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!

Oh ffs they didn't make anything clear, did they Sad Angry

As an hsg is an x ray there is a risk to a foetus from radiation from the x ray equipment. It has very little to do with the dye or how "comfy" a baby could be in it Angry

The risk is small, but IMHO it isn't worth taking the risk

RPopz · 01/04/2014 21:08

Ah I suppose it isn't worth the risk then.

Fx for you too Red x

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2014 21:09

Oh, and as far as infection is concerned, if you take the antibiotics then the risk is negligible.

I'm really quite worried that they chose to talk about a fucking infection risk rather than a radiation risk.

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2014 21:10

Sorry Red, just seen your post, that's brilliant! Fx x

lil1ady · 01/04/2014 21:16

No fox they didnt' TALK about either. I was shoved 2 A4 pieces of paper to read!

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2014 21:41

Head => keyboard

Erm, yeah, that sounds pretty piss poor Hmm

RPopz · 01/04/2014 21:54

Sorry to but in - just out of interest Fox have you been through this already? Or do you work in the field?

Sorry you had such an unsatisfying experience Lil. X

lil1ady · 01/04/2014 21:57

Oh yes viroids, we dont' need Dr Goofle, fox is our resident expert!

RPopz · 01/04/2014 21:59

I did not know that!

lil1ady · 01/04/2014 22:01

Having just visited my local clinics website, I'd like to add another moan to the list about them. Why is their website and the walls in there COVERED in pictures of babies!!!

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2014 22:11
Blush

Resident yes, expert no! Blush

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2014 22:13

Sorry RPopz, worked in the field for many, many years Blush

RPopz · 01/04/2014 22:22

Aah I see! That's good to know ;-)

Redshoes56 · 02/04/2014 12:32

lil the aim is definitely to do a transfer this month if the embryos cooperate! Mine tend to grow slowly though so I will not be surprised if we end up freezing again.

You know, I hadn't noticed until you said it how blessedly baby free my clinic is. No pictures of babies anywhere. It is probably a very good thing.

The hsg risk to a fetus is definitely from the radiation, as fox said. I did mine back in the fall. (The hsg sucked but you will be fine!)

I am in the waiting room right now and will soon be out in my amazing hospital garb to await the retrieval. Nervous!

JuniperJones · 02/04/2014 12:37

Good luck red, all things crossed for a good collection.

lil1ady · 02/04/2014 12:49

good luck red Grin

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 02/04/2014 13:09

Hope it went well Red.

Minion · 02/04/2014 15:08

Thinking of you red, hope it goes smoothly xx

RPopz · 02/04/2014 18:48

Evening viroids, how are we all today?

Red, really hope the extraction went well and you're not too uncomfortable right now!

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 02/04/2014 19:20

well I'm fine but I have probably eaten double my weight today. No self-control.
I have been delving into the murky world of CM. I can't believe I have been alive this long and don't know how it all works. Anyway I think maybe I am heading into TWOT so maybe AF will be due around the middle of the month. Just in case you all wanted to know that....

aylesburyduck · 02/04/2014 19:27

wil Grin

I haven't ventured fanjowards but I will be exploring now that AF has gone. The things we do eh?

RPopz · 02/04/2014 19:35

I'm also eating for Britain but am blaming AF!

Bleeeeurgh did you find any?? Haha! I don't think I'll ever be able to get on board with that kind of fanjo exploration...

My clearblue contraband arrived today but I was at work so its gone to the sorting office.... grrrr Angry need to start using it by tomorrow or it'll be too late for this cycle.

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 02/04/2014 19:35

It's gross Ayles. I didn't have to 'ferret around' thankfully. But I did look up photographic descriptions [boak smiley]

RPopz · 02/04/2014 19:37

X post sorry!

Wil I once googled cm... NEVER made that mistake again!

Wilhelminanevillesdottir · 02/04/2014 19:47

Sorry RPops x posted. Far TMI coming up but I have had loads so no exploration necessary. I'm going by the made up by me theory this means I have been extra fertile this month Grin (I would need to be as we've only done it 3 times). Honestly I am such a private person in RL. This kind of oversharing scares me!!

So is your contraband basically like a pee stick which tells you when you're fertile?
