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 current Grads Fred is here

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!

Oh Tink that's just shit :( How bad of your doctor's to lose a referral! Please don't become a stranger, we want to hear from you and all eagerly anticipate your BFP (you will probably beat me at any rate!).

Oo snow Ga sounds fun! We've just got clouds and intermittent rain in London at the moment!

I'll POAS tomorrow for you ladies, but I don't want any of you to get your hopes up!!

jellypi3 · 13/01/2015 13:50

Think we might have been a bit premature, just wiped and had the tiniest amount of spotting.

I'm now trying to squeeze out AF lol!

lildottie · 13/01/2015 13:58

aww jelly I hope its in not AF, but if it is at least its been a longer cycle. I'd def temp next month as you didn't get the peak. if I were u I'd want to know I was definitely icing and bbt with cbfm will at least tell you that

tink that's shit. I'm angry on your behalf. can you speak to your gp and get them to force referral through quicker?

jellypi3 · 13/01/2015 14:03

Yeah Lil i am planning on temping this cycle, I did actually temp yesterday and tried to this morning but my cat had knocked my thermometer off the table in the middle of the night, so I went around looking for it and so I had already gotten out of bed etc.

Will deffo do it tomorrow though. I am convinced I'm having trouble icing properly tbh, it could very well be the after effects of the Depo injections (can take many months to leave you system), but the signs seem to be getting more positive. But as you say with BBT and CBFM I should know next cycle if I do ice.

I just can't believe I have to do EOD shagging all again........

WigglyBraddins · 13/01/2015 14:05

tink and jellyyes yes yes yes yes...wish upon the Lovejoy star. It is bound to be the bringer of super fertility.

tink rubbish news on your referral. Massive grrrrrrrrrrr.

jelly hope it's not AF. Remember that with this pregnancy I had a BFN and a (lighter than usual but still going on for three days) AF before I finally got my BFP. FX it's that.

honeysucklejasmine · 13/01/2015 14:05

Tink I'm so sorry, that sucks! Don't go away. Stay here!

Ain Flowers

Jelly gx its not the witch.

jellypi3 · 13/01/2015 15:00

Ahh I think it is folks! Spotting has become slightly heavier, and wiping is producing smeary brown EWCM. I reckon she'll be here properly by tonight! And at least this cycle was 27 days!!

Never mind! Purple you're next to test right?

honeysucklejasmine · 13/01/2015 15:14

Pooey, sorry Jelly. Hope she goes easy on you.

jellypi3 · 13/01/2015 17:29

I'm sure she will, i'm not in pain like I was last month so already it's easier (I do feel for you there honey). I guess my biggest upset so to speak is that we MUST has surrounded that egg with sperm this month, we DTD 14 out of 22 shaggable days! I think it's just adding to my concerns that something might be wrong, but we can't go to see a doctor for ages, probably not until October this year (you can't go until you have been TTC for a year right?).

lildottie · 13/01/2015 18:14

some places is 2yrs jelly but do your research. we went after 1 and Dr said guidelines 2 but did initial tests (day 21 for me sa for dh) anyway. but our clinic website actually says to get referred after 12months not 2yrs. we would've had to wait until 2years if all had been OK but as dhs sa's were both shit we got referred early.

jellypi3 · 13/01/2015 19:22

Well went I went to see my GP before AF had returned after Depo he said try for a year having sex 3 times a week and come back and see him if it's not successful!

Oh well new cycle starts today. The witch is being very kind to me but I'm very tired, almost fell asleep on the train!

Stoatystoat · 13/01/2015 19:59

Well I am in a lot of pain today, my back really hurts, but as Ovia tells me this is most likely due to PMT. I have been ravenous, well not hungry but felt sick and food settles it so probably is PMT as I'm always so hungry then. The back is the worst, I can barely stand straight. It ached a tiny bit yesterday, usual PMT levels but today is even worse and exacerbated by the fact that I've been in charge of a two year old today and had to lift him a few times.

Not helping thinking AF is here is those rancid orangey stains in my underwear - admit it you know the ones - I have a bit of pant snot so on first sight, it makes me think the witch is here.

5 days to POAS or the witch arriving.

DH said we would not POAS until I was a week late. Yeah right.

jelly hope you're ok.

tink sorry you've been let down! that stinks. Don't feel you have to leave, though I understand if you need a break.

townsender · 13/01/2015 21:52

Rubbish about your back stoat. Maybe it's the 2 year old and the witch will stay away? gx anyway.
A week late before poas?!? Hahahah

jelly, what's Depo (dumb question from me again!)? I'm sure you'll get a bfp well before you need to worry about if referral is 1 year or 2 years, especially with your strict shagging regime.

Tink sorry to hear that, don't give up hope, but do keep on at 'the system', call whoever you need to nag to keep your case moving. Referrals seem to get lost or fall through a crack all the time. You can lurk all you like, no pressure to post.

AFM I really have no clue where I am this cycle, so next time (assuming I don't get a bfp) I will def try temping. The day AF arrives I will march down to Boots and buy myself a thermometer. Or maybe I will buy one earlier, to invoke the law of sod. I was going by pant-snot monitoring and thought I'd iced Friday, but pant-snot was back yesterday so maybe not. Will DTD tonight anyway, just to make sure! CD25, and last cycle was 38 days, so might still be in the window.

lildottie · 13/01/2015 22:36

town if last cycle was 38days there's a good chance that today's pant snot is icing, definitely get shagging. and I think ud spend a lot more buying a bbt in boots rather than Amazon. you don't have to start temping cd1, just as soon as you can to get an idea of temps pre icing to notice a pattern.

up early tomorrow, 1st scan at 9am eek! tomorrow it really starts getting real! Grin

Evening viroids

I'm hoping this is my lucky thread. 2 more days til I POAS. As yet no sign of witch. Nausea this morning was the worst ever, I felt shocking all morning. Last time I felt like this was when I actually was pregnant. I'm still on pant watch and quietly hoping but I'm not getting my hopes up. I still fully expect the witch to turn up tomorrow!

Gx for the scan LilSmile
