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 known 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

Ghost jizz/goat jazz - When the amazing foof sucks up all the jizz - achieved when coming at the same time/nearly the same time.

Newbies don't be afraid to join us, we're very welcoming Grin and need new members as just shaggin has been so successful in getting lots of us upduffed.

Great thread!
ill come on pet, classic anxiety dream. It doesn't mean anything.

dog bloody hell, you are a saint! I have a friend like that, saw her recently and I was glad for a bit I had no children

tink ah the higher moral ground, enjoy the clean fresh air up there Grin

feather it's too early, step away from the sticks. Hugs for you though.

How short is too short for af? Mine's always been short, 3-4 days, but this time seems to have stopped yesterday lunchtime so a day and a half. Wasn't as heavy either. There can't be enough for anything to implant in surely?
Is my body just giving up?

Kindle arrived! And it's a swankier one too!

justtheonethen · 07/08/2015 12:24

lil not ill!

pretzelpieces · 07/08/2015 12:38

just that's so lovely of your mum to get you a new kindle! Star for her

glad someone made a new thread. we were homeless there for a mo!

pretzelpieces · 07/08/2015 12:46

I know lil I went "aaaagh" out loud when I checked the old fred this morning! Shock Grin It was all that cake talk at the end of the last fred. Lulled us into a false sense of security Cake

Ooh I've found the link to the non-deleted how WOOODE fred here. That can be reinstated to the intro next time perhaps.

kezaroo · 07/08/2015 13:28

Loving the FRED title - thanks pretzel

I wrote out a huge reply on the last one to find out it was closed! So here it is (although now sounding very random)...

Woah woah woah! country I didn't know just was a taken woman... Please forgive?

JustMe I don't 'do' baby showers either. I've been invited to two over the past year and didn't attend either - politely made my excuses. Again that's what I've always been like, not just because I'm a bitter, jealous cow Grin

On the topic (which I created) of being a bitter, jealous cow:
Quite a few RL people know we are TTC, yet why do people persist on sending me pictures on their newborns / kids? Also am I just being ultra sensitive, or is everyone else's Facebook newsfeed full of people talking about babies, scan pictures, pregnancy announcements, baby pictures and status' about how their kids are going into primary school next term blah blah fucking blah!

I just feel like everyone is trying to rub It in - more so because most of the culprits know how long we've been TTC.

It has now got to a stage where I cannot speak of TTC with the DH - he's more upset/frustrated than me (and that's saying something). I just get grumpiness when I try to talk about it to him. I'm avoiding discussing it anymore with RL friends because I just get the same old "your not shaggin' enough" - well let me tell you, dear friend of mine - there is no slacking in that department

Good job I've got you lovely viroids to talk to!

kezaroo · 07/08/2015 13:29

Ferking hell that was a long post Blush

JustMeAndTheDog · 07/08/2015 13:48

Kez I think it is difficult when ppl know and carry on regardless. A little bit of tact wouldn't be too much to ask for. I also think that some ppl have no real consideration for the journey that some ppl have to go on to get their babies - the look at me, I'm so fertile I've got pg every time on the first go! Angry

Well yes viroids I am rather saintly! polishes halo This is actually the same person who I told that AF hadn't arrived post coming off the pill and then she used a pathetic voice some time later and said I know you're having difficulties but I want you to know I'm pg. We weren't even trying then and she made me feel like I was barren Karen - rant! Maybe it's a good thing AF arrived because I'll def need Wine hides face in shame

oneyorkshirepud · 07/08/2015 13:56

Found you! :-)

kezaroo · 07/08/2015 14:05

That's awful wording on her part JustMe. Sad

A friend of mine who is aware we are TTC asked me openly on Facebook the other day if I am feeling broody! I was like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! (I didn't say that, I thought it). I didn't reply.

DH have been together for a long time, married for two years and we get the "when are you gunna pop a kid out" question regular (well I do, not sure about DH). it's nobody else's business! I have never asked anyone that question and having been TTC for a year and realising it's not as easy as some people make out(!), I wouldn't dare ask!

CountryGal4 · 07/08/2015 14:13

Haha kez only teasing!

My favourite response to the baby questions is.... See ... See when we got married I told people when it would be as I was inviting them to the wedding. I won't be inviting anyone to the baby making part so don't intend on letting anyone know as it's none of their ruddy business. Works a treat :D

lildottie · 07/08/2015 14:28

haha love that country in going to use that one!

kez UNFOLLOW! that's not befriending them but it does save you from crying every time you open your news feed. I've unfollowed sil who posts daily about how great her little man and her fairy are and bff who is 6weeks ahead of where I am just so I can control when I see bump pics/birth announced/ baby pics.

unfollowing is the way forward viroids. go forth and have a Facebook cull!

JustMeAndTheDog · 07/08/2015 14:42

I agree with lil, cull away. This is one of the reasons I'm not on FB.

MrsKittenPie · 07/08/2015 14:45

Hi! Can I join?
Been a long, long time lurker on here but thought as you are having your recruitment campaign I'd say hello Smile
Hopefully I'll fit in as me and dh shag a lot Blush
we've got a ds and have been ttc since June last year with no joy at all so have decided the just shagging approach will be better than my current obsessive behaviour!
I'm 37 so a bit of an old bird really. Af rocked up today so was feeling a bit down about it but onwards to the next cycle Smile
I don't talk about ttc in rl with friends as I did tell a couple when we first started ttc but they all think we've abandoned the idea as it's been so long Confused

TriJo · 07/08/2015 14:58

Welcome Kitten :)

SecondCupOfTea · 07/08/2015 15:07

Hello Pie I prefer the shortest possible names welcome to JS, and less of the 'old bird' if you don't mind Wink

JustMeAndTheDog · 07/08/2015 15:18

Welcome Pie!

I'm pretty new too but the shaggers are very welcoming Wink

oneyorkshirepud · 07/08/2015 15:47

Kittens AND pies?! You will fit right in!

Laindon · 07/08/2015 15:53

Hello, may I join please?

I'm 21, I've been TTC for 10 months now, so this is #C10. I'm currently on CD 17 and due to test on the 19th.

I'm really nice, promise :)

Tinkfromlovejoy · 07/08/2015 15:58

Hello pie you are in good company! There are quite a few of us that have had af rock up in the last few days Wine

I'm not on Facebook in the usual sense, as in, I have no fb friends. I have a login so I can look at pages for work etc but am far to private to post stuff on there. I could never cope with seeing daily posts from preggers people Envy

All of our close friends and family know about our ttc journey because it's been so long and arduous and we've never hidden it which I think makes people quite protective of us and not rub it in our faces. My mum is the only one that doesn't cope with it that well but when she starts I just walk away. I'm also one of life's loners and don't have lots of female friends, I think that has its pros and cons in terms of support through this but at least I don't feel like I'm having to cope with baby bombs all the damn time!

Thank you for the Fred pretzel I tried to get enough signal to do one earlier but couldn't so am glad you saved the day Smile for a moment there I thought we had disbanded Shock

just your unruly fanjo strikes again eh? Sometimes my af visits have a break for a day or so. Might it be that?

Happy Friday one and all! Wine Cake

Tinkfromlovejoy · 07/08/2015 15:59

X post, welcome lain

Tinkfromlovejoy · 07/08/2015 16:06

lil don't get all woo on me! Your dreams cannot see the future! Find that zen Wink (the pill is fucking with you) Flowers

Tinkfromlovejoy · 07/08/2015 16:09

Btw pie I refuse to call you kitten until you actually DO a kitten, ie, get upduffed instantly! We've had a couple recently so I hope their luck rubs off on you! Smile and you lain

Anymore lurkers want to join in? Smile
