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.

Ttc is tough canters. Flowers

Get shagging Ain. I use those sticks and from my last pregnancy know that I ovulated three days after my first positive, so I would DTD daily until Tuesday or Wednesday.

CountryGal4 · 17/01/2016 13:53

I used to ice day after positive IC. Excitiiiiing!!

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 14:23

Did you always ice the same amount of time after getting your first positive opk Country? I wonder whether all women do or if there is no guarantee that it is the same each cycle.

CountryGal4 · 17/01/2016 14:37

I used to ice a different cycle day every month but the only constant was a positive opk then next day temp dip the the next a sharp rise in temp. Then temp dip indicated icing. I only started to use opks plus temping to confirm ice as my cycles were so iregular.

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 15:22

DH is back tomorrow afternoon, so we'll get shagging as soon as he is back...

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 15:24

Really hope it won't be too late.! Even if it is I'm just so excited that my body may have ovulated by itself!

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 16:22

I ice a different day too Country but haven't ever really got on with temp to see if my ovulation date is the same timeframe after a positive opk. I wish I didn't have such disturbed nights' sleep and was able to do it, but I am always fidgeting or needing the loo and my charts just don't really work because of it. If I don't get pregnant this month, I will try temping again and see if I get anywhere with it this time.

Are you temping as well Ain just to check in case you are having a surge but not actually ovulating? Definitely get shagging ASAP tomorrow afternoon.

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 16:32

I'm not temping at the min fuzzy though I do have a thermometer for it.. but before we knew I definitely wasn't icing so I didn't bother with terms after a while.. I rarely sleep all night either which affects it. I always wake up in the middle of the night for something!

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 16:33

*temps.

Kwick709 · 17/01/2016 17:14

WTF??? I was thrown off this thread!!! Just spent 5 minutes trying to find it again!! I hope you guys are not trying to tell me something Sad

Anyway 3rd bfn in 3 days... Tomorrow is official test day and I will use a FRER. Have decided if bfn will definitely move on to ivf... In for penny in for a pound! And time is now of the essence! The amount of money I have spent over the years on things that are not as essential to me, I cannot now give up for something which is.

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 17:35

I always wake up as well Ain. So annoying!

Hi Kwick. Sorry you have got another bfn and I hope tomorrow's frer brings better news.

Kwick709 · 17/01/2016 18:33

JSers my mum just told me about this beauty ingredient that has been banned in Sweden due to impact on fertility - it is a lot of haircare products and body & face creams including sunscreens... just did an audit if what I have currently on the go (which is quite a lot as I have a slight illness of beauty product buying & hoarding) and I have found it in hair oil, serum and protector plus in body cream and night serum... bugger! Hope it is not in hoard I got online yesterday in Boots...

Ingredient is CYCLOPENTASILOXANE

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 19:49

Ooh how did you get kicked off kwick?! I'm going to check all my products now!

Kwick709 · 17/01/2016 20:31

I don't know just but even if I ask to watch the fred it does not let me.. I keep on having to do a "magic potion" search to find it again - very frustrating!

Am very encouraged to have read that pink line test are much more sensitive than blue line ones... all my BFNs have been with blue line ones... have been saving FRER for tomorrow.

So glad that Call the Midwife is back on... even if I do cry EVERY episode without fail!

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 20:42

I love call the midwife! Didn't realise it was back! Hurrah!

Pink line are not necessarily more sensitive but I'm struggling to think of one that is blue and 10mlu ( or whatever they are measured in!). The problem with blue ones is they can give shocking evaps.

Basically you want a frer or a superdrug. They are super sensitive. What have you been using? Tesco for example are 25mlu.

Good luck for tomorrow. Is that your official test date?

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 20:42

Also-is it not on your "threads I'm on" tab?

Kwick709 · 17/01/2016 20:51

Official test date is indeed tomorrow!

It was not on "Threads I'm on" either Angry

I have not used superdrugs ones at all - are they cheaper than FRER? Anyway I used 2 One Step ones and 1 Boots strip test.

I still feeling pretty ukky - have hacking cough and grating throat... have taken my nephews Calpol last two days but am now back at home with only codeine infected paracetomol... so no relief available. I am going to get some Calpol tomorrow...

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 21:09

Calpol Grin
Yes superdrug are cheaper. Although frer are £6.50 with Amazon prime so that's where I get mine

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 21:10

Have you got honey and lemon juice? Hot water, Lemon and honey is great for sore throats.

Kwick709 · 17/01/2016 21:19

No honey and no lemon juice but I did have a pukka lemon, ginger and manuka honey tea a while back.... Am in bed now - contempkating sleeping with gum in mouth and this is currently only thing keeping ciughing fit at bay.

I wonder if cough has impacted chances... Nurse said something about not using stomach to cough with.. Lord knows what I use as I definitely do not have any developed core muscles... My pelvic floor is in a bit of a state too... Anyway as have not slept in at all this weekend I am trying for an early night... Sweet dreams everyone!

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 22:04

Night kwick, surely the coughing thing must only apply straight after? So the jizz doesn't get pushed out?! Don't sleep with gum in! Now I'll worry all night about you choking to death! Try sleeping propped up and have a steamy (in the water vapour sense) shower if you're coughing loads.
Gx for tomorrow

Ain626 · 17/01/2016 22:39

Good luck for tomorrow Kwick !!! I second just 's suggestion of a steamy shower. Apparently putting vicks on your feet also helps. Has anyone ever tried it? Other than that, sleeping propped up on pillows... its rubbish when you have a cough and nothing you try helps... Sad

I did another opk this evening. It's not quite positive.. I'm trying to convince myself its because I've drunk so much today that it's because my pee was so watered down...

justtheonethen · 17/01/2016 23:02

ain it probably is just because it's more dilute but don't worry if it's not that. You will most likely ice tomorrow (but could be later-I ice second day after) and then the egg will be viable (?!) for another 24 hours. Don't panic, just get thinking up your most seductive cape donning for dhs return! We need Rhiannon to pop in, her efforts were legendary! Didn't she hide in a cupboard or something once?

Not tried Vicks on feet as always forget when I've got a cough. It's meant to work though. Weird!

pretzelpieces · 17/01/2016 23:02

ain stop peeing on things! The earlier opk showed a beautiful surge, now just set your sights on shagging your DHs brains out tomorrow! Grin

FuzzyOwl · 17/01/2016 23:11

Ain your surge may have already been but that doesn't mean you have already ovulated. Even if you have, the egg will be around for 24 hours.

Please tell me coughing doesn't impact your chance of conceiving as I have a horrid cold.
