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

Ghost jizz/goat jazz - When the amazing foof sucks up all the jizz - achieved when coming at the same time/nearly the same time.

Thank you pud that's really helpful. I just want the normal period to come tbh - I've discounted the IB theory as you say, not wanting to fuel the crazy.

janey15 · 17/05/2015 17:51

Stoat I googled ectopic pregnancy last cycle as I had lower left abdominal pain and it said pain develops later by quite a few weeks. I decided to poas to put my mind at rest. Once you start to worry its hard to get it out of your head! Flowers

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 17:51

I'm driving myself mental. I am just spent a while browsing websites for Moses baskets and cots, and deciding where I will put it in the living room. And wondering why people would pay £250 (!) for a Stoke small cot/ m basket alternative which is essentially a table without the top. Seriously, why? Mental.

However, I am browsing Moses baskets and cots, so I can't really talk.

stoatystoat · 17/05/2015 17:54

It is very hard janey. I just sort of think it would be just my luck to have a mc and ectopic back to back...will try and put it out of my head xx

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 18:21

AARRGH! I WANT A FUCKING BABY! NOOOOOW! Angry

stoatystoat · 17/05/2015 18:29

Flowers honey

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 18:45

Sorry, having a moment. I should be looking after my newborn now, not waiting for a gynae referral. Sad Thanks Stoat xxx

stoatystoat · 17/05/2015 18:58

Don't apologise. I totally hear you. I spend a lot of time thinking about where I should be by rights. A decent bump not a sanitary towel for this ridiculous 'period'. Moments are allowed here. It's totally unfair on you xx

pretzelpieces · 17/05/2015 19:17

honey Cake

jellypi3 · 17/05/2015 19:35

:( honey im so sorry Hun. It must be so hard for you. I can't imagine what you and others who have had a mc have gone through. If staring at baby stuff helps then browse away Hun x

ff is telling me to test tomorrow morning but I'll only be 10 dpo (if I make it)

SockQueen · 17/05/2015 19:41

MiL has been browsing NCT nearly-new sales, nominally for when her other DiL's sister visits from abroad with her children, but I can't help thinking there was a veiled hint in there.

Still faint line on OPK. Wish I could see into my pituitary/ovaries and work out WTF is going on in there. Attempting EOD shagging for now, just in case.

stoatystoat · 17/05/2015 19:46

I am often looking at baby stuff to keep my eye on the prize - if I think about the MC it puts me off TTC again. The Stokke makes me jump DH

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 19:50

You ladies are brilliant. Thank you for your support.

Sock, you do realise that you will always get a line on an OPK? It tests for LH hormone, which is always present. It increases hugely before ovulation, so the line gets darker. Once it goes faint again, the egg has been and gone hopefully been fertilised.

I'm going to go and plant some more potatoes in a moment. Have some seed spuds going spare so may as well. I don't really like potatoes, but maybe fresh out the ground will convert me.

SockQueen · 17/05/2015 20:04

Yes, I know honey - I could draw you a graph of all the hormones in the menstrual cycle! It was completely blank earlier in the week though, so there is a difference, but clearly nowhere near enough to indicate anything significant.

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 20:07

Science teacher? high five Pud & Valancy too.

My darkest OPK ever was about half the control line. Only from temping do I know I ovulate.

jellypi3 · 17/05/2015 20:12

Ahhhhhhhh my tits are killing me!!!!!! Fucking hormones.

SockQueen · 17/05/2015 20:17

Nope, doctor (though not in gynaecology).

I'm not sure temping will really work for me because I get up at such irregular hours - if I'm working a day shift it'll be ~6.15, whereas on a day off it'll be 9/10ish, plus I work nightshifts, so when are you meant to measure on those days?! I think I'd end up with a crazy chart and make myself even more stressed out.

lildottie · 17/05/2015 20:18

honey you are allowed to feel this. its shit. hugs Thanks

jelly yes she showed up about midday. I knew as cramps started. stupid bitch witch messing with me! gx the tits mean something good!

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 17/05/2015 20:28

ga in North America cider is not always alcoholic. It describes what you'd call cloudy apple or hot apple juice and spices too. They serve Strongbow in pubs though and it us actually quite expensive!

I tried the Blood Orange Bulmers today. Too sweet for me, I've got a headache now!

WouldRatherHaveWine · 17/05/2015 20:33

honey big hugs to you Thanks I know how shit it is. You are amazing!

I've got pain on my left, and been feeling generally off today. bleurh

honeysucklejasmine · 17/05/2015 20:43

The Stokke makes me jump DH

Stoat I missed this. LMAO! I like your logic. Hope for future, not misery of past.

gaggiagirl · 17/05/2015 20:49

Ooh thanks sky!

jellypi3 · 17/05/2015 21:13

Ahh sorry lil :( fucking witch likes to piss on our parades. I get agony tits each month (though this month is especially skittle-like) so I think it's just my reaction to increased progesterone.

jellypi3 · 17/05/2015 21:21

Urgh the weekend goes wayyyy to quickly doesn't it?

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 21:27
