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!

Fingers are firmly crossed snow

As kwikwould say, get yourself a FRER tomorrow! Sorry no idea about acupuncture.

Sorry to hear that ipatches baby bombs are a bastard. Don't feel guilty, we have all had those feelings. I justfelt jealous about the woman on criminal minds who had her baby. We have no control over these feelings!

I was four days late before bfp snow

Snowdog37 · 27/04/2016 21:05

Just a quick update... Am 14dpo, af was due yesterday (the last 6 cycles she's rocked up by the evening of 13dpo) and got a bfn on a cheapie last night. Not sure what to think as surely a bfp would show up by now. Will test again later if the old witch still isn't here. I've got niggly cramps but no signs of anything. My cm is yellowish and kind of creamy. Can acupuncture affect your luteal phase? I had a session last Friday?

SuchaJem · 27/04/2016 20:51

Oh pug Sad was it facebook? I've had a few recently. It's almost impossible to not feel overwhelming Why can't it be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sad

iPatches · 27/04/2016 20:11

Evening all. Thought I'd check in. CD22. No symptoms so pretty much counting myself out already this month. Got baby bombed first thing this morning so floods of tears ensued before I had even left the house, followed by spending most of the day feeling guilty for being such a jealous, resentful cow.

ktt512 · 27/04/2016 19:06

Evening :)

Hope everyone is doing ok, Brew and Cake for those who have been caught by AF - mine is due next weds, what an old hag she is.

This is probably nothing at all, but I've had a weird taste in my mouth for the last 48 hours. It kind of tastes like i've had tonsillitis or something (I haven't), maybe kind of metallic-y but i'm pretty sure my breath doesn't smell, my tongue just tastes kind of nasty...sounds totally gross to actually write it down, but is this a thing if you might be pregnant? Or maybe I just need to get a new toothbrush Grin

twinkydink · 27/04/2016 19:04

I think AF is on her way! Had very light brown spotting today and I'm only day 20! This is the earliest I've ever had it! Am apparently 10dpo but no symptoms at all.

kav you're not out till you're out!

mayago · 27/04/2016 18:23

Sorry about AF pug

Jem you're most certainly right about the boobs! Mine are much less sensitive than I've ever experienced in the TWW Confused

Glad to hear from you again Kwick. Such a great attitude! You're quite the inspiration.

kavanaugh I used a FRER the day I was due, and my line was still pretty faint. I doubt I would have had a positive result 4 days earlier.

Thanks for all the support! I'm feeling good today Smile

Kathrino · 27/04/2016 16:47

Sorry about AF pug. Have lots of Wine and Cake.

Hep and celizabe, enjoy the next few days ;)

Not much to report here either, CD23 and had some cramps that felt like the start of AF last night. Would be quite a short cycle of so but not unusually so. Bored of this now.

celizabe · 27/04/2016 14:59

I'm pretty similar myself Hep, I'm desperately trying to be very hopeful and calm and positive and and and ...!! But I'm now thinking that I just need to be super organised in getting all the information I can so that if I do have to go down the road of getting medical help, I'll have crossed a lot of their bridges beforehand. Either way there's an upside somewhere Smile I hope!!

HepKestrel · 27/04/2016 14:52

I could be anywhere from cd12-cd18, but really hoping for LH surge over the weekend!

I confess, I am starting to lose hope but want to make a good go of this month.

Am hoping this month correlates to ovulation symptoms so i don't have to continuously opk. I am getting better at recognising the symptoms.

celizabe · 27/04/2016 13:58

Hi Hep - we're twins Smile
I'm CD 11 too, no sign of anything on the OPKs. Think I'm normally around CD 16/17 before I get a full on dark line, so my luteal phase is probably quite short. First month temping though, so I'm interested to see if anything is happening at all!

Ditto, big FX for everyone!

Cthulhoo · 27/04/2016 13:45

Woohoo, congrats mayago!

HepKestrel · 27/04/2016 13:38

Hi Celizbe

I am also about to start ISW....

cd11, still negative on the ov monitor.

fx to all!

celizabe · 27/04/2016 13:33

Sorry for everyone that AF got, she's a horrible old cow!!

1 day to go to my ISW ... here's to a lucky cycle 6 Smile

kavanaughkj · 27/04/2016 10:04

Sorry AF got you, pug. I think it's on the way to claim me soon, too. Foolishly used a FRER last night because I had cramps way earlier than I'd expect to get them - normally I have cramps one or two days before AF shows up, but this was 4 days before, which is unusual for me. BFN - disappointingly snowy white test, so would be amazed if I'm actually pg this month given that the FRER is supposed to pick up hcG up to 6 days before your missed period.

I'm not too down about it. DH was very reassuring and gave me a nice cuddle. I'm not out yet but if I am, ho hum ... on to cycle 4. It's still early days in the scheme of things.

blueladybird · 27/04/2016 08:47

I am CD30 out of predicted 36 and have first signs of AF (boobs go from mildly tender to 'brush past me and I'll smack you' over the course of a week) so think I'm out this month. Hoping next FW will be when we're on holiday and have time to DTD lots. Going to order more of the Clearblue four-dayers even though I know they are a waste of money!

Mooseville · 27/04/2016 08:27

I'm just going to hang on jem Tested too early last month and was just disappointed with a BFN. I know there's not really much hope this month thanks to me being away over FW, so I'm aiming for a gleaming Starkeys star. I think AF will appear tomorrow.

I'm all fired up to start healthy regime today! I was working away yesterday so travelling back today, going to stick up on fruit and veg and go on a long walk!!!

Kwick709 · 27/04/2016 08:19

Sorry for AF pug Flowers

SuchaJem · 27/04/2016 08:18

Morning, CD6 over here and am bored of this boring waiting bit before FW and TWW Envy

Sorry about AF pug, hope you're alright Thanks

When are you testing moose? Fx for your little French fancy.

Sorry to hear that pug

1 day to go here.... Can't quite work out if I've got my usual cramps etc or not? If my boobs are sorer than usual or not?
At least up until now it's been an ultra relaxed TWW - we only did it once in fertile week anyway, so I know chances are slim, so that's helping the craziness!
Looking forward to next month, healthier living and lots of DTD this time!!!

twinkydink · 27/04/2016 06:53

Sorry pug Flowers

Enjoy some wine tonight!

Pugmummy87 · 27/04/2016 06:52

AF is here. On to cycle 6! Sad
