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.

Happy shagging shaggers!

nessa

it's obviously your decision, but I think you should wait till Saturday (sorry!Smile )
it is so likely to be bfn at this stage, unless you ovulated very early this cycle - I just want to spare you the unnecessary disappointment!
especially that you have symptoms that could easily be early signs of baby!

with DS2 I was 3 weeks overdue when I gotvmy 1st bfp- due to ovulating very late I happened to get pg the day before I expected AF!

so try and wait a few more days lovely, what do you think?

although if you go with tomorrow do say what time so I can have fx for youWink ( and pompoms/tissues at the ready)

ChocChaffinch · 15/07/2013 14:43

people, do you reckon morning JSing makes any difference to evening? ie on the last chance days on/after Ovving?
because theoretically morning could be v early, ie 12+hours before the evening..? Yet it all ''counts'' as the same day., so round ovving be better to do it in the mornings?

Am cogitating on this all sooo much.

yes, loved the bunting Grin
Good signs, Nessa fingers firmly corssed for you. If you have sticks to spare I'm all in favour of having a ''practise pee''

I dreamed last night I was eating a rotten prawn sandwich: now is that a sign...??? or just a sign it's too ruddy hot

Bearfacedchic · 15/07/2013 16:07

Congratulations Andie! Grin Grin Grin I'm sooo chuffed for you.

We were away for the weekend doing fun stuff, so I've only just caught up with the fred. Unfortunately had to listen to my friend telling me how quickly she got preggers despite abusing her body - being overweight, smoking and drinking and having done recreational drugs in the past Hmm I had a nice time, but all everyone wanted to talk about was their babies. Yawned and cried in secret 'cos I don't have one

Got my fingers crossed for those POASing and wanting their BFP really soon although I know we all do DO IT PEOPLE! Pee! Pee!

Hello to Auntie! What does your cape look like? (Have you even got one yet?) I also wondered how you know that you have PCOS without being tested?

Babylann - I'm trying to do that as I suspect I have PCOS, but don't seem to be able to lose any weight, despite eating healthily and exercising like a maniac. Hmm Thanks for the advice though.

Zing - beautiful bunting! Must have taken you ages Grin Well done on becoming Official Mascot #2 of the Just Shagging Fred. A highly coveted title. Uni is the unicorn we found adopted and made into our mascot. I can't remember who found it - maybe Hooya or GaryBuseysTeeth quite a few Freds ago now. We stroke him when in need of comfort and pass him round as needs be like the class pet.

ERTD still in da house here. Grrrrr. Still a long way to go yet though.

Hello everyone else! Smile

Bearfacedchic · 15/07/2013 16:10

Choc - my understanding is that when you get a positive OPK the signs of ov, then you are between 12 and 36 hours away from oving. Sperm can live for up to 5 days in EWCM so as long as you DTD just before and around the time of ov then you should be fine whether morning or evening. You could do it twice in a day to be sure Grin, but the second go will probably have reduced quality of sperm, (as it takes time to build up to good levels), which is why the Sexperts say to do it EOD so that you get good quality man juice.

Hi Downstairs! Welcome.

ZingWidge · 15/07/2013 16:40

bear

I'm going to google about the sperm build up - that is brand new info to me!

I was under the impression that it really doesn't matter about saving up or going on a snagging spree as sperm is being produced "on demand" so to speak!
Therefore the more you DTD the more likely to get BFP!

Am I wrong?Shock I could be!
bear with....Wink

As #2 mascot I feel it is my responsibility to research this.

ZingWidge · 15/07/2013 16:42

*shagging spree

not snagging....
twatphone

Bearfacedchic · 15/07/2013 16:51

Ouchy - 'snagging spree'! Shock

roodles84 · 15/07/2013 16:56

Yay congrats Andie! Well done for waiting for 4 days late!

ERTD turned up Friday night for me so I had a vino or two on Saturday to cheer myself up. [Wine]

This was our first try and we didn't start until a bit late, so I've now got a few days to make a cape and then get busy! DH didn't seem too upset at the prospect of more sex...

Bearfacedchic · 15/07/2013 17:03

Well, Zing, there's this but also, there's this

Hope this works!

ZingWidge · 15/07/2013 17:49

thanks Bear very interesting!

so there's the low sperm count issue - wait for 36 hours before next DTD for a good build up - that I didn't know about!

but the first article pointed out about the issue of sperm quality, which is what I knew about and was unwittingly referring to!

I just love it that we are both right!Grin

DTd is the last thing on my mind in this weather!!!

However, AF is due in a week and I'm counting down the days to see if it arrives!!!

Hopefully not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChocChaffinch · 15/07/2013 18:26

who's gonna feed their man frolic acid??
btw I call it 'sweet FA'

ie. sweet folic acid.

Grin trying to get dh to eat broccoli is damn hard. may sneak pills into his pie..
Nessalina · 15/07/2013 18:33

Hehe Zing thanks for being the voice of reason! Smile
You're right of course, I'm fully aware that it will probably be a BFN either way tomorrow, it's just so damned tempting! (Lol at 'practise pee' Choc!!)
As the new official 2nd mascot & good luck charm, I shall attempt will power and heed your advice... at least til Friday, I can pee Friday right?!?! Grin

ZingWidge · 15/07/2013 18:43

Nessa

about Friday...hmmm....I haven't decided yet if I shall be strict matronly mascot or a softie-softie one.Grin

I'll go for: wait till Saturday morning!
patience is a virtue I do not possess and you'd better start practicing! Wink

but if you feel pg symptoms are getting stronger I will allow Friday morning. Grin

ChocChaffinch · 15/07/2013 18:46

we will probably respect a matronly mascot, and walk all over a softie zing Grin Grin Grin

PrincessKitKat · 15/07/2013 18:54

Should men have frolic Choc?!
I just put DHs zinc on the table with his dinner. He then has the choice of actively rebelling or just swallowing the stuff - he takes option 2 for an easy life Smile

The weather does not help at all. All I've heard since he came in us how hot and sticky he is and which bits of his body are sticking to which other bits of his body! It's not helping me feel in the mood!

I didn't know about the blokes having FA either. Is that a thing? Not that he would ever do it!

cookielove · 15/07/2013 19:33

Dh is still ill

Although he does say we can still do it so silver lining and all that Smile

Me and dh dtd on the day we got a positive opk and the next but haven't done it since although feeling positive about it this month!!

Good to see more neeeeeewbbies!!

ZingWidge · 15/07/2013 19:42

choc

I think I go for matronly (but kind!) as you have the Unicorn already to be the softie! Grin

AuntieMaggie · 15/07/2013 19:48

Thank you for the encouragement ladies :)

I know what you mean by the timing of getting/being pregnant. We've been asked to go on holiday with a group of friends in May and having no idea if I will be pregnant, have a baby or still be trying I don't know whether to put the deposit down or not!

babylann I had really bad ovulation pain with my PCOS because of the cysts but I didn't have them on the pill. I have lost some weight but have also been told that losing weight increases your chances so will be looking to lose weight at the same time as ttc.

Bearfacedchic I meant I haven't been tested to see if I actually ovulate - I've had tests and scans to diagnose the PCOS (and actually because of certain 'markers' my gynae says he could've diagnosed me by looking at me!)

ChocChaffinch · 15/07/2013 20:01

zing! I need a biscuit intervention! help!
