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!

Random stabby boob. Could be a sprog could be ERTD. Probably ERTD

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 20/03/2014 15:18

Hahaaha something. It's BOUND to be a symptom. Everything is a symptom.

It probably is the cause of your tiredness min.

Thanks for asking rpopz. I still feel crap. It's probably stress. I don't feel stressed but I do tend to get a sore stomach when I'm upset or worried about stuff. I have been skiving so much today that my phone battery is about to die Blush.

aylesburyduck · 20/03/2014 17:27

hello lovelies. sorry I've not been around much...busy busy on the house move.

Hope you are all well and keeping your capes on xx

DulcetMoans · 20/03/2014 19:38

Oh it's not completely disabled him or anything, just not stopped bloody moaning about it. Not even obvious moaning, just the grimace and whince every time he moves! I'm a loving supportive wife in RL of course but I have said he has until the weekend to recover, then he's mine!

Remarkably seems better tonight with the football on...

So pleased for you min, sounds like you have a plan of action as well which is always reassuring!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 20/03/2014 20:51

Aahh great news Min very pleased for you. Grrr at the receptionist though, it really pisses me off when they read results to you over the phone. They should just email them to you - ffs we live in the 21st century where the internet is the norm for working life. Surely they could email the results and the GPs quick interpretation of them far easier than they can read the wrong results to you?

Dulcet Just tell your DH that out of respect for his fragile state, you'll let him rest by hopping on top. He should be happy with that arrangement, and you can whip onto your back and get your legs in the air instantly afterwards!

lala5 · 20/03/2014 21:41

Hi viroids!

wil hugs - you sound like you need a break, can you do something nice this weekend?

something resist temptation to symptom spot ;) know it's hard - a wee hooya your way as encouragement (I can hardly talk - I'm the worst - I had 'stabby boob' all last week and got all excited)

Jeeze could this whole 'makeupfreeselfie' thing have come at worse time? I have teenage skin due to ERTD and having to put up a photo of that is horrific!

Hi duck how did the move go? Cape firmly on!

Dulcet - tell him just to stay still and you can do the work!

mich is the legs in air thing true? I wondered!

lala5 · 20/03/2014 21:42

Am watching davina's challenge - that woman's bloody amazing! I thought I had a busy life but she's packing more into that challenge than I ever could!

Had sore head at work today and totally fed up - took my horse out for a gallop over the fields to blow some cobwebs away, felt better :)

RPopz · 20/03/2014 22:14

I think the legs in the air thing is a myth Lala! (Doesn't stop me doing it though!)

Yeah I'm not sure I get this makeupfreeselfie thing! How does it raise awareness for cancer?? I'm genuinely asking, I have no idea... my fb feed is full of attention seeking posers doing it unfortunately.... not many of them have actually donated anything.

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 20/03/2014 22:28

Yeah I think the legs in the air is a myth... although my DM (retired midwife) did advise me to do it, saying it's only logical that you should keep as much of it where it's supposed to be for as long as possible

somethingwittynot · 20/03/2014 22:36

Oh my god do not talk about #nomakeupselfie. This girl on my facebook lied about starting the whole thing off set up her own donation line and people donated 50k. We proved her wrong and she got all stroppy. Jeez.

lala5 · 20/03/2014 22:48

mich I totally agree - it's weird as hell, but I actually got told to 'go home and get busy' by my mother, she's desperate for a grandchild poor gal.

I did the whole no make up selfie thing, but only after I donated twice to the text number, £6 altogether and I felt extremely cringey for doing it. It was not even slightly glamorous, unlike some of the clearly sunbedded and windswept ones I've seen today. I can't even write the word 'selfie' without cringing - I totally agree, they are for the self-obsessed and ridiculous. It's the first and last 'selfie' I'm ever posting on my Facebook wall and only because I'm so passionate about cancer research uk as my gran died from undiagnosed cancer.

My three massive spots were there for the world to see - ha ha!

something wtf!? Is she deranged? Ha ha!

lala5 · 20/03/2014 22:49

Anyone else got an allergy to hashtags? Why do people use hashtags on Facebook? I think I'm getting a bit old...

Minion · 21/03/2014 06:52

Urge to selfies in general however if it gets people talking about cancer then go right ahead, just make sure that the donation goes right alongside it too, otherwise it's a pointless, but well intentioned, plank of an idea.

I have a few ppl on mine who post selfies of themselves in front of the mirror every day, I mean. They don't look any different, they rarely say why they are doing it.
I just don't get it!

Zeesus it's early, had the most random dream (can tell I'm close to icing, I always go a bit haywire dream wise) and husband has gone somewhere for meetings all day.
So pjs till 3 it is then! Woohoo

Went to M&S yesterday, bought the nice 2 dine for a tender and noticed they are now selling Easter stuff. Eggs, well yes, I expect that.
But it gets worse, Easter crackers. Like the ones for Christmas, but with rabbits on.
WTAF?
I thought I'd seen it all last year with Easter cards, but now this?
Am I missing out? Do you have a sit down meal at Easter with your family?
Cause I work shifts it's very hard to get home, so I don't. But should I start?

aylesburyduck · 21/03/2014 07:49

min my family has never made a big thing of easter we just share an egg, fire up the bbq, go for a walk and that sort of thing. But I've a number of friends who treat easter as another Christmas, they put up decorations, exchange gifts, and have an easter lunch (same as Christmas, minus the pudding!)

I understand the importance of lent and the rising of christ, and I have heard before that easter is just as important to Christian's as Christmas (sorry...my understanding of Christian celebration is woeful) but AFAIK the friends who celebrate aren't religious.

Maybe I've been the one missing out on the other "Christmas" all these years...on the other hand, I think I prefer our way of spending easter!

phew that was a bit of a philosophical debate thus early in the morning Grin

ohfourfoxache · 21/03/2014 08:23

Easter CRACKERS? Fucking hell.

I can't imagine making a big deal of Easter in the same way as we make a big deal of Christmas. Not sure I could cope with it! Grin

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 08:35

She is very deranged and when people started questioning it she deleted the comments!

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 08:53

I POAS again because im an addict ( hooya me please) again I got another faint faint line not sure if its an very early + or an evap

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 21/03/2014 09:43

something I think you may be preggers! Also your friend sounds bonkers.

I HATE selfies. Thankfully have not been nominated because everyone knows what a grumpy cow I am I just don't get the narcissistic need for people to post pictures of themselves for presumably others' approval. Not talking about the cancer ones, just in general. I doubt most of the people on my fb donated either most of them looked dog rough

We normally would have an Easter dinner. But my mum is v catholic so it was always quite important in our house. If I don't meet up with my family then we don't celebrate it though.

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 09:49

I did 2 tests from the same sample same result on both. Put them on can you see a line Grin dont want to get to excited though incase its evaps on both and ERTD comes

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 09:51

Ah we usally just have a roast dinner but when we were little my parents used to hide chocolate eggs all round the garden and we would find them. DS1 is big enough for that this year!!

RPopz · 21/03/2014 10:02

Hashtags on fb? What is the fucking point!?

I've been nominated for a selfie (urgh) but I don't really have an issue with people seeing me without makeup so... I don't really see how it means anything for me to do one! Iyswim.

Omg something!! Post us a link!

Easter is just chocolate eggs and an extra day off work here! No decorations or crackers! (Wtf)

RPopz · 21/03/2014 10:03

Also something... is she actually donating the money?!

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 10:55

Oh god another update. Turns out the just giving page she was claiming is hers is someone elses!

somethingwittynot · 21/03/2014 10:56

If you squint you can see it. Im so confused. I think its an evap but ive done three tets from the same sample and they all have this result. They look pinker in real life.

Drop all things contraband, we don't want you're OPK's here. Grab a cape, stroke the unicorn and reserve your spot in the pity Jacuzzi...It's JUST SHAGGING THREAD 21!!
RPopz · 21/03/2014 11:05

Can sort of see a shadow, its only a tiny pic on my phone though. You going to get an early response one?
