Couldn't stand a Fred with only a couple of posts left so I filled it up!

Here is the 13th installation of the Just Shagging saga. If you're a bit lazy relaxed in your approach to getting upduffed, come over here for a natter!

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 Brew and Wine 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 Envy 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 opk's or temp charting. They are Contraband Shock Wink

Hello all!

Gosh, this thread has gone a bit crazy! I'm lost!

Happy belated birthday Bearface sounds like you had a fun day (minus the blood test - although talking about Hugh Jackman must have dulled the pain hehe!)

cookie hope you're ok

I think I am going to go back to the cave and further into the dark, I'd rather go back to sleep. I have heard some crappy news and on top of that I am driving myself crazy with the symptom spotting! I have no idea how I am going to get through next week waiting for AF to show herself...

Ugh

I'm out this month Sad the witch has just arrived.

I just don't understand why 2 years ago I got pregnant without even trying, had unprotected sex once and got upduffed, it's now been 5 months trying and no joy Sad I've ordered some OPK's and conceive plus this morning on amazon but if they don't work I may just give up.

Kittenkatzen · 11/01/2013 11:26

conceive+ and EPO worked for me rock....could be just coincidence but after 8 months of nothing I'm inclined to think not....

Bearface · 11/01/2013 11:36

kitten - what's EPO?

Bearface · 11/01/2013 11:37

Sorry for your ERTD Rock. Sad Don't give up though. I'm sure it'll happen for you soon.

Hope you're okay Elektra - sorry for the crap news. Hang in there.

Hooya · 11/01/2013 11:41

Hello! Disappeared again into workiness and now I'm so behind!

Gecko my insurance policy is a global one, with Aetna, not sure if their UK policies cover it though...

Cookie so sorry, hope you are ok and less shaky now!

Bear happy birthday!

Rock sorry about ERTD Sad

Cleo min ERTDs are very light after coming off the pill, and I have now been pg twice in 6 months, so not a prob here anyway, I'm sure it's not!

Well scan was fine, everything normal so far, gestational sac in the right place, and back in the longest 2 weeks of my life to hopefully hear a heartbeat!

Symptomspotters - I still haven't really had any, and I have 6BFPs and a scan to prove I am pg, so don't despair if you don't have any!

It's Friiiiiiiiday Grin

Elektra83 · 11/01/2013 11:49

Cheers Bearface, I'm just sad now, with a bit of worry thrown into the mix!

I might lose my job in about 6 months, normally wouldn't be bothered but I actually like my job and where I work!

I am thinking that to add to the crapness ERTD will probably show up next week! You know to prove to me that I am being a crazy woman with the symptom spotting!

:(

Kittenkatzen · 11/01/2013 12:17

bear EPO = evening primrose oil. This is the first month I took it and we also started using conceive+, I'm sure it made a difference. EPO is supposed to improve quality of cm and generally create a more favourable environment. I took 2000mg a day (1000mg morning & same again evening) from CD1 - CD12 (2 days before expected ov). It's really important to stop taking it before ov as it can cause microcontractions in the uterus. Smile

AQuarkTooFar · 11/01/2013 14:47

Hi all. So I got my phone app wrong and it was right how I had it the first time! So i am cd30, 11dpo and 3 days until next AF due. I started spotting yest. Always have really heavy afs. This isn't even enough to show up on a pad. It was bright red yest and a brown today. Tmi I'm sorry. Off work sick with a cold yesterday and today to. Bleurgh. Just don't know what to make of it all! Confused

Bearface · 11/01/2013 16:39

Thanks Kitten - I've been taking EPO this month along with vitamin B6 and of course the old frolic acid, but didn't know I was supposed to stop taking it! Eek! Too late now! Will stop now until next cycle. Thanks for the info. I've read that it can take a couple fo months to get into the system and really kick in, so I'm going to keep going with it next cycle too anything to get that bfp

Really glad everything was okay at the scan Hooya. Smile Must be a relief of sorts. I know you've got the next one in 2 weeks but each step takes you one bit closer and all that.

Elektra - sorry about the job thing. That's really crap. If you want to take a positive from it though, at least 6 months gives you enough time to find another job if you need to. Or at least be on the lookout.

Quark - Hope it isn't ERTD and that you feel better soon. Have some Thanks

Anyone got snow yet?

Elektra83 · 11/01/2013 17:05

Thanks Bearface I know I can look again, I just don't want to, I love this place and it was horrible job hunting before...meh.

Bearface · 11/01/2013 17:18

Yep fair enough Elektra - one of my siblings is just about to be made redundant for the third time in as many years. It's really crap. Sad
