Just Shagging - JSers roll up for fred 12

999 replies

Kittenkatzen · 01/11/2012 14:03

Oh, the other fred filled up all of a sudden! Oh well here's a new one....(horse feel free to replace if you want to be fred starter, just didn't want everyone in limbo!)

Fred rules;

  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 Wine and Brew 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. The reason for this is a closely guarded secret, known only to....er....well, nobody as far as we can tell!
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).
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.

Oooh - we're on 500 - half way through our fred. Man, we can talk!

Hello Cookie. Hope you've got your cape on! Wink

No Gary - I won't be peeing - still got ERTD. Should be done by weekend. DH told me he's looking forward to resuming activities which is lovely. Bought some OPKs too as don't know when I ov. Shhhh.

LadyFlumpalot · 23/11/2012 09:23

Hello, can I join you please? I miscarried recently and have just got my libido back - with a vengeance.

Bearface · 23/11/2012 09:25

Waves - how exciting! Huge congrats! BTW it wasn't me who stormed off from Pat - it was Gary Horse although to be fair that's the sort of thing I would have done too. I'm still notvery good with bats and balls - hee hee Carry On Tastic!

Bearface · 23/11/2012 09:46

Welcome Ladyflump - nice to meet you. Sorry about the MC Sad. Glad the big L is back.

GaryBuseysTeeth · 23/11/2012 12:09

Oh sugar lumps Bear, sorry I completely misread your post!! Hurrah for DH being on board, for the sticks, but I think we've all used them at some point.
DH bought me a post mc ttc book, and in it, it explains that very few women have the typical 28 day cycle, ov on cd14 that is accepted as the 'norm'.
Looking at what I've done this month, I have a 30 day cycle, but don't ov until around cd20-22! Which might explain why I'm not actually pg.

Welcome LadyFlumpalot! Sorry to hear of your MC :(
If you have an specific ttc after mc questions there are 2 post mc threads on the conception board, which are really useful, they're all lovely too, we've just got extra crazy. Grin

Congrats again Waves! Hope we get an update from you soon, if you're sodding off to the Grads chat!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, I've spent the morning putting poison everywhere so I'll hopefully kill a mouse soon.

LadyFlumpalot · 23/11/2012 12:48

Hi guys!

I am on one of the TTC after MC threads, felt my sexual deviance might be better received here though.

Have only recently stopped bleeding, and I want back on the bus sooner rather than later. The trouble is convincing my other half that I'm ok and he's not going to break me!

Me thinks the stockings are going to have to come out tonight. Grin

livismum · 23/11/2012 13:02

Hi ladies feel a bit stalkerish just lurking and not posting!
Congrats on the BFP waves
Welcome lady
I've had a horrible week, trying to support DD1 with a show she's doing this week, been helping backstage with dress rehearsal and opening night, got rather stressful! And my darling Grandma is in hospital following nasty op on her bowels (think its the C word but I'm going la la la in my head till I know for sure!)
So I'm afraid I've been letting the shagging slide a bit here, but a fresh cycle following the mc won't hurt and I give a girl guides promise that I'll try harder next month (I'll even banish my onesie!)

AndIfATenTonTruck · 23/11/2012 13:17

hi all, just popping in... still no ERTD so still assuming I'm on course to piss on Tuesday...! had a few glasses of wine last night, just to play the laws of sod a bit, and started making sure I carry the dear old mooncup around because ERTD always comes when you're unprepared, so I'm going to be super prepared; just to dare her!

downloaded an app because my Google calendar appears to have lost my markings subtly entered as 'day 1' for the past six months. I am 2 days overdue, it thinks.

congrats waves!! love the sneezing strategy!!

countrybumpkin2 · 23/11/2012 13:49

Man you guys talk fast!

Congrats waves! How exciting!
Hi Ladyflump Smile

Well after being majorly down about not getting a BFP in my first month of trying my ERTD has finally gone and we are back to JSing! Hurrah!

Still keep getting anoyed at work colleague telling me all about his DPs pregnancy. Its not his fault, he is just excited! So jealous Envy

This is probs a very supid question and tmi but after we have DTD quite alot of the baby making juice leaks out. Is this normal? Too used to using condoms!

wavesandsmiles · 23/11/2012 14:02

Hi Lady hope that you convince other half to get on the JSing wagon soon Smile

Thanks for the congrats everyone - just sinking in now really, and super happy - 2 other people I work with are upduffed at the moment so will be lovely to avoid the slightly jealous feelings and enjoy the secret news for now!

country I think it is a pure gravity thing that causes the leakage, hence the tales of people laying with legs up in the air after the deed. I never did that, but did insist on DH making the post coital cuppas so at least I was horizontal.

Kittenkatzen · 23/11/2012 14:12

Afternoon shaggers! Wow you guys can talk, so much to catch up on since yesterday!!

Welcome cookie and ladyflump! Shock at ladyflump insinuating that we're all sexual deviants over here were you reading all the bumsex chat then?! :o Thanks for your mc lady

country I sypathise with you on the annoying work colleagues - half my office is upduffed at the moment, seriously you can't move for bumps it's ridiculous. If I hear "ooh kitten it'll be you next" one more time I may actually scream! And yes, post JS leakage is perfectly normal :) try sticking a pillow under your bum for a bit to keep it in a bit better. And then make your DH sleep on the wet patch

livis Thanks for your gran being poorly, I hope she's feeling better soon.

ooh tenton 2 days late is exciting poaspoaspoaspoaspoas :o

gary good luck with operation mouse hunt!

to everyone I missed, happy friday all :)

Thanks for telling me that Gary - really useful to know. Everywhere you read on the 'official' sites that ov day for most women is day 13 or 14 of any given cycle but being on here and stalking other freds I've found that you and your clever book are right and that is not the case, so thinking I've been maybe relaxing and sliding off the wagon a bit too early. Maybe. Although we have just done it for fun on other days anyway. Grin

Country - I think that's quite normal. Maybe stick your legs in the air or put a pillow under your bum after and that might help, but I find it comes out eventually anyway. I think lots is good as it means lots of activity and lots of swimmers. (Sorry if this is all TMI.)

Bearface · 23/11/2012 14:18

Ahh - cross posting with me and Kitten - looks like I copied you - didn't, promise! ha ha!

Kitten - you should read the fred about worst thing to say to someone when they're TTC, although beware, it might make you feel worse, so maybe ignore that I said this.

AndieMatrix · 23/11/2012 14:27

Welcome cookie and lady hope you are ready to embrace the crazy. Stockings and deviant behaviour included.lol

I'm on cd16 wondering if I'm about to ovulate and hoping we've caught it this month. So I won't be part of Tuesdays peeing extravaganza. Gives me time to find something interesting to pee in though.

Is it weird that I think Pat Cash is still pretty hot?!

Any fun weekend plans? I'm going to have a moustache tattooed on my finger for Movember on Sunday afternoon then taking DP to see the comedian Steve Hughes.

Bearface · 23/11/2012 14:33

Ha Ha - do you folks remember the ginger discussion we had a while back? Well, the baby in question is looking distinctly less brown haired and more ginger now. Meh he he.

Bearface · 23/11/2012 14:38

I think Mr Cash deserves a second glance Andie.

No weekend plans for Bearface sadly, but hoping something comes along. Might be able to get on with JSing if AF buggers off. Will just enjoy hanging out with DH.

LadyFlumpalot · 23/11/2012 14:54

Country it's normal, if you have proper worn yourself out and just go straight to sleep, I find it all tends to collect, then when you go for a first morning wee... It can be a bit of a shock and one of my friends did actually go to the Docs about the mysterious discharge she kept getting... GrinBlush

Kittenkatzen · 23/11/2012 14:56

bear yeah i did see that fred but think i stopped reading halfway as steam was starting to come out of my ears! Yesterday I honestly thought the ttc gods were having a laugh at me - it went like this;

  • pg lady on bike next to me in spin class
  • afternoon spent in meeting with 2 pg colleagues
  • walk past 2 lovely bumps on way to station
  • enormously pg lady opposite me on train, stroking her bump taunting me the whole way home
  • text from friend saying "I've just had my baby!"
  • text from different friend saying "would you like to come and meet my 10 week old on sunday?"
  • DH, looking at pic of friend 1's newborn, says (jokingly) "grrr why haven't we got one of those yet?" followed by "shall we watch on OBEM?"

aaaaaaargh!!! Angry:(

Hello fellow shaggers

Despite very excessive amounts of both wine and shagging, ERTD arrived last night Sad

Feel pregnant with dd first time but guess I am 10 years older now. Never mind, there's always next month...

Bearface · 23/11/2012 15:13

Oh blimey Kitten - that is a mighty catalogue of pg people to have to encounter all in one day. Yes - that would get to me too. I feel for you. I read the whole of that other Fred, but it made me mad too - not the posters, just the audacity of some people the posters had encountered. Hmm Really hope it gets better for you. x

Hi Perdita - sorry about ERTD. You're right, there is always next month. FX for us all, eh?

They're cutting a tree down right outside my house and the bangs and bumps are getting closer and closer . . . eek!

frogchops · 23/11/2012 16:18

AF HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!! :-D

Bearface · 23/11/2012 18:57

Oh why, oh why did I google? Sad Hooya me someone! Gosh, feel like I'm being Hooya'd on a daily basis at the mo.

Great for you, Frog - now you can get on with JSing! Cape on, goggles on . . . and fly! Grin

Bearface · 23/11/2012 19:02

A friend told me today to 'hurry up' and 'get on with it'. I said I was doing my best. I do like her and she was only joking, but when she said that I felt like crumbling. Sad

Bearface · 23/11/2012 19:10

Wine for me and hopefully JSing over the weekend to get me back on track. Smile

Redshoes56 · 24/11/2012 05:27

Welcome cookie and lady. And waves, so happy for you! Thanksgiving was really nice, made and ate entirely too much food. We snuck in a quickie yesterday between basting the turkey (I set the timer to 30 minutes on the stove, and off we went). Going on day 18 and it seems I haven't ovulated yet still peeing on contraband OPKs. Stupid lazy, tardy egg.

bear, that's just crap on your friend's part, although I'm sure no hard feelings were meant. When my girlfriend was having a hard time getting pregnant, I remember opening my mouth and words falling out like, "it'll happen when you stop worry, blah blah blah." Now, I can totally relate to how she was feeling and wishing I'd kept my mouth shut as I was speaking of things I knew nothing about.

What's on tap for everyone's weekend besides lots of shagging? There was a James Bond marathon on here so we have been couch potatoes. Might go into NYC for a friend's band's show tomorrow, if we're feeling up to it. But first I still have a sink full of dishes (had a friend over tonight for Thanksgiving "lite" and made a mess all over again).
