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!

twinky 32days. Normal 29 day cycle. So not that late.

Had a late lh surge on CD 18, so I think the cycle makes sense.

I didn't have high hopes this month, so feeling OK.

twinkydink · 16/04/2016 10:15

Thanks pug and stark you have put my mind at rest. Have told dp to be at the ready as soon as he returns tomorrow! Just have to hope I ovulate towards the end of that window!

I stop doing the CB tests now don't I? What about EPO should I keep taking that for a couple of days?

Sorry to hear AF arrived hep how long was this cycle?

Ni don't count yourself out, all it takes is one time so you might as well give yourself a shot!

Ni4444 · 16/04/2016 09:51

Sorry about AF Hep. Mimosas for breakfast?! Wine

Ni4444 · 16/04/2016 09:51

Sympathies to all the tww-ers going crae crae atm! In a way I'm lucky my luteal phase is short so I don't have a full tww (10days), but my follicular stage is so long with O at CD19 that I am so frustrated waiting to get down to dtd!!!! Cd11 today -Gonna do every other day from Cd10-17 in the hope that there are swimmers galore in position as I'm then away from OH for nearly 3 days then! Or maybe I should completely accept that this month isnt gonna be our month?!

HepKestrel · 16/04/2016 09:18

AF here. Put me down for 16th may bus ticket

Pugmummy87 · 16/04/2016 08:55

Bloody autocorrect, I meant after I ovulate, not afterbirth! Long way off producing a placenta yet!

Pugmummy87 · 16/04/2016 08:54

twink I had that the first month I used those clear blue opks. No flashing smile just straight to the static smile. As starky says it just means you are going to ovulate within in the next 12-72 hours. Dtd when you can.

Sronly suspect I ovulated yesterday. On cd29! Woke up with sore nipples. Always get that afterbirth ovulate.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/04/2016 08:29

twink peak/positive opk just means that you are producing enough lutenizing hormone to trigger a response in a test. It means you will probably ovulate in the next 12-72 hours! You have a large window yet! Do not fear, loads of time! 😁

twinkydink · 16/04/2016 07:18

By the way I am only on CD9 surely that's too early to ovulate or does the peak fertility face mean I will.ovulate in the next couple of days?

twinkydink · 16/04/2016 07:16

Opk experts I need help!! I'm on day three of testing with clear blue and I've had two days of the empty circle. Just done one this morning and I've gone straight to the non flashing smiling face, is this normal?!

My dp is away until tomorrow lunch time does this mean I'm screwed for the month? I thought I was supposed to get flashing smiling faces before the non flashing smiling faces?!

Opking is supposed to make my life easier not more confusing! Confused

Fishy I spot every month before and after AF. The first couple of months I convinced myself it was implantation but now I know it's just my stupid body. However if it's not something you normally have it could definitely be a sign of implantation. My sister had IB and thought it was AF so she didn't actually realise she was pregnant until a month later. Fingers crossed!!

LovelyFishy · 15/04/2016 23:20

Teehee, spitting. I think you know I meant spotting!!

LovelyFishy · 15/04/2016 23:19

No more spitting today, maybe a little cramping but that could just be me being hyper sensitive/crazy right now! I have so lost my head this month, but I'm just gonna try and roll with it. Grin

bluebird3 · 15/04/2016 21:27

fishy any more spotting today or has it stopped? I spot exactly like that leading up to af. With IB it shouldn't last for more than a few hours so if it's stopped it could be a good sign. If you're still having brown spotting it might be af. Fx for you!

Kwick709 · 15/04/2016 20:59

snowdog I was thinking of you just the other day my lovely. How goes it?

miley your morning sickness sounds awful but at least you have a real sign to prove you are preggers!

Right I am off to bed... Seriously need to catch up on beauty sleep!

Kwick709 · 15/04/2016 20:51

starky I would recommend an early scan... Even if my one has thrown up spme questions at least I can keep a lid on my excitement well at least try to

Ladies I am 41, nearly 42... I know I had intervention but this was mainly because I have no one to have chukka chukka with.... Please do not lose hope!

Kwick709 · 15/04/2016 20:45

Good luck with the move suchajem

Kwick709 · 15/04/2016 20:38

Ooops! I am way behind on the thread - only on page 34!

Let me join the tea debate: I LOVE tea! I do not drink coffee though - maybe this is why I was fine switching to decaff tea. Now I have one proper tea a day & the rest is a mixture of decaff and and Pukka teas like 3 cinnamon or lemon, ginger & manuka honey.

HepKestrel · 15/04/2016 20:00

hello snow! glad you haven't forgotten us Grin

Pugmummy87 · 15/04/2016 19:48

Jem I'm going to wait to see if AF arrives. Can't be doing with the disappointment or the faint lines and then af turning up.
However, I think I am in for a long cycle and I'm ovulating at the moment. Lots of cm, quite watery/egg white consistency and ive been getting lot of stabbing/pinching pains similar to when I ovulate today so best get dtd tonight!
We'll see what happens.

miley glad to hear you have been less sick since the iv fluids.

celi when I temp (I haven't for about 11 days now as cba) I get a drop about 2 days before af and when af arrives it goes straight down to normal. Which was why last cycle was so weird for me as it took ages to go back down!

I am on annual leave for a week now hurrah!

Mooseville · 15/04/2016 19:13

I'm new to the world of tea and coffee. Used to hate hot drinks - but I'm getting sold! I agree with strong though, although a double bag seems extreme!!

Managed a quick DTD this afternoon, possibly day after O but only one we'll get in this fertile week thanks to that stupid course! Fingers crossed it did the trick... Feel c relaxed about it though, no OPK or anything as I felt it wasn't going to be this month due to being away. Bet I still manage to freak out on the TWW!!

Glass of wine in hand - roll on treat weekend for everyone!!!!

Evergreen17 · 15/04/2016 19:04

Snow I am still here SadSadSad Good of you to come say hello, I was wondering what you were up to. Good luck with interviews and paper work, good to keep busy Smile

Evergreen17 · 15/04/2016 18:57

Jem so far no AF but it could come on Monday and still be a 28 days cycle so... ConfusedConfused
OH niece and nephew are coming to stay this weekend Smile They are such cuties!!!!! I want some!!!!
But at least I will be distracted and if AF comes it wont be so bad as I will be having fun.
I love Max! Smile
Inspector thank you very much for your words of advice SmileThanksThanks
Thanks starky Star as well SmileSmile

Ni4444 · 15/04/2016 18:49

Kav I've googled the same!!
Celi temp drop for me is 1 day before usually. It at least saves me wasting tests!
Jem we left our cat out in the garden for the day while we moved. She was happily sleeping somewhere oblivious to it all!!

Ps...the weird symptoms was from taking two doses of coq10 in the morning...apparently it can cause low blood pressure.. It's being researched as an alternative to high blood pressure meds! started taking one in morning and one at night and feel fine today. Just proves these supplements do make changes to the system....and that Dr Google is alive and well!

SuchaJem · 15/04/2016 18:26

No he hasn't lovely and he wouldn't like it very much I don't think. He's very much our baby, sleeps in our bed, lies upside down in our laps, loves being carried around. He's quite clingy. I don't think he would like being second fiddle to a baby...

LovelyFishy · 15/04/2016 18:22

Sucha I love Max! I have two cats myself, they're spoiler rotten. Has yours ever met a baby?
