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!

Hello Virioids

I've been a bit AWOL for a while, but i'm still here cheering you all along. I'm taking a bit of a rest from the ttc - we're 'Not-NOT trying, but not obsessing' at the moment, due to new job and all that.

If I conceived this month it would be a miracle of supersperm, as I think I only managed it once the day before icing.

Anyway, keep up the positive thoughts ladies, and keep JSing.
xx

cookielove · 16/04/2014 17:08

Hello all, popping on to say I'm having a boy!

RPopz · 16/04/2014 17:37

Awesome news cookie!

Have you started new job now Mich? x

ZylaB · 16/04/2014 17:51

RPopz there should be plenty there ready and waiting! they last longer than our poor eggs. Fingers crossed.

lala5 · 16/04/2014 18:02

RPopz I think the spermies can survive for days so don't worry you're still in the game!

wil I have cramps and occasionally achy boobs but could be imagining it or could be witch approach! Trying to pretend everything is normal and not think about it! I'm scared we've failed...

lala5 · 16/04/2014 18:05

Fantastic news cookie!

cookielove · 16/04/2014 18:40

Thank you :)

The sperm lasted for four days in me Shock

RPopz · 16/04/2014 19:07

Haha, thanks cookie, what lovely conversations we do have Grin Hmm

DH picking me up from work in the morning so shag then sleep!!

Minion · 16/04/2014 19:28

Eeek cookie that's so exciting! Congratulations!
mich how's the job going kid?
popz I've a feeling the husbands swimmers were from either 24-36 hours before I iced, so you're still in to win it.

Not much from my end though I'm officially classed as 5 weeks today. It's a bit confusing, I'm in my 6th week but classed as 5 as I assume they round down.
Nothing new symptom wise, got my forts headache but that could be cause I've spent all day inside at a sales conference with no natural light. And my boobs are getting sore. I mean ouchy wow wa sore. It's the nips... Cripes, and they started to go brown. They're usually a lovely girly pale pink so this does make me resemble balony barb from pitch perfect. Ha!
Also getting those stretchy type pains, they don't feel like ERTD, but quite uncomfy and can make you stop in tracks!

I'm still cheering on my girls from the sidelines.

dulcetmoan · 16/04/2014 20:56

Fab news cookie, did you have a guess what you were having before the scan?

You better have a red bull before he comes to pick you up then rpopz! Keep you going!

Thanks for the symptom run down min. Learning so much - wasnt aware the nipple colour change was so drastic!

Don't be a stranger mich! Not-not trying us still JSing! Probably more the ethos of the fred really!!

Could mean you are ovulating gossip/hotcross. Get cape on in case!

I've had back ache and came over so tired this afternoon. I'm even laying in bed already. That could be symptom spotting but at CD12 it is probably a bit early to be anything exciting!

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 16/04/2014 20:59

Awww a little boy Cookie congratulations!

Min loving your symptom descriptions. Makes me smile.

No, not started the new job yet, aargh, my work is being a bit slow in recruiting someone for my post, so it's dragging. which is good as it gives me plenty of time to sort out all my mess before letting anyone else see it

I too have spent the day inside a meeting room, with a view of the sea in gorgeous sunshine, watching other people have fun playing on the beach while I sweat in an airless room.. Bummer.

And DP is stomping around in a huff having done something catastrophic to his new car after tinkering around with it. He's snapping at me while I try to make his dinner... grrrrrr. Was hoping for a romantic evening, and now he's going to be stressing about his bloody engine!

lil1ady · 16/04/2014 21:31

hi all.

min I love that by there is no such thing as tmi on this thread! how's the nausea?

rpopz first peak is on day of icing...but if u ov late in the day or early evening the egg could still be alive and well for your after work shag Grin ....remember it aint over til the red convertible parks! and agree with what others have said about sperm lasting 5-7 days.

hello hotcross sounds like you'll be at home here. feel free to hooya us if we start getting technical.

cookie that's lovely. have you got any ideas for names yet?

mich hope u recover your romantic evening!

I'm off to jump dh for my birthday shag! Grin

Wilhelminand · 16/04/2014 22:38

Happy birthday Lil!

And congratulations cookie! How lovely.

Nessalina · 16/04/2014 22:52

Evening all! Happy birthday lil, hope you've had a good 'un Smile
Rpopz - definitely don't worry. Three days of shagging pre-icing definitely gives you more boys in the game than one shag on icing day! They'll all be in there ready to pounce Grin
Min - I feel your pain, my boobs are a killer right now! Shock
Cookie - great news! So glad everything's going smoothly Smile

hotcrossbabblehag · 16/04/2014 22:53

lol, its gossipwitch under a slightly more eastery name, well sort of. I like the babblehag bit the best Grin

RPopz · 16/04/2014 23:02

Happy birthday Lil, you kept that one quiet! Hope you enjoy your, er, present! Grin

Mich you do realise that by the law of sod you will undoubtedly be upduffed very soon! Hope your DH has finished sulking now.... tell him to stop being a berk.

That was a full and frank update Min! Hope you're feeling less vommy at least. Really hope the baloney barb thing doesn't happen to me... DH loves my baby pinks Wink

RPopz · 16/04/2014 23:11

Oh and thank you everyone for all your voices of reason and reassurance today! I feel like a bit of a pickle. Grin still can't wait to get home and jump DH though

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 16/04/2014 23:12

Ok I need to know what or who Baloney Barb is!!

Happy birthday lil Thanks

lil1ady · 16/04/2014 23:17

thanks everyone Smile dh was reluctant as he'd eaten so much but birthday trumps full stomach!

ZingHasAHotCrossBunInTheOven · 16/04/2014 23:24

just a quick update in case anyone is interested - we had a 4D scan yesterday, which was lovely.
baby is average weight now, but predicted to be long (no shit Sherlock, DH is 6'5" and they all take after him!Grin )

officially in 3rd trimester now...and moving in 5 weeks.

love you all lots, keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for loads more BFPs.
go on my lovely girls! Smile

lil1ady · 16/04/2014 23:28

hey zing good to hear from you! bet 4d scan was an experience! how lovely. can't believe you are moving! you must be mad. no wait we already knew that Wink

lala5 · 16/04/2014 23:37

mich is new job going OK?

min it's hard to imagine boob ache being any different to before af, is it any different? I'm trying not to get excited :(

lala5 · 16/04/2014 23:38

Just realised you not started job mich ignore me!

lala5 · 16/04/2014 23:40

Happy birthday lil!

We did day before and day of icing, plus 2 days and 3 days before. Really hoping we've managed it this month, I'm getting a bit despondent.

lala5 · 16/04/2014 23:41

zing Hi! Good luck lady! Xx
