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!

Wooohoooo mich that's fanbloodytastic news!
Huge congratulations. Can you tell us what it is without outing yourself too much? I agree JS in those boots!

LotsaTuddles · 17/03/2014 15:58

lil1ady · 17/03/2014 16:07

congrats mich well done! and glad yo hear this is the start of going down the right path for you. definitely js in those boots!

min PMA sista, PMA!

lotsa I can't see a line.... but I was wrong about the last one. I think I'm just so used to seeing bfns my brain is incapable of seeing a second line! fx tho

Minion · 17/03/2014 16:32

If i press invert I can see a line I think, more a shadow poss but there's something I think.

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 17/03/2014 17:27

Mich that's amazing! Massive congratulations! Crack open the champers. I definitely third the JSing in lucky boots!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 17/03/2014 17:28

Thanks everyone Grin at JS in the boots... they're ankle boots, not that sexy!

The job is really, really specific, so I can't really say without outing myself. But suffice to say it's a very specialist position which I worked towards many years ago, but drifted away from due to different opportunities etc. Most of my friends still work in that field, so it really pained me to see them all carrying on while I got further and further away from it. I carried on pursuing my interest in an amateur way, and it would often strike a blow to my heart when I used to listen to others telling me all about this subject, then having to tell them what I 'used to do'. I consider myself very lucky to be given a second chance to prove myself. I wish I could tell you all what it is, because you'd love it!! It's something to do with animals. Cute cuddly animals that everyone loves Grin

Perhaps I should ride this wave of good luck and hop back on the JSing wagon tonight... I'm pretty sure today is icing day.

Ok off to look at Lotsa's Pee stick now

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 17/03/2014 17:28

In fact, where did you get the boots....? Wink

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 17/03/2014 17:32

Lotsa - at first I couldn't see anything, but when I clicked 'invert', I still couldn't see anything... and then I could. There does seem to be a very very faint line if you look at it from the right angle. So I voted 'YES' for you!

I think time will tell on this one - I think HCG levels are supposed to double every 48 hours, so give it a couple of days and test again with your FMU. Should be a lot clearer. says me who has never seen a real BFP but sounds like an expert because of what Dr Goofle has taught me

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 17/03/2014 17:33

Office Wil - just plain black ankle boots. They're nice!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 17/03/2014 17:37

Crack open the champers - Special bottle of Champers that we've been saving for a special occasion has been chilling in the fridge since I got the phonecall this morning - I'm nothing if not prepared! Wine

And I've decided to sod cooking, going to get an Indian takeaway for dinner after taking the dogs to the beach tonight. Bliss!!!

not sure if champers goes with curry but what the hell

somethingwittynot · 17/03/2014 18:31

Had a lovely day today. Was lovely just to relax with DP before he goes back to work. Hes been off sick since febuary.

Not really any symptoms today just a headache and some hot flushes x

somethingwittynot · 17/03/2014 18:35

Congrats mish

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 17/03/2014 19:11

-heads down to office to rub all pairs of black ankle boots-
Sounds like a perfect day Mich. Haven't had a good curry in ages.

cookielove · 17/03/2014 19:28

lotsa I see a line! I didn't have to invert although I did anyway and it was extra clear then!

mich congratulations on your dream job!

min agree with mich, I'm hopeful you will find out what's wrong ans5 be able to fix it :)

RPopz · 17/03/2014 19:33

Oh I do love a good ankle boot :-)

Curry goes with everything ;-)

JuniperJones · 17/03/2014 19:46

hello, many congratulations on your new job mich. I think you are a zookeeper and you're going to look after the pandas at Edinburgh zoo. PM me if I'm right! hahaha!

I think there's a bit of a line, lotsa, can you test again tomorrow am? Good luck!

Big hugs to min. It's shit to feel something is wrong but it's better to know and see if you can get it sorted than never know.

Well, I still appear to have my BFP (can't say the words quite yet!) and feeling pretty rotten but no where near as bad as with the molar pregnancy when I felt like I was dying. I have my scan next week...shitting myself already.

Keep going gang, you will get there. xxx

DulcetMoans · 17/03/2014 19:56

I see a line lotsa! But do another tomorrow.

Congrats mich, great news!! When can you start? Hope notice isn't too long!

Scan time already juniper, wow! Think you'll have a little tear?

Need to get cape on but feel lazy and DH has hurt his bloody back!

RPopz · 17/03/2014 20:11

I've just taken my cape off for the month... thank god!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 17/03/2014 20:27

Thanks everyone - feels weird getting congrats on this thread, maybe one day I'll get congrats for the right thing on here - a BFP - but I'll take all the good stuff I can get for now!

Juniper hah, I did think when I wrote it that it sounded like I was a Zookeeper. I'm not (god I would love to look after Pandas though!!), but it's not a bad guess.

Scan time already! Wow, good luck with it, and keep us posted.

Thank you all for being so lovely - I couldn't wait to tell you all, because there's so much goodwill on this thread. All those positive vibes flying around can only be good for everyone, I believe in Karma viroids - you've made me smile by being happy for me, let's hope you'll all have news for us to congratulate you on very soon Flowers to you all.

DP is a star - came home with a huge bunch of lilies for me (my faves), and is currently out foraging for curry hunter gatherer style...

And Min The Walking Dead is on soon - how's that for something to cheer you up!

Nessalina · 17/03/2014 20:46

Hurrah for Mich! Grin Well done lovely, it sounds like you deserve it! Hopefully the law of sod will mean a speedy BFP for you!! I'm sooo curious about what you do... I love the idea of zookeeper - fighting off the tigers with your samurai sword! Grin

Congrats Lotsa - I can definitely see a line!! Grin Best site ever, lol.

I second Mich's thoughts Min - it's shit that there's something wrong, but it's brilliant that it's something that can be found and hopefully fixed! Here's hoping it's dead simples Smile Deffo keep your wandering mouse hand from evil Dr Goofle!!

Wil, so sorry that you've not got closure yet Sad Hugs to you xx

ZingSweetCoconut · 17/03/2014 20:59

and if you don't mind I have a bit of good news as well - our house moving chain is now complete and we are hoping to move around mid-May. yay!
I can't wait! Smile

ZingSweetCoconut · 17/03/2014 21:06

min

just read back - sorry you have got some kind of problem you are not sure yet, but if it can be fixed, it will be fixed and there's so much that can be done nowadays so don't give up hope just yet, ok?

sending you big hugs! Thanks

DulcetMoans · 17/03/2014 21:12

Oh God. OBEM!

RPopz · 17/03/2014 21:22

Self torture Dulce... step away from the remote!
