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!

When are you due AF before? Smile

laurenamium · 15/08/2014 07:42

Oh la I just saw your Message about DH! Mine is also a man child! In fact I'm just about to go wake him up with party poppers because he's got to get the train Grin

ChatEnOeuf · 15/08/2014 07:54

Party poppers! Brilliant idea, am saving that one...

Leela5 · 15/08/2014 07:54

He's in spare room (I refuse to sleep next to something that will get me drunk through breathing) and will kill him later Grin

BeforeIChangeMyMind · 15/08/2014 08:32

Welcome honey

Good grief la he better be on his best behaviour this weekend

Purple I hope your diagnosis means that you can get whatever treatment you need to feel better. Hope it goes well today.

I actually had to get out a pen and paper to work out when AF/BFP is due - I always say that I'll keep track but don't. Am going to test a week tomorrow (CD31) if AF hasn't shown up in the meantime. 31-day cycles are about right and I had reason to suspect icing (coughs) around CD 16/17/18.

As you are all my witnesses I shall not POAS until 23rd August :)

RPopz · 15/08/2014 08:43

Omg La does he have a death wish for the weekend or something?!?

Party poppers - brilliant!! Definitely need to remember that one Grin

lildottie · 15/08/2014 12:00

I'm so glad dh doesn't drink! no need for party poppers here, but excellent choice!

before I'm sure you will cave and test early but we will try to keep.you on the straight and narrow!

just chased hospital and sounds like we can expect next appointment around late sept/early Oct so at least I have a timeframe now albeit not an actual appointment. hoping that means we'll be starting after we come back from holiday in late October Grin

laurenamium · 15/08/2014 12:40

Just POAS and I can confirm I have done a kitten! It just needs to stick now! Am I right in thinking I need to wait until next month some time to get booked in and stuff?

I recommend 3/4 party poppers at once for maximum waking opportunity. Aimed at their head so the paper bits land on them Grin

wilmabedrock · 15/08/2014 12:47

lauren you can phone to make booking appointment whenever you want although I would wait until you're officially 'late' if you're not already. When you get your appointment will depend on your local area. Congratulations again Grin .

Leela5 · 15/08/2014 14:52

Congrats Lauren!

Will all these kittens please stop it! :P

lil that's great that you've got a date to aim towards now. Must be a relief?

Mr La is still alive and got an ear bashing about his boozing. He was quite funny he agreed drinking is bad for the sperms and told me he has even bought some sperm boosting tablets to help us! Bless.

jellypi3 · 15/08/2014 15:14

Congrats Lauren !! That's amazing! :) I admit a small part of me hopes when we do start TTC I'll do a kitten but I doubt it seeing as I've still not had a visit from AF :(

Ladyboluna · 15/08/2014 15:55

I'm not so much a kitten now as the strings on a violin...

I've got 1 week left of my 2ww. Hoping that 13 is a lucky number for me this month as that's how many cycles I've gone through now. Disappointment last month was crushing Sad

Leela5 · 15/08/2014 16:14

Fx lady we are all rooting for you!

jelly I might be wrong but did lauren not get bfp without af? So it's not the be all and end all!

Leela5 · 15/08/2014 16:42

lauren have you told your other half? Is he excited?

ChatEnOeuf · 15/08/2014 16:44

Congrats kitten Lauren! Depends on your local area as to booking, our MW need a note from your GP and they like you to be at least six weeks at that point.

Fingers crossed Lady

laurenamium · 15/08/2014 16:58

Jelly I had my mirena out the week after my last AF. I did have a big heavy full day bleed the day after but have had none since. AF is due Monday. I think mirena is different to a pill though?

I told DP this morning, he congratulated himself on his efficient sperm then reminded me I won't be able to drink at any of the events we have planned Hmm Grin He is currently in the pub with his mates celebrating his birthday. He knows death will become him if he even mentions it to anyone Grin

KatoPotato · 15/08/2014 17:05

Congrat Lauren, but you've just squished my reasonsing that my mirena removal has halted my progress...

needs new excuse

laurenamium · 15/08/2014 17:06

Ah Kato but I only had my mirena in for 6 months Blush I did apologise to the doctor for wasting their time upon removal! My Circumstances have changed considerably since then though!! So your theory may well be true!

KatoPotato · 15/08/2014 17:22

Lauren, I luffs you!

Purplecircle · 15/08/2014 18:29

I was on citalopram for anxiety for quite a while. Never suffered with depression although since the m/c I have felt lower than ever

Been to GP today, he was lovely. We had a good chat. He prescribed me higher dose folic acid and said it's all about stabilising me so I can have a healthy pregnancy.
He referred me to the local hospital and then rang me back later saying they want me on metformin straight away and that I'm to use contraception until they've seen me
So I've been and picked up 2 lots of pills and it looks like this will be my life now.

ZylaB · 15/08/2014 18:50

It won't take long purple

You're clearly intelligent and will listen to their advice, rather than ignoring it like a lot of diabetics do, it doesn't take long at all to get sugars down to a level they'll be happy with. Trust me!

You'll be fine and back on the horse (ooer) really soon x

ZylaB · 15/08/2014 18:52

And welcome to the super strength folic acid club, shall we make badges?

Purplecircle · 15/08/2014 19:08

Thanks Zyla, are you diabetic too?

honeysucklejasmine · 15/08/2014 19:27

Congratulations Lauren! That's great!

I'm already impatient for my next potential AF, and I'm still 17 days sway from her due date. Hope to not see her at all, and get a BFP! How do people pass the time? I think I might go mad.
