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 like pud said you know when you have a UTI/cystitis.

I had cystitis a month ago - feels like you're going to wet yourself you need to go so badly ... Then you get to the loo and you just let out a couple of drips. Which are mixed with blood if you have it badly. And it feels like pissing acidic razor blades. Repeat every 2 minutes. You will also have a fever and feel slightly crampy.

It's the worst.

CarrotPuff · 07/05/2015 08:53

Just it burns like hell when you pee if you have a UTI, at least for me, but maybe it's different for everyone. Drink a lot of water and go to loo as soon as you feel the need to go - you need to flush it out. Pee before and after sex, avoid alcohol. I think that's the standard advice.

AF in full force here. Feeling calmish about it, but also was very angry last night. I should have a baby kicking me in the ribs now, not this shit Sad

Drinking hot chocolate and plotting some pancakes with nutella...

WouldRatherHaveWine · 07/05/2015 08:56

So so so tired... had to do a run to A&E last night with baby wine after a really nasty fall and blow to his head. He cried most of the night too. My poor boy!

Day off today so going to sit on my arse and do bugger all except play and snuggle with baby wine. Although he has just eaten all of my banana. Cheeky sod

stoatystoat · 07/05/2015 09:13

carrotpuff hugs to you! that's so unfair

WouldRatherHaveWine · 07/05/2015 09:22

Sorry carrot I missed your post. Hope you are okay Flowers

nutellawithbananas · 07/05/2015 09:53

Yay off to see if new baby pics are on the FB page! Love a baby pic - although it will heighten the crazy...
Carrot - hugs... and thanks for the invite for pancakes Wink I like the classic lemon ad sugar or golden syrup!
(Weirdly I don't like nutella and banana combination!!!)

jellypi3 · 07/05/2015 10:46

Morning viroids! Congrats to splodge :) lots of JS'er babies coming through now!

la it doesn't say the strength annoyingly so in taking two because that's how many it says to take a day.

just agree with others, when you have a uti/cystitis you KNOW about it. I got it quite frequently at uni because I didn't drink enough water. Made me feel so uncomfortable I cried some days!

So! Went to the docs prepared for 100 questions and to be told to keep trying. Instead I told the docs I've been trying a year and she said ok, she's booked me in for a smear and swabs, day 3 and 21 bloods and DP for a semen analysis. Mighty impressed right now :)

CarrotPuff · 07/05/2015 12:13

Nut I forgot to use bananas... Will be making flapjacks later though.

Jelly that's great, your GP is ace!

Thanks for the reminder by they way, I've just booked my smear test, so at least I'll get it done this month. Silver lining and all that.

picklethistle · 07/05/2015 12:15

Wow that's great jelly hold onto that Dr she sounds fab. Poor baby wine hope you both have a lovely snuggley day.

I have finished job application from hell (when did they become so hardcore?). Off to the shops for chocolate, ice cream and beer! Election night! Can't wait to see hat happens!

MyBlackCat · 07/05/2015 12:31

That's great news jelly Grin

DH and I have given ourselves until July before we pay the doctors a visit, it will be 13 cycles since mc by then, hope we don't make it

stoatystoat · 07/05/2015 12:36

Starting to worry this JSing has made me ill. I still have tummy ache, worried it's a uti or something. It doesn't hurt to pee and I have no fever or anything. Just a tummy ache. Reading your posts about the hurting when you pee, I know this happens with cystitis and this is definitely not happening, I'm also peeing normal amounts. I have had lots of sex yes but been peeing before and after and have been drinking. Might try and make a drs appointment.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 07/05/2015 12:54

Hi all, sorry I did a disappearing act. A massive thank you for all the well wishing. I've had a lot of research to do about how the fuck things happen over here, and I wasn't in the best place over the w/e, terrified of m/cing. I have my first doctor's appointment tonight with the dreaded blood tests. No doubt I will humiliate myself by passing out within three seconds of him even raising it.

We still haven't told anyone yet, but I am thinking of telling my best friend later today with lots of "IT'S VERY EARLY" caveats.

I'm only 4 weeks and 5 days, and it already feels like I should MUCH further along....

I'll be going through the thread to see how everyone has been doing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

jellypi3 · 07/05/2015 14:24

Glad to hear your ok gouda :) have you gone to say hi to the grads yet?

I'm icing very soon I think, and DP is out all night (literally won't be back till the morning). Yay.........

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 14:58

Yay Gouda, glad you're OK!

And Jelly, that's fab. I have a telephone appointment with Dr tomorrow. Next actual appointment was on 20th May!

Spent morning with 3 week old and bff. Lovely! Grin

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 14:59

Oh, Jelly I'm not icing till Saturday so don't panic, you're always in sync with me! Wink

jellypi3 · 07/05/2015 15:07

Haha good to know honey. ;) hope your telephone app goes well

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 16:57

5hell! 5hell! I took the top off my propagator today and look! These weren't there yesterday! Have moved to small hadopots and replaced in the propagator with additional seeds. Exciting! Yay runner beans!

Still need to get potatoes and parsnips going... Appreciate I won't be able to grow those from seed at this point.

pretzelpieces · 07/05/2015 17:16

5hell thanks Grin I know! But we're doing eod at the moment and it was an 'other' day so I couldn't actually do anything about it other than go bonkers. Bah! Hooyah greatly appreciated haha

jelly hooray, your GP sounds great. Hope the tests are helpful.

gouda so glad you have a sticky bean and good luck with the blood tests.

carrot hugs for you.

Got a faint (but less faint than 2 days ago) opk today so trying to persuade DP to go for a quickie before we go over a friends' to watch the election night coverage to see what kind of world we'll be bringing our potential future baby into!! Scary stuff.

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 17:35

country are we the same person?!

jelly wow I'm impressed with your doctor!

carrot hugs for you

gouda so pleased you're ok, def tell a friend, imagine it would be nice to have the support. I can't do blood tests, literally fainted at my last two so I've no idea how I would do them when pg, any tips or ideas welcome. I have even been sedated for one by my doctor and still fainted and couldn't have it!

My wee is now not cloudy so no idea what that was this morning! I'm not in any pain so I'll see if it's ok tomorrow

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 17:37

Excited by seed talk, planted my runners out yesterday and have a kitchen full of other things. Most excitingly cucamelons which are delish in a G&T. Obv hoping I don't get to sample them this year!

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 17:38

stoat couldn't be a pulled muscle could it?

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 17:39

Poor babywine!

WouldRatherHaveWine · 07/05/2015 19:01

He's fine, just slathering him in arnica! Just went to vote and the women taking detail were cooing til he turned towards them. I swear they recoiled in horror and asked what happened in a tone of voice that implied I'd beaten him with a large stick.

Negative OPK this morn. Still been shagging EOD since CD4, is there any point?

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 19:43

Oh Wine, how annoying! At least they did coo though!

It's a bit quiet here tonight... Had to scroll a long way to find this on my "threads I'm on" tab!

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 19:49

I know, is everyone shagging?
