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.

Incidentally, as I approach 30, uli am encouraging friends yet to start to TTC to come off the pill and switch to barrier methods at least a year I'm advance of starting TTC. Having seen the pain it caused so many viroids, waiting for the hormones to settle. and so far, no one has told me to fuck off!

FuzzyOwl · 22/12/2015 23:45

Winchester is lovely Catscats. Smile

Hello Holo and sorry to hear you are struggling ttc. It is a horrible journey for some. I am just trying to take comfort in the fact that statistically most of all should be pregnant or have given birth by Christmas next year.

I need a hair cut and really need to have a trim and a bit of a style. Just need to find the motivation first of all.

Ain626 · 23/12/2015 00:04

Hello to the new viroids. Smile

I have nothing to report, but just letting you know I am keeping up with the Fred.

Yay for jc having her baby on the grads. I don't stick my head in there all that often, but love hearing when a js baby has been popped out!

I'm feeling so fed up again. I want my baby dammit. :-( fed up of seeing all the baby updates on Facebook and things.

going back to hiding in the corner

Holothewise · 23/12/2015 07:47

Thank you everyone for the welcome! It's great to find somewhere where everyone just gets what you're going through.

honeysuckle I've been off the pill for years as I couldn't get on with it so just been using barrier methods. My cycles are fairly regular though at around 26-28 days average, which is why I'm wondering if we're just doing something wrong?! Haha.

fuzzy Thank you that statistic is comforting, I think as we get closer to the year benchmark I'm starting to worry a bit more but Christmas next year gives us a new target!

Ain I know what you mean about the facebook posts, a few of my friends are pregnant at the mo and while I'm happy for them one of them is my SIL and it is all she talks about! I've had to unfollow her as it was just getting too much.

corgi88 · 23/12/2015 08:37

Welcome newbies! just yay for haircut! I need one now, would quite like a bob but my hair is curly and would go bonkers. Never dared have a fringe either for that reason! Bet it looks amazing.

CoffeeandStitches · 23/12/2015 10:21

Morning all - thanks again for the lovely welcome.

I was in such a foul mood yesterday, not angry just mopey and BLAH. DH didn't know what to do about it so effed off out for the evening, which was probably for the best! I had the sofa and cats and my stitching and rubbish telly and I opened the Christmas chocolates early and generally just felt a bit shit. PMT? Fingers crossed....

Woke up this morning and first thing on my mind was wee. Well I didn't wee on a stick. There isn't any point. And I feel a lot more positive today! I am not going to spend the whole day at work googling. I am not going to fret over every bloody twinge.

I'm going to enjoy the last day and a bit at work. I'm going to enjoy Christmas (as much as a scrooge like me can!). I'm going to have a shit ton of booze because I can. I'm going to eat pate, and cured meats, and drink ALL the caffeine. And I'm going to chill the fuck out.

So thank you all, because I think that my 'admitting' everything here yesterday helped.

So, hands up who's at work not doing a lot of work today??

FuzzyOwl · 23/12/2015 10:40

My cats always help me when I am feeling a bit down too Coffee. Glad you are feeling more positive today and hope it stays.

Holo depending on your age, will your GP do any tests if you reach the one year mark unsuccessfully?

I might not be in work today but I am lucky enough to have a load of housework to get done before my SIL comes to stay tomorrow.

CoffeeandStitches · 23/12/2015 10:58

Fuzzy Thank you, I hope it stays too. I'm not a big fan of the festive season and it usually requires a huge effort from me to 'enjoy' it, but this year it's going to take a tremendous amount of 'faking it'. Might as well start now ;)

Do you have a houseful for Christmas? We have no one coming, but are going here there and everywhere trying to get the odd bits of family together for a semi normal festive day, fingers crossed he offers to be des this year!

FuzzyOwl · 23/12/2015 11:09

I hope you do manage an enjoyable Christmas Coffee. We are having my parents, DB, SIL and DN visit tomorrow, then SIL (DH's) is staying. On Christmas Day we are all going to my parents and then on 27th PIL, SIL, SIL and DN are coming to visit. We have recently moved house, so it is nice to show them where we are living now and makes a huge change from driving all over the country to visit everyone over the Christmas period.

justtheonethen · 23/12/2015 12:30

Good for you coffee Xmas Smile.

Dp got hammered last night and was being a duck, he was,still annoying me this morning so I took myself out to breakfast and bought two dresses and new make up because I was about to snap at him. Suffice to say no jizz been had so far this cycle what with shingles and now dp being a twat.

Hair does look pretty good actually, I've got a long messy/wavy bob with a fringe.

I'm off work already. Feeling guilty that I'm doing f all whilst cleaner is here!

justtheonethen · 23/12/2015 12:31

*dick! He wasn't being a duck. Quacking would have been less annoying!

Canters15 · 23/12/2015 13:53

Hi to holo and coffee. You're in the right place to let the crazy out. Really sorry to hear about your miscarriage coffee. And sorry you're feeling so down holo.

Would second the hormonal birth control messing everything up thing. I came off the pill after a relationship breakup when I was about 25 and it took a year for AF to come back. This time I stopped in August thinking we'd be trying from next April, but the need to have a baby got too strong! Really don't know if after having future baby I will go back on the hormones again.....part of me thinks it might be better to do a bit of cycle tracking with condoms in the fertile time. Not really something I need to worry about yet given not actually pregnant!!

Just yay for new hair! Have you had much chopped off? Mine is long and shit and I will be going for the chop post wedding, can't bloody wait.

I'm at work but my minds not really on the job. Finish tomorrow lunchtime and not back in until Tuesday, can't wait!!

CountryGal4 · 23/12/2015 14:03

Hammered dp s are the worst! I always loose my rag with dh when he's had too much

birdboo · 23/12/2015 19:58

Well I'm ovulating and DH is asleep on the sofa

Catscatsandmorecats · 23/12/2015 20:47

I've lost it. I'm spotting so the witch is on the way, last month really has completely fucked up my cycle, I have no idea what has gone on. I ended up late at work and so am now behind on the shed loads of stuff I still need to do before Christmas and we are busy all day tomorrow. I have anxiety and it is getting to me, plus I can't bear the thought of all the expectation from my family at Christmas. I've just sobbed at DH over the shopping list FFS!

justtheonethen · 23/12/2015 21:09

Deep breaths cats, it will be fine.

Wake him up birdy!

justtheonethen · 23/12/2015 21:11

Had a fair bit off canters, I got eyed up in town today and everything swishes new hair seductively

Holothewise · 24/12/2015 07:04

Fuzzy I haven't approached my GP about tests yet, tbh I'm a bit of a wuss and only go to the Drs if I absolutely have to! Also I'm worried I'll get fobbed off with the "you're young it will happen" line. If we wait until May then at least I'll have a year of effort to put in front of the GP. And hopefully we can still make it happen before then!

Last day of work today, hope it's not too busy as I'm already in holiday mode! I'll be donning the Christmas cape later as according to my tracking apps I'm due to ice. Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots of BFP's!! Xmas Grin

ChatEnOeuf · 24/12/2015 08:31

Hola, Holo! Welcome. It mostly will happen, but it's good to get the ball rolling if it doesn't.

Honey, it mostly feels like coming home. I love the unit I work on, and they have promised a gentle return. The babies clearly had other ideas though! Bit shaky for the first couple of procedures, and I'm second guessing my decision making but mostly it seems okay. Haven't been to labour ward yet, I'm not ready for that yet...maybe next year.

MyBlackCat · 24/12/2015 08:49

Happy Christmas Eve Viroids Grin

I'm nursing another hangover wonder if this is why I can't get pregnant? Shock

SockQueen · 24/12/2015 09:16

Welcome newbies! And merry Christmas to all viroids, in case I don't get on here tomorrow.

FuzzyOwl · 24/12/2015 09:18

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. Xmas Grin

BFN on a FRER this morning. Not sure how many dpo I am, but I think it is 9 and any good news would show by now. Oh well, here is to lots of drinking over Christmas and 2016 being a good year.

justtheonethen · 24/12/2015 10:58

Happy Christmas Eve! I'm not nursing a hangover but I'm going to get sloshed tonight/tomorrow. Hurrah!

CountryGal4 · 24/12/2015 11:03

Hooyah no pissing at 9 dpo that's waaaay too early!!

justtheonethen · 24/12/2015 11:14
