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.

*Kate, yeah you'd need contraband. Not OPKs necessarily. You can figure out based on temping which is maybe less stressful.

justtheonethen · 21/10/2015 19:15

Fc appointment tomorrow, not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not!

justtheonethen · 21/10/2015 19:16

Are you a teacher too kate?I nearly turned down my new job in case I got pregnant, so glad I didn't!

LondonGirl83 · 21/10/2015 19:56

Welcome Penguin

Penguin000 · 21/10/2015 19:56

Thank you! I'm currently playing the waiting game at the moment, 8 days late and peed on 2 sticks but no bfp.. HURRY UP AF SO I CAN START AGAIN!

YouBastardSockBalls · 21/10/2015 19:59

Good luck just!
And welcome penguin!

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 20:01

Good luck for tomorrow just. I'm sure it will be a positive experience, at least you will have a plan and maybe feel a bit more in control?

honeysucklejasmine · 21/10/2015 20:02

Hi Penguin!

Just I keep forgetting to reply to your PM! But glad it arrived and no ta. Enjoy!

Penguin000 · 21/10/2015 20:15

I seriously need to sit and read through all the abbreviations, I'm reading fc as father Christmas ??

SockQueen · 21/10/2015 20:27

Fertility clinic. For us Shagging and Science Bitches.

justtheonethen · 21/10/2015 20:32

Wish it was father Christmas!
8 days late must be driving you mad. Gx for a late bfp!

Thanks honey, bit scared of it tbh!

Penguin000 · 21/10/2015 20:32

Ahh, that makes sense, Feeling a bit dim now, but yes good luck Just Smile

justtheonethen · 21/10/2015 20:33

Ha ha no worries, let's hope you're not here long enough to work out all the abbreviations Wink

jellypi3 · 21/10/2015 21:02

Welcome penguin :) gx for late bfp.

kate yeh you need to know when you iced to work out LP.

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 21:05

Welcome penguin, I'd say take a seat but hopefully you aren't here long enough to need one. I'm one up from a seat now, I own a bed in this place.

TMI: It currently feel like I'm leaking downstairs Blush so I imagine the bitch bag mother fucking cow bag of a witch is on route. She hasn't arrived yet though.

Went to tesco this evening and they haven't got any FRER in, so won't be testing FMU (I couldn't be bothered to venture around all shops looking for one).

I can't believe how many mentality has chances in the time we have been TTC. I've got from testing 4/5 days early, day in day out to not being arsed about testing.

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 21:13

^ I don't generally piss myself when she's on her way... Just to clarify.

coribeth · 21/10/2015 21:18

Haha know what you mean kez I used to fool myself into think I was pg every month and this month I have a crampy sort of tummy ache and am thinking ah well not my month then whilst having to remind myself I haven't even iced yet! Hmm

KezAgain · 21/10/2015 21:25

Haha! It's funny isn't it how we tend to think anything is a symptom!

I used to think I was pregnant for about a week of every month (the week running up to AF). Anything and everything was a symptom- from sneezing to an itch on the elbow.

yes I am joking about the itch on the elbow Hmm

oneyorkshirepud · 21/10/2015 21:30

Kate, I would say go for it with the job applications. I was just starting to apply for non teaching roles in the spring but then got upduffed! I was aware though that if I got a new job we would have stopped ttc until I had started the new job/done it for a bit so that I would get mat pay. I has long cycles which made this all really hard to figure out, but it worked out for the best in the end! At the time though it could easily feasibly have taken us over a year to get upduffed and I didn't want to put stuff off just in case.

Penguin000 · 21/10/2015 21:49

Err I have itchy elbows it IS a thing I'm sure of it! Grin

KeepTheHope · 21/10/2015 22:00

I got indigestion from an icky slim fast bar yesterday and then felt quite sick for ten minutes. For a few minutes I was convinced it was a symptom. It wasn't, it was just horrible and expensive.

YouBastardSockBalls · 21/10/2015 22:14

I am totally symptom spotting, full on. 9dpo bitches!!
