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.

auf are you paying for this shiz? Sounds like your dealers are way better than mine! outraged

jellypi3 · 16/07/2015 13:55

chat we are here for you tomorrow Flowers

SockQueen · 16/07/2015 15:17

Yes auf, only recently confirmed though so you might have missed me posting about it! I've been having wildly irregular cycles since coming off the pill a year ago, so 48 days isn't unusual. Waiting for DH to go jizz in a cup next week and then we'll get referred to fertility clinic. Though we're moving house to a new CCG so I'm not sure how that will affect things.

LaLaLaaaa · 16/07/2015 15:31

Hi viroids

Checking in to say hi and offer support and cheering on for BFPs - last thread was an absolute blinder, let's make this one a good'un (well done lil on the title!).

I'm notoriously unlucky at starting threads so I would be worried about starting one for you lil :( as I'd want you to have the best chance possible.

chat I'll be thinking of you tomorrow - I do hope you get answers. Hope you have a nice evening tonight with your friends Wine

Good luck all of you - may the jizz be with you...always.

lildottie · 16/07/2015 15:32

auf wtf! I'm no expert but I think hcg will do fuck all if your FSH/lh in early part of cycle isn't right as egg won't grow/mature. they normally give clomid to induce ovulation. sounds like you're having ivf without the ivf part!
my hcg trigger line disappeared after about 3 days fwiw.

Name: Feather
Age: 31
DC: 0
DH: 1
Pets: sadly none
TTC: conceived first try in May 2015, miscarried at 8 weeks.
Patience: 0

FeatheredTail · 16/07/2015 16:14

Gentle hooyah for Tink

ChatEnOeuf · 16/07/2015 16:50

DH: 1 Feathered? This a change from previously or do you live somewhere interesting? Grin

Lil I may yet get over my fear of Fred-making, my last one on here was pretty lucky but over on the grads it was most definitely not, and I'm pretty sure I miscarried on one of mine here too. Need to get over this superstition thing...

Thanks for the thoughts. Tink - don't worry about the right things to say...just avoid the wrong things. Which are (in no particular order):
You can always have another
God wanted him
Do you think it was something you did?
Was he deformed in some way?

I don't have a clue what I want to hear tomorrow...probably that this was a freak occurrence with no chance of it being foreseen and no risk of a repeat performance. And not genetic, because that would result in me and DH needing more tests which would delay TTC further.

Glitter glued to colourful paper, M&S shopping run done, park played in...countdown to bedtime and Wine

lildottie · 16/07/2015 16:55

shit chat have people actually said these things to you?? I'm gobsmacked that people can be so....
stupid
rude
thoughtless
insensitive
and many more adjectives I'm sure!

feel free to slap them from me on your behalf. the mc statements people come out with are bad enough but .... just wow.

as for thread starting, I won't start any where I feel I may have an actual chance to get pg. and there will be no way I'd start one as a Grad. I do seem to bring luck for others though. you certainly bought me luck.

also interested to know if feathered previously had 6 dhs

Shock Have people actually said those things to you Chat?! Tell us where they live, and we will teach them the error of their ways. Violently. Angry

FeatheredTail · 16/07/2015 17:59

Chat I've had the DH since August 2013 when we got married. I'm really not sure why I felt the need to state that. Sadly, I'm not the Joan Collins type and he is my first (and hopefully only DH). looks wistfully into the middle distance and imagines self as an Elizabeth Taylor type glamour puss, trotting about, breaking hearts left, right and centre

Chat I am echoing Lil....what on earth?? I cannot imagine what people are thinking asking those questions. I doubt they are thinking at all. Good god, how insensitive - how horrible. I am so appalled on your behalf. What utter cretins.

I'm furious for you.

Seriously. D*cks.

And hugs for you.

LaLaLaaaa · 16/07/2015 18:05

Christ almighty chat - people can be cruel. I know they mean well often but honestly that just really does make me upset for you. I remember people said similar things to me after MC 'it wasn't meant to live' and 'at least you know you can get pregnant now'. So upsetting.

I really hope tomorrow brings some comfort chat x

Lil yes I'm 2 days over my due date now. Rumblings but nothing major happening

jellypi3 · 16/07/2015 18:07

lil you missed an adjective:

-Cunts

chat can't believe people are so callous

Tinkfromlovejoy · 16/07/2015 18:09

chat I'm so glad you don't know my mother, mil, or any of their friends. They'd have asked you all of the above with knobs on and then told you all about how it was in their day. Mils "dry birth" story is particularly pleasant! I particularly appreciate their usage of the word "barren", it's lovely that. [anger] Grin will happily come and drop kick any twats you come across into next week if you need me too. Seriously, I have anger issues, I'd enjoy it Smile

CountryGal4 · 16/07/2015 18:09

Chat - cunts- that is all Cake

Tinkfromlovejoy · 16/07/2015 18:09

Angry doh.

pretzelpieces · 16/07/2015 18:11

Lovely fred lil

chat wtf is wrong with people. massive hug

bellybuttonfluffy · 16/07/2015 18:21

Hello everybody! Great fred title!

Chat, people can say the most stupid things at times. I have had a good few moments myself where I personally can't believe the things I have just said, and I'm so mortified for it. I really hope they people who have said those things are regretting it, I would hate to think people could be so thoughtless in that situation.

oneyorkshirepud · 16/07/2015 19:57

Lol at DH:1! Anyone have more than one?? I suppose anything goes in the name of TTC...

gaggiagirl · 16/07/2015 20:35

tink love the idea of you drop kicking twats!
chat lots of love and luck for tomorrow.

justtheonethen · 16/07/2015 20:37

Great title lil!

chat what a bunch of cocks. Hope tomorrow brings you some comfort

I'm so spotty, literally like a teenage girl with grey hair and wrinkles

ChatEnOeuf · 16/07/2015 20:50

Yup, all of them. Some folks just don't know what to say - and I can only blame language in one of those instances... None so bad as my mum telling some randomer in the park that DD was her only grandchild though. I know it wasn't for me to answer and she probably didn't want to open that particular can of worms, but still.

So who's going to brighten my Friday with some POAS action?

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 16/07/2015 20:50

In feathereds defense I jokingly reffered to XH as "my first husband" for the last 2 years before our divorce. I wasn't being mean, it was a in joke about Elizabeth Taylor. Very funny until I wanted d a divorce...

chat I despair a lot at the human race. Mortality brings out the worst in people. There is no shame in getting very drunk in situations like this as long as DD is asleep and has adequate care. I also advocate the smashing of recyclables and the beating of pillows if necessary.

MyBlackCat · 16/07/2015 21:50

chat some people are complete insensitive twats.

Are we doing stats??
