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!

alice hope your gp is helpful too and you get some where with your bleeding

Peaches8Posies · 20/05/2016 11:06

Hey kwick thank you x. I'm also waiting on af showing up, fx crossed we are back to normal very soon.

jem i don't think 6 months is really a big deal, but when your trying so hard and so many people around you seem to get pregnant when ever they want it seems like soo much longer. If your unhappy and have a good gp maybe get an appointment and tell them your 6 months in to this and would like some reassurances. Can't see it doing any harm.

happy hello and welcome aboard.

Ni4444 · 20/05/2016 11:01

Jem it took me 7months despite timing sex right and doing everything else I could supplements supplements I know it's not much comfort...and every month is a disappointment, but it seems to be random when it happens (didn't even use pre-seed the month we got pregnant). I still don't understand how it happens
Sending lots of love your way xx

AliceScarlett · 20/05/2016 10:00

is 5 months with nothing something to be concerned about?

No, most couples will conceive within a year, that's why the NHS won't do anything before then. I think it's a worry after cycle 12.
But it is scary tho :( but then if it takes 6 cycles looking back at it it won't seem much at all.

HepKestrel · 20/05/2016 09:43

hello happybus

Flowers Jem

am also feeling a little glum. Think my ov testers will last 2 more cycles, and then I won't bother anymore.

SuchaJem · 20/05/2016 08:27

Hi kwick sorry I'll shift you off June. Hope AF shows up soon!

Hello happybus good luck trying again.

Horrible cramps and very premenstrual now so just waiting for AF to come.

Feeling really rubbish and down about it now 

Kwick709 · 20/05/2016 07:40

Welcome back happybus!!!!

happybus28 · 20/05/2016 07:19

Hi all!

I was on the original thread way back last year but disappeared for a while as we had to postpone TTC due to work/money issues! Anyhow I'm back and trying again! Stats below

Age 28 (soon 29)
Cycle 1
CD10

Hope you don't mind me jumping back on the thread! Happy to see there's been so many BFPs since I left!

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 22:28

inspector Gold milk should be fine if organic. I know I sound incredibly middle class/hippie chick but when fat is involved then very important organic as if not pesticides used will go straight into you.

I am all caught up: hooray!!!

Off to bed... No doubt there will be a gazillon posts whilst I am asleep!!!

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 22:23

Sorry if my absence caused concern but rather nice to have been missed i I have been in 3 different countries in 2 weeks - next week is going to be manic as well... I am still on rollercoaster of emotions. I would have been 12 weeks this week... I am still heart broken.

I think I saw I was down for June testing - no way I am afraid. I can only start IVF protocol again when have had 2 AFs and still no sign of first.

starky mega PMA and fx for tomorrow. Here are some Starky Stars: StarStarStarStarStarStarStar

lovelyfishy where are you staying in Venice? Such a lovely place to visit :)

InspectorPenguin · 19/05/2016 22:16

Oh yes, Stark, good luck for tomorrow! We'll all be thinking of you and eagerly awaiting pics of MiniStark!

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 22:14

jamjar thanks for sharing piccie.... How exciting! Amazeballs!

InspectorPenguin · 19/05/2016 22:13

Ah ha, milk! A new fixation for cycle 4 when it comes around :)
I love gold top milk even more than blue milk - would that be better for my ageing eggs?...

Thanks Kwick!

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 22:11

bluebird sorry about colleague betrayal - I would feel the same as you. You can get office voodoo kits... Just saying Confused

Ni4444 · 19/05/2016 22:10

OK Im caught up!!!

Good to see you Kwick! How's things??

Sorry the tests aren't playing ball Jem Clearly you got a pack of duds!

Saw GP today and completed referral to hospital/midwife!! Weird hearing someone say "congrats" in real life!! Haven't told anyone else yet. Feeling hungover all this week....hello baby nausea!!

Stark can't wait to hear how your scan goes! Use all the calming strategies you've got (gulp down iced water...calms down the body and distracts the attention from focusing on thoughts) xxxx

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 22:07

Milk: drink copious amounts on lead up to ovulation, go back to normal levels during 2ww as can interfere with implantation. Once bfp I think can guzzle away! Should be organic and blue Grin
BTW this is to improve egg quality, which is very important. I have other tips too - can repost if there is interest.

Ni4444 · 19/05/2016 21:57

Hey guys...just catching up.

Pug your temps aren't that all over the place...the weekend ones are out...but I bet that's cos you took them at a later time. Looks pretty good to me!

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 21:53

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 19:38

flash you weren't insensitive. Maybe I should contact my clinic. But first I think I will do a POAS.

Kwick709 · 19/05/2016 19:35

Just showing signs of life but I am not at all caught up Confused
AF still not made an appearance Envy

bluebird3 · 19/05/2016 18:52

Thanks for the support everybody. You've really made me feel a bit better after a crappy day where I shot daggers out my eyes at my 'friends.'

alice hope you get somewhere with the mid cycle bleeding
