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 used to be embarassed to buy condoms at the checkout (especially as Boots always used to do good BOGOF offers, and I was paranoid that the checkout person would think I was a sexpest!)
Thankfully I don't have that problem anymore; now it's buying pg tests and lube!! ;-)

And for my tuppence regarding smears,... (for the sake of full disclosure so you're informed!) mine was horrendous. All this "oh it's just mild discomfort" was crap! It was excruciating, and I bled for 2 days. TWO DAYS! (I now realise that this could be due to my backwards fanjo so it was more difficult for the nurse to get in -so if you have a backwards one ("inverted" I think is the technical term, maybe??) then be prepared.
I would still DEFINITELY recommend doing it though -as others have said, it's worth it to catch any possible cancer at the earliest point.

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 30/04/2015 10:24

Morning all! Welcome newbies!

Have woken with a very sore throat. Beginning to think all my symptoms I've been spotting are actually flu symptoms. With the notable exception of yesterday's Technicolor dream cm...

You there top poamffrer! The suspence is killing me.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 30/04/2015 10:39

Sky Grin at technicolour dream cm!!

I think today and tomorrow are going to feel like an eternity. Everytime I go to the loo (which is ALOT) I am expecting to see the beginning of AF and praying that I don't. MEEEEEEEP.

I don't have back ache so far today but I do have a slightly odd pulling feeling, a bit like muscle ache, just below my hip bone on the right side. I do however get symptoms every month which make me hopeful I could be on the way to a bfp, so only time will tell.

ARGHGHGHG!!!!

Sorry I know I keep ranting about it!!! I've done many MANY pregnancy tests in my time (both when I was desperately praying for a negative and the reverse) but I've not once had a bfp. I can't even imagine getting one tbh!

goodnessgraciousgouda · 30/04/2015 10:40

Then again cd26 is a perfectly normal AF day for me (even if I average 25) so this isn't even unusually "late" yet.

5hell · 30/04/2015 10:53

so back to crafts...do you think this could work with dog hair? our dogs are moulting and figure I could put all my hoovering to good use at least...

crafting with cat hair

WouldRatherHaveWine · 30/04/2015 10:54

Welcome nouse!
jelly my pre baby smear was a doddle. The one I had this time round was more uncomfortable and achy after but I don't think I'm a good example. My cervix had a lot of damage during delivery and it even aches when I first come on.

5hell · 30/04/2015 10:55

keep ranting gouda you know we dont mind, and we all have gx for you
(and top and sky) :)

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 11:04

Welcome newbies!

Don't sweat your smear Jelly - I went for mine a couple of weeks ago and had no issues whatsoever - not even "mild discomfort". However...the nurse was making it seem as though I was about to give birth with her (well meant) chuntering on about "they're never nice are they? DEEP breaths...DEEP breaths...you'll be FINE...right...here we go..."

And then she did it. And it was fine. Less discomfort than putting in an super plus tampax.

That said, sorry that you had such an awful experience Mae - you must have had a really insensitive (bitchy) nurse. Poor you!

JELLY I LOVE YOUR CATS.

Soooo......peed in my ice cream bowl (ROC) to to my CB monitor this morning.....

HIGH FERTILITY: make love today to increase your chance of pregnancy!

Translation: your egg might well be on it's way - try your luck, what've you go to lose!

So it begins! DH has been working late all week (not got in before midnight - city job) so I'm going to have to go for the full seduction to see any action. I'm getting my hi-lights done tonight so I'll have bouffed up newly blonded tresses. Haven't got any fancy underwear at the moment, so I'm just going to wait naked on the bed by candlelight. YEAH!

jellypi3 · 30/04/2015 11:05

i'm gonna throw you a hooyah gouda, whilst i am keeping my gingers crossed for you I also think you will drive yourself mad with this level of symptom spotting. I found it so relaxing not symptom spotting last month, because my mind was on my holiday. The only symptom spotting I did was when the witch started, because it stated as spotting and I wondered if it was anything else.

greatful for the smear info. i'll just have to suck it up and get it done.

jellypi3 · 30/04/2015 11:08

feathered I am going to utter a word of caution here. I used the CBFM for a bit, and I had 3 months of high's but no peaks. And one of the months I had 21 days of high results. Obviously gx for you that it's normal and you get 4 days of high plus 2 days of peak but just be aware that they can give high's for ages :) I gave mine up because i was getting too obsessed with it.

WouldRatherHaveWine · 30/04/2015 11:11

Pahahaha feathered, just don't fall asleep like I totally would and let him find you star fishing and snoring!

5hell I can't believe crafting with cat hair is an actual thing!

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 11:14

Oh god, I'm going to look like a total loser if DH is working late again tonight.

Asleep.
On the bed.
Naked.
Possibly with my mouth open.

Possibly with the tea lights burning down the house

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 11:15

Jelly thanks for the word of warning - I've got the type of personality that can become obsessed with things like this I'm already obsessed so good to have a heads up on the issues you had with the monitor.

WouldRatherHaveWine · 30/04/2015 11:17

feathered do you drool in your sleep?!

WouldRatherHaveWine · 30/04/2015 11:17

or fart

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 11:41

Would I sleep with my mouth open when I'm really tired, which is really attractive.

I don't know whether I fart....

sh*t do I fart????

jellypi3 · 30/04/2015 11:51

i drool when im awake sometimes so im sure i do it asleep

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 12:34

I'm sorry - crafting with cat hair???!

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 12:47

Wedding in TWW.

Bride is organising mini bus pick up and drop off for guests.

Do I

a) not drink and drive to and from venue so I'm not stuck with a load of steaming friends until midnight, thus rousing suspicion?

B) have 1-2 glasses of champagne and drive to and from venue?

C) suck it up and just get the mini bus, dealing being sober amidst merry guests for 12 hours?

Argh.

MyBlackCat · 30/04/2015 12:52

Feathered from someone who has had more tww than should be allowed I would...

D- get the mini bus, have a few drinks relaxing with friends and enjoy yourself Grin

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 12:53

Sorry for abusing the Fred with TWW questions and theoretical situations - I need to get a grip!

WouldRatherHaveWine · 30/04/2015 12:58

Right then, those that are already upduffed, who wants to test these out?!

FeatheredTail · 30/04/2015 12:59

Thanks Cat

nutellawithbananas · 30/04/2015 13:07

Feathered - Def have drinks because there's no reason to reduce your alcohol - any embryo at this stage is self contained and is not pulling nutrients yet from your blood supply

jellypi3 · 30/04/2015 13:10

second what cat said, have a good time. Don't get plastered but don't think you will do any harm at this early stage.
