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!

Well done something nice to have it confirmed.

Yes please do tell us your symptoms, he helps us know what to look out for and doesn't feed the crazy at all!

Kat you can get a pack of 20 hpts online for around £3. We call them Internet cheapies. It's not always a good thing to have such a disposable stash, because it leads to POAS with abandon. But it's good to have them if you think you might need to POAS a lot (irregular cycles confusing you for example). And then you can save the 'posh' pee sticks for when you really mean business Wink

Hope everyone had a nice weekend, happy Monday everyone

somethingwittynot · 24/03/2014 08:43

Thanks lovelys. Haha symptoms. Just more pissed off a DP waves of nausea and tiredness. Weeing more and sore boobs came next along with a very dry mouth to much saliva and a thirst. On off headaches to. I also had the few spates of fluttery feelings and some tightenigs/period pain

lil1ady · 24/03/2014 08:50

congrats something told u those things never give evaps! its a myth IMO!

NO it s NOT a pb! I can assure you my only obsession is poas, and the only thing to go in it is my urine....as far as I'm aware....I'm usually focussed on getting my legs in the air after DTD so who knows what dh gets up to Grin

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 24/03/2014 09:00

Congratulations something. Definitely keep checking back in and let us know how it's all going. Xx

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 09:04

I'm usually focussed on getting my legs in the air after DTD so who knows what dh gets up to He's washing his bits in your Penis Beaker Lil Grin

What does your DH think when you get your legs in the air after DTD. I tried it once and DP went "Oh for god's sake!", so I haven't tried it again! Did subtly put a pillow under my bum once though, that seemed to have the same effect with gravity iyswim

Can I ask a stupid question - what is an evap line? I've never quite worked out what it's supposed to look like, does it mean the line where the wee gets up to then dries out? I always leave my pee stick in my shampoo bottle ROC long enough that it soaks the whole test area, so not sure how an evap line could happen...?

I have been fooled with the internet cheapies though - the bit where there's a join between the test area and the lower bit - that sometimes holds the dye and creates a pink fuzzy line. First time it happened, I thought it was a BFP Sad But it's too low down to be in the test area. Watch out for that.... is that an evap line?!

RPopz · 24/03/2014 09:41

Congrats again something!

Lala, my OH's classics is: "what's the point of worrying about it, I don't see the point of stress, just don't think about it!" OH OKAY THEN, I'LL JUST STOP! Angry

Also its the other way round for us, I'm not fussed about the legs in the air thing but OH lifts me up by the ankles and shakes it in there HAHAHA nice

somethingwittynot · 24/03/2014 09:57

So had my doctors appointment for something else and had a faint line on the doctors test. Told me to re rest in a week and then book with the midwife and then give the doctor a call after my first scan

lil1ady · 24/03/2014 11:59

mich dh shoves pillows under me and holds my legs in the air and jiggles!

well I just had a phone call about my referral. appointment is booked for next Tuesday! yikes!

Now, IF I was doing an opk, which I'm obviously not (?) I would have a second dark line on it today... So I'm getting all up in his grill tonight...
Purely speculative you understand......

ZingSweetCoconut · 24/03/2014 13:00

minion

Grin or perhaps you dreamt it last night? coz that is acceptable, you can't help about your unconscious! Wink
Minion · 24/03/2014 13:12

zing that's got to be it. I must have dreamt it. I cannot be held accountable...

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 24/03/2014 13:13

What is happening to this thread? OPKs and Penis Beakers Shock
Enjoy your evening Min Wink

Good news on the appointment Lil.

Rpopz I think our other halves must be twins. He doesn't see the urgency in anything and always trots out the 'no point in worrying' line. Helpful.

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 13:16

RPopz and Lil your DHs are hilarious!

Glad all is ok Something

Go for it Min lots of PMA for you Grin

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 13:18

Sky news just reported that the relatives will be taken to Australia.

They must have found something concrete. But why take them to Australia, unless there are survivors or bodies to identify....?

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 13:18

oh shit, sorry everyone, posted on the wrong thread!!!
This was supposed to be on the one discussing the Malaysian flight Sad

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 13:19

Way to bring down a thread......

ZingSweetCoconut · 24/03/2014 14:05

That's ok mich

not long ago I thought I texted DH, but it somehow got posted on MN

I was not polite to himBlush Grin

lil1ady · 24/03/2014 14:08

I've just been watching the press conference mich so sad. makes me not want to get on a plane next month! min how do u do it for a job!

enjoy the shaggathon tonight min

OP posts:
MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 14:13

Very sad indeed.

Min it must hit home for you, hope it hasn't affected you and your colleagues too badly

not long ago I thought I texted DH, but it somehow got posted on MN

Oh god, Zing how the hell did you manage that?! I would cringe!!

I once sent a loving message to DP saying I wish he was in bed cuddling me instead of my hot water bottle .. then sent it to my sister by accident. I was SO relieved it was nothing worse!

Minion · 24/03/2014 14:14

Eyes closed tight and hope for the best.
Joking.
Try not to think about the worst case scenario in all honesty.
I just hope people one day will see that we don't have all those rules to piss everyone off, but because just once, if something goes wrong, then we need to know what's going on at all times.

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 14:17

I always think something like this freaks people out about flying, but we all happily get in our cars every day and are in far, far greater risk of an accident on a daily basis.

Big respect to you for what you do Min I couldn't cope with being nice to people for that length of time whilst dealing with everything else you have to deal with AND look glamorous at the same time!!

Anyway, sorry again for bringing down the tone of the thread!!!

ZingSweetCoconut · 24/03/2014 14:47

mich

I did cringe. and it was on one of my regular threads - they did laugh!Grin

I have no idea how it happened.

Minion · 24/03/2014 15:37

It's the glamorous bit I fail at most of the time haha!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 24/03/2014 15:42

Nonsense min- I picture you like one of those glam air crew from 'Catch me if you can', sashaying around the airport like you own the place looking effortlessly fabulous Wink

Zing were you afraid that your carefully constructed persona would come crashing down when they realized how you speak to your DH? Grin

Katgrant30 · 24/03/2014 15:44

I am not a good flyer at the best of times... Poor relatives having such an agonising wait for news!

Huge congrats to you Something!

Mich, thanks for advice on the Internet cheapies.. I do fear though that I would quickly abuse such a stash!! Will stick to buyin from shop whenever there is a glimmer of hope... :)

Good luck with all the shagging, ladies! I am also of the subtle-pillow-under-bum school. Although I think I've almost trained my lady bits to sort of hold it all in themselves, if you know what I mean?!?
