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 link to Part 25 is here

The current Grads Fred is here

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

Happy shagging, shaggers!

Yes jelly I've just posted a bad picture!

Purplecircle · 07/09/2014 19:05

Oh Honey I'm so sorry, same thing happened to me 6 weeks ago. Probable cause undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.
Now have to get blood sugar under control before TTC again so we're currently on holiday and using condoms Hmm
Part of me wants to say sod it but I can't face another mc and if I didn't lose it, there could be abnormalities which I definitely don't want

jellypi3 · 07/09/2014 19:14

Ah ok thanks patiently just wanted to check I knew what to look for. I'm going to take an IC test next week when I'm 14 dpo :)

honeysucklejasmine · 07/09/2014 19:31

Thanks ladies for your kind words. It turns out one of my friends had her mc in similar circumstances. So its been good to talk with her.

I am going to make a GP appointment but we are going to try again. My lupus consultant has told me multiple times that i can get preg on my drugs... He's never said "but you'll need to take xyz" so I'm hoping it was just a mc which can happen to anyone. Of course now its hard to tell when I'm going to ice so will need to monitor ewcm carefully and shag lots!

patientlywaitingformymiracle · 07/09/2014 20:38

warning taking the watching cm and shagging lots approach can result in 3weeks of continue sex...

honeysucklejasmine · 07/09/2014 20:40

Is that bad?

lildottie · 07/09/2014 22:57

I'd say its bad, but them I'm on month 22 soooo....

so sorry honey, but fx its just a blip and you'll be upduffed with a sticky bean soon.

kato don't think ice congratulated you yet so congrats!!

forgot who had the feint line, jelli? fx it gets darker fast!

into wk2 of the twot here and have just got back from a few days in Ypres and then up north UK seeing family. dhs GPS for the first time mentioned that they'd like some ggcs soon. I couldn't even look at them. dh deflected quite well. I think it stings more coming from then because I'd love to think they will be able to see a few years of their ggc growing up but as its taking so long and they are mid 80s it seems less and less likely Sad

diet re starts tomorrow. if I carry on the way I an I'll be an unhealthy BMi by the time we start icsi!

Leela5 · 08/09/2014 03:34

lil that must've stung a bit - good on your dh for deflecting. I'm crossing everything for your icsi.

Viroids I'm off today on holiday for a few days, hoping I'll have wifi in hotel so I can keep in touch.

I've got a really cheeky request - we are up to the home stretch of this Fred and I've never created the new Fred before. Could I do the new one please? Smile

lildottie · 08/09/2014 07:43

I have no objections la. and it has almost become customary for a newly upduffed viroid to start the new Fred Grin

Looking forward to the new Fred title! And passing on some of the luck of this Fred.

Sadly it wasn't me with the faint line, if only. I did an IC test today because I have an MRI this afternoon, it was negative (as expected) but it's only been 9 days since I DTD when I though I was icing, so not surprised it was negative. Also, someone sent me some OPK's, 20 of them :o so I did one this morning and that too came back negative (or low fertility as it puts it) but again, not surprised because I think I iced last week.

I guess I'll find out this weekend after the TWOT!

patientlywaitingformymiracle · 08/09/2014 08:30

it was me with the faint line and sadly after 'mission frer' which involved dh driving quite a long way.....BFN BFN BFN Sad feeling pretty blue today

jellypi3 · 08/09/2014 08:54

:( Hugs Patiently how many DPO are you and when is AF due?

honeysucklejasmine · 08/09/2014 09:24

I've got 9 days until fertile again. Quite looking forward to it. At the moment I am really tired and just fancy sleeping. No excuse really!

Lots of friends are inviting me over to discuss the whole mc. Lots of kid glove treatment. Not sure I'm after that. I was really upset, but is it wrong that I'm over it? (Mostly)

wilmabedrock · 08/09/2014 09:49

I think one of two things Honey. There's a point in pg where you start thinking that you're having an actual baby as opposed to just being pg - if that makes sense. If you haven't reached that point in your head then I think that a mc is possibly 'easier' to deal with. (For me anyway).
Or secondly, once all the worst of the pain and biological stuff is over with, you feel relieved and just want to get back on with trying again. Sometimes though it hits you in a few weeks time or later down the track. I don't think there is a certain way you should be feeling though. Everyone deals with things differently and I would think it an advantage to be able to pick yourself up and carry on.

jellypi3 · 08/09/2014 10:38

Yeah I don't think it's wrong to feel that way Honey. I'm a very emotional person and get attached to things far too easily, but my DP is the opposite. He is very level headed, and he doesn't get attached until it's "real" as he puts it. I think if we were to fall pg, he would obviously be excited, but not attached to it as much as say I would be until maybe the 20 week scan, when you know the sex etc. I understand it's different for women because we actually have the feelings inside, but I think if you are a level headed person then it's perfectly normal to feel that way. You weren't really given time to get attached unfortunately :(

honeysucklejasmine · 08/09/2014 10:50

No absolutely. I was aware i was pregnant for five days. I was very excited and looking forward to the future but i didn't have morning sickness, i'd not bought little outfits and the like. I'm a scientist so i guess the logical brain is my advantage. Dh was more pessimistic than me so didn't get his hopes up. I think next time i'll probably do more tests but not get excited until i've missed two periods!

honeysucklejasmine · 08/09/2014 10:50

(easier said than done!)

Leela5 · 08/09/2014 13:33

honey I think there's nothing wrong or odd about the way you're feeling. Everyone is so different there'll never be a right or wrong reaction, Everyone copes differently. I'm a scientist too (biologist) and I'm quite factual about everything most of the time, apart from meltdown last Sunday I was so frustrated when doc said nothing was wrong with us because it made no sense scientifically that nothing was happening.

patiently it's still very early lovely I got negative 11dpo then faint line 12dpo. Fx

Have arrived in Barcelona and we are chilling on the terrace in the sun. Going to go through Fred and get inspiration for new title!

KatoPotato · 08/09/2014 13:37

Welcome christie

Message from DH this afternoon.....

"The duchess is pregnant....F**k off!"

Says it all really!!

ChatEnOeuf · 08/09/2014 15:59

Welcome christie don't teeter, join in! How old is your DD?

Honey I know what you mean - my first mc I hadn't tested and didn't have much in the way of symptoms and it passed me by quite quickly. This (last) time around, I'd had a scan and seen the little beans, so it hit me harder. I agree though, the logical scientist kind of takes over.

La you should totally do the new Fred. Remember to put the TWPU in there Grin

I feel a bit sorry for Kate - shoot me :)

lildottie · 08/09/2014 16:34

bang - that was lil shooting chat
