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.

Welcome Angel! Boo to the witch Angry

Penguin000 · 26/10/2015 21:21

I get what you mean Keep, I'm trying hard to not look like a ttc maniac Grin dh was the one who suggested trying for another as we both have a child previously but would like one together. I however think about it 24/7 and he seems to cope fine. Snot fair!

Congratulations Kate!! How exciting!

KateBeckett · 26/10/2015 21:21

Welcome angel !

keep I know exactly what you mean. Df was like that too.

KateBeckett · 26/10/2015 21:23

Also, thank you everyone Blush

KezAgain · 26/10/2015 21:31

Welcome angel

SockQueen · 26/10/2015 22:16

Day 3 Clomid. Feeling ok so far. Which makes me worry it's not working. Confused Dildo cam appointment booked for next Weds. Having my hair cut tomorrow which I'm almost as nervous about, it looks like a very trendy place and I'm crap at hair and small talk...

pretzelpieces · 26/10/2015 23:01

keep I know what you mean. DP, like me, wanted kids for ages but when we were TTC he didn't want me to 'get all crazy about it' Hmm which is why I had to vent all most of the crazy here!

sock glad you're not having rotten side effects. Also I am putting off having my hair trimmed for exactly this reason and it's starting to look like early-Harry-Potter Hermione hair.

FuzzyOwl · 27/10/2015 00:39

Hello everyone. I stayed away for the two week wait but unsurprisingly the witch turned up as expected. This month though, it will be the one!

LondonGirl83 · 27/10/2015 09:08

Okay morning shag complete! DH asked me where in my cycle I was as if I was tricking him into dtd urgently (we are both late for work now). I told him none of his business

Sorry fuzzy the witch git you

jellypi3 · 27/10/2015 09:10

zyla i assume there's not much you can do to entice the witch to arrive when bf?

justtheonethen · 27/10/2015 10:57

Hi angel. Welcome!

zyla that is a pain, I have no advice, sorry!

Can't remember who has the newly enthusiastic dp but that's what happened with us too. I think they take a little while to catch up with the crazy!

justtheonethen · 27/10/2015 11:09

Sorry fuzzy Flowers

Well done london Star

LondonGirl83 · 27/10/2015 11:27

Doesn’t breastfeeding prevent ovulation or am I remembering that incorrectly. How easy is it to get pregnant while breastfeeding?

LondonGirl83 · 27/10/2015 11:27

Thanks just

ChatEnOeuf · 27/10/2015 11:50

Boo Fuzzy she's been messing everyone around this month.

BFing can inhibit ovulation - if you're feeding every 3-4 hours, no AF and less than 6m, it's apparently 98% effective. Drops a bit after 6m, or if you're not physically feeding - one of my friends got pregnant about 3 weeks after starting to express and give a bottle overnight.

OP posts:
ZylaB · 27/10/2015 12:50

I don't feed her between about 10pm and 6am, but still no AF! I think she wants to stay an only child hehe :)

I'm just going to start my frolic acid and then hopefully be ready to go when she does turn up.

LondonGirl83 · 27/10/2015 13:17

Chat 98% is pretty good natural birth control. I guess its nature’s way of protecting women from having too many births back to back.

angelazul · 27/10/2015 16:46

Hey all, finally read through & caught up, with quite a few giggles along the way Grin

Sorry the witch got you Fuzz it's horrible when you think this is it, the bfp, & then she rears her ugly head Flowers

Keep & Penguin dh is much the same, says it'll happen when the time's right. I, on the other hand, am obssessed a bit more impatient.

NFMV: witch being the witchiest bitchiest curse ever, the sooner she does one & shagging can recommence the better!!

Penguin000 · 27/10/2015 22:34

OK so witch has gone... This is the month for us ladies I can feel it!

Tips please? EOD, standing upside down whilst singing the hokey dokey afterwards??

Ain626 · 27/10/2015 22:36

Angela tell the witch to do one. offers chocolate
Why isn't there a chocolate emoticon?

One of my work colleagues is on mn. Hope she doesn't read this Fred!!! She would probably be able to work out who I am. As far as I know she's not ttc right now though and her hands are full with her toddler.

Nfmv: swim spermies swim... not that it'll do much good. Release an egg you silly ovaries!!!!

SW tomorrow night. Dreading it. I missed last week as had to stay late at work and I've been to a wedding and eaten out several times since my last weigh in.. will gain. But will try extra hard so bynext week I will have lost again... I hope...

KeepTheHope · 27/10/2015 22:41

I reckon that's the one penguin, I'm willing to try it anyway! After almost all of us being messed around by AF this month I'm hoping we can have a good one next month and show her who's boss. Not feeling all powerful after getting a bonus at work today for running the place for the last two weeks while the owners were on holiday.

Penguin000 · 27/10/2015 23:16

I joined sw 2 weeks ago and skipped last week as didn't follow it at all..haven't followed it this week either..whoops!

Illiria · 28/10/2015 00:56

MrIll thanks you for the award.

Glad it isn't too bad Sock are you on days now?

Welcome newbies.

I was in such a foul mood this morning, no idea why.

ZylaB · 28/10/2015 07:55

I'm doing SW too :)

Penguin000 · 28/10/2015 08:27

Man I'm so tired today. Changed my hours at work this week to have today off and I've woken up feeling crap so not a good start...
