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!

Can I join please? Also ill informed and shag when app tells me.

DD is 14 months - 3rd month of TTC here so early days. AF due Thursday.

Bear - feeling your pain :-(

Totes - love your comment about DS going apeshit in handle section. So taking DD at the weekend - beats disease ridden local soft play! DD also has heavy cold.

I'm sat eating a wispa praying DD sleeps & secretly pleased hubs & I don't have to shag later :-)

Welcome mrsRV, eat some choc for me, I'm on me jollies in 4 weeks so not having any till I'm there. Sob!
garbuseysteeth I've seen you around and have to say yours is my favourite IH ever!
As you were.

bear hugs xxx hope you are ok love. Stupid pee sticks! Still not over yet though.. Will keep FX.
Hi everyone else nice to see some newbies.
Xxx

coffeewineandchocolate I'm lost too (luteal phase??) and don't even have an app

Ooh, what are soy isoflavines and where can I get them?

You can get fertility phone apps??

Luteal a phase is the bit between ovulation and ERTD. Should be around 14 days but if shorter than 12 it can mean that if you fertilise an egg, it doesn't have time to implant before ERTD sets in..ie your body sheds your lining too early, so you can't get upduffed.

Before DS my LP was 12 dAys, shortest 10. I have lost two days somewhere. I think I need a Tardis!!

I use an app called my days. it colour coordinates everything and you can input when ertd comes, when you js etc

Hello all [smiles]

Oh dear

Hello again. Thanks everyone for the good wishes and support. You're all so lovely.

Quick update. Well, confusion reigns still in the Bear cave. So thought Ertd was here as (sorry if tmi) wiped and there was a bit of pink mucus. Thus far it hasn't arrived to grace me with its presence. So I did the clear blue test I bought and got a bfn again. Still a bit confused but think Ertd is imminent. So it's just been a very confusing day for me.

Thanks for the wise words Gary. Really nice to hear from you. When are you due?

Also, Rock you're right about me being glad the referral is coming up.

Thanks everyone else for cheering me on but maybe we should put the Pom poms away for a while until the next Poas action

Have busied myself with getting a new heart rate monitor app and measuring my resting heart rate. I got 'excellent' for my age. (It's the small things . . . )

Must catch some zzzzz now. Au revoir shaggers.

Oh and hello Cookie

I am still holding out hope bear - you so deserve it. If not now then soon.

I have had the worst time this month - without going to TMI on you all, just a lot of pain and a lot of nastiness. I am ready to get back to shaggin'.

Ladies - the apps are shit unless you have a pretty regular cycle, at least that is the case with the ones I have looked at. I can pretty much tell now from pant snot when I ov but I have cheated and confirmed with an opk (don't kick me out! I mostly follow rules!). After a year I just need some reassurance that the plumbing is working!

redshoes- I'm a bit skeptical about them too but it seems I'm now bang on with my 28 days... I seem to be mucusy around the time it says but I plan to track it better next month.

ertd seems to be imminent as I have cramps :-(

Bear you may still be Avec Bebe. My implantation bleeding was pink mucas and the bleeding can take a week or so to show which is why it happens around period time and people mistake it. It happened a day or two early for me. A pregnancy test might not work yet. Are you doing first wee of the morn?

I'm not even asking permission, I am joining this thread!

TTC #1, 8 months trying last year, then paused to plan wedding, now on second month of getting back to it at going au natural without sticks but lots of shagging! Can't promise not to symptom spot though, I am a nightmare. But I can promise not to tell you!

Oh, and I pee in a promotional highlighter container!

Welcome Dulcet! There's plenty of room in here! Congratulations on your wedding too!

Guys, I may go contraband next month and pee on a stick to test my theory regarding timing of the progesterone tests. I apologise in advance!

And, I have made an appointment with a private gyno, recommended to me by a nurse who does believe in Luteal phase defects.

Sorry, had to abandon that message half way through as DS was getting too close to one to the radiator dials!

So, the appointment will cost an arm and a leg but at least I will get a second opinion and I can ask him lots of questions too. I will report back with everything I learn.

Hi newbies!

Bear, how flipping annoying and confusing. I'm still keeping everything crossed for you though til ERTD shows, or doesn't.... stupid confusing pee sticks.

totes that sounds like a good idea, I'll be v interested to hear what you learn! I'm learning tons on this thread every day like just how ill informed I am about my own body.

We now have the new router at home, so connection to the outside world is imminent! We just need to read the instructions to make it work cos I tried just plugging it in and that wasn't enough!

Hi and hugs to everyone else cos I gotta dash - sorry.

ERTD due tomorrow. Booo. Not going to bother wasting my last remaining pee stick. I'm saving it for a special occasion.

Essie order a huge bag of pee sticks - I bought something stupid like 50 from amazon, the day they arrived I tested and got my BFP Although they are going to get used now anyway so wasn't a total loss.

eRTD just arrived, right on cue, 8 days post OV pain. At least it's predictable!!

Still nothing on the Ertd front...

We're away for the weekend now so I ached loads of tampons trying to test fate!

Packed not ached! (Although there'll be that too I'm sure! )

Sorry meant to say I'm in the car so can't post a long message or I'll feel sick! I'll reply to everyone later. Bye!

Totes, you can get Soy in Tesco (always on their 3 for 2)..think there's 30tabs per box so it's one per cycle, you take them for 5 days at the start of your cycle, increasing the dosage each day.
They made me feel sick so I took them just before bed;
Soyfordummies is a great link on babycentre, ignore the warning about it being for long cycles only, short phase counts as a defect (yay us!).

Whilst we're on the subject of contraband on JS fred, Fertilityfriend.com (free for your first 30(?)days, after that you can still use the tracker but not the forums/advanced membership stuff) has a great cycle tracker....but you didn't hear it from me!

Hope you have a lovely weekend away Bear, and you manage to find ways to get your heartrate up

Dulcet, a promotional highlighter container you say?!

Minion, thank you very much!

I'd also recommend bulk buying the pee sticks OPKs, I ordered a 30 pack of OPKs & then got my (mc) bfp.
In order to get my post-mc BFP, we booked a non-refundable family holiday for mid-Sept this year....I'm due 10th August!

bear hope you have a nice weekend away and are going somewhere nice.

rock like your idea of buying a massive bundle to get fate involved, might also go for gary's plan of really temping fate and organise a sky dive or trip into space or something for some time in Feb next year.

totes sorry she got you, I'll be joining you imminently I think judging by bloated cruddy feeling and multitude of spots.

Bon weekend shaggers!
