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.

Don't stress cats, get the cape on tonight just in case.

justtheonethen · 19/12/2015 23:07

Don't know what my body is doing. No bleeding at all after one super heavy bleed Thursday. Soaked through a tampon really quickly but next one was clean. Literally nothing since then.
Maybe because it was so late it all just came at once Confused

CountryGal4 · 20/12/2015 00:42

Buy your fanny a straight jacket immediately ...... It's gone mental

Canters15 · 20/12/2015 07:56

Don't mean to get your hopes up just but are you sure it isn't worth testing again?

ChatEnOeuf · 20/12/2015 08:04

Welcome, Bird!

Amazon will still deliver, Pelli, fear not.

Just Flowers - I'm with Country, your fanjo is nuts.

pretzelpieces · 20/12/2015 08:53

Sorry just Flowers the red witch is really messing you around Sad

jellypi3 · 20/12/2015 09:10

Sorry for the crazy fanjo just!

For those of you who know her, JC had her baby this morning! :)

justtheonethen · 20/12/2015 09:24

Ooh js'ing baby! Hurrah!

canters I really don't think there is, I have no symptoms, just lots of cramping but no more af. Absolutely bonkers!

Canters15 · 20/12/2015 09:34

It makes no sense! Perhaps your fanjo needs a festive break and will resume normal service in 2016?

justtheonethen · 20/12/2015 09:58

Maybe that's it! Closed for business until 2016.

CountryGal4 · 20/12/2015 10:29

She could have least put a bloody sign out!

justtheonethen · 20/12/2015 10:42

Well quite, or a message on the machine Grin

EllaBella07 · 20/12/2015 13:30

Well that's me out. AF came this morning a full week late.

Here's to a boozy xmas & new year & lots of shagging Xmas Wink

justtheonethen · 20/12/2015 13:59

Boo ella. Hurrah for boozy Christmas though Xmas Smile

Catscatsandmorecats · 20/12/2015 20:07

The phrase mental fanny is making me giggle, I'm sure DH thinks I'm going mad. I think its just the lack of sleep that's done it.

Even with that, I did get the cape on last night, it might have been a bit late but who knows, my cycle is all over the show. We did miss the end of strictly though, we fell asleep!

Anyway no witch yet and no pmt either. She'll probably sneak up on me when I am not prepared but I will enjoy a boozy Christmas after two off.

Here's to shagging and wine!

LondonGirl83 · 20/12/2015 20:23

Just that's so bizarre. Flowers

I've definitely ovulated yesterday. Strong temp rise this morning. Now the TWW begins. I might test early just so I know before the New Years party I'm meant to attend at which point I'll be 12 post-ovulation.

birdboo · 21/12/2015 15:17

I spoke too soon. Crazy ttc woman took over this morning. DH got home from a night shift and basically jumped on him because I'm fertile while he was half asleep. Also noticed that we've indirectly told everyone family wise we are ttc even though we were going to keep it to ourselves

Canters15 · 21/12/2015 17:08

Good work bird. I am struggling to keep it to myself too. Most friend know Blush

Bfn this morning. Think I'm properly out for this month. Ah well, onwards and upwards to Christmas.

ChatEnOeuf · 21/12/2015 17:31

Everyone in the world knows we're trying. No point hiding it - though I'm getting ruder and ruder when my mother asks if there's any news...

justtheonethen · 21/12/2015 18:09

Most of our close friends and my mum/sis know. I think we will tell dp's family if we start assisted conception because they could afford to pay

MyBlackCat · 21/12/2015 19:07

Only a few people know that we are ttc, those that don't think I hate kids or think it's appropriate to mention my ticking biological clock fucking bastards for a while after mc my DM would ask every month if we had any news, I had to tell her v strongly that if there was news she would know and to stop asking for updates Angry she hasn't mentioned it since Smile

^this, so much of this Angry

Catscatsandmorecats · 21/12/2015 22:51

black and just it is so horrid.

One of my bosses asked me the other day if I was going to get drunk on Christmas eve then find out I'm pregnant on Christmas day! She has no idea we are TTC again or what happened last month but she does know all about the missed miscarriage I had.

For some reason everyone has forgotten we had problems before DS and now experts us to just get pregnant at the drop of a hat. So much pressure from the family at the moment, and they know we'd like another, why heap more pressure on top.

I am playing the waiting game now with the witch. Who knows when she will strike....

justtheonethen · 21/12/2015 23:46

cats that's crap Flowers. I hate the pressure, I ended up telling my mum we were ttc because she kept hinting and telling me to stop being so career focused else I would miss my chance. Which was a bit Hmm as I've never been career focused just got rather lucky so I had to put her straight as it upset me that she thought I didn't know I was getting old! She's been brilliant since.

SockQueen · 22/12/2015 07:10

My mum knows we're trying because I told her in the summer, but doesn't know how long for or about the fertility clinic.

NFMV: something weird is going on. CD 33, my progesterone result last week was a pathetic 1 so pretty sure I didn't ovulate when I was supposed to. POAS + an OPK last night, just to shut up my Ovia app. Got an expected BFN, but the OPK was very very nearly positive, and I'm still having quite a lot of EWCM. Don't know if I'm going to ovulate late or if my ovaries are just messing with me. Will retest later today and try to get some jizz either way (also did on Sunday so hopefully that'll cover me!)
