Hugh enjoys ISW and his love affair with Doreen. He watches out for skittle tits and weepyitis. Mrs Arseholey Fucknut (Af) shows up when you least want her but brings wine and soft cheese as a consolation prize.
We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself you're pregnant in the tww That is paramount! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier
We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts. We want a fanny full of determined Doreen, not unicorn farts and gnome tears with extra sparkle. We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area.
Post your stats and add your dates. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

Hope all is well jen 
alexia I got a shedload of the amazon cheapies, and from like cd 7 onwards did at least one a day. I had a really long cycle (37-45 days wasn't unusual for me) so I wanted to get a prope idea of if I was actually ovulating. As I approached cd 12 onwards I'd do at least 2/3 a day so I could check in lh surge. Honestly, don't test, give it a couple of days, then if nothing test. I always found the more I kept focusing on numbers the more worked up I'd get, and the later you leave it, the easier it gets. I had all my normal af symptoms the month I got bfp.
Thanks Starky. How long did it take you to conceive? I really envy those with shorter cycles! Mine was 34 days for the last few months but it can be anywhere from 33-42 days. I did try the Amazon cheapies this month a couple times a day but I gave up too early. (oops!)
My Fertility Friend BBT chart looks good with my BD timing and I have some really weird symptoms this month! I've been cramping a lot more than normal, I don't have sore boobs which I usually get before AF and the biggest thing has been this unexplained nausea for the last week. My appetite is basically gone and I even threw up in my mouth twice yesterday. If I'm not finally pregnant this month my body is playing some evil tricks on me

Oh my goodness Jem, glad you're ok, that must have been such a shock!! Do you get a follow up doctors appointment?
So I went for my 21 day bloods this morning, hoping to get results by the end of the week. DH gets his test on Friday, no idea how long we have to wait for those results! Plus got told today I'm also getting an internat ultrasound! Anyone have any experience of these or wisdom to share?
In other news, in deference to the Kwick Fertility Diet I had my first avacardo salad tonight and loved it!

Cycle 7? Thought it was 6 but Jem you're my cycle buddy.
Currently waiting for a scan as bleeding between periods.
I handed in my notice today! Don't care about some paltry SMP, going to do different things and not put my life on hold while TTC.
Jem, hope you feel much better soon
I just saw an ad for it and had a moment 
I won't be buying random drugs off the internet. I think ttc is saping my rationality,
Welcome Jenny and Live!
Alice I'll back you up on the ttc steals our rationality! I just started filling out a new job application yesterday, it's so exciting!
Snarky yay for the puppy!! Pets are the best, even if they do sometimes drive you crazy! Will we get cute puppy pictures when he/she arrives?
