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 <strong>Something</strong> = JSing like a teenage nymphomaniac.

Giving a <strong>hooya</strong> = 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 <strong>Lemon</strong> = 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.

Fuzzy - you wrote endometritis in your post earlier, which is why I was explaining, as I thought you might have the two muddled up! Endometriosis is far more likely to be the cause of the symptoms you describe, and can be provisionally diagnosed based on the history etc, but only a laparoscopy would tell you for sure. It's worth asking about if your periods are unbearable or if you're struggling to conceive.

Illiria · 16/01/2016 15:21

Just - we had white port when we went to Porto for DH friends wedding. Was lovely, crofts port caves - can't stand their sherry but their port is awesome.

Kwick709 · 16/01/2016 16:16

Speaking of port my old boss gave me a bottle of the stuff from 1982 which was opened in error last weekend and I sat there watching everyone enjoy glugs... I have been on wagon since September!! Envy

ZylaB · 16/01/2016 16:20

Hi,
Hope you all don't mind if I officially return!
Zyla, I have one JS baby who is 1 in 3 weeks time (!!!) and AF has just decided to return, so it's all systems go for trying for number 2. I am going to be using ICs (naughty I know) but to keep a check on cycles while things settle down, but will probably need some help as not used them before. I'm type 1 diabetic and have the go ahead from my consultant along with super strength folic acid, so that's it really!
:)

waves at a few people I know

KitKat1985 · 16/01/2016 16:40

Hi Zyla! I am also trying to conceive number 2. DD has just turned 16 months and is hard work, so sometimes I think I'm mad for doing this!

As for me, I have no idea where my cycle is at as just stopped mini pill and haven't yet had a period. I did a test yesterday and it was a BFN. I'm not surprised in the least - I felt awful when pregnant with DD pretty much right from the moment of conception, and given that I feel okay at the moment I wasn't expecting it to be positive. I'm looking on the bright side though and taking that as meaning it's okay for me to carry on drinking the leftover Christmas alcohol. Grin

FuzzyOwl · 16/01/2016 18:30

Sorry for the confusion Sock that is what happens when I rely on predictive text. I probably misspelt it at some point without realising that by doing so that I was talking about something else, and then my phone has remembered it. Blush

Catscatsandmorecats · 16/01/2016 19:09

Hi zyla I'm TTC number two too. Its proving to be a lot tougher than I'd imagined, good that you are getting going so quickly :)

London yeah, I saw that. I'll be 4/5 days before AF tomorrow so I'm going to try anyway. I've decided that I don't care about paying for the tests at the moment, I'd just rather know what my body is up to. I think even if I get a bfp it'll unstick again, the spotting has gone on too long now to be an implantation bleed.

Sorry, just read that back, what a bloody misery I am! I am enjoying catching up on all the news on the thread, also I'm sat in front of the fire with some wine chambre-ing Grin

MyBlackCat · 16/01/2016 19:44

Hooya to all those discussing testing with a frer early - step away from the pissy sticks and wait until AF is late Grin

Welcome back zyla - sadly for me I recognise you from before but I may have been lurking then

Cats I'm gonna leave the sticks be for now. Had a bit of a jetlagged 3am sob on DH last night- its stupid as only been trying 3 months but TTC really messing with my head this week.

Corgi, I didn't have any joy with anything topical last time skin was so bad, and BP made my face so dry and I looked about a hundred years old suppose it may be worth a retrial though.... The irony is my skin was perfect as a teen!

Hi zyla!

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 11:00

Morning viroids! Woke up to snow which is nice.

Right, all this talk of early testing must stop!

Hi zyla Smile

NFMB:still bloomin sore! Why?! Body officially broken!

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 11:01

Hugs for you canters Thanks

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 11:58

just I have just caught up on your fc appointment chat. Sounds positive. Grin don't leave me out of your little club with black though! Wink though my fc appointment isn't til end of march...

Hello to stumbly and welcome back to zyla waves I remember you from first time around...

So I had EWCM yesterday.. compiled with some womble pain and a ton of watery cm today.. any ideas? Did your viroid beating/cheerleading for my ovaries do anything?

CountryGal4 · 17/01/2016 12:03

This talk of early pissing is far to bloody rife! No pissing early..... Don't make me send lil over!!

Just brilliant news about FC. Did you happen to mention that positive test to them?

MyBlackCat · 17/01/2016 12:06

ain you can join the club Wink

Not going to win any sotm awards here but have managed 3 in 4 days - Ov, ov -1 and Ov -3, no optimism that it will work but you've got to be in it to win it Grin

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 12:13

Viroids viroids viroids I am so fucking excited...

Not only do I get to join just and black in their club, but look at this... this is not the best of tests either as I have drunk a lot today and the pee wasn't ahem concentrated.

So, symptoms include feeling extra horny, pains that I think are ovary or womble pains, a couple of spots on my chin, I had EWCM yesterday, today it's more watery...

Could my ovaries have really listened to you? What do you guys think?

DH has been away since Friday morning and gets back tomorrow afternoon the fucker, but could I have actually ovulated?!

Please slap me for ovulation symptom spotting and driving myself crazy...

angelazul · 17/01/2016 12:26

Welcome Zyla Smile

Ain gx & everything else possible crossed the chanting has worked!!

Canters don't think it matters how long you've been TTC, it messes with your head at some stage along the way Flowers

NFMV: ovia & glow giving different icing dates v bloody useful so it either happened Fri/yday or will be in the next few days. I only started feeling horny on Thurs, a bit of ewcm Fri & right pelvic pain last few days. Shagged every day since Thurs (twice yday Grin) - will try to get a few more shags in over the next few days

angelazul · 17/01/2016 12:31

NFMD (dreams): dreamt that fil asked if I was preggers & had hard time convincing him I'm not. Then dreamt sis was about to give birth, but somehow I hadn't even known/noticed she was preggers Blush

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 12:32

Just realised I didn't attach the pissy stick picture... Blush

Ain what a beaut! You ever had a positive before??

honeysucklejasmine · 17/01/2016 12:38

Holy moly Ain, that's better than any stick I ever got.

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 12:53

Yes ain! That's bloody excellent. Whoop!

I didn't country I was a bit overwhelmed with the ivf chat tbh. If it happens again I'll call gp/get in touch with him. I

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 13:11

Never had one that dark before.. darkest I've ever had is about half the darkness of the test line... I'm so excited! DH really did pick a bad weekend to go away.. does a positive test mean you are going to ovulate, are ovulating, or have just ovulated? I feel I should know this but having never seen one before I am unsure! Haha.

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 13:28

Going to ovulate in next 24-48 hours. Most likely to be 24.
Plenty of time to don that cape!

SockQueen · 17/01/2016 13:48

Woo Ain! Get it on!
