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 'something' = JSing like a teenage nymphomaniac.

Giving a hooya = 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 Lemon = 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.

London sorry you're feeling down, give yourself time and kindness though, ttc can be all-consuming. Flowers

Corgi your attitude is amazing and I love love your theory. You are officially my mentor from now on. Smile

NameChange30 · 15/04/2016 14:36

corgi
Really glad to see that you're doing well and staying positive.
However, I'm having trouble getting my head around the idea that a bikini wax is a treat! Grin

justtheonethen · 15/04/2016 17:39

corgi you're amazing.

duck definitely something there... frer tomorrow!

london this shit is hard, it takes its toll emotionally. Be kind to yourself says the viroid that's given up

Sorry I've been a bit awol, had an internal review/ofsted thing today so I've been up to my eyes preparing. Thankfully lesson and interview went well so I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief!

My bff is pregnant, I'm so jealous and thrilled all at the same time Confused

justtheonethen · 15/04/2016 17:39

Bikini wax treat?! We need to have a chat Grin

MyBlackCat · 15/04/2016 19:11

A bikini wax is a form of torture Shock

corgi88 · 15/04/2016 19:46

Grin the massage is to reward myself after the wax, and the wax is to get me back on the horse/dh!! :D

Kwick709 · 15/04/2016 20:22

corgi you are amazeballs.

Bikini wax - not only is the pain mega but when it grows back that is a form of torture! I had leg bit of my bikini area - if you get my drift- lasered some years ago but I am circa 1970 on my lady garden/forest... I did have a wax when I started with the IUIs but as I said the regrowth was criminal... NO MORE!

just I am glad your stressy day went well :)

ScottishLady7 · 16/04/2016 00:22

AF has arrived and, once again, I had convinced myself that this was the month, almost to the point of complete certainty. I now find myself feeling embarrassed (that I allowed my hopes to escalate quite so high) and bitterly disappointed.

Sorry for the mope- my 24 hrs of wallowing begins now! Then, after 24hrs is up, I will re-focus on my pma (kwick I might need your help there...)

NameChange30 · 16/04/2016 00:36

Gah, sorry Scottish Flowers Wine Chocolate

Silver lining: your baby won't have a Xmas/NY birthday

ScottishLady7 · 16/04/2016 08:38

Thanks Name! Any positive takes on it are much appreciated.

I do need to manage my own hopes and expectations better next month though- this month my unfounded certainty seems to have rubbed off on DH- told him this morning and he's gutted.

His BFF had a baby yesterday and I think it made him even broodier than I am!

stumblymonkey · 16/04/2016 11:41

Sorry about AF Scottish....

I have also been a bit down the past day or so...because both DP & I have had unwanted pregnancies in our 20's well DP didn't have one himself but you know what I mean I just thought it would happen quite quickly and I'm guessing it's my weight that's the issue.

I've eaten a lot of junk since the redundancy notice and am feeling like a big fat pig this morning Confused

So back to PMAs for me inspired by Kwick and self-care inspired by Corgi...'cause you are inspirations innit.

Off to chant PMAs and dress myself up...

AliceScarlett · 16/04/2016 13:15

Sorry about AF Scottish. Hopefully this cycle won't be so disappointing either way, if that makes any sense.

Stumbly It's hard when you're down about something so you do the thing that helps in the short term but just adds to what you're down about in the first place... I can relate. Today is a new day though, you can get back on that SW horse.

I'm almost writing off cycles 1-3 now, that ewcm showed me that my fertility is returning after contraception, I think it just took 3 months. I took it for granted that I iced and maybe I did and maybe I'm also taking it for granted now, but I'm convinced that this cycle my body is actually having a 'normal' cycle. Gx I won't see cycle 5. Week til AF.

coribeth · 16/04/2016 22:43

So predictably af turned up right on cue funny thing is I'm not even that bothered cos we have been trying so long now I can't believe it will happen just pissed off cos it's the weekend and we're both off and can't shag! Confused

ScottishLady7 · 17/04/2016 01:29

Flowers cori! I'm so sorry you're not feeling too hopeful. How long have you been trying for now?

ScottishLady7 · 17/04/2016 01:30

Also, feel your pain about the shagging! DH has been so lovely over the last few days, I'm annoyed at AF for stopping me from jumping him!

AnotherRubberDuck · 17/04/2016 07:41

So, as requested, here is my poas from this morning.

Didn't shag much this cycle due to staying at friends' and being ill over what we thought was fertile period. Really wasn't expecting it but must have invoked law of sod as we didn't want a Christmas baby we also said that about June because it's too near my and dh's birthdays but is exactly what happened with ds

MyBlackCat · 17/04/2016 08:29

Wahoooo another welcome to the mad house. I've known two weeks now and it's been the longest two weeks ever, waiting for something to go wrong. It hasn't that I know of yet, got a scan in 10 days which are going to last forever Shock have a great healthy happy next 8 months x

AliceScarlett · 17/04/2016 08:33

coribeth · 17/04/2016 22:47

Scottish we've been trying for over 4years now seems longer think I've lost the faith! We had all the tests can't find much wrong my dp has slightly low motility but nothing major and I'm now 40 with a slightly irregular cycle (29 -35 days) although it's mostly 31! We tried Clomid but no luck and can't afford ivf so I'm beginning to face the inevitable! Sorry total moan! Hmm
Nice one another congrats! Grin
