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.

Ooh your honeymoon sounds fab! I'll duly hand out a hooyah but Gx this is it for you!

Af due today I think, but could be due tomorrow. After last months fiasco I'm reading nothing into it for a while. Especially as I don't think the one shag we had in fertile time will have done it somehow! Boobs are still sore though and normally die down before af.

justtheonethen · 11/01/2016 22:44

I've been to Vietnam, sailing on our own (manned) boat through Halong bay was the most amazing experience I've ever had. Just breathtaking although it's bastard hot and you will get stung by jellyfish if you swim

coribeth · 12/01/2016 00:24

Good luck to any of you docs striking tomorrow hope Jeremy finally learns the true meaning of negotiations instead of trying bully boy slur tactics! Hmm

coribeth · 12/01/2016 00:25

Hmm technically today as just realised it is gone midnight! Grin

Canters15 · 12/01/2016 09:16

Lovely to read a positive message re the strike cori, I am time and time again delighted by the public response. Less delighted to be walking into the NHS shit storm when back from honeymoon however, but we'll try not to think about that.

In addition to the boob issues (tmi alert) I am having loads of creamy cm. Didn't think anything of it until I logged into ovia earlier and the app promptly wet itself with excitement. Going to feel like such a fool when AF arrives. I do wonder how long it takes to get to the point when you stop fricking symptom spotting.

Just if AF doesn't rock up tomorrow will you, um, test? Feeling hopeful for some Christmas magic for you.

Also Vietnam sounds amazing. Want to go.

SockQueen · 12/01/2016 10:22

Thank you cori - good to have all our colleagues on board! I'm on nights, so not striking as it's part of emergency cover, but fully backing everyone going out there today.

Canters are you a doctor too?! This is a very medical JS crew!

LondonGirl83 · 12/01/2016 11:16

Canters- I haven't been to HK before so really excited about that as well. We have friends who are living there at the moment (they've been there for 3 years and are coming back to the UK in the spring). We figured now would be a good time to visit and see Vietnam which has been on my list for a while. Its my first time to Asia (I've been to every other continent) so I'm really psyched to see some place so different to where I've already been.

LondonGirl83 · 12/01/2016 11:22

NFMV- DH was not in the mood the shag last night but we did manage a quick shag this morning! I also got some ovulation bleeding last night so I'm pretty sure I am icing today-- only had a very gentle temp rise this morning so I don't think it happened yesterday. Should be able to confirm tomorrow morning with full on temp spike like normal.

I haven't had an ovulation bleed since I got pregnant in the fall so I am taking it as a positive sign. 2 shags withing the 48 hours of icing isn't too bad. Because I have slightly short cycles (25-26 days normally) and long periods there is usually only a few days between AF ending and icing.

TWW wait officially begins now! I should know just before my holiday what's what.

justtheonethen · 12/01/2016 13:51

Good luck strikers.

NFMV: f all
NFMB: sore

I don't know if I'll test. I don't have any in house so it would have to buy one, and I know I'll be annoyed if af starts as I'll have wasted money again. I feel like it's coming, feel crampy and grumpy. Only thing different from normal is sore boobs still.
I'm blatantly not pregnant, I need a slap for even debating it.

justtheonethen · 12/01/2016 19:22

Right who is up for the monthly "let's pretend we can see a line" game?

I think I can see the squintiest of squinters but I always do. So, thoughts? I've put it into black and white so you can see I'm not insane but that obviously doesn't help with evapness.

This is usually all my wayward period needs to come in full force! No sign of it though and boobs still sore.

Ooo madam you should have waited for fmu!! Difficult one to call again. Does look like something but don't want to get carried away pet. Gx

angelazul · 12/01/2016 19:50

Just I can't see anything in the colour pic, but possibly the slightest hint of a line in the b&w one. Have you any tests left to try again in the morning??

justtheonethen · 12/01/2016 19:54

I'm not going to test tomorrow I don't think. I'm pretty sure I'm deluding myself so I expect af will come tomorrow. I'll test again Thursday but fairly sure I won't get that far!

Kwick709 · 12/01/2016 20:12

just i am keeping gx for you

Feel like I should be a doctor... Afraid closest I got was starting a phd but never completed as I realised that I HATE studying! Went on mgt training program instead and now many years and jobs later have a job I love (albeit a tad stressful what with all the travel and deadlines). Anyway much love and support to strikers... Am not in uk right now so not up to speed on details of strike - hope you get what you want.

Boobage is still very sore and hairs that grow out of mole on face are rampant as is usual pre-af ... Am not holding out much hope but I just do not know what I will do if 5th iui fails...

Am off to bed. Sweet dreams/baby-making chukka-chukka to all.

ChatEnOeuf · 12/01/2016 21:13

What a medical crowd we are. Thanks for the support too - it's a decision none have taken lightly. I was in and stayed late and I'm glad I did - NICU residents show no respect for strikes, public holidays or anything similar.

Just I hope she stays away Flowers

Kwick where are you?

Ain626 · 12/01/2016 22:16

just I think I can see something on the black and white pic... I really hope so. I have my gx for you!

We really do seem to have a medical crowd on here.. I just want to tell you guys that I fully support your strikes. Smile

Nfms (scales) - (well actually from sw scales) - down 2.5 this week. Good, but not good enough to get back to pre-Christmas weight. I think I worked out I need to lose an average of 2.3lbs a week to hit what I want to be before my fc appointment for any chance of getting clomid.. I think that they'll put off giving me clomid then too, but at least if the weight is coming off I can prove I am trying to help myself...

Canters15 · 12/01/2016 22:55

I am sock, you too? Bloody hell trust me to find the medical crowd on mn!

Just, I can see something, very much so on the black and white photo. That said I am good at convincing myself of squinter presence too. Gx.

KitKat1985 · 13/01/2016 01:11

I can see a squinter Just! xx

Hobbit19 · 13/01/2016 04:33

Morning Viroids! Well done to all the medical types working/striking today!

Just I can see a squinter but I have never known anyone to get as many mind - screwing false positives as you my love so I shall contain my optimism for now, but will keep everything crossed for you. Gx.

Kwick709 · 13/01/2016 07:23

chat today I am in frankfurt, yesterday madrid and tomorrow who knows (ok maybe Paris)!

Docs good luck today :)

Just please do another test with fmu!

Boobage ache continues as does heavy womble and rampant mole hair growth... Methinks I have been here before.

KitKat1985 · 13/01/2016 09:03

Did you POAS again today Just?

I meant to say last night good luck to any junior docs on strike yesterday, but I was Mumsnetting in the middle of the night (was up because DD was teething and crying) and had done a 14 hour shift in the day previous, and my brain didn't engage properly! I hope the government listen to your requests. I work as a mental-health nurse and am feeling deeply despondent about the future of the NHS at the moment. I think the government are deliberately trying to make the NHS fail so they can push through a privatised agenda. Sad

Kwick how come you do so much globe-trotting? Is it work related?

honeysucklejasmine · 13/01/2016 09:06

I can see it Just. Gx for you and a big FUCK OFF for AF.

justtheonethen · 13/01/2016 09:50

Got the same this morning so I think it must be an evap. It would be clearer if it was real. As pud said I've been here before! No af though. Sure it's negative though and feeling totally fed up

KitKat1985 · 13/01/2016 09:56

Can you post a pic Just?
