Come and join us on the brand new, rather fabulous, and very slightly notorious (or so we'd like to think!) JUST SHAGGING PART 19!!

[Nessalina]

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 with your fredmates where needed.

JSing lingo

ERTD = Evil Red Tide of Dooooooommmmmmm. Or AF to most others.

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!

Pant snot = Egg white cervical mucus.

Doing a kitten = Getting upduffed soon after joining (warning: may induce envy in other posters).

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.

Icing = ovulating. Another autocorrect development!

Getting your Cape on = planning some serious pouncing on DH/DP

TWOT - Two Weeks of Torture!

Happy shagging shaggers!

Hi viriods! sorry I can't name check everyone as I'm on my phone, hope everyone's ok.

I've had a rubbish couple of days so no jsing here. Car broke yesterday and I was stranded with 3yr old ds as my phone was out of battery. DP went to get the car today as I abandoned it and it's going to be upwards of £400 to fix plus £50 for the tow truck. . That needs to be paid out of the money I have been saving to pay for maternity leave, we also spent £1k of it recently on xmas presents and house repairs so Law of Sod do your best and get me up duffed me now that we're broke!

Any good news anyone? I'm off to drink wine and eat choc then maybe jump on dp when he gets in from work at 11:30 if I'm still awake.

There's always space on the wagon for you, cookie! Glad you finally got to speak with the midwife and you can get back to JS-ing. Hope it is not too long for you.

The good news here is that it is Friday! I am also off to eat choc and drink wine. My choir has its holiday concert on Sunday, so should be a festive weekend, we have a few friends coming and then visiting our place after. I finally got a wreath and can banish the pumpkins from the porch.

wagga sorry to hear about the car and the $ drop. But let's go, Sod!

Hi all! I'm baaaack! Been around but a bit AWOL. Life got busy and we haven't tried very much this month.

Appointment for clinic (following all tests for both of us) so, if we aren't preggers this month then we can speak to a real fertility expert next month! Feels good to have a plan.

Can't scroll back over a week of messages but I'm going to hope you are all having a good time. Did I miss any BFPs??

No! Not a single one.
Although Red has a couple of possibilities on ice! But we have to wait 2 months to find out if they'll get to BFP status - here's hoping!
My DH has finally got proper serious about TTC!! He just asked if we wanted to start trying before or after Xmas coz he was worried about me missing out on boozing! So I showed him my app () and when fertile days are (Xmas Eve!) and decided we're ok to go for it, but i should probably take it easy on New Years. And he know we need lotsa shagging next weekend! An actual whole conversation about it!! Lol, maybe this isn't unusual for other people, but up until now his contribution has mainly been to say 'ok, let's try for a baby', and that's all other than the sex obvs Well chuffed

Hey Dulcet, we're same as you, got appt, looking forward to speaking to an expert and finding out what the score is instead of just guessing and hoping

Good luck!

bfn....expected but still...

Friendly punch on the arm for you Rach. Drink some booze and have a cry if it helps. What I've been doing for a while!

Just been chatting to my mum about work and she suggested I quit! Let's see what 2014 brings eh?!

How's everyone's weekends going?

How's your doggy doing latium ? My wee boy is right back on form, phew! Baby-making day tomorrow is the plan as I'm round at a friends tonight, hooray!

By the by ladies.... If you don't want to turn into an emotional wreck don't watch 'what to expect when you're expecting' ... I have done twice in 48 hours (once alone and once with reluctant DH) and I'm all out of cry!

thanks juniper had a little cry and some wine. I wasn't expecting a bfp but as af is showing no sign of showing up I did wonder.

....waits impatiently for the bloody witch to turn up....

x

Aw rach sorry - maybe just too early?

AF rolled into town today. I am feeling pretty crampy and cranky (and was hungover this morning from two glasses of last night - sad). I spent a good deal of my Saturday in bed, which sounds like it could be nice, but I have so much to do around the house!

I was very excited for the holiday concert tomorrow but just found out one of our altos had a stroke and has been unconscious since Wednesday. She is such a nice person. This is so sad. Every year something horrible happens to the choir. Last year one of our sopranos was in a terrible car accident and lost her husband. And then our pianist committed suicide over holiday break. Sigh.

Sorry - didn't mean to bring us all down!

nessa it is wonderful that DH is fully engaged! Why does it take them so damn long? Even when we started the IVF process, he was still a bit wary of "big discussions" and such. I think he rounded the corner after the retrieval. Once we found out four had fertilized, he said that night very seriously that he felt "sad" that they were in the lab "all alone." And last night he started talking about baby names and wanting play Legos and all sorts of adorableness.

lynsey I don't know if I could sit through that!

Well hello AF! About bloody time you showed up! Bloody old witch

The positive is that I should be ov over new year when we're both on holiday whoop whoop x

lynsey your right it is a sad film

1974 bloody Af, at least you have a silver lining

red sorry to hear such sad news :(

dulcet lentil good luck with your appointments.

On my side of things dh and I dtd and I feel naughty like we broke the rules

I went to see 'What to Expect...' at the cinema on my own and blubbed A LOT!! Glutton for punishment or what?!

You go for it rebel Cookie!!

Aww Red that's so cute that your DH was worried about the lil' ones! It's great that he's getting excited, they're so crap at showing how they feel sometimes aren't they?! We were out for Christmas dinner at my BF's place yesterday (the one with the 18mth DS and twins on the way! ) and her little boy sat at the table to eat with us, and DH couldn't take his eyes off him! He's at the age where he chatters away very seriously but totally unintelligibly, and it is just the cutest thing It's just like - yeah, can we have one please?!

cookie damn right! pass the sherry and some pate and stinky cheese my way will ya

By my calculations ov will be just right for some serious cape on action between Christmas and New year. AF is a right pain though. Not moving off the sofa today.

Have a good day viroids. Sending positive thoughts to you all x

Well I'm in the throes of ERTD misery too Viroids. It showed up bang on time yesterday (something to be grateful for - a regular cycle?), which just happened to be DPs birthday.

Am I a horrible person that I was moody and snappy with him on his Birthday, because I was in full on PMS mode? I slightly irrationally blame him, because he refused to DTD at the crucial time this month because he was tired, so I told him that as a result, my AF would come on his birthday. He of course forgot I'd told him this and didn't work out why I was moody until I told him... men are so utterly unaware aren't they?

Plus, every month I get more and more certain that I have bowel Endometriosis - pooing blood clots today, which doesn't happen at any other time of the month. I'm waiting for bowel investgations when what I really want is to skip that bit and be referred straight to a Gynae. But my GP won't have it and thinks I'm being irrational. Grrrrr.

OK - on a positive note:

1. I have a fridge full of blue cheese and brie which I intend to attack later. It is almost a relief when the TWOT is over, at least you can stop driving yourself mad.

1. Mulled wine and champagne aplenty for the next 2 weeks, 'Tis the season to be jolly.

1. The Magic Window of Possible Upduffing will happen on Christmas Eve/Day. Maybe Santa will bring me a special present this year?

Red that is so sad, I'm so sorry for you and your choir.

'What to Expect'... I've stayed away from that particular torture. Not sure I could put myself through that. Considering hiding a FB friend today as she announced her second pregnancy, which is wonderful, and encouraging as she is a good few years older than me, but considering how she detailed every moment of her first DCs development and birth, I think I could do without that all over again.

OK time to cheer up and go shopping, Mulled for all you Viroids
xx

Evening twotterz, shaggers,.viriods and womenfolk!
Hope everyone is doing ok, I've read thru thread but as on my phone am unable to scroll back, so i'm sending pma, love and Christmas cheer from me to you lovely girls.
Come to the conclusion the womb pain it's my ability to feel which way it is pointing (didn't know it moved) as it's gone now.
Can feel the familiar twinges of ov-ness, and husband has been very generous and we're of to NYC tomorrow do fully expect to hop on the bonking express! Catch you later chicas, pma pma pma xz

Evening all. Looks like ERTD starting a day early! What is that about?! Also spent a couple of hours at friends and the only childless couple there. Not helped by all the parents being smug smuggingtons about how tedious it is having a baby clinging to you 24/7. Oh, I feel so sorry for them. Bitter, moi?

DH is getting pretty sad about it all and I've decided to go to the doctor in January. I was originally waiting til March as that would be a year since trying after CMP follow-up but if she says it's too soon then at least I've tried. Ugh, feel so sulky and fed up! Oh well, we'll have a thread Xmas capathon and loads of BFPs in January, right?! xx

make way, I'm about to dive bomb into the pity jacuzzi. SIL just announced they are expecting their 2nd DC. I only said to my mum a WK ago if she gets pg before me I'll cry! man have I cried. and I don't feel guilty. she's 5wks ffs, couldn't she have kept it to herself until after Christmas! selfish b**ch. ok sorry rant over. AF not here yet so I guess there's a smidge of hope.

Aw, lil I really feel for you. Don't feel guilty, it's like a cold bucket of water over the head (My SIL always announces early cos she misses everything due to morning sickness).
I'll put some bubbles in here to make it really fun. Am currently looking up books on Amazon about conceiving and planning my new year's fertility diet. Not sure if it's a good idea or not but can't hurt I guess!

Thanks Juniper. I think you got it spot on with the cold bucket of water analogy!

I'm always looking at ways to make our diets more fertility friendly. I've always cooked from scratch so we generally eat well but I like to try and make sure we are getting all the right things for fertility. Makes me feel like I'm doing something. Would be interested to hear if you find any good books.

That said I plan on binging over Christmas, and if I'm not upduffed I plan on drinking the whole festive season too. Bring on law of the sod! Might book a holiday too! Hell I have no job so now would be a perfect law of sod intervention time!

Lynsey, good your dog is better - ours is too, he's back to his usual cheeky self. Plenty DTD this weekend and should be ovulating so here's hoping. I would actually be glad not to be able to drink over Christmas. Best of luck and happy shagging girls. Let's get some BFPs soon please x

Oh lil - sucks about SIL She really could have kept her news to herself couldn't she?!

thanks nessa I'm feeling pretty . but I'll get over it tomorrow and move on. dh is a bit down about it too so we are a miserable pair here tonight. isn't it strange how a bfp on here is exciting but a bfp for someone in RL is a massive blow!

glad all the pets are better!

glad to h

I guess it always feels like BFPs in RL come so easy, but we've worked so hard for the ones on here!!
It's all relative I guess, if I know someone in RL has had a tough time TTC, I'll be just as happy for them as I am for folks on here.
My two cousins both had baby news this year. The one who's a year older than me and got married four years ago I was super excited for! The one who is two years younger than me and got married a month after I did (was already accidentally preggers when she got married and didn't know it!!) I'm kind of like, I love you, but WAIT YOUR TURN!!
