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.

So I was just crouched down looking for something at work and fell backwards onto my bum. Baby will be ok right? Just need a bit of reassurance. It's been about half hour and I now have a slight soreness on the right hand side of my pelvic area but I think I'm jut overthinking it and it's nothing I wouldn't have had anyway. I realise this is probably stupid and trivial I'm just overthinking it a bit - it's my first real worry!

KeepTheHope · 18/12/2015 19:58

Sorry I posted on the wrong thread!!

justtheonethen · 18/12/2015 20:39

Don't worry keep, baby is nicely nestled in.

So now I'm worrying that my blood results are going to come back showing something awful as I shouldn't be having an lh surge during my period. Google has scared me that this could mean I pcos or premature ovarian failure. Stop me googling!

CountryGal4 · 18/12/2015 20:47

Back away from the computer.... Back away from google. This is af haze talking. You are a sensible person (most of the time) who doesn't need crazy google findings to try and rationalise.

KeepTheHope · 18/12/2015 21:00

Thanks just, sensible head was telling me that!

Step way from Dr Google. Nothing good can come of it and there's no point worrying yourself before you have any results. They may well come back fine.

justtheonethen · 18/12/2015 21:35

Thanks viroids Smile

justtheonethen · 18/12/2015 23:13

Watching secret life of 5 year olds at Christmas on catch up. It's lovely. Proper sob fest.
Think dp is bored of me being ill now. He's being a bit huffy if I ask him to do anything, I'm not being a nightmare I promise.

I've had exciting news, I've been shortlisted for something I really really want. It's not a job, but an opportunity to travel and research for 8 weeks and work will give me the time off as the research will benefit them. I'm being vague as I guess it would out me, although could anyway I suppose Grin. Ill know now if any of you know me irl though I guess!
Have an interview in January, proper nervous. Quite pleased I've been shortlisted as only 200 were out of 1000. They award around 100 places so not bad odds I guess.
Could be the ultimate law of sod though Grin and good thing to focus on if I'm not pregnant at least.

Ditsy79 · 19/12/2015 06:41

Hi to all the newbies.
Nothing much to report here, managed to shag every day since AF finished. Does anyone else feel that the 'fun' has gone from shagging now you're ttc? Now in the TWOT so gx something happens this month (7th cycle of trying)...am getting fed up with the whole thing.

Catscatsandmorecats · 19/12/2015 07:20

What a lot has happened in the last day!

Flowers to all the viriods feeling low and so pleased to hear your exciting g news just

My day of Christmas dos was very enjoyable, slightly marred by only getting two hours sleep as DS has a cold but I enjoyed the socialising and the Wine.

No witch yet, she should have arrived yesterday late afternoon so I have reached the point I have allowed myself to poas. Off to do it now gx gx gx

Catscatsandmorecats · 19/12/2015 07:30

Oh FFS! BFN I don't know what my bloody body is up to but I am not happy with it. My cycles were so predictable before and I could tell when I was icing and now its just a fucking lottery.

There will be much Wine over Christmas

ChatEnOeuf · 19/12/2015 08:26

Not out yet, Cats. I never get BFPs until about CD35. The exception being when it was twins.

Congrats on the shortlisting, Just and GX for the interview. You must shoehorn in your fear of blood test conquering!

Two of my friends have had their babies. Today is one of those days when I just want mine.

justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 11:04

Not out yet cats gx

chat here if you need to talk Flowers

Canters15 · 19/12/2015 11:21

Eek just that sounds fantastic. Are you able to tell us where you might be travelling? One of my biggest regret is not taking time out (gap yaaaah!) Pre uni/career as now I'm on a bit of a career treadmill and hard to take a break. Anyhow, your news sounds fab.

Cats- urgghhhhh, why?! As long as the witch stays away you're still in with a shot. So frustrating though.

In the interests of science I peed on another opk this morning. Second line a bit darker then yesterday so dipped with an ic and another bfn. So I can conclude that 1) the opk thing is large bollocks and 2) I need to stop peeing on things and wait for AF, which is due on weds.

In other news, I'm off for my final wedding dress fitting this aft!

justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 12:59

Exciting wedding dress day! And good scientific experiment Grin
Would be travelling to Japanapan, South Korea and Australia.

Canters15 · 19/12/2015 13:11

Ah, japanapan! My honeymoon destination!

justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 14:18

Ooh lucky you, where are you going?

CountryGal4 · 19/12/2015 14:33

Friggin hell just that sounds amazing and just what you need. Welldone you

birdboo · 19/12/2015 16:36

Hello another newbie here! I have a feeling I will be hear a while due to my endometriosis and infrequent ovulation but we're having fun trying. It's our first cycle so it still seems fun but I'm not sure how long it wil stay fun once Chirstmas is done will. Smile

I'm thinking here is the place were I can get excited about doing it during fertile times without seeming crazy.

SanPellegrini · 19/12/2015 16:56

Just that sounds like an amazing opportunity not many chances like that working in the public sector. Definitely one to take a chance at.

Been glossing woodwork today woo! The glamorous life I lead.

Also ventured into OPKs Thursday def +ve and last two days increasingly negative so Gx we donned the cape at the right time Thursday night.

It's so strange even tho I've been monitoring cm for last year and can determine clearly the types of cm when It came to knowing which day I iced I'm so not sure and already got a bit obsessed Confused hence the secret OPKs!

Last Saturday before Christmas and still no present for DH Blush

Dinner and a movie tonight I'm driving although I've had two flat white martini this weekend and flit between forgetting that I'm supposed to be not drinking and thinking it can't possibly have happened yet. Cheers Wine

LondonGirl83 · 19/12/2015 17:54

*just that's so exciting. I really want to go to Asia in 2016!

Ditsy TTC sex especially near the end is distinctly less fun that purely recreational sex!

I realise looking at my chart I didn't ice yesterday so shagged again this morning! I think I must ice today based on LH surge

MyBlackCat · 19/12/2015 19:17

Welcome birdboo absolutely no crazies around here, oh no, none, nada, zilch Wink

just sounds very exciting, good luck x

Me and the chocolate are watching scd tonight - keeeeep dancing Grin

justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 19:51

Welcome bird enjoy!

Thanks all, really hoping I get it.

pelli don't forget that opks will tell you you're going to ice in the next 24-48 hours not usually that day.

I've just had an epic nap and am going to treat myself to a takeaway and catch up on scd.

MyBlackCat · 19/12/2015 20:15

Don't bother just it was a bit of a disappointment Shock

OP posts:
justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 20:46

Well I've got nothing else to do

Catscatsandmorecats · 19/12/2015 20:49

just I'm doing exactly the same!

It has occurred to me that all the cm over the past few days that I was hoping was a symptom might have been a very very delayed icing after what happened last month and being ill. And now we've missed it - big fat buggery bollocks! I will get the cape on this evening as a last ditch attempt. Bums.
