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.

Did a frer because I have no patience whatsoever

I'm not quite believing it after almost two years of bfns. Although I'm technically a kitten to you JSers! Shock

DH is in the bath, completely ill with norovirus. Would I be terrible to wait until he's feeling better to tell him? Would quite like a hug and a kiss when I tell him, not a viral stomach bug!

Lights twinkle, it's icy cold outside, 'tis the season of Yuletide, come and join us - yes you! For this is JS62!
ChatEnOeuf · 19/12/2016 16:13

Congrats Nova! Impressed you needed no encouragement whatsoever to go PAOFRER Grin

corgi88 · 19/12/2016 16:53

Oh Nova how exciting!!!! Well done on getting your frer Grin and yes wait til your Dh is 48 hours clear haha! Though the good news might cheer him up a bit?
Hello chat! How are you? Will shamefacedly come to grads after Thursday's scan if all is well suppresses shriek of anxiety
Oooh I feel all Christmassy. More fake mulled wine later!

kwick · 19/12/2016 17:22

cookie I ordered the Duck donbori (I think!)

nova this is amazeballs news!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! StarStarStar
I get not wanting to get norivirus - sending you patient thoughts!

jellypi3 · 19/12/2016 17:23

Congrats nova.

NovaArt3mis · 19/12/2016 17:36

I suddenly feel very nauseous and can't tell if its norovirus or nerves hah!

What are everyone's plans for Christmas then?

SofiePendragon · 19/12/2016 17:40

Woo hoo! Congratulations Nova!

Is it bad that I'm now going to be hoping for smelly wee? Xmas Blush

justtheonethen · 19/12/2016 18:29

Hurrah nova!!

coribeth · 19/12/2016 19:40

Congrats nova! Grin
Af is due tomorrow so I'm still quietly optimistic! (may needed picking up and dusting off tomorrow!)

TriJo · 19/12/2016 20:53

Congratulations nova

/waves pompoms

Christmas... heading back to Ireland with DH and DS, 6 hour drive from north London to a travelodge in north Wales on Wednesday for the short drive to Holyhead and a 3 hour ferry to Dublin on Thursday.

Hobbit19 · 19/12/2016 21:35

Eep, Nova, that's amazing!

Sofie/Cookie, I luffs a bit of couch to 5k! I started it in April and haven't looked back. I power walked/ran up and down Snowdon this weekend, running fitness improves so quickly! I can't crouch down/walk downstairs/put my shoes on as a result I will cheerlead you all the way! Is there a parkrun near you?

Corgi, gulp! Gx for Thurs, looking forward to seeing the scan pics!

ScottishLady7 · 19/12/2016 23:06

nova congratulations!!! How exciting Xmas Grin

cori will you test tomorrow? Gx Gx Gx

corgi Gx for Thursday - keeping everything crossed!!!

kwick how are you feeling? Eating plenty pineapple?!

NovaArt3mis · 20/12/2016 05:46

Thanks ladies Blush

Those of you doing c25k should see if there's a ParkRun near you, weekly timed 5ks, nice community feel at mine.

Tri that's a whole lotta travelling but I'm sure it's worth it.

So yeah, totally got the norovirus, came on so quickly last night. Feel horrendous.

angelazul · 20/12/2016 07:50

Congratulations nova fab news, sorry about the norovirus though Flowers

Everything crossed for you cori

Corgi good luck for the scan on Thurs.

I've got my 2nd fc appt today, looking forward to it to find out more about hubby's antisperm antibodies I may be going in with a full list of questions I want to ask but kinda nervous at the same time.

kwick · 20/12/2016 11:35

angel good luck at FC - great to have loads of questions

Get well soon nova

Boobage already ready to explode!

ZylaB · 20/12/2016 12:36

Still here, got last Friday so feel like I'm just waiting for FB appointment at start of Jan.

angelazul · 20/12/2016 14:49

So fc appt went well, we're on the waiting list for icsi, but list is about 10-11 months long. DH's antisperm antibodies is 90%, but consultant was very insistent that it is still possible to conceive naturally. My ovarian reserve is on the lower side of normal, but apparently nothing at all to worry about, just will need a higher dosage of drugs if/when we are going through treatment. Had an internal scan done, consultant could see from lining of my womb & the size of follicule that I'm about to ovulate. So all-in-all feeling a lot more positive about everything Xmas Smile

MrsCummings · 20/12/2016 16:00

Hiya

Can I join you? I promise to bring my potty mouth and self-disparaging humour if you'll have me.

Name:MrsC
Age: 34
TTC: #1 for a couple of months now.
No previous spawn, as until recently I hated the thought (amazing what a ticking clock does), I am clearly going to be one of those unsociable fuckers in the corner of the playground (hopefully)

kwick · 20/12/2016 16:37

angel get shagging!!!! I am glad it went well. Are you able to pay to be seen sooner?

Welcome mrsc!!!

Hobbit19 · 20/12/2016 23:07

Welcome MrsC, you'll fit right in!

Feel better soon Nova

coribeth · 20/12/2016 23:08

Well predictably bfn this morning have face full of zits so assuming af will arrive in due course interestingly (or not!) no second line appeared on the test when left this time?!?!
Ah well next cycle will mark 5th year of ttc bring it on! Shock
Welcome newbs!

kwick gx for boobage ache and strange womble feeling being a good omen! Grin

angelazul · 21/12/2016 07:57

Sorry cori Flowers Maybe chemical pg???

Welcome mrsc I was a bit like you, no interest in kids at all & then that blooming biological clock started ticking.

Kwick going private isn't in our plan atm. Tbh, the wait will hopefully give me a chance to get my head around it all a bit more. Though that could all change of course ....

MrsCummings · 21/12/2016 09:02

honestly Angela up until six months ago I swear I would rather have dippe my tits in acid than spend an afternoon in the company of anyone's spawn.... then boom! MUST HAVE ONE IMMEDIATELY

Should I manage upduffness, my boss will probably have some form of attack from shock, pretty sure he hired me because I was the solid bet not to need maternity leave Wink

NovaArt3mis · 21/12/2016 09:50

I am slowly emerging from the bathroom, should be back to normal by tomorrow I think/hope.

Hi MrsC

Sorry to hear that cori Flowers

Great that you're on the waiting list angel, shame it's that long but it'll either come round sooner than you think or you'll get upduffed in the meantime fx!

cookielove · 21/12/2016 16:16

Hello all!

cori you are not out until af rears her ugly head! 5 years Shock

Mmmm duck dombori was it yummy kwick

Congratulations nova 😺
