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!

Oops meant to say good job you're on the ground and hope you're able to take it easy at home xxx

dulcetmoan · 14/04/2014 14:29

Sounds good minion, although I do proofing in my job and know it can be annoying. I get annoyed if I miss something!

Great news on the scan juni! Did you get a picture? When will you get the results allowing you to unclench? You must have super pelvic floor muscles!

JuniDD · 14/04/2014 16:34

hello, yes I got some pics which is nice. Smile Don't joke about pelvic floor muscles. I didn't drink enough so had to drink more and in the end I think the scan person thought I was going to pop. Biggest wee ever after. Shock

RPopz · 14/04/2014 16:35

Phone logged me out today! Kerfuffle changing the password but least its done now. What app do you have Dulce?? Is there a mn one?

Great news Juni! Hopefully you can unclench just a little! X

Wilhelminand · 14/04/2014 18:03

We finally have sunshine! I have a Mumsnet app.

Fantastic news Juni, hopefully you can relax a bit now.

dulcetmoan · 14/04/2014 18:48

Yeah, there's an app popz, it's pretty good actually. I have an iPhone, I don't know if it's on other app related phones.

Nothing more satisfying than a big wee juni! My bladder is tiny already, I can see that being a problem in pregnancy! Running already makes me need a wee which will only get worse!

RPopz · 14/04/2014 20:39

App found and downloaded! Can see this conflicting slightly with my vow to spend less time on here... and therefore less time obesessing.... Hmm

RPopz · 14/04/2014 20:50

Oooh shiny app!! Grin

Nessalina · 14/04/2014 21:01

I love the app Smile Mumsnet on tap!
Glad to hear the scan went well Juni! Only two weeks to go til mine and I can't wait.
The symptoms really have got you early Min, poor thing Confused It was definitely my bowel that felt pregnant first TMI!! The trapped wind is a bitch, especially when cramping causes such panic, lol.

lala5 · 14/04/2014 21:29

juni is that your first scan? Must be lovely to see baby on the screen, like it's more real.

min it sounds like you're having quite a few symptoms! Have you been to the doctor yet? Do you know due date? I am sure you've said so already but I would have to scroll back.

My mates in labour just now - she messaged me from the delivery room asking for stories to distract her - she was 6cm dilated. It did make me laugh a bit - of all the texts I've had that was pretty special!

Can't wait to meet her wee boy :)

Anyone else watching obem?

lala5 · 14/04/2014 21:32

Wow! App is great!

Minion · 14/04/2014 21:34

Haha, I've just said to the husband if I didn't know any better id think I was a lot further on.
Fatigue got me today. Wow I was knackered. Half 7 and masterchef did a sleepy minion make.
I'm only 4+5 and due 17 December so a long way away yet.
I've discovered peppermint tea for the wind. It's like crack!
No obem for me, game of thrones all the way.

dulcetmoan · 14/04/2014 21:39

I'm on OBEM lala. Giving me the drive to get my cape on after. I want my turn!

Until then i have a kitten trying to get in my teacup!

JuniDD · 14/04/2014 21:44

Can we have pix of the kitten dulcet? And yes, get that cape on!

Apparently, one of my FB friends directed/produced this OBEM and has been going on about. Hope it's a good one.

Hi lala, this was my 2nd scan, I had one at 9wks for reassurance as my first pregnancy was a molar pregnancy. They kept asking me today if it was my first pregnancy, I'll have to find a better answer than "my second, but first with a baby." Hmm And Shock to your friend, though if she's that chilled it all sounds good from here!

minion I think I must be super suggestible, one friend is a week or so ahead of me and everytime she told me she was getting a new symptom I did at the corresponding time. I am now reading your posts and passing gas and belching which has NOT been going on up til now! Glad you've found some relief for one symptom and really sorry the pukes have already kicked in so soon.

Minion · 14/04/2014 21:44

Awww that's like that advert where all the kittens crawl out the biscuit packet.
They don't sell them at my tesco, id be all over them! What kind of kitten dulcet?
Post a pic x

RPopz · 14/04/2014 21:44

Not watched any of this series of OBEM... makes me way too broody! Envy

I luurrve peppermint tea. Grin Grin

Minion · 14/04/2014 21:45

juniDD voms subsided thankfully, it was because my stomach was so full I couldn't digest anything else on top.
I suspect I'll see it again tho x

lala5 · 14/04/2014 21:57

Kitten picture please! My 2 babies are flat out next to me. Big 5 year old fur babies. I gave my horse an old lady purple rinse today, he was not impressed. He's grey so yellow most of the time.

Obem made me cry today - if I wasn't such a softie I'd read too much into that Grin

I am being very patient this month and I'm not testing until due date I'm determined!

My friends swear by peppermint tea and ginger biscuits during pregnancy.

dulcetmoan · 14/04/2014 21:59

She's the naughty kind of kitten! Shes is just a normal kitten though, all the colours but no posh breed. Should probably stop calling her a kitten, she's about 5 mnths now but I have an older cat so she's the baby. Not sure how to post photos but will if I can figure it out!

All the babies are out now! Awwww!

lala5 · 14/04/2014 22:42

Watching previous episode and sobbing away - oh dear.

lil1ady · 15/04/2014 08:50

morning all.
don't know what was going on but app wouldn't let me on yesterday! I do normally love the app but yesterday....grrrr!
anyway...
juni glad to hear the scan went well. are you feeling more relaxed about it now?

min strong symptoms sounds like a good sign to me, even if it does suck! hope the peppermint tea works well for u. can't remember who mentioned ginger biscuits but yes! ginger is supposed to settle the stomach. dmil swears by it.

as for kittens my mum let my lil Bros kitten out for first time on sat. last night we couldn't find it to bring it in for the night! I felt really bad as I'd let him out again, but luckily my step dad found him in the bush at the back of the garden. he is so cute. he looks like a little tiger in the grass! if I can't have a baby I want a kitten. will have to work on dh first tho.

well had 2nd scan yesterday. follicle now 20mm and another one 13mm. lining 9.1mm and she said that's perfect as they do ivf transfers at 10mm. 2nurses told me to go and "have a lovely evening, u know what u need to do!". Blush so just hsg to get done now then an 8week wait for an appointment with the consultant after that. after mins success I'm determined to throw everything at it these next few months in the hope we get a natural bfp before we see the consultant.

sun is shining here again and supposed to be staying which is good as I'm having a BBQ tomorrow for my birthday, can't believe I'm another year older and still not pg

happy Tuesday peeps

Minion · 15/04/2014 09:23

lil no expert on follicle stuff but if the nurse said it's looking good! then don your cape sister!
Have a fab night wink wink.
I really want a cat. Husband is more of a dog person, he likes the idea of taking the dog for walks, but it'll be me doing it as I work shifts.
I'm just not a fan of the drooling and whimpering when they aren't getting enough attention. At least cats are a bit indifferent, they'll come to you if they want to, not when you want them to.

How lovely is it to see the sunshine!! It makes everything seem so much more happier and spring like.
I have rediscovered my appetite. Woke up (again stupidly early) and couldn't think of anything else but poached eggs on toast... Soooo good!

Wilhelminand · 15/04/2014 09:52

I prefer cats to dogs too but tbh I couldn't be bothered cleaning up behind an animal's mess. It's bad enough trying to clean up after the three of us.

Lil that sounds great. Hope you have a productive week Wink.

Well I have booked a smear test. If it's worked for two of you, can't harm to try!

lala5 · 15/04/2014 10:52

Great news lil get that cape on! Wink [wi

My app is being silly, it doesn't seem happy today.

I love my cats they amuse me so much and keep me company as Mr la works nights. But remember if you're pg you must wear gloves to clean litter tray out as they can carry toxoplasmosis.

2 days til I can test and I'm driving myself mad with symptom spotting. Please help!

RPopz · 15/04/2014 11:00

Cats and dogs here. I'm threatening to get another puppy of I'm not pg by September!

Good news on the scan lil. Get that cape on!!

Going for my follow up GP app tonight. Still haven't decided about the crazy pills Shock Shock
