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.

Just weed on an OPK out of blind hope and got nothing. Does that mean I'm defo out?

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 21:29

Just don't think of it as pressure... Just think whoop whoop time for some dtd... And just so happens that it is perfectly timed :p

iPatches · 20/03/2016 21:17

LOL at Confused - you don't muck around!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 21:07

Time to jump dh Ipatches

iPatches · 20/03/2016 21:02

Thanks Lara - they were pretty dark yesterday but were clearly positive even with FMU this morning.

This whole process is too pressured, argh...and breathe...

LaraG13 · 20/03/2016 20:59

Not sure if this helps ipatches but I got positives IC OPKs for 3 and half days (doing two a day) on the month I conceived. According to my scan today I probably ovulated on the second day of those positives. So 24 hours or so after I got the first positive OPK, which is in line with what they say. The first positive you get is the indicator that you'll ovulate in 24-36 hours. You can pretty much ignore the others after that, is how I understand it.

iPatches · 20/03/2016 20:52

Kwick - how long do they stay positive for? DH is baffled by all this and I'm starting to feel the same.

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 20:49

They can stay positive for a while ipatches - can you DTD asap? 😉

iPatches · 20/03/2016 20:44

confused that sounds positive!!!

Speaking of OPKs, I had what I thought was a positive yesterday, then a VERY obvious positive today at 9am - and again now, at almost 9pm?! Are they supposed to stay positive for that long? Have I ovulated? Will I ovulate?!?!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 19:49

kwickif I own them, I wee on them lol so I stopped keeping them in stock!!!

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 19:37

confused this is good news indeed! But shame on you for not having a stockpile of HPTs!!!!!!

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 19:19

jam I forget that too! Started talking to a mate the other day about isw and she looked a bit 😳

confused ooh very promising! Fx...

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 19:12

No such thing as TMI in here! I sometimes forget people don't like hearing such gross info in real life! My IC was pretty pale earlier so I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them (and that wouldn't be far I imagine as they'd just flutter down to the floor). Sleep on it and try tomorrow. I imagine if AF is starting, it'll kick in tomorrow maybe? If it doesn't, get yourself to a shop!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 19:10

Ok, I'll go for the tmi, ...

I thought af had started when I posted, popped a tampon in but only got a bit of brown stuff, then it stopped, so I went back to a panty liner. Then thought I'd do an opk for fun (it's funny what becomes fun when Ttc hahahahah)

Then bam that popped up. So I did an ic but it was snowy white. I don't have any other pregnancy tests in stock so will just wait it out now...

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 19:06

So AF hasn't started properly yet Confused? Have you used a FRER yet? That OPK looks promising to me if you're not meant to be near FW... But then I'm just optimistically wishing pregnancy glitter on everyone ATM.

Haha Kwick, yes I got my BFP on Wednesday :) on the long, long journey to 12 weeks now.^^ I thought a 2 week wait seemed long lol. I've done 4 days of it so far and feel like I've seen a millennia pass :/

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 19:01

Nooo... Its a very nearly positive opk... At 12dpo. Brown spotting stopped tonight....

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 18:57

I'm confused now confused ! have you got a positive on an IC? Getting a positive OPK is good though?

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 18:55

Neg even

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 18:55

Hang on jem that's an opk and I just dipped a ic and it's new!

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 18:53

Waahhhhhh confused!! Hurrah congratulations love!!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 18:49

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 17:37

jamjar but one of those at least is a HPT? And I can see two lines?!!!!!!!!

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 17:18

Fingers crossed for you Snow, it only takes the once! My DH has recently become obsessed with Pokemon on the DS. I've told him it's embarrassing for an almost 30 year old to be getting excited about it but he won't listen!

Just found one lonely OPK in the cupboard so thought I'd test the surge near AF=BFP theory and it's a pretty strong line! I'd definitely recommend people trying OPKs more to test! Weirdly, there's a huge difference between the IC I took this morning and the one I've just taken now... No idea why! First one was much lighter from about 7am and the 5pm one is much darker?! Any ideas why there such a big difference suddenly??

Pugmummy87 · 20/03/2016 17:08

AF has become so light over the last few cycles and barely any cramps. It's good in that I used to suffer terribly with cramps that made me pass out and heavy flow, but now it's the complete opposite.

Ni that's very kind of you, we will join all the grads at some point!

ElleSarcasmo · 20/03/2016 17:06
