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.

Grin thanks! Feeling rather invincible now.even though I used the kids cream. That stuff is magic chat I couldn't believe it when she said she was done, felt nothing. Did cry like a baby from minute I walked in though and then felt a right prat when it was a total non event Blush
So as I've never had one before how do I get results? Will they send to my gp as well as consultant or do I have to wait til January to find out when I see consultant again?

corgi88 · 07/12/2015 21:07

check you out just!!!! waves pompoms whoohoo!!!

coribeth · 07/12/2015 21:40

Congrats just Wine as for results they go onto a data base that your gp should have access to mine took a while to find them summit about 2 numbers instead of 1?!? But did let me know prior to consultant appt

justtheonethen · 07/12/2015 21:52

Brilliant thanks. I'll give them a call at end of the week.

SockQueen · 08/12/2015 07:13

Yay, well done just! So pleased you managed to get it done.

Catscatsandmorecats · 08/12/2015 07:34

Well done just! That is flipping brilliant Star

angelazul · 08/12/2015 09:32

Just well done on getting the blood tests done!!!

Ditsy, maybe worth a visit to GP, even if it's just to discuss your concerns & plan a way forward.

Ditsy79 · 08/12/2015 11:43

Thanks for the info re gp referral just, and well done on getting your bloods done.
angel yes, I think we will visit GP if nothing happens this month. Not sure if we're looking for assisted conception, just want to check there is nothing wrong. We're both on Conception vitamins now, and are trying to eat more healthily and lose a bit of weight (easier said than done with Xmas around the corner!).
Out of interest, what are the rest of you virioids doing with work Xmas parties and alcohol - am going to try not to go crazy, but am worried people will get suspicious (nobody really knows we are ttc).

LondonGirl83 · 08/12/2015 13:50

Well done just

I'm trying to stay positive as I think I'm stressing my DH out. He is really down on himself at the moment and I'm pretty sure this is why. He knows how hard I took the miscarriage and I think he just feels frustrated.

Crying as I right this again. God I had no idea how hard this would be and for how long a mc would impact me.

angelazul · 08/12/2015 17:25

London, I wish I had some words of comfort, but they all sound so hollow. Look after yourself & your DH Flowers xxx

Ditsy apparently alcohol can't pass into the foetus' blood stream until the placenta is established (around week 5, I think). I originally wasn't drinking, esp during twot, & was having to come up with ever more elaborate excuses Blush After I heard this, I've been more relaxed about having a few drinks, and tbh, I'm a bit calmer all round & it doesn't feel like ttc is taking over my life just so much.

justtheonethen · 08/12/2015 18:05

London be kind to yourself, no words of comfort but lots of big squeezes Flowers

ditsy ^ what angel said!

MyBlackCat · 08/12/2015 19:03

london mc is shit, I'm coming up to the second anniversary of my due date and it doesn't get easier Sad look after yourself and Mr london.

NFMJob: so being made redundant and applying for new roles. Now completed psychometric testing and 90min telephone interview today, now onto preparation for assessment day. Stressed is an understatement. Not sure I even want the job.

Should be ovulating in nxt few days. No sign of any cm yet and not even thought about shagging... There is zero chance of me getting upduffed this month Angry

Got a Christmas leaving party on Thursday, I will be getting pissed Smile

Oh no black, that sucks, good luck job hunting though Flowers. You deserve all the Wine

ChatEnOeuf · 08/12/2015 19:24

Huff.

Wine
justtheonethen · 08/12/2015 19:51

Oh chat

SockQueen · 08/12/2015 22:22

[flower] Wine Chat and London (and anyone else in need).

Root canal part 1 tomorrow morning. Shock And this friffing cold is getting worse, have got progressively snottier all through the day (this is even more deeply unpleasant than usual when wearing a surgical mask). Realy not sure what's going on with stupid ovaries this month either, still haven't had a peak on the OPKs (but have had several days of almost-but-not-quite the same colour) and temp still low, but it's CD 20 now! Confused

Ain626 · 08/12/2015 23:02

Well done on the blood test just !

And yay for the 12 week scan Lil !

Sorry I keep going mia. It's been an incredibly stressful time lately. I am however on cycle day 2!!!! For those of you who know my history this is amazing! My last period was a very light bleed at the end of august. So to have a bleed that actually requires sanitary protection... its a miracle! Woop woop. It was brought on by the norethisterone though, so not a natural one.
With all the extra stress lately though I've been comfort eating. A lot. This isn't doing my diet any good. I really need to get back on it if I want any chance of getting clomid at my next fc appointment in march..

coribeth · 09/12/2015 14:20

Nfmv Well as predicted Af was indeed screwing with me have had some light spotting today which is my usual 3 day prelude to the main event had massive row with dp last night too so not in a good mood today!

angelazul · 09/12/2015 17:18

Shit one chat WineWineWineWine

Cori gx she's not on her way.

Black & Ain sorry you're feeling so stressed atm, some Wine for both of you too.

Sock good luck with root canal tomorrow.

In such bad mood today, one of those "approach with caution days" - had a row with hubby last night, shit day at work. Think I need WineWineWine for myself seems to be a theme in this post

coribeth · 09/12/2015 18:38

Angel poor you I have a matching mood atm hope it all blows over soon and you start feeling less stressed! Thanks for the gx but not going to fool myself it's anything other than the witch as that way crazies lay!
sock I've never had a root canal but it doesn't sound good hope it all goes well gx!
ain black WineFlowers
Still not speaking to dp or anyone else I'm maybe being a little over sensitive as he has now apologized several times can't help but think that's only cos I'm not talking to him but I'm just to angry to move on right now! Angry

ChatEnOeuf · 09/12/2015 18:48

Good luck for root canal Sock, hope they're gentle.

Fabulous news Ain! Diet/drugs etc. working. You're doing really well.

Thanks, all. I think I can safely say normal service has resumed. Those 26-day cycles were as weird as I thought they were at the time.

for everyone. Help yourselves.

SockQueen · 10/12/2015 07:05

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! The dentist was a different one from the last appointment, he was very nice and quite hot and although it felt really weird it's ok now. Just need to be careful of the temporary filling. Round 2 in early January.

Work Christmas party tonight, but I'm still feeling fairly snotty, so I think I might just go for dinner and make an early escape.

LondonGirl83 · 10/12/2015 15:22

My work Christmas Party is tonight as well. I am definitely not in the mood so shall be leaving promptly after dinner around 9pm.

angelazul · 10/12/2015 18:09

The witch is on her way - spotting started, bloated, sore back, cramps & moods all over the show. She's 2-3 weeks late, but at least I've a better idea where my cycle is at. Have a wedding this weekend, going to look so bloated in my dress Angry

Enjoy the parties as much as you can Sock & London

justtheonethen · 10/12/2015 19:36

Hello all. Totally read through and now forgotten everything. Except ain and her not ridiculous cd!

I'm knackered. Fell asleep at acupuncture pretty sure I was snoring and have treated myself to a Chinese. Prawn crackers taste odd though, that's totally a symptom right? Wink
