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! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

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. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

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

Maybe we can get fishy's employer to pay our group discount?

Hi there, here's my little story of TTC#1 for a baby#1
OV - on CD16 (usually CD13)
6dpo - vomiting and diarrhoea as soon as I woke up. Never experienced anything like it before! When reading on Internet, it might be a sign of implantation on 5dpo. Experienced no blood spotting.
Between 7dpo-13dpo - some days was feeling nauseous in the morning snd sometimes no symptoms at all. And no PMS or AF symptoms leading to AF week.
Was expecting AF on CD29 - nothing.
Cd30 - still no signs of AF or any other symptoms
CD31 (15dpo) - took first PG test - BFN. Did 3 times that morning and still negative. And yet no signs of AF. Boobs started hurting very late at night. And noticed some pink discharge inside. Nothing on the panties.
Today CD32 - (16dpo) - took another PG test this morning - another BFN. Boobs are very sore. But no discharge inside.
I've never been that late and just dont know what to think about it all. Apart from waiting, I guess.
Is anybody experiencing the same? And has anybody been in the same boat before? And could advise?
Thank you!

Fishy what gits Envy

Morning everyone, we seem to have lost the sun Hmm

skip well done negotiating a group discount with O-man. I agree it all sounds 100% legit Grin

jem enjoy working from home Brew

hep yes, the boobs are known to fool us!

lovely that's pants about your job! And I agree cheeky to ask you to commit to another 2 wks. Can you have a post interview meeting and find out why you weren't selected this time round? Might help for future applications?

ni im really enjoying my walking just now, and it's great for keeping the blood circulating in all the right places. I'm doing kind of ok. Well I was until yesterday. A close friend let me know she's just about to hit her 12 wks mark. We would have been pregnancy buddies. I'm really happy for her but I won't lie it was a sad moment and really hit home for my loss. Just trying to stay positive and think that what's for me won't go by me....Sad

HepKestrel · 13/05/2016 10:02

How frustrating fishy !

LovelyFishy · 13/05/2016 09:34

I'm up for the group discount too! We'll all be upduffed before we know it now!

My determined-to-be-happy mindset was tested badly yesterday. Right at the end of my shift I got told I haven't got the promotion I applied for. Fair enough, except I've already been doing the job on a temporary basis for the last 3 months, and they asked me to stay on an extra 2 weeks! Hypocrites much!!! I know I've been doing a good job, so why I was good enough to get the temporary position and suddenly not good enough now.... Grrrrrrr!!!

HepKestrel · 13/05/2016 09:12

cd27...... no signs of pre AF sore boobs...... I know, I know ..... don't trust the boobs....

am getting impatient......

... but its friday...... the sun is shining ...... and OH has decided to be proactive in looking for a new job that he doesn't hate..... and am counting down to mini-holiday at end of the month...... so things not so bad in kestrel-land.

count me in for the group discount ;)

SuchaJem · 13/05/2016 08:52

Sign me up skip that seems perfectly reasonable. Whilst we're there why not ask about your weight loss dilemma? Might be able to dodge that pesky amputation.

ni keep the body strong! Yes don't forget swimming think that's a good one for el preggos.

I'm sleeping sooooo badly at the mo, just can't seem to stay asleep. This is usual before AF but not usually this bad. I think it might be the cat though, since we moved he's been much more energetic during the night Envy

Working from home today hurrah! BrewChocolateFlowersHalo

AliceScarlett · 13/05/2016 08:24

Skip at least with a limb you know you won't grow the weight back Grin

Ni4444 · 13/05/2016 08:07

Well done for holding out Alice! Starky 🌟 for you!

Peaches I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I'd be falling apart right now...how are you doing? Thinking of you and sending lots of hugs xxx

Mother's Day conception is lovely! We conceived back home in Ireland, which I find lovely!!!

Health focus? I kind of got distracted from the yoga...but since BFP I'm not that hungry,and don't fancy crap stuff so eating really healthy, and getting loads of walking in just cos I've had loads of meetings on different sites the last week or two! I want to do lots of walking and yoga while upduffed...want the body to be strong!

FXSkip · 13/05/2016 07:19

peaches I'd take a bit of sunburn over the weird shade of green I've turned having not seen sunlight for 8 months #IloveScotland

Ok I've asked O-Man (we're pals now, he says 'Priest' and 'your lordship, o magic one' is too formal) and he says yes to the group discount and we're all to expect immediate upduffing - no need to wait for ovulation - pending the payment of 5billion Danish kroner into an account in Nigeria. seems legit to me - who's in?!

So my pre-holiday fitness plan didn't exactly work out how I planned. I'm now considering either a Jason Vale juice fast for 5 days or emergency amputation of my lower limbs in order to reach my target goal. I can't make up my mind, there's pros and cons to both.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/05/2016 22:05

The waiting is the worst. Honestly it's fucking horrible. One week to go and then it's the scan date and we'll know what's going in in there if anything. I've had to pretend I'm on a diet because im so bloated and grotty.

Peaches8Posies · 12/05/2016 22:00

Thanks ladies Smile

Been trying to concentrate on being healthy so I'll join in with you guys. Although I went a massive walk yesterday and today and I'm now a fabulous shade of pink Confused that's with a hat and suncream on! Oh well, it's better than rusting away in the rain.

sucha giggled at the group discount comment, all aboard for that haha. Glad you enjoyed your wee drink, I might indulge in a nice fruit cider tomorrow make the most of the sun.

Pugmummy87 · 12/05/2016 21:45

So sorry to hear of your loss peaches welcome back and fx you'll be back on the grads thread soon.

Happly birthday Kat! You can borrow my dogs if you like if you have a strong arm!

Alice fx that it's implantation bleeding!

fishy I get emotional before and after af and during ovulation. I think I must be sensitive to hormonal changes.

Jem I'm really hoping this is your month.

I think I'm going to give up with opks. It seems to be true that they aren't very reliable when you have pcos. Got another peak today! However, I do also seem to have a fair bit of ewcm too, so maybe it is ovulation this time. Had lots of ovulation pain Tuesday morning.
Might ask that priest to sort my ovaries out, be great if we could get a group discount Grin

SuchaJem · 12/05/2016 21:25

skip wonder if the priest will do us a group discount? Cannot begin to imagine how many starky Stars you'd get for waiting until your baby comes out to test ahahaha SmileSmileSmile

fishy my moods before AF - good god I mean medusa has nothing on me AngryEnvySad I'm a total fruit loop

Massive hug for you peaches lovely to see you but so sorry it's in these circumstances. Hope to see you back on the grad thread as soon as possible xx

Happy birthday kat! Ooh what type of dog??

alice really hoping it was IB!

Had a little drinky tonight after work and feeling a lot more at one with the world Halo

AliceScarlett · 12/05/2016 20:47

*shroedingering!

AliceScarlett · 12/05/2016 20:46

iPatches, I can understand that, well, I can't Hmm but if/when I get a BFP I will just be waiting until the scan, the waiting for the 2nd scan etc. It's hard to get hopes up in case they are dashed.

I just checked out the grads thread, it's very busy! So many BFPs since Jan. Was it January when these threads started?
I've started shredding like a champion, now decided as bleeding has gone it could have been implantation bleeding. But I will not test until AF is due.

iPatches · 12/05/2016 19:55

Peaches - I am so very sorry for your loss

I need to move to the grads thread but I am terrified of believing this might work out. Maybe tomorrow. Watched a bit of One Born yesterday and got all emosh, had to turn the channel over after a couple of minutes!

AliceScarlett · 12/05/2016 17:08

Kat I have faith that you will fall into the category of "normal" and get BFP before you have been trying for a year.

Good luck with things peaches

I've just emailed [email protected], fingers crossed.

Feefeefs · 12/05/2016 16:05

Nice to see you back peaches hope you're doing okay, thanks for your good wishes for Saturday.

Annoyed I missed the spam!

5tardusty · 12/05/2016 15:26

So sorry for your loss peaches. Best of luck for next time Flowers.

FXSkip · 12/05/2016 15:14

Hey Kat! yes get a dog! or better yet and join Borrow my Doggy like Moose.
No bfp, no AF, just a pile of REALLY smelly farts. So bad. Just. So. Bad. Frightened that my digestive system has always been this rank though and I've only just noticed now that I'm super chilled out symptom spotting like its my actual job

And happy birthday to you both!

Ha ha Priest Onome should be on everyones speed dial! We'll be mothers in no time :)

HepKestrel · 12/05/2016 12:57

i'm so sorry for your loss peaches

welcome back, and look after yourself !

Mooseville · 12/05/2016 12:47

So sorry Peaches. What awful news.

This thread is like a roller coaster ride of emotions. Pretty much like the whole of TTC.

Healthy eating plan not going toooooo bad here. Few bits of choc have passed my lips but I'm being better than I was! Up to run 4 on couch to 5k, which is a start!

Glad you're feeling better today jem Come on, PMA not PMS!!
Kat I know exactly how you feel, this is a chore now! I have just joined 'borrow my doggy' and I'm requesting to walk one over the weekend! I'd prefer a baby, but if not a dog will have to do.... And if the dog doesn't help, I've Priest Onome on speed dial!

LovelyFishy · 12/05/2016 12:18

So sorry to hear that Peaches. Take care of yourself. FlowersCake
