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.

sidles in, whistles casually

get another frer whilst you're at it and do it now

sidles out

KeepTheHope · 06/11/2015 20:59

Thanks pretzel, just and black. I'll start with tonnes of water I think and maybe look at the satchet things and see how I go. Delaying AF sounds like all the crazies would happen!

Ill I can definitely see a faint line even without making the pic bigger. Absolutely everything crossed for you.

lildottie · 06/11/2015 22:09

Oops I had it wrong way round in my head! It is positive lol dof you do another today sky? Still positive or lighter? Seems odd to be positive of follicle only 9mm

lildottie · 06/11/2015 22:11

I obv meant sock not sky! Dear godim losing it!

SockQueen · 06/11/2015 22:16

It's lighter today. Makes no sense. The best explanation I can think of is that I'm making enough LH for the OPKs but not for my ovaries to actually work properly. Temping so far unhelpful. Will just carry on shagging, see what the prog test shows and if AF arrives I'll ask the clinic what to do next.

coribeth · 06/11/2015 22:34

sock when I went back for second dildocam she said my follies where all still dead small I was gutted which obs showed on my face cos she was like hang on ill just try summit she did a trans abdo scan and found a massive on she couldn't see with the dildocam so they are not fool proof she just might of missed a more mature one! Hmm

pretzelpieces · 06/11/2015 22:50

ill even I can see something on that! Shock Everything crossed for you.

fruitlovingmonkey · 06/11/2015 22:52

Looks positive ill, all my gingers are crossed for a nice clear line in the morning.

SockQueen · 06/11/2015 23:09

Don't say things like that cori or I'll totally be sneaking the ultrasound machine off to the doctors' office for a play next week... Shock

Ain626 · 07/11/2015 00:20

ooh.. stumbled back in at exciting times!

will be checking in tomorrow too to see if there's an update from ill Grin I have everything crossed for you my lovely.

nfmv: for the past few days cramping and what looks like ever so slightly pink tinged cm.. probably nothing, but I want something exciting to happen. lost a pound at sw this week (did I post this already? I can't remember!) need to try harder this week as I've been letting myself eat too much rubbish as I've been feeling ill. have a really sore throat at the min so not much chance to eat (hopefully will work in my favour) and means no bj's for DH (he doesn't get them often anyway as we're ttc, lol).

ill is in America I've just remembered so she's probably not up yet Blush

pretzelpieces · 07/11/2015 10:55

Oh yeah just! Blush We've got ages to wait!

Peenut · 07/11/2015 11:03

Darn it, they are a few hours behind aren't they?

Anyone else due to POAS to keep us entertained this Saturday morning? I've got work to do so have come to a cafe in town to make it seem nicer. I want a cappuccino as we got a 3am phone call from DH's mum to say her husband fell down the stairs and needed to go to A&E! (If someone calls you at 3am it's never good news.) He's fine but has no recollection of what happened! Eeek. Very scary as could have been very serious, they are a big stair case.

Anyway ... Need coffee but I don't want to risk a coffee shop one ... Surely they are mega strong? I'm finding this being newly upduffedvery weird, as mostly feel very normal. Bit like its not really happening?! inhales fresh coffee aroma longingly

justtheonethen · 07/11/2015 11:47

Just ask for a one shot pee
Hope he's ok, how scary.

Illiria · 07/11/2015 12:27

Sorry guys we are 8 hours behind you. Well the cat woke me up at 4am so did the test, will let dh sleep in. Went to bed at 7.30pm last night as was so tired. I have never got a positive on frer. Only 13dpo so going to wait till actually late before I tell RE.

Peanut - sorry to hear that, maybe he slept walked and that's why he can't remember it. My brother almost fell down the stairs sleep walking.

Illiria · 07/11/2015 12:34

You should be fine, but if you are worried ask for half a shot in a latte. My RE promised me I could have coffee, obvs after the first iui failed I panicked and gave up, I even switched to decaf tea. Hell this month I tried even giving up chocolate, that lasted three days and I was almost in tears by the end of it. Turns out I really am addicted to chocolate.

justtheonethen · 07/11/2015 12:38

Yes!!!! Congratulations! Super pleased for you

KeepTheHope · 07/11/2015 12:41

Eee ill that's exciting! I know you're not feeling a bit tentative but congratulations! Beauty of a line!
