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

I can definitely see a smudge of pink. So you are 13dpo?

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 15:27

I think 13dpo yes. Have sent DP out for frer. Shall I save up some wee and do one this eve or wait for FMU? Oh gosh I'm now remembering what a royal pain I was while preggo with DD.

Ain626 · 02/05/2015 15:35

sky is AF late? Sorry, I can't remember... If AF is late, save up some urine and do it this afternoon. If it's not, then maybe wait for fmu..

My opinion anyway...

justtheonethen · 02/05/2015 15:37

Try and wait for fmu I think. Cautiously excited for you!

Hobbit19 · 02/05/2015 15:41

I would try to wait for fmu if you can, a nice strong test result will mean that we can all get super excited for you!

Ain626 · 02/05/2015 15:41

Of course you could always get DP to get you two.... sorry for fueling the crazy

Hobbit19 · 02/05/2015 15:45

Star for Ain! Ha ha good thinking!

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 16:00

He's returned with cb's! He didn't pay attention when I said superdrug own brand. Poo

pretzelpieces · 02/05/2015 16:17

Agh oh no. How many mIU are they?

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 16:20
  1. No good. Will do another ic tomorrow with fmu. Am casually optimistic.
Niffertiti · 02/05/2015 16:20

Oooh, Sky, I think I can see something too! I've got two superdrugs, what part of the country are you in?Wink

Told parents. Drinking is a group activity in my family. My poor dh barely drinks, he finds it quite difficult being constantly plied with booze.

LaLaLaaaa · 02/05/2015 16:30

Hello!! This is an exciting thread!

Tentative congrats for you niff and fx for full moon unicorn sky!

Keep shagging everyone, this is a lucky Fred!

honeysucklejasmine · 02/05/2015 16:36

Blimey, more grads than undergrads these days! Congrats all!

I was crazy today. I went in to John Lewis and Mother are and neither of them had any cosatto prams out! How annoying is that?! I know, I'm mental

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 16:41

honey forward planning is extremely important! It is totally sensible.

Have just been explaining the different types of tests to dp. He is very keen on the cbdigis Grin

What's for tea round yours? Homemade pizzas here. Nobody has screamed or cried for hours.

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 16:43

niff I am in London but you dont want to come near me. I have a nasty flu bug.

justtheonethen · 02/05/2015 16:47

Going to BBQ some chicken thighs here.
I've got the weirdest messages on my home answer phone...some poor old lady has left three messages looking for a Tony, then her friend called saying "Pauline is really worried about Tony as she hadn't heard from him in a week and he didn't turn up today as usual so call" no number to call back and say she has the wrong number. Poor woman! Hope she calls back.

justtheonethen · 02/05/2015 16:48

Where in London? I am too, could arrange a MI5 style FRER handover Grin

justtheonethen · 02/05/2015 16:50

*an I'm not illiterate promise!

Niffertiti · 02/05/2015 16:50

Sky I'm not far away... Just SW of London. But I have a cold so it sounds like neither of us is moving far. I might do a superdrug with fmu tomorrow if no af...

Honey I have no idea what a cosatto pram is but I did take long very longing glances at the baby clothes in next today.

CarrotPuff · 02/05/2015 17:01

I can never see anything on ICs, I end up seeing 3 lines Hmm but still getting very excited for Niff and Sky, tentative congrats! I'm next

That's a lot of shagging feathered, well done! Star

I've slipped on the stairs and hit my lower back. It was quite sudden, I thought I broke my spine. But I think I'll get away with just a bruise. If something got dislocated I would have felt it straight away, right??

I'm currently in The Rage mode. I must have iced earlier than I thought (which is good), as it's normally a sign of AF approaching...

Stoatystoat · 02/05/2015 17:01

This Fred needs rechristening. Just shagging? There's no just about it. Carry on Shaggging and powering through more like. I'm going contraband this month, two weeks of this...DH deserves a medal.

justtheonethen · 02/05/2015 17:05

Ouch carrot might be worth booking in with an osteopath just in case as you may have jarred something.

jellypi3 · 02/05/2015 17:05

Tentative congrats too sky :)

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 17:10

I am North and East. Pretty sure DP will go skipping up to Asda later. I am sure he is dying to know. Then again he claims to see nothing in the photos Confused

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 02/05/2015 17:11

Oh and thank you viroids for fueling my crazy, and being so supportive!
