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.

Congratulations Jamjar!

Harriet unlike everyone else I didn't really enjoy wedding dress shopping! I'm not a very girly girl and know little about dresses in general. All I knew was I needed a wedding dress and the first shop I went to absolutely bamboozled me with it all! Luckily the second shop I went to were lovely and relaxed and took everything at my pace. They suggested trying on several of each style, even the ones you look at on the hanger and think it's not for you! It really helped and I ended up with a lovely dress. Good luck with finding yours! Smile

KatOnATinRo0f · 17/03/2016 10:55

Congrats !!!! Three BFPs!! Woowzers!! So amazing, so happy for you guys!

(I'm feeling positively chilled this month. I haven't peed on a single OPK. I don't know what CD I am on and I haven't looked on Ovia or logged anything. I think I must be in ISW at some point but no idea when I will ovulate. I don't mind if I get a BFP now or in 3 or 6 months. It will happen. (In fact I've started to think about doing all the stuff I put on hold for the last 7 months as I was going to be pregnant.) bloody typical if I am preg this time around haha!! Just think! I was thinking id be 7 months by now!) feeling relaxed :) hope everyone can try it!)

Flash that is wierd - maybe a good sign?!

Congrats Jamjar I am so so happy for you - another old timey moving on to the grads thread Grin Good to see that you managed to have a lot of fun for the last cycle - it does make you wonder whether there is some truth when those wildly irritating people say 'relax and it will happen'!! Also makes me wonder if those people who get upduffed just by 'accidentally missing the pill one time' or whatever maybe are telling the truth....who knows?! Anyway, very exciting.

I'm done with all the tracking too to be honest, I've got enough on my plate right now so we are effectively on a TTC break but I will probably keep checking in here to see what happens - its like a soap opera Wink and cheering on all the BFPs as they happen. My fingers are crossed for kwick next - whats happening pal?! x

Flashinthepan · 17/03/2016 09:15

Morning ladies! Congratulations Cailler and Jamjar. Very exciting! Based on my, frankly quite inexact, cycle tracking I am on CD 11 and due to ovulate in 2 days. Been DTD every day for the last few days but can't imagine being lucky enough to happen in the first cycle. Also, I had a weird dream last night that I'd had a baby and gone back to work but kept forgetting I had a baby and shouldn't be at work so was forgetting to feed it and change it and then found it gurgling away happily in a cloakroom in a duffel bag! I don't even want to know what that says about my future parenting skills!

SuchaJem · 17/03/2016 08:49

Well done on your 10k harriet, what an amazing achievement after an incredibly hard experience. Enjoy wedding dress shopping, that was one of my favourite bits too.

So 7dpo today and nothing. Nada. No boobs, no cramps, no nausea. I'm tired but I'm full of cold and had a long haul flight last weekend - so no surprise there.

I really wanted it to happen this month - the thought of a November baby was a lovely one. I know there's still a chance but I'm not getting any clues to go on.

Where's starky? I'm waiting for a blog update!

Evergreen15 · 17/03/2016 08:23

Harriet not Harrier. Blush

LisaTheGreek · 17/03/2016 08:03

Congrats Cailler and JamJar! Wonderful news, so so pleased for you both! Thanks

Evergreen15 · 17/03/2016 06:54

Harrier well done on the 10k and what a great attitude Smile I could do with some if that myself Smile. What you describe sounds awful, sorry you had to go through that Sad

Jamjar12 · 17/03/2016 06:46

Thanks guys :)

I loved wedding dress shopping. I literally tried on like 100 dresses. I loved Maggie Sottero (mine was the Glenda one of hers) and Stella York. What type of dress are you looking for? Although I tried on a lot, I ended up getting pretty much the exact type of dress I'd always thought I would- A line with a longish train, lace and some sort of V neck or higher neckline.

Cailler · 17/03/2016 05:29

Wahey Jam that's awesome news!! 🎉🎉

So pleased that you're feeling better and more positive Harriet and congrats on your 10km. Wedding dress shopping is the best bit, enjoy. I was super fussy as I wanted something like Kate Moss's and went to 7 different places before I found mine.

harrietm87 · 16/03/2016 23:09

Hi everyone! Just checking in cos it's been a while, and really glad I did - congratulations jam!!!! great news and hope all goes well. I think the sensitive nipples are def a good sign.

So my chemical pregnancy/early miscarriage/whatever it was was pretty awful. Loads of blood for 6 days. But then I ran a 10k in a really good time on the 7th day and I feel good now! Engrossed in wedding planning and taking a break from ttc for now. I'm really struggling to find a wedding dress I like so if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Jamjar12 · 16/03/2016 22:09

DH has just pointed out I'm cycle 4 lol. It's just because it felt that long!

Thanks everyone :) This thread is literally a life saver. It's crazy that I can't tell people for ages yet so I'm just going to be obsessed with you guys now! I've got my fingers very tightly crossed for you!!!

Confusedcat1 · 16/03/2016 21:55

Congrats jamjar not an empty jar anymore!!

vixarooni · 16/03/2016 21:29

Yay congratulations jam that is amaaaazing! Wait for me in the grads and we can compare bumps in broadstairs with the other kentish folk!!!

Evergreen15 · 16/03/2016 21:15

Jam I had lots of beers when on my hols Grin maybe this is my lucky cycle Smile

Jamjar12 · 16/03/2016 21:13

Haha, yeah definitely. Now I'm glad I had cocktails as it will be a long time hopefully til I can have them again. Used an IC and the line is so faint, definitely recommend the Superdrug tests.

SuchaJem · 16/03/2016 21:03

I am going to stop beating myself up about the odd glass of wine!

Bless your DH ditching his chicken :)

Jamjar12 · 16/03/2016 20:47

Haha, yes it was a big gesture! I now feel bad for eating it though. Healthy diet kick start starts now!

If anyone wants to know...
Cycle 1-2 Ovia and FF, checking CM, DTD every 2 days, no alcohol, a fertility friendly lube
Cycle 3-4 same as before but both took Wellman and Pregnacare tablets every day and used Preseed
Cycle 5- no Ovia or FF, no CM checking, DTD whenever, both drinking a lot of booze, taking tablets and using preseed. Just generally being much more casual seems to have worked maybe?

Evergreen15 · 16/03/2016 20:46

Snow I dont know that beach but the bits of that part of the world that I have seen are gorgeous

Evergreen15 · 16/03/2016 20:45

Yay jam 🎉💐🎉🎉🎉🎉💐 I'm cycle 5 now and a somewhat oldie too so you've boosted my morale! Congrats!!!!!

Jamjar12 · 16/03/2016 20:22

Yes, I literally waited for an advert break, ran upstairs and did it without thinking too much about it. Then stood there hyperventilating as it came up straight away. Composed myself, casually walked into the lounge and DH was just sitting there with a bit of KFC in his hand looking at me weird (like I said, I probably looked mental) and I held up the stick. He said 'What?....... Oh!!' Then threw his chicken in the bucket and hugged me. Got all excited with me looking at a possible due date and checking it, then told me off for being too excitable.

So romantic lol.
