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.

Jem it's not really an update it's a hopelessly outdated list! I'm not sure if some of the people are even here anymore (apart from grads they stay on the list but move up to the next bus station lol)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 22/03/2016 08:27

So sorry you're having a rotten day ever 🍷🍰🌹 be kind to yourself lovely girl.

I used epo this time round. From cd 1 to dh smelling me ovulate! It seemed to make my af shorter well, it was 4/5 days instead of 6/7 and I seemed to have more cm over the course of the cycle.

OP posts:
SuchaJem · 22/03/2016 08:23

Lol at meringue minge!!

Sounds promising lyssie

Sorry for bfn elle, the nausea is a good sign though, fx AF is no show

Sorry about AF ever :( does epo lengthen lh or am I getting mixed up?

I think next cycle I will try epo. No news from me, AF due tomorrow and I think she'll be on time.

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:16

Ni so maybe because I didn't pay close attention or maybe because I am older or probably because my body wants to mess up with my TTC but my cycles are a lot shorter these days. My LT has been 11 days for the last 3 cycles and 10 days for this very last one.
I have read that 10 and 11 is fine and that below 9 a bit harder but lots and lots of success stories (a bit like PCOS, they say is harder but lots of my friends with babies have PCOs) so maybe we shouldn't worry about that.
However, I am up for tryinh something natural, what are you thinking? And this EPO as well??
Gracias Elle Sad it sucks big time

ElleSarcasmo · 22/03/2016 08:11

Fx for you Jem, Confused and Lyssie!

ElleSarcasmo · 22/03/2016 08:11

Lol at meringue minge Feefs!!

Oh Ever, hugs and mucho sympathy to you. That really sucks Sad

CD 29 today (normally 28-29)-felt nauseous all day yesterday so got all hopeful. BFN this morning though Sad

Bah to TTC!!

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 08:05

Oh Ever that sucks! That happened me last cycle too...tested only to realise AF had arrived. What a headfuck!!!

My LH has been 10 days last two cycles-how long is yours? Might try some natural stuff next month to try to lengthen it

O day should be today or tomorrow. Dtd last night and managed to sneak in pre-seed so fingers crossed!

Lyssie crossing my fingers for you!

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:01

Lyssie did you test??
So I am feeling so mad right now(I go from mad to sad)
I finally wake up without a fever and decide to waste another FRER as AF due tomorrow.
I wee in my cup and put the lovely expensive FRER there AngryAngryEnvyAngryAngryEnvy
Then I look down and AF has arrived with a vengeance. SadEnvyAngryAngryEnvyAngry
So I had tears, went mad at OH and then cried some more.
Cycle fucking 5
And starting to think my short LH is a problem
Suck this shit
Don't even excuse my language AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

Lyssie · 22/03/2016 00:10

To all the lovely ladies who helped me with my near invisible line,
I will test with FMU tomorrow or Wednesday, when AF is due. I'm 11 or 12 dpo today.
Today I've had to pee, literally, every hour, and I've had some nasty looking globs of bright yellow CM.

Feefeefs · 21/03/2016 22:57

Hi all holiday was fun! But stuck abroad at the moment because of the French air traffic controllers strike! Bit of a nightmare!

Anyway brought ovulation stick on holiday got "peak" on clear blue digital 17th and some EWCM and "low" then on 19th 20th.

Anyway today ?4-5DPO and LOADS of EWCM? DTD just in case but (sorry tmi) there was so much DH is now calling me "meringue minge"! Google is useless

Kwick709 · 21/03/2016 21:44

Another day, another dollar spot....

Kwick709 · 21/03/2016 21:26

Those of you with magic potion "on tap" should be shagging non-stop please! Wink

HepKestrel · 21/03/2016 21:23

ipatches you still have high fertility 2-3 days after ovulation, so perhaps you can entice doreen for a bit more .....Wink ?

Pugmummy87 · 21/03/2016 21:14

Jem I sympathise with the hoping and then the crushing disappointment. I hope this is your cycle.

lyssie I think I can see a line, very faint, do another frer tomorrow with fmu, hopefully will be be darker line. How many dpo are you now? Fx!

Nothing much to report here in myself. My best friend however appears to be in the early stages of labour! Eeek!

SuchaJem · 21/03/2016 21:09

patch yes exactly :( third time around and it does feel like a cycle now of hope and crushing disappointment.

confused AF is due weds xx

Confusedcat1 · 21/03/2016 21:05

Fingers crossed ipatches now just try keep cool for the next two weeks Grin

jem when are you testing?

And kwick good luck for testing day xxx you deserve it since becoming a human pin cushion! When your kid is a teenager you can keep reminding them about it!

iPatches · 21/03/2016 20:33

Lyssie - I can't see anything but test again tomorrow, I'm excited for you!

Jem - I was like that last cycle. Properly tearful which isn't really like me. AF was late and I was frustrated. She turned up eventually but it felt like forever waiting. And I agree - it feels like a horrid cycle of moping about AF, getting excited about the FW, put all that effort in, wait and symptom spot, realise it's not my month, cry, mope about AF. It's better now that I've decided to drink and eat anything I want, mostly lots of caffeine, during that non-TWW...

My update is that I had a negative OPK this morning and a VERY negative OPK when I got home from work. So I'm guessing I ovulated yesterday. Now we wait.

SuchaJem · 21/03/2016 19:55

Thanks confused that's so sweet of you :) we did put a lot of effort in! Feel a bit tired at the thought of repeating it in a week or so.

starky bless your DH! Looking forward to a blog update. Hope you're settling into your new pregnant state of being :)

Mileymoocow · 21/03/2016 19:38

starky mine is the same. I wasn't allowed to pull a very light suitcase or carry hand luggage. And got wrong for carrying a load of washing upstairs...Oh and keep getting told to be careful and take my time whilst doing ANYTHING Welcome to the invalid club, enjoy it while it lasts.

kwick that's soooo exciting. I have everything crossed for you lovely ❤
