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.

The link to Part 17 is here

Happy shagging shaggers!

no grad thread link sorry, can someone else add this please?

All this high soft cervix marlarky.... How do you know?

DulcetMoans · 26/09/2013 22:46

So sorry quark, not what anyone wanted to happen. Hope you feel ready to try again soon. We will be here to cheer when you do!

Good news on the radiologist though red, hope it leaves you feeling positive.

I cant be bothered with bbt either pizza but I am defo too concerned with the contents of my knickers than is healthy. Makes going to the loo exciting though, what might I find?!

Legs in the air now, trying not to cough!

lil1ady · 27/09/2013 07:47

here's some stories about my dh to make you all laugh/smile this morning

  1. he keeps saying out loud presumably talking to sod that it would be really bad if I got up duffed this month as he has no work lined up atm
  1. he has been talking to my ovaries telling them to send a good egg and find his swimmers hopefully sod didn't hear that one very sweet was that he also told the egg to find a girl swimmer cos he knows I'd like a girl!

I think it gets to the men as much as us after all, they just don't normally show it!

hopefully we will have another bfp on here soon to cheer us all up.

Wine for everyone Grin

Hi everyone.

Good news Red - yay! We needed some on here.

What a sad week its been on our fred. Sad

Flowers and Brew and Cake and Wine for those going through sad times right now.

Breadsticks still really sore, but no ERTD. Not poa nother s yet, can't be arsed because I know what it will say. I reckon I ovved v late, that somehow, because I was stressing about my colp, my body held off til after that, and I ovved about then? I was in a right flap about it so it's possible?

Yeah, how do people tell what their cervix is doing? I only know mine is mutilated because I've been and had a camera shoved up there. No way I can tell what it's doing myself?! Don't fancy going poking around in there either.

Anyone got nice weekend plans? I'm going to see Rush at the cinema tonight. Not really into racing cares but DH has somehow pursuaded me it'll be really good.

pizzaqueen · 27/09/2013 13:57

Get ready for my total overshare, look away now if you don't want to know!

I have to admit I've started checking my cervix this cycle Blush . It's perhaps slightly easier as I've given birth before to a massive over 9 pounder so things have never been quite the same since then and more accessible than it used to beBlush . (there's something to put you off ttc right there Wink ).

I have noticed very subtle changes high/low, soft/hard...but can't tell if it's just my imagination wanting me to find something different. It also seems slightly off to one side and I don't know if thats normal or not....

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 27/09/2013 14:00

You are braver than me pizza, I'm way too scared to prod about incase I break something else. I wouldn't know which bit was my cervix if I found it anyway! Blush

AuntieMaggie · 27/09/2013 16:07

Still no ertd here. Spent the morning with lots of lovely babies/toddlers feeling really broody. Perhaps I should start feeling my cervix...

FurryScoob · 27/09/2013 16:45

Oh no, what a sad week Wine for everyone this weekend!
This lucky unicorn needs a kick up the backside it's not being very lucky anymore.

I should be icing next at the end of next week but had pink cm this morning, anybody else had this? Should I be worried or putting my cape on & jumping on DP?

fifi669 · 27/09/2013 17:01

pizza do you just pop in a finger and fish about?

lil1ady · 27/09/2013 18:45

furry get shagging!

I've tried to see if I can tell changes in my cervix but I can't tell anything more than high or low so I stopped bothering!

pizzaqueen · 27/09/2013 20:11

Pretty much fifi

this page was useful (sorry if link doesn't work I'm on my phone)

DulcetMoans · 27/09/2013 20:56

Wow. A lot of people will be discovering themselves this weekend by the sounds of it! I'm not keen to dig around too much but then I didn't even know there were noticeable changes until reading this today. Might start paying more attention!

I think the dirty students have diseased me and they've only been back a week! Stupid cough going on!

fifi669 · 27/09/2013 20:56

Having mild cramping so consoling myself with muchos chocolate and some koppaberg. Stupid uterus.

Nessalina · 27/09/2013 22:37

Off topic, but what did you think of 'Rush' Essie? Smile I saw it last week and loved it! The chap playing James Hunt is H O T Grin

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 28/09/2013 08:31

Omg it was amazing. Yes Hunt is totally hot and Lauda is so brilliantly acted. I am not remotely into cars but I loved it. Fab film. Highly recommended!

In other news. Cd 34, no ertd. Boobs still hurt. Longest cycle ever. Will poas again tomorrow am if still nothing.

Minion · 28/09/2013 09:37

Guten morgen (sp) viroids.
One is celebrating her birthday today and as soon as my hair figured this out it sprouted 2 greys overnight. Gash!
In other news, up half the night with that horrid type of nausea where you just are shaking and sweating. Had to lie down with a cool breeze over me for a short while. I'm hoping it's the start of someone positive, but I had a few drinks and a Chinese takeaway last night, chances are, it's that.
Still feel sick now but will not let it stop my day. Also boobs aren't nearly as sore as they usually are either and I'm on 8dpo... Result!

cookielove · 28/09/2013 09:42

Hello all.

We've made a decision, op is in tues, af should return 4-6 weeks later which puts us at beginning to mid November, will get back on the js band wagon then, which means if on the off chance up duffage occurs a
Immediately unlikely then I will be 7 months pregnant at my brother's wedding in California. Does that sound insane?

AuntieMaggie · 28/09/2013 14:07

cookie not insane but you need to be prepared for the fact that if you do fall pregnant straight away you may not be upto the wedding. If this hadn't happened you'd have been roughly 9 months at the time of the wedding anyway wouldn't you?

Some will tell you to wait but if I've learnt anything its that you've got to take every chance you have cos they may not come along very often. I can't remember how long you've been ttc but I know plenty of people who have been ttc for a long time irl and wish they hadn't put it off.

Bearfacedchic · 28/09/2013 14:07

Will you still be able to travel Cookie? Good to see you back but wish it was under different circumstances.

Sorry Quark. Thinking of you. Thanks at least though if they know it's your hormones they might be able to do something about it.

Sorry to all the BFNs. Thanks

Great news Red! So pleased for you and that it didn't hurt either.

Get well soon Minion.

Just dropping in as I'm totally shattered. Had to work this morning and so was up at 6.30. I really need my sleep so not fairing well and I don't want to get rundown and sick again so I might go to bed for a bit now. Nothing to report here - no shagging going in but will get back on the wagon next month. Roll on then.

Hope you're all okay and able to have a relaxing weekend even if things are a bit rough for some of you.

cookielove · 28/09/2013 14:40

Yes yes I wilk be able to travel. The baby would have been two months old at the wedding! So on the off chance I got pregnant almost immediately I would be 7 months pregnant at the wedding. Wedding is the 15th of June.

When we were told the baby died one of the first things I asked was how soon I could try again they said as soon as we wanted to.

AuntieMaggie · 28/09/2013 14:44

Sorry Cookie I got confused with the 8 weeks thing.

Officially you may be able to travel but you may not feel up to it come the time.

Bearfacedchic · 28/09/2013 16:51

I think you should go for it if you feel ready Cookie, but as Maggie said just be prepared for every eventuality. Glad you are feeling okay. X

lil1ady · 28/09/2013 21:56

cookie forget the wedding. you will deal with that when u get to it. if you feel ready to try again straight away go for it. no use worrying about the wedding until you have to.

minion happy birthday and hope you've felt well enough to enjoy it.

bear is it nice to not be having to worry how many days since your last shag?Grin

well I think I iced yesterday so I've eaten a fifth of pineapple today including the core. not as bad as I thought but my tongue is now soreConfused
