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!

snap ness! Am forcing myself to go back to sleep.

DulcetMoans · 12/01/2014 09:10

Ergh. Went out for a 30th birthday and drank cocktails all night. Not classy ones though, ones that come in pint glasses and are made with WKD or similar. Not hung over just tired and throat really sore from shouting. Not cut out for this anymore.

Was partly trying to drown sorrows as AF is on her way but actually it's not happened yet. Probably today though.

Lynsey14 · 12/01/2014 10:30

The dog woke me up at 8 and is now having a nap when I'm wide awake. If he wasn't so damned cute he'd get chucked out the window for his crimes!!!

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 10:38

Id rather be at home in bed and awake than at work with a rota cock up which means I can't open up the shop til someone else comes in....major manager cockup!
I'll just sit here with a greggs bacon abd sausage bap and a nice cuppa tea then!

DulcetMoans · 12/01/2014 10:59

Oh I would like some bacon bap mrsb, can you pop it round before your manager turns up? I can't get up cos I've got the kitten on me... She thinks my face is a toy and she would very much like to use my phone. Probably wants to chat to you lot!

MissHobart · 12/01/2014 11:02

Old man cat has also just decided to play with my face, I love having my lips clawed! Hmm

FurryScoob · 12/01/2014 11:42

Mmmmmm bacon & sausage buttie, mrsb you've made me Hungary, I'm having a lazy Sunday catching up with Christmas TV. AF has left the building so need to work up some energy to rid DP of his old sperms & get the fresh ones ready for action!

cookie I hope your ok & working things out together. Thanks

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 11:48

Ah was good bap...nomnom. shop now open and "working" really hard....ahem.
Not sure how I'd feel having a cat use my face as a catscratcher!!

Nessalina · 12/01/2014 12:47

I went back to sleep, just getting up now! Grin Inspired by bacon bap - going to raid the fridge!

JuniperDoesWhatZitaSays · 12/01/2014 13:23

Hahaha, snap again ness, with a couple of brief journeys to make tea and put washing on.

Naughty me POAS this morning. BFN but it is a bit too early. Felt a bit sad but a couple of days before ERTD due. Good luck everyone starting JSing this cycle, banish AF for 2014!

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 13:30

Naughty juniper! How long before af arrives? I cant wait to test....got ages yet though! Oh well more dtd later Grin

Nessalina · 12/01/2014 17:28

Didn't have any bread, so ended up with bacon & egg pitta, lol. Was pretty good! ERTD has buggered off now, so think I might target DH for a warm- up shag tonite Grin

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 17:47

Nomnom!
Sorry guys didn't mean to start a bacon epidemic!

JuniperDoesWhatZitaSays · 12/01/2014 19:04

Well mrsb I've been meaning to ask about this cycle...it's been a weird one!
Started getting EWCM about CD12 but think I ov'd CD20due to contraband being in use. So I'm really not clear on when to expect ERTD or what. My usual cycle lately has been 28 days so on CD27 which is where I am now I was getting spotting etc. Nothing yet but then if I ov'd CD20 I probably wouldn't get much going on til about CD30? Getting lots of weird cramps at the moment too so who knows. Hurry up and wait, I guess!

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 19:13

Im sorry to have to ask but I don't know what cd.. means......or ewcm come to think of it.
goon.

Nessalina · 12/01/2014 19:19

EWCM = egg white cervical mucus (the way cervical mucus looks around the time of ovulation - prime sperm carrying stuff!)
CD = cycle day

JuniperDoesWhatZitaSays · 12/01/2014 19:20

Ah, sorry. Someone upthread was saying they couldn't figure out the acronyms! Thanks ness.

So the upshot of it all is, who knows what's going on?? Sitting here making myself all sad so will get a cup of tea and do something else while I wait for Sherlock to start. :)

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 19:38

Thanks for the clarification ness! It sounds like a really frustrating time for you, hopefully you'll get some answers soon!
I wish I could poas this week!

lil1ady · 12/01/2014 20:15

juniper do you have any idea what your lp is? if not I'd say test after cd34 ie 14 day lp. did u say your spotting now at CD 28? that could be implantation bleedingGrin

JuniperDoesWhatZitaSays · 12/01/2014 20:27

Thanks lil, no spotting yet, would expect to if normal cycle and ERTD coming Tuesday. Will try to calm down and hang on til if cd34 rolls round! Fingers crossed.

DulcetMoans · 12/01/2014 20:32

Waiting, waiting, waiting! I know she's coming, I know it... But where is she?

Didn't get bacon but had a hot cross bun.

Gennz · 12/01/2014 21:49

Hi ladies,

Would love to join in! Am far too lazy to deal with all the charting etc... Am on cycle 1, AF due about 25 Jan. I had my copper coil out in mid Dec, AF arrived 29 December which was a bit early (26 day cycle rather than usual 28/29 days). So I should be ovulating about now (CD16) - have the usual symptoms of slight cramps, sore boobs, water retention but no CM which is a bit weird. So we're cracking on with DTD and I guess we'll find out 2 weeks if it worked!

Has anyone read Expecting Better? I recommend it.

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 21:57

Hi gennz! Sounds like we are on a similar cycle as I am next due on 25th.

Gennz · 12/01/2014 22:03

Fingers crossed for you mrsb !

I've never been super clucky (I'm 32) but the moment I took the IUD out I was like a woman on a mission - I tried to ban DH from going for a run yesterday as he needed to conserve his energy for shagging Blush

mrsb87 · 12/01/2014 22:13

Haha thats awesome gennz never heard that before! Luckily mine has been sat on his toosh playing xbox all day... plenty of energy for dtd!
