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!

I'm excited about peeing on my naughty contraband tomorrow..... that's really sad isn't it??

JuniDD · 05/04/2014 11:21

Ah wil, I just needed a nudge to do it so it was good timing. You've also put how I feel about that other group very well. I'm worried enough without other people's worries intruding! (Keep thinking "ooh, that feels like I did with the molar" even though I know it's not. Idiot).

If you met me IRL you'd be shocked as I don't think my knockers look that big. DH is baffled. The bra lady was also like "I can only measure you up for TODAY so you'll have to keep coming back as you will get bigger." Shock I can't cope!

Didn't say before, yay for new house min! Measure up and scrub it down before you move any stuff in. Bad memories of our move...ick!

Right, this weekend I am not wallowing in me bed, I am going to the movies with a friend...then returning to wallow. Have fun all, make sure you JSers get the afternoon delight in. xx

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 05/04/2014 12:18

Your boobs won't necessarily get that much bigger. I used to be an E cup and was an F during pg. After bf I am prob only a D. It's ruined me I tell you Grin!

Haha Rpopz, you need a mini hooya for that!

RPopz · 05/04/2014 12:33

Hahaha, I know. Thoroughly deserved.

Also meant to say, Lil, that's the same book I read it in! Starting to get the impression its not a reliable source!

lala5 · 05/04/2014 15:24

Hiya viroids! (wave)

Not been on for 4 days and came back to 5 pages of posts to catch up on, you've been busy!

Lots of chat about blastos (good luck!), a new house (congratulations!), blood tests (good news!), work folk getting it on and depression.

I sympathise with anyone coping with depression, anxiety or any other mental health problems - I have suffered from anxiety all my life. Phrase used by parents and teachers 'she's a worrier' became less cute as I got older. I have crippling panic attacks and anxiety, it's really not nice. I manage it nowadays with CBT but it never really goes away. Used to be on citalopram but came off it when we decided to ttc. Absolutely awful time coming off it but fine now.

How are the SOTM attempts going? We're at every other day just now. Me and dh are still on our epic road trip, in Edinburgh just now (home!). Heading back down south tomorrow :( very sad to leave.

RPopz have you tried the contraband yet? I brought mine with me and as I thought my cycle is later.

Have a great day!

lala5 · 05/04/2014 15:25

Ps feel free to hooya me for that last bit!

RPopz · 05/04/2014 16:11

Lala I had horrendous withdrawal effects the first time coming off citalopram but the second time was weirdly fine. Does cbt work for you?

Start using contraband tomorrow! Weirdly excited.... I already got my hooya!

2 more hours at work and got a killer headache... :-(

RPopz · 05/04/2014 16:12

Plus I'm hoping to discover I actually ov much earlier or later than I thought.... to explain the last 6 months!

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 05/04/2014 19:35

Ha! Did anyone see the song the judges were singing at the start of The Voice? or am I the only one who watches such pish? Only our bloomin' anthem. This surely is a positive sign we are all going to get up the duff imminently.

Hope you've survived work RPopz.

My SOTM effort was practically non-existent Lala. April is my month... Hope your Scottish conception is proving likely. I thought both starting and coming off citalopram was HIDEOUS. I was throwing up and everything.

RPopz · 05/04/2014 19:54

Ooh I'm recording it. Got to wait for DH to come home...

RPopz · 05/04/2014 21:22

Ahahah oh god, that was so terrible....

Gotta love Will.i.am though... wouldn't mind procreating with him

lil1ady · 05/04/2014 21:36

hi all. rpopz I actually really liked the book. I went and found a couple of the studies it referred to afterwards too. I think u have to read everything with a pinch of salt tho.

interesting hearing different stories re citalopram. I first went on it at about 19 and didn't notice a massive difference really and last year I didn't take it when I was prescribed it because of ttc, then I lost my job anyway, the source of the stress, and had some time off to get better on my own
I've only been prescribed ads twice but have had several bouts of depression over the years. I still don't feel completely back to myself from last years stuff, but I find I'm good at recognising it in myself and giving myself a talking to! I manage it by setting myself small, achievable goals each day and I have a wonderful dh who helps me by talking things thru with me. on the anxiety side dh is a sufferer but CBT has helped him, that and being proved wrong about things he didn't think he can do. when he gets panicky I try to remind him about the CBT tools he can use and we talk about all his negative feelings and I try and dispell his worst case scenario approach by telling him why it isn't as bad as he thinks from an outside POV. our lil joke ATM when he gets like it is I tell him "ur not special!" mainly when he's worrying what others might think and mist likely they won't give a rats ass! he is of course v special to me Grin

rpopz I hope ur cbfm excitement lasts...m3 and its totally warn off for me!

min that makes sense re house. have fun measuring up! Grin

ohfourfoxache · 06/04/2014 01:58

Very quick check in.

Ertd. I'm out Sad

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 06/04/2014 08:05

Oh Fox that's crap. Have Wine.

I need a hooya. I'm feeling a little bit sick this morning (which isn't uncommon for me) so of course I'm getting hopeful. But I think I'm only about 4 or 5 dpo (who's counting?) So it's obviously not related. I honestly never used to be this bonkers Grin.

Lil you sound like you have a lovely relationship with your DH.

lala5 · 06/04/2014 08:10

fox sorry the witch got you :(

Ov today (naughty contraband use) - dh delighted as he's been jumped on 3 times in 24 months. Don't think we're JSing as well as something previous SOTM but giving it a good shot! Been bloody difficult this week as we've stayed with a different person each night (a lot of squeaky beds).

Interesting hearing you had no withdrawal lil I was like a heroin addict when I came off - sweating, sick, looked terrible. Doc never told me to do it slowly so I just stopped. Then doc didn't know citalopram withdrawal was a thing - he thought I had swine flu!

RPopz happy first day of contraband! Don't get obsessed or you might have to move to another fred ;). I discovered mine is a week later than I'd thought.

CBT works for me if I bother to do it, but sometimes I forget and spiral.

Heading back home today, have a good day!

lala5 · 06/04/2014 08:11

24 hours not months!

lala5 · 06/04/2014 08:15

lil I totally resonate with what you said about 'you're not special'. Although it sounds harsh I think it's such an important thing for anyone with anxiety to remember and my dh is really good at reminding me too. I always panic that folk think this or that about me and he says they have their own lives and worries why the heck would they be spending all their time focussing on you?! It's such a great reality check.

lala5 · 06/04/2014 08:17

wil I reject your hooya request, I don't think you're bonkers and think you are amazing for staying positive. A little mini hooya to make you feel better x

Omg 3 posts with same thing. Oops

RPopz · 06/04/2014 08:52

Sorry fox :-(

Lil, its lovely that your DH is so supportive. Mine doesn't really understand and I struggle to make him.

Mini hooya Wil.

Cbfm peeing was a bit of an anticlimax!! Lol. First time I've ever seen a line on anything I've peed on though ;-)

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 06/04/2014 08:55

Hahaha so important you told me thrice. Amazing JSing effort whilst being house guests!! I think you definitely deserve SOTM. That's crazy that you were a week later than you thought. I also wonder if I stop putting effort in too soon. Hope your drive home isn't too arduous.

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 06/04/2014 09:01

Rpopz you'd built it up too much. Your expectation was too high Wink. So does the line mean you have to get JSing?

RPopz · 06/04/2014 09:07

No I think it was just the control! Haha! I have to pee again tomorrow as well... hope its not going to make me do it every day til ov!

Lala, we had to JS while we had houseguests staying a couple of times, we called it stealth fertilisation ;-)
