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!

Congrats lucy v pleased it's good news. That keeps us going on this thread!

jem lolling at the floor situation!

I'm feeling very uninspired this month, I'm trying to just forget about fertile week and just hope that when we do it, it's the right time. (Hard to do with Ovia bitch's updates) but DP isn't feeling performing under pressure, I'm getting stressed if he doesn't feel up for it and I'm in fertile week. Our usual routine is about once a week anyway, so if I just attempt to leave it that surely it'll hit fertile week at some point????? I'm a bit sick of stressing about it. (This may change by tomorrow once ovia gives me a 8/10 and I feel the need to do the deed!!!) ha ha

SuchaJem · 25/06/2016 22:27

Love hearing from the grads, it reminds me bfps do happen and gives me hope that I might get there!

Glad it's all going well skylucy Smile

HepKestrel · 25/06/2016 21:04

Like your style ema !Wine

emalady · 25/06/2016 17:55

Very good news sky glad your little bean is sticky.

Decided to "celebrate" my lack of bfps with slimming world home made chocolate mousse raw egg and all with a glass of wine and a hot bubble bath before getting back into dilrw.

HepKestrel · 25/06/2016 17:25

Hi Sky!
glad you have a sticky bean ! we needed some happy news this weekend.

SkyLucy · 25/06/2016 17:00

Hi all, been keeping an eye on the thread for a while, just thought I'd pop in to commiserate with all the AF arrivals and Brexit fallout! I'm still in shock, punctuated with thoughts of "let's move to DH's native (EU) country!"

My little bean has stuck so far - had a scare this week when I started bleeding, but a very early scan showed a resilient bean with a flickering heartbeat. My dates got put back...according to LMP I would be 7+3...but I'm actually only 6+1! Moral of the story - never assume you ovulate halfway through your cycle!

Anyway, take care everyone, fx for a flurry of BFPs Smile

emalady · 25/06/2016 15:13

Hi all, also feeling pretty shocked about the whole Brexit thing, so sorry you are not feeling welcome Nicky we are both from the UK but have been chatting on and off about moving to Australia since we went there on honey moon - have contacts there and could get a job very easily. Started getting a bit more info. Think it would be a much better place to bring up children but not sure I could leave my family. Sad times. Trying to be positive but not really managing too well at the moment.

Peaches8Posies · 25/06/2016 11:14

Morning ladies.

marmite i think we all still have that post referendum hangover. Are you Scottish yourself? I'm a Glasgow girl Grin hope you enjoy joy your hols, hope the bitch stays away for you. If not get yourself some delicious cocktails and hopefully you bring home a little sticky bean with you.

sucha lol at the creaky bed, been there done itGrin enjoy your party. 91 is definitely a reason to celebrate!! Fx the sun pops out too.

kwick this time next year your allotments will be in full bloom! Hopefully you'll have a little one strapped on your chest as you are out picking you fruit and veg. I'm thinking about planting some easy stuff in some tubs to get in to growing. Unfortunately I don't have a great big garden but I'm not going to let it stop me Smile. My neighbour does some rubarb and my other neighbour has just started a veg patch with potatoes carrots etc... think I should do a few different things and we could all swap goodies when they are picked. Home grown stuff tastes soo much fresher and tastier.

Anyway, hopefully it's a better day for everyone. X

kwick · 25/06/2016 09:51

I am off to allotment - hopefully today we can fill and plant out the remaining raised beds... Hmm that may be a bit ambitious... Anyway I am looking forward to being in great outdoors!

marmitetoast1 · 25/06/2016 09:27

Haha jem!! Have been there with the creaky beds, good that you're already thinking ahead to the floor! Wink

Good luck to all those in fw and 2ww! I'll be checking in now and then as and when have wifi - hope to see a bfp or two!!

SuchaJem · 25/06/2016 09:21

Fx our next bfp is marmite flavoured. Hope you enjoy your hols.

Cd 10 for me just getting into the fertile bit. Heading up north for a family weekend celebrating my grandmas 91st birthday. Going to have to sneak some stealth DTD in quietly tonight, probably on the floor to avoid bed creaks! We do have our own room I hasten to add!

marmitetoast1 · 25/06/2016 08:48

Morning all, currently sat in the airport waiting for flight to Italy. Not feeling my usual excited holiday self, so fucking pissed off about Farage and co and bloody idiotic "Brexit" situation. I may be returning home to Scotland sooner than we had previously planned!

What an utterly shit week all in all.

CD30. Held of testing this morning. No signs of AF yet.

LovelyFishy · 24/06/2016 20:05

I am totally shocked too, couldn't believe it when I found out this morning! I am half Scottish and recently DH and I have talked about moving back there for the cheaper houses, better place to bring up children, etc. Looks like me might be in the move if Scotland stay with the EU!

So sorry for anyone who's feeling poop about this decision. It's just so not right!

kwick · 24/06/2016 19:07

What a frickerty fcuk mess!
Sorry if I offend anyone but I really believe the leave vote has come about from ignorance. People confusing immigration with refugees, people not understanding the importance financially of remaining. What a sad day.

nicky I am very sad to hear you have not felt welcome.

We should all be coming closer together not further apart.

HepKestrel · 24/06/2016 13:49

kav,sucha yes, he should be safe. I have a family member in the same situation. There must be 100,000+ EU people married to uk citizens in UK? And many have been here decades (and had children here).

There will be more information soon (I hope)

SuchaJem · 24/06/2016 13:42

Kavan I'm pretty sure if you're married to a uk citizen you can live here.

God I feel so utterly depressed about this. I still can't quite believe what's happening. So much uncertainty, it's so unsettling Sad

kavanaughkj · 24/06/2016 13:29

Feeling a bit sick and not due to TTC efforts for once - I'm in utter shock here too. DH is not a UK citizen and I have no clue what this could mean for the two of us - this country isn't the place I thought it was. In 24 hrs my world feels upside down - now I'm not sure I want to be raising children here at all!

Half of my family voted Leave so I do know a few. My local constituency scraped a Remain vote by 0.5% so there's that at least.

Wondering if Scotland will welcome me and DH! I'm English and not altogether sure I'd be very popular north of the border, whether i voted Remain or not.

Nicky, I'm beyond heartbroken that you would feel unwelcome. Please try to remember just under half the country voted 'in' - and of those who didn't, I suspect the vote was as much about hating Cameron and wanting to push for better living circumstances as anything else.

I hate this result but I honestly hope we can salvage something from it and remain open and welcoming to other nationalities as much as we can.

HepKestrel · 24/06/2016 12:15

would love to join you up there peaches !

moose if you are selling in the uk and buying in the uk, you are mostly* insulated from house price changes, as your house may be worth less - but so is the one you want to buy.....

I think all we can do is not panic. Things hopefully** will become clearer in the next weeks. the panic in the market is mostly down to uncertainty as opposed to a decision.

*caveats for impact on mortgages, deposits and regional variations....
**that is about the limit of my pub-discussion economic knowledge!

in other news, I am one day away from my longest ever cycle. I mostly get signs a day before AF arriving...... nothing yet. cd36
No hopes to get up as BFN and I was ridiculously stressed. would just like new cycle to start again. But at least it gives me something else to think about!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 24/06/2016 12:06

I'm absolutely gobsmacked. I didn't think that would happen. Bawled my eyes out for a good two hours thus morning. What a mess.

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 12:04

Thanks ladies i am just really shocked i honestly didnt think there were so many leavers i honestly dont know anyone who voted leave .

Oh well a lot of thinking over house to do over the weekend when is my fertile windown so i think we are out this month

Peaches8Posies · 24/06/2016 11:08

nicky you are more than welcome. You contribute to our economy/society , you are a good person, please don't let this make you feel this way.

I'm disgusted that people fell for the lies of Boris and farrage! Do people really think these self serving millionaires are working in our interests!! Dark day for us ladies Sad

P.s, us Scots all voted remain, we are a very friendly bunch, come up and join us. We are about to fix this mess shortly (fx)

Mooseville · 24/06/2016 10:10

nicky that's so sad that you feel unwelcome. it really shouldn't be like that.
Uuurgh what a horrible day.

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 09:48

Moose i havebeen living here for 6 years and in the last year i felt very unwelcome so we have a thought of leaving all together now
We will only buy if there is a reduction in price so its all possible at the moment
Very stressed so i think it will have an impact on dtd and ttc as well :p

Mooseville · 24/06/2016 09:26

I just don't understand how this has happened. I barely know anyone who voted leave! Horrible day...

nicky I'm with you. We were meant to be buying in a month or two. We're UK citizens but it's so worrying that they say house prices may drop by 20% in the next two years, meaning we'd lose money? Plus who wants to live in a bigoted society like this one has become???

SuchaJem · 24/06/2016 08:42

What the hell has just happened? I feel sick, scared and angry. Utterly ashamed of this country today SadSadSad
