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!

Hello winging hope its third time lucky for you.

Fx for all testers! We need some bfp action.

WingingIt83 · 24/05/2016 17:28

Hi all, i'll join in this thread too if that's okay.

age 32
ttc #1
cycle 3 CD10

Although I guess this is first proper month where we have a shot. First cycle I had no awareness of dates etc, second month DH got really ill so DTD went out the window during whole of FW. This time I am now armed with my temping stick, my app and a lot of PMA!! Have recently starting OPKing too as because I'm a fairly symptom free person when it comes to AF (very little in way of cramps etc) I also never have much idea when I'm ovulating.
Dh has never known me to keen to DTD, and I'm loving the DILRW!
Put me down for testing on 12 June.

HepKestrel · 24/05/2016 16:51

DILRW !!! love that.

Am currently distracting myself job hunting....... whilst waiting for DILRW

surely job-hunting is the white knicker equivalent for ttc?

celizabe · 24/05/2016 16:03

Hi girls, sorry have been off mumsnet for a few days so just catching up with all the gossip now. Congratulations to those that got their BFPs and scans (Stark that's a pretty little bean you've got there!) and sorry to all of you that AF got ... we're in need of another run of BFPs so hopefully this is our month!!

Celizabe - 33
TTC #1
Cycle - 6
CD - 9

Have gotten a new phone so I'm not going to install Ovia or FF - I'm sick of the sight of the pair of them. I'm going to try to do a SMEP light approach - every 3 days, more if we fancy it and then go hell for leather when I get a + OPK. Today is day 1 of a longer ISW than normal, but am putting my mind to it this time around!

Have just made a doctors appointment though, period lasted longer than normal last week. Was pretty much gone and then on Friday I started getting some pelvic aches and pains and then some bright red blood. I'm still getting pelvicky twinges every day so I wonder do I have some cysts or something. Going to plough ahead with my ISW / SMEP-ish plan as first appointment they can give me is Friday next week.

Good luck to everyone entering there DILRW (doing-it-like-rabbits-week Smile) and lots of Cake Chocolate and Wine for those still hanging out with AF.

Snowdog37 · 24/05/2016 11:44

kwick no this last cycle was a normal one. I'm starting the Clomid tomorrow, day 3-7. I'm hoping it'll help more eggs mature and the hcg trigger will kick a couple of good ones down the tubes so when I have IUI next week some time there'll be a good chance of at least one egg taking. I'm nervous about the side effects of the Clomid as I keep reading it turns you into a hormonal raging biatch. But if it works it's worth it.
It's pissing it down today. And quite warm still. I'm a muggy mess.

marmitetoast1 · 24/05/2016 10:30

Ovia keeps asking me every bloody day if I'm on my period yet. Don't think it's helping! She's winding me right up!

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/05/2016 09:43

Okay so I've just caught up with the entire post! Promise to be better this time.
So just checked ovia to see where I am at and apparently I'm on my period!! Arm, thanks for letting me know, O!
It's not actually here yet.
I presume it will turn up sometime today though.

marmitetoast1 · 24/05/2016 09:37

Ha to coquettish vindictive bitch kav! But yes you are right. I guess I need to get used to the fact that it ain't gonna be like clockwork anymore - was used to absolutely timetabled certainty after so long on the pill! Will try and put it out my head for the next few days.
Your temps sound positive (I think, don't really know much about temps yet!) FX!

kavanaughkj · 24/05/2016 09:01

In my experience in the past marmite AF always turned up promptly and on time - except when I actually wanted her to show, when she turned into a vindictive coquettish bitch and refused to turn up until I started having hope again. Probably worrying about it is actually delaying it showing, which I know doesn't help at all!

Beautiful sunny day today! Lovely mantra Kwick Smile My temps are up again this morning eee so I'll test tomorrow if no AF shows ...

Welcome Nicky!

marmitetoast1 · 24/05/2016 08:50

Nice bit of positivity there kwick! At least the sun is shining today which always makes things seem better!

Fancy pants strategy didn't work yday. Still no AF. DH made me do a fmu test this morning. Bfn - as expected bit still frustrating!
Is it normal to have classic feelings of pmt - grinding low back ache, intermittent tummy ache for over a week and still no show!??

Hope everyone else who is waiting for bfp/AF is hanging on in there!

kwick · 24/05/2016 07:16

hep sorry about burping... Jist think about lovely eggs you are making Wink

Still no af here - do beige knickers count? At least this time I remembered to pack towels!

snow/sundog so sorry af got you Flowers was this an IUI cycle?

Welcome nicky!!!

orchard fx

I feel like we all need some "the power of I am", repeat after me:
I am a gorgeous woman with a bountiful heart
I am ripe and ready to be with child
I am in perfect time
I am turning my face to the sun and leaving the shadows behind me

Peaches8Posies · 23/05/2016 20:04

Fingers crossed orchard you never know.

snow hope clomid is what you need.

pug can you get a test before you volunteer? If it's a bfn which a really hope it's not, you could indulge in a bit of tasting. Fx though.

jem definitely not upduffed. I want a period before I try again. But if I was trying this month I would seriously be considering peeing on a stick! Just shows you how or bodies can play tricks on us.....

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 19:41

Eek! Fingers crossed. Is it not showing up on tests then?

Theorchard · 23/05/2016 18:44

Just dashing out, so quick update, but doctor was really kind, did blood test, and said I'm going back to see her whatever the result. Results will be in at the end of the week. Confused Grin she doesn't think it likely I'm pregnant, but said it is certainly possible, especially given the symptoms. Which is what I was expecting her to say. So still waiting!

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 17:55

How are you doing orchard?

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 17:52

Think I'd probably have a beer or two but not any more myself pug, but then I'm trying to cut down generally this month. Fx for you - get yourself a test!

Sorry AF got you snow, feeling positive for you next month with your extra help.

Welcome nicky

Snowdog37 · 23/05/2016 16:30

Well af started so I'm on the June bus. Can I get a ticket for the 15th please? Getting my baseline blood tests and ultrasound this week and starting Clomid on Wednesday. Let's see how this cycle goes!

emalady · 23/05/2016 16:20

Jem hope we both have a better month than this one then!
pug with only negative opks I would be tempted to drink anyway but I'm kinda struggling to be positive. Could always get a test this evening?
Just had a couple of frer tests delivered. Hopefully will get a chance to use them. With even better luck might actually get my bfp.

Pugmummy87 · 23/05/2016 15:11

Fertility friend is saying my temps are possibly triphasic. I've also felt mildly nauseous after eating today. Now I'm either 10-13dpo today. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be volunteering at a beer festival, so involving lots of alcohol.
All I have is an opk in the house, no frers or ics.

Pigsbum · 23/05/2016 14:51

I've still not ovulated according to opk...Hmmfeeling like I might cut a bitch myself soon!

LovelyFishy · 23/05/2016 13:42

15th June is my bus ticket please!

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 13:21

Kav hang in there! Not long to go. Agree entirely that early IC bfns sting like hell too - I had a really low day last week as a result of one of these. Fx for you.

What stage are you at peaches, could this be pregnancy symptoms?

Ema I've put you down, that's the same date as me Smile

emalady · 23/05/2016 12:36

Yey for the new thread. Hello all. All caught up now.
Ema
32
Cycle - not sure, trying since August but not "actively" the whole time as I moved job.
CD 6 put me down for testing on the 18th please!
Feeling much better than I was over the weekend, was a bit weepy but back being more sane about things now. Back on to the next cycle and trying to dtd every other day with opks, might try temping but not sure if it will work as I don't tend to sleep through very well.
Hope you are all managing to stay vaguely sane and no bitches have been cut.

bluebird3 · 23/05/2016 11:14

Fx for you kav and marmite and dryice

It's time for another Bfp!!!

Hope everyone is good. I'm 11dpo and had the tiniest amount of bleeding this morning. It's likely pre af spotting so I just have to wait for the witch to show her ugly face. I hate pre af spotting. Come or don't come but stop f-ing around!!! Grrrrrr...
