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

Hi all! Dulcet here, JS grad, JS lurker. Lost in the GoT chat too!

That's tough lil. Hopefully the appointment can open his mind a little bit. I know you both have to be on board but does he know how much you want this? To not even consider adoption shits down all your avenues - he needs to give you something!

Loss of husband points there fluff! Those sorts of things are annoying as you need them but they are making it difficult to not want to punch them square on the face! At least he redeemed himself.

Another one with short LP here, about 10 days normally. I didn't get to try the B6, I bought it but then got pregnant as MC seemed to lengthen my LP. But I had heard good things so worth considering sky? la description was a pretty good summary really!

jellypi3 · 08/04/2015 10:00

lil I'm going to echo what you said a while back. Why are you temping after icing??? You know that it just causes undue stress. Stop right now!

And I thought this WAS the GOT Fred? Wink. Maybe we should have a FB discussions about GOT honey :)

Still feel rough today with headache :(

gaggiagirl · 08/04/2015 10:29

I'm up for FB GoT discussion!

lildottie · 08/04/2015 10:30

problem is dulcet I'm not sure if I do want it. my mum is adamant we must try ivf again or we'll regret it. trouble is I don't know any more if I want a baby because I want a baby or if I want a baby because I'm supposed to want a baby. I just don't have anything left in me to keep going on like this.

lildottie · 08/04/2015 10:31

and jelly because I've been doing it for years and no my charts inside out upside down and back to front so I'm allowed ;P

jellypi3 · 08/04/2015 10:34

Then your allowed haha

OP posts:
lildottie · 08/04/2015 10:36

I should really do some work

DulcetMoans · 08/04/2015 10:38

Well that's a much harder question to answer lil but I remember thinking it too. Is there any counselling you can get from the clinic? I know mine had a fertility counsellor available who ran the group sessions sometimes and she was nice. Just someone to help try and get to the bottom of that question.

I'm getting Netflix soon but was then told GoT isn't on it. Not sure ill ever see it now!

jellypi3 · 08/04/2015 10:38

Also sorry your DH is feeling like this. I'm sure he will come around maybe it's just the effect of the maybe BFP playing on his mind

jellypi3 · 08/04/2015 10:39

Dulcet do you have sky?

OP posts:
ZylaB · 08/04/2015 10:41

dulcet if you've got sky it's on the catchup bit :). Also Sky Atlantic are rerunning it late events :)

ZylaB · 08/04/2015 10:41

*late evenings

DulcetMoans · 08/04/2015 10:46

No, we have BT Vision which we normally don't mind. This is the first thing people have raved about that I've wanted to check out. Sure a friend will get the box set soon that I can borrow!

Lookingforadvice123 · 08/04/2015 10:50

Morning all!

Sorry to hear of your struggles lil. Apols for asking but I'm new - I take it you've tried IVF before?

I've been feeling exhausted yesterday and today, and today my exhaustion has been joined by a headache Sad due to ovulate next week according to my app so no idea if that's of any relevance.

Can I ask what LP means? And what does it mean if you have a short one? Spot the novice!!

justtheonethen · 08/04/2015 10:57

Bfn Sad

CountryGal4 · 08/04/2015 11:02

Boo just. You may only be 9 dpo. Pissy party Friday or sat?

auxiliaryauroch · 08/04/2015 11:02

You guys rock! Grin thanks so much for the effort and wisdom!

justtheonethen · 08/04/2015 11:07

You're on country

auxiliaryauroch · 08/04/2015 11:07

just Sad
lil also echoing thoughts about appointments and DH's and making one's way through the quagmire. Work is of course a foolproof way to either get your mind off stuff and be super productive, or fail to get your mind off it and fail at doing anything productive. I'll tell you which I am. groan Hmm Currently trying to write notes for an important meeting so I know where I am when put on the spot but hey, here I am checking in on mn.

auxiliaryauroch · 08/04/2015 11:07

Confession. I've never watched a single episode of GOT. Blush

auxiliaryauroch · 08/04/2015 11:08

Time for paracetamol, jelly?

lildottie · 08/04/2015 11:17

dulcet I think counseling would be a good idea at this stage. but again not sure if dh will be keen!

looking I've been ttc for 2.5yrs, found out last Feb we had male factor infertility and finally did our first ivf in Jan. I got a bfp, probably twins, and miscarried at 5weeks. I've been waiting for follow up appointment at clinic ever since and finally got DAT of 21st April yesterday. dhs aperm back to normal ranges when we did the ivf. we ibky get one cycle funded here so any more we have to pay for vat about £5k per go. we have none frozen so it would be starting from scratch.

lp is leutal phase, the time between ovulation and AF. it can be different from one woman to another, but stays the same each month in the same woman. anything less than 10days is considered a leutal phase defect as it is not enough time for embryo to implant before progesterone starts to drop.

auxiliaryauroch · 08/04/2015 11:18

fluffy ltb.Grin
No but seriously, if stuff hurts he can't expect you to do it! that is pretty close to being well plain nasty. If you have a sore head, would he think it is okay to repeatedly whack you around the ear? Would you feel you have to allow him? Why is this any different? Sex isn't a free pass for him to inflict pain and you shouldn't feel you have to do it in the way he wants if it isn't nice for you either. Well done on standing your ground.
Sorry for my rant but I have a thing about power and expectations when it comes to sex with regards to male control and ownership. I shall stop blabbing on now but really pleased you didn't give in to something uncomfortable just to make him happy. Flowers

lildottie · 08/04/2015 11:18

aux lol, I too am in the latter category!

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 08/04/2015 11:34

just it's ok. It may just be too early to properly tell. I am in the same boat, AF due Friday and I am now mentally preparing to deal with not being pregnant even though i thought i was (again) while hoping against hope that I'm wrong! i am almost out of ICs and i think I won't get anymore for awhile.

lil sending a big hug your way. You're incredibly strong and I believe you'll get it figured out with your DH.

Having a bit of a wobble today. My dad has lung disease and is only expected to stay in remission 2-5 years. I just can't cope with the idea of him not being here to meet a new baby.
