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. Optional decorations include photographs of controversial 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 (or Cuntraband) = 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

SOTM = Shagger of the Month. Awarded with varying regularity to those viroids who go above and beyond EOD shagging in pursuit of that BFP

TWOT - Two Weeks of Torture. AKA Schroedingering!
TWPU - Two Week Piss Up!

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

Doing A Lemon = Testing WAAAAAAAY to early!

Miroid - The male compadre of a viroid

Cat - Compulsory

Skittletits - Killer molten painful tits and nipples

Dude that ain't no squinter! I saw that before zooming in :)

You appear to be upduffed!

Get a frer today, woo!

LaLaLaaaa · 07/04/2015 08:04

Aux af only on 3rd month - give it a few more months before tampering, you'll probably find it extends naturally. Jelly was in same position and hers are now 10 days

honeysucklejasmine · 07/04/2015 08:04

Just that's not a squinter! That's a BFP!

justtheonethen · 07/04/2015 08:07

Going to remain cautious until i get a frer but there is definitely a line there. Although I had a line on one last month. Would explain why I have a face full of spots (commented on by dp this morning, cheers dp) and am feeling ill.

Can't get out to get one until late morning though so it's going to be torture until I can!

fallenstar27 · 07/04/2015 08:07

That looks very very promising just! Grin

jellypi3 · 07/04/2015 08:10

Woohoo I knew it just congrats!!! Get thee a FRER! You are upduffed my love!

I'm totally claiming this one by the way. That's 1 BFP for me Wink

aux I know I'm the worst person to preach patience but as la says my LP was ridiculously short and I was tempted to get all sorts of drugs to help it. And this month all by myself I managed a 10/11 day LP. Sorry you are suffering with such a short one but BC is terrible, for me it's taken over a year to get my LP to 10 days. It won't take you that long, I'm certain, but drugs like soy can really affect your cycle. You hear lots of good things about it but there are just as many people who get dodgy cycles etc because of it. I would say give it another month or two to see if your LP lengthens but we are here to support you whatever you choose to do :)

There really should be a number to call for emergency FRER deliveries. Grin

gaggiagirl · 07/04/2015 08:13

just that's no squinter that's a bfp! Eek! Congratulations!

justtheonethen · 07/04/2015 08:13

All yours jelly if it is a bfp. I don't believe it, genuinely. I will if a frer says the same!

jellypi3 · 07/04/2015 08:13

Ok viroids. I need a wake up call. I'm losing my mojo.

Last night I got really stroppy for no reason at DP and told him I didn't want to shag (not done it this cycle) and when he said "don't you want to carry on TTC" I just said no, why are we bothering. So now he's really annoyed and upset at me and I'm off work feeling ill with a stinking headache.

I have no idea why I'm feeling to anti shagging right now. I just feel like it's pointless. I haven't temped this cycle either. I've lost my TTC enthusiasm.

Sorry for the downer.

justtheonethen · 07/04/2015 08:14

Ha ha honey I would pay for that!

lildottie · 07/04/2015 08:15

la is indeed the oracle of the lpd, and I have and always will defer to her on this subject! but I do agree don't mess too soon. it took over 12m for my cycle to settle into any pattern.

just congratulations! can't wait t see the frer

justtheonethen · 07/04/2015 08:17

jelly you are just having a wobble, we all do. You must remember that this is only going to be the second month your lp is long enough and so whilst it's been a while it's only really the second month. I know it's frustrating but it will happen.

It's also ok to take a break for a month or two if your sanity needs that. Here for you regardless Flowers

maemay · 07/04/2015 08:19

Someone should pitch that to Dragon's Den, along with the greetings card range of course!

CountryGal4 · 07/04/2015 08:20

Yes I knew it just well done you. No requirement to squint at that pet!!

LaLaLaaaa · 07/04/2015 08:21

Jelly I don't think anyone can stay constantly optimistic about ttc! You're entitled to a wobble!!

honeysucklejasmine · 07/04/2015 08:21

Jelly you've been shagger of the month for about 10 months now, I wouldn't worry that you're not in the mood ATM. You had a stressful evening all round yesterday, you're just coming off AF and you need to give yourself a break. I'm sure you do want to continue to TTC but it's fine to despair every now and again. (Relentless optimism is so bloody annoying, after all.)

Have a few nights off, no pressure, just shag if you want to. All it will take is one sperm. You know roughly when you ovulate by now. Even if you only shag once this month, you'll still have a good chance but you won't wear yourself out, physically or emotionally. Take a break have a kit kat from the pressure.

WouldRatherHaveWine · 07/04/2015 08:28

just cautious congrats! can totally see that!

jelly FlowersCake

Random one from me, I had a dream last night that OH admitted to an affair that I knew nothing about. Woke up feeling sick and so upset! I can't believe that a dream would have such an effect on me when it's not even real!

lildottie · 07/04/2015 08:38

aww jelly I missed ur post, sorry. you are totally allowed to feel like that. in a couple of days you will feel ready to go again. don't put too much pressure on yourself hun. x

jellypi3 · 07/04/2015 08:39

Thanks ladies. I think I'll just try to chill today and get rid of this headache. I'll apologise to DP later (not my strong point) and maybe see where we go from there in terms of shagging. I know you are right honey it only takes one.

would I hate dreams like that :(

ChatEnOeuf · 07/04/2015 08:41

Ah, new fred! And what a great start Smile Just, I believe these viroids when they say it's a line! I will have a proper look on the laptop later.

Chat, 33, DD 3.5 and Indestructabean, 29w today Grin Another post-MCs sticky one...keep the faith, viroids and take the frolic as well as the wine

maemay · 07/04/2015 08:43

Jelly maybe a minibreak would help, if not for shagging just for relaxing a bit. TTC is a lot of pressure, and I'm sure it can become all-consuming at times. Maybe some time away with DP to just chill out together would be just what you need at the moment.

auxiliaryauroch · 07/04/2015 08:52

la jelly lil thanks for commenting. You're all very kind. sniffly tears about the idea of waiting so many months for lp to fix itself!
but How do you hold out and continue ttc then? How on earth were you so patient? If I know that for my body to regulate itself it will be one lp day at a time? That's at least another six months before I can offer an implant-friendly womb. Easter Sad And then only start dealing with the normal ttc things of likelihood of conceiving each cycle and making sure eggies and spermies are up to the job. sobs

CountryGal4 · 07/04/2015 09:07

Anyone knowledgable re cervix? Mines weirdly gone soft - is that odd for 8 dpo?

MyBlackCat · 07/04/2015 09:10

just even I see a line and I never see a line on most of the IC posted on here sorry other viroids

jelly TTC is tough but you will get your mojo back, maybe have a month off and go again next cycle.

Well I'm all shagged out, we've dtd 5 days out of 7 all around and beyond the fertile phase I hope into the twot - I am determined to be upduffed, this is my month. THIS. IS. MY. MONTH Grin
