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.

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

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.

My potential redundancy tink - big restructure chance to get rid of people my job with a number of others being made redundant, basically have to apply for a very very similar job...

whatasTink · 29/09/2015 21:12

Oouff, that's not fun. Can you use The opportunity to perhaps look at other companies? Or is it not that kind of job? Sorry to hear that anyway, interviewing sucks.

MyBlackCat · 29/09/2015 21:14

Not that kind of job, very niche, basically I'm fucked if I'm made redundant Sad

KeepTheHope · 29/09/2015 21:17

Oh no black, I hope it all works out for you.

whatasTink · 29/09/2015 21:29

Hope you get the similar one then black, I'm sure you will! How could they not want a kerazy viroid Smile

YogaPants · 29/09/2015 21:30

Oh no black, sounds like a stressful situation at work!

Not to get your hopes up just, but a few days before my bfp, I had the faintest amount of spotting which disappeared the next day. If it was a paint colour, I would have named it "hint of menses".

What a lovely portrait lil. Gingers it's the first of many.

honeysucklejasmine · 29/09/2015 21:37

lil the photo is sooooo lovely!

coribeth · 29/09/2015 21:44

chat really you never saw a ttt like mine I just assumed it was fairly regular event although must admit was surprised when the reg went and got me some water cynical nurse Hmm
Lil wow amazing pics gx your embies are sticky ones!
Tink nearly pmsl turkey blaster Grin
black I'm always talking to my cats I meow at them too Confused they answer me though!

coribeth · 29/09/2015 21:50

sock almost missed you the best bit of advice I got about taking Clomid was to do it at night so you sleep through majority of side effects the first month took during day and had horrible side effects second month Blush against medical advice I tried again at night did have a couple of hot flushes but nothing major was much better! Doc is now happy for me to carry on unless I get that elusive bfp in the meantime!

justtheonethen · 29/09/2015 22:17

Hint of menses Grin. That's what I had. Don't dare get my hopes up. I've been feeling crampy for three days now so sure it's on way although I've never had spotting before. Still nothing else.

justtheonethen · 29/09/2015 22:19

Good news about mummy black. Hope job sorts itself out though.

FeatheredTail · 29/09/2015 22:31

Feel too sick to type but wanted to let Lil know I'm virtually rubbing the womble conker over her tummy and having a stern, firm, but fair chat with the embies.

So glad your mum's going to be ok Black. I've been through a few similar sounding restructures and know how stressful it can be. Just try to stay positive about the role that will be ring fenced and similar to your current job.

SockQueen · 29/09/2015 22:52

No Tink, no metformin as I don't currently have any signs of insulin resistance. I will need to keep an eye on that though.

Thanks for the suggestion cori I'll remember that!

Love the micro-lil pictures! Come on little embies!

Illiria · 30/09/2015 02:33

Sock I second Cori's recommendation, I have found that this month had a lot more flushes but I responded better to it, with at least 3 over 20mm.

Are you having a day 13 scan?

YouBastardSockBalls · 30/09/2015 05:58

Sorry for not rtft but I'm having a major wobble.

Now around 5 days late. Feeling a little like this could be our month, but after dtd last night I'm now terrified we've upset things as I'm getting a little pain in lower right side. I had this with both other pregnancies too but it could also be AF related (although feels a bit different). Just terrified I've ruined everything.

Can shagging affect early pregnancy?? I know they say not but......aaaarghh!
Going to drive to town and buy a FRER if still no AF by lunchtime.

Sorry for the crazy.

justtheonethen · 30/09/2015 06:14

yb in the nicest possible way you're being a bit mad lovely. No shagging won't upset early pg, certainly not at this early stage.

Af arrived. Feeling bitter, cross and miserable.

fruitlovingmonkey · 30/09/2015 07:18

Cute kids lil! They look like the burrowing type.
Black I have similar conversations with my dog.
Me: was it yummy?
Dog: licks lips
Me: is it in your tummy now?
Dog: rolls over for a tummy tickle
I'm convinced he understands me!
Good news for your mum and your friend. Sorry about the redundancy, gx it doesn't happen.
sock your appointment sounds positive.
yb I understand why you might worry but I was convinced I wasn't upduffed on my bfp cycle and did some very energetic shagging and also crazy dancing, jumping around and with drunk DH bashing into me. Neither of those things stopped implantation happening. Try not to stress and be kind to yourself...and poafs and put yourself out of the misery of waiting!
Cori that sounds terrifying, glad they stopped the test when they did.
Sorry for the witch just

honeysucklejasmine · 30/09/2015 07:42

yb I drank cocktails all weekend with friends and got my bfp on the Monday. 19 weeks today.

jellypi3 · 30/09/2015 07:49

Oh no just sorry to hear that :( :(

YB try not to stress. Shagging can't affect it at this early stage. Regardless of what you do the bean will implant or it won't.

OP posts:
whatasTink · 30/09/2015 08:00

Sorry just Sad

yb right side abdomen pain is generally wind according to my GP. Shagging will not dislodge anything, unless of course your dp has a knitting needle shaped penis and penetrates your cervix Wink chill man! Grin what will be will be.

YouBastardSockBalls · 30/09/2015 08:18

Sorry just Sad

Thanks everyone. Knitting needle shaped penis made me lol tink!
Pain gone now, going to buy a FRER later. Can you do them anytime in the day?

LondonGirl83 · 30/09/2015 08:30

Sock- congrats on the positive appointment.

YB- i've read somewhere that sex in very early pregnancy can cause cramping but that its not dangerous!

Just I'm sorry the witch got you Flowers

LondonGirl83 · 30/09/2015 08:32

Despite the hooey and the sage advice I poas this morning and... BFP!!!

I'm still in shock as is DH. We never thought about anything after TTC. I literally have no idea what I am supposed to do next / when I need to make appointments or how.

I imagine there is info on line which i will be reading all morning instead of doing work...

LondonGirl83 · 30/09/2015 08:34

Not hooey, hooya- stupid autocorrect!

YouBastardSockBalls · 30/09/2015 08:36

Congratulations london!

With my first I went to GP who referred me to midwife, with second I just rang the midwife myself.

They don't book you in until 8 weeks which feels like ages!
