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.

feathered hooyah! stop looking at due date calculator's. It'll only make it hurt more :(

My TTC experience has opened my eyes to the pain social media can cause. I've told DP i won't be putting anything on FB at all because of the number of it times it got to me. Everyone I want to know I will tell, and everyone else I am sure will find out because people are gossips. We are closely approaching the 12 weeks when people announce it but I just couldn't face upsetting others with a FB announcement.

Sorry long post over! Hope you viroids are all ok!

kezaroo · 14/07/2015 16:38

waves at jelly

lildottie · 14/07/2015 16:40

at conception you are 2wks pg because they date pg from LMP, so on a "perfect" 18day cycle with 14day LP conception is 2weeks after LMP.

27/3 here. unlikely. may/June for ivf. more likely!

nfmv: for just for fun jizz! dhs birthday. obviously decided it should be his bday present!

OP posts:
FeatheredTail · 14/07/2015 16:53

Love it Lil ! Great birthday present!

just for fun

Can't help it Jelly - it's the only way I can keep my spirit up. I'm very goal orientated in every part of my life. Even if the goal posts move or are non existent.

If I couldn't think about possible outcomes (baby) and planning how to achieve outcomes (shagging) and project planning long term (ensuring diet health, planning financially for maternity leave etc) and launch date (EDD) then I'd go mad! I realise I sound mad

It's more a personality thing than a 'must have baby by April' thing.

Also I just love playing with the calculator and murmering things like ah, a May baby you say...taurus....hmmm. Or a July baby. Yes, I'd like to not go into work during the Summer months.....

FeatheredTail · 14/07/2015 17:07

Sad just realised I would have been 12 weeks now.

wind out of sails

SockQueen · 14/07/2015 17:20

We timed starting TTC so that our child wouldn't be the youngest in the school year (though I'm a June baby and have not suffered as a result). Then I persuaded DH to try a bit earlier and he agreed to "risk" it. Now I really couldn't care less when it's born, if I just had the chance to have one.

My parents were visiting over the weekend and told me that yet another of their friends' children, who I was at primary school with, is pregnant. Oh, and "poor X (another friend's daughter) is having fertility investigations." Mum knows we're trying, but not how long for. And now I'm not sure if I should tell them anything more because I do NOT want her chatting about it with her pals.

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 14/07/2015 17:22

Hugs feathered

kezaroo · 14/07/2015 17:36

My DH wanted ours to be the oldest too , sock but now he's not bothered.

kezaroo · 14/07/2015 17:37

Aww feather hugs to you Hun Sad

Tinkfromlovejoy · 14/07/2015 17:41

I really admire you viroids that are so organised and motivated. Tbh I'm struggling quite a lot at the moment. I feel like infertility has stripped the joy out of my life. Sad I know I'm really lucky in that I've never experienced half of the pain that some of you have been through and are going through so it feels selfish even to be writing this but not being able to conceive is so hard for me at the moment.

I have a lovely life; I love my husband and home and have a nice job. I just can't seem to find any appreciation for it all. Just had a chat with dh on the phone and I told him it feels like I'm living someone else's life by mistake. My life was supposed to be with children, busy and probably in a smaller house struggling financially. This is what I expected and wanted and I have a great life without the extra hassles kids bring but I don't appreciate it at all because its not what I wanted.

I just cant get motivated to get through the day to day sometimes. I have plenty of time but waste it reading mn and about conception when id probably feel much better if I actually did some work or the ironing! Its complete first world problems and I really know this. But it all feels a bit empty/pointless without having babies. Sad

ok, hopefully ill feel better by having written that down, sorry, as you were...

FeatheredTail · 14/07/2015 17:42

Sock - ha, yes the summer baby thing also crossed my mind.

It really bugs me when people do the whole sharp intake of breath "....ohhh, it will be a summer baby. hmmm. do you think they did that on purpose??" Seriously. It gets me every time.

Any every time I say - for anyone who's interested, I worked with some health economists/education specialists/general economists/poverty experts a few years ago and the biggest influences on outcomes for children are - and always have been...

  1. level of education of parents
  2. income level for household
  3. how often they are read to
  4. maternal health

BOOM. All these 'neutralise' the so-called summer baby effect (being slowest learner in the class etc).

I appreciate it's not nice in reception when the August babies seem so much younger developmentally, but overall, it's highly unlikely to impact on their outcomes throughout education.

And if the stats aren't good enough, here are some anecdotes for august babies... DH city solicitor, best friend - city solicitor, close friend - GP, other very close friend - consultant hematologist, old room mate - financial services analyst....the list could go on.

Vent over

Yeah - I just want a baby too!

MyBlackCat · 14/07/2015 17:52

I'm back viroids - been on a lovely holiday for 10 days, unfortunately AF spoilt it somewhat halfway through, didn't even get upset, I have lost all motivation for this ttc shit now, stopped putting data in apps, no pissy sticks in sight, think the frers I bought months back will be out of date now Angry I'm perfect for this thread except for lack of shagging Shock

It seems like there has been a gazillion bfps whilst I've been away, congratulations to you all - is anyone left???

Thanks To all those having a shit time, I feel your pain. God knows what cycle I'm on now, must be hitting the 20's - DH has no excuse this month he is on school holidays so can't use the tiredness excuse - to be fair to him we did have some just for fun shags on holiday shame it wasn't my fertile week

Happy Shagging all.....

Tinkfromlovejoy · 14/07/2015 18:07

Oh, and btw sock ime mums tend to make it all about them and lament their lack of grandchildren with their friends. Then invariably you meet said friends in the street and they chastise you for not giving dm their much longed for gc's. Angry

black welcome back. Sorry about the witch. Hopefully a few more dreams will come true for us this cycle.

ChatEnOeuf · 14/07/2015 18:21

Welcome back, Black, hope you enjoyed the holiday.

DD was an autumn baby (and came a little early) - we got lucky and conceived in the third cycle off the pill. I was secretly pleased at the time she'd be old in her school year. Tiny (still feels weird referring to him as DS...) was a true JS boy, following two MCs when I was past caring when the due date would be, but again I was secretly pleased he was due before the end of the school year. If I were to have conceived this month sometime, it'd be due March/April...I'd take that. Hell, I'd take anything right now. I totally understand the need for planning.

Feathered these milestones are hard Flowers

I'm with you, Tink. TTC and not getting a baby completely sucks. Group hug. May even open some wine, seeing as I'm not conceiving anything this week...

CountryGal4 · 14/07/2015 18:24

Dear lord due date calculators! The crazies have Definately broken out and looks to be contagious !!

bellybuttonfluffy · 14/07/2015 18:26

Flowers for all us viroids having a tough time at the moment. Sad hope mr stork has a bumper backlog supply of babies arriving pretty soon!

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 14/07/2015 18:35

Having a really shit day for non-ttc reasons. Have made spaghetti and meatballs and plan to eat my way into a carb coma. Just in the bath now waiting for DP to CME home to tell me extent of bad news... Flowers and Wine all round.

SockQueen · 14/07/2015 19:04

Tink that's blimming awful, how rude of your mum's friends! I hope my mum wouldn't be so tactless, but fortunately I live far enough away that I'm unlikely to bump into any of her friends and get chastised. I know she had at least two MCs between me and DSis, so hopefully she'll be understanding. Cake and hugs for you, Chat (I can't even begin to imagine your situation), Feathered and anyone else struggling.

I've decided to spend the evening doing something positive, so I have pinged off half a dozen e-mails to various companies enquiring about options for our upcoming trip to Brazil, and then I'm going to crack out my Portuguese DVD which I got for my birthday a month ago and haven't started yet!

justtheonethen · 14/07/2015 19:21

Viroids, much love to you all, instead of wise words I'll send wine and a rather decent boullibase I've just made!

My EOD from today plan has already gone tits up as dp had to go away for work for longer than expected. Not back til Friday Sad
Had a rather disconcerting dollop of ewcm today at cd6 Confused

MyBlackCat · 14/07/2015 19:24

I do have some sympathy for my mum in the ttc process, she knows about the mc and the struggles we have had since but she also knows that we don't want the world to know. I know she gets questions from her friends about the lack of GC which she has to deal with. My brother is also gay so the pressure and focus is really on us.

MIL on the other hand has no idea about out struggles. Sil has two kids and I constantly see pictures on Facebook about sharing if you have amazing grandchildren etc etc which MIL does. Got to admit that does hurt a bit Angry

CountryGal4 · 14/07/2015 19:30

just you fancy cow!

You could get days of ewcm before icing woman. You know this. Drink all the wine and try to relax!

justtheonethen · 14/07/2015 20:03

Not much I can do about it so I'll just enjoy the slippery fanjo and relax drink wine

CountryGal4 · 14/07/2015 20:08

I really would heart a glass of wine! Enjoy? Filthy minx

justtheonethen · 14/07/2015 20:19

I would really heart a baby but wine will do in the meantime Grin
Didn't actually mean enjoy but yes I'll take filthy minx Wink

CountryGal4 · 14/07/2015 21:02
