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 Kitten = 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 Something = 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 Lemon = 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.

BFN this morning. It was what my head was expecting but I am still gutted. Two BFPs then a BFN is hard to deal with. My Dr is being amazing though, she wants to check me over and rule out infections so DH and I can get back on with DTD. DH is also being lovely, he's sad too.

I am working from home today and tomorrow fortunately so I can bum about in pajamas and be miserable whilst still getting stuff done.

chat do you want to come and make me waffles?!

gx for everyone else POAS today

FeatheredTail · 26/11/2015 11:02

Welcome home chat! DH got me a waffle maker for Christmas a few years ago...at the time I was Hmm but, sweet mother of god, it's been a revelation! Saturday mornings rule with that thing!

Just so sorry you're having a shitty time of it. The chicken deaths sound really traumatic, I feel for you. Hold out for a surprise on your anniversary - you never know. That said, get a bottle of something nice and fizzy chilling in the fridge and be prepared to drink it to yourself, in a passive aggressive fashion if dp has indeed forgotten.

FuzzyOwl · 26/11/2015 12:07

Welcome back Chat. Glad you made it safely.

AF arrived this morning so it is on to cycle 4 for me. I have decided to stop using Pregnancare and just stick with folic acid, as I am certain it makes me feel nauseous which then unnecessarily gets my hopes up. It means next AF is due on 27 Demember but I am going to have a FRER Christmas present to myself and test a couple of days beforehand, even though I know I shouldn't.

ChatEnOeuf · 26/11/2015 15:07

I'll make anyone a waffle :) Sorry for your BFN Cats, small blessings you can stay in your PJs Flowers

Sorry you've got the broomstick at your place Fuzzy. It would be a lovely Christmas present. You going to wrap it up or is that just too weird? I've only ever taken frolic, can't get along with vitamin tablets.

Hope your DH doesn't let you down Just

angelazul · 26/11/2015 17:29

Hugs for Black, Cats & Fuzzy Flowers

Welcome back Chat, have to admit the waffles wouldn't do much for me, the chocolate is another story lol ChocolateChocolateChocolate

Not much to update, still no sign of the witch, very light spotting last few days now stopped. A few PMS symptoms on & off for about the past week, though a lot less than I would normally get. Latest in a long line of BFNs today, feeling pretty fed up to be honest, emotions up & down like a rollercoaster, lost count of the amount of tears over the last few days. Pity party for one here Sad

CountryGal4 · 26/11/2015 18:26

Crap sticks ... Meant to post the last note on grads. Sorry am useless!!

corgi88 · 26/11/2015 18:53

sorry viroids just catching up.

just that is so traumatic your poor chickens!!!! that happened to us when I was little - I had a pet chicken called (imaginatively) Dog-Chicken, because she would come when called and walk to heel.... anyway a fox got into the coop one night and we found her on the fence shivering with a broken leg :( my dad had to shoot her. It was awful! so unmumsnetty hugs, all the flowers and wine!! and hope your DP has arranged something nice. Agree with feathered's plan of something nice and fizzy chilling. dribbles at thought of prosecco Also, gx the acupuncture works!

Welcome home Chat! wafflemakers are the best! I'm obsessed with mine

justtheonethen · 26/11/2015 20:17

Hi viroids, Flowers and hugs to the fed up viroids.

Just had acupuncture, it hurt but hopefully it will do something.

corgi it's hideous, poor you too Sad

I've got a bottle of v nice champagne in the fridge, dp's mum brought it round yesterday to cheer me up after the chickens, she's so sweet! Smile

justtheonethen · 26/11/2015 20:18

I'm taking all the supplements, if there's a snake oil out there I'll buy it Confused

CountryGal4 · 26/11/2015 21:08

You on zinc and vit c?

angelazul · 26/11/2015 21:53

Corgi due last Fri/Sat so almost a week late. Been using ic & tescos tests. Tbh, I don't think I'm pg, but I just wish the witch would hurry up & make an appearance so I can move on to the next cycle. Had a nice bath & a v large glass of wine, so feeling a bit more positive.

justtheonethen · 26/11/2015 21:54

Yep, zinc and vit c and fertilaid and coq-10 because my friend thought they helped her. I'll hang my head in shame, I'm desperate.

justtheonethen · 26/11/2015 21:56

Hugs angel, sorry you're getting messed about. That's awful to get your hopes up. As they say though, you're not out yet. Are you sure of when you iced? Sorry if you've said already.

justtheonethen · 26/11/2015 22:50

Welcome back chat! Missed that! Hurrah, hope you had a curry! How you feeling being back?

Ditsy79 · 27/11/2015 06:38

AF due today but not arrived yet - just done a test, BFN Sad Oh well, at least I can have vino this weekend.
just am going to go an buy loads of vitamins for me and dh today.
Chin up angel - horrible when AF messes you about.

CountryGal4 · 27/11/2015 07:09

Don't be silly. I went on the zinc and vit c. Those 1000mg tablets are huuuuuuuuge haha

angelazul · 27/11/2015 09:13

Just I thought I had iced about 3 weeks ago now, which would've fitted in with when the witch was due. I don't do opks or temps so can't be sure, just basing it on symptoms I normally get.

I've been taking the boots pre conception multivitamins, they're alright, but they do kinda makes me feel a bit constipated at times Blush Heard that's quite normal for multivitamins though.

MyBlackCat · 27/11/2015 15:18

Viroids...... I've had an attack of the crazies over the last 36 hours Shock after announcing the arrival of the witch on Wednesday with the usual spotting, I had nothing more. Fully expected the arrival of the witch yesterday morning but nothing. Went on wipe watch for rest of the day - nothing. Started to hear the viroid whispers of 'implantation bleed' started to actually believe this might be it.... pregnancy can happen. Boobs were killing. My sensible voice was telling me not to be so stupid, it can't possibly happen.... went to bed last night still nothing, woke at 4.30am this morning, should I go and check, 5.15am I did, still nothing, the crazies in my head started thinking about possible scan dates, all the while my boobs hurt like crazy. Up at 6.30am nothing.... Drive to work ready to deliver a 90 minute presentation then bam she arrives Angry not content with fucking with my head for the past two days she has bought with her the worst cramps ever, I got through the presentation but they are so bad I've come home from work.

It's the hope you get that kills me, and by now I should have learnt that I have no hope, so fucking pissed off with myself for having a bit of belief, if only for a few hours Sad

Enjoying cuddles with my furbaby and feeling hopelessly sorry for myself.

Sorry for the indulgent rant, as you were.......

Catscatsandmorecats · 27/11/2015 15:36

black, angel & ditsy sorry you have been messed about or are still being messed with. The witch playing games does nothing for ones sanity. Flowers to you all.

black I hope your furbaby is providing plenty of cuddles.

I had never heard the constipation thing about multivits - that might explain a few things! I have just bought the ones DH has to take too though so I can't stop taking them now I have forced him to take them. I think the disappointment of the BFP turning into a BFN has made him humour me.

I will be raising one of my many Wine to all you viroids later.

oneyorkshirepud · 27/11/2015 16:07

Oh Black that is proper shit. Sad Glad you have your furbaby for cuddles. Have a whole load of Wine too.

angelazul · 27/11/2015 16:21

Black sorry she's messed you about too. You're so right, it's the hope that kills you, I've had my hopes dashed so many times this week Angry

Still no sign of the witch, no PMS, no idea what the hell is going on, but it's Friday & hubby is off on a stag weekend, so I plan on rather a lot of wine & chocolate in front of the telly WineChocolate

Happy weekend vidroids Grin

SockQueen · 27/11/2015 17:09

Flowers Black and anyone else got by the witch/BFN this week. Also for just and the poor chickens

Not much news from me, started cycle 2 of Clomid and scan next Weds. Central heating has broken so the house is freezing, we booked an engineer to come out today but they didn't show up. However, as the heating randomly started working for an hour or so overnight, stupid DH then told them not to bother coming. And I'm not sure that was the right thing to do...

angelazul · 27/11/2015 17:17

On the subject of multivitamins, 90 pregnacare vitamins on sale atm for £13 on Amazon as part of their Black Friday deals
