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)

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.

I don't 'do' dpo's jelly all I know is the bitch was due today when going. By past cycles.

She's done this before- got my hopes up then turned up a day late. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's hard, y'know. I think after 14 months its about my time Grin

KezAgain · 20/10/2015 18:03

I know just , mine are feeling so heavy!

I've got back ache to accompany it also. I've been in a right crabby mood today too which hasn't exactly made our last day off together fun!

jellypi3 · 20/10/2015 18:04

Ahh, well gx for you :)

LondonGirl83 · 20/10/2015 18:10

Kez How late do you want to be before you test? Do you have any pissy sticks with you on holiday?

KezAgain · 20/10/2015 18:20

I'm back from holiday now london.... Not that it makes any difference because I don't have any pissy sticks in the house.

I want to be at least 2 days late before I test.

To be honest I'm not even getting my hopes up ... I'm more just sick of trying. Sick of being at this stage month in month out ad ending up disappointed.

Woah... Sorry about the me-me post Blush

LondonGirl83 · 20/10/2015 18:25

TTC sucks, it really does. Gx this is your last cycle for a good while :)

KezAgain · 20/10/2015 18:29

Anyone know where lil is / if all is okay?

FeatheredTail · 20/10/2015 18:35

Oooooh Just is back! Just give us some holiday envy!

FeatheredTail · 20/10/2015 18:36

Lil is really bust with home/work stuff Kez - a couple of the other viroids got in touch because we were getting worried she'd been AWOL. Apparently all's well/beans are fine. Smile

FeatheredTail · 20/10/2015 18:38

*busy

corgi88 · 20/10/2015 18:38

Hugs kez don't worry surely we are all entitled to a whinge!
I'm starting to wish I could just switch off and forget about it but nope every month i fall into the TWOT and then get really disheartened and sad when the witch is here.
Viroids what is this b vitamin shizzle? I used to take it for migraines ages ago .... I think my LP is 12-14 days, at any rate the witch normally appears 12-14 days after I get mittelschmerz. Reckon b vits are still worth a punt?
Starting to really struggle at work now, just can't be arsed with any of it. I really feel like i need a break from medicine and I'm starting to panic that I won't get preggers until after GP training finishes and I'll have to work for aaaaages until I qualify for maternity leave. Not that I really understand how mat leave works.
Gosh sorry I'm whinging on, might go make a cake. Whoop Xx

justtheonethen · 20/10/2015 18:51

It wasn't me on holiday, just not been on for a couple of days as been mega busy with work! Is tink on exotic holiday. I have no tales to make you green, sorry!

justtheonethen · 20/10/2015 18:52

kez I'm keeping everything crossed for you

KezAgain · 20/10/2015 19:17

Ah brill stuff thanks feathered! I musta missed that update while I was away. Glad all is good with our oracle

Thanks just but please stick to everything but the legs being crossed... This ttc is hard enough Grin Grin

If she hasn't arrived by end of tomorrow I'll get some tests and do a FMU on Thursday.

jellypi3 · 20/10/2015 19:42

corgi an LP of 12-14 is normal. 10-12 is low, sub 10 is very low. I wouldn't worry about b complex because it can mess up your cycles so I wouldn't want to advise it

ChatEnOeuf · 20/10/2015 20:03

Ooh, a unicorn on Thursday. That'll brighten my week up - GX Kez - and don't worry about the me-me, we're all entitled to a few of those!

Tink and Black are sunning themselves. We go at the start of Nov. Debating what to pack - Mooncup and pee sticks? Am only invoking LoS in one fashion. Witch due to swoop while we're away.

Corgi I completely don't understand salary GP or GP partner mat leave arrangements. I do know from friends that you're wildly better off if you can squeeze it into your training. Do you have a special interest you could pursue until the time's right? Are VTSers even allowed to do that kind of shizzle? I know I have so many interests I'd like to do a six-month job in, but the deanery will have a huge hissy fit if I ask for more time OOP...I reckon they think I'm trying to delay CCT which is completely true. I felt a lot like that both at med school (so I took a year out to weave lentils), and in F2 (mercifully I then got my run-through).

Hope things are still fine, Lil.

MyBlackCat · 20/10/2015 20:43

chat is right it's me and tink in the sun although tink is in a far more exotic location than I am. In the summer we ended up at a hotel full of families with kids all over this place, now we are in a hotel at the other end of the spectrum - saga holidays are the main customers Shock the objective of the week is to spot a childless couple younger than us Wink

FeatheredTail · 20/10/2015 20:59

Ahh yes, it's Tink who's on a tropical island somewhere....Soz Just!! Hope you're having a lovely time blackcat - hope you're having a lovely relaxing time with the saga crew!

Where are you going Chat?

Paige43 · 20/10/2015 22:29

I'd love a holiday right now!

Kez sometimes you just need a moan and let it all out. X

YouBastardSockBalls · 20/10/2015 22:30

Hello viroids!

Been off for a few days, busy busy so haven't rtft properly.
Cheers to all those on holiday!
And jeers to the witch!

I'm her for my hooyah. 8dpo. Knackered and lots of right sided cramping, plus my c section scar is twinging a bit. Exactly how previous two pregnancies started, but then I think I'm pregnant every month so what's new!

Anyone else symptom spotting??

coribeth · 21/10/2015 02:13

I never get any ewcm well not that I've ever noticed I do shag a lot so maybe I just can't tell! Blush Currently in fertile window about to ice any day now if this month is a bfn think I'm gonna have a break from the whole clomid ttc circus as it is starting to do my head in! Hmm

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 06:45

AF Due day + 1 6:43

Slight cramping going on, boobages still hurting. Had a rough night and didn't sleep well, but when I did, Dreamt about BFP's.

Do not want to go to work today.

oneyorkshirepud · 21/10/2015 06:58

Gx Kez

honeysucklejasmine · 21/10/2015 07:03

Hooyah sock!

Gx Kez! When's the next synchro piss?

bellybuttonfluffy · 21/10/2015 07:54

Whats all this shiz about LP? Mines is about 9 days (have been 10 days after positive OPK in two cycles I've tracked)! How have I only learned this now? Sad
