Whether icing, twotting, or in need of a dip in the pity paddling pool, come stroke the friendly orange cave unicorn with us. (Chocolate pretzels are on the house). It's JUST SHAGGING THREAD 17!

[EssieSaysRelax]

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!

Hi refoca I'm a newbie too

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend?

Well I'm definately out this month (although already knew it was coming if im honest) This one has been a weird cycle! I'm usually really regular - 28days, this month on cd30 I started spotting, spotted for a week and now have full blown ERTD!

DH has taken it badly this month we r 24 and 25, dtd 3/4 times a week, we are healthy, don't drink much, he keeps asking me what we are doing wrong?

Who knew it would be this hard!?

[EssieSaysRelax]

Oh great sorry you are out. It is hard. Ttc is certainly the toughest thing DH and I have coped with together and neither of us expected it to be difficult.

I'm having a screwed up cycle too. Think I might go to dr actually. Keep getting a weird fairly mild, but definite pain, in a very precise area low down but in the middle, like a stabby sort of pain for a min or so, then it goes again. Not the usual general crampy ache of ertd and not ov pain cos its not in the right place. Had it a few days, combined with ertd now 4 days late when I thought my cycles had really setted down. Am almost certain I ovved on cd18, and now on cd34. Several bfns and zero pms which is unusual.

Sorry I haven't really lightened the mood either. Did get my cake though. I had marbled rice crispy cake and DH had carrot cake.

[Alohomora]

We're at Dobbie's for tea and scones and retail therapy & there's a 4th birthday party in the corner, and half the moms are pregnant to boot! Bah.

[pizzaqueen]

Hi everyone, finally getting a chance to check in, not managed to read the whole threat yet though. I was away for a night for DPs birthday. Had a lovely time just two of us, but feel more tired than before we left.

We've dtd 5 days in row now!! I don't have the heart to tell DP it probably won't make a baby though as I don't think i'm ov/icing just now. He's been trying so hard bless him. Also don't want to put him off by telling him we don't need to do it everyday. Also been having spotting on and off for the last 3/4 days since af finished . Not sure if I should call the doc he isn't the most approachable guy. But the jsing is fun in itself.

Pizza, good for you on all the JSing! I don't think we've had sex that many days in a row since we were first dating.

ERTD imminent but definitely feeling better today. Staying focused on upcoming appointment. Off to brunch with some girlfriends then driving up to the Boston area for work for two days, so I may be shit at checking on the fred until I am back Tuesday night. Everyone stay positive !

[fifi669]

essie it was glorified karaoke really! Ashton from JLS was in another club too.

[DownstairsMixUp]

Hmm.. the bleeding has stopped now :/ arghh i hate this waiting!

[Minion]

Jetlag brain has struck again. Due n Tomoz, not today. So not Officially late as yet.
But after two naps today and a bout of nausea coupled with windy pops recon she'll be right on time.
Poop stick$!

[DulcetMoans]

I'm due tomorrow too minion but hope has dwindled the closer I got. Guess we will both find out tomorrow.

Sounds like lots of people had lovely weekends though!

[DownstairsMixUp]

Dulcet are you usually quite regular? Will you be testing tomorrow then if your due date is today for af? If so, good luck!

pizzaqueen you never know :) I'm sure your dh has appreciated the 5 days in a row of BDing! :D Don't think I am yet to meet a man to complain about that! Do you have any idea when you last ovulated??

Can anyone PLEASE send me the strength to not test till at least saturday??? I've read loads about implantation bleeds (thanks girls!!) and everyone seems to say it needs a good few days to pick up the hormone on a HPT!

[ChocChaffinch]

keep the faith ttc-ers. it will happen.

[ZingWidge]

BabyZing is15 month old. she crawled to me and sat down next to me.
I was about to say quick prayer, asking that you all might be granted your wishes and be able to have a baby.

After showing her how, I asked her to put her hands together and she did! for the first time ever!
and so we prayed. and when I said "Amen" she looked at me and grinned.

I can do no better than that.?

[Fox82]

Awwww zing that is soooooo sweet

[EssieSaysRelax]

Aww zing that's so sweet. Thank you. I can just imagine a cute little baby zing clapping her little hands together.

[DownstairsMixUp]

Aww zing that's lovely :-)

[EssieSaysRelax]

And now I also have side boob pain

[AuntieMaggie]

I had what I thought was ewcm on monday and then on friday some light bleeding (the day after my ovulation pain stopped) and again today. My cycle is unpredictable but I thought it was longer than 3 or 4 days between them

how do I know when to poas?

[lil1ady]

ah zing and babyzing that is soooo sweet. now we have real "baby" dust to help us with babyzing on the case

downstairs fx it is implantation for you. if it turns out it us I will have qns!

pizza 5 days! r u energizer bunnies?! I'm in awe!

sorry to those with ertd/ertd symptoms...but for those who only have the symptoms Ur not out yet so fx!

[DownstairsMixUp]

auntie if your thinking it's implantation bleeding, I've read at least 7 days after the bleed should be enough to get a + HPT. I had a slight bleed today which has now stopped, and ovulated 22nd of july so won't test till the end of this week at least.

[DownstairsMixUp]

Thanks lil1ady i'm trying to hold out to test till late next week as everywhere seems to say you won't get a + till a week after it!

[Bearfacedchic]

Ah Zing- thank you. That's so sweet. I hope someone's listening.

Yep, if it's implantation you need to wait a while, at least 7 days, until you get a positive. Apparently the hormone will only be at levels that can be detected by then. Got everything crossed for you!

I'm getting some weird feelings in the nether regions. Not pain, but just what I can only describe as movement! It's probably just wind though . . .

[Nessalina]

Aww Zing that's so darn cute! All prayers gratefully received!
Sounds like loads of you have some very positive symptoms, really hope our first Fred BFP is on the way!
Don't think I'll be getting my cape on tonite, waaay too sleepy, how lame is that?!

[Alohomora]

I don't know, I have three apps to help me figure stuff out and they give me different predictions - not that helpful!

pizza, respect! I'm not sure we could keep that up!

downstairs, stay away from those pee sticks, you're not to go near them yet!

I am sore in the nethers and can't figure out whether it's ERTD or just overuse.

I just got a text from my mom, my cousin had her baby boy! Next cousin is due in about 2-3 weeks or so.

[Bearfacedchic]

It is nearly midnight though Nessa so don't really blame you! So set the alarm and get up early instead. Don't forget now!

I've been getting ewcm with spotting the last few hours. Gah- come on body; make your mind up!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better one for us all and even better for those already content!

[Bearfacedchic]

Oh no - past midnight by the time I posted!
