Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

I take it back, he just came in offering to go to the supermarket so we would know either way. Being as I'm pretty convinced its a waste of a tenner I said no, but bless him anyway.
Right, no more talk about my stupid predicament. Who's in the 2ww??

DH didn't read the text until he got home so no digi. He offered to go and get one now but I said it didn't really matter, his response was OK. Didn't ask how I was or anything. Men are arseholes sometimes

Oh Merkin this is all so rubbish.
As you say 12 DPO should give a line. Interesting what Alex had to say about the digi.

I'm going mental like barking! So confused, 12dpo should give me a visible line, yet i've been having faint lines for 5 days in a row but starting to doubt that if i am/was pregnant that my levels are doubling like they should. My temps are still up but suspect AF will arrive in force tomorrow. Am going to take the digi (should it arrive, not sure I trust DH's shopping ability) as gospel and stop trying to figure it one way or another. But for now it looks like the grads are safe from me and you guys have to put up with me for years a bit longer! Sorry. TTC is crapola, a total head fuck. Surely it should be easier than this... in all the millions of years of evolution and this is all we can come up with?? FFS. Rant over, off for a bath

It's just as my line was so faint on the line stick and the clear blue came up as pregnant so just wondered if they're easier to read? Glad there's a faint line coming!

10 mins, nothing on the normal stick. A faint (and definitely pink) line on the double dye but it's so pale i can't see it sticking. Have texted DH to grab a digi so i can know either way, and if it says not pregnant i shall treat myself to a beer

5 minute update.... (normally don't get anything til 8 or 9 mins btw) potentially a faint line on the double dye, nothing on the normal stick.
Alex decided there was no point buying a digi until after AF was overdue and/or I was getting decent lines consistently

Have you tried clear blue yet merkin where is says either pregnant or not in words? What's happened to the mysterious disappearing pee pot?! Any lines yet?

CatsCantFlyFast · 18/03/2013 19:29

...my pee pot is still mysteriously missing and had to use a stand in paper cup. Sticks now developing but neither has an immediate line (although accept this is not fmu and i have drunk loads today)!

My cat was sick on my CREAM carpet this morning, little monkey! I didn't clean it up until I'd POAS though, couldnt wait Wink Made me late for work though!

Sorry, slight delay, bastard cat has peed on my bed Shock Angry (only let bastard cat back in there today after last time as I thought it would be nice for them as cats were home alone all day). This time it is on the mattress so I am busy scrubbing mattress with a combination of baking soda, biological washing powder and vodka. I want wine but can't obv! Give me 30 mins while i clean up and kill the cat and i will be back with an update
Ps will not really harm the cat but he is not getting cuddles tonight!

How did you get on merkin?!

Pipbin · 18/03/2013 18:31

Cross post Merk, sorry.

Pipbin · 18/03/2013 18:30

I was expecting a poas update from Merkin too.
Come on, if I was you I would have definitely poas this morning.

Commiserations for AF arriving ladies, have some Wine. I'm sitting on a freezing platform waiting for the train home, very impatient as desperate to pimp. 12dpo so should be a good line by now surely, feeling slightly hopeful as temp stayed up today rather than normal pre AF drop. Anyway will update as soon as I'm back in about half an hour.
sidney hope you and OH are doing ok
I snorted at baby Jesus!

Bunnygirlie · 18/03/2013 18:24

Sorry to here the witch got you barking and happy

Isn't it odd without an update all day from professor merkin Wink, where are you lady?!?

Frogcatcher · 18/03/2013 18:02

Commiserations barking & tally. Chocolate now during AF & start the healthy living after?!

sidney Jesus perfectly acceptable if you were in Spain & pronounce it with an h - 'hay-soos' Grin. I'm not overly keen but will obvs take a xmas pg over none & like merkin said at least it gives you a good reason to stay at home & not have to visit the in laws!

Probably unlikely for me anyway as the sperm being used now was produced in Dec so likely to be booze addled & poor quality Wink

twinklestar2 · 18/03/2013 17:54

Sorry about the BFNS girls :(

barkingtreefrog · 18/03/2013 17:37

Same here happy, all the above - although I'm a preseed fan! Cycle 16 here we come!!

happylass · 18/03/2013 17:01

Exactly the same here Barking!! AF showed up at around 11am. Must admit I had a little cry, daft really as I've had 2 BFNs and knew she was on her way! Decided to go all out for cycle 8: OPKs, BBT, Conceive Plus, Robitussin, Merkins pillow under the bum method ,healthy living and of course DTD every 2-3 days. Next cycle I will get my BFP!!

barkingtreefrog · 18/03/2013 16:56

Well, temp dip and cramps for me this morning followed by the evil witch at lunchtime. Yet part of me the really stupid part still thinks there's a chance I could be pg! Ha ha! delusional fool

Not crying about it though, moving on and bracing myself for the next shag week to come and then the fertility appointment.

Hurrah for not being stuck in the am I / aren't I gap for another 3 weeks at least. I hate it there!
