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.

just what is on your potential holiday list? totally looking for inspiration, hope you don't mind!

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 21:24

I'm feeling crappy too, I'm also in bed. Have already decided I'm leaving work at lunchtime as I have no class then and coming back to bed.

Holiday list is

Thailand
Malaysia
Phillipines

Ones that have zika so are crossed off are:
Mexico
Cape Verde
Brazil
Colombia

Just can't decide if zika is going to rip through Asia or not. I want to go at Easter

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 21:25

Call in sick ain, spend a day in bed. I would do same if I wasn't covering for someone.

angelazul · 01/02/2016 21:29

Thanks vidroids, cycles have been 25-27 days, think I'll start testing around cd6-7.

Ain the thought had crossed my mind Wink Hope you're feeling better soon

Just current travel advie doesn't mention Thailand at all, so you should be fine www.gov.uk/government/news/zika-virus-travel-advice-for-pregnant-women

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 21:39

I am so tempted to do just that just part of me is thinking that all of this is psychological, but if it is then my mind deserves a day off too right? or am l clutching at straws here?

On the plus side I nearly always set up my classroom in the evenings before I got home, and I did do that tonight, so it's all ready to go for if I call in sick and they get a supply in...

I want to explore more of Asia. DH isn't really up for it though. I need a travelling buddy... he's rubbish and has pretty much limited himself to Europe and North America.

MyBlackCat · 01/02/2016 21:42

I've started the summer holiday search tonight but as I'm not a keen flier, we are focusing on Europe. Really liked Croatia last year so that's an option as is Italy. Been looking at adult only hotels - that's not code for swingers is it??

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 21:43

I love Asia, if it helps dp was very sceptical and before me was more of an all inclusive kind of guy. He adores travelling around and exploring now.

justtheonethen · 01/02/2016 21:43

Ha ha, don't think so black!

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 22:14

Haha black !
I'd you don't like flying how are you with boats? Ever considered cruising?

I'm working on him just slowly but surely... maybe one day I'll get him to Asia. Or Africa...

I really want to go to south America, but that is off the list for the time being.

We have no holidays booked at the min. Undecided on what to do, if anything, this year. Considering Ireland (I love it there, DH never been), but other than that nothing in the pipeline. I'm debating a week somewhere cheap and cheerful in an adult only hotel (not to go swinging black Wink ) just to chill out for a bit. Normally I like to have a bit of chilling out, with mostly getting to see new places, but I think I need to just chill for a bit!

stumblymonkey · 01/02/2016 22:23

Hello viroids...have been reading the thread but only just time to chip in now.

Kwick...much luck and hand holding for tomorrow. I shall think of you in the afternoon. Can you relax at home in the evening with a hot water bottle or are you flying off again for work?

I used to travel a lot for work but not so much now though I have a day trip to Dublin next Tuesday.

We're saving for house deposit and mat leave so we're only having a weekend away to Stockholm Sad I used to travel a lot before I met DP and started saving for grown up stuff....

I love Asia! Shame about Zika as my absolute number one travel tip is Belize...it is tres amazing! Probably in the Zika area now though...

stumblymonkey · 01/02/2016 22:29

PS...AF finished yesterday. Tomorrow I will be pinning on my brand new cape (it's sequinned!) Wink

FuzzyOwl · 01/02/2016 22:47

Will be thinking of you at 2.30 Kwick.

Definitely go to Malaysia Just. I have really fond memories of when I went backpacking and spent time there.

Ain626 · 01/02/2016 23:36

Brown cm is practically non existent. Am wearing new (got for Christmas) pj's to try and invoke los.. though with a panty liner just in case

Cramping is stopping me from getting comfy for yet another night. Am liking the idea more and more of calling in sick and trying to catch up on sleep!

Illiria · 02/02/2016 03:25

Hi Just have you considered Hawaii? Not Asia but still awesome and less likely to have Zika.

corgi glad the witch has left

Sorry the witch has got angel, hope you have a good time in Rome

Ain sorry you are feeling crap

Canters15 · 02/02/2016 07:38

Good luck kwick! It'll all be over before you know it.

Sorry you're feeling ill ain. Def call in sick. Maybe your body is trying to tell you that you need a duvet day.

Last day working in gp today! Sob!

Ain626 · 02/02/2016 08:16

Good luck today Kwick as canters says it will all be over before you know it!

canters what's lined up next?

I did call in sick today though I already had a duvet weekend... but maybe I do just need another day...

Nfmv - nada. Even the brown cm has gone. Cramping, feeling queasy, etc, very much still here. Also have woken up feeling sad and a bit in shock as had a really horrible dream in the couple of hours where I actually managed to sleep. Sad

honeysucklejasmine · 02/02/2016 08:21

Good job on phoning in sick Ain. Now whatever you do, do not fall for the "teacher guilt" shit. Your health is important too.

Ain626 · 02/02/2016 08:27

Thanks honey I am already feeling guilty. I think I needed your post!

I am enjoying being curled up with my duvet at half 8 in the morning though!

honeysucklejasmine · 02/02/2016 09:11

Good. Stay there. In fact, see how long you can manage to stay in bed for. I have made it to midday recently before getting too hungry. Wink

Ain626 · 02/02/2016 12:12

Haha honey ! I fell asleep again until about 10.45. Since then I've managed to have some breakfast. I also went into the garden briefly. It was lovely out there. So fresh. But I couldn't stay out there too long before needing to come back inside.. I've retreated to the sofa with a blanket.. still feeling tired.

honeysucklejasmine · 02/02/2016 12:30

Good work Ain. Take it easy, relax.

ScottishLady7 · 02/02/2016 12:48

Good luck today, Kwick!!

Good work on the duvet day Ain - I had one of those on Friday!!

FuzzyOwl · 02/02/2016 13:24

Hope your duvet day helps Ain

Thinking of you Kwick.

Canters15 · 02/02/2016 13:54

Good work ain. Don't feel guilty. I really do feel it's better to have one day off and head things off then keep going and end up properly unwell and off for a week. Are you going to do another preg test btw?

I'm onto psychiatry next which I'm quite looking forward to. Will miss my current practice though.

Got bad ov pains this morning and donned the cape last night so hoping sperm is currently meeting egg somewhere in my lady parts! Come on gametes you can do this!

justtheonethen · 02/02/2016 14:01

ain you needed a day off, no guilt required.

kwick good luck today! Let us know how it goes Thanks
