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?

hello all, :)

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 02/10/2013 16:49

Hi cookie! how are you doing?

lil1ady · 02/10/2013 18:35

hi cookie hope you feel better

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 03/10/2013 08:38

Viroids, I'm opking this cycle I'm afraid. Sorry. But it's only for the purposes of getting the day 21 blood test on vaguely the right day...! Honest!

Blood test in a min. Hoping I don't faint. Got a cereal bar handy. I have a habit of flaking out about needles. V pathetic and irrational.

cookielove · 03/10/2013 09:57

I am doing well. I have had no pain and feel mostly normal. Had to tell someone yesterday that I had a miscarriage. That brought it all back to the surface again. But mostly good. Doing lots of washing and crocheting before I go back to work.

Essie - dh can't stand needles either he just tends to
Blabber on and on until it's over.

There is a good chance in the new year we will be opking and smeping

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 03/10/2013 10:08

Jeez, the nurse was a total butcher. I have a totally dead arm and stupidly let her do it in my left arm as thats how the chair etc was set up, I'm left handed so am going to be even more pathetic all day now. Receptionist said results should be back tomorrow, I have to phone in the afternoon.

Cookie, I'm glad to hear you are not in any physical pain, even though I am sure emotionally it hurts a lot. How long before you have to go back to work? Glad you are able to take some time out though. Look after yourself.

I wish I could crochet. Left handed = cack handed in my case sadly.

xx

lil1ady · 03/10/2013 13:52

hugs cookie must be so tough but ul get thru it. I like to crochet but I'm more of a knitter/criss stitcher. I love scrapbooking too Grin

lil1ady · 03/10/2013 13:53

ahh pressed button too soon...

sorry she messed up Ur arm Essie but that's amazing you will get results tomorrow! I want Ur drs!

Minion · 03/10/2013 14:13

cookie so glad you are not in pain, it's going to be so hard when ppl start to ask, we're with you sister,(accompanied by a finger snap and head wobble a la ghetto gurl).

essie Ahhh butchers the lot of 'em. I went in last year, to the travel nurse for malarone for a trip and she ended up giving me 4 injections, all in the same arm. Looked a right scraghead later that day. She even tried to up sell by saying I needed shed loads more,,, bloody bloodsucker she was.

Well I'm in Vegas. Tried to stay up past 9 yesterday but seeing as though I'm currently minus 8 hours I couldn't manage it, so we just went to hooters for chicken wings, gambled a little, walked the strip then collapsed in a ruddy heap and now wide awake at 6 am... Grrrrr

Still nothing new on ERTD front, though I reckon she's about to arrive tomorrow as yesterday had the most painful backache ever, it even wrapped around my hips and groin, never had it like that which wasn't pleasant. Still the bitch won't stop me enjoying my 3 days here!

Hope everyone else is well, were due a POASathon aren't we?

QuarksInAPearTickle · 03/10/2013 21:18

Hi all!

cookie hope you are ok love. Glad to hear you are not in pain.

Could do with some poas action around here it's awful quiet.

I am just waiting for miscarriage bleeding to stop and then we will be getting straight back to the old JSing! Grin

ZingWantsCake · 03/10/2013 21:42

cookie so sorry to hear.

it's almost 5 years that I had a MC. I'm dreading the "anniversary".
I hate October now, and especially that week.Sad

but the rest of the year I'm almost normal - I do think of her a lot though.
I will always miss her.

I know it doesn't feel like it now, but sometime in the future the pain of this loss will become less intense.

be kind to yourself and let yourself grieve. cry and scream if you need to. losing a child of any age is the worst thing ever, and you are allowed to mourn this loss however and whichever way it feels "right" to you!

I'm so sorry, I truly understand what you are going through and sending you big hugs!Sad Sad Thanks Thanks

ZingWantsCake · 03/10/2013 21:43

quark lots of cuddles and love to you too.
I'm sorry for your losses girls
Xxxx

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 04/10/2013 09:20

Me too. Sad Lots of love to you all.

Minion, you're in vegas! Yay! hope you have fun, and hope ERTD stays away for all the right reasons!

Will report back when I get blood results. I have to phone up to get them, guess 9.20am is still a bit early?!

QuarksInAPearTickle · 04/10/2013 10:39

Thanks again all. Honestly feeling ok, just frustrated I cant get back to the JSing just now!

Essie any news?

Minion hope ERTD hasn't reared her ugly head yet!

What is everyone up to this weekend? I am out for tea tonight and I am trying to coax DH to come shopping with me at some point this weekend! Don't know why I am bothering, DH is awful at shopping

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 04/10/2013 11:33

My DH is crap at shopping too and tomorrow we are heading into the big smoke to try and find him a new coat. I estimate I will have to trail round all the shops while he tries on about 50 coats and then we go back and buy the first one he tried on. Hopefully he will buy me cake to keep me going. Enjoy your shopping trip Quark! Glad you are feeling fine and ready to get jsing again. New cape? I'm going to have one with pumpkins on this cycle.

Results are in! I know it's not much in the scheme of things, but it's a glimmer of good news! 'Normal no action' was all the Recptionist would tell me, but I guess thats all the info I need! Bring on the day 21s! God knows how I'm going to get that on the right day, with my cycle currently varying from 25-35 days, but I'm openly opking this cycle to try and get it right!

I'm actually on a course on Sunday but it's one I've put myself on and it should be interesting.

Happy Friday one and all! x

DulcetMoans · 04/10/2013 12:19

Yay essie! That is so quick! It has inspired me to make an appointment with the doctor for Monday to get my results. They should be in. Was holding out for DH SA but that won't be happening any time soon with his work so I can at least get my results.

I'm at a wedding this weekend. There is a boat tour as part of it too so that will be lovely!

cookielove · 04/10/2013 12:30

Minion thst really made me smile!

Essie grrrrr that your arm was tortured!

Lil, I like the idea of scrapbooking just don't have the patience. I tried x stitch but just ended up with a big knot. So mainly I paint, crochet or make stuff.

I've not really bled so I'm going to test this weekend for a bfn. Then use condoms till after af shows.

Happy Friday all :)

fifi669 · 04/10/2013 13:45

ERTD got me last night. Booooo.

On the positive side I'm meeting up with old uni mates next Friday for the weekend so can enjoy a few beers would prefer a baby

Onto cycle 7!

pizzaqueen · 04/10/2013 16:50

Sorry the bitch got you fifi.

Hope you're doing ok quark and cookie. It will get better even though you never forget.

9dpo here (cd25) and have an overwhelming urge to poas. Too early though yes? tell me it's too early? Weird cramping type pains today so af probably on it's way but we dtd on all the right days this cycle! !

Minion · 04/10/2013 17:14

ERTD paid a visit to me too this morning.... Bitching bastarding bollocking bogies to her!
Wench.
On the other hand, I'm about to go to an unlimited champagne buffet in a hour, so that's a bonus, also won $140 on a fruity yesterday so in effect it's a free booze up!
Nice.
Vegas is fab, doing lots, seeing lots, eating and drinking far too much, but fuck it, we only live once eh?
Off to area 51 tomorrow, or we would be if it indeed existed...wink wink.
We need some good news in the thread... Come on folks, PMA PMA PMA!
Xxx

AuntieMaggie · 05/10/2013 00:51

OFGS I posted on here last night buy it didn't show :(

Anyway, my preseed arrived today (yay) so fingers crossed this along with smep (DP rolled his eyes when I told him what days we were ttc Grin) will work.

Hugs to everyone who needs it atm.

ZingWantsCake · 06/10/2013 07:33

minion sorry to hear about ERTD.
Vegas Baby, YEAH!

I don't know what to think. I'm 3 days late - but we didn't JS around the time I was icing only earlier this week - on the day and the day before AF was due!

wtf?
I'm actually unsure as to when I ovulated - it seemed everything happened twice about 10 days apart (EWCM seemed to have appeared and gone then come back again)

really weird.

we literally JS-ed - I was convinced we were too late for this month!
both if I were pg I wouldn't be surprised - I actually got pg twice already that way!

so I won't POAS just yet, it will be only negative, I know that from experience.
with DS2 it took 3 weeks to get a BFP, so I'm going to have to wait.

Ooh, sounds positive Zing! Smile

Minion · 06/10/2013 16:13

Ahhh nay bother zing, I was a little dissapointed for a few hours but then got back on the horse, so to speak.
Vegas has been fab! Going home today tho. Went to area 51 yesterday and had a snoop around. Mad little place that!

Got my fingers crossed for you zing
