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 with your fredmates where needed.

JSing lingo


ERTD = Evil Red Tide of Dooooooommmmmmm. Or AF to most others.

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!

Pant snot = Egg white cervical mucus.

Doing a kitten = Getting upduffed soon after joining (warning: may induce envy in other posters).

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.

Icing = ovulating. Another autocorrect development!

Getting your Cape on = planning some serious pouncing on DH/DP

TWOT - Two Weeks of Torture!

Happy shagging shaggers!

thanks red its good to know its "normal", would probably not have even given it a second thought before TTC! you and cosy are right, its just my body playing mean tricks on me!

red I am so jealous of your snow! if you fancy a house swap I'll trade you for cold wet miserable south west England!Grin

Vatta · 22/01/2014 00:59

Morning all, may I join the thread please?

We've been trying for 1 year, with 2 miscarriages during that time. I'm 37, and we don't have any children yet.

I was doing the charting, bbt, etc but honestly it just became too stressful, so thought we'd try just shaggging! Going for EOD at the moment. Fingers crossed for all of us.

Nessalina · 22/01/2014 01:27

Hello & welcome Vatta Smile

I am so ill. Urgh. So glad we got our capes on yesterday coz there is no way he's coming near me when I feel this crappy! Hmm

Ooh I see a line too mrsb, faint! but definitely there! Congratulations! :)

Yeah lil the 3 month thing for me was a bit odd, but I reckon he may want to do an average as some quick searching on stoopid dr goofle suggests we may not OV every month.
So I have to go in on day cd 1 or 2, then cd21 for bloods.
Not so bad, wish I could be one of those wimmin who gets upduffed 'cause all of the stress was gone' pffft.
Poor husband on the other hand has to deposit into a beaker, and leg it to the andrology dept within the hour! They even said he can't 'perform' in the loos in the hospital, has to be at home.
I helpfully suggested the big toilet cubicle at mcdonalds over the road.
He could have a quick shufty and I could have a quick Big Mac...
Surprisingly enough he wasn't to enamoured with that idea.
Evil.

Haha minion, loving "a quick shufty". Also loving a quick big mac....that sounds good actuallly! I did another test this morning, much clearer this time

MissHobart · 22/01/2014 09:38

Definitely a line today! Congratulations! Grin

lil1ady · 22/01/2014 09:50

Congrats mrsb ... you confused me at first cos its a different test brand! that is definitely a line!Grin

lil1ady · 22/01/2014 09:50

oh and in non TTC news I just found out I passed my exam Grin Grin Grin

FurryScoob · 22/01/2014 10:11

Congratulations mrsb

Well done lil what was the exam for?

minion glad you've got things rolling & it sounds like you've got a good doctor too

Does anyone else get the mood swings around the time of ov? I've been really weepy all weekend & it seems to be the same every month, DP just thinks I'm a TTC loon but I feel the same as I do for a couple of days before AF arrives.

CuriosityCola · 22/01/2014 10:13

Just seen this on most active. I was on the second or third just shagging thread and now have two dc. Good luck everyone. Shock It ended up in the papers, not sure how I missed that!

MissHobart · 22/01/2014 10:25

Furry - I've been the same the last few days, weepy etc, pms symptoms but not due for another week (this is my WTF cycle though so who knows?!), not noticed if I've had these with prior OV Hmm

Saznut · 22/01/2014 13:08

hi all, and hello to new people.
lil I have had a very light af before. I am no medic expert but thought maybe that month I hadn't ov'd.
all systems go this month. Im glugging down water and grapefruit juice, taking evening primrose, taking pre preg tables, and soya isflavones last day today. on day 6. dh is even on the pre preg tables for his swimmers (don't know how I convinced that) got pineapple ready for next week! now just need to firmly fix my cape and get to the lucky number 10!!!

does anyone still use the water thread? do you have the link?

c'mon shaggers, we can do it!!

ps well done mrs xx

Minion · 22/01/2014 16:20

Oh girls.
Being home alone I've got time to think. And depress myself. It's cold, it's drizzly and grey and it's a sombre old day.
Humph. It's mainly because I've just been sat half upright and half leaning, having a 4 boob moment and thinking to myself, I should be having a four boob moment cause I'm upduffed, NOT cause it just bloody happens every month.
Please indulge me and save me a place in the pity bouncy castle.
Pitiful I know, sorry.

Redshoes56 · 22/01/2014 18:57

Ack! Cheer up, minion. You and your boobs need a piece of chocolate, maybe? Sending you some sunshine. Although truth be told, I don't have much. My fingers are frozen from digging my car out of a foot of snow! Your McDonald's idea is genius. Have the BigMac. Just save some fries for when he's done with his bit.

curiosity thanks for checking in on us! It's always nice to hear more JSing success stories :)

Finally got the insurance company to approve my meds and commit to a delivery date of Saturday. Good thing I don't need them on Friday, which is the date they actually had in their system as the deadline! Idiots. Now I'm dealing with another pharmacy for the two injections the insurance company couldn't fill. The phone calls never end.

beetlehope · 22/01/2014 19:07

I'm with the miserable peeps today !
Had argument with DH about nothing , work is exhausting , I am fat (ter) but can't be asses with diet as meant to be pg , am looking old and can confess on here I want Botox but won't in case get pg, and they closed Victoria tube station ! Agghhhh! Would scream but have sore throat.
Off home to wallow ! X

lil1ady · 22/01/2014 19:08

Redshoes56 · 22/01/2014 19:33

Hooray for an excess of candy! I'll split my share with beetle. Everyone should just stay in tonight and relax. We've been all manner of stressed lately!

Redshoes56 · 22/01/2014 19:34

lil is multiplying before our eyes!

mrsb87 · 22/01/2014 19:52

Hey lil no not yet! I am going to do a did after af should have been due just to make sure everything is ok. I dont think it will feel real til I go to the docs and tell someone.

DulcetMoans · 22/01/2014 20:48

You are being very patient mrsb, I'd be multiple tests down by now!!

We are a grumpy bunch. I should have gone to the gym after work but ended up in the office until nearly 7. As is always the way if you take a day off - you have to work two days in one instead!
