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!

Happy Christmas shagging, shaggers!

Ah, honey - sorry you feel sucky. Christmas is tough when you're not in a great place. I'm with you - our 12 week scan would have been today and we'd planned to tell everyone over Christmas, so all the social occasions are tinged with sadness. I think getting drunk as fuck is obligatory isn't it? My therapist told me to be kind to myself and get through Christmas however I can...now, I didn't clarify, but that all sounds like 'drunk as fuck' to me...?

I'll be POAS after Christmas but hoping for a BFN for WTF cycle...not looking forward to that but guess it'll signify a new beginning.

I love Christmas but it does make me aad that I'm spending another year childless at Christmas. fx this will be the last one though. I was so sure we'd have a baby this year the Christmas decorations were buried under all the baby stuff in the loft.

jelly that's ridiculous, if it was that important to him he should have proposed way earlier so you could've got married before ttc! glad he's stopped being an idiot

Afternoon viroids. I just got a new nephew and I can't stop sobbing...how selfish am I!

Every milestone gets me too Honey
I don't think about it every day now but occasionally I still get upset
I thought we'd have a baby by Christmas or be on our way to one. I wanted to be pregnant before nephew arrived too.

I read up on failed implantation last night and with my age and PCOS the odds are against me, but I knew that anyways. I just have to keep on keeping on and hope my luck changes.

Oh purple - I'm sorry...I can't imagine how I'd feel if my sister had a baby. My younger sister is 34 and just got married - I know they're going to start TTC next year and I would find it very hard if they got there first. Not selfish to cry at all - massive mixed emotion. Be nice to yourself.

So, a now acronym to be added to our repertoire.... DAF? As in "I'm going to get daf so i don't feel so evil for being jealous of other peoples offspring"

Thank you for your support as always girlies and hugs to you all. I think we all need to hide under blankets with our lovely dp/h and enjoy the Christmas spirit like brandy, and sherry, and whiskey

I may get DAF tonight for sure. There's a bottle of mulled wine
with my name on it!

My youngest sister got married this year, if she gets upduffed before me, that will finish me off. I don't think they are trying yet though fucking hope not

I'm getting DAF tomorrow night after giving blood!!!!!

Aww hugs purple and honey I imagine it's so hard to feel the milestones :(

Lil next year you WILL have a bubba!

Daf seems the best option to me. Certainly how I plan on getting through! I was also looking forward to a 12week scan week between Christmas and New year :( I was so expecting to at least be upduffed this Christmas and instead it is my sister who is 25weeks (and last Christmas not married). It all sucks. Dh and I are hiding away this year and giving Thanks for each other. ..and getting daf [Wine] cheers ladies x

my bro and sil have had one,announce pg with second and had second since we started ttc. its shit, but I won't be setting daf - not conducive to baby making.

oh who ever asked about 7wks drought, nothing to do with ivf - dh has no sex drive and now I'm on bcp neither do I!

Sometimes though the baby making has to be put aside and enjoying life as young couple come forward. I don't make a habit of it and dh certainly doesn't but we've had a shit year and going to see it out with a good bottle.

sorry I didn't mean you guys shouldn't, I'm not because of starting ivf

Since I'm 6dpo I'll be only having small amounts over Christmas. However, I'm due on news years eve so if it's the ertd and not a bfp then I'll definitely be daf!

My little sister got married in the summer and started ttc at the same time as me. She was on the pill though and her cycles have been about 6 weeks ish long and irregular so she's convinced she won't get pregnant anyway. I think I would be jealous if she gets pg first. Though I'll be happy for her as long as I get upduffed quickly afterwards

Times of celebration do make this whole thing harder so I completely understand why you are all finding it tough. I find that's the time the most questions start to be asked too. I should be having a baby in a few weeks time and I shouldn't have to go back to work in Jan, but plans didn't work out. I like the idea of being grateful for each other though, although it's been a tough year, sounds like a good plan.

No booze for you lil, keep that warm prepped and ready! But drink some water!

Aww viroids sorry you are all down. Let's be optimistic eh. This time next year we will all be upduffed or with babies I am sure of it!!!

Yes we will Jelly!

PMA jelly - babies for all in 2015!!

Sorry that you're feeling down :(. It's so hard at Christmas as it's such a landmark - you thought something would happen by Christmas, or you'd expected to have something by Christmas. Please don't give up - I was at rock bottom in September and was sure that I would never have my baby.

Life is funny, it creeps up on you no matter how much you plan. I was meant to be married by 28 and have a child by 30. Instead I spent 5 years wondering when my dh would propose, whilst my friends got married, and I eventually gave him an ultimatum. He proposed and we got married. Surely babies would then follow, right? Because it had happened to all my friends and so it would happen to me. But month after month it didn't and I got more desperate, whilst people announced pregnancies around me and had 2nd babies.

I still don't trust that it's actually happening.

Please believe me that whatever happens it will be ok. It might not be as you'd expected or within expected timeframe, but you'll get there.

I still feel so sad for my baby who never developed. He will always be my first baby. He would have been a month older than his cousin rather than a month younger. I also would be having my 20 week scan this week honey, sending you a hug.

2015 is a new year. I truly hope it's the year you all become mums - you all deserve it.

Group hugs all round xxx

Sending hugs all around. Seems everyone is feeling a little sad tonight.

I'm feeling a little sad myself, but maybe not so much as some of you. Mostly I'm feeling exhausted.

Is a side effect of metformin losing your appetite? Part of my problem with weight before is that when it came to portion sizes, etc. I seemed to be able to eat massive portions easily if I wasn't careful. I've been eating healthier the past few months since ttc, and since PCOS diagnosis even more so - especially with portion control - and I am finding I am getting full far more quickly. I'm not complaining about it, just wondering.

I managed to not put any weight on in Germany at the Christmas markets. In fact, I lost some. And that was eating junk food pretty much the whole weekend. Though we did also walk a lot.

Chat We've got 3 of the mugs. I'm not a fan of mulled wine, so mine was used for hot chocolate! Each market appeared to have their own design. Was a little tempted to try and get one from each! Haha!

runs through the door

gets her breath back

I'm heeeeeere!

Not been on here over the last few weeks due to being stupidly, unhealthily busy!
