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)

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.

Jizz in a bra = how we transport the jizz to the Sperm Queen

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.

NFMV stopping the stupid pill means dastardly spotting is making it difficult to know wtf is going on, but I think my cycles have gone from 48 days down to 42, which has got to be good news huh? Confused

Farmer I would say that can only be a good thing!

I looked at the stats before I posted and nearly had a heart attack when it said I was 26. I somehow completely forgot that the last 3 years happened! I've also been sitting at my desk for 2 hours before realising someone had left chocolate cornflake and brownie bites on it.

Although, she does work for Cats protection as a fosterer. Six are hers.

Fur babies: 1 moth chasing cat, 6 chickens, one of which laid her teensiest first egg today, like a quails egg!

yb normally ice on cd 13/14. Think I must have iced early though as o ok today (first one this cycle) was really faint. So with dp being away until Friday and not shagging til Sat am I think I've missed my chance this month.

If boobs started hurting Sat I must have iced Friday? On cd10. What do we reckon wise ones. I need to somehow figure out when to go for day 21bloods. Was banking on them being next week not this week when I'm going to struggle to leave work early.

Honey I briefly helped out at a dog and cat rescue centre, but couldn't stay when they changed insurances. Just as well as I really couldn't afford the new additions to my household!

Three of the cats are rather elderly ladies now but don't worry Feathered, they all have full bladder control (at the moment, anyway).

They are fantastic little pals of mine Just. CD10 sounds quite early. Do you often have a fluctuating ovulation date?

The witch is here :-( had a complete wobble last night and declared I didn't want to do this anymore. Decided this morning that it was the pain talking and as we can fit in two more cycles to round off our four iui attempts before Christmas then we should try.

Back on the diet wagon as well.

just I've had pre ov sireboobs before. Do bbt tomorrow am and compare to past charts. It won't be a definite or exact answer but may help, and keep doing the opks. If you have to fudge day21s go a day or two later rather than earlier I think (based on true ov). So if you did ov Friday, go Monday latest if you have to do next week.
