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 known 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.

Welcome Illiria and MrsG

Yes, feel free to add your stats to the spreadsheet.

pretzel another BFN today. Giving myself a hooyah and will not test again until at least Sunday. But keep waking up feeling slightly nauseous which is driving me crazy. Could just be AF lurking around the corner. When if AF shows up I will be grateful if it's anytime in the next week or so as will be within a reasonable amount of time for a cycle. If all else fails I have my gynea appointment booked in and coming up...

Talking of which, I want to lose weight again before. I lost like 20lbs and now am stuck again. Haven't lost anything in over a month, just been coasting along at the same weight. I need to start being stricter again on the low carbing. And making more of an effort to get my arse down the gym. (I went yesterday, woop, but today am stuck home waiting for my new dishwasher to arrive! Planning on lots of jobs around the house/garden though to keep me moving.)

Fivemonkeysjumpingonthebed · 27/05/2015 09:27

Morning all. Before saying anything, I saw your awful news and my heart goes out to your friend. Life can be so cruel...

And so asking awkwardly after, could your thread cope with another newbie? I'm TTC and failing. Opk user, pisser on sticks (BFN 8dpo this morning, don't ask me why) but I can be quite good at giving out virtual cake and flowers.

jellypi3 · 27/05/2015 09:39

fivemonkeys of course the more the merrier please join :)

Hobbit19 · 27/05/2015 09:42

Ha monkey, you sound like you will fit right in! Welcome to our humble Fred. And here is your first hooya for POAS at 8dpo! Step away from the pissy sticks!!! Grin

Ain if you are plateuing on the diet front then don't restrict your calorie intake further, you will slow down your metabolism and end up yoyoing and hungry! Exercise is your friend here. Is there any exercise that you 'like' to do?

LaLaLaaaa · 27/05/2015 09:48

Fivemonkeys welcome and hooyah for pissing too early! Grin

Ain626 · 27/05/2015 09:59

pud I think it's more that I've been slipping back into old habits if I'm honest. For example, instead of making healthy lunches and taking them to work I've been nipping down to the bakery in my lunch break, things like that. I think I need to eat smarter again.

Welcome FiveMonkeys Cake

autonomousplum · 27/05/2015 10:00

Hallo newbies!
Stop pissing on sticks. Immediately. Or I will requisition them all and twinkle my hormones all over them as I have none at home myself

Fivemonkeysjumpingonthebed · 27/05/2015 10:02

Haha a well deserved hooyah on my first post, cheers. Have mild cramps today so assuming AF is imminent anyway. Ho hum. Off to the zoo today with DC to take my mind off it. Zoo over half term is always a relaxing trip right?

5hell · 27/05/2015 10:04

welcome mrs illaria & five (hooyah!) we cant promise you wont get dissillusioned with us too, but we'll do our best to help keep you entertained. we must be honest and say up front that JSing is more of an aspiration than a reality for most ;) digs out saliva microscope to check for ov this cycle but we all try to JS sometimes.

stoat hope the dr is kind - be firm, clear and calm - make list before you go if you think it will help focus your thoughts. gx

honey get you gushing ewcm!! wel jel!

EED thistle ? each and every day?

picklethistle · 27/05/2015 10:16

Haha fat fingers this morning hungover to hell naughty Tuesday night drinking EOD shagging, don't think fanjo can manage every day!

Hi five Smile friendly hooya!

ThursdayLast · 27/05/2015 10:25

Hi newbies!

Question for all. How long would you expect to have the ewcm? This ovulation predicting stuff is hard.

Tell you another thing for what - I didn't realise how much difference the pill made to my skin...until I stopped taking it. Wah. Spotty like a teen again Sad

pretzelpieces · 27/05/2015 10:44

Welcome illiria, ginger and monkey!

We're all totally sane here and will keep your feet firmly on the ground Wink

ain that sounds maddening, I know because I'm in the same state!

News from my vagina is another bfn. Last cycle was 24 days, this one will be 31 days minimum and I've been cramping since Saturday and feeling sick for the last week.

FF said AF was due on Sunday just gone.

picklethistle · 27/05/2015 10:54

thursday I get the skin thing, I had the same skin problem after coming off the pill it was awful. Also am totally useless at ovulation spotting.

pretzel AF is sneaky! She's done that to me twice now. GX it's not the witch. Pee again Friday?

Ain626 · 27/05/2015 10:55

pretzel it's so frustrating isn't it!

Ha, I just checked the Kindle Daily Deal and this book is on there... Trying: Love, Loose Pants, and the Quest for a Baby Haven't read it, but maybe some of you are interested?

Ain626 · 27/05/2015 10:58

In other news I have my new dishwasher! All installed and currently washing it's first bunch of stuff. The delivery dude called me to tell me he'd be here in an hour... Just after I put my sports bra in the washing machine! So still no gym visit for me (possibly tonight if it dries, else it'll have to be tomorrow). I had planned to be home all day today though so plenty to do around the house!

5hell · 27/05/2015 11:09

ain, pretz is AF late for both of you?!? how are your cycles usually?
keeping gx for you both!

thurs have you been off pill long? I'm sure it'll settle down in time, keep drinking lots of H2O, taking makeup off beofre bed and all that jazz

news from my vagina - AF is behaving herself fairly well thankfully, bit more crampy thank normal, but I had been owrried that first post-mc AF might be horrendous...small mercies i guess

honeysucklejasmine · 27/05/2015 12:24

Welcome monkey! Have fun at the zoo, I'm sure it will be really quiet!

Half way there with the planting out. DH took the garage key to work so I will have to enlist his help this evening as punishment. Cats have had a great time watching me. And "helping".

Got a pain survey through from consultant so must have had my referral. Will fill in later, its always a bit depressing. Also need to pop to pharmacy for my drugs so will post at same time. In our Gold postbox, because we are the home of an Olympic champion!

Lunch now, and left over cakes. Yum.

MyBlackCat · 27/05/2015 12:56

Welcome to the newcomers Grin

News from my vagina.... I have all of the ewcm and will be shagging laterGrinWinkGrin

ThursdayLast · 27/05/2015 13:49

thanks picklethistle and 5hell. It's a only a silly little annoying thing in the grand scheme of all the things.

Well, I have no idea if I'm still fertile (cycles tell me I am but I'm not sure I trust it) but DS has gone to his DGMs for the afternoon so perhaps we'll do a shag to be on the safe side.

Go go go BlackCat

SockQueen · 27/05/2015 14:23

Hello new people!

So, shall I POAS this month or not? I think it's a fairly futile exercise as I've no idea if I iced, and if I did we almost certainly didn't shag near the relevant point, but it'll be 4 weeks tomorrow and I just sort of feel like I ought to? Strongly suspect I'm in for another mega-cycle, but you never know for sure...

picklethistle · 27/05/2015 14:33

To pee or not to pee that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slips and slidings of outrageous fanjos...

CarrotPuff · 27/05/2015 14:38

Welcome monkeys!

Ain well done on your weight loss, gl with the rest! (Do you have much to lose if you don't mind me asking?)

Thursday I think (but I'm very far from sure) 5 days of pant snot is normal (average? usual?), but I only get about 2-3 days (it was 1.5 days this month Hmm)

Go Cat!

Good things are moving with your consultant honey, hope they can sort something out!

Sock gx! Are your cycles regular (apart from that super long one?)

CarrotPuff · 27/05/2015 14:39

Ahaha pickle I vote for that to be our next Fred title! Grin

autonomousplum · 27/05/2015 14:41

A womb! A womb! My kingdom for a fertile womb!

picklethistle · 27/05/2015 14:42

Teehee do you think it would upset many people? AIBU to think you should never mock the Bard?!
