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.

Thankyou! Yeah just a bit wobbly now. Bastard. Thieving. Twats.

lildottie · 15/09/2015 07:38

1000mg vit c per day plus zinc and selenium if you can find it. Vit c with zinc in 1000mg dose should be easy to find in tesco, or at least a 1000mg vit c and a zinc tablet is easy to find. keep ask for a print out and I'll help explain it/likely options from it. How's dh taken it? I think most important thing is to treat is as joint infertility not his infertility. Ifhe feels like you're in it together hopefully he won't feel castrated!

honey I think I've got about same as last time at this stage. Not all follicles will contain eggs. I had about 20follicles at the end last time but lots were too small so contained no/immature eggs. Should get date for ec on Friday. I'm hoping it will be a Monday ec. I will of course keep you posted.

So, I'm the commune leader that you all worship right? If so count me in ;)

lildottie · 15/09/2015 07:41

Oh shut ga missed that. Did they get anything? Low life's!

fruitlovingmonkey · 15/09/2015 07:58

Ah ga that's terrible. Must have been very scary for you. What cunts.
Go lil gx for big, juicy follicles.
I'm in for the commune. Can we wear flowers in our hair?

honeysucklejasmine · 15/09/2015 09:12

Of course you're in charge of the commune Lil! Who else?!

SockQueen · 15/09/2015 10:14

I'm in for the commune! I would like a big floaty skirt to match the flowers in my hair. And maybe a ukelele.

Keepatit · 15/09/2015 12:50

lil I'll see if I can get a print out when I ring to confir we eat to go ahead to the fertility clinic. DH is taking it quite well actually because she made out to him like it wasn't a HUGE issue... But I don't think she told him the rates etc. We aren't treating it as being infertile - should we be?! By the sounds of the conversation between doc and DH she didn't dismiss likelihood of getting upduffed.

gaggia that's fucking horrible Sad thieiving scumbags!

Keepatit · 15/09/2015 12:51

Oh forgot to mention, since DTD last night I have felt really full. Like a constant cramping in the area u expect to feel period pains. Very weird

gaggiagirl · 15/09/2015 13:35

They didn't get anything lil no. Life is great. I just want to get this bloody house finished because at the moment its showing off all its building site glory begging to be burgled.

lildottie · 15/09/2015 17:09

At least their efforts were fruitless then ga. How far off finished are you?

keep I think anything below the guideline levels is considered infertile. But dh had v low motility (how well they swim). His count and morphology (how many are normally formed) were fine. Motility issues usually means icsi, just morph i think ivf is enough.

My ovaries feel full!

Tinktheterrible · 15/09/2015 17:10

Oh ga what arseholes!! Hope it hasn't got under your skin. Flowers

keep sounds like you're icing! Gx! I don't think it is a huge issue, depends on the specifics and averages after a few tests. Also, if his volume is good then overall chances are increased even if you get some low results iyswim.

FeatheredTail · 15/09/2015 18:01

How frightening Ga - glad you're feeling ok and the scummers didn't get in/take anything.

Keep - I also get a very confident/takin' out the trash/let's get things DONE vibe when I'm icing too!

Is it wrong to be jealous of people who are more pregnant than me? ANOTHER one of DH's friends wives is preggo due around my original time. That's three of them due around my EDD now! I wish them nothing but the best (but can't help feeling all ....THAT WAS WHEN MYYYYYY BABY WAS DUE!) Also weird that it's his best mate and he's only just told him she's upduffed Hmm

Tinktheterrible · 15/09/2015 18:08

feathered defriend, never speak to them again Wink that is my motto! I am not lonely, no, not at all

FeatheredTail · 15/09/2015 18:09

Apols viroids, just read my last post and realise what a bitter old hag I sound. I AM delighted for my friends, honest!

Keepatit · 15/09/2015 19:59

i suppose if it wasn't an issue she wouldn't be referring us. Smack right back down to earth now.

DH's is low motility from how he described it - in his words "the swimmers aren't active enough" but his count was normal / fine. So what is icsi?

I'm pretty sure I did actually ovulate yesterday - halifuckingloolya!! I seriously have not felt like that in a long time - anything and everything was an inuendo yesterday and the confidence... Jeez. I felt like a model Grin

I wonder if its because over the last two weeks I've been trying really hard at dieting (lost half a stone). I'm thinking the healthy eating etc. could have something to do with it.

Keepatit · 15/09/2015 20:01

Oh I've been asked if I want to meet up with some school friends and all of which are bringing their newborns (up to a year) children. Bare in mind two of them know we have been ttc unsuccessfully. I can't help but think how inconsiderate it is... Would anyone else feel like that or am I being sensitive?!

justtheonethen · 15/09/2015 20:44

keep you're being sensitive but I totally get how you feel. I don't think they have done anything wrong though.
Gx you get pg before fc app. Get your dp on the vit c like lil said.

feathered I'm jealous of every preggo so don't beat yourself up. Be kind to yourself.

ga how horrific. Hope you're ok.

So fc have told gp to get me to have blood tests before app now. Bloody gp obv got it wrong. Or this is just how they do it, I don't know. Anyway, I don't think I can do it, I know how stupid that sounds but I'm having a total wobble about it. Sad

In other news, dp has just turned me down as he's "too busy working". So obviously now I've decided that's the shag that would have got me upduffed. Pathetic shagging effort here this month. Shagged O-1 and O but nothing like the jizz fest of recent times.

YouBastardSockBalls · 15/09/2015 21:51

Evening viroids! I've been on holiday. Just realised its day 13 of cycle, and no shagging for days. Have I missed my chance??

Hope everybody's well, I'll go back and rtft Smile

justtheonethen · 15/09/2015 22:10

When do you normally ice? I'd get shagging just in case Grin

YouBastardSockBalls · 15/09/2015 22:32

Don't know! 12 or 14? It's been a couple of years so I've forgotten. Still might not be icing. Still, I can but try!

lildottie · 15/09/2015 23:00

keep its good to get a referral, things are moving forward. But at least you can do something in the meantime. By the time we did our first ivf cycle the vit c had improved dhs motility from 3% to 12% (almost normal) and his morphology from 45% to 79%. That was over a period of 6minths of taking it. Sperm issues don't mean you can't get pg naturally. tink is right that 3% of 88m count in my dhs case is still a few million decent swimmers! It's just likely to take longer to conceive because of the bad sperm bringing down the good. The vit c helps that too as its antioxidant.
Icsi is intra cytoplasmic sperm injection. Instead of letting sperm swim to egg in a PetriPetri disco dish (ie ivf) they inject a sperm into each egg to fertilise it. The rest of the ivf is exactly the same as normal ivf.

just I'm sending you a slap with a wet fish. It's just a blood test you can and will do it. The alternative is no assistance with conception. Do you want a baby? this is me giving tough love, not trying to be a cow bag, sorry!

Ain626 · 15/09/2015 23:03

Oh my goodness. I nearly missed out on joining the commune! That would never do. I'm totally up for commune life (maybe not the placenta sandwiches ga! But up for the flowy skirts and flowers in my hair)

ga attempted break in sounds awful. Glad it was only am attempted one but still! Scary stuff. Hope you're okay.

keep sounds positive for icing. I have my gx for you.

I'm exhausted. And it's only Tuesday. DH tried to get sex last night and I turned him down! I try not to do that as I seem to initiate more so don't want to turn him down when he does initiate! Tut tut. I had taken sleeping tablets and was zonked. Should of just let him get on with it! Haha.

Illiria · 16/09/2015 03:18

I do believe the witch is here, spotting with a lot of camping. Will message the endocrinologist to see about starting the next round.

Ga glad your ok.

Keep - do you have a nurse at your GPs you trust to do it?

ChatEnOeuf · 16/09/2015 06:48

Oh Ill I'm sorry Sad

Just you CAN do it. Take a friend you trust get them to talk you into a place of calm, ask for Emla beforehand to numb the area, and tell them beforehand to take a couple of extra pots, just in case there's an issue with one of them...

Outrageously rare fillet steak last night, the witch has tapped her broomstick. All is good.

Ga Angry the fuckers.

Keep, YB: Shag.

just missed about the blood test. You can't orally do it, it doesn't even hurt. It doesn't hurt.
