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.

Ah Kwick, I'm sorry it is so tough at the moment. Your job sounds super stressful though so a change might be good?

I hate the stupid witch. Not particularly from a ttc (yet), but it is just such a fecking inconvenience!!

jellypi3 · 13/03/2017 14:51

unmumsnetty hugs kwick

yay la over the moon for you!!!

the time to shag is approaching.

ZylaB · 13/03/2017 18:21

Back in the limbo of waiting to see if ovulation strips work. I find the whole ttc thing so stressful :(
I've basically been either ttc, pregnant, breastfeeding, ttc, pregnant, had mc, ttc, pregnant, had mc, ttc since Nov 2013. I so feel like I need a break and to actually relax, but we don't have time :(. We've said we will ttc for 3 cycles and then rethink..

ZylaB · 13/03/2017 18:22

Moan, whine, moan whine. Feel free to ignore! 😄

kwick · 13/03/2017 18:50

No zyla let me add:

My dear viroids, I have managed to rupture my calf muscle on my left leg and am:
A) in agony
B) having to use crutches
C) without internet
D) fricking pissed off

Singingforsanity · 13/03/2017 22:39

Zyla that is one hard fucking shift you've been pulling! I didn't bf for long (☹️) so at least having a break has been the silver lining to that.

Kwick wtf? Moan away, that sounds shit! Hope you're treating yourself well (hot chocolate prescribed) and it gets better soon. Have you got decent painkillers?

I'll add to the moanfest with my DF being an asshole, cancelling tomorrow's plans on Saturday then texting me tonight saying he can come now and being pissed off because I didn't keep the day free just in case. Bugger that.

Singingforsanity · 13/03/2017 22:41

Oh and Jelly I think I'm about to ovulate soon too, will pounce on DH tonight and start OV tests tomorrow.

kwick · 14/03/2017 06:19

singing hope your DTD worked out Grin
I am just on paracetamol - still painful this morning and I am still shattered Sad

ZylaB · 14/03/2017 16:37

Oh no kwick feel better soon! How did you manage that?

Flashinthepan · 14/03/2017 16:55

Viroids I need a hooya! 6 dpo and am obsessing over my achey burny nips and emergence of CM! Fortunately I am away for work in morocco so cannot test.

NovaArt3mis · 14/03/2017 18:42

Ouch kwick any better this evening?

I've deactivated all my social media accts for a few weeks and downloaded a meditation app. It's only day two but I've a feeling this'll be good for me.

SofiePendragon · 14/03/2017 19:26

Cd1 again here. Clearly my "pregnancy rhinitis" was just a cold after all Sad I'm increasingly feeling like this isn't going to happen for us

Hooya flash my two weeks of obsessing led nowhere!

Ow kwick how did that happen?

Nova that sounds like a good idea. I'm finding Facebook baby bombs pretty difficult right now

Good luck to icing viroids!

kwick · 14/03/2017 20:35

Hooyah flash Wink

nova you are living the dream - I need to follow suit! (but MN does not count right?)

sofie Flowers it will happen for you

So leg loads better - hobbled and bused it to GP - no travel for a week and then take it from there.
Must say though that arms/pits/upper boobage in agony from lugging my great weight around on crutches. Am braving the office tomorrow by cab - having no internet and off laptop is killing me (add back and neck pain to the list).
Feeling virtuous as gave just made (or at least started process) if making Kefir (fermented milk) for second time. I find it really helps me - less uncomfortable digestion and making it at home is well easy.

Singingforsanity · 14/03/2017 20:45

Hooya Flash! I find it helpful to mark dates in my diary (in case you're not doing it already) so I know how many DPO I am and don't spend ages counting days and obsessing over whether it's too early to test or not.

Sorry Sofie ☹️ It really sucks, but keep that head held high and try to forget about it until FW.

I ended up not pouncing last night and in my deep morning bleariness peed before remembering to OV test. #shitatthis No physical signs of ov yet though so not the end of the world. Tonight's the night though!

cookielove · 15/03/2017 08:17

Oh no kwick that sounds painful 🤕 you need to rest up and relax. Erm fermented milk?

Oh sofie sorry to hear that! Af is a pita!

flash 6dpo is waaaaaaay to early to test glad you can test to avoid disappointment. I may have tested early with E but that was at 10dpo

So basically I told dh that I want to dtd when we are fertile this month and take a gamble as he keeps putting it off and not fertile yet but pretty sure I am gonna get my way! Blush

Flashinthepan · 15/03/2017 10:42

Thanks for the Hooyas. I guess when I Ice based on when ewcm stops. But cycles have been irregular in all ways since ectopic last year so I have no way of really knowing when I'm late or not! But will definitely not test until at least next Wednesday!

On the plus side have had 10 days of spotting every cycle since last may but took b50 end of last cycle and this cycle have had nothing! So at least sex life can continue during TWOT!

Flashinthepan · 15/03/2017 10:42

Also nipple soreness gone to be replaced by general boob soreness!

NovaArt3mis · 15/03/2017 15:05

Sorry the witch got you sofie

Nah kwick MN doesn't count but I don't spend a lot of time on here really. I've read so much more (books/news/essays etc) since Monday alone. And not had to look at any #16weekspregnant hashtags and wanted to throw my phone across the room because I should be there too. So, all good!

I had the slightest pink when wiping today so hopefully AF is en route and can officially begin month 25 of ttc Angry

We patiently await you testing next week flash Anyone else due to poas?

kwick · 15/03/2017 17:27

cookie fermented milk, Kefir, has loads of good bacteria and is very good for you and as all you need to do is stir starter powder into milk and leave you do not need to be Gordon Ramsay to achieve success Grin

Singingforsanity · 15/03/2017 20:14

I am a total idiot! Dtd last night (being interrupted by DS wasn't very romantic but dtd in the end) and ov tested this morning with a CB dual hormone stick. Thought 'oh shit, ov'ing today (early) and we've only dtd once this week'! Been cursing myself all day and only just realised that I got the symbols mixed up and that a non-flashy circle means not ov'ing at all - I forgot it's a non-flashy smiley face that means get shagging. What an idiot, but glad we've not missed the window. So I've decided we're going to get SotM!

On a different note, (sorry if tmi here, but this is ttc) does anyone use a moon cup after dtd? I know the old bum on a pillow afterwards isn't supposed to help, but I do it anyway just in case, and while sat there last night I thought my moon cup would be so much better an option - less mess!

I think kefir sounds great btw but then I love kim chi (fermented cabbage) and stinky cheese, so...

kwick · 16/03/2017 11:29

Not progressed to kimchi yet singing... but I LOVE stinky 🧀

Flashinthepan · 16/03/2017 11:50

Thanks Nova. This cycle every day of LP with no spotting is a victory so even if no bfp I'm clinging on to that!

Flashinthepan · 16/03/2017 11:52

singing I think there is a special device for holding sperm close to the cervix to aid conception, which is basically a stupidly expensive version of a mooncup so id say definitely worth a go.

NovaArt3mis · 16/03/2017 15:12

The witch has arrived. CD1 again. Midwife said the first one would likely be a lot suckier than usual for a variety of reasons. Luckily I'm not back to work til Monday!

cookielove · 16/03/2017 15:48

singing I am completely up for doing whatever you want to make you feel like you are doing something else e.g legs in the air, moon cup in your foof! Hey I have been there and done that! Buuut ds was conceived with me on top and Dh claiming he didn't actually come and the precum got me 😂😂 and i jumped off pretty quick to eh hem clean myself! Make of that what you will!

Hmm fermented milk sounds grim Envy
