Break the bed, marvel at the ghost sperm, ignore the fuss about avatar pandas and whatever you do - don't eat the jizz! It's Just Shagging Part 28

[Leela5]

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!

TWPU - Two Week Piss Up!

Happy shagging, shaggers!

Everything appears to be secretly converting itself into a sign of upduffedness! And why oh why are all 'pregnancy signs' all also signs of AF ?? not that I have googled every unusual feeling today I don't know what my usual AF signs feel like!! I've not had AF in 10 years! Argghhh so want to poas NOW!

Have distracted myself with baking. Dh is very happy with his bake off inspired savoury parcels (I haven't made puff pastry in ages, this shows how much I need to waste time! Saturday nights are usually bath, Liza tarbuck and gin nights!) I'm so rock and roll

Ladies...I iced and DTD yesterday, and today (just now) I found some tiny flecks of blood when I wiped. What could this be? Didn't happen last time.

Had friends over for three course dinner tonight. I am Delia Smith personified.

Wiggly I'm so sorry. I really wish I could make a cake for you! I agree with the others, it happens much more often than we hear about as people don't always know and don't tell many people when they do know, so don't stress too much about it being 2 in a row.

Mountain a little hooyah flying your way, but I'm just the same really. Been feeling waves of nausea and thinking morning sickness but really I know it's just a bug, stomach's been dodgy for a few days in general and DH is the same. Counting down the days till POAS, have decided on Thursday (4 sleeps)...

Honey, maybe just rather vigorous cape action?

Maybe Calli. Thank you!

Just in case... There's no way it could be ib is there? I don't know for definite I iced yesyterdasy, no opks, but based on my cycle that's the date.

Calli is probably right though.

This might help

If you think you could have iced earlier then it could be IB, but as it takes a wee while to see the blood usually it's unlikely to happen so soon.

Morning viroids!
honey could just be slight tear. If ib perhaps you iced earlier?

Thank you ladies. You guys are great! Don't think i'd manage to get upduffed without the knowledge i gain here.

Perhaps you were a little ahem vigorous honey? Unless you did ice earlier but thinking that may be the route to madness...

My temperature rose higher today 10dpo aghhhh racing today to get out the house and away from the pee sticks!

Ooh mountain resist for 1-2 more days then POAS!

I'll chalk it up to dh's giant penis i think. Thanks girls!

Ha Ha mountain, I'm only 1 dpo and symptom spotting! But i know I'm cray-cray. Cape action today i think!

Right, I am back. Snapped back to reality following a second MC two weeks ago. Had a little hibernation but lil has found me and dragged me back! After two years of nothing, it's a bit weird to now get preggers twice so quickly. But nothing to show for it so what's the point?! The cape came back out last week though and we even had sex just for fun yesterday!

What's going on in here then?! Encouraging POAS, symptom spotting that could be AF, implantation bleeding conundrums... Yep, all seems in order! Keep on keeping on viroids!

I've put on half a stone and need a miracle cure - anyone?! Comfort eating custard creams isn't working...

Ahhhh here she is the lovely dulcet tones of reason

So sorry to hear about your mc lovely, sending you a massive hug xxx

Yes - this Fred has dipped into dangerous territories of symptom spotting, crotch watching peeing on any stick that moves. So nothing out of the ordinary!

Ok so - honey a little hooyah for you and mountain it wouldn't be fair if you didn't get one too

Get shagging viroids!

And I think you mean 'awesome penis' honey

honey ov bleeding is a thing too.

dulcet glad to see you back

hooyas to all who need them. i seem to be the opposite end of cycle to everyone. cd9 so cape nees to come out. this could be our last cycle on our own before the ivf starts!

Welcome back Dulcet, I prescribe lots of jsing for unwanted half stone!

Get shaggin lil!

Boring day at work ahead, love my job (bookseller) but Sundays are terrible - slow, and all the crappy jobs people couldn't be ersed with throughout the week...

Welcome back dulcet hugs

God I want custard creams now!

Morning viroids :) went to a wedding last night and saw my extremely pregnant friend and her family. All asking when I'm getting married and having kids. The joy of it!

What are people's thoughts on TTC when thinking about a career move?

jelli I was against changing jobs whilst ttc, then lost my job unfairly last year and ended up going self employed....and I'm still barren so....I think you can't put your life on hold for it. you may want to stop ttc over the change so you get mat leave but SMP would be replaced by mat allowance so is a non issue. I'd look into it and then make an informed decision. personally I'm glad life threw me a wild card. I'm in a much better position and much happier now and don't have to worry about getting time off for ivf appts!

honey I had ov bleeding this cycle too! Just a couple of spots in ewcm but there nonetheless!

Hi dulcet fx things start to look up for you.

8dpo ish here, sore knockers and the shits! Glamorous world of ttc eh? Am itching to poas but don't feel pg at all, will keep to my plan of starting with ic's next weekend if af hasn't graced me with her presence! Also learned diarrhoea is a early pregnancy thing too via some very tenuous google links, never been so pleased to be running to the loo. you can see I'm clutching at straws

jelly I'd totally agree with lil, make as informed decision as you can but bear in mind that there is never a good time for anything if you over think it. Sometimes it's great to roll with what life throws at you!

Glad to see you back Dulcet Wondered if you'd taken a ttc-ing break xxx

Thanks all!

It's a tough one jelly, but the longer you try the more your opinion changes. At this stage I would say do what is right for you and don't let one thing stop you doing the other - you don't know how long either will take! Just work out the worst case scenario financially and make sure you could cope.

My toilet trips increase with AF as well tinker, so that's no help! Hopefully a good sign for you though!

Didn't take a break popz, as much as I wonder if we should. Not necessarily for the emotional side but the physical - should I let the body recover? But then the research doesn't indicate that's needed. Ill wonder 'what if' either way!

So sorry Wiggly and Dulcet though lovely to see you again. I've had two mcs on the spin too, they don't tend to investigate in the UK until three but it may be different overseas.

Honey most probably an awesome penis, but if it keeps happening it's worth a checkup.

J'habite en Bruxelles, aujourd hui est un jours sans voiture dans le cite... I think

Good advice mountain & callipy.

Dulcet I've just had 2 mc on the bounce so feel you and chat's pain. Big hugs all round.

GP says she wants to see me on Fri to start investigations.

FX for all the exciting symptoms floating round.
