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.

OH would not join me. Would make TTC tricky...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/03/2016 22:26

moose get as much vitamin c as you can! Hope you're feeling better soon!

hep wow! That's one heck of a change! Are you thinking about doing it? It'd certainly be a change!

canters give it a couple of days (5 of them) and then re-test. You're too early to test!

Awww you guys! I'm really pleased you're all enjoying it! I was worried it wasn't going to be funny! 😀😁☺

Woah hep that'd be quite a change! Are you considering it?

ElleSarcasmo · 10/03/2016 21:55

Skip so pleased your cat came home! Do you mind me asking why you wouldn't consider IVF?

Kat hope you can sneak in some action!

Ah nights suck Pug! Hope you have good snackage and that you sleep ok post shift. Got my fx for you!

Nice to see you Miley, hope the sun and some rest sorts you out next week Flowers

Ooh love your blog Starky! I cried laughing at the stonewashed dungarees!!

Love the OPK collection Jem, that's dedication!

Snow sounds amazing! That house!

ElleSarcasmo · 10/03/2016 21:34

So pleased with all the fellow Poldark/Adrian Turner fans!

LovelyFishy that was a really lovely post about your DH and being in this together. It must be so hard not having your mum Sad. I understand your anxiety, but she might have struggled TTC for so many reasons, most of which wouldn't be heritable.

I have been feeling a bit fed up too Ever and Skip, for similar reasons. I don't think this will be our month either-we just haven't dtd enough. Again. Also managed to miss the peak OPK despite doing them every day except Friday last week-if it was Friday then we did dtd Saturday and Sunday at least.

Jam I hope Hugh the gnome is nowhere near your ear!

Haha Starky love the shampoo picture!

Welcome newbies and welcome back Canters!

Moggysinger · 10/03/2016 21:25

Yes starky!!!!! Your blog is bloody brilliant! You're a natural!

pugmummy I forgot you are a mifwife! Thanks for advice re appointments, I rang midwife today (rather than gp again) and they can book me in at 8 weeks and 12 weeks Grin the midwife I spoke to was possibly the nicest woman in the world and I want to bagsey her as my midwife now!! She explained everything and put me right at ease Smile

iPatches · 10/03/2016 20:52

Hey all. Long day. AF is here with a vengeance and I feel completely drained.

Starky love the blog

Confused I had 3 days of positive OPK last month - still didn't get pregnant though stupid ovaries

Hope you are all well. Can't keep up with this place, how are you all posting so much???? I'm lucky if I get to check in once a day!

Confusedcat1 · 10/03/2016 20:40

HepKestrel · 10/03/2016 20:35

Sorry canters

HepKestrel · 10/03/2016 20:24

Virtually been offered a job- big step up in the same field I work ..... One problem..... Its in south Africa....

Canters15 · 10/03/2016 20:22

I caved and poas today (10 dpo) and it was, predictably, bfn. Smack me on the wrist. Ive also finished the wine in the house, sad times.

I have an irrational urge to move to the US now. Thanks snow! Looks amazing!

HepKestrel · 10/03/2016 20:06

Confused, what day are you on now?

Holly300 · 10/03/2016 19:35

Fab blog starky!! Can't wait to read many more of them :) x

Mooseville · 10/03/2016 19:24

I'm impressed with your dedication jem Got everything crossed for you!

Loving the blog idea starky I'm signing up now! I reckon we've got the unmumsy mum of TTC on our hands here!!

Full of snot and cold here, for the second time in less than a month. I am not impressed, DTD not getting off to an amazing start. However ISW doesn't start till next week so I've time to improve - just lets hope I've not passed it on to DP!

snow sounds like you're going to have a fab life over there! Target sounds bloody amazing!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/03/2016 19:24

jem we go through that too! "Babe, I've lost my keys!" "Have you looked in your pocket darling?" Grin

It is congused it usually happens within a day/couple of days of each other. It's called superfecundation. Not to be confused with hyperovulation which is when you release two eggs at the same time (which can result in fraternal twins). Take some pics?

Awww thanks you guys! Blush Grin

feef I'd never noticed how intense that zebra was before. He takes opks v seriously!

Thanks confused that's exactly I feel. We've given it a good shot. The rest is up to Aggy and Hugh. Not sure about second lh surge, have you tried dr Google?

starky potching sounds so frustrating! Slightly different problem but does anyone find their oh can't find stuff and can't look properly? I'm like "it's in the cupboard babe" and it'll be right in front of his face and he won't see it. LOOK MAN

ni I found after DTD for the 6th time in about 8 days that fandango feels bruised?! and my hips kind of hurt from being in that position. I am battle weary people and I've got three more days 😳

RaeSkywalker · 10/03/2016 19:17

Excellent work Starky

Agreed about how hard it is to make a human! Angry nobody tells you that do they!

Confusedcat1 · 10/03/2016 19:11

Does anyone know if it's possible to ovulate twice in one month? I had a very positive opk on cd13, presumed ov on cd14. Then it started getting lighter. Now it's getting darker again.

Ni4444 · 10/03/2016 18:22

Hi Snow!! So excited and jealous about your new adventure! Ooh dunkin donuts... Or is it Krispy Kremes? Which are the best ones? I can't remember!! Need to book another trip stateside clearly!!

Two more days of hols in France...the walking, the food, and the relaxing has been good for ttc ...but I'm sure the vino isn't ideal...but fck that!! There will be plenty time to be a teetotaller!! Sat on a beach in the sun this afternoon...bliss!!! 😎

Stark popping over to your blog now!

Jem high five!! Good dtd work! 👍 I must remember to keep dtd 3 days after pos opk...I get so bored of it by then!

Mileymoocow · 10/03/2016 18:15

Laughing so hard at the great photo album hunt and Brian harveys love child. Your blog is my new favourite thing! You really do have a way with words

bluebird3 · 10/03/2016 18:11

Oh Target! I miss Target so much. I'm American but have been living in the UK for a few years. Hope you're enjoying it snow. Go to the Cheesecake Factory for me. Smile

HepKestrel · 10/03/2016 17:47

starky I just got the one update.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/03/2016 17:20

Haha thanks guys! And super sorry if anyone just got a million emails telling them I've put another entry up, there was a mild scuffle involving me and my laptop being a cock! I leant on a button and it did opened about 15 pages going "we've updated your followers""we've updated your followers""we've updated your followers""we've updated your followers""we've updated your followers" I was like "nooooo! Laptop! Why?!"
