We laugh in the face of OPKS and stomp on our thermometers! Don your customised shag capes, ladies; it's Just Shagging Thread 15

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 OPKs or temp charting. They are Contraband.

Aw sorry about the bfn cookie.

Are we meant to customise our capes? How exciting! I think I will go for something a bit plain but shiny on the outside but with secret dark blue and yellow stars on the inside. Not sure where that detail came from but hey!

Nessalina · 05/06/2013 23:13

That sounds like the best cape EVER! Grin

Minion · 06/06/2013 09:06

God I can't wait to be pg just for the grounding alone...
I'm knackered, sorry ladies. In the middle of 4 12 hour shifts, and tonight's a night flight so grumble grumble.
I dream of the day I'm about to do a really bone tiring shift, phoning up and saying ' yeah sorry minion can't be your minion tonight, she's managed to procreate, see you in t'office.
Bring. It. On!

Welcome newies! Shag cape customisation skills are a must, even though mine resemble something you'd see on art attack.

Rockchick1984 · 06/06/2013 09:24

Art attack is too professional for me - my cape looks more like something my 2 year old has decorated Grin

MrsAVB · 06/06/2013 10:06

bear yes it is my first that has got this far. Had 2 MCs last year at 6 and 7 weeks so still very nervous. Just hope there's something in there when it gets to the scan. Although the amount of vomming going on would seem to indicate that there is something stealing my juju.
Hope you are all doing ok and don't mind me continuing to spy lurk a little. FX for lots of BFPs soon. Xxx

AQuarkTooFar · 06/06/2013 10:23

Hi all! Hope everyone is ok. those capes are sounding good ladies.

Bear I hope you feeling better today? Flowers

Well I really am sorry to have gotten your hopes up! Two days ago I started spotting and today (10 days late) ERTD has arrived. Was beginning to hope this was our month but never mind. Plenty of vino and shagging for me over DH's birthday. Although I am a bit Angry at my messed up cycle.

Keeping fingers crossed for anyone else waiting on BFPs!

AQuarkTooFar · 06/06/2013 10:30

Oh and looking at dates (tmi alert) the pink mucus I thought was implantation was actually ovulation.

Also this month in honour of dh's big birthday my shag cape shall be covered in all things he loves:- machines, Lego, tractors etc etc!

IceNoSlice · 06/06/2013 11:45

Quark you could take inspiration for your DH birthday cape from my DS's baby gro of the day. It has a big digger on it and says 'I love diggers!'

AQuarkTooFar · 06/06/2013 11:52

Aw sounds super cute ice and Dh really does love diggers!

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 16:51

Cool capes, dudettes! Mine is going to be deck chair striped for the moment to go with the sun here. Yes, Dulcet, it's finally warming up! Smile

Despite that though I'm feeling rather down in the dumps today. Partly about Ttc and I had a bad day at work schmirk that has knocked my confidence a bit. I feel like I struggle to work under other people (always have!) (and I'm not a manager or anything) and I would be much happier as my own boss but have to do what I do as I don't have the money to go it alone. I just feel a bit Sad as though I'm not really any good at anything anymore. Sorry to put a downer on the Fred. I'll be alright soon. I guess my confidence is just a bit fragile and I'll buck up.

Hope it all goes well for you Mrs and that Baby AVB is well at the scan.

Sorry Ertd got you Quark. Our bodies can be so cruel. I really thought you were upduffed.

Thanks for the get well messages and the cranberry advice Nessie. I'll look it up definitely. Feeling a bit better on the body front today. I have drunk sooo much.

Hope you are all well?

lil1ady · 06/06/2013 17:29

Bear I know what u mean about not doing well working for others. I am a manager but the 3male directors I work for are quite frankly cocks and I reckon I could do a far better job. I dream of the day I will be able to go it alone and show them how it should be done!

quark sorry she showed up. but yay for the Wine you will be able to drink for dhs birthday.

day 4 of my fertility friendly healthy eating kick and so far my only slip up has been an ice cream in work yesterday. out dancing tonight so that will burn some extra calories!

eagerly awaiting some bfps....in pressure testers!

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 17:37

Lil- I just get sick of male power trips and UB ( unnecessary bollocks). Wahh!

lil1ady · 06/06/2013 17:42

bear worse than that is the us (unnecessary sarcasm) we had a whole office email chain today because one person emailed them asking for the trees to be cut back so they don't damage our car roofs! seriously a simple "we'll look into it" would do! but nooooooo it has to be turned into some male pissing contest

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 19:30

Oh lawd. Yes, there is such UN (unnecessary nonsense) in the workplace. I can't really say exactly what happened to me (for obvious Outage reasons) but let's suffice to say that someone does something wrong and I report it and somehow I end up with twice as much work after a series of URD (utterly ridiculous decisions). Original offender gets off scot free. Angry All URD was to feed power trip of said cock head manager. ( oh how sweet of my predictive text who wanted me to write 'clock head'. Love!)

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 19:32

Of course there are some lovely male managers but they never seem to be my manager.

IceNoSlice · 06/06/2013 20:27

Boo to silly cock head managers. Yay to pretty summer shag capes! And a weekend of sun to get us all in the mood.

ChocChaffinch · 06/06/2013 20:54

Aloha, please may I join?
am deep undercover with name changes as this whole pg malarkey is a BIG secret from RL... have had 2 MC in past and don't need a million people asking me what's going on IYSWIM

have 2 DC
have been trying since end April.
V early days., and have 0 symptoms.

GnomieGrace · 06/06/2013 21:50

Welcome Chaffinch, I know what you mean, we haven't told anyone we're trying yet in RL, these Freds are the only place I can let my crazed symptom spotting out. Boobs are back to normal but I have pulled a muscle in my shoulder, my cape got caught whilst shagging, messy! RSI - random sexitime injury!!!

Nessalina · 06/06/2013 22:09

Ha! Lol at RSI Gnomie, I have so got myself one of those this week, the left side of my back has been going into spasm all day Confused
Refusing to pack up the cape for the month just yet though, still not sure if OV has happened yet, though app reckons today!
Lots of Wine & Flowers to those with the TTC and working blues - don't let the man it's always a man! get you down! Grin

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 23:15

Thanks Nessie. Arf at RSI Gnomie.

Bearfacedchic · 06/06/2013 23:15

Oh and welcome Chaff!

C999875 · 07/06/2013 11:12

Well I was planning on having some fun tonight but A.f has put a stop to that. Just have to wait till next week then I suppose. The wierd thing is I am feeling very horny but there's no way I'd have sex while A.f is here, urrgg sex is do I dare say messy and smelly at the best of times. Although I don't think my friend would complain. I'll just have to make it up to him next week and get on with ttc after A.f goes home. xx

frazzles79 · 07/06/2013 17:13

hi all, sorry about BFNs and other down feelings. Been quiet here as been away and also feeling very poorly. I've just started taking medication for acid reflux and some research with Dr Google suggests the one I'm on may be slightly more likely to cause birth defects if taken before TTC...with my previous experiences I'm not so keen to try.

It's only a 28 day course which will hopefully heal up any problems so fingers crossed it helps and I will feel better soon. Best of luck all! xx

Bearfacedchic · 07/06/2013 17:38

Are you putting it on hold for a month then Frazzle? Ifcyou are, it'll go quickly. Acid reflux sounds nasty! DH had an ulcer once and he was the most ill I've ever seen him. Poor thing. Hope you feel better soon Frazz.

frazzles79 · 07/06/2013 18:06

hi bear, yes, I think so...As it's not happening I'm not sure if we'll actively avoid plus I feel so crappy I'm not sure the cape will be donned.

I do find the months where we can't try a lot easier to deal with than the months we are trying...the disappointment is so hard to take, particularly after having to wait for so long anyway. On my bad days I do wonder if the universe just doesn't want it to happen for us (and I'm not really one for that sort of thing but...) just seems that since we started TTC things have gone so wrong for each of us health wise blah blah blah...But! Today is not a bad day! I am watching lots of men's tennis and lying on the sofa, slowly feeling better...

Anyone got nice plans for the weekend? Mine is pretty empty but I quite like that, time and space for spontaneous fun. :) xx
