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.

fluffy that's my problem - totally paranoid that if I don't drink people will think I am upduffed, so I almost go out of way to prove otherwise Shock but enough is enough, I don't drink often but when I do I am getting very drunk, it's the two day hangovers that really kill me! WineWineWineWineWine

bellybuttonfluffy · 20/07/2015 20:11

The drinking is the fun part, the hangovers are very much not! I feel half my weekend is spent being miserable. It's just not worth it!

lildottie · 20/07/2015 20:15

alcohol has a big impact on fertility if you drink regularly so can't hurt to curb it black. I went cold turkey when we started ttc for about 12m. I think I started having the odd glass bottle here and there since dhs sperm results. but had my last glass last night. none until after I give birth the ivf for me now. have done OK on diet today but the Hagen das is calling my name, seriously I can hear it calling from the freezer lil, lil, come and eat me lil, I need to be eaten!

oneyorkshirepud · 20/07/2015 20:18

Lil, leave the icecream alone! In fact, take it out of the freezer, pour fairy liquid on it and put it in the bin! (7lb before IVF!!) Grin

honeysucklejasmine · 20/07/2015 20:20

Agree with pud. Destroy it. Kil it with fire.

5hell · 20/07/2015 20:27

ahh fluffybagel that makes sense...i thought i recognised the tone and you fitted right in (obv!) so i assumed i'd missed bagel's intro or she was an old-timer Smile

shit day at work Angry
think AF is on her bitching way Angry
so went to body combat and mouthed 'fucking bitch' as I slammed an imaginary head into my knee...cathartic
[tired face]

lil bin the HD ...you will feel soooo good for doing it yes I acknowledge it's wasteful

MyBlackCat · 20/07/2015 20:54

I'll take the ice cream lil Grin whilst I'm at it if anyone has any wine that needs drinking I'm your gal - actually scrap that I forgot I was on the wagon Wink

lildottie · 20/07/2015 21:21

the ice cream is still in the freezer. I've had 1048 calories today, protein 24% (goal 25%min) carbs 42% (goal 40% Max) so I'm pretty happy with that. also have drunk 1.68l of water/decaff tea today (though includes one can sugar free fizz). off to get myself another mug of hot water to head to the 2l mark. have taken my wine out fridge so I won't be tempted to drink it (warm rosé is not nice). just 2hrs to stay good before bed!!

Discofairypants · 20/07/2015 21:21

Haha just runaway jizz! Hopefully some little stragglers stayed behind for us!

blackcat you can have my wine ... I've been having a glass a night over the weekend, but figured as DH is away with work now ... I best remain compus mentus in case I need to make an emergency getaway with dd in the middle of the night. Not that I'm dramatic. Much.

I second binning the ice Cream! Once it's gone it's gone ... Else I'd eat the entire pot in one sitting Grin

I've been doing YouTube excercise classes regimes for the last 2 weeks and a dress that was too tight for me, now fits yay! I can't walk as my thighs are like jelly, but the dress fits goddamit!

Discofairypants · 20/07/2015 21:22

lil that sounds like a near perfect day, go you! I find once I get into a routine, it's a little bit easier :)

bellybuttonfluffy · 20/07/2015 21:51

Go Lil!

Second what Disco says about getting into a routine. When I did slimming world I had to stick to 100%, if I slipped and let myself have a little treat, I would then go consume an entire fridgefull of rubbish. I did great when not allowing myself any treats though, so just stick with what you're doing if you are anything like me Grin

MrsTattoo · 20/07/2015 21:58

well done lil Grin
wish I could be that healthy, I just drank a mars milkshake and ate a galaxy ripple Blush I have regrets!

picklethistle · 20/07/2015 22:05

Yay lil show that HD who's boss!

Which you tube classes have you been doing disco? I need motivation to work out.

I'm on my way home, have demanded DH is awake for a jizz collection!

lildottie · 20/07/2015 22:05

thanks guys. once I get strict with myself I'll be fine but its getting that mentality of being strict with it that's tough. I have a ticking clock now I've started bcp though so hopefully that will help!

OP posts:
ChatEnOeuf · 20/07/2015 22:06

Sounds like a successful day, Lil. I have to allow myself a treat here or there otherwise I'd resent the diet and be miserable. I force exercise on myself if I've treated in the day though, it has to be worth the effort...

Tomorrow I'm off for a swim - hoping to crack 2k in the hour...there's a packet of chocolate buttons if I can Grin

lildottie · 20/07/2015 22:55

if I treat myself I fall spectacularly off the wagon chat. a treat is meringue with Greek yoghurt and fruit - the yoghurt balances my protein back and the fruit gives me one if my 5 a day, but I get the sugar hit from the meringue.

I am feeling more positive again today. but I think dh is struggling. I don't really know what to say to help him feel better about doing ivf again. I'm not sure if its the money or that we didn't get pg naturally before the ivf that is irking him more.

OP posts:
ColdFeetWarmHeart · 20/07/2015 23:39

way to go lil on todays eating diet!!!

I need to crack on with this myself. I think I need to be super strict Monday-Friday (shouldn't be too hard during the week, as I am generally quite busy). I think I need to factor in allowances for the weekend / some weekends. Hhmmmm.....I might need to do with you do chat and allow myself treats only if I complete some exercise ^off to write out a weekly food and exercise plan^

Will DH open up to you about IVF fears lil?

5hell · 21/07/2015 07:38

2k chat ?! Are u a fish in disguise?!

Good luck for another healthy day lil

Nfmv: had some spotting yesterday so think it'll soon be cd1 :(

ChatEnOeuf · 21/07/2015 07:45

Makes sense to ban them then Lil - good you know how to manage yourself :)

5hell sorry if it is AF Flowers

I may be a fish - it's the only proper exercise I can do, so I'm well practiced! Managed 1.8k last week so hoping to push that up this week.

Tinkfromlovejoy · 21/07/2015 08:03

Morning viroids, it's my birthday so I will have all the treats for you all today. Selfless aren't I? Wink

I'm also on the diet wagon, new meds are helping as they ought but I'm trying to give them a helping hand with shifting these extra pounds. Ran 4 miles last night in preparation for a meal out tonight so am a bit smug! Haven't had a poo since Friday though so won't be weighing myself this week until i have a major evacuation! Smile

MyBlackCat · 21/07/2015 08:05

Happy birthday tink

ThursdayLast · 21/07/2015 08:10

Happy Birthday Tink! SmileWineCake

lildottie · 21/07/2015 08:11

happy birthday tink Cake have a good one, and a lovely meal out.

cold we are very open fortunately so have talked alot about our childlessness, the ivf and our options if this round doesn't work. I'm very lucky that I have such a strong relationship and that our struggle has brought us closer in many respects rather than come between us. he just seems to be a bit "don't talk to me about babies" since AF came so I'm giving him some space.

5hell thanks. I'm thinking I should probably go shopping today as the cupboards are getting pretty empty which may have me reaching for that HD!

chat wow! I thought my half mile in 3ims was good, which Google tells me is about 0.8k!! I need to stay in the pool longer don't I!
