O Come all ye Viroids, joyful and triumphant. Deck the halls with Contraband. All I want for Christmas is a BFP! Just Shag all the way (no36)

[Purplecircle]

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. Also know as 'the witch', 'bitch witch' and 'that one with the red shiny convertible'

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! PONF = Pee on Nigel Farage. Self explanatory, who wouldn't?

ROC - Receptacle of Choice - what one chooses to use for the task of POAS. Option decorations include photographs of political leaders.

JIAC = Jizz in a Cup. Preferable to jizz on the carpet or jizz in the eye. 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. Warning - this may happen to you if you start trying to POAS at 5dpo. PUT. THE. PISSY. STICK. DOWN. IT'S TOO EARLY!

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. AKA Schroedinging!
TWPU - Two Week Piss Up!

Keeping your gingers = fingers crossed, yet another autocorrect development! Shortened to 'gx'

Doing A lemon = Testing WAAAAAAAY to early!

The rather nobbish article in which we became a little bit notorious is here. We are the dark side of MN. Welcome.

Happy Christmas shagging, shaggers!

Back to old name, keeping it fresh!

Jelly you and I are in sync I'm on day 18 too now, thanks to early witch last month.

I'm trying to ignore symptoms still!

I'm CD18 too! Weird! 5dpo, temp still high.

Clearly we spend too much time together.

haha we are all cyber synced ;)

Lol at cyber synced
I might not be able to count though. I'm on cd17!
Due to POAS Thursday 15th

Monday 12th for me.

AF due at 3pm today for me. Its defo coming. Not enough shagging but more importantly I didn't ice this cycle according to temp charts. I was too busy boozing and eating crap.

Cd5 over here and feeling in massive need of an improvement in my diet! So sluggish and bloated and generally tired. Can definitely tell it's January after a month of excess. Anyone else feeling they might need to get a bit healthy?

You know the exact time you are due on ga??

Assuming I am 3DPO I am due to test 15th too :) (well that will put me 14dpo, AF is due 12th!!

J, jelly, Kez and I are also over on the losing weight whilst ttc thread. Lots of ideas and support there.

I keep promising myself I'll lose a few kg and then I go and cook something with stupidly high calories for DH (who is naturally skinny), and end up eating it.

Today I'm making chocolate chip banana bread and I'm going to try really hard just to pack it for DH to take to work. I've also made a load of steamed hirata buns to have for dinner with "spares" for quick meals later in the week, but they'll probably all get eaten. On the plus side I'll be filling them with vegetables, so that's got to be good... right?

Also on CD18 here Jelly, Purple, Honey...

Prob won't POAS too soon just because my last cycle was 36 days and have no idea what it's doing yet. Gx for you all though!

Also feeling the need to get healthy J, post-December excess - think I'll check out the other thread for ideas!

jelly true fact! It always seems to come at 3ish.

I had to Google hirata bun Pickle! What do they taste like? Are they like the Chinese bao buns?

They're exactly the same as bao buns, it's just the japanese name for them.

I LOVE them, but spend far too much money eating out because I have no idea how to make them (or loads of other yummy steamed dim sum things), so I got a steamer for Christmas and they're surprisingly easy. It also means I can do lots of different veggie fillings for DH who also loves them, but is moaning about how unfair it is that veggie ones are nearly always mushroom and he gets no choice.

The dough was really easy to make, although being up at 9am kneading felt a little too domestic goddess for me to make them too often.

Mmm I love char Sui bao's! Man I want dim sum now!!

Hello viroids! It's been a while since I've logged on - spent Christmas a bit more offline. Looks like you've all been busy. What have I missed?! How is everyone feeling about January? I think 2015 is going to be a good year (it had better be!).

I've had some interesting progress with the doctors appointments and tests...

Oo what progress bum

I had three tests for progesterone at different times in my cycle during Dec (think I mentioned a few of them and the fact that GP was thinking I was having anovulatory cycles) - first one was on CD 20 and my count was 2, second one was on CD 25 and my count was 10 (temp charting would indicate that I iced around CD 22) so they got me in for another test on CD 32 and my count was 28, which is borderline but way better!

DH sa test was normal but GP has said he's going to refer us to specialist anyway and say we've been trying for a year (even though it's more like 9/10 months). So some positive steps! Referral unlikely to come through until mid Feb, but at least my body is trying to do the right thing and who knows what might happen in the meantime. I think my body is still trying to balance out hormones post-bcp. All speculation, of course!

How are you jelly?

Very well :) just focusing on shagging a lot this month!

Just wiped and had masses of EWCM but then had a root around and couldn't find any. Maybe I've not iced yet? I've never seen so much EWCM!

Gx for peak soon (gonna shag anyway)

Just keep shagging (a la Dora in finding nemo and 'just keep swimming')

Haha thanks!! :)

Gx for your referral to come through soon. Do they think there's something wrong with your progesterone levels then?

My nipples just decided to start hurting. I'm am so jumping DP tonight! please let it not be AF

You can't have AF yet Jelly, I won't allow it.

Gx for your referal bumble!

Haha thanks honey I'll just tell my
Body that!

So purple next to test?
