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!

Congratulations roodles

AQuarkTooFar · 14/08/2013 18:44

Yay roodles! Dish the dirt, any symptoms?

roodles84 · 14/08/2013 18:45

Thank you all! It feels very strange at the moment - being 4 days late made me very suspicious anyway, and now we're sat here thinking "ok, what do we do now?". Pretty much sit and wait some more...

Symptom-wise not a lot to report. I had a couple of grumpy days and my nips have been tender, but nothing I could differentiate with AF.

We've been very lucky - it's only cycle 2. Just followed the rules of the Fred, dtd cd8,10,11,13,14 and felt ov on cd14 (it's a left hand egg!).

DulcetMoans · 14/08/2013 18:52

Excellent news! Congrats! Just when we started to doubt the power if the Fred!

Wedding planning kinda got in the way of cape donning a lot but hoping to get some action in tonight. In fact I'm waiting in bed now. That's a lie, I'm here thinking about a nap! Lol.

pizzaqueen · 14/08/2013 18:54

I think I no longer belong on this thread Sad ive been indulging in contraband opks, excessively googling and symptom spotting, have a cycle app that i update religiously, take conception vitamins and even bought extra b6 today.

this has gone way beyond JSing Sad I'm ashamed of myself but just can't stop...

lil1ady · 14/08/2013 18:58

pizza i still temp, the control freak in me just has to know for sure when I ov'd. plus dh likes to know when he can stop being used as a baby making machine Sad I think quite a few of us should probably be banished for use of contraband!

fifi669 · 14/08/2013 20:29

pizza there'd be none of us left if we followed that logic

Curly86 · 14/08/2013 21:38

Woo big congratulations to you roodles! How exciting!

I'm still in the cave, I'm still twitting, pretty quiet in the cave, no symptoms except sore boobs which is standard waiting for AF and I feel fat again standard and I keep getting heart burn which I think is just the crap I've eaten,

I've also just got a horrible feeling that My AF isn't going to come and I'm gona skip a cycle which is pretty normal for me but bloody hell is fraustrating cause its cutting down baby making chances!

Nessalina · 14/08/2013 21:42

Yay! Congratulations Roodles! Grin

Minion · 15/08/2013 08:39

Yay roodles
So so happy or you!
I'll be left on my own soon enough in here, maybe I should organise an audition for some new Fred mates?
Shaggers got talent?
The seX factor?

EssieSaysRelax · 15/08/2013 09:30

haha! The seX Factor. Love it. Grin Don't worry Minion. I have a feeling I'll be here for a while to come too as DH and I are useless at shagging at the right time. We binge shag and apparently it doesn't work if you want to get upduff?!

Woooohooo roodles! Fab news. Just when we were all getting disheartened too. I knew it when I logged in, an excessive number of new posts usually indicated a bfp! Keep us updated with how you are doing.

EssieSaysRelax · 15/08/2013 09:32

Pizza, no, you are not banished. Don't go, infact, we won't let you. Your punishment for excessive use of contraband is being shackled in the cave with the unicorn. So now you can't leave us.

DulcetMoans · 15/08/2013 09:53

Oh oh oh, can I be on the sex factor panel? Think I'd be good with the button. 'Its a no from me'. Although I'm a soft touch really so probably yes.

Redshoes56 · 15/08/2013 13:51

roodles - YAY!!!!!!!

pizza - do stay!

I need virtual hand holding, viroids. Today is my fertility specialist appt. DH just started a new job and his a-hole boss gave him a hard time about being out this am (we have 3 days off end of month for my MBA graduation). So, I am going alone and I am nervous....

pizzaqueen · 15/08/2013 14:01

aww red that's so rubbish you have to alone. I hope it goes okay. Holds your hand in support.

ok I will stay but if I start temping that's one step too far and you must all force me to leave.

EssieSaysRelax · 15/08/2013 14:02

oh Red, sorry you are having to go on your own, that sucks about DH's boss. I'm here and can offer cyber hand holding. Do come and let us know how it goes.

I've got EWCM again today. Lots of it. Monday I had loads, then nothing, then loads again today. Better get the cape in the tumble drier ready for tonight!

lil1ady · 15/08/2013 16:54

red that sucks going alone but at least its a step forward. hope it went OK Thanks

UnitedZingDom · 15/08/2013 16:57

Cake anyone?

roodles84 · 15/08/2013 17:12

Thanks guys - this is such a lovely supportive thread, I've really appreciated it the past few months. Hope to see you all on the grads thread soon!

Oh, and I'll pinch a piece of Cake before I head out...

Curly86 · 15/08/2013 17:26

Ok so after yesterday's feeling poop and having no real symptoms today I have been for a wee and had a pink smear on the paper and then the next wee a brown smear and the time after no colour, I'm 9DPO and trying not to get excited as this could be implantation?

Curly86 · 15/08/2013 17:27

And good luck red I really hope you get on ok, maybe DH boss needs a big raspberry at 2 fingers blown at him! Lol

fifi669 · 15/08/2013 19:25

Fingers crossed curly!

nothing with my OPKs yet, not that I'm impatient of course....

Curly86 · 15/08/2013 19:58

I've gone google mad and everything is pointing to implantation bleeding I hope its a good sign gona POAS in the morning :-)

fifi669 · 15/08/2013 20:13

Don't be too down if its BFN, it's early days.... Toes crossed too

pizzaqueen · 15/08/2013 20:20

everything crossed for you curly. I had spotting 10dpo this month and convinced myself it was implantation but it was af making an early appearance, it's hard but try not to get carried away because its so much harder to take in when you realise its not a bfp this month. it might be you r month though!!
