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!

Morning viroids!

callipy hooraaaaaay! Congratulations!!!!

rm don't despair - it will happen. Do you temp at all? technically contraband but useful I was despairing but it helped me discover 2 issues - late icing and short luteal phase. The month after I took measures to fix those I got bfp.
I did talk to people about ttc and got great support from some but bear in mind it's more difficult to keep being upduffed a secret once you've said you're ttc as they notice signs. A few people have guessed.

before how did you get on with full moon unicorn? Any luck?

jelly if you google cm cycle there's a handy page that tells you what to expect at what point - want the link?

honey I would wait another 9 days til 12dpo at least - fx!

before - how many dpo are you? Can you do another? A line is a line is a line and if after the required 2 mins that sounds promising! Mine was very faint on 12dpo but got a nice strong one 2 days later.

tink that's very early, don't despair. I got bfn 11dpo then bfp 12dpo. Fx

Thanks La, i've researched CM (bit of a weird thing to google in work!) and it says watery CM is during your fertile phase, but OPK disagreed. However, I know my hormones are doing somersaults at the moment so I'm not too stressed, just gonna follow the docs advice (and this freds advice) and just shag! :D

Leela5 · 23/09/2014 08:39

Watery is fertile in lead up to icing as it's the stage before ewcm so start shagging when you get watery cm and when you get to ewcm shag even more! Grin

OP posts:
honeysucklejasmine · 23/09/2014 08:41

Hi La! Was just wondering where you were! Smile Thanks for advice. Will try to wait!

Noniks3 · 23/09/2014 08:49

callipy that's one hell of a tasty line! Grin Congrats!

before still sounds good, although you must be in agony waiting.

Pant watch has begun for snot...how delightful

Leela5 · 23/09/2014 08:54

Been bit busy recently so was lurking Grin too busy it seems as I had a bit of spotting and was told by dr to slow down a bit. Day off today and first midwife appointment.

mountaingirl01 · 23/09/2014 09:14

Me too tink :( only used the ic in the end as didn't want to 'waste' a frer till there was at least s shadowline on an ic.. Think I must be out, surely there would be a hint of a line by now?!

Leela5 · 23/09/2014 09:19

mountain I didn't get line on ic til 13dpo - you're not out til red witch zooms in!

OP posts:
mountaingirl01 · 23/09/2014 09:26

Thank la :) good luck with the mW today!

BothersomeB · 23/09/2014 09:36

Wow- it's all happening today! Huge congrats Callipy - and Fx for a sticky one.

Tink and Mountain - don't despair - you're still in until the fat lady witch sings. I'm 9DPO and trying to leave POAS until Sunday - mainly because I'm away on a work jolly from Thursday to Saturday tomorrow seems too early and I'm not doing it when I get on at 5.30am on Thursday! Feeling a bit dizzy, which I'm taking as a good sign, but probably not ideal when I'll be doing some crazy bridge walking, climbing halfway up a mountain effort on Friday!

Happy Tuesday all!

mountaingirl01 · 23/09/2014 09:43

Oooh via Ferrata I/s fun bother ! Although possibly an extreme way to take your mind off tww ;)

I'm 12dpo and have to hold all my wee this afternoon for the infertility clinic so will take a frer along with me and test afterwards (don't think I'd be able to wait till I got home the hospital is quite far!) Have a nice evening planned to take my mind off the double disappointment or celebrate

wilmabedrock · 23/09/2014 10:18

Congratulations Callipy, fantastic news!

freshstart4us · 23/09/2014 10:29

OMG callippy that is a terrific line! Congrats!

And before as they say, a line is a line etc! With my DD I got a bfn on AF due date, and didn't get a BFP until 3 days late. 'Tis very much within normal realms!!

TinkerBlue · 23/09/2014 11:14

mountain good luck today. Brave move, fx

jellypi3 · 23/09/2014 11:43

anyone ever asked their doctor about PCOS? All this research into lack of periods has made me wonder if I might have it? I get the occasional spotty patch on my face (mainly my chin) and have always been a hairy woman (I always put it down to being Turkish, I know Mediterranean women are sometimes quite hairy) and am slightly heavier than I would like to be (but this is since I went on the injection, before then I was tiny). I just don't ever remember having irregular periods before the injection.

Do you think it's worth suggesting it to the doctor or will they just tell me to stop worrying until my periods return?

BeforeIChangeMyMind · 23/09/2014 12:26

Jelly it's worth a mention, they might offer you a scan. Though it's possible to have cysts without the full syndrome too. Can't hurt to ask.

Felt pregnant yesterday and this AM so did a digi. Digi says no. Now I just feel like a numpty.

But 13 days post ov pain may mean fewer days post actual ovulation. It's what twin packs were made for.

I still feel like a numpty

jellypi3 · 23/09/2014 13:25

Don't feel like a numpty. Just remember your not out till the witch comes crashing!

Incidently I love the word numpty.

freshstart4us · 23/09/2014 13:26

Oh Before please don't feel like a numpty! Or if you do, please know that you are in EXCELLENT company. Flowers

Leela5 · 23/09/2014 13:33

before you're not a numpty. Digis are less sensitive. Try again tomorrow morning with frer if possible x

OP posts:
callipygian00 · 23/09/2014 14:01

before you are definitely not a numpty - you saw a line and you're still early on, it might just take a wee while to get darker. Try super drug early preg test, don't bother with digis.

KatoPotato · 23/09/2014 14:15

Before, you are no numpty! The digitals require a v high level of HGC and it's early days still. - But seeing it so bluntly can't have been nice! Flowers

You know you saw your line, and we all know a blank well enough to see a line when it's there! I looked at my first pic of my CB (not digital) and can't even see it anymore!

Any news from Mountain?

Calippy, your line is gorgeous! how're you feeling? x

TinkerBlue · 23/09/2014 14:35

before you ain't no numpty! You've put me off my digi I'm saving, have bought 3 for £1 hgc strips, so I can happily pretend they're wrong for a few more days. Smile Not brave enough for a frer, prefer head in the sand. Just looked back and I can def see something on your frer pic, am on kindle HD fire and the screen is ace. If it's evap, or if it's bfp I guess remains to be seen, but I concur with you, it's not like any bfn I've pissed on Grin!!
My vote is for all the twotters to get out marker pens and draw our own lines on!! This is bloody agony, maybe the positive (geddit) vibes will align our planet's or something!

jellypi3 · 23/09/2014 14:43

Oh calli, don't we need stats? :D

callipygian00 · 23/09/2014 15:03

Sorry about the crap stats, only took note of the 3 dates around icing! Can't really remember what stats I'm supposed to put up either so let me know if I miss something!
Age:33
Iced: CD14
DTD: CDs 11, 12, 14
Second month using Balance Activ Fertility Spray btw...

Current feeling: ecstatic yet terrified. Wishing I had a zoom to 12 weeks button!

BothersomeB · 23/09/2014 15:09

Tink - can you see a line?
