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.

((Red)), I'm so sorry for your friend & her family. I hope she & eldest son make excellent recoveries from their injuries...and her youngest is surrounded by lots of family & friends so he's not going through this alone. :(
I hope you get some positive news on their conditions soon.

Congrats on the ovulation! I hope you managed to get some!

Andie, ooh, tattoo? Is it 'I luv JS'.
This month we booked a nonrefundable holiday, bought all 'my' Christmas alcohol & banned in pg food & threw out my pregnancy magazines from DS, so hope that's enough for a sticky baby!

Bear, I would go to the Dr's & get checked out if I were you. If they can't do anything for you other than give you something to make them shorter it alone could be enough to get you pg.
Good luck!

Tenton, hope for good news in a few hours!

Ding, if it's taking a bit to get pg, I'd recommend temping for one month just so you know when/if(!) you ovulate. Although a for using a dirty banned word!

Hooya, good to hear from you & that you're still shagging away!

Digital says 2-3 weeks this morning.

Bronte41 · 27/11/2012 06:40

GBT That is fabulous news!! Congrats!!

Red What tragic news.

As for me, ertd has landed today making last month's cycle 32 days. I have to admit, I've no idea how long my cycles are anyway. So there will be more JSing this month!!

AndIfATenTonTruck · 27/11/2012 06:51

morning all pissers and watchers... well it is day 34 but FRER just said no. so I want to get AF over with and back to shagging. the app on my phone has calculators for weight as well as temp - that wouldn't be banned would it?

((hugs Red. thinking of your friend and her sons))

MrsBri · 27/11/2012 07:15

Yay for Gary! So, so pleased for you. You tempted that in, didn't you?! When is the holiday for? I'm sure there will be takers for the food and alcohol! :-)

Sorry for your news, Red. I hope they all recover soon.

wavesandsmiles · 27/11/2012 09:25

Hugs for you red what a terrible shock for you. I really hope that they recover soon, and that the younger son is having support to deal with the trauma of what he recollects.

andie what is the tattoo? I was due to get a new one for my Christmas present, but ridiculously worried that it might hurt now I am pg or not be good for the little wavelet.

Hoping for some positive peeing news this morning Smile

Still yet to contact my GP, but guess I should sort out an appointment soonish. They will be sick of the sight of me, since I visited twice in the last 2 weeks with this horrid chest infection and fly type thing.

Where is your holiday GBT? I am off to Scotland a month today, and not sure I am looking forward to the amount of travelling that will involve.

Rockchick1984 · 27/11/2012 10:20

So sorry to hear about your friend Red and I hope they all make a swift recovery, I hope you are coping ok with it as well Thanks

Whoop whoop Gary/Horse congratulations!!!

Please can I come back? I had that wobble a few weeks ago, and wasn't sure if I was ready to be TTC again but have managed to sort out moving house so now have the space to have another baby, and I've been getting so broody again! I think (and this sounds daft, so feel free to throw biscuits and hooyas at me) but life feels pretty good at the moment. DS is fun, he's finally almost sleeping through the night, me and DH are really happy, I feel back to normal weight, and not still all frumpy etc as a new mum. Part of me still wonders why I want to change things, but I know I'll regret it if I don't have another baby.

So... Am hopping back onto JSing, if you'll have me! ERTD buggered off on Sunday, so officially back in the saddle Grin have ordered some IC pregnancy tests off amazon. I nearly bought some ov sticks too but decided not too yet will see how I get on without them for a few months :)

Rockchick1984 · 27/11/2012 10:24

Oooh, congrats waves too!!! Wouldn't get a tattoo done while pregnant, no reputable studio would do it anyway if they knew, but ignoring risks etc it would bloody hurt - I had a bikini wax while pregnant and had to stop before it was finished as my skin was just too tender, wouldn't have let anyone near me with needles after that!! Think risks are just what you would expect re unsanitary conditions, blood diseases etc but not certain if there's anything pregnancy specific as to why not to get it done :)

AndIfATenTonTruck · 27/11/2012 11:14

think it was just me and ding that were going to have a pee, waves, and we're both out this month. Unless you count the sympathy ov stick peeing by someone upthread!

Ah well, it means I don't need to awkwardly refuse booze at all the Christmas lunches now, I suppose!!

wavesandsmiles · 27/11/2012 11:19

Welcome back Rock - so pleased to hear you are back to the JSing and that life seems happier. I'm still hanging around here purely because it is such a nice place to be, and it also feels a bit early to be on the pg freds.

Appreciate the advice on the tattoo - I shall leave that to post-baby I think. My studio is vair vair good, but I don't want to risk anything, and certainly don't want to have to bail part way through! I have far too many a fair few anyway, and I'd rather spend the money on the house/baby bits at the moment!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 27/11/2012 11:19

Welcome back Rock!! for thinking you're better off without us Grin

I think this pg will be ending soon, went to the dentists earlier & in the waiting room I suddenly didn't feel pregnant anymore....and now I'm cramping. :(

Holiday is booked for next Sept, so we would've had a month old baby.

Sorry for the bfn tenton.

Bearface · 27/11/2012 11:20

Hello All,

Red - so sorry to hear your news. Thanks How devastating. I really hope your friends come through okay. Hugs for you too. x

Gary - that's fantastic news! Huge congrats. Smile

Thanks Gary and Hooya for the advice. I am booked in to doctors for skin stuff next week so will ask while I am there then. Have started charting too from today so I know when I ov. Okay, okay, I know I'm breaking fred rules but otherwise I'll never know and I feel like it's important for me to know as I'm so all over the place with WTF cycles.

I am on day 10, yes, 10, of ERTD :( but Gary's news has cheered me up immensely. FX for more BFPs everyone. Is anyone else weeing today?

Welcome back Rock! Glad everything is working out for you.

AndieMatrix · 27/11/2012 12:27

Welcome back Rock glad you're feeling more positive.

The tattoo is a moustache (a la Poiroit) on the side of my left index finger. A friend's "tattoo parlour" was doing a Movember charity day so it hurt like hell but was for a good cause. It's my 7th and smallest tattoo. Waves Just to add to what Rock said, when pg you're more at risk to infection as your immunity is lowered so even going to the best, cleanest tattooist when you're healing you can still get infected and septecimia would be bad!! Pain raises your adrenaline also which is bad for bub.

Gary I hope your feeling is unfounded and that all is sticky, with all the fate tempting you've done it damn well should be. Grin

Red That is terrible news. Positive thoughts being sent.

frogchops · 27/11/2012 12:34

Oh Gary I hope it's the stickiest sticky there is!

Am quite jubilant that DP even said last night when we went to bed (extreeemely tired) when I was just dozing off, 'come on then, I shouldn't even have to ask for this anymore'.... Made me lol.
All good in our shagging camp. Although he did suggest that I spit out the essential goods :-/

AndIfATenTonTruck · 27/11/2012 15:10

Sticky thoughts fir Gary, sticky sticky sticky.

I had a very Blush moment earlier. My boss is a bit short on social skills, hangs around in the office when he really doesn't need to continue chatting, doesn't notice the "I'm going to get on with things now" sort of body language"... etc. So when I came back from a 2.5 hour meeting (over lunchtime!!!) and saw him loitering around, I did extra bustling and faffing while my PC logged back on and opened up screens. Unfortunately I had forgotten that the last thing I had been looking at before I locked it was an amazon basket page full of ov strips, ultra sensitive early preg tests, etc. ARGH!!! I am sure he saw, but it's possible he may not have actually clicked what it meant.

I've been calendar-watching and am now in the position that if I got pg this cycle, due date would be exactly when my DS1, August baby, is starting big school. How much fun would that not be with a newborn in tow!?!?

And the witch arrived at lunchtime. Curses.

Kittenkatzen · 27/11/2012 16:29

Shock GARY!! :o:o:o:o Massive congrats, sending bucketfuls of mental superglue your way!

Welcome back rockchick glad you're feeling a bit better now :)

Good grief red how absolutely awful, I hope they all make swift and full recoveries very soon.

Argh tenton that's awkward! Fx he's a typical man and it went straight over his head!!

bear grrrr Angry to the witch hanging around making a niusance of herself. Hope the doc can help suggest something for you.

I'm sure I've missed loads so to everyone else!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 27/11/2012 16:42

Grin I luff my username, it makes pregnancy congrats more fun. Think I'll chose Keith next time!

Sorry ERTD got you Tenton, for the ov sticks in basket!
You know that means you're going to get upduffed this cycle don't you?

Well done to mrFrog for the donning of shagcape!

Good luck at the dr's next week Bear, if it helps, have all your recent cycle data written down so they can't bat you off with it just being post-pill stuff.

Andie, well done on the movember tat! Sounds lovely...I remember you mentioning it now a few pages back!

DH has given me permission to buy all the pregnancy tests in the world. I have 5 sticks & 1 digital, will do a stick everyother day from Thurs & then the digi next Tues. Then I'll be happy. Feel a bit more positive than this morning, but still not wanting to get my hopes up!

Bearface · 27/11/2012 17:18

stickstickstick for Gary Smile

Yes, thanks Gary and Kitten - I'll be going in to drs armed with data.

Can I just recommend another fred to you all? I've been reading the worst job interviews fred and I've roared with laughter on several occasions, so if you need cheering up or a good belly laugh . . .

frogchops · 27/11/2012 18:15

I'll have a look at that bear.... It's my night in on my own in a tues, so will read it in peace later. DP goes to see his nan on a tues so I'm home alone, its great. I'll be at fat club til 8:30 tho, and will obviously return armed with goodies!
I just laughed at mr frog in his shagcape!! He really took me by surprise saying 'come on, what's wrong with you' what a turn up this is!! Lets hope he's still feeling frisky constantly throughout ov days!!
Oh and errrr, yeh hooya me now, but I bought some ov sticks (I'm saying this really quickly so noone really notices me say it) I think I'll use one maybe tomorrow, it'll be cd 10...too early??
Have had a ton of people say that because I'm at fat club I'll get up the duff. Apparantly its just what happens when u join! I wish it was, but hey I'm all for clutching at straws!!

Bearface · 27/11/2012 18:46

I'll Hooya you with my own ov sticks! That fred is like a book Frog - I know you'll love it - it's your kind of humour. Grin

BTW everyone, I forgot to say that I got that job the other day, must have been all the positive vibes coming from this fred, but turned it down because they basically didn't tell me certain things about it until I got to interview and the money was one of them. T'wasn't good, so I declined. They were a bit annoyed with me, but I thought they should have told me all the details before getting me in there and then telling me. Certain things that should have been on the job description weren't there. Hmm Oh well, moving on . . .

My MIL has been taken into hospital and has to have an emergency op tomorrow so am a bit worried about her and FIL who is upset. They're so sweet, so I am a bit Sad. Hope she's okay.

Hope Fit Fat Club goes well Frog.

Gary - you've reminded me of the last episode of Gavin and Stacey when she buys 34 POASs just to check that she really is positive! Grin

Bearface · 27/11/2012 18:47

Argh - typo hell - Fit Fat Club it was menat to read, Frog*

DingDongBelle · 27/11/2012 19:30

Crickey, we can talk!

No way will I be able to nc you all as I am on phone while cooking! But hey all :)

GaryB sticky sticky :) symptoms come and go a lot in the first few weeks. Mine did. I didn't really feel pregnant all the time until about 8 weeks and only then cos I couldn't stop vomming lol. Fx Thanks

Frog are you sure you haven't been putting something Viagra in his tea Wink

Ertd is probably here in the next day or so. My bazookas are huge and I'm so bloated I had to wear old maternity jeans to work today.

So let me get this straight. We are meant to be the just shaggers. But I'm charting, at least three of us are using opk's, and two are pregnant?? Do we need a new Fred theme? Or are we going to get done for false advertising?? Grin

MrsBri · 27/11/2012 19:41

I think you'll find that 3 are pregnant...one just lurks a little more than others!! ;-p

DingDongBelle · 27/11/2012 20:23

Ah Mrs Bri! Sorry!! 3 pg so far... One temping, a couple on opk's... Hmm :)

frogchops · 27/11/2012 20:24

Haha. We will totally get done by trading standards. Yes we are trading... Trading stories, craziness and bodily fluids things we wouldn't share with people in every day life!!
Have just returned from fat club. 2.5 pound weight loss means I've just scoffed a cheese roll a packet of wotsits and am about to eat my peanut butter Kitkat. (Shit, if I get upduffed I better be able to still eat those!!!)
Anyway, am just popping to read bears link....
