Conception

When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

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

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!

JuniperDoesWhatZitaSays · 15/01/2014 08:13

Morning, thought I'd drop in as I'm busy all day today.
Tested this morning, BFN.
Hilariously Hmm I thought it was 7am when it was 4.30am so haven't managed to get back to sleep, and I went to bed at 1am. Bit tired today and I'm on quite full-on training. Wish me luck!

Hope you had a lovely evening cookie.

Good luck at the drs dulcet, guess I'll be making my appointment tomorrow.

mrsb87 · 15/01/2014 08:29

Oh juniper im so sorry to hear that, hopefully the docs will have some answers for you x

Saznut · 15/01/2014 08:47

yay cookie!!! Although that does show to the annoying people out there "if you stop trying it will happen. .." , but seriously I am really chuffed for you and put me in a good mood this morning.

latium, I really hope things sort itself out soon, same for dulcet.

I am now all stocked up for next month. vitamins, grapefruit, pineapple, the list goes on. Just waiting for af on Friday then shaggathon here I come

Saznut · 15/01/2014 08:48

sorry I meant juniper not dulcet, it's hard to remember when you are updating on the phone

CosyTeaBags · 15/01/2014 09:39

I too have stocked up on Grapefruit and Pineapple...

Now tell me about the sore tongue thing - is it because it's really hard and difficult to eat? I'm prone to mouth ulcers and get a sore mouth just from eating a baguette!

I'm waiting for ERTD to clear off, then it's cape time. Poor DP thinks he's coming down with a bug though, so fingers crossed he's not out of action.

I'm still struggling with deciding whether to book a long-haul adventurous holiday for later in the year, or not. We were thinking of September, but then I worked out that if I got upduffed this month, I'd be 8 months pg by then... now, I know you can't put your life on hold, but what the hell do other people do with planning ahead vs ttc? DP sensibly suggested we just wait and see, and book it last minute, but I love to plan my trips and I worry about availability.... aaargh. What do other ladies do???

mrsb87 · 15/01/2014 09:57

I would do as your dp has suggested and get a last minute deal. You don't want to miss out on an amazing holiday if you book it now and get upduffed!

lil1ady · 15/01/2014 19:28

cosy your tongue hurts because of the bromelain. I get a lot of ulcers but it didn't get any from the pineapple.

as for the holiday we've booked 12-14wks ahead the last couple of years since TTC. just booked a trip to Cyprus for April. if I'm pg I can relax by the pool if not I can walk and sight see loads. win win! I'm not an adventure seeker though so...!

hd19 · 15/01/2014 20:35

Yay cookie, that's ace news!

hd19 · 15/01/2014 20:38

Cosy, I reckon boring as it is you'll have to wait to book, you can't cancel & get your money back if you're pg!

cookielove · 15/01/2014 20:39

Ahhh thanks :)

So nervous about it already!

Nessalina · 15/01/2014 20:41

Yeah, I think booking long haul for September is just tempting the Law of Sod that bit too much! I've booked a spa break for Easter, and a narrow boat holiday for May Smile Both ok if preggers, even better if not!

Hurrah Cookie!!!! Congrats! Grin

Sorry - been AWOL again. Work just gets in the way of life. Didn't even know you'd started a new fred. Still exhausted. Still applying for new jobs. Still no letter from clinic re: referral. Currently icing and man, it hurts! Waiting for DH to come home so we can shag and I can then sleep. Oh dear . . .

Hope everyone is well. Bye for another while I expect . . .

ZingSweetApple · 15/01/2014 23:38

toots123 · 16/01/2014 02:24

Hi cosy we have already booked our big holiday and I didnt want to try until we were back but dh says we cant not try just because of that.

went a bit mad with opk's last month and looking at dates im not sure when I ov'd.

lil1ady · 16/01/2014 08:57

grrr currently sat in traffic with dhs sa sample in my bra. bloody typical that it would be mental out there today of all days!

MissHobart · 16/01/2014 09:01

I hope you get pulled over! Muhahahaha! Grin Wink

DulcetMoans · 16/01/2014 09:08

cosy - you don't have to go last minute either. I've been working this stuff out as going to America with work in July. Looked at the airlines to see what their restrictions were on flying and was waiting to see what happened with this cycle to book. Since it wasn't my month I will get to booking it and that is 6 months in advance. So maybe wait a couple of months and then book it. You can't put your life on hold or you will do nothing and still might not have a baby.

Welcome back bear! How long have you been waiting for the letter now? It's been a while! Is it getting towards the time to chase it?

beetlehope · 16/01/2014 09:14

Congrats cookie x x

Ladies I am confused!
Had sex cd 9 till 12 - meant to last night but too tired- though this time we were gonna shag every day as eod didn't work!
Woke up this morning and bleeding :( not lots but looks like period and can't be! Used pre seed so can't be due to lack of lubrication and wasn't exactly passionate or rough!
Getting very peed off as before ttc never has any odd bleeding.
Worried as has hot loop diathermy last year but was given the all clear ( cervical cancer scare) x
Help ladies I can't be assed with all this shenanigans! X
