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.

Ain that's brilliant!

YB I've had hypnosis and now working on self hypnosis for the birth. It v v v relaxing but you are in control the whole time, you can just get up and walk out if you want to, but you don't because it's feels so nice!

jellypi3 · 17/09/2015 08:07

well done ain that's fantastic! keep it up! that's amazing weight loss! i aided mine by walking to my SW center before my weigh-ins on week 2 and 3 and I won slimmer of the week one week (and had to walk back home with half a tonne of fruit and veg!) i'm deffo rejoining SW when baby is here (whilst pg I couldn't give a toss what I eat!)

Keepatit · 17/09/2015 08:20

Well done ain - what appt is in that you have got? I have been on/off here so have no doubt missed your post. Half a stone in a week is fab! I've lost 5lb so far... I did lose half a stone but that was as at an unofficial weigh day, by the time weigh day came round I'd put 2 on. Note to self: stop weighing mid-week!!

We are just waiting for our referral to the FC now.... Which is what has given me the kick up the arse to shift some timber. I've heard it's at the discretion of a 'board' as to whether you can go ahead to ivf / other means, and the last thing I want is them saying no because I'm an umpalumpa.

Got myself a back massage tonight - not had a massage since we went to Bali (2 years ago) so I'm quite looking forward to it!

Keepatit · 17/09/2015 08:21

waves to Jelly hope all is well Smile

lildottie · 17/09/2015 08:53

Well done ain that's fantastic. They will be pleased you've lost at fc do don't worry.

just I didn't realise fc were going to do same bloods! I'd call fc and ask to speak to a friendly nurse, explain the situation and ask if its possible to just have the fc ones done. You may find if they know about your phobia they will do it in the fc rather than make you queue for an age.

jellypi3 · 17/09/2015 09:14

waves back hey keep all well here :) 21 weeks today...no idea where the time is going!

fruitlovingmonkey · 17/09/2015 11:13

Well done Ain, what a great start.
Did you poas Sock?
Feathered you're not getting any hooyahs from me. It's perfectly understandable and I'm going through the same. I've had slight nausea but not actually been sick at all and I'm worried in case I'm just imagining the nausea. I gagged this morning when I picked up ddog's poo but, alas, no vomit! I do realise how crazy this makes me
The commune is getting better and better, we can be barefoot hippies with medical science. Now we just need a way around these blood phobias. What would dolphins do?

Keepatit · 17/09/2015 13:01

Wow! jelly! I can't believe how fast it is going! What's your EDD?

SockQueen · 17/09/2015 14:05

BFN, of course. Stupid, stupid me for thinking we might have got lucky before the fertility clinic appt.

fruitlovingmonkey · 17/09/2015 14:15

Sorry sock Cake

jellypi3 · 17/09/2015 14:26

:( Flowers sock sorry for the BFN.

keep 28th Jan Shock

lildottie · 17/09/2015 15:43

Been there sock Wine

Keepatit · 17/09/2015 16:00

Jeez jelly! I honestly can't believe how fast it's gone!

Sorry sock Flowers Sad

I will no doubt be feeling the same later this month when the witch arrives. She will probably arrive the same day we receive the referral letter, just to rub it in a bit more.

How many of us are going to fertility clinic? I've seen a few mention it now.

I've just found out my friend is upduffed. She's only just gone back to work after maternity SadEnvy

I'm debating asking DH if he would consider doing the adoption route, like starting it off now.

lil if you don't mind me asking, what has been the timescale between you being referred to the stage you are at now?

bellybuttonfluffy · 17/09/2015 16:08

Sorry Sock Sad

I think I'll be joining the boat with yourself and Keep. We I have the gyne appointment in October. Not at all sure what to expect, but I was referred due to the painful, heavy and very irregular periods I have been having since coming off the pill in December. I hope they do some investigations into my fertility from this. No idea when to poas now. I don't even have any sticks to pee on as I went through 30 in about 5 months Blush. Ohh how I wish that this will be a BFP and I don't need to use this appointment in October!

bellybuttonfluffy · 17/09/2015 16:13

Should I give it another week viroids? I last tested on Tuesday morning, using my last IC. There's been no more spotting/cramping/AF symptoms. Wait until next Tuesday before testing again?

Keepatit · 17/09/2015 16:14

What CD you on fluffy?

I'm on a right downer now Sad

bellybuttonfluffy · 17/09/2015 16:22

Today is CD 38. I had spotting 2 weeks ago today, and I hoped it was from ovulating. Had planned to wait to POAS til today, but that messed up when I tested on Tuesday.

Hope you're okay Keep. How long have you been trying? And your referral letter, is that to the clinic? Have you have any tests as yet?

I'd say it's good to know where you stand with partners on topics like adoption etc, but I've heard how intense the process is.

YouBastardSockBalls · 17/09/2015 16:24

Sorry sock Sad

Think my fertile window has gone by with minimal JS. If I get a bfp this month it will be a miracle. I'm knackered and really not feeling well and just can't bring myself to do anything but sleep at night.

Tinktheterrible · 17/09/2015 16:31

Sorry sock Sad

fluffy what cd are you on and how many days has been your longest ever cycle?

I think there are a lot of us at the fc now Sad we seem to have become the anti jsers of late! Although we still do the shagging, it just isn't quite enough for some of us! Maybe we should become the shagging and assisted conception thread Grin we can call ourselves the shagging and science bitches Grin

So I think I'm going to head off to the commune tonight Smile Dh is back later after being away and I am not in the mood for him. I have horrible bloat and a really sore bowel. Can we do some rituals in the sweat lodge please? I feel like hot stones and eucalyptus steam would be nice. Followed by a dance around the campfire. We could burn an Ian McShane effigy as an offering

Tinktheterrible · 17/09/2015 16:35

keep definitely chat about it to your oh. I can really recommend contacting your local authority too. Ours are lovely and you get to speak to a proper social worker and can ask lots of questions. They can come round your house and chat to you about it too, although I wouldn't do this until/if you get serious about it as I think their time is quite precious.

bellybuttonfluffy · 17/09/2015 16:39

My longest ever was 70 days Tink and that was my last full cycle. It had varied from 34 days to 50-odd on other cycles.

Had a great break at our spa hotel. I loved the steam room and sauna! Grin I'll come along to the commune with you Tink if I get to do all that again! Can I bring along the chinese takeaway I'm planning to get tonight?

Cupcake29 · 17/09/2015 16:44

Hi, I'm new on here & was wondering what your thoughts are on Preseed?
Would be great to get some opinions Smile x

jellypi3 · 17/09/2015 17:00

tink don't forget the porcelin seagull (what was his name)??

cupcake i prefer concieve plus to preseed. Cheaper and easier to use imo.

Cupcake29 · 17/09/2015 17:05

Thank you! I'll have a look into getting some, I was sort of torn between the 2. Preseed does seem quite tricky to use, and it seems like the recommended amount to use is quite a lot Confused x

FeatheredTail · 17/09/2015 18:11

Cupcake I used conceive plus with both my BFPs - use it just like ordinary lube (and don't be too freaked out at how it looks when it dries out!)
