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.

Pate everytime chat Grin somehow ended up having more wine this evening, just a large glass.

Yay to cats about time we had our first bfp of the year secretly hoped it would be me

Heads off to start rumour of how just cracked her tooth during jizz acquisition Grin

MyBlackCat · 21/01/2016 21:44

P.S can't bring myself to watch the wanking karaoke video and can only dream about needing a fanjo stretcher Shock

FuzzyOwl · 21/01/2016 22:07

Yay Cats! So pleased for you.

Definitely melon Chat. I, too, believe in the power of positive thinking!

Come on just, how did you crack your tooth?

justtheonethen · 21/01/2016 22:14

Actually have no idea! Eating dinner I suppose. I've got no fillings or anything so teeth in pretty good condition. God knows how it just cracked?!

Ghost jizz Smile

pretzelpieces · 21/01/2016 22:24

just sorry about your tooth but yay for ghost jizz.

I tried the epi-no and managed to make myself bleed so that has scared me off. Not filled with confidence about the birth!

justtheonethen · 21/01/2016 22:55

pretzel Shock

Ain626 · 21/01/2016 23:09

Yay cats congratulations!!! Nice line there. Grin

Ouch just does the cracked tooth hurt? That's a few of us with some sort of dental issue now. Need for us all to get upduffed for free dental care..

FuzzyOwl · 21/01/2016 23:51

Hope it isn't painful and you can get it seen quickly just and well done on getting the jizz.

Obviously none of us use OPKs but if you did, how many days after the first positive would you continue shagging?

Kwick709 · 22/01/2016 06:11

What are you like just?!

Catscatsandmorecats · 22/01/2016 06:26

Oh just that sounds like a nightmare! The tooth, not the jizz, great jizz collecting Grin

Kwick I'm pleased it sounds like its nothing to worry about and you will speak to your Dr. Gunk sounds pretty gross.

Thank you all you lovely Viriods for your congratulations. I'm still half expecting that the witch will suddenly appear but I'm beginning to believe it now.

DH came out with a gem the other night when I told him the spotting had stopped, he looked sad so I told him it might be a good thing to which he replied 'I don't understand women's bodies, they are all full of not being able to poo, IBS and confusing symptoms!'

coribeth · 22/01/2016 06:38

cats congrats! Grin

Catscatsandmorecats · 22/01/2016 06:52

I spoke too soon. Proper bleeding now, it has come unstuck again Sad

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 07:34

cats right first of all a massive hug. Are you sure? I know a few of the viroids have had quite a lot of bleeding and it carried on. I don't have any good advice. Someone better will be along soon I hope. Thanks

Kwick709 · 22/01/2016 07:44

cats hang in there! I am keeping gx for you.

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 07:52

cats can you go and get a blood test for hcg done? Then another on Monday to see if it is rising? With this not being the first time I would expect gp to be sympathetic

angelazul · 22/01/2016 08:05

Cats I'm keeping everything crossed it's a sticky bean. As just said, maybe time to see your gp Flowers

stumblymonkey · 22/01/2016 08:57

Gx for a sticky bean here too....I did see a post the other day...I forget who...where they had quite a lot of bleeding but it was okay.

Be kind to yourself today Thanks

Catscatsandmorecats · 22/01/2016 09:31

Oh viroids, thank you.

I have no idea what is going on, not bleeding again now. I think it is coming unstuck again. I will see what happens over the weekend and test again with a frer, from my experience last time the line got fainter as it went so I'll know one way or the other if I test on Monday.

A bit hard to call the DR today as my Mum is here looking after DS who is off nursery because he's on a second batch of antibiotics for an ear infection. Mum does not know what is going on and I don't want her to overhear.

We are all full of nasty coughs and colds. It is a right old miserable household. I'd like to take some day nurse but had better not Confused

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 09:34

What a horrible weekend of uncertainty. Here for you Thanks

FuzzyOwl · 22/01/2016 09:49

Oh cats what a horribly worrying morning for you. I also know lots of people who have had plenty of bleeding in their first trimester and everything has gone on to be fine. Likewise, I didn't have any at all in my first pregnancy and it ended in a miscarriage. Whilst seeing blood is terrifying, it doesn't always mean the worst. Thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes your way.

5hell · 22/01/2016 10:04

try not to panic cats Flowers rest up if possible and take it easy.

I had breakthrough bleeding of a full period roughly on time, then gushes at 6, 7 and 8w, and all is fine as far as we can tell. I know it's incredibly stressful (I had had a mc a few months previous) but it might well be, and hopefully will be, fine. thinking of you, and keeping all gx

honeysucklejasmine · 22/01/2016 10:08

Cats I hope this is just a bad bleed and not AF. But if it is, make sure you have it recorded on your medical records. Gx for you in the meanwhile.

It occurs to me that the thread title is incredibly apt, now that Mermaid has found out about her giblets. BOGOF indeed!

Catscatsandmorecats · 22/01/2016 10:09

thank you fuzzy & just I know there is no rhyme or reason to it. I had no bleeding at all when I had my first pregnancy that ended in a mmc at 12 weeeks. Then a bit with the one that ended in DS1. Last chemical/early mc was a lot like this though so I can't stop feeling pessimistic.

I am being a right grump. Felling ill and sad and confused.

On a lighter note have never heard of this stretchy fanjo thing - I am still very naive, I didn't even know OPKs existed before coming on this thread. Please do keep the epi-no stories coming, they do lighten the mood :)

LondonGirl83 · 22/01/2016 10:39

CatsI'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that it ends up being okay. Flowers

Just I chipped my tooth eating dinner a few years ago. I was terrified. My husband scooped me up to get emergency dental work that night. It wasn't a good luck but you can't tell the difference now. Teeth are weird.

Fuzzy I'd keep shagging for 3 days just to be safe. LH surge is supposed to happen 36 to 48 hours before ovulation.

corgi88 · 22/01/2016 10:45

oh cats. big hug and gx. Agree might be time to see GP and get bloods checked etc. keep us posted and try to stay distracted over the weekend, though easier said that done obvs!

nfmv: now properly in the TWOT, torture indeed. Haven't had any symptoms to spot yet...
DH came back off the citalopram because the shagging was suboptimal (delayed/non-jizzing), have to say he seems a lot happier now we can actually shag! haha
