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

Viroids, sincerest apologies for my lack of input. Just been lurking after a rubbish week.

Cake and Flowers to all those who need it.

I've been awake for 29 hours now. And am off for my smear in an hour, so yeah, fun day ahead.

jellypi3 · 08/05/2015 09:04

Good luck fallen!

Can anyone please explain why I have skittletits but haven't iced yet!

CarrotPuff · 08/05/2015 09:05

Aww sorry Country, Wine and more Wine

Totally I don't use contraband but I'm tempted not to look at loo paper when I wipe this month so that I don't see any pant snot and get excited...

Aww fallen what happened? Have you been watching elections all night?? I hope the nurse is gentle!

fallenstar27 · 08/05/2015 09:17

Yeah I work in the media carrot Confused

I hope so too!

I'll let you know how I get on jelly, did I read that you've booked yours along with other fertility tests?

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 08/05/2015 09:29

Greetings all. Still alive over here. Finally got doctor to prescribe something that works for the sinus pain induced migraines. Zomig! I was a bit clumsy for a few hours but man, that is an improvement!

Had a long but inconclusive chat with DP about TTC. He reckons getting a Cb advanced monitor and doing the temping will help me feel in control and therefore less stressed. I am not sure. Something tells me it would make the obsession worse... Today is cd4. Am I too late to start this cycle?

Cake and Brew to all today.

justtheonethen · 08/05/2015 09:40

country Sad gutted for you cycle buddy

justtheonethen · 08/05/2015 09:43

country gutted for you cycle buddy Sad

justtheonethen · 08/05/2015 09:44

Oh though I had lost the first one!

pretzelpieces · 08/05/2015 09:55

Sorry AF arrived country

Feeling horribly depressed today about the election results. Going to slope off to GP about an issue unrelated to ttc and hope I finally get some answers!

CountryGal4 · 08/05/2015 10:22

Just you have to be upduffed for the both of us!!!

picklethistle · 08/05/2015 10:28

Sorry AF arrived country Cake for you.

Amazed at what happened in Scotland. Wonder if Cameron will appease them this time?

Is anyone still in for piss party this weekend? I seem to be late. Not getting excited as I think I can feel her coming today. She's a bit sneaky my witch!

autonomousplum · 08/05/2015 10:46

I'm sorry country that sucks!
fallen what a hassle being awake so long. and with such a rubbish result at the end of it. Definitely outs political self
sky not too late to start now at all. Why don't you just try one of them though. Forget the monitor and just try the temping. And don't worry massively about getting it perfect otherwise I think you're right about it actually stressing you more rather than just giving you a sense of control? Just see it as an added bit of info on your cycle? Getting to know your hormones. Grin

autonomousplum · 08/05/2015 10:47

hallo carrot waves for no real reason

autonomousplum · 08/05/2015 10:49

Posted too soon. Meant to ask carrot what happens in exotic Eastern Europe during our elections. Do they care?

autonomousplum · 08/05/2015 10:53

So. Cd7. Cycle 6 ttc since af returned. Aa-aaaaargh. I really didn't think I would get this far without any luck. I have such respect for those of you sitting on cycle 11 or 19 or 26. Flowers

Highlight of the moment? Farage hasn't been reelected. At least there is some joy to the day.

jellypi3 · 08/05/2015 10:54

Yh fallen I've got my smear and a chlamidya test in a few weeks.

justtheonethen · 08/05/2015 11:35

Im in for piss party Sunday!

justtheonethen · 08/05/2015 11:37

I'll try country Wink

honeysucklejasmine · 08/05/2015 12:29

I'm tempted not to look at loo paper when I wipe this month so that I don't see any pant snot

Lord, I don't have to look, its a fucking slip'n'slide down there!

Had telephone appointment, he will refer me. Took less than a minute. All good! Thanks, NHS!

VE Day service tonight. Am taking the Union Jack along (at request of RBL, Girlguiding have a lovely one) but feel too nervous to hold it etc during service! Will palm off on my friend.

Pickle did you say late? How late? How many dpo are you?

Auto I can confirm that being cycle 11 does suck balls, but I can't imagine higher! That must suck mega balls!

fallenstar27 · 08/05/2015 12:50

aut I'm in Scotland so it was pretty fascinating to watch unfold regardless of voting persuasion. 32 hours awake now. Off to bed.

jelly it was totally fine, I actually feel a bit silly that I've been avoiding it for 4 years. Uncomfortable but over very quickly. Fingers crossed it comes back fine.

picklethistle · 08/05/2015 13:03

Good work fallen sleepy well.

honey Not actually sure when I ovulated and AF was due Wednesday according to period tracker. Was duped in January when was 4 days late but then she came after I poas. Last month was two days early so just waiting for her to show up. Might piss Sunday if still no sign bit crampy hoping it's not her

honeysucklejasmine · 08/05/2015 14:17

womble stretches feel like AF

MyBlackCat · 08/05/2015 14:27

Cycle 16 so many I've lost count sucks mega big time Angry

CarrotPuff · 08/05/2015 14:40

aut I've no idea. I guess it's like everywhere - people who are generally into politics do, but others not really.

Cat it sucks. I've entered double digits too... Never thought it would take so long!

picklethistle · 08/05/2015 14:44

honey things stretch that early Confused
