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.

Get shagging Zyla!

We need a new Fred soon... Did anyone offer to do it? I don't mind if someone can remind me of things to go in the title, my mind has gone blank!

AliceScarlett · 03/02/2016 18:10

I'm reading along, just giving up nicotine replacement atm and want to kill everyone. Glad my fw is next week not this one.

don't get too close, its not safe Angry

Canters15 · 03/02/2016 18:31

Arghhhh cats what a knob your fanny is being. Def poas to double check though. I think acid fanny is a potential component of the next fred title, it has made me giggle unreasonably!

My womble is cramping like mad today. Ov only yesterday so def nothing preg related. V annoying.

Had the biggest waste of my life at induction today. A full day of pointless talks. Grrrr. About to have a glass of wine to make up for it.

Totally normal to examine leakage ain. There are no boundaries when it comes to TTC!

FuzzyOwl · 03/02/2016 18:49

Yay, the witch has finally gone but I still have over a week until FF reckons I will be entering my fertile time. I feel a bit achy so am going to dig out the cape for the weekend and hope this month is my lucky one. Have just started fertility acupuncture and will see my GP if I still haven't conceived by next month.

I think we all need a few glasses of wine or at least some chocolate tonight.

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 19:24

fuzzy how is the fertility acupuncture going? I was just talking about that on another thread... I'm debating giving it a go. Figure if it's relaxing it might also help with destressing so even if it doesn't help with fertility it would have positive effects? Nervous about giving it a go though.. I know Lil was a fan of acupuncture though if I remember correctly...

Thanks to canters for making me feel a bit more normal!

coribeth · 03/02/2016 19:25

Really considering going to bed exhausted plus toothache not a good combo and am feeling somewhat dismayed due to the fact I took two ibuprofen in toothache induced desperation then remembered I'm in tww and really shouldn't haveShock on a positive note though I have eaten copious amounts of Mexican takeaway for dinner so all is good! Grin would volunteer to do new Fred however due to the fact I'm a techno idiot have no idea how to!!! ConfusedHmm

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 19:27

Decided I'm definitely pregnant Wink, can't stand the smell of my cat, dp, dps shower gel that I could smell in the bottle which ruined my bath or the smell of my house! That and the chocolate I demanded dp bring home tasted crap and so I didn't eat it Shock

So that's it, I'm obviously pregnant. No tests required. disclaimer: I'm obviously kidding. I do know 9 dpo is too early for symptoms!

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 19:28

I've stopped the acupuncture as I hated it, didn't find it relaxing at all.

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 19:29

And it fucking hurt!

FuzzyOwl · 03/02/2016 19:31

So when will you POAS Just?!

Well I am not pregnant Ain so I consider it to not be going well! Grin Then again, I only began this week. The only two times in my life I have got pregnant are both times when I was having acupuncture for fertility (amongst other things) but I honestly have no idea how much it helped. I shall keep you posted...

FuzzyOwl · 03/02/2016 19:32

The only places I have ever found acupuncture to hurt is in the ears (for morning sickness?) and the hands (arthritis) when they were cold and sore anyway. Otherwise I really don't find it painful and have had it on and off for over a decade. Luckily my work health insurance pays for it!

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 19:33

Oh god now I feel I should have kept up the acupuncture.

I'll poas when I'm late like a good js'er! Wink

Kwick709 · 03/02/2016 19:43

just I am not a big fan of acupuncture either after having a particularly harrowing treatment a few years ago where I was literally stabbed and then massaged until I bruised all in a bid to lose weight. I then went for about 8 months to another practioner, less painful but really not my fav thing.

ChatEnOeuf · 03/02/2016 19:51

That's right, Just Star

Well volunteered Ain! I just have a nose through this Fred for things that made me laugh, form a sentence, or poem if I can be bothered Grin. Copy and paste the first post, redo the links to the Grads and the Mumming Freds (which may have changed since this one was done), as well as the various articles and other threads links. Make bold any names in the first post and hey presto! Remember to change the number in the title! Then come back here and post as a link :)

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 19:53

Interesting - mixed responses there. I will look in to it a little more. It does seem expensive though, that's my only issue... And I would have to pay for it myself...

Right, I'm offski for a shower. If there's no new fred when I get back I will make one, but don't expect the title to be great. Wink If anyone else wants to step in and do it whilst I'm gone seriously go for it! Grin

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 20:03

Go for it ain! I'm not eloquent enough. Tis meant to be lucky though, just saying Smile

coribeth · 03/02/2016 20:19

I had acupuncture for a bad back once wasn't at all painful my gp did it so didn't cost anything and really seemed to help! Wonder if I should indulge in the fertility variety! Hmm

justtheonethen · 03/02/2016 20:19

That was my main issue with it, they wanted me to go every week and it stressed me out spending £160-200 per month Angry

FuzzyOwl · 03/02/2016 20:27

Since my fertility acupuncture is beginning this week, we can see how long if ever it takes for me to get pregnant.

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 20:43

Right... Shower has been had, I'm officially all squeaky clean! I'm going to get on making this new fred. Apologies in advance for a bad fred title! Hmm

CountryGal4 · 03/02/2016 21:02

Ain your a JSer .... You'll never really be clean Grin

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 21:02

Sorry viroids... laptop had a funny 5 mins and wouldn't let me do anything. Turn it off and on again. Makes everything work!

New Fred is HERE

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 21:02

Haha!!!! Country !! Wink

Ain626 · 03/02/2016 21:05

We are done here viroids. Over and out!
