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.

Wotcha - another noob asking to join you lovely viroids (gotta love autocorrect).

We're doing the whole trying to get upduffed thing with no sciencey stuff (otherwise known as me not having a clue what my body is doing). Started sort of in April - life has kind of got in the way a bit but things have calmed down now. ERTD is due in about 10 days, and I'm going to call next cycle us properly starting.

Be prepared for lots of very stupid questions. I'm rubbish at being a girl.

lil1ady · 02/07/2013 18:56

Hi Kally

well no show from ertd as yet. but that could be me being wrong about my literal phase or just wishful thinking. ho hum!

commsgirl · 02/07/2013 19:35

Ohh fingers crossed for you lil. When are you going to test?

Hi kally Smile

DulcetMoans · 02/07/2013 19:48

Yeah, normally regular bear. 26-28 days. Think I'm out now though, which is a little disappointing. Why 6 days late?! There is no reason for it to happen.

Welcome kally, no stupid questions here. We all learnt somewhere! Mostly here...

ChocChaffinch · 02/07/2013 20:23

I think the stress of trying really affects the cycle

hello kally
I'm also crap at being a girl. always manage to fall over/cut myself, am something of a massive oaf.

cookielove · 02/07/2013 20:46

Af has left. Will give this month my best effort as I feel it's my last month before my break for my brother's wedding so will be doing it every other day.

bear tsk tsk your still not well have a cookie Grin

Andie glad your away from that life from now Smile

Hello newbies

lil1ady · 02/07/2013 21:54

thanks comms think I may poas in the morning if she doesn't sneak in overnight. I don't feel like she's coming yet though Confused

but I have to confess I haven't wanted to poas since last week. I guess I just don't believe its even possible so don't see the point poas when I just expect AF. I hope I'm wrong!

who else is due to test? feel like I've been at the end of the queue....

Rockchick1984 · 02/07/2013 22:00

Cookie do you have any idea when you ovulate? If you are using sneaky contraband have a google of the Sperm Meets Egg Plan - me and DH did that this month and got BFP so definitely worked for me! If not, keep going with every other day until way after you think you need to, just in case you ovulate late :)

cookielove · 02/07/2013 22:05

Nope not a clue! ! But I do have contraband for this month and will take a look at that tomorrow thanks rock

AndieDisestablishment · 03/07/2013 06:34

Comms Glad you're in a happier place now too.
Can't remember who asked and can't scroll, nobody called the police; I removed myself and my babies but if someone had called the police the night before when he was hammering in the door drunk I'd still be able to be a hand model.lol

Who was allowing themselves a week before testing? AF is due in 6 days for me but I'm going to attempt to bolster some willpower if she doesn't show on time.

Kally Welcome. There are no stupid questions here, we've all asked them at some point (seems we are rubbish at being girls too)

I'm trying to get the image of Bear desperately peeing on everything in sight out of my head.

kally195 · 03/07/2013 06:39

fanks for the lurverly welcomes Smile

lil fingers crossed for testing.

choc Ah - a fellow oaf. I am currently sporting a two inch long burn down my wrist, courtesy of a lovely boiling oil bath I gave myself whilst making dinner last night. So attractive.

dulcet glad to hear that. I may yet astound you with my general ineptness.

bear hope the banging stopped. I can sympathise - the building at the end of our garden is being knocked down e v e r s o s l o w l y by men with sledgehammers (it now feels weird when everything stops vibrating). They do things a bit differently here.

cookie woo to AF leaving. I also have no clue when I ovulate. I have one of those app thingys, but as I have a 34/5 day cycle I appear to have confused it.

can't be bothered to work - will shoe shop instead.

lil1ady · 03/07/2013 07:24

morning all. I'm out...and sulking about it Sad

kally195 · 03/07/2013 08:12

so sorry lil.

MrsBri · 03/07/2013 08:22

Hi all!

Just wanted to come along and announce the birth of Amy Alice, born on 23rd June and a result of just shagging :-)

I hope you all get your BFPs soon :-)

Dulcet, you said you OV'd late. That will have extended your cycle. How long is your luteal phase normally? The length of this won't change. So, if you OV 5 days late your period will arrive 5 days later than normal, as your luteal phase length won't change.

DulcetMoans · 03/07/2013 08:50

Oh congrats MrsBri! God, can't believe she is here already! What a short 9mnths, for me anyway! Lol. You might not agree.

I think my LP is about 10 days, that would have made it 11 from my estimates so maybe makes sense. Not that any of it makes sense to me any more!

Ill sulk with you lil.

EssieSaysRelax · 03/07/2013 08:56

Congrats MrsBri - yay for jsing actually working! Lovely news.

Sorry for the ERTD arriving lil.

Dulcet I oved several days day late last 2 cycles and then my ERTD was corresponding number of days late too, so literal phase deffo the same each time for me.

Bear hope you are a snot free zone now.

cd9 here, been a bit slow getting the cape back on cos we've both been sooo overworked this week so far, but hoping to get back on it tonight. We're at the outlaws this weekend but last itme DH seduced me and we shagged anyway even though it was a teensy bit weird, so he reckons this time there is no reason not to take the cape. I still think its gross, but I'm not letting them get in the way of our efforts! At least 92 old Gma won't be staying too this time!! That would just be taking it too far!

ChocChaffinch · 03/07/2013 09:11

LOL at Grannie knocking on the wall 'keep it down, shaggers'

we need to have more filthy sex talk* on this fred.

*that sounds waaaaaay wrong, it's too early. Apols,

ChocChaffinch · 03/07/2013 09:12

sorry she got you, lil Thanks

EssieSaysRelax · 03/07/2013 09:14

Haha choc, is it really ever too early since jsing should be done at any and all opportunities?

commsgirl · 03/07/2013 10:12

Congrats MsBri. Gorgeous name! Thanks

Sorry lil Wine

andie thanks. I'm not letting myself test for another week. Expecting some irregularity as I've recently come off the pill and I think I'd rather wait longer for ertd than see a bfn.

essie cookie good luck this month! Stick some extra sequins on your cape for some extra special JSing.

Hi everyone else!

AQuarkTooFar · 03/07/2013 11:40

Hi viroids sorry I haven't been around much, had a very busy couple of weeks.

Congrats MrsBri, gorgeous name! Hope you are both well!

I am not going to attempt to catch up on everyone else but hello to all the newbies an sorry to hear bout the ertds and congrats to all that got their BFPs! Hope everyone else is ok!

I am currently in the 2ww with 1 week to go, no chance this month really, we just are not having enough sex! I am a bad js'er really. Sad. Think I might need to give up this ttc for a while and sort the rest of my life out first!

Wow didn't mean to be so depressing! Think I better be off to the pity pool!

EssieSaysRelax · 03/07/2013 12:07

Hi quark, good to see you. The pity pool is always open for business, as we never know when someone will need it! I spend most on my time sitting on the side with my legs in just in case I need a dip!

Know what you mean though, I keep thinking I need to cram as much in now before bfp, but in reality I think I'm doing so much its probably going some way to preventing bfp from actually happening. Hmm

May have to try SMEP if no luck in next couple of cycles but afraid that will feel like a science experiment.

DulcetMoans · 03/07/2013 12:46

I might try SMEP this month, I read a tiny bit about it yesterday but will research it later and see. Obviously requires DP to actually manage it though!

Debating a trip to the docs too... not sure what to say though. I don't really go to the doctors and I'm not a big fan of mine. Any of you been to drs yet just to see what they say?

AQuarkTooFar · 03/07/2013 13:03

What is SMEP?

I was at docs recently about an unrelated subject and mentioned we had been ttc for 7 months. She said to talk to them about it in a year if nothing has changed. She wasn't very worried about it at all..

EssieSaysRelax · 03/07/2013 13:12

Sperm Meets Egg Plan....
