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.

Haha. cori I have been using Facebook a lot less lately..

Illiria · 31/01/2016 22:28

Argh I hate that motherhood challenge bollocks, Wish my friends who did struggle with ttc would remember the struggle and stop being such smug gits now they have kids.

I never thought I would say this but thank fuck for Ann summers. All the similar stores over here are shady as fuck, Still stuck in the old man in a trench coat going in and coming out with a mag in a brown paper bag era. Have brought myself some Valentine's Day presents and am so grateful for their international shipping being only £3.99. Now to convince DH he is even mildly kinky Hmm

Ain sorry you have been feeling down

kwick hope d&c isn't too bad, had a similar type of thing after the miscarriage and they gave me pretty nice drugs for it. Vicodin and lithium I think.

Wine to everyone whose 'd'p/h are giving them hassle.

Now off to complete paperwork to convince the US immigration department that DH and I are in a real relationship Angrycan't wait till next year when I can apply for citizenship and start the process of never having to deal with them again.

lildottie · 31/01/2016 22:38

Good point about father's ain

ill granted I don't have a baby yet but I don't get how people can just forget the struggle and become insensitive pricks. My dh included there actually as he put our scan pic on fb when I'd said I wasn't going to for fear of inflicting the same pain on someone else as I spent years facing.

Tbh I think fb has had its day. Noone actually posts any more, they just share random shit and like random shit. I'm only on there for the js Facebook groups. Which you lot have let go very quiet by the way!

Illiria · 01/02/2016 02:29

Damn cat AngryWell paperwork isn't being done as he has decided I have to be sat on, when I go to the laptop he jumps onto it and lies down. Apparently he doesn't care if I get to stay in the country Hmm

Kwick709 · 01/02/2016 05:47

Just caused a bit of a fuss at Heathrow as I refused to go through one of the new bodyscanners Blush but how do they know it us safe??? Where is the empirical evidence???? Hopefully will sleep on flight... Already exhausted and it is only Monday!

Yep my op is tomorrow... All going on this week:
4 flights
3 countries
1 op

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 06:37

Wow Kwick extra busy week for you. What are the flights for?

I booked flights this weekend - to go up north! It was cheaper than booking train tickets!

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 07:08

So suspected 14 dpo today. Poas. Bfn. Sad

I wouldn't mind if af would show up.

Getting fed up with my feeling a bit sick, skittletits, and cramps. Come on af, you must be hiding in there somewhere! Come out come out where ever you are....

corgi88 · 01/02/2016 11:23

ain I didn't get a bfp until about cd35. So you're not out until the witch arrives! Just remember how positive it is that you have iced! Whoop

corgi88 · 01/02/2016 11:39

Also what kind of stick did you poas?

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 12:16

I'm currently on cd 57 I think! But I guess that doesn't mean anything if I only suspected I iced 14 days ago..

It was just an ic. I have a frer in the cupboard (from when they were selling them cheap one time) for if I get any hints on an ic...

I feel sick still. And when I just went to the loo I had the smallest amount of brown ish tinged cm. Maybe it is a natural AF on her way? And maybe it's not as bad as I think it is, but because this is all new for me it just seems bad? If that makes sense?

I don't think I can stomach lunch, I've made a cup of tea.. not sure if I can stomach even that at the min...

corgi88 · 01/02/2016 13:06

poafrer poafrer!!

honeysucklejasmine · 01/02/2016 13:17

Ain so many pregnancy symptoms are also PMT symptoms. It's a total bitch. Personally I would wait a few days and see if anything comes from this brown cm.

If it fizzles amout to nothing, crack out a frer. ICs are a bit rubbish really.

I am now v tempted to go and POAIC to see if it goes positive. I had to do some serious photo editing to show up the "line" on the ic I did for my BFP!

honeysucklejasmine · 01/02/2016 13:19

For reference, here is my IC line.

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 16:45

Cracking line there honey Wink

ain try again tomorrow. Gx

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 16:46

Hi ill hope your cat let you do your paperwork!

kwick love that you made a fuss. Bet that went down well!

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 16:52

I can see the pinkish tinge of your second line there honey this was my attempt to invert mine. Definitely a bfn. I'd have to draw on a pink line to edit mine to be positive! Haha. Wink

Brown cm still there. Not getting heavier yet.. I kinda hope it would just get on with it. Lol. If it doesn't develop into anything then maybe I'll poaic again in the morning..

Canters15 · 01/02/2016 18:24

Ive got a positive opk!!! Wahoooooooooo!! After my little strop over the weekend I'm happy again now. Also makes sense why month 1 and 2 TTC failed....I was concentrating my efforts around the wrong time! Sadly DH is away tomorrow which means we'll miss our best time shag this month but at least I know when I ov now.

This mother hood fb thing can fricking do one. I'm going to start an ode to alcohol instead. 5 pictures that make me happy to drink....

Sorry about the bfn ain. Here's hoping it's just early. But please be happy your body is finally doing what it's meant to. It's fantastic news.

Kwick709 · 01/02/2016 18:42

All my flights are for work - I am normally on at least one trip a week. Just waiting to take off back to Heathrow - today was a day trip... For lunch I had pasteis de nata... Can you guess where I was?! My op is 2.30pm tomorrow... Am getting nervous :(

corgi88 · 01/02/2016 18:46

oooh kwick was it Portugal?? Sounds amazing! Good luck for tomorrow pet, I am sure it will be fine.
Congrats on the positive OPK canters! (I am expecting my stash of contraband to arrive soon.... yes I caved!) When is the best time to shag - just before ovulation? if it is, won't today be your best day? whoop!
nfmv: AF has finished after hanging around rather too long, so glad the WTF cycle is over Grin
nfmb (bar): planning a campari and orange tonight.

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 18:47

Portugal!

Don't be nervous, you will be fine. Here for handholding

angelazul · 01/02/2016 19:52

Good news on the positive opk canters, at least you know when you ice now

Good luck for tomorrow kwick

Corgi glad to hear the witch has gone & wtf cycle is finished - time to get cape on again

So the witch got me today Sad Although I'm not as upset as I thought I would be, I'm looking at the positives - at least I can enjoy copious amounts of pinot grigio when we go to Rome in a couple of weeks & the rugby at the weekend Grin My contraband arrived over the weekend, when should I start testing? I was thinking maybe about cd6/7?

FuzzyOwl · 01/02/2016 20:17

Sorry Angelazul and no harm in starting on cd6 if you don't know when you ice, as at least you won't miss it if you are earlier than expected.

I think I might post about my cats on FB instead of the motherhood thing as well...

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 20:45

Sorry angel Thanks how long's your cycle? You could start testing then, no harm done if you're using cheapies!

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 21:07

Well there's a few countries I can cross off my potential holiday list due to zika virus! I know Thailand has had it in past, what do you reckon to chances again?

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 21:20

Sorry the witch got you angel if you're going to Rome in a couple weeks there's a chance you could be icing then.. Wink
And if you're using ic's it wouldn't harm to use them from pretty early on to get a better idea of your cycle. but of course no one on this thread is suggesting anything... Wink ..

I'm still feeling crappy. I came to add early and am lying here watching inside out. Depending on how I'm feeling tomorrow I might take the day off tomorrow. I always feel guilty if I take a sick day though, and I don't do it very often.
