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!

Ha ha, sums it up nicely Beetle. With reference to your point D, you'll find that is a common complaint on here. I've had the same with DH. He's all up for it and then the second ov is happening (even though I don;t tell him exactly when to avoid the pressure) he's not interested. Then back to him pestering me by the time it's too late and I'm premenstrual and uninterested. It's a conspiracy!!

We did it at services once, back of the car and much younger days but don't recommend it. Better off to wait lil!

Got our toothpaste taken off us last time I went through airport beetle so not so sure you'd get that special package through!

Aaaaaaaanrgh

ERTD

Lynsey smash!

Aaaaaaaaanrgh

Thus endeth the message

Hi all, just joined as TTC, started (properly) this month. Kind of feels weird joining a forum as it's a little bit like it's 'official' that we're starting to try....

I'm 29 and OH 30, been together for 11 years, I've had depression for the last two years but was determined to come off the anti-depressants (never wanted on them but was a necessity ) and so now would like to start our family.

This is all a bit daunting and feel like it's going to take ages to learn the lingo but just wanted to say hi!

lilady the Weschler book has loads of charts etc which would be difficult to read on Kindle. If you do Amazon they probably have a few cheaper 2nd hand. It's quite a hefty tome.

I guess I am lucky as DH is v keen to get me knocked up (he's been waiting so long too, after all) and even though he is ill today he has confirmed that we will be TTC. Glad that's one last thing to worry about.

beetle part of me thinks it's all a load of old crap and if you're going to get pg you will, regardless of booze/crack/brie/being a chubber and then after it's not happened for a while you'll happily do anything to get there. I may be steering myself to getting cynical about the fertility industry though so I'll get back to Hot Tub Time Machine which is horribly sexist but entertaining nonetheless!

hi moo I've suffered with depression, including while we've been TTC, so u have a comrade of sorts here . good on you for getting off the pills. necessary but horrible things. hope your bfp arrives swiftly

maybe if we were 10 years younger we would have braved the car park but dh is chicken as we aren't we will be waiting to get home! icing pains going off now...stay with us a bit longer little eggy!

Thanks lil1ady depression has really messed our life plan up for the last few years but I'm not going to witter on about it and bore you all.

Never had sex in a car park but we have DTD in MIL back garden in the middle of summer - complete with hosepipes to cool us down, I kid you not!!

Ah Beetle, that was me last year, I had no idea that 4 lattes a day and even my sodding toothpaste was bad for fertility! (to do with antibacterial triclosan, apparently). Apart from pets, I have loads, luckily they're very discreet and quietly slope off when we have special cuddles.

Now avoiding fertility reading material as I'm fed of finding out stuff I like is bad

haha mil garden. brilliant! I assume she wasn't home...

seriously toothpaste? how does that harm fertility then.

home now and knackered. but must find energy for "special cuddles" as you so eloquently put it!

No way she was home - she was on holiday and we were only supposed to be watering the tomatoes for her so they didn't wilt!

I too should be finding time for special cuddles today but OH is playing the xbox - who says I don't already have a child

moo cut the electric...fake power cut should buy you enough time!

Evening all! Welcome Moo
My willpower totally failed and I POAS this morning! Not even due on til tomorrow! BFN obvs. Read the very useful link below (thanks whoever posted - cookie? lil? can't check back on silly phone!) and it seems I had next to no chance of getting a BFP even if I was preggers coz it's far too early - stupid impatient Ness!!
I feel a bit preggers. I know that sounds ridiculous. I'm starving hungry all the time, I just ate a whole bag of pretzels (my tongue hurts now - is that a symptom?!), and I feel crampy. I don't actual get period cramps usually, but then post-drama I have no idea what my system is up to, they may be a new and delightful addition! Anyway. I feel really positive about this month, so I am fully prepared for my hopes to be smashed to smithereens when ERTD rolls in tomorrow!!
Love to all

fx nessa hopefully it's about to rain bfps!

Hug for Lynsey, Chin up and look to next month. Fx for nessa. Blimey on the toothpaste chat. I have just looked this up and can report we have been using the wrong type, three tubes left so will donate them to someone who isn't looking to be in the family way. God this is complicated!! So we are just shagging as well as binning our toothpaste lol x

oooh

got the rage this morning. DP has decided to "help" clean the flat....

say no more viroids but it is unlikely that I will be a happy bunny for the rest of the day.

The mess! Oh the mess! how can it be that it looks a hundred times worse than it did last night. He was only "cleaning" for an hour.

Grrrrrr

I missed that one - toothpaste?! WTF?

Lol, ours is also naughty apparently. I think we'll finish the tube first though
POAS again. BFN again. No ERTD though, so I live in hope!

Don't forget the antibacterial hand soap! Trying to eat mostly organic and non processed foods but by gosh it's hard work and dull

Wishing for BFP Ness

This might be the wrong thing to say but I have no intention of changing my toothpaste or hand soap... And whilst we are eating well and I don't really drink much, I'm not doing the organic thin either.

Even after all this time trying I am fairly certain, for me, that won't make the slightest difference!

Hope ERTD holds off nessa!

rach have a & lock him in a cupboard!

Didn't know about naughty toothpaste, does this mean no teeth cleaning? It would explain why most the people with millions of kids on Jeremy Kyle have no teeth!

Yeah Dulcet, reckon you're probably right, it probably won't make the slightest bit of difference, I've just got a bit compulsive about it now, my solution is to stop reading about things that might be bad!

I ditched the colgate- I hope it was triclosan we are meant to avoid, when you start googling stuff everything is evil!!! I am sure somewhere on the net it even says shagging is bad and not a good idea if TTC!
Furry Id like to add I replaced it with one without- not risking triplets no teeth and a starring role in a jezza special ! (wink)

Eeek what's this about Toothpaste?

I think my biggest problem addiction is caffeine. I drink buckets of tea, and I really don't want to stop... I've started substituting my last cup of the night for fruit tea, but that's as far as I go at the moment. What does caffeine do to you anyway? Does it increase the chance of mc?

I'm in symptom spotting hell. I'm 8dpo(ish), norks feel like heavy water balloons about to burst, also have tingling nips.. but none of this is that unusual for me, I get it most months, just not quite this early on...

Hooya needed!!!!

Dulcet I also totally agree with you. I was reading an article that says even flame retardant mattresses can be bad for you?! Someone helpful pointed out that surely a mattress that can easily set on fire is of more damage......

I am now on the TWOT with only one pg test in my cupboard - and it's a 4 days early one. But it means I can't do anything for another 10 days or so even if I wanted to. I keep thinking, give me a sign, any sign.... I don't feel pregnant. But then why would I be now anyway - too soon. What a frustrating process designed to give you a mindfuck!

If you read the daily mail enough you will read everything is bad for you. I found a site once that linked off to each different thing that the daily mail has said causes cancer. That included opposing information eg. Having babies/not having babies, exercising/not exercising. Similar to googling pregnancy symptoms; google anything and you could be pregnant. Very annoyingly!

Technically I am in TWOT also with 8 days to go but not sure I've even ov'd yet. Stupid body!

10 days is plenty of time to get some cheapies moo...
