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.

Pma cats, go for it. . Glad you're all feeling better.

Think lil has her 12 week scan tomorrow, squee!

Me and dp made up shagged so harmony restored. Wasn't even a row, just both tired and narky. Felt a bit of a prat today, was like a vicious bout of pmt, I knew I was being over sensitive but couldn't stop Blush

I'll swap you some for a waffle chat. Not sure I've ever had a waffle actually but can't imagine why!

Super excited about wine tasting, I'm going to get wrecked. Bit of an awkward one though as just found out one of our friends has broken up with long term girlfriend, but we aren't supposed to know. Hopefully he brings it up early so I don't put my foot in it when the wine has loosened my tongue.

Had acupuncture again, it bloody hurt, should it hurt? Confused

justtheonethen · 03/12/2015 21:06

Ooh cori, this sounds exciting. You might have missed the surge? Can you not ice on Clomid? Surely that would guarantee it? Sorry if I'm totally wrong.

coribeth · 03/12/2015 22:22

I suppose anything is possible just when I had my scan first cycle I was indeed icing so no reason it should stop working however as I said have never felt less pg so am sure I'm just late probs as not been to well if af hasn't arrived by Monday then I may test but I'm pretty sure af will have arrived by then!Sad

justtheonethen · 03/12/2015 23:01

Be positive cori, I'll keep my gx for you. Your incredible shagging efforts deserve to be repaid Grin if I've remembered correctly that it's you having an eye watering amount!

coribeth · 04/12/2015 06:26

Haha yeah we do take jsing quite seriously Grin

Catscatsandmorecats · 04/12/2015 06:36

Gx for you too cori, it does sound like your efforts could have paid off. I totally understand your hesitation to test though. I can't tell anymore if I have iced or not either (no sticks or temping, yet) but I have managed to get pg three times now with that being the case. I'm not good at staying pg but that is irrelevant - not knowing if you have iced doesn't necessarily matter Smile

just good to hear you and DP shagged and made up. You shouldn't feel a part, there is nothing worse than TTC to really mess up your hormones and send you a bit bonkers. Still very impressed with you having acupuncture, I think I'd be sick!

Some shagging did occur last night, hooray!

CountryGal4 · 04/12/2015 06:54

You've never had a waffle?!?!??

cats bare in mind as you've been ill that could well delay icing so def keep shagging past the weekend

SockQueen · 04/12/2015 07:11

Gx for you cori - both for your health in general and for your heroic JS efforts paying off!

Got the cape on unexpectedly last night, though OPKs still not peaking as I was expecting them too. I think my Ovia is going to get confused.

fruitlovingmonkey · 04/12/2015 08:44

Hello viroids!
Gx Cori, hope the bitch stays away. I didn't think I was pg when I got my bfp, sometimes lack of symptoms is a symptom.
Just I have acupuncture and it doesn't hurt! Occasionally one of the needles might sting a bit (usually in my wrist) so I tell him and he takes it out and does another. Definitely speak up if it's painful.
Enjoy your wine tasting!

LondonGirl83 · 04/12/2015 14:03

Hello viroids-- I am 99% sure I'm out for this month. My temp has dropped this morning and I'm due AF today or tomorrow so the temp drop makes sense. I tested yesterday (BFN) so now its just a waiting game.

I am having a splitting headache though which is crippling me. I just want to crawl in bed and sleep which is unusual for pre-AF. It might be stress rather than hormones.

GX for those of you still in it.

lildottie · 04/12/2015 14:29

Hi viroids
Just wanted to pop in and let you know I had my 12week scan today and my bean looks like an actual baby! I know its hard when others get pg and move on but it dies happen, keep the faith. Science and medicine are amazing these days.

justtheonethen · 04/12/2015 16:52

Yes lil! I'm so pleased for you, and you do give me hope. Hurrah for littledot Star

I'm a total mess of crazy these days, lucky dp!

What's everyone up to tonight? I'm going to have a quiet one in preparation for wineathon tomorrow Grin that said I do fancy a drink.

LondonGirl83 · 04/12/2015 18:01

Washing my hair (fun)

lil that's amazing! So glad everything is going well!

MyBlackCat · 04/12/2015 18:25

Great news lil Star

I'm home alone tonight - well with the furbaby. Plan to watch TV and try and de-stress from job related shit. Had to cancel my weekend plans to visit a friend on the south coast to focus on said job related shit so a bit pissed off Sad

coribeth · 04/12/2015 19:13

Quiet one for me just sofa and I'm a celebrity due to dp not letting me do anything due to dizziness!
Lil glad to hear all well with scan Star

justtheonethen · 04/12/2015 19:19

Boo black that's no fun Flowers

ChatEnOeuf · 04/12/2015 19:21

Catching up on Masterchef here tonight

Just - even more reason for you to come visit!

Lil I'm so, so pleased for you guys. Gingers crossed it will be a very boring and uneventful next six months for you.

SockQueen · 04/12/2015 20:14

Yay lil, delighted to hear from you!

No big plans this evening - feeling sorry for myself with stupid tooth, and I think I've got a lurgy as well. Also don't appear to be icing, despite this being later in the cycle than when I thought I did last month, and the scan looking better (apparently) than last time. Dunno what's going on there.

Need to go Christmas shopping tomorrow as well - eek!

lildottie · 04/12/2015 20:30

Thanks everyone, so pleased to finally be at this stage!

justtheonethen · 04/12/2015 21:57

Poor sock Flowers, if you are ill that could delay icing. Don't stress, just keep shagging Wink

Catscatsandmorecats · 05/12/2015 06:21

Flowers to black, London, cori and sock, I hope a nights sleep has releived the stress or made you feel a bit better at least.

lil so lovely to hear a success story, congratulations on your scan and thank you for saying hello.

country and just I had no idea illness could delay icing. We've got the week off next week so there will definitely be shagging after the weekend regardless.

Got the cape on at 4.30 this morning Grin

coribeth · 05/12/2015 08:29

Star cats impressive effort!
Today I will be going out for brunch with my ex husband whilst we stage an intervention of my 17 year olds recently wayward behaviour tbh I could think of much more fun stuff to do and am not really looking forward plus feeling slightly sick probably af on route so the thought of sitting in a restaurant totally unappealing Hmm

pretzelpieces · 05/12/2015 11:29

Hope it goes well cori

Sorry you've been poorly sock

Catscatsandmorecats · 05/12/2015 11:42

Good luck cori I hope it goes OK Flowers

coribeth · 05/12/2015 12:39

Well that was suitably awkward although hopefully dd may just hopefully behave for a little while at least
In other news dp is taking me on cruise around the Caribbean for my fortieth never been on a cruise or to Caribbean so very excited! Grin
