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 and 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. 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

Happy shagging shaggers

Hi threeblondes!!

Rock - was that meant for me? I don't think so, i think it really is ERTD.

I have consoled myself with rolo, milky way puddings, crisps and chocolate, dreading getting weighed tomorrow now. Ahh well you only live once, and all that.

frogchops · 03/03/2013 21:10

Just posting to keep you in my threads list.... Am lurking still, keeping my eye on you all!!

AQuarkTooFar · 04/03/2013 09:34

Hi all still here! Will try and catch up on all the news later.

I have had a crappy weekend. Am in fertile week according to my app. Managed to DTD once over the weekend. Also managed a very public meltdown at a party. Got in a shouting match with a male friend then broke down in tears. Everything is getting a little on top of me which is why I haven't been around much. Sad

Anyway hope you are all ok and fingers crossed for loads of BFPs in March!

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 04/03/2013 18:52

Evenin' all! Still ERTD'ing here - very slooooooow to come on properly this month...

Sorry to hear you're having a rubbish time Quark, cookie hope ERTD hasn't arrived yet, and hugs to everyone waiting for bfps and lurking.

cookielove · 04/03/2013 21:13

ERTD is offically here Sad

Redshoes56 · 04/03/2013 22:49

Boo, sorry cookie.

Aunt Flo just hit the road for me, so it's back to business in the Shoes household! Otherwise, nothing exciting happening here.

cookielove · 05/03/2013 13:15

Dh is back tonight, yay!!

I've really missed him, I haven't heard his voice for so long Sad

So hopefully we to will be back to business soon to this is our month. THIS IS OUR MONTH. THIS IS OUR MONTH!!!!

BrassicaBabe · 05/03/2013 15:31

Can I say a little "Hi"? I'm a JSing Founder Member and was a grad on about thread 3 and it was my Gu ramekin that started the PIAR

(I now have 20 month old twins and I'm just raising my head above the parapet. I've not been on MN since DTs were born really.)

I'm glad to see you are still going at it so to speak.

I'm going to have a little search around to see who else I can find.

Keep up the good fight virods Grin

Bearface · 05/03/2013 17:00

Hello all! I missed you guys! I've been away for the weekend, then working and had a job interview today. I still don't know if I got the job yet. I'd really like it, but I'm sure they're going to give it to someone else. Sigh. Oh well, I guess you just don't know. I feel it went as well as it could have, so as DH said to me, it probably comes down to what type of person they are after and whether I fit the bill. So, we'll see.

Well, there's tonnes to catch up on, but I need to be brief!

Quark - sorry you're having a rubbish time. Hope things get better for you. Here, have the unicorn to hold for a bit . . .

Red - keep going with the study - it's tough balancing them out, but I'm sure you'll do a fab job!

Sorry for everyone who got ERTD. Sad

Hi Brassica - nice to hear a success story! Are you back on the JSing wagon then?

DH and I managed to DTD a couple of times over the weekend, but I just couldn't face it last night and really needed to save my energy for the interview. Maybe we'll have a go tonight instead after the footie!

Hope everyone is well! Smile

notsoold · 07/03/2013 11:05

Back from scan and everything is fine. They found a fetal pole with a hearbeat....:)dated around 6 weeks instead of almost 8 but I was told not to worry
Thank you for your suport and all the fxs and hand holding
Xxx

Bearface · 07/03/2013 17:03

That's great news Notso. Smile

Bearface · 07/03/2013 17:03

Is it me or have the emoticons gone a bit funny on MN? They look a bit blurry to me.

Bearface · 07/03/2013 17:04

Or do I need to get my eyes tested? Grin

notsoold · 07/03/2013 17:17

Bear get yourself to the opticians girl!!! Grin

Bearface · 07/03/2013 17:24

Grin notso

Shaggers, I forgot to say - the big news in BearLand is - I got the job!!! GrinI start in September and I'm really pleased. As I said on the teachery fred, I think we'll just carry on TTC because there's such a small chance of it happening, and if it does happen we'll deal with it then.Would rather have a baby than a job, but can't have it all I guess

Rockchick1984 · 07/03/2013 17:31

Yay Notso so glad it went well!!

Congratulations on the job Bear - even if you get pregnant they can't withdraw the job offer so by September you may have a new job and a baby bump Grin

My scan went brilliantly today - 8 weeks and baby looked slightly like a baby rather than just a bean, saw the heartbeat and all is good :)

frogchops · 07/03/2013 19:22

Yay for bears new job!! And yay for rocks scan of bean!
Double yay for notso.... You were so worried about that, I'm glad it all worked out Smile

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 07/03/2013 19:24

Yay for notso and yay for bear and yay for rock! It's a day of YAY!

cookielove · 07/03/2013 19:56

Congratulations bear

Good news notso

Bearface · 07/03/2013 19:56

Another yay! Thanks Rock, Humpty and Frog! Glad BabyRock is looking good!

notsoold · 07/03/2013 22:40

Congratulations on the job , Bear!!! Way to go !!! :)

Bearface · 08/03/2013 10:22

Cheers Notso! I'm really chuffed. Woke up this am and realised I don't have to spend half the day looking for a job! Grin

Is DH back yet Cookie? Did you have a lovely reunion? Ahhh. Really cute how much you were missing him. My DH is away next week for a few days and I'll miss him terribly. Snivel. Oh well, got him all weekend first.

Is anyone testing soon? Where are we all up to?

I think we missed ov this month what with my interview and everything. We could have caught it though as we managed it before ov took place, a day or two, but I'm not holding my breath. DH is taking his Wellman vits and is doing everything he can to make his sperm better, so hoping that will all kick in in the next few months.

Hope you're all doing well too. Happy weekend and Happy International Women's Day - go us! x

Rockchick1984 · 08/03/2013 10:32

Bear when are you testing? Have you been using the CP?

OP posts:
Bearface · 08/03/2013 14:16

Rock - we only used it once! We forgot to take it away with us last weekend as we went away for the weekend. Doh! Maybe the once might have done it?! I'm not testing for at least another week. It would be typical that I would get upduffed now I've just accepted a job, but I don't care think it matters too much. The school I'm going to is a very traditional faith school, shall we say, so they would have to be ultra supportive I think!

Hooya · 09/03/2013 04:15

Hello all! Just dropping in to say congrats to bear!

And hello to Brassica - lovely to have a founder member around! This thread was a most excellent idea and we are all indebted to you for creating a place where we could talk about shagging share our thoughts with likeminded shaggers! Grin

Happy shagging to everyone, hoping for another bout of BFPs soon! I am 12+4, had amazing 12 week scan and after a ropey start with sickness, seem to be feeling better now which means some more shagging at last! Grin

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
