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.

essie, the month I got pg we only shagged too early (like days 6,9, 11) and I still got upduffed. But then that was the BOOB's magic touch... FX for peeing! Smile. Hope everyone's well... Xxx

essie81 · 21/05/2013 12:56

Hi MrsAVB! How are you?!

Thanks for encouragement, but thing is I know we dtd 5 days before I ovved cos I used contraband so I know exactly my dates for this cycle (first and probably only time ever!). Then dh got the flipping groin strain and spent the next 8 days hobbling round the house in his pants with an ice pack strapped to his upper thigh. Grin AND, I didn't listen to the boob at all during this time, so conception is pretty much impossible. Plus I have zero symptoms if I'm honest. I'm more irritated than anything that this has thrown my dates out totally and now I won't be ovving during our beach hol!
If not ERTD by Sat though I promise I will pee on the golden stick.

MrsRV hope Mum Club is fun and hope there was cake!!

xx

MrsAVB · 21/05/2013 14:48

I have turned into a vomming machine essie, it's not pretty, but will (FX) be worth it (I mean FX I won't lose the baby not FX baby will be nice enough to be worth vomming). X

essie81 · 21/05/2013 15:25

Oh no, sorry to hear that MrsAVB, hope you are feeling less vomtastic soon!

So I caved and ordered more ic's so I am now not restricted to The Last Pee Stick In The Universe. Will piar tonight cos just looked on my app and realised we jsed on the sunday night, then I got a +opk on the following weds. Or maybe I ought to wait and use fmu tomorrow. Argh. Want to bury head in sand!

frogchops · 21/05/2013 19:39

Phew I found you. That was a tense moment of thread searching in the middle of a bear poas drama!!

Bearface · 21/05/2013 19:50

Oh no Frog - sorry to disappoint! Drama is now well and truly over, but I think someone else may be in need of the drama crown soon, no Essie?! Wink

I'm currently participating in the very dangerous sport of online shoe shopping!!!! Someone stop me now before I buy every shoe there is and clean out my bank account.

frogchops · 21/05/2013 20:03

Oh my life.... Breathe out. I looked at the drama on thread 14 thinking it was live!! Blush
I was convinced for you! Ertd is ultra cruel when it throws a visible line into the mix!
And don't always think its evap line....even the invisible to the naked eye ones!! My figment of my imagination, only visible to immortals line is now wriggling around like a ferret inside me! Most peculiar!

coffeewineandchocolate · 21/05/2013 20:14

passes around the wine and chocolate caramels

DulcetMoans · 21/05/2013 21:04

I bought some virtual chocolate buttons too.

Can't believe I still have 10 days to go. What is up with that?! All sorts of feelings going on inside me!

essie81 · 21/05/2013 21:19

Erm, so I just gave away the last pee stick. Friend getting married in 5 weeks (I'm bridesmaid - that's a whole other drama!), she turns up at my house in bits, thinks she's up duff so I put her out of her misery, but left me squirming in mine! Still no ertd.

Thanks for chox coffee, better stay off wine til I know where I'm at!

Ooh bear I love shoes, are they for any special occasion or just cos shoes are life enhancing?

I just had pie for tea :-)

essie81 · 21/05/2013 21:21

Ooh and buttons. Makes up for no wine!

lil1ady · 21/05/2013 21:59

Chocolate chip muffins and a cup of tea here....but the study books are out so needed.

Essie the giving up of the golden pee stick is a sign you should wait til Saturday to test! fx your wait will be rewarded.

Dulcet I have 10 days of tww to go too. are we going to be synchro peeing?

bear shoes are a woman's right. I bought 13 pairs last month! first big shopping spree in years!

hi to mrsAVB and frog hope everything is good besides the vomit!

mrsAVB have you got the boobs new album yet? I got it the day it cane out and haven't stopped playing it since!

well back to the studying choc chip muffins I go!

lil1ady · 21/05/2013 22:01

oh and Andie hope the bump envy wasn't too bad.

mrsRV poas too early usually just means more questions! enjoy the hope! fx for you if you do pee though Smile

Perkins1 · 21/05/2013 22:08

Plonks self down and pours last bit of wine.

Oh Essie your good deed means we have to wait longer now! Smile i take it said friend wasn't upduffed? (On another note I'm loving vomtastic!)

Beautiful sentiments yesterday Li1ady when you get down about TTC.

Apologies, but despite having just read all the new posts I can't scroll and so can't check who said it but there's a better way of putting that into English I'm sure?! whomever was avoiding a pregnant friend/saying they should really go see them, I found myself in a similar boat....about 9 months ago actually! My BF got pregnant super easily and I found it really difficult because she had talked about how she didn't really want DC's there was a morning after pill incident anyway I felt all this envy and anger towards her until she had the baby and it pretty much went away because he was just this little innocent being that I couldn't be angry about. A few weeks later I managed to tell her how I had felt and she really appreciated me doing this, gave me a big hug and said she fully understood. I guess I'm trying to say that if they're a good friend that knows what's going on with your TTC journey then they'll understand and that it's not too bad, it's the thought of being with pregnant people that's worse than actually being with them.

Wow..you all asleep yet in a wine, chocolate and rambling coma??

Last thing I promise: Got my progesterone results today and they were 100.6 (you should know I take 50mg Clomid and had 2 days worth of progesterone supplements in that) but without the drugs my last results were 30 so something is working!

Perkins1 · 21/05/2013 22:10

13 pairs of shoes! Shock

DulcetMoans · 21/05/2013 22:21

Jeez, that's probably more shoes than I own lil! You must have needed cheering up! Happy to sync the POAS, can't remember without checking app, is it 30th? Feels so far away!

Dying to know what happened with the BF POAS essie, don't keep us in suspense!

lil1ady · 21/05/2013 23:18

31st here dulcet but will probably wait until 1st as that's the Saturday.

yes 13 pairs of shoes....I had just finished watching the entire sex and the city box set so it was fuelled by carries obsession with monolo blahneks or however you spell it

is it bad that I'm already Googling potential symptoms this early on?! why can't there just be a traffic light system on your belly after you have had sex! would be so much easier!

lil1ady · 21/05/2013 23:20

sorry on phone... meant to say thanks Perkins and Grin at the good progesterone result! you must be feeling a bit happier with that

Rockchick1984 · 22/05/2013 00:13

Lil the whole Sod's law thingy should have worked for you then - it's a common pregnancy side effect to go up a shoe size and not go back to normal Sad I had the most amazing collection of size 4's before having DS that all had to be charity shopped once I decided to accept the evidence (my feet, and a few mumsnet threads) that they were never going to squeeze back into them!

GnomieGrace · 22/05/2013 06:46

Hi can I join you're Fred?

GnomieGrace
DC's: zero
TTC since: 12th May

I know I'm early in my TTC journey but you're Fred looked so warm and inviting I wanted to jump in feet first.
So I'm a newly wed (less than 3 months) and me and DH have decided to TTC. So off the pill I came, Cerrazette, and we are trying without the aid of Contraband. I just don my shagging cape every other day, I have an app to track ERTD and supposed OV days but been on pill so many years that there is no way that I will sync to it. I'm on CD8 and the app has me OV on CD15 so my shaggathon has just begun-groovy!

I too have a shoe problem, in fact my boss made me bring all my extra pairs home yesterday and they were starting to spill out of the cupboard, 4 pairs I bought home!

Sorry to ramble being new to Fred and all, good luck to all those in 2ww and shagadelic to all those donning capes this week!

IceNoSlice · 22/05/2013 07:28

ERTD for me... So I'm out (in the style of Duncan Bannatyne).

But trying to see this as a positive. Hadn't had ERTD for 18 months (since getting upduffed with DS). Think it was the BF which I've now completely stopped in order to TTC (feel very Sad about that actually). But anyway, this means everything is in working order, right?

So not sad to have ERTD... Honest Sad

lil1ady · 22/05/2013 07:48

Hi gnomie . good luck coming off the pill. I was on it for 10 years and was really messed up when I came off it. I wish someone had told me how unpredictable it could be. I came off it last sept and haven't been ov until CD 31 until this cycle when i ov at cd23 so I'm hoping if no bfp this month that I might start ov a little earlier again next cycle. I hope you are one of the lucky ones but like i said, I wish someone had warned me!

congratulations on the wedding. did you go any where nice for your honeymoon?

rock I hope you are right about the sods law. I think last month I was OK with tww as I wasn't keen on an early Jan due date but this cycle I'm like a woman possessed!

ice sorry ertd got you ...I think! but sounds like you are getting back to normal. at least now you will have some idea when to test!

happy Wednesday everyone!

AQuarkTooFar · 22/05/2013 08:08

Morning all and welcome to all the newbies!

Hope everyone is feeling better after lots of wine and chocolate last night and sorry to those for which ertd has turned up.

News in the quark household, at last wee before bed last night when I wiped I had pinky mucus stuff which I have never had before. I got very cross as ertd is not due for another 8 days and this would be the shortest cycle I have ever had. Dh said it was probably due to losing weight. But.....nothing on my pad this morning and nothing when I wipe. Feeling a bit crampy but nothing else. What is wrong with my body! Just when I thought I had it sussed! Oh and I had little to no sex this month so not expecting to be up duffed.

AQuarkTooFar · 22/05/2013 08:51

Sorry for the tmi there!

GnomieGrace · 22/05/2013 08:56

Hi Lil, I was warned that it can be extremely unpredictable coming off, I haven't had an ERTD for 4 years so god knows what state my oven is in! I have heard some horror stories, one lady had a bleed for 63 days! One didn't bleed for a year! Extreme cases! I'm not expecting much upduffedness for a few months but if Ye Olde Law of Sods does indeed factor into this late last week I was offered an exciting project on the work front, after no movement for years suddenly get a great opportunity, as soon as I focus on baby making!
