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!

Beetle I think you mean Cookie is preggers.. not me, nope, not yet anyway! (perhaps it was a premonition...!!)

I'll have a think on my Name change, you'll know me when you see me!

Lil hugs from me too, it's not easy. Such a conflict of emotions, from feeling happy for her, to feeling shit for yourself but not wanting to show it. Your turn will come

I have to keep biting my tongue about how awesome I find MN! This is MY place to be open and honest about how I feel and what I'm going through.

I just say "forums" and "message boards" and would never reveal my NN to the outside world!

I also love this thread, everyone is so pleasant! My nn is so different to my other web handles I hope no one would find me. I have put quite a lot that's identifying but if people know that about me they can know the rest.

Big hugs lil xxx

thanks guys. I was thinking about a nc also. I shall ponder. right now I'd be lilbitfedupofpgppl

I pondered a NC after our baby drama just because the threads I'd started were so obviously me, but I asked for them to be deleted afterwards instead. I think if I change for fun I'll still try to keep the 'Ness' - I like to be anonymous, but not to you guys IYSWIM!!

oh lil

a big hug from me as well! let's hope they all have terrible morning sickness

strike out fail

as long as you promise you won't be fed up with me lil!

of course not zing OK so how about lilbitfedupofpgpplinrl but I think that's getting a bit long

dh is feeling down about it all too. I think our downness is keeping each other down. time for me to be the strong one and

phew, good! I was worried!

and sorry you've both been feeling down.

I think in true blitz spirit, we should all take to our beds, powercut or no powercut, to ride out this storm JSing style

Then we can tell our DCs how they were conceived on the night of the great storm of 2014...!

Can I just hide under the quilt on my own & catch up with why Jaffa cakes are being thrown around? DP's not here & I'm getting scared!

furry

jaffa cakes are known to cure most incidents of feeling meh, in fact I think I will have to fund a study into the effectiveness of jaffa cakes of such feelings

Sorry on name mix up - cosy I'm am sure it's a premonition x
I'm in a hotel in Mancs bit windy up here!
Hugs to those on there own sending Jaffa cakes x

minion it wad nerve wracking cause he couldn't find anything first and he said I had a tilted womb which meant he had to use a different thingy. But as soon as he found it you could see its little flickering heart. No tears but lots of relief.

cosy I was ttc since Jan 12 fell pregnant in June 12 mmc in sept 12. Bfp (accidental) in Jan 13. Oh and had loads of genetic testing done on mmc baby and also us as a couple.

Also just wanted to say I stalled 3 times in a row on my driving test and still passed first time

aylesbury I'm sure Dr Goofle will already have done research in the effective meh relief of a Jaffa cake

Hello cookie & zing nice to know your Bfp's are doing well

Anyone lucky enough to be icing over valentines day? I should of been but as AF turned up late my plans have all gone tits up.

I'm not icing til Mon/Tues I don't think, but V-day definitely falls into the shag zone!
I'm worried the house is going to blow down - it's bloody horrible out there!

juniper Digital Fortress is good so far. I'm just a few chapters in. I have to be honest I haven't read his other books, even though I know they are acclaimed! I have The Da Vinci Code somewhere in our big pile of unread books. We may as well open a lending library. Our basement is overrun with books.

Our Cuban dinner last night was delicious -- I had every last bit of my pork, beans and fried plantains, and just a half a glass of red wine. My one friend talked about her 9 month old quite a bit, but it did not bother me. She had a hard time getting pregnant and she understands what DH and I are going through. It was a nice time.

dulcet I have to hope that enough of the actual progesterone is absorbed before the chalk avalanche begins. Today wasn't as bad as yesterday. The cramps have subsided at least.

minion get a cat! (Says the cat lady.)

I really adore you all. I had zero interest in joining any of the U.S.-based message boards as my fellow countrywomen are all, shall we say, horrible bitches to one another. This is such a fun and friendly place. Nobody knows I am here. My name would give me away if any of my RL friends showed up here, but when I signed up, I figured none of them were going to wind up on thread of women trying to get pregnant. I actually work for a company that publishes websites so I'm really familiar with online communities and how they work. This is one of the best-run forums I have seen. And I have I mentioned, I adore you all? I wouldn’t be sane without you!

Awwww! We luffs you too Red!
Yes, I think when people IRL have had trouble TTC you can't feel anything but pleased for them when it all works out.
My DH is such a girl. He's just put on his dressing gown and announced that he's going to have a hot chocolate and watch Mean Girls

ness your DH sounds like man after my own heart!

Jaffa cakes for everyone! Though I am on a diet. xxx

Red

I adore you too! mwah!
you have my favourite colour in your name so that's an instant positive "prejudice"!

good luck tomorrow, fingers and toes will be crossed for you and MrRed!

Furry I would have been icing over V day, but AF sent my plans tits up too :(. Now looking more like somewhere around the 20th...ah well, the evil witch seems to have buggered off now so I shall don my cape and pounce on my OH tonight, even if it's just for the hell of it! He has agreed to join me in my obsessive JSong plan although tbh I'm not sure he's fully aware of what he's letting himself in for! His initial response was "that's fine by me", but we shall see...

Red My sentiments exactly. These ladies are awesome and are keeping me sane :) even if 'sane' sometimes translates to "getting more obsessed and encouraged to buy ICs off Amazon so that I can POAS all the time!!!" FYI - I'm still resisting the urge ;)

Lol at your DH Ness

JSing plan even

If I'm having a 30 day cycle this month, then my exact date falls on valentines day! Best get some love inspired names ready then.
JSing is going very well. Operation eod is progressing successfully.
Funny how when you tell a bloke he's gonna get it every other day for a whole month, his outlook suddenly turns very sunny.
I've promised we won't stop after the icing as that's not fair really.
He's also literally just walked out the door to get his results from the doc, so I'll sit here fretting

I love our little online frommunity (friendly community), it's lovely to know there's other ladies out there who are thinking what I'm thinking, makes me feel not as crazy as the husband likes to think I am!

Best of luck for today red, urging those eggies on.

This has been a knackering week but may try to get the cape on tonight. Capes onward!
