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!

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. We have a register thanks to kats stats I am resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star

When you post stats, add your predicted test/af date. We are currently running at about 49% pregnant with the grads thread over in ante-natal which we all hope to join soon.

I have no idea??? Has literally nobody posted anything at all since yesterday morning?? That doesn't seem right somehow?? I don't understand!

ElleSarcasmo · 25/03/2016 08:31

Hi Kat! How are you doing? Where is everyone? Confused

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/03/2016 20:10

Is this working :(

ElleSarcasmo · 24/03/2016 07:46

Grin Evergreen I know, I keep peering at it! Hope it sticks.

Rosie how are you doing? I guess it's good to have an explanation for the irregular cycles-I know lots of women who have had babies with pcos Flowers

Only one day to test Lyssie, fx! A few people have been wet pre BFP, not me though.

I did get a BFP on IC this morning-3 days late. I think I am probably a low hcg person though? Who knows.

Thinking of you Jem with fx!

Lyssie · 23/03/2016 21:02

Congrats Elle!!! This must be a luck month!!!

Jem lets keep our fingers crossed together! When are you due on? AF is either supposed to start today or tomorrow for me, and I literally feel nothing but a little wet today. I'm weirded out! Not going to test till friday(or even Saturday of my poor heart can wait). Just tired of counting myself out (;

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 20:59

Me too... See you there Grin

Kwick709 · 23/03/2016 20:59

sincerelyRosie you say the nicest things :) I am over on the other thread too!

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 20:56

I can always count on you to make me feel better kwick

Kwick709 · 23/03/2016 20:40

God I hope you are not all on the new thread.... BTW thanks Starky Star

sincerelyrosie I have PCOS and one ovary. I know I have gone full out on IVF (but only because I have no one to have chukka-chukka with) so it IS possible.

Aye, aye Captain kat Grin

Kwick709 · 23/03/2016 20:38

FXskip I saw your lovely message this morning - and wrote a response but then my phone decided it did not like me anymore :( Thank you so much for what you said - I definitely like the day at a time approach. Do Gingernuts count as nourishment? Wink

My boobage was incredibly sore the first week of 2ww and then eased off.

KatOnATinRo0f · 23/03/2016 18:08

Why is everyone talking about starky and qwick leaving?? They know that's not allowed

SincerelyRosie · 23/03/2016 17:24

Congrats on all the BFPs!!

starky & kwick you're both the voices of reason!! Don't leave!!

I had my results from the doctors today & found out I have PCOS. Would explain everything - irregular periods/+opk etc.

Someone throw some success stories at me please!!!! Sad

Evergreen15 · 23/03/2016 13:22

Life *in general Blush

Evergreen15 · 23/03/2016 13:20

Thanks Pug Smile yes, I think I should try to be more optimistic with life on general.
Lara thanks that info helps Smile It helps me to try to realise that it can be 2 years but 95% is a very high rate! Surely I will make it happen in 2 years!
So I guess now I need to look at it that way. It will happen in 2 years Smile And some people, sure, they are lucky but I have never been very lucky and that is ok because 95% is very high so I will just have to wait.

I am not taking my temps anymore though. I think that was adding way too much stress.

BTW I am going to go ahead and believe that those stats apply to the over 35 as well, and I don't want to be corrected if I am wrong Smile

Elle I went back to work but I had to leave again as I started to feel crap again Sad
omg You have a little thing in your belly! Grin

Jem glass half full is the way to be Smile Maybe one day I am like that too Smile

Kat fabulous list as always SmileThanks

Fx you have such way with words Smile
Are you a psychologist or therapist? You seem to know a bit SmileSmileSmile I like that.

Vixarooni I would never say shut up Smile, everyone's opinion should be valued and heard Thanks. And I know being positive is best for general wellbeing and mental health for sure and that has an impact on how you feel physically, unfortunately I don't believe you can mentally block TTC... Otherwise we would need no contraception of ivf, I don't think it is possible to "think yourself pregnant". But we all have different ways to see things here and I like that SmileAnd you are right in perceiving hope is running low here though. Maybe spring will help pick it up.

Miley thanks for sharing that with us, what a lovely piece of advise for those that might be worrying Smile

Starky I really hope you stick around. We need those StarStarStarStarStarStar Wink

ElleSarcasmo · 23/03/2016 12:35

Also-bloated/slightly farty Blush though not too burpy so far!

ElleSarcasmo · 23/03/2016 12:33

Thanks Jam. Nobody appears to have noticed so far. I've got a cold so will blame any erratic behaviour on that! Wink

Starky I don't feel brave enough for grads either! Also, I love you guys! I want to see everyone else get their BFP too! 🍀

My symptoms were:
-nauseous since Monday (cd 28)
-sore nipples I think 1 week after ov
-bruised feeling boobs on and off for past few days
-tired (want to go to bed early, sleepy in the daytime) since sat/sun
-off coffee/couldn't finish a cup since sat.

Miley totally relate to the hummus tears! Hope you're feeling ok.

HepKestrel · 23/03/2016 10:49

yes please stick around! we welcome all newcomers, but we do love how you are getting on (with a slight pang of jealousy Wink)

we have our own language developing here!

Flashinthepan · 23/03/2016 10:35

Jem I sneakily hoped it could be as my boobs have been super sore for the last few days and normally only get that way just before AF but I suspect that my body has decided to mess me around just as I've decided to care what it's up to! I can't help but see anything different as potentially bad, rather than potentially good.

SuchaJem · 23/03/2016 10:18

flash that could have been an implantation bleed! Which would be really promising. Fx

SuchaJem · 23/03/2016 10:17

I don't think I'm speaking for only myself here but PLEASE STICK AROUND STARKY! And all grads!

We have such a lovely supportive group here, I love hearing how you are getting on. Plus you've got so much ttc knowledge I selfishly don't want to lose that from the thread!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 23/03/2016 10:08

I did a new thread! Hope nobody minds! Feeling a bit like I don't belong anywhere at the minute! Still freaked to post too much in the grads but don't want to annoy you guys by hovering here! I can't be helpful because I have zero concentration and don't want y'all to think I'm being patronising or irritating! So I'm sort of silently hovering, like a fraggle on a rock!

Congratulations elle AMAZING NEWS! 💐👑🍼🎂🐙

kwick if I could give anyone who has just had their bfp any advice at all...

Please don't spend your precious first weeks worrying. Enjoy it as much as you can in bliss, enjoying nice food and smiling!! I miss that week I had before ms started (onto my 6th week of HG and have just been called back into hospital for extra check ups after visiting for the 2nd time for fluids). VERY small chance you could end up as bad as I have though.

elle lol. I'm your typical geordie who doesn't cry at anything ever. I stood in asda 2 weeks ago and cried because they didn't have any red pepper and chilli hummus that I wanted. It was my first trip out of the house in 3 weeks and I was excited because I thought I'd be able to eat hummus. The emotion was just too much Blush welcome to bat shit crazy mode no you don't leave it behind in ttc

vixarooni · 23/03/2016 09:37

Congratulations Elle so exciting all these bfps!!!

Ever tell me to shut up, but I can almost feel the block you are putting onto TTC. Im feeling a huge amount of negativity and that you've given up any hope on it. I hope you can persevere through this and be rewarded with a baby :)

Kat is that list when I'm due to test?
