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.

pud hahaha you wee loon! I am indeed testing tomorrow though don't have a good feeling, the skittletits have kicked in! dear god my boobs!

chat that is beyond enraging; are you planning to complain or is it just the way things are over there? because that is most certainly not on. WineFlowersCake etc

Tink sorry about the witch, that bloody bitch. huh.

weather grim. sat by fire in PJs thinking about wine

corgi88 · 12/11/2015 18:22

also cori no way could I do my own bloods! eeeee. am too much of a wimp. though I don't really enjoy blood being taken and my veins are shit after chemo... maybe I should just learn to do my own, I've spent long enough poking my arms!

justtheonethen · 12/11/2015 18:28

All this blood test talk is making me feel faint totally didn't manage mine this month which I'm annoyed with myself about

chat that's horrendous, hugs for you.

tink that's gutting, how awful to be a week late Flowers

Good luck for tomorrow corgi

justtheonethen · 12/11/2015 18:30

If I missed anyone's news it's because I skipped over the blood test talk!

ChatEnOeuf · 12/11/2015 18:32

Ah, Tink that sucks. The fecker has been messing everyone around this month. I was also several days late, but in she swooped.

Nope, Corgi - that's life here. They could have been a little more pleasant about it, I know they still need paying but there's more than one way to go about these things. My preferred method of demanding money from bereaved parents would be to send a letter saying they were sorry that Tiny died, then to say that they would wait until all services had submitted their accounts before sending one bill, which is likely to be in x weeks. And while we're at it, is there an insurance company we should speak to instead?

That said, our insurers have been lovely and are calling the hospitals to make sure there's no more mail coming. Is one of many things the NHS does that's completely unappreciated - until it's gone.

Sock - yep: straight blades and little people are my bread and butter. Is it bronch season already? Seems to come around quicker every year.

Chat, how horrible, they could try to be a little more sensitive, Flowers for you.

Tink sorry the witch got you, she's such a bitch.

All the chat about taking bloods is making me feel a bit sick tbh. I can't look at needles at all, can't imagine how some of you ladies do your own Shock

Think we overdid it with the shagging last week, ended up with uti this week (sorry tmi), so been celibate all week. Had spotting Tues & Wed, so could've iced this week, instead of last week like I thought Angry

ZylaB · 12/11/2015 21:11

Not me chat, I've got as far as ordering my uber frolics, but no go ahead to Js for another month until consultant gives me the ok! Still just lurking, have ordered some ICs today though, you know..for if AF ever wants to come back :)

ZylaB · 12/11/2015 21:13

Oh, and chat that mail is awful! I want to go slap someone on your behalf!

jellypi3 · 12/11/2015 21:17

Those of you wimping out at blood tests, so far this pg I've had 15...

You will learn to love them!

justtheonethen · 12/11/2015 21:32

Not helpful really jelly if I'm honest!

justtheonethen · 12/11/2015 21:33

angel ouchy! Flowers for your fanjo

jellypi3 · 12/11/2015 21:50

Sorry just! Blush

MyBlackCat · 12/11/2015 21:57

tink that is such a shitty experience Thanks

And yours too chat

I'm happy to start a new thread - I've not got upduffed with anyone else doing one so who knows what might happen GrinGrinGrin

Any suggestions for the title??

I've had wine tonight - 2 large glasses - oops ConfusedConfused

oneyorkshirepud · 12/11/2015 22:10

15 Jelly?!? I've had 2! Think that is more normal for those of you worrying!

pretzelpieces · 12/11/2015 22:16

I think I've had about 5

coribeth · 13/11/2015 05:43

Well all kicked off over here hospital went on red alert for beds so all our lovely surgical patients got shipped off to the private suite not that they were at all upset then they filled our beds with medical patients was filling some paperwork out when heard one of the women yelling hey fuck face and my colleague running yelling phone security she's going to batter me at which point said pt snatched hole punch and started hitting health care with it managed to get it off her and rescued healthcare when she started squaring up to another pt then took a hostage and locked her in the bathroom with her security finally arrived then had to break door down had to call families in staff from next ward have abandoned there ward to help calm ours down took ten of us to pin her down to sedate her now spending time writing incident forms up why is it always my night shifts!? Confused day shift will be well happy whole ward was up so washed dressed did beds they are now eating very early breakfast think I should give up doing overtime ! Hmm
sock nine attempts I would seriously be kicking off if someone was that incompetent with a needle anywhere near me! I am very good at bloods and cannula insertion even if I do say so myself! Blush

honeysucklejasmine · 13/11/2015 06:02

Blimey Cori! Must be so frustrating having to treat people when they are such a giant twat. Well done you and your colleagues for getting it under control.

jellypi3 · 13/11/2015 07:31

pud my local trust must be vampires in secret, they seem to take great pleasure in sticking needles in me. Ive had 2 letters asking me to repeat blood tests too, I just chucked them away. I also have bloods done at each appointment for the pre eclampsia trial I am doing (so that accounts for 4 of them).

Wow cori...Does the patient have mh problems? That's intense

angelazul · 13/11/2015 07:35

Thanks Just, was fun at the time Wink but obvs not now

Jeez Cori that sounds like such a nightmare, def deserve Wine now

I hope its more like 2 or 5 blood tests rather than the 15 Jelly has had Hmm

ChatEnOeuf · 13/11/2015 08:35

Cori that reminds me of the many reasons I didn't like general adult medicine. Locum shifts never go well for me either. Or swaps. Never do either if I can help it, it's not fair on the rest of the team!

Black, well volunteered! No clue on a title. Smutty poetry or in-jokes from the last Fred are my usual go-to ideas :)

I had about 12 sets of bloods done last time around (c40Euro a pop), they're a bit obsessed with toxo here so they test every month, and I had loads at the end looking for causes for Tiny's size. Still they managed to miss the (potential) diagnostic one, though. Think most folks get booking bloods, 12 weeks, 28 weeks and 36 if Rh-. Plus extra if you get complicated at any point.

coribeth · 13/11/2015 09:04

jelli no not mh issues as such it's basically all because the lady loves....alcohol lol gotta love detoxers
chat I despise adult gen med if I wanted to come into work and get abused everyday I would have become medical nurse I'm a surgical nurse cos I don't! Tbh it is getting ridiculous the amount of gen med pts we have everyday now time to get another job me thinks! Grin have applied for a practice nurse job so gx for that!

KeepTheHope · 13/11/2015 10:47

Wow cori that sounds like one hell of a night you had there! WineBrew, whichever you prefer! Personally, after that, I'd go for the wine. Lots of wine.

corgi88 · 13/11/2015 11:02

Bah a BFN this morning. Not sure I could have shagged anymore this month so not sure what my body is doing wrong! Grrr. Oh well can have a big fat gin and tonic tonight. Yayyy

MyBlackCat · 13/11/2015 12:05

Wow felt the pressure doing this... but the new thread is HERE

Sorry Corgi Flowers enjoy the Wine

Remember to fill this one up first..

MyBlackCat · 13/11/2015 12:08

I had to google words that rhymed with luck - was tempted to use the line: we rub the grads bumps for luck whilst enticing our miroids to fuck Grin

But I bottled it and went a bit American with schmuck
