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!

So excited about you starky! Eeek

sorry snow Flowers
I think i am on the cusp of the 2ww, might try to convince OH for one more WinkWink but he has a bad tooth Confused that he has been complaining about for the last few days. Finally seen dentist. On the plus side he can't drink for the next 5 days ....

FXSkip · 31/03/2016 16:03

Aww snow don't be so hard on yourself, you've had a stressful month - I'm not even sure I'd count it myself. With any luck the clomid will do the job, but you just keep your chin up xx

celizabe · 31/03/2016 16:00

Hi Ladies, just spent an hour catching up on all the news - wow, that's quite the number of BFP's, making me feel all optimistic. Sorry I've been AWOL for a few weeks, been crazy busy with work.

So, just to stay at the same bus stop as all of you:
Cycle 5 for me
CD 12 today
Next AF due somewhere between 17th-19th April

Feint OPK lines for the past two days which is totally throwing me off, didn't get a positive until day 17 last month - no idea what's going on! I'm feeling all twingy and pringy so going to start my ISW this evening. It should have been yesterday but I overfed DH so he wasn't in a very giving mood Smile

I've pulled together a little spreadsheet for myself and I'm feeling a little more in control now; I'm feeling quite zen about Cycle 5 ... think I'm going to delete Ovia though, she's absolutely doing my nut. Emailed me today asking me do I like avocado?? What's that got to do with getting upduffed?!! Confused

Snowdog37 · 31/03/2016 15:40

11dpo here, temp is on its way down... Cycle 6 looms ahead, and it's a Proper American One with Clomid and the full works I think. Just have to pick up the prescription once af is confirmed to be in the house. I'm really upset as I had bad cramps and headaches all 2ww and I thought I might have got lucky with a one shot wonder. I think my eggs are too decrepit. 😭😖😭

Mooseville · 31/03/2016 14:02

I didn't even know early ones existed until recently. I think I'd be too curious not to!!!

KatOnATinRo0f · 31/03/2016 13:40

I think I'd have an early scan.

I'm enjoying my not-SP. but DH has gone all Mr Starky on me and is 100% convinced I am upduffed. He says "he knows". Lol. He's just having a SP of his own!

Sorry moose Grin it's a couple of weeks off but will give me something to focus towards I suppose, I still cant/don't believe it. It's genuinely surreal!

We had a little discussion about maybe doing an early one, will bring it up again next week but I'm not sure tbh. I think I'd like one, and the place near us does them for £50. But I don't know if I'm being daft about it. If Dh said "book one" then I would, but probably not off my own back.

starky you are definitely not helping!!

How long till your appointment?? Are you considering a private early scan?? Think I'd be tempted to!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 31/03/2016 13:09

moose I had restless legs and back ache sorry I'm not helping at all.

I really don't understand temping, it's too mathematical for me, opking I can do "wee on this end" I'm good at that!

Phoned the doctors, got my appointment, now to just sit and wait. I thought the tww was bad, this is worse.

Mooseville · 31/03/2016 13:01

Sorry ni Don't temp, it all sounds waaaay too confusing!

vix that book looks great. Although I now have 5 baby books in my Amazon basket after clicking through various other books while I looked at that!!
No AF here, she's playing mind games as restless legs and back pain indicate her arrival yet she's not there!!! This TTC is a complete mind f#%k!

Ni4444 · 31/03/2016 08:53

Glad to hear it Feefs! FF backtracked on my ovulation date today (said it was Cd 18 before when my temp clearly rose cd20!). We're in agreement now! So I'm 7dpo today not 9. But it still says test on Monday (I'm being a rebel and doing the day before on CD30)
Can anyone answer this wondering of the Ni mind ... My temps this luteal phase are the lowest they've ever been... Hovering above and below coverline. I know I ovulated from right ovary this month whereas usually it's left. Would different ovaries/corpus lutem produce different levels of progesterone?... Or it could be that my estrogen level is higher this month...other than taking iron tablets I haven't done anything different this month!

vixarooni · 31/03/2016 08:20

Hi gang!

I found opks don't really work for me at all. I never seem to get a line, unless I test before my period and then I get one and think I'm preggo so not doing that again!

I'm cd25, felt things in my head as usual!

I bought oh a book for his birthday called commando dad, I thought it looked really cool!

bryony jeez, ovulation pain resulting in the appendix out, you must be made of Stern stuff!!

Sorry about the AF flash

Evergreen17 · 31/03/2016 08:04

Nooooo feefs that has happened to me before, so annoying!

Feefeefs · 31/03/2016 07:49

Ugh just wrote a long post and then deleted! Angry

Anyway upshot will wait till Sunday to test ni and Kat unless AF gets me first.

Evergreen17 · 30/03/2016 21:18

Thanks kat and starky the first batch I got were 1 step with that R registered brand symbol. The second one was a 1 step copy Envy I hope this batch is good Confused

Pugmummy87 · 30/03/2016 21:00

Stark I would ring your gp asap so you can get your midwife booking in appt booked for the appropriate time, especially as the midwife is likely to be busy and booked up for a week or two ahead.

Am hoping that the cuddles and cooing over my friends cute baby will encourage my ovaries to produce a nice mature egg very soon! Day 4 of high fertility today (cd13), hoping to get a peak in the next couple of days!

FXSkip · 30/03/2016 20:44

kwick sounds like you've had a right old time of it, wishing you happy and healthy 38 weeks (ish) ahead though pal xx

Kwick709 · 30/03/2016 20:28

starky please go and see your Dr. I guess I am lucky as the clinic is all over me!!!! One of the lovely nurses told me categorically last week that I was definitely preggers and that there was no way to mimic the levels of HCG that came through in my blood test. I found this very reassuring... what has got me worried is the fact that I still do not seem to be producing the right levels of progesterone naturally - hence all the injections, pessaries and fanjo gels. Hopefully my blood test on Friday will bring good news.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/03/2016 20:22

kwick I haven't done one since Saturday. ..but I'm probably going to nip and get one more before I phone the doctors! Still freaked out! I read can't get past it yet! How are you doing?

Kwick709 · 30/03/2016 19:44

Sorry flashinthepan Flowers

starky have you done any POAS recently? I may have done another test a moment ago just for reassurance Blush

Flashinthepan · 30/03/2016 19:39

Evening all. Hope everyone is well. I'm on hols this week, extending the Easter break. After spotting for pretty much the whole of the 2ww I think I'm first proper day of af today so I'm out, despite not being due on for another 3 days but still, onwards and upwards. Hopefully everyone has lots of chocolate from Easter to keep them unstressed!

Mooseville · 30/03/2016 18:57

Aargh don't give me false hope, I'm trying to remain passively unbothered and calm!!! (Yeah right!!!) ha ha

Am at the bingo tonight so that'll take my mind off impending AF. Fingers crossed for a big win!!! Ha ha

Mooseville · 30/03/2016 18:55

I'd try to hold out till Saturday I think - just because I'm still not 100% sure what my cycle is.... OPK's are whiter than white though!!! Ha ha I hate the thought of a BFN with a proper test so I think I'd like to hang on as long as I can for AF if you see what I mean? I'm pretty certain I'm out though.... Only DTD that one time until the other night - less than before we were TTC! Ha ha It was down to illness though....
