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!

X post lol sorry! His sa was poor but he won't change anything to help? Not sure I could deal with that!!

Hello! Sorority reunion was a blast. la, we totally WERE the 'a bit off the wall' group, so not at all like what you've seen in American cinema (although a lot of Greek groups ARE very much like what you've seen, alas). Because of our totally unique and kick-ass personalities, we had a hard time competing with the cookie-cutter groups, never hit our member quota and ultimately got kicked off campus. The chapter re-colonized a few years ago, which was very exciting for us old-timers. The girls, though very nice, dress like there's a fine to pay for every extra inch of clothing. Yowza. I think I saw actual ass cheeks. Very fun time, though! Spent a lot of time with an old friend, the kind that you can just pick right back up with even if you haven't seen each other in years. That's a really great relationship to have.

cookie so good to hear from you. Please stick around!

juni when the day comes, I'm sure I'll feel the same - excited and effing terrified. Definitely latch on to the excitedness and enjoy it.

Nothing new to report here. It has been exactly one week so far since I found out they were able to freeze our embryo. I saw the clinic's number pop up on my phone today and my heart stopped beating for a minute I thought maybe it was the genetic testing results but they were just confirming my acupuncture appointment for tomorrow. Foiled!

Redshoes56 · 15/04/2014 22:47

lil I don't know what I'd do. I'm a terrible liar so I would probably wait a cycle, even though you'd probably be fine at Day 12. Every clinic/radiologist has different guidelines. Mine said Day 10 but I have seen some (at least here in the U.S.) that allow you to do it as late as Day 12. But they want your lining to be very thin for the procedure and I'd hate for you to have to go through it a second time because your timing was off -- once was enough, thank you very much!

lil1ady · 15/04/2014 22:51

rpopz I may be being a little unfair...he started taking fertilaid after the results...but he does forget to take it when he's supposed to. I just think the caffeine is such an easy thing to change so y not try it.

red glad u had a great time. hopefully it helped the week go quicker. if we had sororities I would either have not been accepted into one, or being the determined cow I am, I'd have made my own...for just me! I too have a friend I can go ages without seeing and still be like we spoke yesterday. I definitely appreciate her more now after my "best" friend turned out to be so two faced last year, and have been trying to make more effort to see her.

lil1ady · 15/04/2014 22:53

x post red! apart from the one cycle I randomly ovd on CD14 and 2at cd18 I normally don't ov before cd20, and last week's ultrasound at cd14 my lining was really thin....so this is y I'm considering risking it. it would be sods law I'd ov cd12 tho!

GossipWitch · 15/04/2014 23:09

can I join pls? I am on the ttc threads but they are all scientific and I kind of feel a bit left out, as I told them I was just going to wing it and enjoy baby making and they are talking about opks and things. so any way 31 years, old 2 previous kids, just got periods back after 10 months off depo. Planning on doing another test on 5th may if AF doesn't arrive on 3rd.

Wilhelminand · 15/04/2014 23:14

I'd love to advise Lil but I don't know anything about it, sorry. Maybe Fox would know? That sounds shitty about your 'friend'. But you still see her?

Haha Red, that sounds funny. Wish I had seen the outfits. Glad you had a great time and fx for when the clinic phones.

Don't feel guilty Lala. My effort at reducing caffeine has been shocking. We all have some things we're adamant about and other things we're more relaxed about. I have a bee in my bonnet about the alcohol for personal reasons (and I think the government guidelines are so open to misinterpretation that they're ridiculous - but that's another soapbox moment Grin). But I'm pretty lax about other things such as diet and remembering my vitamins, which is just as bad in the end. And also I think it's much easier to be 'good' when you have finally seen the elusive BFP.

Wilhelminand · 15/04/2014 23:16

Sorry, I x-posted. Hi Gossip, welcome.

lala5 · 15/04/2014 23:21

Welcome gossip this sounds like the Fred for you!

lala5 · 15/04/2014 23:29

red that sounds like fun! Good luck for the clinic call - I hope you get the one you're waiting for soon.

wil I totally agree I think there's massive opportunity for misinterpretation. I reckon I'll be pretty strict with alcohol - a few years ago I stopped drinking for 6 months and only started again when we went on holiday.

Mr La sent me a rather cringeworthy but sweet message 3 times by accident yesterday saying he is looking forward to finding out 'how our sex parts got on'. Bless him, at least he's trying!

1 day til I can test with first response, but I'm going to wait til I'm due on Sunday!

dulcetmoan · 16/04/2014 08:19

Welcome gossip! There is probably a surprising amount of technical talk on here too considering its a JSing Fred but we do all just shag when we can. There's a new shagger if the month initiative for encouragement but this months record seems to be 12 so far.

I like the sound of your sorority red, sounds fun! Glad you had a good time to take your mind off the waiting!

I don't know much about the HSG thing lil so can't really advise but if it is invasive and might need to be repeated if wrong I am not sure I would. Can understand you would want to though!

Don't have the guilt lala, think of all those ladies with perfect babies conceived in far less than perfect conditions! Pissed off their faces with someone they met an hour ago! It happens! I understand why we make these lifestyle changes to give ourselves the best chance but it isn't as straight forward as 'stop having all the nice stuff and a baby will happen' so go easy on yourself!

not advocating letting yourself go to TTC, just putting all the work we go through into context! A little slip here and there is nothing and unlikely to harm any potential babies.

GossipWitch · 16/04/2014 09:11

Thanks for the welcome everyone, I have read part way through the thread, so apologise in advance if info is wrong, looking forward to hearing reds news thoughSmile

DTD last night after Mr gossip had a little wobble about loosing the romance of it all, I think he just doesn't want it to feel like were only having it to get pregnant, what he doesn't get is were only having it to satisfy my sex drive, and if I had my way it would be at least twice a day, however impossible with 3 kids running around! and he'd be pooped. Getting pregnant is the bonus of course, but after the emotional upheaval of getting pregnant with ds1 and spending 2 days in tears every time AF arrived, I don't want to fall into the same trap again, also it seems that the less I do try, or when it seems life isn't suited to having a baby at that moment, I get pregnant! with ds1 we moved into a little first floor flat, I fell pregnant during the move, and ds2 was one of those little accidents that just makes everyone who desperately wants one sick! which is why were at jsing.

RPopz · 16/04/2014 10:48

OH MY GOD.

DH is working 8am -8pm today. I am working 8pm- 8am today.

Cbfm = PEAK

Aaarrrggghh.... we JSed last night and the night before and the night before.... will that be enough???

Excellent reason number 27492963 for not using contraband right here! It could've bloody waited til tomorrow when we're both off Shock

RPopz · 16/04/2014 10:50

Hi Gossipwitch! Good luck! x

Wilhelminand · 16/04/2014 13:09

Oh Rpopz that is shit timing. But you have done lots of shagging so far. Is it just peak for 1 day or more like 3/4? You can't pay him a little visit at work Wink?!

Jeez Gossip, twice a day. I'm exhausted just thinking about that.

You're right Dulcet. Babies are born during wars, famine, disease outbreaks etc. Pregnancy is stressful enough as it is without beating yourself up for every little thing.

Lala I'm excited for you testing. You really deserve a BFP after all your covert shagging! Do you feel any different to normal?

RPopz · 16/04/2014 13:23

It is shit timing. I'm so annoyed I could cry. There's only two of them working at DHs place today as the third one phoned in sick... so no chance of a long lunch or early finish for him. I think you get two peak days but by the time you've got the first one its already too late because of how long the egg lives iyswim. So yeah. Gutted. Can only hope there's some guys up there from last night!

hanflan · 16/04/2014 13:52

RPopz If you dtd the last three nights then I'm sure there are PLENTY of swimmers, er, swimming around up there Wink all hope is not lost! Maybe just hang around upside down for the next 24 hours or so?! haha

GossipWitch · 16/04/2014 14:00

Rpopz spermies can live for about seven days right? so I'm guessing with all the humping you've been doing there is every possibility that you have some with a shelf life of at least three days swimming around in there, I also think you need to do handstands against the wall for the majority of the day.

I've had cramps yesterday and this morning, just this mean I'm ovulating?? also had aching boobs last night but it could have just been the act of taking the bra off. (mahoosive gg cup here)

RPopz · 16/04/2014 14:17

I know all's not lost yet. Just feeling kinda deflated. We've done EVERYTHING we could this month and now it seems a bit like we've fallen at the last hurdle!

hanflan · 16/04/2014 14:37

Can you sneak into his work for a quick afternoon/lunchtime session?! Wink

GossipWitch · 16/04/2014 14:43

Or couldn't you both have a family emergency at about 8pm?

RPopz · 16/04/2014 15:16

Nope, just gonna have to let this one go I think. Angry

hotcrossbabblehag · 16/04/2014 15:28

Sad you never know, one of the pre existing swimmers might get in the egg.

Fingers crossed for you anyway.

hotcrossbabblehag · 16/04/2014 15:29

name changed btw, was gossip

dulcetmoan · 16/04/2014 15:38

Oh popz, isn't annoying but you have plenty up there and you can go tomorrow and the next day. It's all still helpful!! You are defo not out!
