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.

Wow, I disappear for a few days and there's over 300 new posts!

Have been moving house and internet-less for the last week. Internet still not sorted but I'm hotspotting from my phone for a bit.

NFMV: CD2! The last one was only 74 days long! Still waiting for appointment from fertility clinic, and not telling my GP that I've moved...

Laindons · 13/08/2015 01:45

Thank you ladies, I'm okay.

Mermaid, so sorry about that. Sounds like my OH all over Hmm

Speaking of out of eack periods, I keep getting this light pink (sometimes with tiny pricks of blood), on my loo roll. But I'm not due for another week Confused I hope AF doesn't show her face yet, I've a wedding to attend Saturday.

Mermaid36 · 13/08/2015 07:53

9 days to go until I can legitimately POAS....argh!

lildottie · 13/08/2015 08:24

morning all.

pie and kez day 21 blood test IS NOT DAY 21 AT ALL. it needs to be 7 days before af. eg if you had a 40day cycle day 21 would be before you ovulated. a 25 day cycle the test would be too late and may be when prog dropping if not pg. at my first appt my gp also gave me referral for dh (evem tho he wasn't with me) to do 2x SAs. they should test both of you. if they find issues then u will get referral. if ttc

lildottie · 13/08/2015 08:26

oh and mermaid ltb!

lain implantation?

peanut not sure it was your phone. mn was down for ages yesterday morning.

JustMeAndTheDog · 13/08/2015 08:28

Argh I can't keep up! My busy work schedule is interfering with my MNing. Welcome Wait!

I haven't told anyone that we are trying. I'm a bit weird like that!! If it was up to me I'd probably surprise them with a baby at the end.

Hooya Belly stop the crazy symptom spotting.

JustMeAndTheDog · 13/08/2015 08:32

Oh and NFMV thick and creamy CM. Day 10 of a who knows how long cycle!

Laindons · 13/08/2015 08:33

Anyone else had trouble it's MN at around 8ish today?

JustMe, I'm the same really Grin

Could the bleeding not just be a early sign of AF? I thought implantation too but then rethought since its a bit early for that?

5hell · 13/08/2015 09:15

Dont worry chat im already fairly freaked out Confused ...epu can see me monday, when i think I'll be about 8 weeks, so at least it should be clear-ish whether things are ok or not

sock how's the new house...hope moving hasnt interfered with shagging :)

FeatheredTail · 13/08/2015 09:33

5hell I have everything crossed for you. Really really rooting for you.

Mermaid - but harsh of your DH? I hope you said something! Maybe he was just tired and it came out wrong.

I know I'm not the person to say this, but wth Lil, Fluffy. Get some sticks to PO to out your mind at rest. I don't know how those of you with irregular cycles do it without PO something every day! Reeeeespec'! AF was two days late this month and it thoroughly put me out.

It also shifts my (predicted) most fertile days to a Monday and Tuesday. Er - sex on a Monday/Tuesday? No, no no no.

jellypi3 · 13/08/2015 09:42

fluffy I'd recommend temping. It made my life so easy and stopped me stressing (and helped me identify my short LP issue).

Mermaid36 · 13/08/2015 09:42

hahaha, thanks everyone....I'm hoping that his very dismissive response was due to tiredness, rather than actual opinion...we'll see over the next 4 days I guess (he is back working in europe on monday)

oneyorkshirepud · 13/08/2015 10:28

5hell, so sorry to hear that you are going through the mill. Gx that the EPU can give you some good news on Mon. Big Unmumsnetty hug for you x

Laindons · 13/08/2015 11:25

I know I shouldn't be symptom spotting but I check my cervix everyday and it's still high, soft and open!

Why is it still open 7 days before I'm even due? Arghhh! Unlikely I've conceived this cycle then, despite the spotting yesterday.

kezaroo · 13/08/2015 12:31

Well AF seems to have gone now. So that was probably in total a 3 day AF all together - 4 days on/off. Every other AF I have had has been 4 days solid and 5-6 days in total.

5 everything crossed for you apart from the legs, sorry

jelly what made you start temping? My AF is pretty regular so I presume(d) I ovulate around the same time each month, give or take a few days. How would I identify a short/long LP? I thought AF came 14 days after ovulation - regardless.

Lain I'd love to answer you but being brutally honest I know fuck all about the cervix and it's random positionings Grin

It's all starting to make sense now - all these 12 months I've thought it's so straight forward - ovulate, AF, shag, ovulate, AF, Shag. I've never thought anything more about it other than my body not being ready to carry. Now I'm doubting everything and maybe it is due to a LP defect or something.

lil I've no idea what they are going to say so it's good to hear other people's experiences when it comes to the first appointment. I worked out last night (based on a 25 day cycle as they normally are), take 14 days from that and that's when I'm likely to be around ovulation - that works out next Wednesday/Thursday - I'm at docs on Wednesday.

See what I mean - I know sweet F all when it comes to anything TTC!

Mermaid36 · 13/08/2015 12:33

I will not symptom spot...I will not symptom spot...I will not symptom spot...I will not symptom spot

But, I'm having cramps, which are obviously implantation cramps, yeah? Argh!

kezaroo · 13/08/2015 12:37

Is this the right point to HOOYAH! mermaid ?

never hooyah'd before

MyBlackCat · 13/08/2015 12:46

kez your LP is the time from when you ovulate to when AF arrived. 14days is average but it could be anything from 8/9 to 16/17+. It is generally consistent to each individual, mine is approx 12/13 days. When you ovulate varies so if you have stopped shagging 14 days before AF it may have been too early. I think it was la you stopped too early and only when she used contraband did she find that she ov on day 20 Smile

May be worth temping to confirm ov or as the docs will probably say just shag every 2/3 days from end of AF to the butch arriving again.

Do I qualify as an apprentice oricle with that advice?? Wink

MyBlackCat · 13/08/2015 12:47

Butch = bitch - stupid auto correct on phone Grin

MrsKittenPie · 13/08/2015 12:55

Hi all - sorry I've not had chance to read back much - work really gets in the way of mumsnetting sometimes!
lil thank you for the advice re 21 day test - you are the oracle! I'll go when I think I'm 7 days before af but with this cycle completely confusing me it would just be guesswork- this month was 26 instead of 30 and still too light Confused
So nfmv - fuck knows, bleeding when I wipe but nothing on liner, this is day 5 of that, normally I'm really heavy. I really do think my vagina is doing what the hell it wants and can't be bothered anymore - I give up! Confused oh and bfn so it's not anything good

kezaroo · 13/08/2015 13:20

myblackcat I'm pretty sure you have equal rights with lil at being known as the oracle, with that info! That's teally a great help to be honest because most months we tend to DTD for most of the month then it dies off probably a week before I'm due. Now I'm wondering whether I've missed so many potential eggs over the year, just because we stopped DTD as much in the latter part of my cycles!

lildottie · 13/08/2015 13:30

^^ what black saidGrin

lildottie · 13/08/2015 13:32

my DM has just been telling me I need to get on with next round of ivf and not leave it too long (ud think I was geriatric!). in like yeah maybe after Xmas! Wink

kezaroo · 13/08/2015 13:42

What are you waiting for lil (by that I mean what's the next stage for you)
