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 <strong>Kitten</strong> = 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.

Fanks viroids Grin

Welcome lucy!!! GXLS!!!!

1horatio · 30/12/2016 13:57

kwick

Congrats!!! Yayyy!
Lucy

Hey Lucy :)

I don't know why, but for some reason I'm really anxious about getting pregnant the 2nd time. My first pregnancy was kind of 'easy' (compared to others) and there were no conception issues. It's like I'm expecting something to happen the 2nd time. I think we're alla bit wird sometimes...

1horatio · 30/12/2016 13:58

*all a bit weird

SofiePendragon · 30/12/2016 18:59

Yay kwick congratulations! Gx for a sticky one!

Welcome Lucy!

justtheonethen · 30/12/2016 20:42

Hi lucy, just start shagging, for the vast majority it's no more complicated than that. GX your stay here is short and productive!

How are you feeling kwick? Over the moon I bet! I'm so psyched for you Smile

kwick · 30/12/2016 20:51

Fanks just... I am actually freaking out round about now... not sure I can handle another MC... I know where is my PMA right?

justtheonethen · 30/12/2016 21:12

Every pregnancy is a new pregnancy. Repeat after me "today I am pregnant".
GX it is a lovely sticky bean. You deserve it. Have you told your mum/anyone else?

justtheonethen · 30/12/2016 21:28

So I'm looking at IVF options and I can have 2 private cycles and still have the NHS one so I'm exploring options in case the NHS one takes ages.

Without remortgaging the house we couldn't pay for private, that's not a problem in itself but I know I'll be bitter about the added debt if it doesn't work. Haven't really got time to save as success rates are higher for 35 and under so need to crack on. So, been looking at egg sharing which means IVF is free/much cheaper.

Am I mad? I think I would be fine with it as it's helping someone else but am I just being naive/gung ho as I am desperate? I think the potential benefits outweigh the potential negatives like them getting pregnant and me not.

Any thoughts wise viroids? Sorry it's not really in the spirit of the thread, if it helps I'll continue shagging like a goodun despite the pointlessness of it all Grin

kwick · 30/12/2016 21:35

just have you thought about going abroad? Some very good clinics in Spain and Greece - may make your money stretch further?
You should probably do implications counselling about the egg sharing - I fortunately did not have this dilemma - as I barely have enough for me!! I do not think you are being blasé - it is a lovely thing to do if you can share.
Have you thought at all about doing IUI?

justtheonethen · 30/12/2016 21:54

It's really difficult to do it abroad as I'm a teacher so limited in when I could do that. IUI has very poor success rates for those in the unexplained category so that's not an option I don't think. I would definitely do counselling but I think I would be ok with it, after all I know what it feels like to want a baby and helping someone who wouldn't be able to have one without a donation seems a good thing.

jellypi3 · 31/12/2016 11:14

Congrats kwick :) Gx for a sticky bean! Today you are pregnant!

Welcome lucy to the madhouse!

Just i know nothing about egg sharing but if it enables you to get free/cheap cycles then i can't see it being a bad thing?

kwick · 31/12/2016 12:51

just I understand the logistics thing. Are you looking at any UK clinics? I am wuth CRGH - which my cousin (who did IVF) recommended - they are dear but have a good success record.

Yep today I am pregnant! I may have done another 2 tests this morning
THANK YOU VIROIDS - you are right I need to rejoice in the moment!
These William Blake words come to mind:
He who bends to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise

blackcherries · 31/12/2016 13:35

Just popping in to say congrats to Kwick!
I will be starting on my IVF journey soon so will probably venture onto more relevant threads...

kwick · 31/12/2016 13:52

Thank you black!!
Best of luck with IVF - let me know if you have any questions Grin

ChatEnOeuf · 31/12/2016 16:24

Egg sharing is a lovely thing to consider, Just. My friend has a little girl thanks to donor egg IVF.

justtheonethen · 31/12/2016 16:40

That's my thought chat, if it helps someone else how can it be bad.
Got my letter from the IVF clinic today so need to call and make first app when they open Smile

angelazul · 31/12/2016 16:55

Yay just the ball's well & truly rolling now. I agree, I think egg donation is a beautiful gift to give, & if it helps in funding your treatment all the better Star

Welcome Lucy

Happy new year vidroids, 2017 is going to be our year!!!

kwick · 31/12/2016 17:33

That is GREAT news just!!!

Lovely viroids: thank you all do much for you amazing support and PMA during 2016 - I am so grateful!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!!

SofiePendragon · 31/12/2016 18:38

Yay Just! Hope everything gets moving really quickly for you.

I don't think I could donate my eggs to be honest, but if you're sure you'd be OK with all the potential outcomes I think it's an incredibly generous thing to do.

cookielove · 31/12/2016 18:39

Great news just fx you will be well on your way to getting a baby :)

One more month then ttc I may be getting excited now :)

kwick congrats again, tbh with Ds I tested shed loads, I loved seeing the little line come up Blush

Good luck black 👍

Through no effort of my own doing my cycle seems to be lengthening :)

ZylaB · 01/01/2017 17:36

Ypositive cheapie opk this morning and again just now, so I insisted we utilise DD's nap time at lunch and will be insisting on another shag tonight! Fertility clinic appt is Tuesday so fx we go to initial appointment and then I get a positive pregnancy test a week or so later, because I'm sure to invoke the law of sod after starting to pay? :)

kwick · 01/01/2017 18:32

Perfect logic zyla Wink

SofiePendragon · 01/01/2017 20:36

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2017 brings us all bfps!
