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!

So just now noticed some blood, bright red. I think AF is showing up early for me. Sad

Thanks kwick! So excited for you and kwicklet and I hope he/she behaves himself/herself at the scan on Tuesday.

Mileymoocow · 17/04/2016 21:24

Aw mate. If heartbeat is there everything is well in your favour! Flowers

Mileymoocow · 17/04/2016 21:23

kwick!! How are you doing??? I'm glad you're not suffering the dreaded sickness, I'm slightly envious of you and starky though. I'm sure kwicklet will be perfect and you have nothing to worry about.

Kwick709 · 17/04/2016 21:23

That is the problem Kat I have no idea... and I am trying not to freak out... they say they saw the sac, yolk and heartbeat but it was all so blurry and they pushed around A LOT and womble/fanjo really did not like that. I am praying kwicklet is doing okay and just was in a hard to view position but owing to lack of symptoms I am worried... need to do some self-PMA.
I dedicated my yoga practice earlier to kwicklet.

KatOnATinRo0f · 17/04/2016 21:13

Kwick what does that mean in the lateral position? I hope everything is okay with kwicklet. X

Hi jem my date was 16th April according to Kindara app.

Kathrino · 17/04/2016 21:08

Hello everyone, I fell off the bus a few cycles ago when work/life got busy but we're back in the game now. FW has just started, we're on our (belated) honeymoon and I'm hoping this cycle (#5 I think but I've lost count) is the lucky one! Will be testing on 5 May although we're not back from our holiday until 10 May so might try and wait until then.

So good to see some of our grads sticking around and hoping for lots more soon!

Kwick709 · 17/04/2016 21:00

Damn... I was still posting to old thread Envy

Hep and Ever very sorry about AF

5star I am so very sorry Flowers

So I am:
kwick
Age: the oldest of the lot at 41!!!!
TTC: #1
I did 5 IUIs which all failed and am now 8+1 after IVF using donor magic potion - I am single so no chukka-chukka available to me.
I have had very few symptoms except for heightened sense of smell (sorry Suchajem but surely the lure of a starky Star will keep you on the straight & narrow), and some nausea (but can be confused with travel sickness). I am taking a shed load of progesterone each day - as being monitored by clinic - including mahoosive needle which goes into bum or upper thigh - I am black & blue. I had an early scan this Monday past - resulted in 3 up the fanjo and 2 on the womble scans as the it seems kwicklet was in lateral position... getting more and more worried about this - have another scan on Tuesday.

KatOnATinRo0f · 17/04/2016 20:23

Age 28

Currently 6+5 like jam conceived on cycle 4, exhausted like nothing else, narky, vaguely sick if I wait more than 3 hours between eating! Ongoing period type cramps. Booked private early scan next Saturday. May then wait till week 10-ish to tell some close family and week 12 before telling work. Finding it weirdly upsetting not to tell people feel like I'm hermitting but equally scared of telling people!

Cycle 2
CD 22ish I think.

Ovulated over the weekend for what I think was the first time in 18 years (due to being on pill since I was 17). I swear I had ovulation pains on Friday night (sharp, stitch like pain in the lower left abdomen) and today my nips stick out and feel tender - never had that before and read it's a common post-Ov occurrence. It's weird, it feels like I have finally become a woman! Grin

Feeling much more relaxed now that I know my body is doing something. Due to test on 30th but happy to go with the flow for a few months - enjoying sunshine and wine quite a lot at the moment :)

Good luck to everyone in thread 14. Hoping there are lots more BFPs - especially for those who've been on the road for longer.

Ever sorry to read AF turned up. Have a proper think about trying to switch off for a month or two and planning some fun stuff for you and OH Wine

Oooh shiny new thread... I'll try to pay more attention to this one I sort of zoned out of the last one.

I'm Kat

TTC #1
Cycle 8 or 9? I lost count. I think 9 now isn't it??? It must be it has been ages
CD ?? 18ish. Apparently I'm on the bus for April 30th which is nice as I didn't know that.
Was obsessed/upset for a few months. Now have taken chill pill (I think chill IV??) as haven't OPKd or checked ovia or anything. However... I have also been eating all the peas (sorry I didn't know I shouldn't?!) drinking all the coffee and all the wine. I'm kinda thinking I'm going to have to give all this shit up for a LONG time so I want to enjoy it while I can now. Blush
Plus summer is-a coming!! Hurrah!
(Although side note that has just occurred to me... At least if I was upduffed and I was looking a bit bloated in my bikini on the beach I can actually legitimately blame it on being a few months preggo... Not just a bit fat... May need to rethink my strategy)

Sorry to all those that are stressed/worried etc.... It will come to all of us eventually. Somehow. X X X X X X X X X

Loadsa symptoms this month, but it's not terribly likely as I was away for the day either side of ovulation. Keep thinking it's when you least expect it that it'll happen, which is a bit of a catch 22 Hmm Was tempted to test today, how silly is that?!? Must walk away from the pee sticks... And the chocolate bars!! Halo

Cycle #5
Quick check of FF tells me I'm cd 31 (I've had a cba with this crap cycle this month and so not actually paid any attention to where I am). AF due tomorrow. Don't feel like she's round the corner, in fact I think I've only just ovulated!

Nil symptoms, apart from sore nips for 2 days and a random bout of nausea that came over me this morning whilst DH and I were driving to take the pugs on a walk around a country park. Sore nips is usual for me after I ovulate though.

To distract me from thinking about the strange nausea episode this morning, I have been been busy making my sister's 18th birthday cake for tomorrow.
She is a big harry potter fan.

Ninja and ever which dates do you need for t'bus?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 17/04/2016 16:53

alice take no notice of that article lovely girl. The 6 things to avoid is basically my diet for the last 10 years! Grin don't stress about things like that, honestly, it's not worth the headache. It will send you loopy I know I'm one to talk but it's not worth it. Enjoy everything in moderation.

ni I've been trying to find a new project but I just haven't had the energy! It's so odd, I'm not used to being so knackered! And headachy so I've not been able to concentrate. One day at a time! I'm excited for Sunday tea at my dps! Steak, ratatouille and baked potato! Yummers!

TTC #1 since December 2015
Cycle 4 (very irregular cycle lengths)
CD35 erghhhh seems like it's gona be another long one.
Think I ovulated either around CD15 or CD20 possibly but not really got much of a clue.

This was my first month using the clear blue advanced fertility monitor but only got highs and no peaks which isn't unusual for the first month.

Had AF cramps since CD25 then stopped yesterday and no balloon tits like I'd usually get before AF. Tested this am, I thought I saw the faintest squinter of a second line within time limit but OH thinks I was seeing things no doubt true. OH chucked it before I could torture myself over it. I suppose if there was anything there it'll still be there in a few days.
