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.

Ah brilliant news!

I know I shouldn't just, I feel sorry for them though after me thinking it was coming and actually they'd felt the need to go to get some tests done. I'm sure it will happen for them though, she's just used to deciding she wants something and being able to have it so I think it's come as a bit of a shock that it's not worked out that way, especially when it has for other family members. It's still relatively early days for them though.

Ain626 · 03/11/2015 20:36

Aw, I was popping in for a Lil update. Thanks for letting us know all is well Jelly ! Squeee... I'm so excited for her!

justtheonethen · 03/11/2015 21:44

Positive opk today so I dutifully leapt on dp but I've just realised that I might not have been supposed to go to dildocam appointment jizzed up to the eyeballs.....Will it matter? Blush

lildottie · 03/11/2015 22:06

Was going to post to say all good at scan and only one in there but I see youve been updated!

Will probably disappear from here now as its difficult keeping up with one Fred on my phone, let alone two! But I will pop my head in occasionally and when you need to pick my massive TTC filled brain I'm only a pm or fb message away x

lildottie · 03/11/2015 22:10

Oh and we saw heartbeat which was incredible. Think that covers the details jelly was referring to Smile

justtheonethen · 03/11/2015 22:20

lil Smile

Penguin000 · 03/11/2015 22:26

Ahh that's so lovely!!

I'm currently reading the penis beaker thread trying to figure out what's normal after...not sure I should have admit that! Ha ha tmi I want to clean up but feel I'm wasting the baby juice Grin BlushHmm.. Boak!!

I'm going to go hide now and finish the penis beaker thread

Ain626 · 03/11/2015 22:56

yay Lil seeing a heartbeat must be awesome!!!! I am super excited about your pregnancy. Grin

I have the tiniest, squintiest tinge of pink to my cm tonight. got way too excited about seeing that. I'm a tad different in that I want af to show her ugly face. it's coming up to the 3 months of nothing which is when the consultant at the hospital said to go and get some more tablets to induce af... in other news I'm pretty sure I've gained weight this week. I've been craving all the chocolate.. actually come to think of it I also have had an emotional time lately including breaking down in tears at work yesterday. I was feeling a bit rubbish, asked the site manager for a hug (we're friends) he gave me a hug and I just broke down into tears.. I think I might need a hooyah for some sort of hormone spotting!

Ain626 · 03/11/2015 23:05

Oh, the infamous penis beaker thread penguin !

my normal is a clean up with tissues or a towel, but I normally leave it 5-10 mins before clean up. I think that's pretty 'normal'. as for the baby juice I believe the actual sperm gets shot up to near where it needs to be whereas the stuff that leaks out is just the seminal fluid. you could always try for ghost jizz...

Penguin000 · 03/11/2015 23:21

Ah see how on earth could I have put that into Google to get that response Ain! That's good to know I can clean as required without ruining chances then! Hugs and hooyahs to you, we all need a good hug and cry now and then Flowers

SockQueen · 03/11/2015 23:21

Woo lil! I'm so pleased for you!

just it probably won't be an issue - certainly won't affect the images. If you were having a smear it would be different.

coribeth · 03/11/2015 23:34

That's great news Lil Grin
Nfmv after started today Although not due till 6th so much for clomid sorting out my cycle! Hmm

Illiria · 04/11/2015 02:32

Lil - so happy for you.

Cori - sorry the clomid hasn't been working out.

Feeling awful, think I'm coming down with the cold dh had last week.

MyBlackCat · 04/11/2015 08:23

lil so pleased for you x

Sorry to those whom the witch has visited

I've got HSG this afternoon, can't say I'm looking forward to it Sad

coribeth · 04/11/2015 08:41

Hmm seem to be on permanent nights at present that's probably what's playing havoc with cycle
To tired to read back so WineBrewCakeFlowers as appropriate !!

Peenut · 04/11/2015 09:06

Lil Massive whoop to you, that's such great news :)

Cori Hopefully if you give the drugs a few months they might change things? Nights is bound to mess everything up.

Penguin Ha ha! I actually was sent a link to the penis beaker fred a few years ago by a friend ... I joined this group and only realised it was the same one a while after. I should have known from all the graphic fanjo ghost jizz talk. Love it! When you read that fred out of context it sounds like a bunch of nutters, however, when you are TTC you need people you can share that stuff with!

Just I have images of a huge blob of jizz showing up on massive screens at the side of you! Perhaps junior doctors will be called in to look? However, I've had dildo cam before and it's just a sonigram type image isn't it? Sure the nurse will have seen it all before! Wink

angelazul · 04/11/2015 09:35

Great news Lil, must've been amazing to see the little heartbeat. Ain when I feel like that it usually means the witch is on her way. Cori I agree, nights probably messing up your cycle. Are you changing to days anytime soon?

Just arrived in work & reading back through your posts, laughing so much I was actually snorting!!! Think my work colleagues think I've lost the plot GrinGrinGrin

NFMV CD10 cm getting more like ewcm, time to get on it like a car bonnet Wink

SockQueen · 04/11/2015 12:10

Dildo cam done and my head is spinning - one decent sized follicle on the left ovary. Only 9mm, so the nurse reckoned it will be a few more days before ovulation. How big should it get before releasing its egg? Did an IC OPK last night and it was stronger than I've ever had before, I'd say very close to the control line. I have to have progesterone tested, but the nurse recommended waiting a bit longer than d21 as if I ovulate it'll be later than d14 (tomorrow).

This is so complicated, I might just keep shagging and hope for the best!

KeepTheHope · 04/11/2015 13:23

Sock I have no great advice but it does sound quite positive. I mean, the nurse is obviously happy you will ovulate, even if it is a bit later then expected, and the strong opk line has to be good as well. Gx for you and I agree to keep shagging just in case that egg is released in the next few days.

Nfmv: not much to be honest. Our month of shagging eod is going well so far. Only cd11 though so a long way to go yet.

I feel very down and meh about everything at the moment. Not sure it's completely to do with ttc though, work is ridiculously busy and I'm bending over backwards to help out all I can and meanwhile my boss has been a complete arse all week. In at 2 today and just dreading it. I've also been struggling to get up the last few days. Absolutely exhausted all the time. I think I just need to pull myself together a bit.

KeepTheHope · 04/11/2015 13:24

Jeez I just read that back. Sorry for the pity party! I don't even have a proper excuse!

justtheonethen · 04/11/2015 14:10

keep poor you, we all feel like that sometimes. Treat yourself well and try and get some early nights/lay ins.

sock just keep shagging!

Just had dildocam too, sonographer said she couldn't see anything obvious which is something I suppose! Only embarrassing bit was when she had to press really hard on my stomach to get a picture as apparently I had wind that side! Luckily her pressing didn't make me fart!

justtheonethen · 04/11/2015 14:57

Going to give the stork a go tonight....wish me luck!

SockQueen · 04/11/2015 14:58

Good news just - don't worry about the wind, everyone has gas in their bowels normally and it can get in the way of ultrasound (it's why you have to have a full bladder for an abdominal scan, so the ultrasound beams go through your pee rather than bowel gas). They'll have seen far worse!

Keep sorry you're feeling down. Try to get some early nights and see if it helps. Don't feel bad about moaning, it's good to get it out.

In non-fanjo-related news, I was on the radio this morning!

justtheonethen · 04/11/2015 15:26

Ooh that's exciting sock! Job related?

SockQueen · 04/11/2015 16:12

Yes, talking about the junior doctor contract. Only the local radio breakfast show, but I was still very nervous!
