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

Just lie and say you meant months, they wont have written it down anyway probably

Blackdogwalker · 05/05/2015 19:30

Yeah, except I wrote that in an online booking. Duh. Gonna lie anyway!

pretzelpieces · 05/05/2015 19:53

lil so glad to hear the baby stuff is sorted and I hope it gives you a little more peace of mind.

stoat Flowers for you, sorry things are so tough at the moment :(

Donned my cape this afternoon for the commencement of this cycle's shagathon Grin. Am meant to be -5dpo today. Got a really faint squinty line on opk so hopefully the app is predicting correctly.

Good luck with appointment blackdog tell them it was a typo

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 20:28

I don't think the months / cycle things should matter. It's pretty arbitrary anyway. I would be very peeved if they stuck to it rigidly! For me a year is 16 cycles, bit for my friend its 8! How is that fair?

Phoned consultant today and left any answer phone message. Will phone again tomorrow. I am determined to find out if I do need to keep waiting, and if I do, is there anything else I can do as I wait.

Just went to the fire station with the Rainbows and Brownies.

FeatheredTail · 05/05/2015 20:38

Jelly has giggletits sounds a bit pervy, but made me snigger!

Honey it really is all about the lube. DH slightly split his foreskin after the third shag at the weekend and was worrying about it....until the fourth shag, when he totally forgot about it as his willy was covered in "conceive plus". Really is a knob life saver.

Niff - yep, long working hours mean that shagging has to be really carefully planned. We wouldn't usu spontaneously shag on a Tuesday night - we're lucky of we're both home by 9pm. I'm definitely going back to temping, when I did that I cld usually spot the temp spike....although not sure how accurate my BBT thermometer is. I use it under my tongue. Should I be putting it up my fan? It didn't suggest it on the box - just said to use orally. Can you suggest a brand?

daisyspice · 05/05/2015 20:38

Lil and stoat big hugs for u gals x

Hooya bod and sorry the witch came!

Jelly I'm kidding myself on I'm back at slimming world but taking the stairs four flights six times a day surely this will prevent me being a fat bride Wink

Got a faint positive on an opk today shagged anyway but don't think my bod knows what's going on

FeatheredTail · 05/05/2015 20:38
  • usually

  • if

daisyspice · 05/05/2015 20:39

That was sorry the witch came sky!

Bloody fone

Oh forgot to give u giggle....the elastic on my pants went today whilst walking to work thankfully had trousers on and didn't flash my arse to the entire population

justtheonethen · 05/05/2015 20:42

daisy Grin did you have to go commando?

WouldRatherHaveWine · 05/05/2015 20:54

stoat I'm giving you a gentle telling off. You are being too hard on yourself, your body will be normal it just takes time. I fully understand as I felt the same after the MC, but then I did some reading and felt better in that it is really common to take a while. I'm 7 months on and my cycle still isn't right. You need some time to heal emotionally and you are allowed to have bad days! Hope you are okay Flowers

I discussed the shagging situation this weekend with OH. Told him I was ovulating according to FF so how we're we going to squeeze it in around a toddler and him working night shifts. His response - "why? Do we need to do it?" Angry

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 21:10

Does he know how babies are made Wine? Angry

Misskrissy · 05/05/2015 21:10

Evening all hugs to those who need/want them!
Keeping my chin up here (she says with a face full of spots bloated tum and a rather short fuse,)!!
would what was your reply?
I'm wondering whether tears or full blown bat shit crazy lady would work best here (storing all your tips and tricks for future refGrin)!

pretzelpieces · 05/05/2015 21:22

Oh yes, was going to share that my ROC is a science beaker that DP nicked from one of the labs at his old workplace. I like to think I'm conducting my own little experiments in my bathroom. Grin

pretzelpieces · 05/05/2015 21:34

wine if you didn't lost your shit completely at him you're a better woman than I.

WouldRatherHaveWine · 05/05/2015 21:38

I initially said "seriously?!?!" And apparently it came out a bit shrill. He then said that as I would like a girl it's better that we do it before I ovulate anyway. I got really annoyed then

Hobbit19 · 05/05/2015 21:39

Ha! Love that you are using a science beaker Pretzel!

CountryGal4 · 05/05/2015 21:41

Calling an irate woman shrill is the quickest way to get stabbed

stoatystoat · 05/05/2015 21:41

You lot are kind. A friend of mine warned me off forums when TTC but I would be screwed without you.

Thanks for the love and the gentle telling off, I am being hard on myself. I get frustrated that it's two steps forward and back rather than just a linear improvement. No one warned me of this, I've been googling about painful ovulation post miscarriage and getting nowhere finding an explanation.

Things seem rather wet down there tonight and I wished I'd got it in me to DTD tonight but tummy hurts. GAH.

Maybe temping next month would be a good thing if I can get organised enough.

wine Sounds like someone needs a book on how babies are made!

Niffertiti · 05/05/2015 21:42

Wine does he get how dc1 happened? Or did that come from the stork? Hilarious!

For temping jelly and lil recommended the BabyMad Digital Basal Body Temperature Ovulation Test Thermometer + BBT Chart

And you wouldn't mess with them... Seems to have done the job. This could be a link to it if I do it right...

jellypi3 · 05/05/2015 21:43

black are you taking b6 complex or just plain b6. Because for lengthening lp it has to be complex. I think normal b6 can have negative effects on your fertility?

Slimming world was interesting. Starting tomorrow. Got a headache now so off to bed. Night all

Niffertiti · 05/05/2015 21:44

Shit, sorry wine, momentary memory fail, no dcs so far? I'm crap with people's stats...Blush

Misskrissy · 05/05/2015 22:08

Shrill? God he's got balls.
I know what you mean about being warned re forums stoat I think the bad press is why I stayed in lurkdom ( stalking) for so long, but the vibe from the ladies on here just makes for giggles and support when you need them the most Smile

WouldRatherHaveWine · 05/05/2015 22:15

Haha niff, don't worry, baby wine just turned one! Admittedly we didn't talk about it when trying with DS, we were told due to health reasons it would take us a long time (they were wrong) so we just went with it. Since the MC though I've become a little obsessed about timing! And now I'm convinced this cycle is already over due to his shit work timing

honeysucklejasmine · 05/05/2015 23:15

Ooh, ooh, wine, what have you got? I have endo, hypothyroidism and lupus. I hate the bullshit "take a while". How long is a while and what will they do about it?! Grrr.

lildottie · 05/05/2015 23:27

evening all
yes to baby mad bbt
yes to shoving it under your tongue unless you're honey and insist on opening your gob all night then vag may give easier to read chart
yes to b complex not b6, where is la?!
ain I was planning on same si doses as you, can't remember if I said that!
yes men are idiots - they must think babies just appear! well dine for not punching him
pretzel, share the pretzels!!
to be fair stoat its probably bonkers people like us you were being warned about Grin as for post mc cycles, I actually have no idea how long my last cycle was,or what CD I am on now. I fond the "regularity" and length of my cycle complete unimportant information. I know when I ovulate and I know how long my lp is, therefore when AF due preferably late it's not for everyone but you may find thinking of it like that helps you refocus? my cycles haven't been what I'd call regular since stopping BC though so I guess I've adopted this approach for a while anyway, although usually know CDs, that's new since mc.
so exam tomorrow, not learnt enough for it, 50% pass rate so hoping to get by on the skin of my teeth! time for brain sleep!
love and unmumsnetty hugs to all Thanks
