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!

Do another later tonight? Or tomorrow? It could be nothing.... It could be everything :)

Nessalina · 10/08/2013 13:58

I'm 11dpo and due on tomorrow btw! Just got my DH to have a look, and he can see the line, but was all like 'don't get your hopes up' kinda thing... Not that he knows a thing about HPTs Hmm

Nessalina · 10/08/2013 14:38

Ok, just squeezed out a lil' wee to do a fresh one, and there is definitely a ghostly line!!! Shock Gonna go get a super duper test to do tomorrow morning!

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 15:28

Squeeee- exciting Nessa! Got everything crossed for you.

Well, I didn't say anything yesterday but I got a faint second line on an IC. Bizarrely I did the same thing as Nessa and went back and checked a test in the bin, but then thought it was probably just an evaporation line. But then today I did an ov test as I've run out of IC hpts and that had a second line too. DH keeps saying and I also feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up, and I keep telling myself Ertd will arrive very soon, but I saw a second line. Urgh- turmoil!

Nessalina · 10/08/2013 15:56

OMG Bear! Faint line excitement! Grin Fx & tx for the both of us then! When can you test with an HPT? I'm just in the car on the way back from spending a small fortune on bathroom tiles, gonna call into Boots & get a first response and a digital!

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 16:19

Oh bear I am on the edge ofy seat with excitement for you! and four nessa I have everything crossed. they do say a line is a line.....!

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 16:20

omg so many typos! u get the gist tho!

fifi669 · 10/08/2013 16:20

go out and get more tests now!

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 16:35

I'll get a test tomorrow if Ertd hasn't turned up. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm so sure it's going to be a bfn and I want to give any Hcg time to build up, if there is indeed any. It took a while for the second line to appear on the opk.

DH just keeps looking at me like he won't even entertain the idea which admittedly has calmed me down and made me be realistic, but it's also a little bit heartbreaking as its like he doesn't think it will ever happen.

In the symptom spotting cave I am weeing a fair amount though and felt exhausted when I woke up after 9 hours' sleep this morning. I also got a cold last week and have had what I thought was the start of Ertd cramps but nothing has appeared. Yet. Don't feel much different though.
Good luck Nessa!

Nessalina · 10/08/2013 16:41

Clearblue Digi purchased, but I'm with you Bear, I'm sitting on my hands til tomorrow to give best possible BFP chance. Can't stand it!! Lol. Impatient much? Smile
Symptom wise I have been a bit more emotional than usual, though I put it down to PMT - I cried when the girls got picked for the show in an old episode of ANTM! Blush Boobs are sore, but that's normal pre-ERTD...

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 16:47

all good signs. I'm off to fetch uni out if the cave to bring you some luck

Minion · 10/08/2013 17:28

Fingers and toes crossed for you girls xx

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 17:29

I think as fecking usual I may have been a bit premature. Think I may be about to start spotting with Ertd imminent. Will keep you posted. Feck. Sad

Nessalina · 10/08/2013 17:59

Aww Bear Sad Really hope it's not! Thanks

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 18:27

aww bear its not over til its over. didn't downstairs think AF had showed but still got bfp? hang in there x

cookielove · 10/08/2013 18:40

Fx Smile bear and nessa!

Alohomora · 10/08/2013 20:12

nessa bear I have my fingers crossed for you!!!! Maybe tomorrow will be the day for you Flowers

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 20:18

Thanks guys, but I'm out again. Spotting has started so it's coming. Don't know what those two lines were about then. Poor DH looked crestfallen when I told him. Sad

On the

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 20:22

Stoopid fingers!! On the plus side it does mean that I can do my blood tests and HSG before starting at my new job so I don't have to ask for time off, which is more difficult than you'd expect for a teacher.

I think this month was our best chance. I know when I ov'd and we had sex loads around the time and it still hasn't worked. Sigh. DH has gone to buy chocolate. Yum.

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 20:30

sorry bearThanks I'm still keeping fingers crossed for you tho cos spotting is not AF. its not cd1 until there's full flow.

ZingWidge · 10/08/2013 21:38

oh bear! Thanks

so brave of you to look at the silver lining, I really admire you for that! (hugs)

Bearfacedchic · 10/08/2013 23:40

Bizarrely, what I thought was ertd has now disappeared or at least gone into hiding. I thought it was about to start and probably still will but then stopped very abruptly. Confused I wish my body would do one thing it the other with some sense of regularity.

lil1ady · 10/08/2013 23:52

when r u going to test again bear

Bearfacedchic · 11/08/2013 00:05

lil - Think I'm just going to wait for Ertd to turn up and if it doesn't then maybe tomorrow afternoon. I need to know really as I could potentially need to do a day 2 blood test on Monday morning before hot-footing if out of the country Monday pm.

Minion · 11/08/2013 08:42

bear I'm still hopeful for you!
