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 <strong>kitten</strong> = 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.

Jizz in a bra = how we transport the jizz to the Sperm Queen

Shagging like <strong>Something</strong> = 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 <strong>Lemon</strong> = 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.

Yeah I do. I hope I didn't pass it to him. Don't think there will be much shagging any time soon anyway...

Ill how exciting, are you hoping no one will claim him? Wink

I love chocolate hedgehog cake. We got it for DS's first bday after my attempt turned into disaster Blush Is she going to school in the UK or Belgium, Chat? I hope she has a lovely celebration!

CarrotPuff · 05/09/2015 12:26

Yoga do you have any idea when you iced? (pant snot, cramps, feeling horny, etc.) If not I would go with Wed and if BFN test again in a week. If no witch before then obviously.

ChatEnOeuf · 05/09/2015 12:51

Yoga Grin Fellow JSer. Weds sounds reasonable, unless the crazies get you you're getting proper symptoms.

She's at school in Be, Carrot - it's very international though - most kids in her class are from somewhere different (I'm 90% sure she's the only Brit). I have to say my baking has improved no end since having her, she's just such an enthusiastic fan :)

oneyorkshirepud · 05/09/2015 13:32

Fellow previous JSER with long/irregular cycles Yoga. Wed sounds good. If BFN keep JSing and testing each week. Good luck!

MyBlackCat · 05/09/2015 13:44

yoga I'm a jser but may have previously used contraband but I am also a non tester so I would wait for some symptoms first Grin

I tried to cheer myself up by doing Parkrun this morning - it was awful, i then had to go to work but am home now, think I may have a nap.

Ain626 · 05/09/2015 16:52

Happy Saturday viroids. Hope you're all having a good day.

I POAS this morning. No idea why. BFN of course.

I'm home alone this weekend (DH away for his mates stag do) so am chilling out and catching up on my recorded programmes on the Sky box and browsing Pinterest (I am addicted!).

Also trying to plan out some stuff for school and some stuff for Brownies.

honeysucklejasmine · 05/09/2015 16:55

Didn't TriJo get her BFP on cd80?

Ain you're starting Brownies? Good for you!

justtheonethen · 05/09/2015 16:59

I'm starting brownies too!

Ain626 · 05/09/2015 18:30

Ooo... Brownie crew... Did you guys know about the essex international jamboree next summer? I just signed up to be a volunteer. Grin Secretly hoping I won't be able to make it as I'll be too preggers, but if I'm not it's something that would be fun to do.

I'm a warranted brownie leader, but have been out of it for a while (when I moved house to do my teacher training I stopped...) I have agreed to take a unit on that would have had to close (lack of leaders) and it's the first meeting back after the summer on Thursday - and my first week of being a leader again. Eek. I don't know what to do with them. :-S

justtheonethen · 05/09/2015 18:56

I'm clueless ain, just volunteering as a helper for now. Jamboree? No idea what that is! I'm excited about it, I loved brownies. You will be brilliant, let us know how it goes.

honeysucklejasmine · 05/09/2015 18:58

Ain do you want me to email you my last few programs?

Ain626 · 05/09/2015 19:42

honey that would be fantastic if you could. It's been a few years since I've had a unit so ideas to help me get back into it will be fantastic! I'll PM you my email address.

I've currently put down some fairly standard stuff I think for the first night - Was thinking could all sit in a circle, quick chat, each girl can have a turn to say an 'interesting fact' about themselves or something they did in the holidays or anything else they happen to want to say. I'll tell them something about me too (not sure what yet! Haha). Get them to have a bit of a pow wow to let me know the kinds of things they like to do and so they can contribute towards the planning for the rest of the term. Then a short activity based on the queen becoming the longest reigning monarch - maybe designing a crown or something. Something simple that won't take too long to get ready/put away after the pow wow. Then if there's time, a game.

lildottie · 05/09/2015 21:09

I'm here

keep it's a hard thing to google because US/UK/Australia measure it in different ways.

Yes, in the UK less than 30 indicates lack of ovulation, but if you were a day early that could make a difference to the result, albeit possibly a small one. this is because progesterone peaks around 7days pre AF so any time before or after may be below the magic 30 despite the fact you have actually ovulated.

I imagine the GP will just refer you to clinic now, or may want to do a repeat test. If i were you i would try and get a telephone appointment sooner. Has dh done SA yet? if not maybe wait for booked appointment if he is booked in to do SA or waiting for results.

I wouldn't worry though. It is perfectly normal for a healthy fertile woman to have 2 annovulatory cycles a year. If you are really worried then start temping.

feathered I don't actually stop the injections i'm doing next week, I add another injection. The one i'm doing stops my natural hormones doing anything so I do that one right up until trigger day. On Tuesday (hopefully) I add a second injection in the evening which is FSH/LH hormones to start hyperstimulation of my ovaries so they produce as many fresh ripe eggs for picking as possible. I do that for about 10 days or so depending on how things go. after that I inject an HCG trigger injection to mature the eggs and stop both of those injections I have been doing. The trigger has to be done exactly 36 hours before egg collection to avoid you ovulating all the eggs yourself (tis a very nerveracking 36 hours!)

Done lots of house shopping today, TV for bedroom, mount for TV, tiles for en-suite, towel radiator for en-suite, bathroom paint for ceiling, more paint for woodwork, radiator paint (and dh painted the radiator). I'm getting so excited that my bedroom is finally going to be ready. We should be in a day or so before egg collection so I'll be able to chill out in there afterwards and watch TV in bed!

lildottie · 05/09/2015 23:23

Ok, so I think I missed half the thread earlier. Stupid non app usage. Too tired to go back now. Will try and catch up better properly tomorrow!

honeysucklejasmine · 05/09/2015 23:24

Ain will do as soon as I can pry DH away from computer. But your first night sounds great! I usually do a "what I did on my holiday" chat and go from there. I'd really encourage them to get on and do some badges as well. In a lot of cases they will be able to get some almost instantly e.g. if they do swimming lessons. I had one who is a junior life guard so she got signed off for first aid, first aid advanced, swimmer and swimmer advanced. Mental. Just need to get their instructor to sign there badge book (or print out from Brownies webpage if they don't have badge book.) Let me know if you need help with Go, it can be a bit overwhelming but it's OK really.

FeatheredTail · 05/09/2015 23:57

Evening all! Some good news....I got my BFP today. Yep, I broke the rules and tested at 10 DPO. I didn't want to go to what I thought would be (and what turned out to be) an extremely boozey wedding without giving my FRER a whirl and justified it by the fact my last BFP was also 10 DPO.

Feeling pleased but can't get too excited based on what happened last time.

Shagged on day 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15. I believe I ovulated on day 15, based on temping.

Pics if you want them but appreciate that everyone is trying, some of us have had varying degrees of heartache along the way and sometimes being blindsided by a positive test pic (even on here) can be a bit heart lurching.

Apols for early testing (but would have gone wild on champagne had I not!). Just hope so much that I don't lose this one and it ends in a rosy, chunky baby.

FeatheredTail · 05/09/2015 23:59

I'm finding your IVF insight really fascinating Lil. That 36 hour window sounds crucial. Everything crossed for big ripe eggs.

Sounds like your house is going to be looking goooooood! I'd do anything for a TV in the bedroom. DH won't let me (probably because I have no self control and would never leave the bedroom again/have sex/read a book again if I did.) I love TV too much.

Tinktheterrible · 06/09/2015 01:24

feathered massive congratulations! And yes, pics please Flowers

SecondCupOfTea · 06/09/2015 02:25

Congrats Feathered you naughty early tester you Grin

Ain626 · 06/09/2015 02:48

Congrats feathered !!! Grin

Pics!

And thanks honey Flowers

honeysucklejasmine · 06/09/2015 05:48

Congratulations Feathered!

fruitlovingmonkey · 06/09/2015 06:06

Congratulations Feathered, fantastic news! I'm so happy for you. I would like to see the picture. The bad news is your naughty early pissing means a few extra days of early pg worry. Remember though that it's a new egg/ sperm/ lining and therefore a new start I can't fucking relax, don't take advice from me

CarrotPuff · 06/09/2015 07:12

Ooh congrats Feathered! naughty naughty

Pic please and stats!

FeatheredTail · 06/09/2015 07:32

Decent line for silly, defiant early testing! and I know I shouldn't have

Age: (one more month of being) 31

Shagging: Shagged 5 times during the fertile week (10,12,13,14,15) using IC OPKs a couple of times and temping to confirm ovulation on CD15. FF is a great app for this.

TTC cycle: started TTC in May. This is my second BFP (first on 12 May this year that ended in MC that started on 15 June and lasted for nearly a month). Think my body needed a break post-mc.

If this ends in a small feather, he/she will be born around 18 May and be my first DC.

Really regretting not having bloods taken post-mc. I'm worried I've got low progesterone levels (not sure where I plucked that from) or some other hormone deficiency that wrecked the pregnancy last time. Hoping it was just fluke.
