Conception

When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

It is the goat jazz we seek, but the twee monitors have too much opinion on getting between the sheets, sexpests writing notes we may be, but at least the bins go out! We're all praying our uterus won

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.
  5. Thou shalt not be offended by the word vagina.

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

Waves hello to everyone - it's been mighty busy here over the bank holiday!
Joining in with other people trying to find time to make number 2 while living with a toddler!
Poor result this cycle... Friday nights efforts were fun but no swimmers produced by DP, managed to get some on Saturday night. Too tired on sunday after a day out in the fresh air watching superbikes.
So there was a lot riding on last night (literally!) - I'm going hell for leather on top, just reached the big O and in walks DD - hope she isn't traumatised for life - but we certainly lost the mood at that point...
So only dtd once - still a bit of cm this morning so might try again tonight but I think we've missed the crucial period this month. It's so different this time round - when ttc before it was much easier to have a shagathon...
hope you all have a good week and thank you for letting me whinge!

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 08:08

Ha ha ha Nut! Oh dear! Did you have to make excuses?

I want to stay in bed forever! Sadly need to get up. Have aquarobics then work.

I am considering some sort of French plait for my hair. Not sure I can be bothered though.

pretzelpieces · 05/05/2015 08:26

sky good to hear another person who has survived an eating disorder. Your DP sounds lovely!

This morning I've told DP no wanking (for him!) this week as I am hopefully a fertile myrtle and I want his good swimmers Grin

auxiliaryauroch · 05/05/2015 08:31

Howdy viroids! Back from hols. Af got me at 8dpo in the end (sod's law) and am now on cd4. yawn
No shagging at present. Still too irritable with af. Will filter into posting slowly.

jellypi3 · 05/05/2015 08:37

also nothing to report. CD11 today. Fertile phase starts tomorrow. Due to ice saturday.

CarrotPuff · 05/05/2015 09:02

Oh dear nut, how old is your DD?

Boo aux, have some chocolate.

autonomousplum · 05/05/2015 09:02

FYI ####name change###. New cycle. New life.

Apparently colours and foodgroups are hot for getting bfps these days. Grin

autonomousplum · 05/05/2015 09:02

Oh carrot I already have this morning! Shh-hhh don't tell.

CarrotPuff · 05/05/2015 09:07

Did you say foodgroups? Wink

jellypi3 · 05/05/2015 09:08

christ aux / auto i can't keep up with your name changing! IIRC didn't you start as aus? Sorry the witch got you, but 8DPO is certainly better than previously isn't it? People have gotten upeth the duff on LP's on 8-10 so don't despair (too much)

jellypi3 · 05/05/2015 09:09

having two foods in my name hasn't worked for me...maybe they counter act each other?

so you think the soy helped aut?

5hell · 05/05/2015 09:09

get JSing jel!

ooh sock i'm wel jel, i'd love to go to south america!

I think it's good to just get on and book things despite the ttc...if we dont get upduffed it's something to look fwd to, and if we do, well we're all smart women and can figure it out :)

jellypi3 · 05/05/2015 09:29

Well we had a very umprompted shag last night which was nice. Didn't even use the lube although DP said it did hurt a bit.

Quick question, obviously up till now I've been blaming the injection for my lack of BFP. When do you think I can stop blaming it and start blaming other things? It's been over a year since my last one was due, and 15 months since my last one was given.

pretzelpieces · 05/05/2015 10:11

Food groups you say?! Grin

autonomousplum · 05/05/2015 10:56

Isn't plum a food group in itself? Grin
The foodstuffs are looking goo-ooood pretzel and carrot is it just me now wanting a snack? you just need some colour too according to the current bfp trend. jelly you might have a point about them canceling each other out?Confused
Yes, serial name changer for ttc. I can't be dragging the unsuccessful vibe with me each cycle. You can call me aus, you can call me aur, you can call me aux or aut just don't call me Barry
What, people have conceived on an lp of eight days? So I only need to add one more day this month and I might actually be able to get a bfp? disbelief
jel yes I do think it helped. Shockingly. Maybe not really with the lp (I'd've liked to see a three or four day lp increase!) but definitely with bringing my ovulation forward. That six day jump forward from cd25 to cd19 would have been very unlikely to have happened by itself (whereas the lp increase of two days could have been a natural progression.) I'm doing soy this cycle again to see if it helps again but then I'll stop if no bfp to see how it settles the next cycle. Smile

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 11:17

Oh! Food and colour! That's me! That's me!

Can it also work as a swear? As in "you wankery redbanana!"

I guess if lots of wanking was done, the banana would indeed be red!

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 05/05/2015 11:20

Morning all! plum liking the name change!

Currently CD26, still no AF. Had a teensy bit of spotting in my cm this morning but thinking that may be a result of having donned the cape last night (donned the full superhero costume actually) otherwise feeling surprisingly... normalish.

I did poaic and the same result as always... faintish squinter thing. This one seemed more grey than pink though. New theory is that I am getting evaps from the extra hormones from my thyroid and adrenal drugs in my wee.

Waiting for AF to come to decide on next months action. Toying with idea of getting a persona or CB monitor and also the idea of just trying to forget about ttc altogether and "let things happen" (In the immortal words of Cher in Clueless -AS IF!)

gaggiagirl · 05/05/2015 11:30

Hiya! Just calling in to wish you all happy shagging. Orgasms make me piss myself these days Sad so does laughing and sneezing. So glamorous.

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 05/05/2015 11:39

Rubber sheets ga! No one should be without orgasms or laughter

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 11:57

Gosh Ga, you must need to be careful driving down bumpy country roads then! What with your hair trigger reflexes! Wink

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 05/05/2015 12:29

AF making herself known... Feeling a bit deflated but not as bad as I thought I might (yet). Have a pack of oreos on standby. Got my pom poms out for those of you pissing this weekend.

stoatystoat · 05/05/2015 12:32

Sorry sky that blows. Eat the cookies if you need.

autonomousplum · 05/05/2015 12:45

ga Sad it sucks I know.
Just imagine how crap it was back in 1842 when tena lady wasn't around!

lildottie · 05/05/2015 13:27

Sky Thanks do u think a monitor will work if hormones ate causing you issues on ICS? I think iiwy I'd temp for a couple of cycles and make sure the hormones aren't interfering with icing.

feeling cleansed here. DM cane over and we sorted the baby stuff out. it's all gone into her loft in 2 piles, keep and car boot.
