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.

Just left work and watched the video. Amazing stumbly

FuzzyOwl · 20/01/2016 19:17

Fingers crossed for you london.

Ouch stumbly. Is it work that you can get done on the NHS if pregnant?

FuzzyOwl · 20/01/2016 19:51

Quick question - For those who have had pregnancies before and also charted/taken temps/used OPKs etc, how accurate do you think your 12 week scan has been in terms of whether it says you ovulated on the day you think you did?

angelazul · 20/01/2016 19:57

Hey vidroids, been MIA, shagging my little heart out Grin Scanned through quickly, gx Wine Flowers & hooyahs as appropriate.

So, I think I iced over the weekend, so twot is now upon us. Trying & failing miserably to focus on other things, finally getting round to starting to my new year's resolution to lose some weight. I have about 1.5 stone I want to lose, so need to get cracking!

Saw this online & think my heart literally melted

ZylaB · 20/01/2016 19:57

fuzzy I used clear blue fertility monitor last time so knew the day I iced, my 12 week scan disagreed by 2 days, I wasn't going to argue over 2 days

angelazul · 20/01/2016 19:58

Btw, that video Blush Blush Blush

Ain626 · 20/01/2016 20:26

Oh my goodness... What did I just watch!!! But hey, he got a hand job out of it from a pretty hot woman...

Sorry about AF canters and cats Wine

I really should get myself down to the dentist... I chipped my tooth over Christmas. Too scared to actually go though. I'm a total wimp. I should, the chip is getting slowly worse and if I leave it too long it'll possibly end up getting really bad and painful...

FuzzyOwl · 20/01/2016 20:28

Thanks Zyla. I was fairly sure my 12 week scan put me a day over last time but I want to try to work out if I tend to ice later than normal after a +OPK or not. Was wondering what other people's experiences were.

Catscatsandmorecats · 20/01/2016 20:30

Hello Scottish nice to meet you and apologies for not saying hello earlier.

Stumbly I have waited all day to watch that video and it didn't dissapoint! Who are the people watching, that's what I want to know?!

NFMV: As you all know I thought this morning when the spotting was a bit more that the witch had arrived, it was about the right time I was feeling low etc etc. Anyway, since I posted it has gone, there has been nothing, nothing at all since about midday. WTAF?

ChatEnOeuf · 20/01/2016 20:35

Stumbly! Shock Grin

Welcome, Scottish - there's loads of us medics here now. I'm in NICU, paeds trainee at present.

My 12w scans have always been more enlightening than anything else - I've never charted or owt.

Sorry Cats and Canters Flowers

FuzzyOwl · 20/01/2016 20:57

Implantation bleeding Cats?

Thanks Chat. I guess I am just trying to reassure myself that I didn't start and keep DTD after ovulation and that I was still before icing.

CountryGal4 · 20/01/2016 21:49

London some cycles my temp didn't drop until the the day of af. Save yoursf the sticks and only piss when late pet. Gx though

Kwick709 · 20/01/2016 22:30

Sorry cats and canters my af came today too :(

Welcome scottish

stumbly that was...interesting/traumatising/horrific!

Still catching up on all I have missed...

Catscatsandmorecats · 20/01/2016 22:31

Fuzzy I honestly don't know! It's not impossible but then the spotting went on too long I think. Witch was due this afternoon after all went quiet. I will see what happens overnight and in the morning.

Kwick709 · 20/01/2016 22:38

Calling all medics: I hope you do not mind me asking for advice!

Last cycle (when I was taking Menopur to stimulate follicle growth) I suddenly developed a lump on my right boobage near the arm pit... I did a bit if squeezing and loads of gungy stuff came out. It has gone down a lot in size now.
On my left boobage a lump developed a while back (above arm pit) - checked out and deemed to be a lypoma (whatever that is). Anyway in the last day or so this has flared up and today I noticed it had a non-red pimple which I squeezed...loads of gungy stuff has come out... I think there is more to come... Should I be very worried?

Fuck knows what will happen when I start taking growth hormone prior to ivf....

FeatheredTail · 21/01/2016 08:13

Is that vid suitable to watch on a packed train...?!

Welcome Scottish!

Fuzzy my dating scan put my expected due date 4 days earlier than my ovulation date. I know when I ovulated though (and when I had the shag I conceived on....26 August in case anyone was interested Grin. I charted and trusted it and my cycles were always regular.

Really hoping for some BFPs from you all soon. Gs firmly Xed!

stumblymonkey · 21/01/2016 09:25

Feathered....you will get some very strange looks if anyone glances over your shoulder Grin

Last night I was advising DP of his roles and responsibilities during pregnancy...including scooping any poo out of the birthing pool and massaging my perineum to make sure it's supple before labour to reduce tearing.

DP: What on earth is a perineum?
Me: The bit of skin between my fanjo and my starfish
DP: Oh dear god
Me: Well, I won't be able to reach and no-one wants to tear from their fanjo to their starfish!
DP:
Me: Oh, and it will be a bit hairy down there because I won't be able to reach to shave
DP:

GrinGrinGrin

Catscatsandmorecats · 21/01/2016 09:37

Kwick if you can't get any advice here please do tell your clinic/Dr. Sending you massive unmumsnetty hugs.

Fuzzy you and canters may have been right, the spotting has gone, witch is late and look what I got this morning....

Omg cats yayyyyyy!!!!

jellypi3 · 21/01/2016 09:55

Ooh congrats cats :)

pretzelpieces · 21/01/2016 10:23

!! Congrats cats!

Ditsy79 · 21/01/2016 11:25

Big Congrats cats !!!
Sorry to those of you who are having a visit from evil AF. Wine
Am not optimistic about having a bfp this month, but you never know! AF is officially due on sun, and am having a little debate with myself about whether I should POAS on Sat morning, as we are going away for the wkend (and I want to drink of am not pg). Or do I need a hooyah?

LondonGirl83 · 21/01/2016 11:36

Congrats cats! Is this our first BFP for 2016?

Hurrah!

FeatheredTail · 21/01/2016 11:39

Congrats Cats!!

Stumbly I just properly cracked up at your post - my DH and I had a very similar conversation (although I didn't mention potential hair issues). It ended with him agreeing to purchase the "blow up balloon fanny stretcher" (also known as an Epi-No) for me if it meant not massaging my bumbo with almond oil every night.

I was mildly offended. What the hell is wrong with my perineum? RUB IT!

Catscatsandmorecats · 21/01/2016 11:57

Thank you so much Viriods! I am excited but also super paranoid it'll come unstuck again.

Gx gx gx gx gx

feathered that is brilliant!
