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?

Welcome, kitty!

I had just about one of the shittiest days ever today. Back-to-back meetings from 9:30 until 4:30, existing on one yogurt. I did excuse myself to take the call from the nurse. I might have a bicornuate uterus or a septate uterus. Apparently I was supposed to have been given the films at the radiologist, but I did not get them, so I now have to pick them up and deliver them to the RE so she can examine them properly. I'll probably have to have another test to figure out what the deal is. Oh, and maybe surgery. Oh, and DH's morphology is practically 0%. I haven't told him yet Sad. Maybe we should just adopt another cat.

DulcetMoans · 05/09/2013 22:34

Oh red that is a shit day. How did you cope after the phone call? Hope you have a treat lined up somewhere soon. Perhaps you are too ill for work tomorrow? Sod 'em, focus on you!

oh red that's shit. I know its hard but try and stay positive. you are getting answers and that's what matters. the fact u can have surgery to correct it is a good thing and morphology can be treated I believe focus on the good. and I agree with having the day off sick and focusing on you tomorrow. live to work not work to live.

lil1ady · 06/09/2013 00:13

oh forgot to say hi to the newbies waves

Redshoes56 · 06/09/2013 01:11

Thanks so much ladies - I really did just dump and run before, eh? Sorry! I haven't told many people at all in "real life" about the fact that we're TTC never mind having troubles, so I just needed to vent! I am actually not sure I would have held it together today without popping over here for unconditional support. Thanks a heap Thanks!

DH was absolutely wonderful when I got home. He was not thrilled to hear about the results, but really positive and supportive. We had a good laugh and even managed to get the cape on (hey, it only takes ONE!). Behind good old fashioned shagging, we are going to take things one day at a time. Next step is a second semen analysis to make sure the first result was actually accurate. And I am going to request another consult with the doctor so we can sit down and get answers.

I sure would call out sick tomorrow, but I called out sick Tuesday for the HSG so I really am behind and should go in. At least tomorrow is Friday!!!! Grin

Hey viroids! Just place marking coz I like to lurk & see how y'all are doing! Smile I'm 7+2 and sick as a dog, not that I expect any sympathy, lol!
Glad to hear you're feeling positive Red, wouldn't it be amazing if you damned the odds with your cape-donning this evening! Grin
Will post a link to current grads Fred when I get on a proper PC, and hope to see you all over there really soon! Xxx

Hi new Fred friends!

ZingWantsCake · 06/09/2013 10:08

Ness just returning the favour! Grin

it's been for days and I still have awful cramping. I've run out of nurofen.

I'm drinking lots of water, I think it's helping.
Brew first, then sorting clothes!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Viroids, I am contemplating smiley piss sticks. Talk me down?

Well done on donning cape red, after that kind of a day. Hopefully it made you both feel better. There's alwas hope and the medical professionals will iron out the problems too!

Forgot to say, when I went to the docs on Monday she talked me through conception (I didn't tell her I had learnt most of it from MN anyway!) and told us pretty straight that we don't need to have sex everyday and in fact there is evidence to suggest that decreases sperm usefulness but if you wait three days you miss the egg. Every other day is best. I know we know this but it was nice to hear it from a doctor and even better for DH to hear it from a doctor so he knows im not making it up!

ChubbyKitty · 06/09/2013 11:34

Zing my cramps have mostly faded now and hopefully that means it will be over soon.

The last one was 30 days long and the doctor had no idea whyShock

cookielove · 06/09/2013 17:39

Hello all. Watching stalking you lot from afar! Just like to keep an eye on you lot. Hoping to see some more bfp's soon.

Slyly marking my spot to Wink

I guess some of you won't know me but I miss you lot so I like to come here from time to time.

Zing don't use nurofen its bad for ttc. I think it can make you infertile while on it. Only paracetamol!!

I'm 10+1 (eek)

Alohomora · 06/09/2013 17:42

I looked up the neurofen thing and the only caveat is not to take it during the last trimester as it can be bad for the foetus, other than that there don't seem to be problems.

dulcet I'd only do it if you're not sure you're icing at all and struggle to dtd regularly. I'm just glad to know there is actually something going on in my downstairs area and that I can trust my bodies signals, I don't think I could keep the stick-peeing up for longer than 1-2 cycles!

fifi669 · 06/09/2013 19:40

Is nurofen ibuprofen? You shouldn't use it in the first or third trimesters....
