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.

Black I know what you mean about saga hols! Me and DH had a few days in a hotel before we met family in a villa where were were the youngest by about 50 years! They loved the evening entertainment, you couldn't get them of the dance floor! Have fun.

Kez, hugs. You can face the world and AF, the bitch, well if she shows up, you'll give her what for. GX she's done one though.

jellypi3 · 21/10/2015 08:34

Gx kez!!!

belly people CAN conceive with a 9 day LP, anything under that is seriously deficient but it does make it harder. It means that your embies of lying have a short time to implant before your uterus starts to break down for your period.

If yours is consistently 9 days it might be worth you looking in to be complex. I'll take a picture of the ones I got from holland and Barratt for you.

jellypi3 · 21/10/2015 08:36

Of lying?? That was meant to say only...

ChatEnOeuf · 21/10/2015 08:50

We're off to Tenerife, Feathered - belated summer holiday. I do love that it'll be full of elderlies, we've had several breaks like that though none with DD. She's also hard to get off the dance floor :)

YB not yet! GX

Hope the witch stays away Kez, still planning on Thurs?

Happy Hump day ladies! Xx

Have a lovely holiday ChatEnOeuf

honeysucklejasmine · 21/10/2015 09:12

Fluffy B complex, that Jelly mentions brings ovulation forward a bit, so elongating your LP. A short LP is not an insurmountable problem, don't worry.

LondonGirl83 · 21/10/2015 09:29

socks I'm symptom spotting too. I've been nauseated last couple of days. I swing between being convinced I'm pregnant to being sure I did really ovulate Confused

My skin has a weird burning hot sensation too which is odd

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 09:53

She's still not here...

Yes I'm going to POAS tomorrow with FMU chat

If she turns up I am going to take it out on the useless hospital.

YouBastardSockBalls · 21/10/2015 10:46

I'm 99.99999999% sure I iced this month, also dtd at the right times, and I've had mild cramping ever since. So if it's bfn this month I'll be going back to the GP to get the cramping checked out!

FeatheredTail · 21/10/2015 11:04

Are you POAS today TB? hops

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 11:06

Gx kez!

YB I've had that this month too, from literally 2 days after I iced. Convinced myself it was our month for a few days but now not so sure. Only 3 more days until I find out.

YouBastardSockBalls · 21/10/2015 11:11

Only 9dpo feathered. How many days are you keep?

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 11:55

Pretty sure I'm 11dpo. Definitely not feeling like it's happened this month though.

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 13:56

Still no AF and I caved and did a FRER at lunch - BFN.

I'm not upset as such, more drained from going through this every month. Wouldn't be so bad if she had turned up when she was supposed to!

Peenut · 21/10/2015 14:14

Keep Not only is AF a bitch, she's late. Sorry to hear it was a BFN. Good job lasting until lunchtime though, think I would have caved days ago. Hugs.

FRER are staying in business because of us, once we all get pregnant they'll have to put a call out for Chinese investment or go under.

I've just done a lunch time yoga class (which is basically a bit of stretching and a little sleep). Tried to harness the positive energies of the womble conker. Namaste.

LondonGirl83 · 21/10/2015 14:32

Sorry Kez Flowers

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 14:54

Sorry kez Thanks we've not been trying long so I can only imagine how disheartening it must be. You're not out yet though so gx still. It will happen for you.

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 14:55

Haha peenut "which is basically a bit of stretching and a little sleep" made me laugh. I could do with some of that.

Peenut · 21/10/2015 15:16

I know Keep was lovely.

Sorry I'm clearly getting confused about name changes, sorry Kez I meant you when I mentioned AF being a late rude looser!

Hugs to you too Keep if you wanted them, and a downward dog/meditative snooze.

Almost feel asleep a few times at yoga, each time stop by me almost but not quite snoring! Need to be that relaxed all the time!

justtheonethen · 21/10/2015 16:43

kez sorry lovely, that is crap. Try fmu though?

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 17:07

I'll take the hug and the downward dog snooze peenut, it's been a bloody busy day and still got 2 hours to go!

bellybuttonfluffy · 21/10/2015 17:19

Funnily enough, I already take b-complex (along with zinc and starflower oil) as my mum is a big believer of all the vitamins and she insisted I take them. I don't take it religiously, so I'll start on that!

jellypi3 · 21/10/2015 17:48

kez sorry for the bfn. My 11 dpo line however was a huge squinted with fmu so I'd test again if I were you

jellypi3 · 21/10/2015 17:48

Tomorrow I mean :)

KateBeckett · 21/10/2015 18:08

Boooo about the bfn kez but you're not out til the witch arrives right?

How do you work out your lp? I guess you have to know exactly when you ice? So need to use contraband? I still have a week or so to wait before the witch is due... Have been feeling some weird crampy feelings on my left hand side, but I think I'm just more aware of every feeling I get there now we are ttc!

Work is mega hectic and stressful atm. I would love to try and change jobs (careers!!) but seeing as we have just started ttc it doesn't seem like the best timing. I think I'm going to wait until the end of the school year and then jump ship if not upduffed. It would be stupid to hang around in a job I hate forever just in case I fall pregnant! Plus I think I'd go mad knowing I was stuck here forever... Blerg.

Hope your days have been better than mine!
