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.

Viroids, just so you know, after our conversation about Christmas puddings last night I have decided that I am going to make a Christmas cake this weekend. To eat. I NEED it. Grin

Ain626 · 04/06/2015 20:46

All this talk of Christmas... I bought my first Christmas presents today... Confused

honeysucklejasmine · 04/06/2015 20:50

Fuuuuuuuck! Ordered some custom made blinds. Lovely. 10cm too short.

Shit.

pretzelpieces · 04/06/2015 20:50

ain! Shock wash your mouth out saying such things! Wink

honeysucklejasmine · 04/06/2015 20:51

And by short... I mean not wide enough.

pretzelpieces · 04/06/2015 20:56

Oh no honey did they do it wrong or were the measurements out? How annoying.

Ain626 · 04/06/2015 21:03

pretzel I know!!! It's ridiculous.

honey that's annoying. Was it the companys fault?

SockQueen · 04/06/2015 21:08

Warning - brain dump

I had my US today. Sonographer told me my ovaries do look polycystic, the left one worse than the right. Coupled with my high testosterone and irregular cycle, I think this means I have PCOS, though I have to see my GP next week to actually confirm this. Balls.

Obviously this has implications for fertility - we've only been trying for 8 months, but this means it's likely to take longer, and may need intervention. I am going to work harder on losing weight apart from the comfort-eating binge I had today after the scan as my BMI is currently 33.5 and I know if I get it down that will help, but this all takes time and hard work and it's so hard to keep my motivation up.

Then there's all these ridiculous old little niggles that are cropping up and upsetting me. I used to run a "contraception advice thread" on a student forum I was a moderator for, and was really blasé about how it's easy not to get pregnant if you do things right - well of course it fucking is if you're not releasing any sodding eggs! When I was at school, I used to get mocked a lot for "looking like a bloke" because I was tall and a bit ugly - maybe this is the reason why I look(ed) a bit masculine and am shite at a lot of girly stuff. I know that doesn't necessarily make proper sense, but I'm not being totally logical right now!

I know lots of you have been trying for longer and gone through more trials and tribulations than me, so sorry if this is a minor-ish whinge, but I want to get it out somewhere. Sad

WouldRatherHaveWine · 04/06/2015 21:08

honey I sincerely hope it was their fault!

I don't understand why I got all the Grin....Blush

chat I'm glad they are being supportive

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:13

sock what a crappy day you've had. Try and look on the bright side that at least you know what is happening and can take steps to get that bfp. Fwiw I'm sure you're gorgeous Flowers

Christmas presents? I start in September and get mocked!

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:16

Oh honey how annoying!

bellybuttonfluffy · 04/06/2015 21:17

Sock, sorry to hear about your disappointing news. I don't know much about PCOS to I am unable to offer any helpful advice or anything. Flowers

Seen a thread about this. A survey to get some ovulation tests from free. I filled out the survey, but might be a bit more hassle than it's worth. Might suit someone on here.

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:19

fluffy I've looked at that before but you have to store your wee in the fridge and post off! Not sure it's worth it tbh!

honeysucklejasmine · 04/06/2015 21:23

Unfortunately it's completely my fault. Argh!

Sock, as a fellow gynae problems JSer, I grateful that we have a silver lining... We know what's wrong. We don't have to go through years and years of "unexplained infertility". We have consultants who will try things for us, and if it comes to it, we don't have to wait as long for IVF. Yes, its not a platinum cloud like "normal" people, but it could be worse. However, diagnosis is shir, so feel free to feel miserable for a while, no one will judge you. Flowers

bellybuttonfluffy · 04/06/2015 21:26

Hmm certainly don't fancy stockpiling loads of wee!! I think I missed reading that bit!

CountryGal4 · 04/06/2015 21:27

sock sorry if being nosy but how did you end up with an us if Ttc 8 months?

pretzelpieces · 04/06/2015 21:27

Unmumsnetty hugs, sock, I hope having the extra information proves helpful though.

wine it was when you sneezed out the ghost jizz!

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:34

Might take some explaining if you had friends over! Although I'm sort of tempted, I love a freebie and I love peeing on sticks so is prob right up my street!

bellybuttonfluffy · 04/06/2015 21:35

Seems a lot of hassle for only one month of free stuff. And if your lucky enough to get upduffed you have to still take pee samples..? Um.. why?

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:35

country think you're right, I have apologised profusely but she's being a cow. I've never had cramps like this before. Feels like when you have a horrible stomach bug or something. Grim

bellybuttonfluffy · 04/06/2015 21:39

Also.. what is the point of this?

www.boots.com/en/Clearblue-Advanced-Fertility-Monitor-Touch-Screen-Monitor_1468290/

£96 for something which does the same thing as a free fertility app, and tells you what an ovulation test and pregnancy test say? And that's not including the £27 for the refills?!

MyBlackCat · 04/06/2015 21:44

belly I totally haven't got one of those Wink

justtheonethen · 04/06/2015 21:47

belly I keep thinking about getting one of those but what stops me is what you just said. What is different?

CountryGal4 · 04/06/2015 21:47

just not to be too personal but have you have pre af or early pg arse rain yet?
