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.

Quite a few fertility clinics recommend treating to a TSH of

SockQueen · 06/01/2016 18:58

Kwick they didn't mention it when I rang earlier, just made the appointment for the scan. Gx it's ok and this is a sticky socklet!

corgi88 · 06/01/2016 19:00

thanks chat! I will do some research for my GP appointment. sock you have a mind like a steel trap! Yes I did have Hodgkin's with neck irradiation, was warned that had a 1 in 3 chance of hypothyroidism. Then obviously forgot to have any TFTs done for ages, then opportunistically asked MW to do them! Thanks. Will ask GP to give me some thyroxine next week and then can get on with more baby-making, hopefully successfully this time...

corgi88 · 06/01/2016 19:01

gx for sticky socklets! though that makes me think of standing on jam in little socks! haha

It wasn't the cats fault, poor thing got a fright when I threw my bra off as soon as I opened the door.

This means I got skittletits when I iced and unusually they have come back rather than just tapering off symptom

justtheonethen · 06/01/2016 21:31

KitKat Hello!

sock just brilliant pissy sticks Grin

I think I am icing/about to ice, shiny cm, spots starting etc so will get the cape on again tonight. We are really going for it this month, started as soon as the witch had gone (and the coffee machine was fixed) and will try to keep going all the way til she is next due.

Good news is that I've dropped 2 breast feeds because of weaning so hopefully my hormones will sort themselves out a bit.

Age: 33 today
TTC #1
Cycle 19
DCs: 0 (mc dec 15 at 9w3d) ttc for 21 months
Fur babies: 1 very thick but affectionate cat
Science: iui with Clomiphene Citrate and hcg trigger due to unexplained infertility.

Anotherrubberduck - awesome name, I collect rubber ducks (which are not allowed in the bath)

Corgi - I have subclinical hypothyroidism, 4.3 before levothyroxine and .36 after. Reproductive endocrinologist said he doesn't like any over 2 and to keep taking after bfp.

I am in wtf cycle after miscarriage at 9w3d on 16th of Dec bleeding too much so they insisted on d&c that day but rushed to ER two days later due to contractions starting again and tachycardia, spent 9 hours being treated and getting scans. All ok though and bleeding pretty much stopped by 26th of dec. Reproductive Endrocrinologist wants to start again after two months, yet to decide if JS for a few months before doing iui again.

Welcome Kitkat! Join in - TV is shit this time of year Grin

Nice (in a sad way) to see you back Ill - hope you and Mr Ill were able to enjoy some of the holiday Christmas period.

Good news, Duck, hopefully it won't be too long before the witch swoops back - and then promptly disappears again.

Can anyone remember what CD I'm on? Christmas get me muddled.

Happy birthday Ill ! Cake Wine
I collect rubber ducks too! Mine live in the bathroom and the combination of steam and my lack of regular cleaning totally normal amounts of dust make them all yucky. How do you keep yours clean?
(Not a silly question, they're not all smooth duck shapes and some have accessories.)
