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.

Hope you're okay cori Flowers

black that's awful and you're so right, it's the hope that kills you. Massive unmumsnetty hug for you, and Wine, lots of Wine

Nothing doing here, dp going away today til weds so I'm pretty sure we are out this month Sad

justtheonethen · 29/11/2015 12:39

Well I might be in with a chance yet, just got the strongest opk I've ever had! Normally get a slow build up of lines darkening but had nothing yesterday then bam this today!
Hoping that last night and this morning will do the trick Grin

justtheonethen · 29/11/2015 12:40

Look at this bad boy! Maybe acupuncture has done something, it's so dark!

angelazul · 29/11/2015 14:34

Cori hope you're OK Flowers

Good luck just

Nothing much to update, cd35 & still no sign of the witch. Another bfn with fmu yesterday, with frer. I guess I already knew I wasn't pg, but I'm certain about it now. Emotions much more settled than they were earlier in the week, so maybe the spotting was the witch as someone suggested (sorry can't remember who).

No idea if/when to expect ice, so I think we'll take a more relaxed approach this month, & just shag when we feel like it.

justtheonethen · 29/11/2015 15:16

Sorry angel that's so disappointing. Hugs to you

MyBlackCat · 29/11/2015 16:27

Get shagging just - really hope it's your month Grin

Sorry angel have some Chocolate and keep on shagging too

And cori keep on shagging too Grin

Oh well, AF has arrived today. Kinda knew I wasn't pregnant, but was still hopeful. Bought me and DH some 'conception vits' today, thought it would be worth a try. Back to j-shagging by the end of the week!

justtheonethen · 29/11/2015 19:08

I hope so too but with dp away until Wednesday it's not massively likely. Dtd last night and this morning but probably not enough.

Sorry ditsy Chocolate

Ditsy79 · 29/11/2015 19:33

Thanks for the choc just!
Fingers crossed that it will work for you this month despite dp being away.

Viriods, what a lot of disappointment for everyone over the last few days, I hope you are all feeling a bit better this evening. And enjoying all the Wine if you are able.

just great OPK! I hope your shagging efforts are rewarded Smile

Js ing got a little waylaid last night with DS projectile vomiting every half hour overnight. Fortunately he is fine now so fingers crossed he stays that way and we can get back to it. This week has been a toughy, I'm looking forward to the next one!

justtheonethen · 29/11/2015 20:17

True black! Ill try and be optimistic

Hope your ds is better soon cats

Ain626 · 29/11/2015 22:56

Sorry to hear about your chickens just but yay for a dark opk. Is it tomorrow your anniversary?

chat did you say you were back in the UK? Grin

Unmumsnetty hugs for all the viroids that af is messing around.

I'm not really doing well with tracking time at the min. It feels like weeks since I last posted though I'm sure it's only been a few days.. its been a long old week!!! Mostly because my mood has been terrible. Like crying on my way to work not wanting to face the day terrible. I actually read the leaflet that comes with my norethisterone tablets.. basically says not to take if you have depression as it can make it worse. Now, as a general rule I'm mostly okay these days, but the last week I've been the worst I've been in a while. Little light bulb moment, maybe the two are related! Anyway, I've only got a couple more days of it left so just got to grin and bear it a bit longer I suppose. At least I'm better at coping with bouts of depression now compared to my younger self.

coribeth · 29/11/2015 23:20

Thanks for the Flowers lovely viroids I'm ok thanks well ish just got a bit of a virus which is playing havoc with my heart rate didn't really want to take the tablets they prescribed nurse thing I know what they do! but have relented and agreed to half a dose Hmm

just that opk is amazing hope that u have a super sperm winging its way to that egg! I have given up testing this month either I iced early or not at all! Confused

SockQueen · 30/11/2015 12:14

Hoping to ice in the next couple of days - scan on Weds but OPKs starting to get darker yesterday. Of course I'm on sodding nights again, so fitting shagging in around that (plus picketing tomorrow after my shift) is going to be challenging.

LondonGirl83 · 30/11/2015 18:40

I’m back from the US! I went home for Thanksgiving but its nice being back in London.

Sorry for all the BFNs and just what happened to your chicken is horrendous. All of this waffle talk is making me want to buy a waffle maker.

So, DH wasn’t in the mood to shag on Saturday morning as we planned and then was too tired when we landed in the US Saturday night (last week not this Saturday just gone). I wanted to kill him as I ovulated that night so it was my most fertile day! Anyway, we shagged about 36 hours before so we are still in it but I’d have felt much better about it if we’d DTD one more time pre-ovulation. I’ve been so cross we haven’t DTD in a week (though to be fair, I’ve also thrown my back out somehow. Back ache and constipation (I’m assuming from the vitamins) doesn’t exactly make me feel sexy!

I think I am trying too hard- no booze, no chocolate, no coffee, etc makes me want to kill everyone. I’ve told DH that if I’m not upduffed this month I am taking December off. I want to have fun with my friends while I still can and eat pudding and get wasted! AF due Friday or Saturday. Tomorrow I’ll be 10 days post ovulation but I don’t want to test early as now I know the waiting game on the otherside of a BFP is even harder than the TWT!

MyBlackCat · 01/12/2015 18:27

Welcome home london

It's very quiet round here at the moment - is everyone shagging? Wink

ChatEnOeuf · 01/12/2015 18:45

Hello! I'm back online :)

GX things have worked out okay London, I'm due the same time as you, hoping for a double celebration. Either way I will enjoy Christmas. Will POAS if I'm still in and I've found my sticks by Monday.

Sock how do you feel about the 11th hour call-off? I'm so annoyed he left it so late.

Ain lovely, I'm sorry you're feeling so low. Good in a way that you can blame the drugs and see a way through.

Tink where are you?? Still barred?

Hope you're feeling better Cori - take those drugs!

NFMUnpacking: playroom, kitchen and DD''s bedroom are completely done. My bedroom almost there and the rest of the house looks like a hurricane hit it. Marvellous Grin

CountryGal4 · 01/12/2015 19:04

That is a stonking opk! You still temping just?

Welldone on all the unpacking chat. I'm eating a waffle as we speak to congratulate you Grin

justtheonethen · 01/12/2015 19:17

Yes where is tink?

I can't find my thermometer so no, but I AM going to go for my day 21 blood test on Monday.

Good work unpacking chat Grin

I want a waffle Envy

CountryGal4 · 01/12/2015 19:27

I have three left and they're covered in chocolate.... See you in a couple of hours?

justtheonethen · 01/12/2015 20:13

Perfect, I've got some alcohol free mulled wine here don't ask that ill heat up.

I'm feeling blue, don't know why. Feeling so fed up of ttc. I think I might take December off of opks/timed shagging/temping (if I ever find my cocking thermometer)/spending all money on vitamins and acupuncture etc.

I'm really undecided about something I've been invited to on Sat
It will be a major bender and despite normally being an advocate for not worrying as you don't share blood with a baby til well after you find out I'm having a wobble. I kind of want to hibernate and give it the best shot
And before anyone suggests going and taking it easy: not the kind of friends who wouldn't find that weird/I have no self control.

I'm.being a dick aren't I?

CountryGal4 · 01/12/2015 20:26

My advise go out and get bloody wankered. You sound like you need to let your hair down

MyBlackCat · 01/12/2015 20:43

2nd vote for getting wankered just, I plan to do just that a few times this month Grin
