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.

Swi = shagging with intent (as opposed to not shagging at all because someone stayed up too late playing f*cking video games the last 3 nights. Idiot.)

5tardusty · 20/03/2016 16:43

I am so late but aaarrrgghhhh starky !!!! Congratulations ThanksStarStarGrin

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 16:41

snow you only need one! What is swi?

Snowdog37 · 20/03/2016 16:02

I'm now 1dpo I think! Only dtd once thanks to dh being too tired. Ffs. And it was yesterday so on the day of ovulation I think. I'm kind of annoyed that I had the hsg and now we only did it once. What a waste. I'm most likely out, I mean I think we did it too late. 😭😭😭 oh well next cycle we will be attacking from all angles what with Clomid and IUI and lots of swi.

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 15:54

So chuffed for you guys.

starky your symptoms sound similarish to me but I still really think it's AF for me.

I am ridiculously weepy today. Earlier I was out on my own feeling lonely and thought I heard my phone beep. Pulled it out of my pocket and realised it must have been someone else's nearby as I had a blank screen. Cried.

Need to get my act together. On a positive note, we've decided to rent that flat. I can't move back in with my parents, it would be beyond a nightmare.

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 15:42

Ok Lovelyfishy, I will be secretly optimistic for you but I understand how you feel 100% Keep us informed, whether it's good news or if the bitch gets you this month :(

I'm much the same as Starky, today I've had lots of CM that keeps making me think AF has arrived, I just cried watching the Downton finale again, then cried when I sat down on the couch and the TV remote control was on the other side of the room! Very pathetic of me! I've totally lost my appetite and don't want to eat anything at all. I've got a weird twingey pain in my right side every now and then, and very dry lips. I've barely slept as I kept getting up to pee. But DH isn't home yet so it might just be because I'm not used to sleeping alone and I might just be over emotional because I keep thinking about the poppy seed inside, eek.

LovelyFishy · 20/03/2016 15:33

Jam I used a Clear Blue test, but not the digital one. I don't want to sound too mizz but I'm pretty sure I'm out the running for this month.

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 15:27

jem chin up, I know how it feels. I thought I was out but af still isn't properly here just a tiny bit of brown blood?????

starky trust me, me of all people knows how it is but worrying about it won't help! Just enjoy it and try distract yourself... Hey crocheting a baby blanket or something! and when the worries pop into your head, don't focus on them and just let them pass!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/03/2016 15:20

Sore boobs, tender nips. I had my usual two back spots. Crampy. Loads of cm making me think af had arrived every 5 minutes. Funny sleeping patterns. Gentle hysteria/the weeps. My usual, standard, normal pms stuff! And twingey tummy like I'd pulled a muscle in my ovaries area.

Only thing that I'd noticed earlier in the week was I could smell/taste everything much more strongly than normal. But I put that down to me getting shut of a cold I've had the last few months! Yesterday and today I've had slight heartburn but nothing serious.

But I'm genuinely still not believing it, I'm can't start to believe it yet. Just in case. I've got a huge irrational fear of it going wrong and and af arriving this week! I can't do the life of me shake it!

Omg!!! Starky!!!! This is the best news ever!!!!!!!

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 15:07

What pre-AF symptoms did you have starky?

I've just been crying down the phone to my DH about how sad I am it hasn't happened this month, I'm so sure AF is coming. My temperature is fluctuating, I've got sore tits, I can't stop crying, I had insomnia last night, I've got lower abdominal cramps, lower backache - just all the classics :(

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/03/2016 14:13

fishy honesty and 100% don't believe the tests, especially ic's! I was sure I was waiting on af. Had all my usual pre-af symptoms on the exact same time line as normal. Ic's are not to be trusted. Did two tests and an ic this morning. Same as jam stong bfp on the normal tests. Ic's do t even barely register anything. A squinter at most! still expecting af to show up

inspector I'm going to do a blog on it which should be up tomorrow! Hopefully get one up tonight and one up tomorrow! I've not been able to sit still properly lol Grin

InspectorPenguin · 20/03/2016 13:20

Congratulations Starky! would love to hear how your DH reacted!

Ever, hope you're feeling better soon. Sounds like you have a rotten virus, make sure you get lots of rest and have plenty to drink.

Good luck to everyone else testing soon. Wish I could join you but my body is steadfastly refusing to do anything since coming off the pill. CD 35 and no sign of ovulation or AF so far :(

But at least the sun is shining!

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 13:19

Hi lovelyfishy, what test are you using? I'm 15dpo now and even though my Superdrug FRER and digital Clear Blue have come up with a strong positive since 11dpo, the ICs are barely even registering it still.

I don't want to raise your hopes up but I also don't want you to give up yet, it is still early as some of our BFPers have only shown quite late!

iPatches · 20/03/2016 13:14

Fishy - you won't know for sure until Tuesday at the earliest. Despite what others including myself say, Starky is right about waiting to test. Bus tickets are funny refundable Grin

LovelyFishy · 20/03/2016 12:25

AF due Tuesday. Not even with my best wishing and squinting was there even a glimmer of a second line. I think I'd better book my bus ticket just in case. Sad But hey! Maybe I'll have a glass of wine with dinner to make up for it. Grin

iPatches · 20/03/2016 12:19

Miley - ooh so that's good. My cycle has been all over the place the last couple of months. I've got everything crossed for this cycle.

Mileymoocow · 20/03/2016 12:08

kwick Wilkinsons dog poo bags are my advice!

ipatches I ov'd on cd12, I had a 26 day cycle Smile

fishy 12dpo is still early, mine was incredibly faint at 12dpo to the point where I didn't even realise it was positive unless I squinted for my life. You're not out

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 11:55

That is such a nice thing to say miley sorry the vom was coming out on the plane.... I have been stockpiling plane sick bags fir such an event since I decided last Easter to TTC.

lovelyfishy 12dpo maybe too early to detect HCG - when is af due? Remember: yiu are not out until you are out!

Ni4444 · 20/03/2016 11:24

No such thing as too early or too late iP. Hugh is an unreliable, moody bastard who will do what he wants, when he wants cant help but think about Hugh Grant in Notting Hill every time we talk about Hugh!

LovelyFishy · 20/03/2016 11:23

Congratulations Starky!

I caved and tested today, 12 dpo and bfn. Sad I really thought I had it this month, quite upset and grumpy today. Not even a whisper of a second line.

iPatches · 20/03/2016 11:02

Miley - firstly, ew for so much plane vomit, but how was Dubai?

Jem - sorry to hear you are feeling like AF is on her way. Get a bottle of wine in the fridge for the second she shows up - and keep hoping she won't, you're not out until you're out!

I had a VERY positive OPK with FMU this morning. Only on CD12, isn't that a bit early?

Mileymoocow · 20/03/2016 10:56

starky I didn't like to say, but I had a feeling for you (and kwick 😉) this month!!!!! Big fucking fat congratulations to you!!! And all other BFP's I've missed. Got home from dubai yesterday and vomited a total of 10 times on the plane. I'm still trying to catch up really. Hope everyone is ok Smile

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 10:41

Glad you've had a lovely hol feef. Hope the holiday isw is fruitful for you! I'm alright apart from house dilemma and PMS...

Sorry AF got you confused I'm pretty sure I'm about to come on too.

Got all the classic pre AF signs over here so feel like I'm just waiting for her to arrive. Feel slightly less able to cope this month with this house situation hanging over us :(

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 10:09

Get well soon everFlowersCakeWine
