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.

Morning! Managed to ravage DH this morning before his flight to Stockholm....that's it then until the weekend when he's back.... will have to hope my sex drive dies down a bit whilst he's not here....Shock

Monday is same old, same old for me....my "work husband" did leave me chocolate on my desk this morning becuase he knows how grumpy I am on a monday!

ChatEnOeuf · 10/08/2015 11:45

Tell me more of this work husband, Mermaid. I need someone to bring me chocolate on a Monday! Good ravaging too. Wins all around.

Sort of Jelly, in that the witch made her postpartum return the day after my doc said we could start again. Would have been pretty miraculous to have conceived in the week between lochia stopping and the red tide starting.

Mermaid36 · 10/08/2015 12:08

Chat - awww, my WH is a lovely guy at work who I'm dreadfully horrible to, you know, like a real husband. We have a lot of banter, and he goes and gets drinks from the machine for me (and chocolate) and we have lunch together and bitch about everyone else. I spend loads of time with him during the week obvs, so we have clicked. I even went on a 'date' with him last week - we went off to a gig that neither of our actual OH's wanted to go to! Was very funny, cos we got mistaken for an actual couple whilst we were out, and we were both like "Ewww, no!! S/He's not my OH!"

bellybuttonfluffy · 10/08/2015 12:29

Welcome Fruit!

I also have a 'work husband' and would greatly recommend it! Mines happens to be a lovely gay guy who I get on great with! We give each other bottles of zoflora and reeces peanut butter cups and pieces! We regularly socialise outside of work too. He came wedding dress shopping with me (just me and him) and he was mistaken for my groom-to-be!

Ive got antibiotics from the doc so hopefully I'll be right as rain shortly. I actually sat in the waiting room feeling 100x better than I had been feeling. Actually contemplated leaving as I thought I would be accused of wasting an appointment! As soon as I got to the pharmacy though I was back to feeling my crappy self, think the paracetamol was maybe wearing off!

Af is going to make her appearance! Lucky day69! I got a feeling that this will be a bad one. Less like the witch and more like the demon from the darkest, deepest shadows of hell. Can anyone enlighten me? I was certain my opk was the most glorious positive ever, but surely not if AF arrives today? OPK was exactly one week ago.

Peenut2000 · 10/08/2015 12:34

Hello, Shaggers.

Love the initial post, it made me weep a bit with laughter. I only wish I'd read your sound advice before an embarrassing trip to Sainsbury's to purchase ovulation sticks.

Why, o why, are pregnancy tests and ovulation sticks in plastic security boxes, like little lunch boxes? Are they really being nicked left right and centre? Can I buy them off a man down the pub instead of from Sainsburys?

Star Sainsburys Star–I have three tips for you:

  1. if you must insist on encasing such products in lunchboxes, please give your staff the means to open them without struggling at the checkout for five minutes while rotating the box to give those in the queue a good look at my purchase from every angle.
  1. Would also be nice to train staff to discreetly place the lunchbox of pregnancy dreams behind the till should they need walk off to find somebody who can work the complicated lunchbox opener. Not on the checkout counter. I don't mind discussing the attempts to conceive with friends, maybe not with the guy in a tracksuit who asked "What are they for? Are you trying to get pregnant?"
  1. The seventeen year old shelf stacker who finally set my ovulation sticks free was very efficient and discreet. He was worldly wise beyond his years. He'd be an excellent choice to share his wisdom in a nationwide CPD training programme. Maybe some of the other people in the queue could help him? They saw how it worked too. Hey, I think I can help too.
bellybuttonfluffy · 10/08/2015 12:49

Ahh Peenut, your mistakes make me laugh! I choose the cheap and discreet way of ordering my cuntraband off ebay! 30 OPKs for £3 odd! You can't go wrong. Why spend a fortune on something you're planning to pee on?

pretzelpieces · 10/08/2015 12:58

Hi fruit, welcome and sorry to hear about the mmc.

Welcome peenut get yerself some cheapies from Amazon! Grin

Get well soon fluffy Brew

TriJo · 10/08/2015 13:13

Seconding Pretzel's recommendation there Peenut - nice discreet packaging and you'll get loads for very cheap. I seem to remember paying about £6 for around 20.

jellypi3 · 10/08/2015 13:18

I still remember thinking i'd be clever and order my FRER's with my online tesco shop, only to have the delivery driver say to me "Oh you had one substitution, your pregnancy test has been changed for a digital one, but they are better so that's good!". I just nodded in shock and took the bag off of him, and before he left he said "good luck" with a wink.......

I feel your pain!

Peenut2000 · 10/08/2015 13:48

Wise words pretzelpieces, TriJo and Jellypi3. I won't make the same mistake twice, 'internet sticks it is. Maybe I'll use the seven quid Posh Sticks from Sainsburys for special wees? Or maybe I might follow advice and ditch them!

HA ha jellypi3, I wonder if the Tesco delivery driver nervously rehearsed his explanation for the switch in the van on the way to you. He probably told himself, whatever you do, don't say 'good luck' or wink.

I bet he was cringing all the way back to Tescos. Wink

PS: I have never posted before so not sure how I tag your usernames? Duh. I'll figure it out.

jellypi3 · 10/08/2015 13:56

you just type the persons name :) (with no spaces)

Peenut2000 · 10/08/2015 14:14

Ah, excellent! Thanks jellypi3!

honeysucklejasmine · 10/08/2015 14:18

Welcome peenut! You did make me laugh! I agree, you need "One Step Ovulation Tests" from Amazon. Cheap as chips, no sales people. Just some pickers in a giant warehouse

Jelly I still think you should have said "actually CB are less sensitive so not as good for my early pissing naughtiness" ... Or, you know, something similar.

jellypi3 · 10/08/2015 14:28

i was too mortified honey! i mean it did come in handy when i got my bfp and wanted to get the digi to tell me it was real but still, red face galore!

Laindons · 10/08/2015 14:29

Anyone else close got 9ish days to go until pregnancy test? Eeeek :D

oneyorkshirepud · 10/08/2015 14:42

Welcome fruit and peenut! I really want to shorten peenut to pee but that may be because I think about peeing constantly haha recruitment drive is going well ladies, must be all the talk of erotic dreams!

Peenut2000 · 10/08/2015 15:12

You can call me pee if you like oneyorkshirepud I think peeing is on my mind at the moment, what with the Sainsburys incident!

Laindons hold in there ... not long now. Just left the stage in my cycle where I went a bit insane and actually convinced myself the start of my ERTD was just a symptom of early pregnancy. I've had a stern word with myself.

Rather inconveniently I think my next ovulation moment coincides with a trip to stay at my Mum's. ARGH!

jellypi3 · 10/08/2015 15:34

lain not sure if you have been given your first hooyah yet, but stop focusing on P-Day!

fruitlovingmonkey · 10/08/2015 15:48

Lain I also have 9 days to go until I test according to Ovia.
Thanks for the laughs peenut! I would say buy them online but that's not much better. Amazon loves to hit me with all sorts of invitations to join pregnancy clubs and enter my baby's due date (I don't have one yet, fuckwits) when I buy that stuff. A lot less public but still annoying!

lildottie · 10/08/2015 16:59

more like 9weeks here Sad

hooyas all round for contemplating early peeing!

Laindons · 10/08/2015 17:08

Sorry girls and omg hi fruit, Ovia says the same to me Grin

Wasn't really concentrating on testing day really, it's just it was the whole 10 + 9 thing (because today is the 10th and I test on the 19th)

ChatEnOeuf · 10/08/2015 17:08

Honey Grin

Welcome, Pee. Second the Amazon piss-sticks deals. Some of them even deliver overseas.

I'm not peeing until I get home next week symptoms. Counting down the days leads to madness I tell you.

fruitlovingmonkey · 10/08/2015 17:35

I'm planning on distracting myself with a bouncy bonus round of shagging, since I was short changed last week. Way more fun than collecting pissticks. Just have to get DH onboard, I have a higher sex drive than him.
Hope you're having a great holiday Chat

jellypi3 · 10/08/2015 17:46

Are you still in the UK chat?

MyBlackCat · 10/08/2015 18:50

Welcome everyone totally not forgotten names

I actually miss pissing on things Shock no opks here and haven't pissed on a pg test for 9 months now - damn AF keeps arriving on time, think of all the money I would have pissed away if I tested on 10 or 12 dpo - note to all viroids no early pissing Wink

On the topic of dreams, I dreamt about tink at the weekend. It was on the topic of my (our) current booze ban, I was offered a large glass of wine which I started drinking and then thought shit! I've let tink down Smile
