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.

Definitely no line....I tried again this morning and I think last night's squinter was just a crazy hopeful mirage!

It's too early to test anyway. I promised myself I wouldn't do early tests. Must do better!

ZylaB · 20/01/2016 09:50

ain well done on the weight loss, I've been doong SW since July and it's made a huge difference to me (and DH!)

Tv shows etc, me and my mate at work came up with an extreme Japanese game show (because they're the ones who always seem to dk the stupid challenges that hurt etc) called 'get hard or go home'. The idea was they had to wank and get a hard on in extreme circumstances, in with a lion, or underwater and so on and the last person to do it in each round went home..culminating in a final round where they had to do it in front of their mums! I guess it was a slow day that day lol :)

ScottishLady7 · 20/01/2016 10:01

Hello, this place seems fun and I wonder if I could join you lovely lot?
I'm 27, TTC #1, Cycle 4, CD7.
Last month did too much of the old POAS nonsense so I'm keen to chill out with folk in the same boat who are really trying to be relaxed about it all but who also go a bit mad from time to time, like me!!

Looking forward to learning all the lingo from you seasoned pros Wink

honeysucklejasmine · 20/01/2016 10:14

Hi Scottish! Welcome to the mad house. I've got to say, joining this thread was the best thing ever. I was here for 14 cycles before moving to grads and I am so excited about moving to the mums soon, and all the meanwhile I've had the fabulous support of the amazing JSers!

Viroids, you rock.

sorry for being soppy, must be hormonal

stumblymonkey · 20/01/2016 11:21

Ah...honeysuckle...good luck re: becoming a mummy!

Zyla...did you know there is a Japanese TV show called masturbation karaoke???

I'll see if I can find a link Grin

stumblymonkey · 20/01/2016 11:21

....and welcome ScottishLady

stumblymonkey · 20/01/2016 11:25

Here we go....it's not for the faint hearted...it's pretty creepy...and obvs not suitable for work!

ZylaB · 20/01/2016 12:28

Lol stumbly!!!

Catscatsandmorecats · 20/01/2016 12:41

Back to CD1 Sad

ScottishLady7 · 20/01/2016 13:07

Haha stumbly I think I'll wait til I get home to watch that...

Sorry to hear about AF cats, maybe this will be THE cycle- Gx.

I was having a read back through old posts and saw there are a few docs on here. I'm a GP trainee too- ST1.2 and also hoping to prolong things with a bit of Matty leave. corgi what makes you think you won't be entitled to Mat leave? Concerned that this sounds like a potential spanner in the works!!!

corgi88 · 20/01/2016 14:07

Sorry cats Flowers
Scottish I'm St2, just a bit worried that if I don't get upduffed soon I'll be qualifying, and some practices want you to be working for them for a year before you're entitled to mat pay Shock

Canters15 · 20/01/2016 14:16

Yes I've heard horror stories of only getting locums after finishing so no mAt pay, or practice stipulating you have to work for X amount of time before can have mat pay. I'm just desperate to get pregnant to avoid a&e, I can't bear to work there again. That said after my morning in GP land today I think I might just quit and be a house wife. i certainly don't plan to ever work more then 6 sessions a week when done. Maybe only 4.

Af rocked up. Pleased but sad. I do wonder whether we should be trying right now, I'm so frightened there will be something wrong and it won't happen and I don't want my first year of marriage to be blighted by the upset of not getting knocked up. That's silly isn't it? I should man up.

Is masturbation karaoke like how it sounds?!!

Canters15 · 20/01/2016 14:18

Oh, my god, it is. Well I didn't see that when in Japan!

stumblymonkey · 20/01/2016 14:26

Sorry AF made an appearance cats Thanks

I don't think I'll ever understand Japanese culture!

FuzzyOwl · 20/01/2016 14:48

Hello ScottishLady

Sorry Cats Sad

Hope all is ok with everyone else.

corgi88 · 20/01/2016 16:47

Good God I have just watched that video. Can't. Even. What??!?

stumblymonkey · 20/01/2016 16:55

LOL!!!! My insincere apologies for mentally scarring everyone for life with the video.

I'm feeling fed up today....just returned from a much overdue dentist appointment so basically my own fault and I need a lot done and quoted £2.5k!!!

pretzelpieces · 20/01/2016 16:56

Wtf did I just watch?!

LondonGirl83 · 20/01/2016 17:10

Sorry for the AF Cats and Canters

So, my temp has gone up over the last two days. AF due on circa the 25th. By now my temp normally starts dropping slightly as I am 8 dpo. It could just be the screaming foxes outside my house in the morning that are causing some weird adrenaline rush. Either way, I claim a symptom!

If my temp hasn't started to fall by Saturday I'm going to test. It would be a miracle as there has been virtually no shagging in 2016 (though twice in the days just before ovulation)!

SockQueen · 20/01/2016 17:30

WTF did I just watch?!?

Sorry to Cats and Canters for AF. Canters there's never going to be a non-stressful time to try, and if there's no reasons for you to think there are any problems, I don't see any point in putting it off if you're ready.

Very glad I've got 3.5 more years on my training contract though!

ScottishLady7 · 20/01/2016 17:58

stumbly thanks for making my first day here so... Memorable!!!!

Thanks Canters and Corgi I understand now!! I too would like to time future mat leave to miss my A&E job...

justtheonethen · 20/01/2016 18:03

Cats and canters sorry af got you Thanks

stumbly it's def too early. Step away from the sticks! Oh god that show!

zyla Grin

I'm seriously considering getting into bed now!

justtheonethen · 20/01/2016 18:03

justtheonethen · 20/01/2016 18:03

Ooh hi scottish. Welcome!

Sorry probably missed loads from skim reading so Wine for all!

KitKat1985 · 20/01/2016 18:12

That video is mad Stumbly! Sorry to hear about all your dental work.

AF reared her ugly head just now so that's me out for another month. I'm not surprised though.
