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.

Congratulations Mimi! Grin

I haven't posted for a while but I've been lurking and enjoying everyone's updates.. Sending positive vibes to you all!

Not much to report here... I got a small part time job for 2 days a week which isn't massively exciting but it's a step in the right direction and an improvement on being unemployed! If I get pregnant I should be able to claim SMP or Maternity Allowance so that's good.

Today is CD7 so I will be getting back on the horse DH soon!

kwick · 30/05/2016 20:46

LOL namechange very funny horse/DH comment Grin

CONGRATS mimi!!!! Hope you have started a run of BFPs!
Also mega thanks for AF reassurance :) I need to make the most of this time also - like eat loads of soft cheese, have lots of baths, rare steak, shellfish, etc, etc

Catscatsandmorecats · 31/05/2016 12:40

Mimi I think you're looking pretty good to stop poasing now Grin

Kwick I had to wait over 6 weeks for AF after my first mc. I think anything goes annoyingly in the wtf cycle. Definitely enjoy some time eating and drinking and bathing like crazy.

name that is great news on the job, as you say definitely an improvement. I am looking forward to getting back on the horse too Grin

coribeth · 31/05/2016 22:52

Congrats mimi Grin nice lines!

MimiDiddy · 01/06/2016 12:27

Thanks everyone for the support, I might have poas yet again this morning Blush. The test line showed before the control! I swear I'm putting the pee sticks down now. Also have nauseous, am absolutely knackered and am constantly going to the loo, and I'm only bloody 4+5! All good signs, I hope.

Name good luck with the new job 👍

I've got my gx for everyone on the thread, you ladies really have helped keep me sane and laughing through all the this ttc madness we put ourselves though. Cheers Wine

kwick · 01/06/2016 18:30

This is great news mimi! I may have continued to POAS until week 7

Still no sign of af Envy

Just had dinner but feel like I could fit in another meal... HOW WILL I EVER LOSE WEIGHT???!!!!

ZylaB · 01/06/2016 21:20

I sort of wasnt here properly before, but did say hi. Looks like I'm checking back in. Lost my baby at 8+4 yesterday, so will be in wtf cycle. I'll try and actually contribute more this time.

angelazul · 01/06/2016 21:35

Zyla sorry to hear your news, hope you're taking care of yourself xx

Name great news on the job front!!

Mimi that's fantastic news, congratulations!! Gx for a super sticky bean.

Cats glad the witch finally showed up & you're onto a shiny new cycle.

Kwick boo to still no sign of the witch, although deffo take advantage of it while you can.

Nothing much to report here. Had a lovely relaxing holiday with plenty of sun, sand, sea & shagging Wink No tracking at all this cycle, not even cm, & feeling so much more chilled about it all. Not sure if it'll stay that way throughout the twot though ...

NameChange30 · 01/06/2016 22:18

ZylaB I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself Flowers

angel Sounds like a wonderful holiday, glad you enjoyed it and managed to relax about TTC but also shag lots - excellent!

And thanks all for the job congrats. I was feeling lukewarm about it but I enjoyed my first day - not a dream job but a nice enough organisation and it feels good to be employed again at last! I did have to request holiday as we have a few trips already booked, felt a bit awkward but they were fine about it thankfully!

ChatEnOeuf · 02/06/2016 17:35

Hi Zyla, squashy hugs from a fellow lurker.

CD2 here, Schrodinger's AF has rocked up after several days of her being both here and not here. Proper twitchy at the pool! Over 8w since the MC, a record for me - though it was a later MC than others so maybe that's partly why. At least she didn't turn up and crash DS' birthday. Probably would have booked her a hysterectomy if she did. Overreacting?

6w is standard wtf territory, Kwick. It varies but a couple of weeks after a negative test would seem a reasonable average. Who knows...

Congrats, Mimi :)

kwick · 02/06/2016 21:14

zyla my heart goes out to Flowers I lost my baby at 8 weeks too. Count on my support during this horrid time.

angel glad to hear you had nice hols Smile

namechange well done on making it through your first day!

Still no sign of AF- I have booked a GP appointment and the earliest I could get was 13 June!!!!! I think I will still go even if AF comes b4 then (Lord graciously hear me) and see if UCLH sent any information on tests they ran with MC.

Is anyone else frozen? I have given in and put the heating on!

coribeth · 02/06/2016 23:39

It's boiling here having trouble sleeping or maybe my anger is just keeping me hot and awake Hmm dp turned up completely pissed at 8pm having told me he was working late am less than impressed to put it mildly! Angry

catscatsandmorecats · 03/06/2016 10:57

Zyla big hugs, it is horrible Flowers

name Yay! I am glad the first day went well for you.

Chat not overreacting at all. What a nightmare with the here/not here and having to be in the pool. Sending love.

I think I'd like to be where Cori is or where Angel has just been on holiday - I am freezing!

After being pretty level since the procedure following the mmc, since proper AF has been here I have become a hormonal monster. Really emotional, short fuse, getting really frustrated and am making silly mistakes at work because everything is angering me so much. I think I need a few days off but no chance at the moment, we are snowed. I am keeping my PMA towards this new cycle and trying again but I am struggling, especially at work, everything is totally getting on top of me, even the washing. ARG!

kwick · 03/06/2016 18:21

cats sorry that you are on hormonal rollercoaster (I guess I have that to look forward to). I know you are a noble and hardworking lovely lady but maybe you should take a few days off? Anyway if you need to offload I am always here.

angelazul · 04/06/2016 08:25

Cats sorry your having a rotten time, hope you're taking care of yourself Flowers

coribeth · 04/06/2016 23:49

Well I'm feeling rather good today viroids achieved my club 10 and 1.5 stone award at sw lost 4lb and got slimmer of the week hat trick ! Now if I could just cool off and sleep it would be great still roasting here Kwick hope it's warmed up by you am literally having to lie under the fan!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

coribeth · 04/06/2016 23:51

just haven't heard from you very much of late hope all is well?

Ain626 · 05/06/2016 02:46

mimi loving the lines. Grin

zyla Flowers and Cake for you my lovely. How are you feeling today? X

Congrats on the job name

I've been wondering about just too cori I hope she's okay..

angelazul · 05/06/2016 09:40

Well done Cori that's amazing Star

So I'm on CD21 & literally swimming in ewcm Hmm I'm thinking now that I'm prob icing a lot later this cycle than usual. But we haven't shagged since our hols Sad So we'll need to shag tonight & hope it's not too late

ZylaB · 05/06/2016 16:56

Pretty shitty today still.

Ain626 · 05/06/2016 17:15

Sad here for hand holding and unmumsnetty hugs if you need them zyla

justtheonethen · 05/06/2016 18:46

Hi viroids. I'm sorry I've been absent, I've been taking a break from ttc for my mental health and I'm going away on Tuesday for two month and I've been crazy busy with my sister's wedding yesterday.

Apart from being an emotional wreck for various reasons I'm fine. I'll check in on you all whilst I'm away and hoping for some baby making action when dp joins me in the middle of my trip.

Sorry to see your bad news zyla

mimi lovely news, you must be pleased.

Hope everyone is well, have been thinking about you all

justtheonethen · 05/06/2016 18:47

cori awesome sw action! Star

NameChange30 · 05/06/2016 20:45

just Good to hear from you and sorry you've been having a difficult time. Hope you enjoyed your sister's wedding and have a brilliant trip! Where are you going?

Ain626 · 05/06/2016 22:45

just it's great to hear from you! I think I remember you saying about the trip before, really exciting. Can't believe it's come around so quickly!

I'm as spotty as a hormonal teenager. Not used to this at all. Also sunburnt so my face is a mess. Sad
DH is annoying me a little tonight too. But I think I'm also in a bit of a hormonal grump. I'm not a happy bunny this evening.
