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.

Haha! Lil I love that advice. Grin

I might buy one and get DH to buy the other for me as a Christmas present. He did ask me what I wanted this morning...

LondonGirl83 · 31/10/2015 15:39

Corgi I have had ovulation bleeding but it was just a brown smear mixed in with cm. I'm sure you are fine but go to your go. I think I am due a smear! I'll check with the doctor.

I'm in Scotland with DH and friends this weekend. If I iced when I think I did, AF is due tomorrow.

Ain626 · 31/10/2015 15:48

I just told DH your advice with Radley Lil He says he doesn't care what I do with my money, but he doesn't want me to fill up the house with bags... He may however consent to buying me another one for Christmas if I only buy one now. Grin

SockQueen · 31/10/2015 15:57

Ain I think I like the Chelsea one best, but buying both would be totally acceptable. I'm currently pondering Mulberrys (or is it Mulberries? I'm not sure when it's a proper noun!) which I had promised to myself once I passed my exams, but haven't actually braved going into the shop yet - I'm too paranoid about judgy shop assistants thinking I'm too scruffy to be in there.

lil Gx for your scan on Tues! I'm joining you in the fanjo-cam club this week, having my first Clomid follicle scan on Weds.

lildottie · 31/10/2015 16:32

That's great news sock! What day? Feels good to feel like you're taking action doesn't it!

ain one now and one as Christmas pressie sounds a good plan. Maybe get him to throw in the purse too?

5hell · 31/10/2015 16:47

Ooh pottery one is lush ain...go for it, then other in a fun colour for xmas with a contrasting purse :)

justtheonethen · 31/10/2015 23:20

Lovely bags ain, I like them all.

corgi I'm sure it's fine but make an appointment to put your mind at rest.

Got appointment for dildocam on weds.

Got all the ewcm but dp is annoying me, I'm going to have to shag him aren't I? Negative opk though...

coribeth · 31/10/2015 23:34

Ah damn it I got the crazies 7dpo and not having my usual cramps/ back pain despite having worked 50 hours in the last 4days totally a symptom! or maybe just new work shoes? Grin and totally gone off tea tasting a bit bland fancy coffee instead I totally hate coffee symptom symptom! want to eat really salty food all of a sudden and having totally random dreams last night dreamt that the powers that be where trying to put eight beds into my six bed ward only it wasn't my ward it was my old science block I was screaming at him that he was obstructing the fire exit and he would have to take the beds out only he was yelling back that they couldn't take the beds down the stairs! Woke up puzzled went to work only six beds in bay fire exit not obstructed phew! Confused can I get a hooyah over here someone please! Blush

Illiria · 01/11/2015 02:13

Lil all the best for scan.

Sock hope scan goes well and the follies are behaving.

Just what are they checking with this one?

Penguin000 · 01/11/2015 07:58

Hi sorry I fell off Fred, been redecorating all week, I'm so not a hands on person artsy person so it's been my personal hell!

I would so buy all the bags Grin

So I'm just about to sit and Google all sorts about cycles and Ttc, I have an app but my ov date seems to change every time I look at it so I'm getting confused!

Peenut · 01/11/2015 09:54

Penguin feel your pain, i hate the bit where you have to avoid painting the ceiling with the wall colour. Have concluded its much easier to pay somebody else to do it Grin

Good luck with dildo cam just and Lil I don't think I knew you were preggo - congrats!

Ain your mighty in bag/organisational frenzy made me laugh!

I'm sulking today. Yesterday I had a Halloween party and I was visited by AFs annoying mate. Spotting before her main appearance. Argh! I don't invite her to the get together! She's gone now but I know she's lurking to make a full scary Cartie style appearance. The bitch.

This always happens a few days before I'm due to come on properly and at least saves money on pregnancy tests or would do had I not been peeing on a stick when I noticed spotting. BAH!

I remember we were talking about shorter LPs ... I wonder if this affects chances of getting pregnant if my hormones kick in three days earlier than AF is likely to arrive proper? Does anyone else get this? searches wildly for explanations and diagnosis and this now replaces theory I had about DHs speed being drunk

Feeling fed up as if we try again this month my due date would be my Sister in law's wedding, and I'm bridesmaid. Probably wouldn't be pregnant anyway but would hate to miss the wedding. Feeling a month off might be a good break anyway. flops on bed and considers drinking red wine left over from last night

Wine Wine

Peenut · 01/11/2015 09:55

Sorry ain I meant night time not mighty!

Peenut · 01/11/2015 09:56

Sorry that post was full of typos! I'm sure you'll figure out what I meant! Wink

KeepTheHope · 01/11/2015 16:00

We've just got home from our weekend with family. Our friends who are also ttc came up last night too. I'm pretty certain she might be pregnant so steeling myself for that announcement. If that happens before us it will be a really tough one to deal with.

Just good luck for the dildo cam!

Lil it's nice to see you back. Gx for your scan, how exciting!

Peenut · 01/11/2015 17:54

Just Unmumsnetty hugs to you. I think hearing another friends good news, or suspecting that it's coming can be really upsetting ... it just makes it seem like it will never happen ... but it will. Biscuit I

Hope you don't mind me sharing something in light of what you've just said but I think my brain may implode if I don't ...

Can I skulk out of my corner and retract this morning's lengthy self pitying moan? I've had some, um, developments today.

I'm apparently pregnant ... apparently. According to four pissy sticks one of them quite posh. However, I was loosing blood yesterday, not today, so I have no clue if this is for real or if I've detected something I would never have known about if AF had turned up and I hadn't tested early?

AF due Tuesday. I suppose I'll see if she shows up?? Would you like to see pissy stick evidence line up? This feels a bit like one of those weird stories that you read that convince you that even when AF turns up that you might actually be pregnant, so not sure whether to be wildly excited or not.

Peenut · 01/11/2015 17:55

Sorry Just I meant hugs to Keep ... brain scramble.

pretzelpieces · 01/11/2015 18:01

pee! A lot of people have spotting and are pregnant, so I'm sending you tentative congratulations anyway. Halloween Smile

pretzelpieces · 01/11/2015 18:01

And yes of course we want to see pissy sticks Halloween Grin

Peenut · 01/11/2015 18:17

Thanks Pretzel :) I feel tentatively nuts!

The pale one is the one I did last night and then thrust into the airing cupboard in a strop when I realised I was spotting (we had guests round).

I couldn't see anything last night but then this morning there was a squinty line. I convinced myself those test strips must be wrong ... hence trip to Boots and a jibbering meeting with pharmacist who said some women have periods throughout pregnancy, bloody confusing human body!

ARGGHGHHH!

justtheonethen · 01/11/2015 18:35

pee congratulations, definitely upduffed!

KeepTheHope · 01/11/2015 18:42

Pee thank you and of course I don't mind! That's amazing news!! Congratulations, I have everything crossed for you that it's a sticky one Grin

SockQueen · 01/11/2015 18:54

Woo Peenut congratulations!

ChatEnOeuf · 01/11/2015 18:57

Hotel has wifi...is lush.

Congrats Pee!

See you Tuesday for photos lil!!

jellypi3 · 01/11/2015 19:09

congrats pee. you are most certainly upduffed. Lots of us have had bleeding in very early pregnancy, it's often either implantation bleeding (which is unlikely for you if you are getting 1-2 on a digi) or breakthrough bleeding. just take it easy anyway :)

Paige43 · 01/11/2015 19:39

Congratulations Pee! Xx
