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!

Cosy
I am more peed off than crazy! And Poas and nope nothing I peed on ov stick and nothing there either - I am faulty !!!!
Like a dog peeing on anything !! Cheap internet ones of course .
Lil
I think I am now two days late from when my period should have been if the bleeding after my period was actually a period - cor that's confusing!
Ness
Def can't be up duffed i don't feel anything at all and doc didn't think I was from what I said.

I'm anti all the faff as it is way too much hassle for me and I was doing it all wrong anyway ; )

aw, thanks lil, I had a look on Amazon, read some reviews and could feel the crazy leaping out at me so I am not going to buy anything right now. I need to keep the crazy at bay!

Roll on Thursday red, really soon now and your Cuban meal sounds ratttther nice. Is Digital Fortress any good? I think that's the only one I haven't read. If you've read Angels & Demons, I've actually been to CERN - there is no Mach 3 plane which I found rather disappointing! Sorry about the chalky hoo-ha too, all in a good cause.

Aw beetle I hope something happens soon which makes sense. I swear my body was completely boring and normal until I started TTC and then it all went haywire.

And of course a very big congrats to cookie, how wonderful. xxx

cookie's havin a baybeeee

Ooh great news Cookie! That much be such a relief Are you going to go for another or holding out for 12 week?
Sounds like some good positive chilled out-ness going on there Red - definite sympathies on the icky internal bits Puts being too tired for a shag into perspective

juniper I am so impressed my crazy didn't rub off on you. I really have lost the jsing way a bit haven't I! I blame dh for buying this stupid f'ing cbfm. I feel like all I do is pee in cups! I bet he wouldn't insist on it if he was the one peeing in cups or in sticks! please, all, send humungous hooyas this way or pelt Jaffa cakes so I can eat them!

red I too am jealous of your meal. especially as I'm on a diet since I started in November I've lost 11lbs! still 5 to go though so must stay on the wagon! you are absolutely entitled to anything they haven't told you not to have...so sup away on that glass of vino

beetle that is weird. don't give up tho. if it was AF for whatever reason you may have ovd later than normal so a bfp could still be just around the corner. my advice would be to assume u are fertile and keep shagging!

Wonderful cookie, how exciting! another scan in a couple of weeks?

Jesus red, that sounds awful! What the hell are you shoving up there anyway if its just coming down again!

No thermometer or opks here! There was a couple of tests though but in only human! No shagging going in at the mo either though. Capes start tomorrow!

omg it's too early to be awake. why do I always have to be up early for other peoples kids?! currently at my mums looking after lil bros, who are still in bed, and laughing at the bonkers kitten - he's so cute!

I am holding out now for the 12 weeks!

Fab news cookie I'm so happy for you! Was it mad seeing the heartbeat? Did you weep, I imagine I would bawl like a baby.
Well into 'the week of friction burns' as that is what's going to happen if we carry on the ways we are.
Obvoiusly I'm not not poa OV s and I didn't not see a much darker line last night, so I must be quite close eh,,, not that I'd know or anything, wink wink.

Oops..
I want a cat but the husband wants a dog when we get to the new house. But I know that with all the time off with my job that I get, I'll be the one bloody walking it everyday whilst he'll get the fun ramble in the woods walks in the weekends. And I'll probably forget to feed it, heck I sometimes forget myself.

Have a jaffa cake love....

Am sitting in McDonald's with a latte. I have got TTC brain of epic proportions. I have been in the Dr's this morning to discuss my gall stones...Woke up early 'ON MY DAY OFF' to go. Got there and the receptionist said "ooh I haven't got you booked in for today"

"are you sure" says I

"Yes - your appointment is tomorrow!"

FFS

OH was pissing himself (so I punched him)

I'm sulking and waiting for Marks and Spencer to open to restore sanity to my addled brain.

pass me a jaffa cake.

I'm resisting, I'm resisting! For now...

Felt quite proud of myself for not even putting anything in my amazon basket...no ICs, nothing to do with TTC, not even a book (which I always somehow manage to buy every time I go on amazon)! Haven't even saved the page. Feeling quite proud of myself for being crazy enough to pretend I'm not crazy, and then telling you guys, my fellow TTC nutters, that I managed to control the crazy :p.

Woooo for Cookie.

Had to chuckle 1974 - not because turning up for a doctors appointment a day early is funny, but because it is something that I would so totally do...and on my day off as well. Ah well, atleast you can console yourself with the latte and maybe a bit of retail therapy...perhaps Percy Pigs would be a good idea? (Mmmmm, piggies ;)).

I've got my fx that AF has overstayed her welcome and should be moving out again either today or tomorrow, soooooo got my cape at the ready!!! Hope my OH is ready cos it's gonna get busy...

(I will not get obsessed, I will not get obsessed, I will not get obsessed...)

rach - I have a nurse appointment at 8:30 tomorrow on my last day off, before ttc I wouldn't have even considered losing a lie in for anything!

Hello - tis me "1 9 7 4 r a c h"
I have NC to Aylesbury Duck, because I was a bit traceable.

However I do live in Ayles, but I don't quack much

OH is sitting on the sofa next to me, and is the worlds greatest living expert on Women's Curling. In actual fact he is an expert on all winter sports now

I am prepared to learn about most stuff, but for the life of me I cannot see how sweeping the floor to shift some bit stone thing works?!?

Cookie yay, so pleased for you! Can you remind us of your backstory - how long were you TTC? It gives me hope to read other people's success stories!

Apologies for encouraging the spectacular contraband wagon-falling-off. I am temping, because I'm interested and need to get my Day 21 test sorted. But I can't be arsed with OPKs, they just sound so bloody unreliable. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

I got my JS cape on last night. Then afterwards DP asked me whether it was 'the right time to get pregnant' - I said no it wasn't, it's still early in my cycle. He looked SO chuffed that we'd done it 'for fun rather than function', and I felt a little guilty. didn't tell him that it's still useful to do it early cycle to get the swimmers flowing ready for icing time

Last month I was definitely too driven and regimented - my 9 day marathon didn't work, so I'm taking it easy this month. And I've actually started to try and talk myself into taking it easy for a few months - I've applied for a new job, so it would be a little embarrassing to be pg just as I start (if I get it), it would be far better form to hold off for at least a few months. So I'm hoping to be a bit more laid back about things for a while.

Interesting Aylesbury I too have been contemplating a NC, but was worried that I'd lose contact with you lot. You're the only thread I'm on that I want to be 'known' on, cos you're all so lovely.

Cosy This is the only thread on which I have made friends (and I am NOT putting that in inverted commas. You lot are my friends because I have shared Jaffa cakes and personal stuff with you)

I did it because I blab on about how funny MN is all the time and to be honest It wasn't the most original username!

I want to recommend MN to a friend, but I'm terrified she'll find me. Not so much on this thread, but other personal stuff I've shared.

If I disappear, and a newbie appears who seems to fit right in.... it will be me.

Cosy

just keep the Cosy bit - every time I read your name it does make me feel cosy!

(hope your dog is ok)

yeah just be cosy something else cosy tutti frutti

Rach1974 - I could have used that name but two years later if you get my meaning- I agree on the traceable bit!

Cosy how did I miss that - preggers !!!!!
Woo hooooooo!
Fabulous !
