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!

No I was very restrained Dulce! OH even offered to get me one from the corner shop while he was getting some bits for tea and I was like "you mean where everyone knows us!? Errrr NO" Lol.

Hope you had a good night Zyla Grin I had a cheeky glass of red last night. I'm such a lightweight nowadays though heh.

Hope you've all got lovely weekends planned x

ohfourfoxache · 29/03/2014 08:34

Ach Duck, that's crap - sorry love

DH is away for my soon to be bil's stag this weekend and I'm twitchy. No matter what I've put my mind to it keeps wandering - so far I've unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, put another load of washing on and pinned the hem on the second lounge curtain (finished curtain number 1 at 02:45 - and the cats woke me up at 7). Now have a cuppa waiting for F1 qualifying to start.

But I have an urge to POAS. I'm on day 25. Can't stop thinking about it. Aargh this is not good - need to keep busy and focused on something not ttc related!

ohfourfoxache · 29/03/2014 08:35

RPopz well done! Grin

RPopz · 29/03/2014 08:57

I'm going shopping to take my mind off it Grin

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 29/03/2014 10:41

The Witch got me today as well Viroids. So Ayles I'm synchronizing with you!

I'm actually quite happy about it, because my temping had suggested that I may have ovulated 2 days ago, which would be way off, so I'm glad that probably wasn't true. Cycle still nice and normal.

And we only DTD once this month, due to tiredness and me stressing about job interview etc, so if I was upduffed it would be a bloody miracle.

And I also think that it might be sensible not to get upduffed just yet since I'm about to start a new job and all... although I'm not going to stop trying, can't put it on hold, but definitely putting a bit of faith in 'what's meant to be won't pass you by'

So it's cramps and crippling IBS for me today. Hot water and buckets of tea here I come!

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 29/03/2014 12:13

Sorry about the witch Mich.
Stay strong Fox and RPopz, and avoid Boots/Superdrug!

I'm going to have a rant. Am feeling really hormonal and keep bumping into people from baby groups who are pregnant again. Other half is spectacularly unsympathetic and making me feel like an ungrateful bitch because I should be thankful we have 1 child. Of course I realise how lucky we are to have her but is this supposed to mean I'm never allowed to get upset or want anything more? He does not get this whole situation at all.

Katgrant30 · 29/03/2014 14:14

Hey Whilemina I know what u mean... My NCT class are busy getting pg again, and there are bumps everywhere I go! Of course u are grateful for your child, but it is understandable to long for a sibling - I know I do.

This is prob verboten on this Fred, may have to change to a different one, but we actually had a FC appointment this morning. Just to discuss my history and potential options. Eg nutrition, acupuncture... Because of my low AmH score in the last though she's keen for me to get a follicle scan and so on, just for reassurance. Hoping JS will work before then!

DulcetMoans · 29/03/2014 16:46

Nothing's really banned here kat, and defo not FC, don't worry! A few of us have been and I have scans in May - not sure if they are the same ones though.

Hope you've all been outside!

JuniperJones · 29/03/2014 17:59

Sorry about the witch ayles and mich but good on you for PMA for next cycle.

Big hugs to wil, sorry your DH isn't being very sympathetic. It's still so recent since your loss and so sad when others have what you want so much. Sad

I checked Zita and the egg last for 8-12 hours...I prefer to think 12!

I must confess to have mostly wallowed in bed today although I have enjoyed the sounds of birds and children playing outside. I hope it stays nice like this for a while, it was so cold in the week!

RPopz · 29/03/2014 18:09

Oh Wil, that's not good. Its strange how wanting a baby is so completely different for men and women. I guess they can't understand how all consuming it is. Hope he is at least cutting you a bit of slack after your mc!!

Kat if you get kicked out then I will too... just buying a cbfm ready for next month.... Umming and ahhing between the old style one and the new advance one. Anyone any preference?

Day in bed sounds epic Juniper!

Been shopping in Manc this afternoon it was absolutely blooming boiling. Unbelievable!

RPopz · 29/03/2014 18:10

Oh and cramping like a bitch right now so guess its only a matter of time... Roll on Wednesday!

ohfourfoxache · 29/03/2014 20:11

(((Hugs))) Wil

Tbh I think in some ways it's worse when you have a dc already, because there is that pressure there not just to have a child but to provide a sibling. And I say that as someone who has no dc x

RPopz · 29/03/2014 20:32

I suppose once you've had one people assume it'll be dead easy to have another!

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 29/03/2014 22:07

Thanks guys. I was just having a hormonal half hour. I don't for a second think it's a worse situation and he's right that I do need to appreciate what I have already. I think I'm probably just reacting to the mc. I didn't feel upset about the situation before that happened, just wanted things to hurry up a bit. But now I feel a kind of desperation for it that I can't really explain. Plus I think my hormones are all messed up and making me over emotional. Also I have had a day of people asking me when I'm having another one which made me a bit stabby! Anyway, thanks for letting me moan!

What's a cbfm RPopz? Def not implantation cramps? (Or am I clutching at straws)?!

Has everyone got good weather again? I really need to move.

Day in bed sounds spectacular Juniper - make the most of them!

DulcetMoans · 30/03/2014 09:20

We are a quiet bunch this weekend - everyone out enjoying life?!

I have a run related injury which has led me to being pretty immobile. Luckily DH is a star and takes excellent care of me. Sometimes too much actually, stops me doing stuff. He will be so good if I am feeling grotty when pregnant... Sigh!

Oh, and it's Mother's Day so there is the potential this day will suck!

aylesburyduck · 30/03/2014 09:31

I just wanted to wish all my lovely viroids a happy mothers day.

Some of us might not be mothers yet, but we're trying to get there. In my heart I am already a mum I'm just waiting for our dc to arrive Grin

RPopz · 30/03/2014 10:29

Clearblue fertility monitor Wil (ultimate contraband). What can I say, I am an impatient woman! Not sure about implantation cramps haha, my boobs are epically sore still though and I'm sure (but not really sure) that I usually only get that for a day or two... Not daring to get my hopes up though!

Happy mothers day everyone... avoid the fb vom-fest at all costs ;-) x

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 30/03/2014 10:55

Hi everyone

Happy Mothers to be-one-day-in-the-future Day! Trying not to think about that too much. I'm having a bit of a hard time with my own parents at the moment, so it's a bit bitter sweet to be honest. Taking my Mum out for lunch later though, so I'll try to be nice and not get into an argument...

I'm in full ERTD hell here, cramps and pooing blood clots. TMI Sorry! but I'm just so pissed off with it. I'm convinced it's endo - how can it not be, I poo blood every month during my period and at no other time - but Im STILL waiting for a consultant's appointment to confirm it. Every month it gets worse and worse, I can see it progressing. Worries the hell out of me to be honest. I keep saying to DP the sooner I get PG the sooner I can never have another period ever again in my life and put me out of this misery (unless I want a second child).

Sorry you've been feeling shit Wil - I can imagine the pressure is hard when you already have one because you see that age gap between your DC and their future siblings getting longer, and that can be stressful. You may have planned for them to be close in age, and it's hard to have to re-assess that. I saw this with my sister's DCs - she wanted them to be close in age, but DC2 took a little longer than planned, and I think that got a bit stressful for her while she was trying. She suffered a MC too. But when DC2 came along, he's just so hilariously wonderful that we couldn't imagine it any other way! Whatever the age gap you end up with will be just the right one for them.

Un-Mother's Day Flowers for everyone

ZylaB · 30/03/2014 10:55

Free bar at work was good! Also just finishing making triple chocolate mousse for our mums for meal later.

It's my last bit of bad stuff before I get my cape on this month so doing it in style hehe. Have a lovely day all

ZylaB · 30/03/2014 10:56

*at work do, Not at work obv, though it might make it fun hehe

MichonnesSamuraiSword · 30/03/2014 10:56

x post with Zyla - free bar, sounds fabulous!!! as does choc mousse! Enjoy!

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 30/03/2014 15:17

Free bar sounds amazing.

You're so right Mich. It's because we make up these ridiculous plans for a 'perfect' life and then get upset when we're thrown a curve ball. I know really that age gap isn't as important as I have got into my head.
My friend has awful endo and was totally ignored for ages. No chance of going private for a diagnosis?

God RPopz I actually think this is the cheesiest fb day of the year. It is beyond awful. I've had to stop reading as I was too tempted to start posting really sarcastic responses. I'm not a nice person.

JuniperJones · 30/03/2014 18:05

Evening all! Is FB usually this ridiculous on M-Day?! Sticking to the "shocking things you've ever seen" thread which is much more chucklesome! I agree wil, I am stepping about from FB for a while!

Really sorry about your endo Mich, I really don't get why they mess people about for so long with this stuff. One of my friends has been suffering for years and FINALLY has an appointment to get all the yuck lasered out in April. It affects her life so much. They seem so keen to tell you it's IBS for years and years instead of just getting on with cameras up your whatsit or whatever. It makes me quite cross.

I sat out in the garden for the first time today which was lovely (and I left the house for a while too!). Hope you've all had good days xx

lala5 · 30/03/2014 22:04

Sorry about the witch mich and duck and mich so sorry to hear about your endo.

RPopz and fox well done resisting so far!

Mother's day really is quite ridiculous - why just one day to remember how much your mum does for you? Daft.

Sorry to all of you feeling a bit crappy today.

I've had busy day - did some voluntary work this morning, rode horse on hack at lunch, worked this afternoon then packed for our trip. We're off tomorrow.

Have been very naughty and packed clear blue contraband. Determined for a scottish conception! Help! I'm slipping into madness

RPopz · 30/03/2014 22:18

If you are then I am too lala. Its my evil plan for next month!

Had a pretty busy day too. Work tomorrow :-( Also crotch watch will begin!!

Fb actually not been too yukky today surprisingly...

Night all x
