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 and adapted 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!

JIAC = Jizz in a Cup. Preferable to jizz on the carpet. This one's for the lucky men in our lives.

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!

The current Grads Fred is here

The rather nobbish article in which we became a little bit notorious is here

Happy shagging, shaggers!

Thanks so much viroids for your replies! I just wondered. I had one tiny barely there spot of pink on Friday (7dpo). But nothing else. Felt like af might be coming yesterday with a mildly achy back and cramps.

Today I'm all cramps and soreness everywhere but it's got more to do with the uncomfortable bed I'm not sleeping in than anything else.

I'm going to wait until wed before testing, to see if b6 has done the trick and lengthened my lp past 10 days

jellypi3 · 31/08/2014 09:37

Oo fx La :) so exciting! And fx to all of you testing tomorrow!

honeysucklejasmine · 31/08/2014 10:16

Keep thinking... This time tomorrow i might be pregnant... Or at least know I am. Not at work tomorrow so going to ask a friend if i can hide at hers... Either way, don't want to be on my own.

Getting cramps, but they feel not as gut wrenching nerve stabbingly painful as usual quite mild. Just a gentle twitch. Weird.

My friend said to me yesterday "gutted if you're not. Period and agony. What a kick in the teeth." Yeah. Tell me about it.

KatoPotato · 31/08/2014 11:04

La, I'm testing Weds!!! Wahhhhhhh

Also started taking my b6, like a b6, like a like a b6!

Honey I'm so excited for you! What's the stick of choice? Christ this mobile site has a ridiculous delay between button pressing and appearing on the screen!!!!

RPopz · 31/08/2014 13:18

No IB here La - but I don't know if I missed it by testing early! I had some brown gunkyness a couple of days after bfp which freaked me out but Dr Google said was leftovers from IB!
Fingers crossed for all the testers Smile

Good to see you back Red! Grin

Haha murder mystery sounds awesome Dulce - there's one at the hotel that we got married at in a few weeks time. I suggested it to DH and he was less than impressed haha!

Was at a hen do last night.... sooo much food! Shock Gotta make up for no wine Smile

honeysucklejasmine · 31/08/2014 13:29

I got a FRER. Really being tempted to do it now but its a slippery slope. I'd be waiting to test every day if i do it sooner.

Still getting mild cramps. Doesn't look good. If i tell myself its neg then at least i won't be disappointed. as if

gaggiagirl · 31/08/2014 14:42

We have just had a giant dirty MacDonald's lunch I'm so full I've had to put joggers on. Unfortunately we are expected at mil's at 5 for dinner and crumble. What was I thinking!
I'll hae to squeeze myself into my asda school uniform office wear tomorrow.

RPopz · 31/08/2014 14:43

Mmmm... crumble!!

Redshoes56 · 31/08/2014 15:09

dulcet we have a boy name (I'm convinced it's a boy, as I've dreamt it, but we'll know for sure in a few weeks!) -- but if it is a girl, we have no clue! We are bad decision makers and will probably be coming up with names en route to the hospital.

wilma I was so behind in blogging! I finally posted on Friday after weeks of being a delinquent. So happy you are peeking in on it :)

McD and crumble both sound so good. I'm off to the market to get food for two barbecues, and also ingredients to make cake, which I'm craving like mad. Making lemon pound cake for today and smores cupcakes for tomorrow. Mmmm.... Cake

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 16:13

I think af has just started Hmm

It's pink not brown and looks like af.

It's 9dpo which is even earlier than last month. I can't believe it - timing was right on, but it's obviously just not meant to be.

What's wrong with me? Why can't I just be normal and be able to get pregnant. These teenage kids manage it, half wits manage it. It's so unfair.

Sorry. Bit upset. Going to go and cry now

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 16:17

I really thought icing earlier was a sign I was going to be ok. I'm devastated. I feel like giving up

laurenamium · 31/08/2014 16:21

Oh la Sad is it definitely AF? my IB was pink and a little bit more than what I would have called spotting, quite a bit on a tissue when I wiped a few times over a few days

honeysucklejasmine · 31/08/2014 16:31

Sorry La Sad. I'm holding out hope that its just spotting or the like.

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 16:38

I've just called my mum and cried. Usual response of 'think positive, it'll happen'. But I am starting to think it never will. Hmm

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 16:40

lauren how many days after ovulating was it?

jellypi3 · 31/08/2014 16:53

Oh no la, still keeping fingers crossed for Wednesday :(

ChatEnOeuf · 31/08/2014 16:59

Oh La. My mc in March had an implantation bleed that I completely mistook for AF. Hope the cat's getting better - altogether not a fab weekend Sad

Gaggia Just the one McDs I presume, your double posts still make me chuckle. I do love a crumble!

Lovely to hear how you're doing Red and Cookie, keep popping in!

Honey I'm the same, and I don't like being wrong so I like to know the result before I start...not good Hmm

That's a much lovelier way of putting it, Dulcet I really think infertility is such a harsh word.

Bertie do it, it has no adverse effects that I know of.

Exciting Jelli!

We've been at Ikea all bloody weekend or at least that's what it felt like. Most of the furniture is now built so we have a dining table, wardrobes and all sorts! Now to plan a housewarming. My mother has invited me to the Caribbean in May...tempted to accept and invoke the law of sod.

RPopz · 31/08/2014 17:25

Massive hugs La xxxx Thanks Brew

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 18:10

Ok I've given myself a shake.

honey fx for tomorrow!

red you must be so excited and it's all seeming so much more real Grin

gaggia your double posts are highly entertaining - love a dirty Macca D's every now and then!

kato fx it works for you! I've somehow reduced my cycle from 36 days to 26. Something isn't right. Praying it's ib Hmm

dulcet what was your murder weapon? I'd love to do one of those!

chat omg that's the best excuse to invoke LOS ever! Do it!

Thanks for the hugs girls, I needed those. Don't often get down but think cat also had an effect. He's being kept in still coz he's very ill

honeysucklejasmine · 31/08/2014 19:09

Thanks ladies. Will do early tomorrow as need to get it done before DH goes to work.

chat do it! If LOS is not envoked, you get an awesome holiday!

Glad you're feeling a bit better La. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Redshoes56 · 31/08/2014 19:13

la huge hug. I feel like we are twins. I am generally a very positive person, and remained so even through fertility treatments -- until one of our kitties had a stroke in the spring, right before our third round of IVF. That was when I hit rock bottom (alas, we had to put him to sleep, but don't even put that thought in your head!). Still, I somehow managed to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I hope your buddy recovers quickly and is home with you soon. Pets are such a comfort.

P.S. I had short cycles, too, with the witch arriving too soon after icing, every month. Never did get a straight answer on it, but low progesterone seems likely. Demand testing for it!

Purplecircle · 31/08/2014 20:36

Just checking in and hope everyone is ok

I haven't read the whole thread but I will. I think I've turned a corner. I haven't sobbed all week, and managed a hen weekend with 2 preg girls

I've got an appointment at the end of fecking October for pre-conception care at the ante natal clinic.
I'm not allowed to get pregnant til after then. if only it were that simple
Hopefully back to JSing soon in the meantime we've got to use contraception!

Leela5 · 31/08/2014 20:42

Thanks red Grin you give me hope.

purple I'm glad to hear you've been feeling a bit better this week. It's nice to hear from you, we're always here whenever you need support x

RPopz · 31/08/2014 20:46

Hugs to you Purple that must've been a difficult one. October's not that far away, honest! xxx
