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.

Not needle phobic, can inject the cat daily and don't mind injections. Just blood tests. I'll look into cbt/hypnotherapy.

I'm london/Kent way.

sock sorry love. Yep think it makes it tomorrow cd1

lil no thanks Grin

corgi88 · 19/11/2015 00:03

Hello viroids, I will do a FMU tomorrow (d34) with a 25mlu test. My longest cycle was 35days so we'll see. I have just developed an annoying little witchy looking chin spot though. Hmm. Hahaha pud I hope you get to use that Tena lady soon!!!
Thanks for that info lil very interesting!

corgi88 · 19/11/2015 00:05

Sorry sock Flowers
just no judging here petal. Agree with the other suggestions re hypnotherapy/CBT. Good luck!

justtheonethen · 19/11/2015 07:33

Waiting eagerly for corgi's test in between throwing up as I've got the bug that's been going round school Envy (puking face rather than envy!)

justtheonethen · 19/11/2015 07:38

Any of you doctor types know if the blood test has to be done in your arm? Any chance it could be done with a finger prick? Obviously I need to get over my fear but wondering about a short term solution! I might call my consultant today and see what he suggests I do, presume if I phone the gynaecology secretary's they can pass on a message? Or does it not work like that?

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 07:51

Morning....today is the first day I can legitimately POAS... but I have none in the bloody house! Will have to pick up a couple of cheapies later.... argh!

angelazul · 19/11/2015 08:14

Sorry the witch got you sock Flowers

CD25 today, the witch due tomorrow/Sat, started feeling slightly pms at start week, but then it keeps disappearing. Arrgghh this is torture Confused

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 08:17

Just I think most blood tests need more material than a finger pick can provide (ie a little tubes worth)...
FWIW - I hate needles, but can now manage blood tests, donating blood (and stem cells) and tattoos as long as I don't see the actual needle going in...

lildottie · 19/11/2015 08:23

just if its not the actual needle that's a problem then I have every faith you will get there. I agree you could try CBT/hypnotherapy. Definitely speak to someone.

sock depends how full flow it was last night. If light id say today. If it was v late I'd say today. Clinic always said cd1 was if AF started before 12noon for starting ivf cycle so slightly different to normal full flow advice.

ChatEnOeuf · 19/11/2015 09:21

Just it's worth asking exactly how much blood they need for the test(s). From a generous newborn (with no clotting problem), I can get about 1.5ml from a single heelprick, so I reckon I could get a similar amount from you. I'd have to use a deeper needle, though, as you skin is thicker. Average adult bottles are about 4ml apiece. That said, when you do get pregnant you will need an absolute minimum of three blood tests during that time. And you definitely can't do a blood group test from a small sample. You can use a hand, foot, arm...anywhere there's a vein. Would a darkened room help? Having someone with you who you can completely focus on? Pain relief? If I thought it would help I would do it for you Flowers

Sock Sad sorry the Clomid didn't work this month. Onwards.

NFYPOAS Corgi? And you Mermaid?

honeysucklejasmine · 19/11/2015 09:34

Just I'd go along the lines of alternative sites to take it from... Preferably one you can't see. And take a friend with you for support!

corgi88 · 19/11/2015 09:51

Alas a BFN this morning. I think the witch is playing games with me, she is still not here! Daaaah. Wine tonight though....

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 09:55

I'm off to the shops soon for supplies, so may buy myself a stick to pee on....

OR do I wait until tomorrow/Saturday - argh

justtheonethen · 19/11/2015 10:07

Sorry corgi Flowers not out yet though.

chat come and do it for me please. Not even kidding. Maybe I'll ask about alternative sites. Could probably do it from my hand.

justtheonethen · 19/11/2015 10:07

Poas mermaid

corgi88 · 19/11/2015 10:28

Hmmm last message didn't post? Anyway had a BFN this morning with my PIAR. Never mind. Blasted Ovia getting my hopes up! wine tonight whoo

corgi88 · 19/11/2015 10:29

Eh now I have double posted! Blast the mobile coverage in this infernal hospital

ChatEnOeuf · 19/11/2015 10:38

Think it's MN as well Corgi - it told me you'd posted but not what you'd said! The tease. Not out yet - grads will tell you tales of my BFP on CD36...from a 28-30d regular.

Just I totally mean it. Where do you live?

justtheonethen · 19/11/2015 10:48

South London/Kent. Where are you moving back to? Would you really? I could drug up to the max and you could knock me over the head if necessary!

coribeth · 19/11/2015 11:29

OK so this month is all or nothing 4th cycle of clomid am temping although it's not really effective due to clomid looks like an ecg not temp chart lol am also taking Lil's advice and both dp and I are doing 1000mg vit c plus zinc I'm also using softcups and have restricted dtd to eod which is killing me! If I'm not upduffed by the end of the month I'm sulking and taking a month off the clomid and getting a couple of vino's down me over Christmas! Wine

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 11:51

Erm, I think I might be pregnant...but I have run out of pee to check again...Confused

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 12:11

Pregnant, right?

KeepTheHope · 19/11/2015 12:12

Definitely mermaid! Congrats!

Mermaid36 · 19/11/2015 12:18

Shit! Now what?? I've got a massive 3 day event starting tomorrow at the G-Mex in Manchester.....eep!

honeysucklejasmine · 19/11/2015 12:23
