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!

Welcome orchard Smile

I've got a weird headache/cold thing today which I'm NOT enjoying at all! Been having weird old dreams too so I'm exhausted!

How are we all?

Cthulhoo · 12/04/2016 14:15

Yay for our grads! Good to know that the thread still has some of its magic. ;)

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 14:09

Hello fishy and cthulhoo - you've missed a shedload of grads mostly! There are still some of us here plugging away and symptom spotting like mofos though :)

Welcome theorchard the bus ticket is when your next AF is due - which I think is 5 May going your stats?

LovelyFishy · 12/04/2016 13:28

Jam that's an awesome scan picture!! Grin

My next ticket is for the 20th April. No idea if we've done it this month, just trying to relax and wait without going mad! I'll be onto cycle 9 otherwise...

flash that is a lovely perk to having a December baby!

celi noted, ticket issued

kat no worries I'm happy to be temporary bus conductor. I'll keep your seat warm. Kats stats has too much of a ring to it to give up permanently

Hello island sorry AF got you but I'm with you on trying to stay relaxed and believe it will happen. Will pop you down for May.

islandgirl99 · 12/04/2016 12:15

Welcome back kat - AF arrived for me this morning (1 day earlier than expected) so it looks like i'm joining you in cycle 9.

I'm still feeling pretty positive about it all though, I really believe that I just need to stay chilled and it'll happen for me and dh in the next few months. Hopefully I'm not just delusional!

We booked a last minute all inclusive holiday to Greece for the end of this month last week, so I have that to look forward to now too, and it means I can overindulge in all the free food and alcohol without feeling guilty.

jem good job on the stats, can i get my next ticket for 13th May please (god, that sounds AGES away)

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 11:41

Jem ** see now I'm making basic errors

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 11:41

Flash congrats on your BFP :) excellent news!

Jam I think you are doing a brilliant job... It got all a bit much for me to read everyone's posts so I'm not sure I will be able to keep up with it. I'm happy for you to do it for a while if you like? I'm not sure who's here and who's not anymore! I may take up the reins again a bit later on, if I stick around.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/04/2016 11:05

flash the early scan's have been done privately. There are specific places that do them. They cost anywhere from £50-100+ depending on where you are etc. We haven't had one, in my mind I need to get to 12 weeks and then I'll start believing it will stick!

Welcome back kat Grin

Congrats jam that little bean looks so sweet and well done you flash - love a good BFP story to keep my hopes up!

Jem thanks for pulling the list together, I'm on for April 17th but not feeling very preggies so I think I'll be on the May bus too. Might have to actually try SMEP next month ... but it sounds like SUCH hard work!!

Flashinthepan · 12/04/2016 10:47

Awww Jam that looks so good. And thanks for all the congrats. Hasn't really sunk in it. DH very excited. And has realised that a mid December baby has the perks of paternity leave followed by almost 2 weeks of holiday and then the start of a new work year of annual leave so even more holiday to settle in.

Sorry to ask, but for those of you having early scans, is that just something you can opt for or only in special cases? Just curious as with the early spotting/AF type bleed (all gone now) I was just wondering if I should have something like that.

Feefeefs · 12/04/2016 10:23

Jam that scan is amazing! I think I'll be 7+4 when I get mine done too! Hope I get such a good picture!

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 08:27

jam that's awesome thanks for sharing, glad to hear everything is going as it should

ni nothing like a bit of holiday planning to lift your soul! I've not been there I'm afraid

Sorry kav I'm out of control here graduating people left right and centre. Will put you down for the 29th

kaaaaaaaaaaaaat :) good to see you. Would you like your list back? I've been moonlighting and not doing a great job of it! Hope you're alright xx

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 07:56

Hey everyone ^waves sheepishly
^
Really glad to see the list up and running Jem!

I had a little bit of a MN break, and I'm not sure that I can catch up on the 700 posts I've missed so I think I'll have to go from here.

Hope all is well hope I've missed some BFPs

What am I in, cycle 9 now? Lol. Maybe I can't do this after all!!!

Kwick709 · 12/04/2016 07:50

jamjar that is amazeballs!!!! I hope I get a clearer image next week.

kavanaughkj · 12/04/2016 00:29

Definitely not a graduate here ladies, sorry. :( Next test date is likely to be April 29 - I'm currently on CD9 of cycle 3 (4 technically but we weren't really properly trying that first one!).

Congrats Flash! And thanks for sharing the pic Jam - lovely to see.

Ni4444 · 11/04/2016 23:49

Wow, that's an incredible shot Jam! Only 7weeks and such a great shape already!

My OH keeps doing my nut by saying "IF we get pregnant", "IF we have kids". I'll throttle him next time!!!

Planning my summer holidays -too exciting to go to bed! Anyone been near Biarritz and can make any recommendations?
