You can do it by charting, analysing, testing, and worrying, but we prefer... JUST SHAGGING PART 20!!

[Nessalina]

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!

Really sorry to hear that you've had such a bastard of a day beetle
I can totally get you being mad at your OH for dragging his heels, I feel a bit the same about mine - we've been together 9 years, through all my young & fertile times and only starting to try now It just feels like time wasted.
Also can't believe you can't get free IVF!! That is just shit.
But, PMA time - you won't need it, you're getting tests that will start to move stuff forward, and I bloody hope you get upduffed super fast so you can stick two fingers up to the silly ageist cow of a doctor!!!

Ha! Lol @ anal - and I thought it was such an innocent OP!

Good morning all. It was GP for DH of I today. Agreed to do two months of day 3 & 21 tests for me and DH getting SA elsewhere anyway. You have to have been trying two years here and that starts from the end of the molar pregnancy follow up which will be November to be referred to the fertility clinic. That made me a bit sad but it's a plan so will wait for the results and see what they say.

Happy weekend all! x

Hi. DH and I decided to stop trying to not get pg a few weeks ago. I was on here up until the end of December 2012 when we conceived our DS after only trying for a few months so DH is hoping for the same this time (lots of pressure, thanks DH). Think I should be ovulating this weekend, but we've been DTD most nights for the last 2 weeks

My stats are:

Name: LotsaTuddles
Age: 23
DC: 1 DS (6mo)
TTCing since: January 2014

Forgive me viroids, for I have sinned.
In penance for purchasing some OPKs I offer to thee, the Lord's Prayer with artistic licence.
Our target
Who art in the bedroom,
Upduffage, be thy name.
From husband come (sorry)
Thy will, be done on hearth,
Or bed, or whatever.
Give us, this month, our BFP
And forgive us our OPKs.
As we forgive those who tell us 'just relax'.
And lead us all into symptom spotting,
For thyne is the twotting,
The red tide of doom,
So shag forever and ever.
Amen

Sorry god!

minion u rock!

minion u rock!

ah minion that's amazing!

Brilliant!!! That needs to go in the OP, no doubt about it!
Haha!

Haha. Love it minion! Think he'll listen?!

Viroids, I fell off the wagon and POAS I suck!!! Studied it for ages and convinced myself that I could see the faintest of faint lines, but I think it may just have been the afterimage of the actual line, I was staring so hard!!
I've been feeling quite crampy, so probably not my month...
Anyone else due to pee?!

ness post a pic?

I can't stop poas, its so addictive still can't believe it!

Yeah, picture nessa! But do one in the morning first. You know the drill - FMU always best and you'll be a day further on!

This is not our month. After all the shagging last month we are down to twice this month and on CD17. Think he's gone off me... :(

Minion you're a literary genius

Ness Post a pic of your pee stick Here

Hi Lotsa, welcome to the madness.

Symptom spotting update. I'm around 10 DPO. Breadsticks feel like over inflated water balloons that have been punched repeatedly. They ache - but I won't get too over excited, as they feel like that a week before ERTD most months.

Salty taste in mouth has gone after one day. I think I may have imagined that one.

However, today I had a weird new thing. I had the tiniest of tiny spots of fresh blood when I wiped. I have experienced spotting a few days before ETRD before, but it's always been brown. This was pink and red.

try not to get hopes up

Implantation bleeding is a myth made up to upset us symptom spotters, right?

Evening all , thank you for all being so nice to me xxx
I am speaking to DH as he made dinner tonight which is miraculous as his job is washing - clothes pots anything really! I'm a soft touch.

So my period has vanished - where for art thou period?! Can you just not have one? From bleeding mid cycle when busily shagging to few spots, pains and then nothing this month is the weirdest ever : ( x was due tues and know I'm not but still v odd !!

fx for some upcoming bfps!

hi cookie glad you are having fun poas daily! hope things have been going well with you.

beetle you could have had an anovulatory cycle? its normal in most woman a couple of times a year apparently. maybe the random bleeding was the result of that and that could mark cd1 instead of mid cycle. trying to be a voice of reason for you but definitely hoping you get a bfp instead!

Beetle- I'm totally with you about what absolute pits this all is. I think it's different ages in different areas for IVF though as I'm sure I read some areas was up to 39. It still sucks but might be worth finding out especially as you can choose where to have your treatment now.

I know it's bloody hard (as you well know from all my rants on my posts) but try to keep your head above water. Personally, I think have a bad day and let it a out and (shhh) if needs be call I sick to work if you're too distressed. Then pick yourself up again. Sometimes to have to let it all out I think. If you bottle it up, it will surface in other ways.i don't advocate pulling sickies at all, but this is sorting out you're metal health in my opinion. Anyway, bd nice to yourself and allow yourself to feel the way you do. But font hate yourself- this isn't your fault.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry I haven't caught up on the thread but will try to over the weekend. Must. Sleep. Now. Zzzzz

Sorry for all the typos. I'm knackered!

Thanks bear and lil.
Poas this morning and an exp one too but as I thought not pg. so know I am suck. 4 days late and I don't feel pg.
But need to have those blood tests I guess I have to wait around and hope for period at some point or else where the heck do I count from? Xx
One day off and need a week and on this precious day I have to sort out a presentation for tomorrow :( x
Happy weekend ladies ! X

Stuck not suck! Def no sucking going on!

Ps fingers crossed cosy xx

POAS again this morning, deffo no line Pah! Witch is due tomorrow, and I know I have a short LP, so even though it's BFN for now, I'm not quite out yet... losing hope fast though!
Sounds like there's some good potential on the Fred - no AF is always good right?!

It's not over till the fat lady sings Nessa, fingers still crossed for you.

I think I'm out - had more bleeding today, looks more like AF. But I'm on friggin day 24 FFS, my average cycle is 27-28 days. And it has come about in a totally different way this time - It usually happens at night, with horrendous IBS cramping. This time, it just sneaked up on me with the tiniest of spotting. Just when I thought I had things figured out, my body goes and does something different just to PISS ME OFF!!!! Rrraaaaaaa!

Oh well, I'm going out tonight and I had been worrying about how to get away with not drinking in front of my friends. Now I can drink beer to my heart's content!

Thoroughly pissed off.

Sorry to being the Fred down, I really hope someone else gets a BFP to cheer us all up

Hey we all synced and now we all have odd periods or periods that have gone AWOL !- v odd. And v annoying.

It's a well known scientific phenomenon that things change when you examine them. It's cos we are watching her, she changes!!

Hopefully AF won't turn up tomorrow then nessa, and in a weeks time you'll be back with a BFP.
