Conception

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.

Hello ladies. New Fred, nice. Could do with some homely touches. unfurls throw

Please excuse my laziness in not going back to checking the whole convo so far. Had a week of classroom learning for my new job and my head is a shed. Breastfeeding support training today so if you need any tips when you get your BFPs you know where to come. Grin

ERTD buggered off on Saturday so cape has been back on twice so far this week and I'm on a promise for tonight.lol

Bear Enjoy your break.

Hi newbies and booooo to those who ERTD got.

That's right gary! Something I've picked up on the rounds of my job. Meant to be for five mini highlighters but actually great shape for peeing in. Doubt they thought of that when designing it!

Hoping for a sex filled weekend here. And it's Eurovision, we both love Eurovision!

I recommend anything that tempts the fate of impregnation! Bulk buying, holidays, or wedding planning in my case! Sod's law has to work in our favour at some point, surely?!

Sat eating another wispa.

Either AF is early (exactly a week) or it might be implantation bleeding???? Haven't said those words out loud but second time I've said it on here. If u don't say it out loud that's alright isn't it?????

Well Ertd arrived with a vengeance at lunchtime. Really bloody painful but now at least I know for sure. It really did come on very suddenly and (tmi alert!) cery heavy with big clots. I normally get days of build up so thinking that maybe Gary was right and perhaps it was a bit of a chemical one. Oh we'll, guess I'll never know.

We're away in a lovely peaceful place oop north near the peaks. Here to see friends. Got to see my preggers friend tomorrow but feeling okay about it I think. Just had a lovely pub dinner and treated myself to some vino. There are some pluses...

Hi to mrsRv and Dulcet

Hope everyone has a nice weekend too! Enjoy Eurovision x

Well ertd for me is due around the 27th and we go on our hols in the 29th so if the law of sod would like to intervene I reckon I could forgive and forget on that occasion! I've also tried to encourage DP to propose but he just rolls his eyes at me!

Hope u have a lovely wknd away Bear and seeing as u have to see your preggars friend whilst ertd is in full flow you should at least have a case of vino!

Gary I use the Fertility Friend App, it's quite good, but my stats have been input after using a whole world of contraband......I have no contraband left now btw and will do utmost to not buy any Hmm

Hi everyone, I'm back fro. the sunshine Grin

Loving the sparkly new thread... and bear I hope it brings the bfp dust with it for you for this cycle. was getting really excited for you reading through the last weeks posts. can someone please explain to me what a chemical preg is?

So much has happened since I have been away so please forgive me for not addressing everyone. instead I'm just going to wave and say hi to the newbies... "Hi" Smile

I can't copy and paste the whole role call as on my phone and I'm a bit behind anyway so...

name: lil1ady
TTC: #1 since Nov 12...how is it 7 months already?!

Well going by the pant snot and the -god awful- pains I think I ov'd today which is early for me on cd23. last 2 cycles have been cd31 ish. and as it tied in with holiday I'm feeling quite hopeful as we got plenty of cape action in whilst we were away. haven't managed today though as we landed at 2.35am and have been feeling crap all day. will be hoping to pull cape out of suitcase tomorrow though to keep all bases covered.

it was nice to be away with no contact with the -mother- real world as it gave me time to think about why I want a baby and to make sure its for me and dh not for my family and the rest if the world! the jealousy of all the preggo women I kept seeing EVERYWHERE was quite a give away that I am doing this for the right reasons!

Well I hope everyone is well, and promise to keep up properly now I'm back Smile

Ooops! Definitely looked like a positive, and combined with the extra awful ERTD I'd say that was a chemical pregnancy. Although its shit, at least you know that yours and DH's bits are all working!

Chemical pregnancy for those who asked is basically where the egg is fertilised but doesn't implant properly so you may get an early positive test but then a heavy period around the time or a few days later than ERTD due. It's almost an early miscarriage but not quite, and if you're not an early tester/symptom spotter you may never know if you've experienced one.

Rockchick1984 · 17/05/2013 22:49

Ice some people (not all) experience spotting when the fertilised egg implants into the womb lining. I've never experienced it but apparently is quite common.

Babies actually are EVERYWHERE lil! I even have two pregnant bridesmaids!

So think I'm in 2ww, 12 days til ERTD due but still feel something going on down there. Not sure if I've ov'd even. I have all the feels but none of the knowledge to understand what it means!

Thanks for the explanation of chemical pregnancy rock, I learn so much on here!

dulcet hats off to you coping with 2 pregnant bridesmaids....glad its not just me seeing babies and bumps galore!

MrsRV you may be in danger of needing a hooya?! I know what u mean though, if the witch is going to show she could at least have the courtesy to show up on time!

it seems I may have brought the sunshine back with me...although not the temperatures but at least I can get all the washing dry!

bear I am so disappointed for you - relax and enjoy your weekend, and keep with the positivity.

Agree on the FF app, perkins - it's a good way to keep track of notes and dates if nothing else.

I haven't been feeling very positive. So, I am trying to approach things a bit holistically. I switched to organic meats and organic whole milk after doing some research on natural hormone regulation. Actually, I have to wonder if that's what helped increased my luteal phase from 9 to 10 days - guess I am going to keep it up. I guess it makes sense if the poor "regular" cows are being pumped full of estrogen. It's almost enough to make me a vegetarian. Almost. Grin

I am going to try a little detox again next week - couple of days sans sugar, caffeine, carbs and meat. I made it 2 and a half days last time.

Gutted for you Bear. So flipping annoying when your body throws a wobbly at you, but it could have been a chemical one with that faint line. I hope it doesn't put a dampner on the weekend.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. I am looking forward to watching dr Who and eating moar chocolate....nom nom nom

Needing a massive HOOYA!!! here please! I'm only on CD16 (although had EWCM on CD9, stupid post-miscarriage WTF cycle) and I'm already symptom spotting. Had mild back pain and lots of gas, which were the 2 things that made me test last time I had BFP but its far too early isn't it?
