what he does to her behind closed doors, she's left him now hasn't she? One of my best friends was being beaten up by her husband and I was the only one that believed her until we went to a wedding with a bunch of friends and he got smashed and did it in public. We had to look after her at our house for quite some time til the police took it seriously.

Bear sorry to hear you are still coldy, hope you can get rid of that soon. Yes, I thought the Stones all needed a good pie as well. Gross about Sophie Dahl!!!! Bleurgh!

Fx for everyone waiting for ERTD/BFP.
xx

Bearfacedchic · 02/07/2013 10:02

Hear, hear Andie. I know I've said to you before but glad you are okay and you too Comms. In my county, Essex, the police have been criticised by an independent watchdog for not taking domestic abuse seriously enough after several women died at the hands of partners despite police having previously being involved. It's so important to have it taken seriously.

Thanks Essie- I'm getting there. Still quite snotty and got today off which is good, but next door seem to be having a door put in where there's currently a window so lots of banging. Hmm

Gosh Dulcet- 6 days! Are you quite regular then? I don't know how you are holding back. I'd be peeking on anything that moves.

Had another meh moment last night when I caught up with some people we met a few years ago and the couple concerned weren't even married when we started Ttc but in 2 years they have got married and have a nearly one year old. Hmm It's lovely for them of course, but stil left me feeling meh.

Oh well. Banging has stopped but might start in other ways Wink

Bearfacedchic · 02/07/2013 10:45

Nope. It's started again.
