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 Scottish. I needed to hear that. I am a bit of a stress head and probably not the sort of person who should be doing opks- another stick to beat myself with! Of course I did another this evening which was a lot darker. I guess I will ice when DH away with work next week....bloody typical!

Good luck with the in law dinner party stumbly!

I will sign up to this baby making voodoo too kwick!

stumblymonkey · 31/01/2016 18:52

For jokes I just googled 'baby making voodoo' and came across this thread on Babycentre.

It's left me speechless.

community.babycenter.com/post/a16198805/fertility_ritualspells

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 19:21

Interesting Stumbly

I'm all for people believing whatever they want to believe (so long as they are not hurting anyone or forcing people to agree with their beliefs). And if people really believe in these things, good on them! wonders if they do really work...

angelazul · 31/01/2016 19:53

Stumbly you're not the only one speechless!! I'm feeling a little delicate today nothing to do with the wine last night & my poor wee head is struggling to take it all in.

The witch was due yesterday, still no sign of her making an appearance. I fear she's teasing me Angry Had a bit of a melt-down yesterday after the bfn. Was feeling a bit more positive today, then found out hubby's friends are pg, they've been ttc roughly the same amount of time as us & she's 12 week already Sad Sad Sad

justtheonethen · 31/01/2016 19:53

stumbly mind blown Shock what a crock of shite! goes to sew tiny me doll

justtheonethen · 31/01/2016 19:53

angel you're not out til witch comes. Gx

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 20:01

Angel As Just says - you're not out until AF shows up. And remember that just because others are getting pg doesn't mean you won't. I can't remember the wording, but there was something to the effect that there isn't a limited pool of babies... Or something like that. Can someone else help me out there? I think I need to remember this myself sometimes!

Kwick709 · 31/01/2016 20:04

Viroids please know that I definitely did not mean sticking needles into anything!! I can only find the office voodoo kit and the love voodoo kit (which incidentally has not worked for me :()

angel keeping gx for you.

Okay everyone call the midwife is on!

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 20:09

Ooo... Don't talk too much about Call the Midwife - I'm currently behind, I have last weeks on my sky box still, so this weeks is recording.

MyBlackCat · 31/01/2016 20:25

Hello viroids, I'm just back from a weekend away with friends where I ate and drank far too much Grin I'm now going to go for dry February - must try everything I guessAngry

just appointment is week tomorrow. Fertile period next cycle coincides with DH being away skiing so unless I Ov early that will be another one that passes us by. Wonder how long it will be until we get IVF Hmm

I had a catch up but have forgotten most. kwick (I think) hope all goes well on Tuesday x

Can't believe jelly has done a baby already, makes me feel old Sad but obviously totally happy for all the viroids getting upduffed and doing babies Smile

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 20:32

Sounds like a good weekend away Black! Grin

Talking of weekends away - DH and I want to have a quiet weekend away soon. Nothing crazy, just a nice chance to get away. And that we don't waste a lot of time driving to. Anywhere up to about an hour and a half or so drive from Heathrow Airport (my closest key landmark). Any ideas viroids?

lildottie · 31/01/2016 20:33

Dropping in to rant, please forgive me for just waltzing in, but this fucking motherhood challenge on Facebook is doing my pissing head in. Like your life is only worth posting about if you have kid. What a bunch of bollocks.

Sorry. I feel better now. As you were!

justtheonethen · 31/01/2016 20:42

I might do a cat mummy appreciation post. Wink
Self indulgent wankers Angry

Sounds lovely black, glad appointment is soon. Fingers crossed for early icing next cycle.

ain what about bath/Oxford/Salisbury?

justtheonethen · 31/01/2016 20:42

Something like this

There's Chickens up Trees and BOGOF Deals from the Stork! We're Seeking out the Magic Potion whilst avoiding the Rogue Penis - Don't Flash your Cat, it's JS 57!
Ain626 · 31/01/2016 20:51

just I got nominated for some pet thing where you post photos of your pet for 5 days. Whilst I am a bit more tolerant of this one I still probably won't do it, though I did add an extra pic of my pup earlier...

Also... we went to Longleat last summer, and bath for the Christmas markets recently.. that kind of distance is really top of what we'd like to do. Don't really want to waste our weekend travelling.

Oxford could be nice.. though possibly close enough to do as a day trip (though nothing to say we can't turn it into a weekend trip!) Was also thinking maybe something Norfolk way or south coast way.. to be fair, the place doesn't really matter. DH and I have a few days away here and there lined up with friends but nothing with each other so want to book something!

MyBlackCat · 31/01/2016 21:01

FFS and I know I'm way too late to the party on this BUT fucking motherhood posts - have people no fucking thoughts for others? We are not all lucky enough to kids so go fuck off with your fucking self absorbed posts you fuckers

As you were.......

MyBlackCat · 31/01/2016 21:02

We should totally do one about cats though GrinGrinGrin

lildottie · 31/01/2016 21:13

Yes definitely a cats one. Or I was thinking a share 3 photos of why life is great without kids one - foreign holiday pics, booze, lie ins etc etc!

ain I didn't realise there was a part one too. Maybe there's another group like us lot who hate it and are rebelling!

lildottie · 31/01/2016 21:13

Pets not part. Stupid phone

SockQueen · 31/01/2016 21:27

WTF is a motherhood challenge? Glad I haven't seen any of that crap on my FB yet, but I suspect it's only a matter of time. I've hidden some of the most annoying baby-obsessed friends though.

ChatEnOeuf · 31/01/2016 21:45

I've been tagged in this motherhood challenge jobby too (three pictures of motherhood, tag X friends who are great mothers...usual FB crap). Really got my goat. I'm going to post three photographs representing the challenges of motherhood rather than some more pictures of random happy shit. One of my friends has posted three things she needs after a motherhood challenge (gin, chocolate and cake). Much better way of doing it.

Ain I love Norfolk, we go at least a couple of times a year. Lots of lovely walks and things to see and do. It will probably take you about 2.5 hours, though. Maybe Dorset? I love the coast.

Not out yet, Angel - GX

Can't remember much else, but I drink moderately during the first two weeks and slightly less in the TWOT. If I didn't, I'd have been unnecessarily sober for two years and frankly, that's enough to make anyone open the wine.

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 22:03

W

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 22:04

Oops. Didn't mean to post a w!

Ain626 · 31/01/2016 22:13

I meant to say something along the lines of that I think you are right chat and that Norfolk might be further than we'd really want to go.. if it was for a long weekend it wouldn't be so bad, but we are likely to either have to drive Friday night after work or Saturday morning, then back around Sunday lunchtime. Unless we do something in school holidays...

Lil maybe the pet one is rebelling against the motherhood one. Also, what about fatherhood. Why is it just mothers?

More cramping and feeling queasy. Also, hurt my nip earlier with the towel after my shower (all I did was wrap the towel around me, I wasn't trying out any kung fu type moves in my bathroom). I'm hoping this all means af will show up soon! Fed up of being sensitive (both in terms of skittletits and my mood!)

coribeth · 31/01/2016 22:15

Hmm hardly ever go on fb to much other more interesting things to do! My sister loves it she was going on at me when we were at my mums about how I'm never on and why which really pissed me off so I told her I didn't feel the need to let the world know when I was ironing! Blush she hasn't spoke to me since oops!
Gx to those awaiting af that she stays away! I think I will probs get mine over dp birthday which will be annoying as have booked lovely hotel and meal out etc..!
Flowers for all the viroids having a hard time at the moment!
