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!

Hi ladies! My eTWOT (embryo TWOT!) is going well. As all effing hell had broken loose while I was out of the office, there have been plenty of fires to put out and keep my mind off things. Nobody should feel guilty for whining. This ttc business is ridiculous at best. I have to stay positive or I will become homicidal! Coping mechanism.

I have always said farting around! My granny's favorite, I picked it up from her. Her parents were...German? I think? I do come out with britishisms once in awhile thanks to you girls and a colleague at work who is a UK transplant (she married a Yankee. Tsk).

Big weekend plans beyond spider killing? I am in Syracuse, NY, this weekend for sorority reunion. Just got to the hotel and need to try to get to sleep. Wide awake from four hours of driving.

lala5 · 12/04/2014 06:53

Hi gals, it's so nice to be home, I've been away this week with work. Actually one of the things I was doing was teaching people how to capture and confine tarantulas and other spiders safely! It's a shame you couldn't have taken the course ;)

wil is it definitely the witch? Sorry if so :(

I'm in twot and trying not to symptom spot...and yes wine does definitely sound nice - no wine for me last night coz I didn't get home til 9pm and I'm up early today to do the horses.

Don't. Symptom. Spot. (subliminal message to myself). If I'm not pg this month I'll be really upset because we did everything we could.

red I love the idea of a sorority reunion, it's like something in a movie. Are you going to go in all dolled up like romy and Michelle? We don't have sororities here - if we did I certainly wouldn't have got in. I was in the 'a bit off the wall' group at uni. The boys thought we were scary and opinionated. Actually in that case I'm sort of having a reunion thing today as my 2 best mates from halls are coming to visit.

Have a great day gals, stop poas min ;) x

Minion · 12/04/2014 08:42

Don't worry I'm stopping. I've now adopted (well husband has forced me into) a zen like, what will be, will be, approach.
I'm not yet allowing myself to get excited as it's still too early but we'll see I guess.

DulcetMoans · 12/04/2014 08:54

red - sorority event sounds fab. Although I've seen Greek - drama central!

Off to meet bestie for a pampering today. My opportunity to vent about TTC in RL cos she is TTC too! Probably not quite as honest disgusting as I might say here but still good to discuss it!

aylesburyduck · 12/04/2014 08:58

morning!

wil sorry the witch got you and red ... I am well jel about your sorority reunion. It sounds so coolGrin

Off to the big smoke again today Mr Duck needs a suit for a wedding. This will be fun!

Wilhelminand · 12/04/2014 12:04

Definitely the witch. No spider stomping, but I have discovered a box of magners in the garage so that will be getting opened tonight. Symptom spotting is a stupid idea and slap me around the head if I start doing it again.

Red road trip and sorority reunion! American culture is so different to ours in a lot of ways. I kind of always think sororities are made up just for movies. Hope you have loads of fun. If you can be so zen and positive then I'm going to make an effort to.

Haha Lala. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than go on that course! I'm not a friend of bugs. Good luck avoiding the symptom spotting nightmare.

Enjoy your days Dulcet and Ayles. I have been emergency tidying for surprise lunch guests. May just get away with it!

RPopz · 12/04/2014 13:50

Ooh Ayles that is exciting! Have fun!

Red, sorority reunion does sound just like something out of a movie to me too!

Good luck with the not symptom spotting lala. I know what you mean anyway, we're throwing everything we've got at it this month - so if bfp is not obliging I will be seriously disheartened also!!

Bloody surprise guests! Hope it'll take your mind off the witch anyway Wil :-)

RPopz · 12/04/2014 14:38

Argh, god. Gloaters again! Why start a thread just to stay "hey guess what I'm pregnant and I had no idea!" ???

Must. Learn. To. Stay. In. Here.

Minion · 12/04/2014 17:43

Weather's a bit gash, isn't it?
How's everyone's weekends going? Apart from dodging mn gloaters?

RPopz · 12/04/2014 18:52

Tis a bit isn't it! Thought it was supposed to be nice this weekend. Yesterday was glorious.

I was working last night and only managed 3 hours sleep this morning so haven't done a single productive thing today! Apart from walk the pup. Debating whether to have another takeaway tonight!

Mr cbfm is still saying LOW... but according to my phone app I'm in my most fertile 6 days now. This is only the second month I've used the app but wonder if I've just been mistiming the JSing all this time! Was pretty haphazard about it in the months before that. clutching at straws

How you feeling Min?

Hope everyone's had a good day!

Minion · 12/04/2014 19:03

I think cbfm 'learns' about your cycle the first time you use it doesn't it? I'm sure I read somewhere the first month is always wrong or so.
I'm ok, I've made friends with the porcelain throne today, I can see us becoming fast friends. Don't feel sick, it's just coming on in seconds and then goes.
Breadsticks are getting huge and sore and I'm currently backed up to hell and have been having really bad trapped wind.
Other than, I actually feel quite good, not too exhausted and not emotional either. Which is odd as these are the two things you see on the movies, not the farting, burping and hair going lank the day after I wash it.. Grrrr..

RPopz · 12/04/2014 19:07

Yeah, I think its the phone app that's wrong as its just worked out as a "normal" cycle. The monitor should be more accurate for me. Hopefully!

Well being sick is no fun but all good signs! :-) x

cookielove · 12/04/2014 19:19

Minion i am not sure if you got my update on my pregnancy you asked a little while back and when i came onto my computer i saw it sitting there waiting to be posted but i got caught up with changing my bleeding password so lost the post.

So here is my little up date, i am doing well i have less days where i feel nauseous, which is so nice i also don't have the constant metallic taste i've had since day one of pregnancy so that's good, a bit tired still.

Had my 12 week scan and the baby was alive and well, she was punching the air, so sweet and just had my midwife appointment and heard the heart beat which was amazing!!

Hope everyone is well, i will carry on with my lurking Grin

Minion · 12/04/2014 19:37

Oh cookie that's so lovely. I'm so happy for you. Glad youre out of the vom-phase, I feel I'm about to enter it.. Bleurgh.
I've only had that metallic taste one morning before breakfast, it was bad enough in all honesty.
I'll keep lurking too, cheering on our jsers.

Wilhelminand · 12/04/2014 19:54

What's all this talk about lurking? Don't desert us! Glad things are going well for you two ladies.

I've had a nice day. Having a well-deserved drink to finish it off. Although I am a total lightweight these days.

Did everyone hear you're supposed to change your password because of some hacking thing? And also on your email etc if you use the same password for that as this.

RPopz · 12/04/2014 20:31

Definitely didn't just order another chinese.... Babies like Chinese, right?

I never heard that. Wonder if that's why mn keeps logging me out all of a sudden.

Wilhelminand · 12/04/2014 20:55

Yeah it's doing that to me too.

I also definitely have not ordered a chinese. No spare ribs in this house...

cookielove · 12/04/2014 21:02

RPopz babies love chinese Wink

Minion i haven't vomed yet, although there is still time I hope you are as lucky as me, and sail through the first tri :)

Minion · 12/04/2014 21:09

cookie I don't think I will be. I've vommed 4 times today, mostly cause I was just so full. I didn't realise it started this early. Gutted cause I just the most deliciousdinner of fajitas, strawberries and pistachio meringues.
And there was me fretting that I had no symptoms yesterday.
Well it came right back and bit my arse didn't it. Ha.

There's naff all on TV tonight, I'm settling for another bastard rerun of QI.
I do love Alan Davies

RPopz · 12/04/2014 21:15

Not fancying BGT then?

cookielove · 12/04/2014 21:20

Oh no Minion well if nothing else, it will make you feel more pregnant

One thing i found is, as soon as i felt hungry i felt sick, there was no gradual lead up to it, i still have to steady myself every now and then, gag so much think i'm gonna be sick, breath through it and be fine. I really hate being sick!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 12/04/2014 21:20

Evening all,

Just changed my password, and I've forgotten it already. Bum.

Lovely to hear your updates Cookie and Min - keep filling us in on your symptoms, and any tips are always appreciated!

RPopz stay away from the Conception board. I've got it hidden on MN, so I only get to this thread through 'Threads I'm on'. Saves me looking at any of the crap. I've also hidden AIBU, cos it dries me nuts, and Relationships, cos it's depressing. It's made MN a whole better place for me.

Hope you're all having a nice weekend so far. I've spent a very rare day off with DP today - he's self employed, and is having some staffing issues at the mo, so he literally hasn't taken a day off for many, many weeks. Today was lovely, went to the beach and out for lunch.

I've cocked it up now though - I have blood sugar issues, and get VERY tetchy when I'm hungry, I just can't cope with low blood sugar. I took it out on DP and snapped at him over something stupid, and now he's sulking in the other room...it's icing day today, I think, so I kind of need to make up with him pronto....

Happy weekend to everyone xx

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 12/04/2014 21:23

OOps X posted there.. sorry about the vomming symptoms for the preggo ladies.

I've read that it's important to eat little and often, so as not to get an empty stomach, apparently that can make you feel sick, as Cookie has found says me, the expert who has never been upduffed in my life

I'm watching Toy Story, for the umpteenth time, there is literlally nothing but shite on TV. Why is it always shit on a Saturday?

Minion · 12/04/2014 21:53

No BGT for me, can't bare those types of programs, id rather geek out on science or American sitcoms. Given up and come to bed, hes next to me watching golf on ipad and its boring me to ribbons.

mich and all jsers, when it happens, when, not if, here's a top tip. Take a glaS's or 6 of water to bed every night, mouth is currently like ghandis flip flop...

Wilhelminand · 12/04/2014 21:57

There is NOTHING on. Tv is dire.
Oh Min, that's rubbish. I think you can get tablets from the doctor if it gets too bad.
