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

sunshine that is genius! We're all praying our uterus wonders why it hasn't got a baby in it, and does something about it - stat!

maemay · 29/04/2015 22:23

Woohoo, new fred!

Have a great baby-making honeymoon fluffy! Gx

Topiary13 · 29/04/2015 22:47

Hi there, is there room for a newbie? I've been lurking for two days whilst finding the courage to post.

Love the positive and direct approach on this thread and really appreciate the lack of insincere sounding fluffy bollocks.

Name: Topiary
Age: 31
TTC: off pill since oct 14, but not yet gone in for full on ovulation shagfest
DC: none

Period 3 days late. Test says not PG but no AF yet. Not sure what to think/feel.

Still lurking! Got my cheerleading outfit on to shout for you shaggers!

SunshinePickle · 29/04/2015 22:52

Welcome Topiary! What's tests are you using?

pretzelpieces · 29/04/2015 22:52

Welcome topiary! Gingers crossed AF holds off! potential kitten!

SockQueen · 29/04/2015 22:58

Welcome Topiary!

Fingers crossed for you!

Topiary13 · 29/04/2015 22:58

Clear blue digital and did it in the evening when clearly I should have waited! Must research next time before peeing all over hands and basically flushing a tenner away .....

honeysucklejasmine · 29/04/2015 23:14

Welcome Topiary! CB Digis aren't great. You want to get a First Response Early Result (FRER) or a Superdrug own brand early test, for best results. Also, pee in something and then dunk the stick, much less wee on your hand cleaner. Smile

I love it when lurkers come forward. Who was the lurker that had been lurking for something mad like 6 months?

WouldRatherHaveWine · 29/04/2015 23:27

Welcome top! My ROC is a dry shampoo lid, I like the fact the sides are bendy enough you can pour into sample bottles once you do get upduffed. I seriously don't understand how they expect you to cleanly aim. I had a very embarrassing incident at 38 weeks when I had forgotten to bring a sample so they made me go do one. Had to wrap the thing in a paper towel as the label was sopping wet and there was hardly any in the tube Blush

Topiary13 · 29/04/2015 23:31

Thanks for the great advice honeysucklejasmine. I'm wondering if Amazon sell them. Can't cope with more furtive public purchases, looking around for staff and colleagues. Strangely similar feeling to trying to buy alcohol underage! Feel like I may as well have a megaphone and proclaim how much sex I've been havingGrin

Topiary13 · 29/04/2015 23:45

would I can see I need to give a designated ROC some thought. Considered repurposing a tupperware but likely to lead to DH reusing it inappropriately!!

lildottie · 30/04/2015 00:12

topiary welcome are we that scary it took you two days to talk to us!? Grin CD digid are 25iu sensitivity, frers are 10iu, so they need less hormone to pick up a positive result. frer can also be used any time of day. as for discreet purchase, unless you know the delivery staff add them to an online grocery order! just hope they don't substitute a digi!

so the miroid looked over at me at about 9pm and declared he was sorry but wasn't up for sex tonight. I said let's see what the opk says. poaopk, fucking blatant positive line. miroid appears to grimmace. get caught on phone to DM for ages. get in shower, suggest sex to the miroid. still not keen. but then, I pulled out my new secret lesson..." think how many x y and z you could buy if we don't have to pay for another ivf!" finished with "you don't have to take long, just stick it in and deliver the goods". can you believe it FUCKING WORKED! I got me the sex! even if it was 100% functional and completely unromantic! Grin come on little eggy and little spermies, make friends!

That's romance right there, lil!

For the record, my ROC is a teeny fake Tupperware for which I have lost the lid.

fallenstar27 · 30/04/2015 05:02

honey I was the 6 month lurker... It was your own faults tho, you were too damn interesting! And I delurked as soon as we started ttc in my defence hah.

Welcome top

Good work lil

5hell · 30/04/2015 06:13

Go lil ...excellent cunning js action. I think there's something honest and satisfying in the occasional functional shag

Welcome top ...i know just what u mean about feeling a bit sheepish buying tests, no idea why...I'm 34 for gods sake, i doubt anyone thinks I'm a virgin Grin

Hobbit19 · 30/04/2015 06:37

Snort lil, you are soooooo sexy!

justtheonethen · 30/04/2015 06:44

I lurked for a bit too like four months but also delurked when ttc began.

lil fucking genius! Thats up there with the sex note aux wrote

Welcome topiary poamfs already will you, your lurking should have told you frer in morning.

Definite kitten alert! We must have cat nip in our pants
