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.

Thanks guys, everything you've said is v helpful and feeling a bit less wobbly now.

I will pee on a frer tomorrow and see what the situation is then. This may sound awful, but if it is a chemical, at least I know we work...I am a bit of a pessimistic health anxious beast and was quietly convinced we would turn out to have a problem, so at the very least I know sperm and egg are meeting. Still quietly hoping this will turn out to be OK though of course...

Gx for tomorrow cats.

justtheonethen · 24/01/2016 22:39

kwick you're hilarious! Can't wait till my nephew is ten to share the same! Grin

chat very productive! Dp is nesting I think...seems to have reorganised everything apart from the stuff that needs it and has reorganised my wardrobe in totally nonsensical order. Rather than dresses, shirts, jumpers etc as it was I now have "woollens" which include cardis, dresses, scarves and jumpers purely for their wooliness, "one pieces" which includes everything from a onesie to dresses and long jumpers and other really helpful categories Hmm

justtheonethen · 24/01/2016 22:41

Side note: NFM can preface anything you like.

Can you guess these?

NFMW
NFMC
NFMST

Can anyone tell I'm not planning my lesson?

Ain626 · 24/01/2016 22:49

Oooh! Guessing games!

Loving your dp's organisational skills there just ! Wooliness! Grin

Ain626 · 24/01/2016 22:51

Genuinely can't think of any words beginning with w right now other than window!!! Hmm Grin

Ain626 · 24/01/2016 22:52

Oh. Wait. WARDROBE!!!!

justtheonethen · 24/01/2016 22:58

Yes ain! NFMW:impossible to find anything!

5hell · 25/01/2016 06:10

NFMC...News from my cats? Wink

stumblymonkey · 25/01/2016 07:11

NFMST....news from my stupid tidier (i.e. DP)? Grin

The categorisation of 'wooliness' made me laugh out loud!

Canters15 · 25/01/2016 07:35

Just! Haha your DH! So funny.

Poa frer and ic this morning. Both have v faint second line but more faint then yesterday ic. Guess it is a chemical then. Thank God I didn't pee when AF due, get a lovely positive test and let myself get excited!

justtheonethen · 25/01/2016 08:12

cats Thanks

Catscatsandmorecats · 25/01/2016 09:08

Heavy bleeding started at 4am, poas for confirmation, now a bfn. I'm completely gutted.

stumblymonkey · 25/01/2016 09:09

Well my AF is definitely on its way so I'll be onto cycle two soon. I did a quick IC just to double check I wasn't spotting for any other reason and it was a definitive BFN.

stumblymonkey · 25/01/2016 09:11

Canters.... Thanks

Sorry to hear that it looks like a chemical (I'm too new to the whole thing to provide any input)....at least the basics of sperm meeting egg are all working. Gx the next one sticks firm X

angelazul · 25/01/2016 09:15

Canters & Cats sorry to hear that, take care of yourselves Flowers

Stumbly boo to the witch & bfn Wine

justtheonethen · 25/01/2016 09:17

Sorry canters I meant you earlier. You poor thing, that's horrible. Be kind to yourself. Thanks

cats, I'm so sorry, that's awful. I think you should go to the doctors now to look at testing. Thanks

justtheonethen · 25/01/2016 09:17

Boo stumbly

LondonGirl83 · 25/01/2016 09:31

canters and cats so sorry for the miscarriages Flowers A lot of us have been there

ain yay for icing and Gx you are upduffed

corgi. If your mil own mum is annoyed you are definitely not being unreasonable wanting your independence! If she can't live in the house she owns she needs to sell it. Imposing on others to hold onto an unrealistic dream is actually selfish

stumbly sorry for bfn and AF (boo)

fart welcome

Catscatsandmorecats · 25/01/2016 09:32

Thanks just, I'm waiting for her to call me back now, she is lovely so I am hopeful she'll sort out getting some bloods done.

Canters, I am glad you are feeling less wobbly now, this is horrible so wobbliness is definitely allowed that's what I am telling myself this morning at least

stumbly sorry to hear the witch has got you.

LondonGirl83 · 25/01/2016 09:38

Okay took a test on Saturday (9 or 10 days post ovulation) and it was a bfn.

DH and I need shots for Vietnam some of which are contraindicated for pregnancy- appointment with gp is today. Was feeling quite nauseated while dtd last night (I might have gagged at one point!). Woke up with sore nips so decided to test again and got the faintest line ever.

I'm going to test again tomorrow to see if I get a proper line but to be safe I'm not getting some of the shots. Keep your fingers crossed for me! AF not due until tomorrow or Wednesday do this was an early test!

stumblymonkey · 25/01/2016 10:11

Got my gx for you London...

Meanwhile I'm considering how early I can reasonably drink alcohol which is the upside of AF making an appearance

FuzzyOwl · 25/01/2016 10:24

Oh Cats, I am so sorry for you. Hope your conversation with your doctor goes well and an investigation is carried out quickly to see if anything can help. Flowers

Canters, I am sending positive vibes that everything is ok with you.

Hello to everyone else and I hope you are all dong well.

corgi88 · 25/01/2016 10:26

cats and canters hope you are OK. Flowers Flowers
cats hope the doctor is nice and you come up with a plan for bloods etc. Get them to check your thyroid! and all the other bloods. Is this your second or third chemical my love?
canters I know what you mean about being glad everything works OK, I took that away from my mc at least!
Keeping my gx for you London
kwick I hope your boobage is behaving...
just your DP sounds hilarious! I wish mine would be that organised! I haven't done anything as organised as chat -have been revising all weekend- though I remember how liberating it was to chuck out allllll my med school notes Grin

justtheonethen · 25/01/2016 10:30

london eek this is exciting! We need to see it.

justtheonethen · 25/01/2016 10:31
