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.

WE SHALL WIN IN THE GAME OF SPERM MEETS EGG! IT WILL HAPPEN!

We were very lucky on our first, first go and we conceived.

I feel quite nauseous today, it's too early to test at 8dpo???

InspectorPenguin · 04/04/2016 11:57

Aw, nice to hear you sounding a bit more excited Feefs :) I can imagine work must be impossible though!

Skip Big holiday sounds fab, I'm very envious. Have fun planning and enjoy not the head space that not being obsessed about TTC will give you!

Welcome CatLady. It sounds like we are in a similar place in terms of age, time coming off the pill etc. Hope your journey has got off to a good start and you're feeling excited about it all.

Jem really sorry to hear you're feeling upset. I don't think the men are able to understand the impact TTC has on us and just how vulnerable it makes us. It sounds like your OH is genuinely sorry though so I hope you are able to enjoy your anniversary Flowers

Awww feef that is so awesome. Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months :)

Lovely to see you peaches glad to hear all going well. I'm glad people pop back! It's feeling a bit quiet here after the recent run of bfps.

Sorry about AF kav hope she clears off soon so you can crack on to next eggo

Day 12 here and just got an absolute shedload of EWCM Shock the epo really seems have kicked in! It feels too early for me to ov and nothing on the opks but will definitely be upping DTD activity.

FXSkip · 04/04/2016 10:59

lol flash they're so dozy sometimes, it really does make you wonder how our OHs ever seemed so intelligent!! We are also on a break, as I've mentioned about 5000 times. Even being on a break I don't really stop thinking about it. Possibly because I was using Ovia to try to avoid ISW but my cycles are still irregular since coming off BCP so now I'm a little worried. Planning to book some flights soon for crazy big holiday so better not be my month! Baby bomb from oldest friend, but I'm delighted as shes been trying for 3 months so its all good. (I'm glad she's going through it first too tbh!!)
Congrats feefs how lovely for you! GrinGrinGrin

Feefeefs · 04/04/2016 10:59

Thanks vix too sorry missed you there! Cannot focus at work Confused

Flashinthepan · 04/04/2016 10:26

There is definitely some kind of weird connection between AF and pregnancy related things kavanaugh. I planned to buy a pregnancy test earlier in the week, just in case, and I got home having thought about that and bam, there was the witch.

Think we're taking a month off TTC. DH said he wants to get the kitchen finished as he feels like too many things are happening at once and he wants to concentrate on TTC, not just have it happening in the background. However, he said maybe we can try in a few weeks, and I said well really its 2 weeks or 6 weeks. He was of the mistaken belief that you had AF then 2 weeks of fertility followed by a week pre-AF of "becoming pregnant or not". Silly man.

kavanaughkj · 04/04/2016 10:01

Awww congrats Feefs! It must feel a bit surreal. I'm still so early into the TTC journey but it's already feeling like something that I'm only imagining will happen, so whenever I see another lady here make the grad list it's heartening. Flowers

Well, AF showed up with a vengeance yesterday - a day later than expected but at least she didn't hang around too long to tease me. Roll on another month, during which I will try to calm my tits and not stress too much! Tis funny though - I was chatting on the phone to a friend with a new baby, worrying about late period, and the moment I heard the baby cry at the other end of the phone ... well, I hung up a few minutes later and that's when AF showed, in sympathy I guess >_<

This will happen for me, I am not ancient by any means. Tempted to book in to a nice hotel for a night around my next fertile window though!!

Feefeefs · 04/04/2016 09:34

Thanks peaches, miley, jem and ni!

I can't really believe it yet but also can't think about anything else!!! DH just got a new (better) job and it all just feels perfect!

Only thing I did different this month was take EPO! And holiday which I think was what did it really! Drinking less coffee too but been drinking more alcohol and eating more food!

Can't really believe it yet!

Peaches8Posies · 04/04/2016 09:21

Hello ladies 😆

Just plodding along here reckon I'm about 8 was now. Not been really too bad, feel yucky at times, really really tired but not as bad as some poor folks get it. And it's all for a good cause. Anyway just wanted to pop by and see if April was bringing you any more bfp's, and low and behold we have feefs!! Congratulations 😊🎉❤

(feefs mine was faint to start with got stronger as the week went on x)

Fx this is the start of another run! You guys are always in my thoughts, can't wait to have you all on board 😊❤

Mileymoocow · 04/04/2016 08:57

feefs there's 2 lines there, no doubt about that!!!! Congratulations GrinFlowers

SuchaJem · 04/04/2016 08:48

Yaaaay feef!! Congratulations :) how are you feeling?

Ni4444 · 04/04/2016 08:08

Welcome Julia! How long did it take to conceive number 1?

Ni4444 · 04/04/2016 08:07

I see a line Feefs (and my eyes are usually useless at this things!) I think congrats are in order!!! Hooray!! Star

My temp has dropped this morning so I think I'm out. Gonna go put through that order of supplements that has been sitting in my Amazon basket! Agnus castus here we go!!!

vixarooni · 04/04/2016 08:05

I see it feefs!!! Congratulations!!! I knew you were, i had this feeling!

Hi Julia good luck! Isn't symptom spotting THE worst!?

Feefeefs · 04/04/2016 07:59

Welcome Julie.

Im cycle day 35 kwick! About 19DPO I think!

Thanks jam and inspector! I thought I was losing my mind a bit! Ha ha

Julia2016 · 04/04/2016 07:52

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind if I join.

We are on month four of ttc for our second. Currently 8dpo. Have cheapie tests that say I can test from 7 days dpo but I don't want to yet as it's quite early. Of course I have symptoms but then I get them every month!! The only different symptom I have this month is a lot of bloatedness, my boobs are getting a bit sorer but that could be PMS. I really wish I wrote down my symptoms on my first but I do remember knowing I was pregnant if you know what I mean.

Fingers crossed for you all..

InspectorPenguin · 04/04/2016 07:50

I can see it pretty easily! Fingers crossed for you x

Kwick709 · 04/04/2016 07:47

feefs I see it! Cannot wait for tomorrow morning! How far are you in 2ww?

Feefeefs · 04/04/2016 07:26

Also it's more obvious in real life DH could see it abeit thought it was very faint! I'll do another tomorrow

Jamjar12 · 04/04/2016 07:23

That second picture is better... I have my fingers very tightly crossed for you!!!!

Jamjar12 · 04/04/2016 07:22

At first I thought I couldn't see anything at all but if I wiggle my phone screen around, I think I can just about catch the faintest of lines!?!?!

Feefeefs · 04/04/2016 07:21

Can't get my hopes up yet I feel like it's too faint

Catching up. Flowers and (hugs) for all
.

I just bought more vitamins and ovulation tests as I felt I needed to do something ... Technically on 2ww but only DTD was 6 days pre-ovulation so no Schrödinger pregnancy this month.

Only one more cycle before I turn 37 Sad
