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.

Welcome back Gundog! Dust off that cape :)

Tink plenty of people have perfectly normal cycles post MC - especially very early ones/CPs.

I also call milk by its colour. Always have done, which is weird as neither of my parents do...

Tinkfromlovejoy · 24/08/2016 19:49

I call crisps by their colour. And bake.......

CD16 and not even a hint of a hormonal rise ready for icing. So no ovulation since the miscarriage in May. We won't get any help as we have DD.
So I lost my baby and my body is fucked basically.
I hate myself.

kwick · 25/08/2016 09:45

zyla I am sorry you are having a tough time. Your body is not fcuked - you just might need some help. Have you thought about having some tests run? Opks are not always that reliable - they can check your LH levels through bloods.

My follicle has been very well behaved and grew almost 2mm!!! I am carrying on with my milk binge!!!
Not sure my boss will share my joy as I am supposed to be at meetings all next week in Paris...

ZylaB · 25/08/2016 09:48

kwick we won't be allowed tests until at least 6 months after the mc and they may not do them. They certainly wouldn't give any drugs or treat,net because we have DD :(

ZylaB · 25/08/2016 09:48

Good news on the follicle!

Tinkfromlovejoy · 25/08/2016 10:53

Well done follicle!

zyla so sorry you're feeling shit. Keep testing opks, cd 16 isn't that late. Also, there are ways and means that you can get the ball rolling with tests etc. If you approach it from a health angle, rather than a ttc angle. For eg, if you were worried about heavy, painful periods you could get a gynae referral who would do all the standard tests to rule out endo/pcos and you would have your mind put at rest that all was functioning properly. Talk to your gp Flowers

Welcome back gundog good to see your back on the wagon.

Zyla sorry to hear you're having a rubbish time. Hard as I know it is, try not to get too disheartened, stressing about it can just make things worse. As tink says, cd16 isn't that late for icing, esp if this is your first since mc. And if it turns out that you don't ice, there are things that you can do without having to go down the GP/medical route. I wasn't icing for a year after coming off the pill, but I've iced the last 2 cycles, helped by acupuncture, supplements & a change in diet. Take care of yourself Flowers

Kwick yay for the follicule, what a well behaved body you have Smile.

ChatEnOeuf · 25/08/2016 12:03

Congrats on the follicle growth Kwick, great job :)

Zy please don't beat yourself up Sad. I'm shit with OPKs and the like, but once (just once!) I had ovulation bleeding - on CD18. With a 30-day cycle, that's very reasonable. I've presumed that's around when I ovulate, which would explain the late BFPs. I think La iced late as well (certainly had a short LP). If you're sure you're not icing then it's worth seeing your GP - they mightn't go the whole hog, but it's fair to ask for some basic bloods, or a gynae referral if they are reluctant. It's hard to tick the right boxes, though.

CannotEvenDeal · 25/08/2016 13:47

Yes Tink his face was a picture and the test is still firmly on the bathroom shelf... I explained that even if I am pregnant it'd prob give a false negative anyway because it's so bloody early Grin

His ds was conceived under very different circumstances and we love dss to bits but this is like ttc a first child both of us in some ways because he didn't have this kind of 'process' the first time. Don't know if that makes any sense but anyway Hmm

Dh is away at the moment and don't want to test without him around but the waiting is harder than I thought it would be Blush

Did I say that the test was firmly on the shelf...?

CannotEvenDeal · 25/08/2016 13:49

Good work kwick Keep it up Grin

Zyla don't beat yourself up, I did the same after my mc but you truly shouldn't hate yourself Flowers

Littlefingers08 · 25/08/2016 14:31

Hi everyone Smile
I have been a weirdo lurker but jumping in now!

Name - Littlefingers
Age - 30
TTC - not preventing trying at the moment and have been having weird sort of pregnancy symptoms for a few days but trying not to read anything into it (which of course means I'm googling every symptom!)

Also can I just say how much I love the term ghost jizz?!?! Makes me giggle each time I see it and when I was reading through posts at work I found myself doodling ghost jizz on a post it note without realising...... Blush

ZylaB · 25/08/2016 17:39

Sorry, should have clarified. I used to ice on day 21, but I'd get a hormone rise well before that, then a peak as I iced. I haven't ovulated since I got pregnant and that was May.

ZylaB · 25/08/2016 17:40

I think I'll go to the gp after this holiday if nothing has happened.

ZylaB · 25/08/2016 17:45

Gah. My head is a mess. The miscarriage was May. I got pregnant at the end of March/start of April

kwick · 26/08/2016 10:44

zyla having a MC is a headfcuk - but I hope you can keep the faith that you will get there. Thats how I am approaching it.

Just downed a massive smoothie in a desperate attempt to stay really hydrated before my scan this afternoon - it seems that really can have an effect on follicle size.
I did not have enough hands what with luggage and handbag to drink sedately on the plane...

Welcome littlefingers!!! I love the lingo too Grin

GundogFrankie · 26/08/2016 13:01

Zyla sorry you're having a bad time. Could your body still be getting back to normal after mc maybe? I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take but I only say this because I'm still all over the place since mc in June (weirdly back to cd1 again today when I thought AF was over on Wednesday) so please try not to feel too upset with yourself. Hope you get to relax on holiday. xx

Kwick excellent follicle news, good luck with your scan

Hi littlefingers hope your symptoms continue

Littlefingers08 · 26/08/2016 13:22

Thanks Gundog & Kwick Smile** think I may be potentially too hopeful but the trying is fun! Just trying to hold out on testing, not even sure when I should do that to be honest!

Zyla - I'm so sorry about your mc, must be so tough. My twin had an mc last year and it took a while for her body to get back to normal. She & OH went on holiday and said that really helped relax them both a bit.

CannotEvenDeal · 26/08/2016 13:45

little I'm with you on the symptoms lol. I'm definitely not feeling myself and had some very light bleeding earlier which has now stopped...

Tmi- it was very different to af in terms if colour and flow but who knows... sorry if you're having your lunch lol.

kwick · 26/08/2016 14:34

Just had day 13 scan: 2 follicles - 1 13mm (so another growth spurt) and 1 at 10mm!!! Milk binge continues!!!

Littlefingers08 · 26/08/2016 14:58

Well I completely mucked up the bold writing on last post!

Kwick - that is so exciting!! SmileSmileSmile

Cannot - exactly the same and don't worry I don't mind TMI at all! TMI myself - I had 1 day of heavy pink bleeding with pain on left side & then a day of spotting about a week before I was due (due today & nothing) and lots of nausea since then. However I'm not sure if I'm just getting too excited and my body is making it up - going to try to ignore it over the weekend (Ha!). Shall attempt to be a cool person!

Littlefingers08 · 26/08/2016 15:02

Also Kwick - what is a milk binge?

CannotEvenDeal · 26/08/2016 15:23

little dh and I went into it with the whole "Yeah this is fun" attitude but then I started to feel really strange- headaches, greasy hair, spots and huuuuuuge boobs lol. So of course the questions start coming.

I'm excited but also bloody knackered, I'm going for my third nap of the day Shock

Littlefingers08 · 26/08/2016 16:06

Cannot - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! When are you holding out for a test?

Fleurchamp · 26/08/2016 16:18

I am back from le grand sulk Grin

Just catching up.... So carrots and blue milk, anything else?!?

Welcome back gundog hi to cannot and little

Right, I am on CD8. We have decided to be "relaxed" about ttc 😂 (If there is such a thing). So no opks etc.

Had DS's first day at nursery today. He's growing up
