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 Envy 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!

pizza u could try tempt him tonight and if no luck force him tomorrow!

well I mentioned dh taking a bit more charge and he got sulky. I'm not going to bother this month though. its his turn. if he wants a baby he can damn well try and make it happen for a change! then when we DTD all month and AF shows up to disappoint him I will be able to say I told you so and maybe then he will understand. I have too much going on at work to be dressing about TTC as well.

on the plus side though I seem to be back to my pre pill days of very little cramping throughout AF. thank god for that!

Essie hope the redundancy talk wasn't too awful. here Wine Thanks

good luck to the twotters. I like the sound of chic pop corn!

off to design a new cape for when the control freak I really am can't live with dh doing nothing for the ttc cause for a month

Curly86 · 02/08/2013 17:16

Good luck pizza it's Friday night I'm sure you can tempt your dp into a little something! But I agree if it doesn't work force him tomorrow, or threaten if he doesn't do it tonight he has to do it twice tomorrow?

My cape is off on the floor and has been trampled! Yesterday had EWCM dtd and today I'm dry as a bone (tmi) and have period pains :-/ ERTD must be imminent although on the plus side means I will have had a 28 day cycle! -don't get hopes up as body does what it bloody wants-

pizzaqueen · 02/08/2013 17:54

ah ok so I told him it was peak baby making time and he's got all pissed off with me for complicating things Sad he jusy doesn't get thay window of opportunity he seems to think anytime you shag you can get preggers. gah! hes working til 11 anyway.

Curly86 · 02/08/2013 19:30

How frustrating, hopefully last nights rumpy has done the trick; men are funny it's not complicating it; it's making it easier if anything, saves having to have non baby-making sex all month :-) my OH now stays out of our en suite as the OPK, prenatal vitamins, wee pots and various other naughty contraband frighten him, he says its over thinking and scaring nature! I think he's doesn't like the I'd of a wee stick in the same room as his toothbrush! Wine for pizza

fifi669 · 02/08/2013 20:55

I may have ERTD but work have asked me to work extra days, I've opted for just one more per week and negotiated a 2k full time equivalent pay increase! Winner!

lil1ady · 02/08/2013 22:41

congrats on the rise Fifi excellent news!

oh pizza men are just so clueless! have you had a proper talk with him? could he still be grieving a bit over the mc?

curly the mental image I have of your en suite which in the picture in my head is my mums en suite cos I don't have one has made me chuckle. as for scaring nature, pah! we're not scaring it, we're coaxing it out!Grin

Wheredidmyyouthgo · 02/08/2013 23:02

Thank you for the welcome, hope all are having a relaxing night tonight!

I know this is ridiculous as I'm only (about) 5dpo, but my boobs feels stingy. As of last night. And they never feel sore / stingy. I think I'm being daft. In fact I'm sure I am. Someone slap me?!

Redshoes56 · 03/08/2013 01:51

Hi ladies! I had so much to do when I got back from my business trip. Just now settling in. I won't pretend to catch up on everything. ERTD has come and gone so, new month, new cape! (This one is a naughty schoolgirl theme, I have decided, since my DH just started his masters program.) Happy weekend, all.

Curly86 · 03/08/2013 07:38

lil the en suite resembles a science lab I will be honest I'm thinking of getting one o those yellow hazard bins the hospital have just to finish it off

cookielove · 03/08/2013 08:21

essie hello hello hello life is good. Well for me at least. Dh had caught my work sickness bug. Urgh were meant to be given away tomorrow !!

I have everything x for you downstairs weird spotting could be implantation?

tempting dp didn't work last night, we had a bit of an arguement about me putting too much pressure on things / him not being serious enough about it and I was too upset with him to even contemplate dtd and pretended to be asleep when he got home. Maybe wed/thurs sperms will make it, although I don't hold much hope...its wait and see time now. fed up with this whole thing already, all the waiting and its only cycle 1!!

Curly86 · 03/08/2013 15:33

downstairs no ERTD, all pain has gone, some CM but not loads, think it will be another 50 day cycle, have agreed with OH that we should try to Dtd at least every other day for next 2 weeks as I'm thinking I should ovulate at some point as on 50day cycle AF is due 25th August, although am seriously doubting letting him father my children after he referred to me as a sperm whale, and a spunk bowzer! (Apparently a bowzer is a lorry that transports fuel?) OH thinks he is a comedian I think he's a prick

I started using OPKs and used them pretty much everyday for the first 3 weeks of my cycle all to be negative, have worked out if the theory of AF starts 14 days after OV then I should OV Tuesday, which doesn't explain the period pains I've had last couple of days, I'm checking my CM, hate peeing on any kind of stick to just get a neg result even The OPK makes me feel a failure! So JS for me, and OH should be more grateful although all romance has gone out of TE window and think he's feeling "used" hahaha

Redshoes56 · 03/08/2013 18:19

curly laughing re: bowzer. They really should be grateful for all the extra loving, no? Men!!

Curly86 · 03/08/2013 18:53

Tell me about it red I guess the sweet justice comes when I finally get a BFP and don't have to do it! Then he will be the spunk bowzer!

is anyone doing the SMEP ? it worked for me Smile

best of luck shaggers! go to it!

cookielove · 04/08/2013 07:50

Smep also worked for me Grin

(Google Sperm meets egg plan)

There's a pick on my profile of my one and only + opk that ledvme to getting up duffed if you wanna see what a + one looks like Smile

lil1ady · 04/08/2013 09:59

morning all

we were going to do smep last month but dh was hopeless.

hopefully trying it again this month. I've downloaded my app onto dh's phone and logged it all in so he can see when we r likely to have to get busy! I'm hoping if he feels more prepared it will happen!

funny that ppl are saying AF has been a short visit this month, cd3 here and she seems to be packing already i will probably regret saying that, maybe she's just changing cases I wonder if its the weather or something.

hope everyone has nice plans for the day. dinner at my mums tonight and my aunty no one likes will be there grrr
