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!

ever that is awesome, so many good things. Hope you manage to relax and start to enjoy it!

kwick brilliant you have now actually had AF and can start looking forward again.

I've managed to stay slightly saner this 2ww so far but will see how things go when Ovia starts telling me I should test. Really want to start testing, almost said I had a good feeling thins month but I always think that around this time. Blush

SuchaJem · 11/06/2016 19:15

Have a good cry Nicky let it all out Flowers it sucks. Once AF is gone I tend to find I feel much more optimistic again. But wallow whilst you need to.

If AF comes for me next week I think I'll try acupuncture next month too.

Sorry 5tar too, earlier opking sounds like a good idea.

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 19:12

Feeling your pain kwick!!

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 19:11

I don't really nicky and i know logically that it's just my hormones post- mc but just in case it doesn't agree with me, i thought i'd keep off it this cycle and observe! It did increase my cm though. I definitely will use it again once things are a bit more normal!

nicky883 · 11/06/2016 18:21

So sorry for that 5star ! Spotting here as well waiting for full af tomorrow ! Really short cycle of 24 days never had one like that
I was actualy thinking of starting epo and acupuncture this month ! Why do you think epo caused anovulation ?

kwick · 11/06/2016 18:04

Why won't our bodies just behave!!!

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 13:35

Putting myself down for CD1 today as my four days of spotting has got a little heavier. Looks like this has been my second anovulatory cycle. Just 19 days this time. Spotting has gone on too long and was really too early for implantation at 4DPO (despite furious googling).

Ah well. SadWine

This month i'm not going to use EPO and see how i get on, in case that contributed in anyway to the lack of ov. OPKs later this week as i got a surge around day 9 last cycle, when i normally ovulate around day 17, and i would've missed it if i'dve not been checking.

nicky883 · 11/06/2016 12:05

Thanks everyone started spotting expected period was on 16 ! So very early
I am so gutted had sex everyday during my fertile window :(
Had a smear test yesterday and i bled so maybe that is what caused it to start early Sad i am on holiday and i want to l stay in bed and cry

bluebird3 · 11/06/2016 10:53

Yay for af kwick! Glad you can get started again soon. The waiting is soooo hard.

Congrats ever! Lovely to see another bfp on the thread.

Sorry for temp dip nicky I ha mixed feelings when temping...it was good know and prepare myself so I wasn't so disappointed when af appeared...but also gutting and makes it seem so long before DILRW comes around. Flowers

MmmMalbec · 11/06/2016 10:17

I'm sorry to jump on your thread but I was being nosey and saw Alice you've had spotting in between periods. Has it been going on for a while? It's just started for me this cycle so I've had swabs and I have to have blood tests next week which should be 7 days after OV but I'm reluctant to believe I'm ovulating when I'm bleeding?

AliceScarlett · 11/06/2016 10:02

Jem I'm in a similar boat, told DH to stop eating do loudly this morning Hmm poor bloke. I'm sure my gp would say 7 months is "nothing" too. I remind myself that 90% of people are pregnant within a year.

Evergreen17 · 11/06/2016 08:42

Thanks Kathrino and Alice Smile

Evergreen17 · 11/06/2016 08:40

Hi Kwick!! How are you?!!FlowersFlowers

SuchaJem · 11/06/2016 08:25

Sorry Nicky, I hope it's not AF but understand you need to prepare yourself.

I'm 7 DPO and very emotional and snappy today which is classic PMS for me Sad so pretty sure it'll be AF for me next week and onto cycle 7.

LovelyFishy · 11/06/2016 07:23

Sorry about AF Nicky.

I appear to have forgotten how to sleep. I don't know why I'm up this early!

kwick · 11/06/2016 06:35

Sorry about that nicky

nicky883 · 11/06/2016 04:55

Its a bit heartbreaking lovely woke up to a temperature dip :( gutted af is on her way so on to cycle 6 !!

LovelyFishy · 11/06/2016 00:01

Yay for AF Kwick, onwards and upwards!

It's always hard when stuff like that happens isn't it Nicky? I've got a wedding coming up soon where I'll see loads of old school friends and most of them have just had babies or are pregnant. So wishing to have a bfp by then!! I have had creamy cm for the past 2 days, currently cd 24...

I'm having a really chill month this time. I've broken quite a few "rules" - had one slice of bread with patè at a work buffet last week, had 1 beer each night for the past 3 days! Plus had some nice playtime with my little kitty cat before bed which is always fun. Smile

marmitetoast1 · 10/06/2016 22:18

Woohoo for AF kwick! Now you know where you are Smile

kwick · 10/06/2016 22:15

alice nice to see you back Smile

Fanks everyone!

Period pain not so welcome... Have to stay off drugs of choice as they impact fertility Confused and paracetamol just does not cut it...

SuchaJem · 10/06/2016 22:04

Hope they get to the bottom of it for you.

The fact they think 6 months is not much time makes me feel a little better in a way x

AliceScarlett · 10/06/2016 21:55

6 months sames. But I started bleeding between periods. So they swabbed for infection and took bloods. GP said 6 months was pretty much nothing Angry

SuchaJem · 10/06/2016 21:41

Hey Alice was wondering how you were doing, did you say you'd had some tests done? How long have you been trying?

I can't believe it's been 6 months already for us. Anxiety has subsided but we are currently in the airport so I always feel calmer when we're on our way home. Ridiculous anxiety! I have enjoyed being here though. Seeing family has been wonderful especially.

nicky883 · 10/06/2016 21:18

I see cute pregnant women EVERYWHERE i swear we are at a restaurant and there are 5 obviously pregnant ladies ! Why not meeeee Sad

AliceScarlett · 10/06/2016 20:24

Jem How's my cycle buddy? Sorry to hear about the anx, it's horrible that feeling :(
