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.

So this morning I've got a dull pain in my right pelvis. It's kinda near where I would get ice pains, & same kinda pain, but more intense. Anyone else ever had this?

corgi88 · 22/01/2016 11:51

angel yes I had that - last week but on left side. Are you due to ice?

angelazul · 22/01/2016 12:12

Corgi I think I iced last weekend. Probably a really silly question, but can you ice twice in 1 cycle??

Catscatsandmorecats · 22/01/2016 12:15

angel I have had that around implantation, could you be 7dpo?

angelazul · 22/01/2016 12:37

Cats I think I'm probably 5-6dpo, although I don't do opks/temp, so I guess it is a possibility. Must try not to get my hopes up though

Canters15 · 22/01/2016 13:53

Arghhh cats! I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Hoping af disappears soon. Keen to get shagging.

Planning champagne, fish and chips with Dh tonight. The two go, right?

ScottishLady7 · 22/01/2016 14:24

Sorry to hear that, cats. Gx for you testing on Monday.

corgi88 · 22/01/2016 14:55

angel now I come to think of it I did have some odd bloating and cramping, similar to ice pain, the cycle I got preggers..... stirs crazy pot
If I iced last Friday I guess I'm 6po. gx for us!

angelazul · 22/01/2016 16:41

Canters sounds like the perfect dinner to me Grin

Corgi I'm stirring the crazy pot & licking the spoon Blush

corgi88 · 22/01/2016 16:42

canters that sounds amazing!! I am jealous!
Also planning to quit and be a housewife the way this contract faff-on is going. daydreams of year of maternity leave

corgi88 · 22/01/2016 16:43

whoohoo for crazy angel! I don't temp or use opks but starting to get tempted. Though I guess ice pain tells you just as well? Trying not to get too TTC crazy but next month I may well have to cave and buy some ICs....

angelazul · 22/01/2016 17:13

Corgi I'm getting very tempted myself, plan is to use ic next cycle if no luck this time round. I usually get ice pain, although more often with right ovary than left, & it can go on for a couple days. But gx we won't need to go down that route

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 18:01

Hello viroids.

I never feel icing....am I weird? I do get an attractive chin spot when I ovulate though, natures contraceptive Grin

Champagne goes with everything Wink

MyBlackCat · 22/01/2016 18:19

No ice pains hear although dollop of ewcm usually coincides with +opk Grin

Sorry about the bleeding cats, sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

ERTD eta -7 days Shock having a takeaway curry tonight mmm - will attempt to run it off tomorrow Grin

MyBlackCat · 22/01/2016 18:21

here I mean here - I hate poor grammar - so disappointed with myself Angry

stumblymonkey · 22/01/2016 18:32

I'm pretty sure I don't have any ovulation symptoms at all but I definitely ovulate...

ChatEnOeuf · 22/01/2016 18:46

Canters that sounds delicious!

Cats I bled throughout the first trimester last time around. Bloody nightmare it was. GX it's not the end.

With a little creative editing, you've the makings of a great conception story should it turn out that way, Just :)

Pate it is - DH will refuse to swap as he thinks it's the food of the devil, so a proper LoS choice. Unfortunately, it's a carvery, so no mercury-laden fishes to choose. Cheese though, there's cheese Grin

Canters15 · 22/01/2016 18:54

Don't tell the daily mail guys, I'm such a moet medic. Housewife is my back up plan too corgi. My parents think I should just push through regardless of the contract but I'm not sure I can bear to do the job on a 15k a year pay cut....wah.

Right, opks. Are they going to do anything besides make me crazy? We get it on most days anyway, so I doubt its a timing issue, but you never know. Do I bother or not?

ZylaB · 22/01/2016 19:20

Ok, IC experts! This is my first one, in CD8, is that dark for cd8?? Or is it normal and the changes are subtle?

To be fair when I did the clearblue ones I had highs for aaaages before it finally gave a peak, so maybe I just have higher LH than average and even more before I ovulate?

If I don't get on with them this month I may have to go back to the cbfm as that just gave me words hehe

ZylaB · 22/01/2016 19:21

Oh, and I loooove champagne!

MyBlackCat · 22/01/2016 21:04

zyla I have no idea as I don't piss on them that early use them Grin

Ain626 · 22/01/2016 23:26

cats Flowers I have my gx that it is all gonna be okay. As others have said bleeding isn't definitive. I would try and speak to your doctor though.

I have back pain and sensitive nips today. and trying not to read anything in to it

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 23:31

zyla I have a line like that for a few days pre icing. Totally normal. I reckon you will ice on cd11 based on nothing at all! I just like a guessing game Grin

I wish I could be a housewife, especially as my school don't accept part time at all.

Ha ha, I'd take any conception story right now chat!

canters I like opks, feel more in control but I'm a control freak. I like to know I've shagged at the right time but we get it on most days so there is no logic there!

I've always lusted after a cbfm but the sticks are expensive and I stopped using clearblue ovulation tests because it was too expensive. I loved them though.

justtheonethen · 22/01/2016 23:33

Ooh ain I'm so hoping your first time icing is the one! You would be kind of a kitten, the longest serving one but still!

Ain626 · 22/01/2016 23:41

Haha just ! I'd only!

If (and it is still 'if' as although I had symptoms I have no proof) I iced I only would have iced earlier this week, so sore nips and feeling all achey wouldn't be symptoms yet.

Gives self hooyah.

Though tries to redeem self by adding in that I'm content with my body doing anything that resembles some sort of cycle. I am currently on cd47 I think.
