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'm glad I don't sound awful to you lot. Grin and honey I'm glad I made you laugh. As much as I love DH my time alone is precious. Hopefully she'll literally just want to crash here for the night. (She lives about 150 miles away from me, and is doing a long drive back home and my house is only a slight detour for the half way point of her drive..)

Just had a notification come through with the exit poll saying it's looking like a hung parliament with the tories having the largest amount of votes. Not the result I'm hoping for. Can't sleep as feeling a little sick (chocolate induced, my own fault) so debating getting up to watch the votes come in...

honeysucklejasmine · 07/05/2015 22:22

Yes, just checked. Seems Lab + SNP still isn't enough for majority... But exit polls aren't great anyway! So I reserve judgement.

SockQueen · 07/05/2015 22:27

Must go to bed and not stay up all night shouting at the TV...

FeatheredTail · 07/05/2015 22:30

I'm choosing to ignore the exit poll. Looks around brightly They have always been a bit wonky. There's hope yet.....

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 22:46

I can't be the only one who doesn't say anything to the people doing the exit poll so it hopefully isn't right. My area is tory through and through though Sad

CarrotPuff · 07/05/2015 22:47

I would love to vote but can't as I'm not British. Guess who wouldn't get my vote...

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 22:47

Saw a funny UKIP billboard other day which someone had drawn a hitleresque moustache on Grin

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 22:48

How apt my x post was!

CarrotPuff · 07/05/2015 22:49

Just Grin

justtheonethen · 07/05/2015 22:58

Where you from carrot? Somewhere wonderfully exotic?

LaLaLaaaa · 07/05/2015 23:30

I told the woman standing at the polling stAtion door to mind her own business Blush I didn't realise it was an official 'thing'! Oops

honeysucklejasmine · 08/05/2015 00:06

Oooh, Carrot! I thought commonwealth citizens could vote, so that rules out most English speaking places except USA. Are you European?

At least, I was told that was the case when hassled at uni to register to vote. "We're all registered at home and she's Malaysian" lead to "Malaysia is part of the commonwealth, she can vote". Sounded suspect then, still does now.

5hell · 08/05/2015 05:41

Honey i think , tho could very well be wrong, that residents can vote in local town elections etc but not in the general...at least that's the understanding of my dutch colleague. You have to be a uk citizen to vote in g.e.

Channel 4 coverage was hilarious but am noq v v tired as stayed up too late :(

CountryGal4 · 08/05/2015 07:06

I'm out

Hobbit19 · 08/05/2015 07:16

Boo. Have all of the Wine tonight carrot.

honeysucklejasmine · 08/05/2015 07:42

Country either you lost your constituency or AF arrived. Either way Wine

daisyspice · 08/05/2015 07:43

I've only been planning for a week and already I want to cry lol although we have the venue booked and enquiries sent to photographers etc dress shopping arranged bridesmaid picked so I'm getting somewhere

Jelly picked next June so better get saving WinkWink

CountryGal4 · 08/05/2015 07:47

Hahaha no af! although country for pm does have a ring to it

Upduffed fanjos for everyone!

daisy have you set a date?

jellypi3 · 08/05/2015 07:54

Aww sorry you are out country drown your sorrows of a shit day with wine.

I went to bed early but woke up at 4:30 (DP text to tell me they didn't win the seat but neither did UKIP) and couldn't get back to sleep.

Looks like we are blue again (more so than 2010). Yay... Hmm

jellypi3 · 08/05/2015 07:55

Wow daisy your more ahead than me haha!

CarrotPuff · 08/05/2015 08:12

just I'm from very exotic Eastern Europe Grin

5hell yes, I could vote in local but not GE

Country - I'm confused - no AF but you're out?

I would love to get married but don't think DP will ever propose...

TotallyAnonymousUsername · 08/05/2015 08:13

daisy and jelly you both have loads of time. The magazines would have you think you need two years to plan a wedding but we didn't set a date until nine months before. Totally doable! I recommend pinterest for ideas, if you can find someone prolific with a style you like they practically plan it for you Wink

Sorry you're feeling rubbish stoat, i hoe things settle down for you soon. Don't be too hard on yourself Flowers

I was quite excited on the gardening front because my carrots have started to come through. I must sow another set in between the rows. I think i did too many in my first set, I'll have to look up how to preserve them!

TotallyAnonymousUsername · 08/05/2015 08:15

Oh and shagging news. I'm jsing so i have no idea when we iced, but I'm on cd18. We've done roughly eod over the middle of my cycle. I feel so much more relaxed without the temping or opks.

CountryGal4 · 08/05/2015 08:20

Poor use of grammar should have said "no, af"

Af got me..... Bitch

honeysucklejasmine · 08/05/2015 08:36

Contraband alert... My temp was so low yesterday (36.0) that today's relatively normal one (36.5) looks like a huge jump! I didn't temp for long enough before my fertile phase so it will prob confuse the heck out of ff when it jumps on Saturday/Sunday.
