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 understand the fetus doesn't attach to the placenta until after week 8(?) so I don't think having a few drinks today would do any harm.

Gx she stays away X

KezAgain · 24/10/2015 22:25

I'd just like to point out I'm no medical professional though and I'm oblivious to most obvious things in general day to day things never mind TTC Halloween Blush

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 22:28

Kez I'm oblivious to most things too but I'm going to take your judgement in this one.

KezAgain · 24/10/2015 22:31

Not sure if it's going to let me post this.... But here's the link to where I just read that info:

www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/pregnancy-weeks-4-5-6-7-8.aspx?tabname=Labour%20and%20birth

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 22:33

Looks good to me! I'm certain AF will appear any second but I'm glad to read this on the off chance Smile

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 22:33

The fetus is nourished by the yolk sac until week 5 I think so doesn't share blood flow with you until then.

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 22:44

I've taken ics until yesterday morning then didn't bother today because I was certain AF was about to happen. Is there a chance I got a bad batch or is she just being a bitch and being late to tease me??

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 22:46

Oops x post with kez. Enjoy your drink, hope it's your last for a while! Wasn't it honey who was convinced she wasn't so went for cocktails then got bfp? Grin

Talking about the lovely honey, she sent me her last stork. Going to try it this month but it's a bit scary. Anyone used it? My only concern is getting dp to jizz while wearing a condom. Not sure how likely that is and you obviously can't reuse! I wonder if he can't produce the goods he could jizz in a cup or something and then I could put it in?!

stork

Also worried dp might think I'm bonkers but he already looks a bit scared of my fertility obsession so not sure it matters! Grin

Just ordered these vitamins
Expect they are bollocks but my friend swears they helped her get pg so worth a try. To be honest at this point I'd drink my own urine if I heard even the slightest suggestion it would work!

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 22:47

Ics are notoriously faint even after af due so it's very possible. You might have iced bit later or implanted late so won't show til later. Gx for you

oneyorkshirepud · 24/10/2015 22:51

Keep I was so convinced that my break through bleed was AF that I got on the prosecco. Oops! Smile Now 32 weeks upduffed with a baby who is testing my pelvic floor control by punching me in the bladder - maybe this is its revenge for the glass of fizz? You'll be fine (gx the witch stays away!)

Just, most condoms have spermicide on/in them. So perhaps get DH to jizz somewhere else?! Blush

KezAgain · 24/10/2015 22:53

I've never even heard of these stork things before. What are they generally used for? I mean, why not use let him jizz in you rather than he jizz elsewhere and you insert it? Do you know what I mean?

I've heard of those fertil-aid pills before. We are currently using pregnacare - this is the second pack so far.

KezAgain · 24/10/2015 22:54

Jeez oneyorkshire 32 weeks?! That seems to have gone really fast!

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 22:58

Oneyorkshire I will take bladder kicks in return for tonight if that's the case. It will be typical that I'll punish myself for tonight then tomorrow AF will arrive with a vengeance.

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 23:05

Fuck it. I'm going to enjoy the rest of tonight and worry about it tomorrow if I need to.

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 23:10

It's not a condom condom so no spermicide, it collects it in a cap thing you insert. Think it's supposed to work by getting sperm close to the cervix (guess none falls out!) so helps with sperm count and motility issues (which dp doesn't have) and "unfavourable vaginal environment" which I rather hope I don't have but who knows.

I want to try it though. I'll only be trying once though as they are £100! Hence why want to know what to do if dp can't jizz in the condom!

pud! Wow that's gone quick! For me at least Grin. How exciting! Are you due Xmas day?

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 23:11

You don't need to worry hope, it really won't make a difference. Enjoy your drink Smile

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 23:12

I have been taking pregnacare conception ones, thought might as well try these

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 23:12

Thanks just I appreciate it Smilewill update when I have any actual news.

justtheonethen · 24/10/2015 23:16

Got everything crossed for you.

pretzelpieces · 24/10/2015 23:26

just Flowers Sorry about the witch and good luck with the stork.

KeepTheHope · 24/10/2015 23:27

Just I don't actually know for certain but I'm sure if he jizzed wherever then as long as you put it where it needs to be it would have the same effect. I could be proved wrong though.

Illiria · 25/10/2015 00:21

Just have you tried these? They are intended for the witch but some people have found using these after dtd or jizz in it plus some preseed has resulted in bfp. www.amazon.co.uk/Instead-SoftCups-Feminine-Protection-Menstrual/dp/B001L4APNQ

I actually use them for the witch now as it reduces the number of days I get cramps

Ain626 · 25/10/2015 00:39

pud !!! 32 weeks already!!!!

ill good luck!

Sorry to those who af has turned up for.

I'm feeling really disheartened again today. Seems to have been newborns/young babies everywhere I went today...

I also have a really annoying cough. I actually feel pretty okay in myself so I shouldn't complain.. but it's stopping me (and DH) sleeping properly... still managed to dtd this morning, but it's not attractive or sexy and is driving us both crazy.

coribeth · 25/10/2015 01:11

Wine for all those caught by the witch gx for next cycle!
corgi my dp and I dtd at least twice a day he has had two sa and both showed a really good count and excellent morphology his motility however was slightly low not sure if that is a result of dtd so often or other factors before the second one he reduced his alcohol intake and started taking wellman and it did improve so he doesn't drink at all now! Ha just read this back and realised it doesn't help answer the question at all! Grin

honeysucklejasmine · 25/10/2015 04:00

Just we didn't use as directed. Most of the testers, us included, found the sheath too small and uncomfortable. Also by the time it's on, the tail of the cup pokes you in the cervix! I just got DH to deposit in the cup then used the applicator.

And yes, i did have a weekend drinking cocktails before getting bfp on Monday. Angry
