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!

Woohoo carolann!!!!
Congratulations!!!

Flowers bluebird

HepKestrel · 11/07/2016 20:22

bluebird oh no! Was it definitely caused by the dog? The are non -allergy breeds so you needn't be puppyless!!

Congrats on the bfp carolann!

I've been away for a couple weeks so just catching up. After finding out I don't ovulate we are waiting for DH to get an appointment for a SA then we will wait for a referral for fertility clinic. It's been really nice having no pressure as I'm no longer bothering Ttc naturally. After 17 cycles I need a break. I've taken my mind off it by focusing on getting a puppy (something I've wanted for years). We viewed some yesterday and puta deposit down on a gorgeous mini schnauzer. Then this morning my DH woke up covered in rash. I'm devastated. Am I doomed to be babyless and puppy less forever? I just can't take all this disappointment. It's brought back all the grief of struggling to Ttc. Sorry to whinge I'm just so sad. SadSad

Carolann8584 · 11/07/2016 20:02

Yeah. Can believe it now, thanks for all the comments and congrats Smile xx

LovelyFishy · 11/07/2016 19:47

Congratulations Carolann! Does it seem more real now? SmileFlowers

Sorry about AF Moose but exciting with the flat! Enjoy all the Wine. I think you've gotta have a pretty good shot at those days, he won't know what hit him! Wink

Mooseville · 11/07/2016 19:28

Congrats carolann

Not for me this month, AF arrived a day early. At least it saved me getting my hopes up overnight! Feeling ok about it as getting flat valued tomorrow and in the middle of house hunting so got lots to keep me occupied.
Next month I'm away over intense sex week but home over the weekend on cd 12-14 when I usually ovulate so surely I've got to hit DTD on those days if he's not seen me all week???? We shall see!!!

Carolann8584 · 11/07/2016 18:38

Think this is definite....

Moose fx it's not AF!

Lovely I hope it's not AF but you have a lot to look forward to so that's positive.

It's very, very frustrating. One minute I'm thinking "no I'm definitely not pregnant because I would have a solid BFP by now". Then 10mins later I'm thinking "but a line is a line, there's no period and many people don't get BFPs until they're 2 weeks late! I could be one of those people!" Going to buy more Tesco tests so I can compare with FMU tomorrow.

LovelyFishy · 11/07/2016 15:28

Hep it's a tandem jump with an instructor, not DH and I together!

Alexia sounds like a bfp to me, I know it must seem frustrating as hell but it does sound good!

Cramps have just ramped up a notch so I suspect AF is on here way here too. I almost don't mind, means I can do the skydive and drink at best friends birthday this weekend and wedding the weekend after!

Mooseville · 11/07/2016 15:19

alexia that does sound promising! You can't get a false positive but you can get a false negative - so the fact there's been lines seems a good sign??? Must be so frustrating to get such varied results though?!

AF due tomorrow, no symptoms either way atm other than a huge grump at the weekend at DP for no reason! Lol although I do think back ache is creeping in, a sure sign she's on her way!

AlexiaB · 11/07/2016 15:17

Thanks Hep. We will brave it together. I'm actually so bad though I haven't been to a doctor in literally 7 years+. I can't even remember the last time. I'm not even registered and I moved almost a year agoBlushHmm

HepKestrel · 11/07/2016 14:49

Alexia that sounds promising!
a faint second line is still a bfp!!

(I second the hate going to doctors !!! will (virtually) brave it with you. me appt is on thursday).

AlexiaB · 11/07/2016 14:39

emalady - sorry!Grin

Lovely that's so soon! You're much braver than me but I'm sure it'll be an amazing experience.

Carolann congratulations! You should be fine with a CBD after the strong bfp line.

Hep really hope the Dr can tell you what's going on! Fx

Sorry if I've missed anyone. I took a little break because my head is completely fucked. I'm on cd44 and AF is no where to be seen. This is currently my longest ever cycle, 11 days late compared to last month but somewhere between 18-22dpo.

Friday's tests were a disaster - 2 clearblue (non digi) were negative although they did develop a faint line which seemed to get darker. Probably an evap, not sure. 1 tesco test was completely negative.
Saturday morning wasn't much better. Frer had a faint line but it hadn't progressed and I didn't trust it. Tesco was completely negative.
Sunday - didn't test.
Today - woke at 6.30, went for a pee and then went back to sleep. Woke after half 9. Temped and it was 36.38 which is still really elevated. Decided to test even though SMU was weak. Only had a Tesco test and a thin blue line came up immediately! It's my best line yet. It's definitely not the darkest line in the world and photographs terribly but why would it be there??? It's honestly so confusing!! I know I need to go to the Dr but I hate going! Sorry for the long post guys x

HepKestrel · 11/07/2016 14:05

carolann what Wingit said.

as you already have seen a second line, you should be fine with a clear blue.

different tests are sensitive do different amounts of the hcg hormone.

WingingIt83 · 11/07/2016 13:56

Frer is the most sensitive test but if you've already had a strong positive from a cheapy you'll probably be fine with clearblue

WingingIt83 · 11/07/2016 13:55

carolann frer is the make first response early result. It's in a pink box I think

Carolann8584 · 11/07/2016 13:54

Kwick sorry having a blonde moment (sorry if any blondes take offence to comment) I've got Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test kit with Conception Indicator - 2 Tests - Wrong ones??

SuchaJem · 11/07/2016 13:49

Omg so soon lovely! Fingers crossed for fair weather. Whereabouts are you doing it?

Thanks kav xx

Carolann8584 · 11/07/2016 13:42

Kwick - FRER? Confused

kwick · 11/07/2016 13:37

I actually looked at myself in full length mirror this morning whilst I was starkers and I STILL have bruising on my tummy from injections in March & April!!!

HepKestrel · 11/07/2016 13:35

ooh goodluck lovely ! you are a braver gal than me !!!
is it a tandem jump?

I'm sure I was a braver person in my past..... went paragliding once. that was ace.

kwick · 11/07/2016 13:32

carolann only a FRER will do please

LovelyFishy · 11/07/2016 13:02

Ema I did nip into the village this morning to get DH and I a special pastry treat breakfast (and get a pg test from Boots!) but they were shut as the pharmacist hadn't turned up! It's the only place that sells them without getting in the car which I wasn't going to do. I've ordered some off Amazon which will arrive tomorrow...

Hep kitties are darlings aren't they? I was woken up by tabby cat and his "furry bulldozer manouver" - jump on you, purr as loud as he can, and rub his face into yours being so cute you can't get angry at him for waking you up! It is me jumping out of a plane, it's on Thursday! Confused

Good luck with the bloods Kav! I've still got the bruise from mine! Shock

emalady · 11/07/2016 11:48

carolann norethistarone would not give you a bfp, that;s defo positive. Congrats.

hep hope you manage to get a full nights sleep for that fmu and good luck for a bfp rather than af being a bitch. Cats are such sweeties at times. Though recently ours have only woken us knocking things over not vomiting, not sure which is better.

kav they would probably be back sooner, probably worth calling the surgery at the end of the week as they should be back and might be nice to know before you head off.

Fishy hope your dodgy tum gets better soon, are you planning on testing anytie soon just in case or just going to wait and see?

Carolann8584 · 11/07/2016 11:41

Thanks, 20 minutes until my lunch break so I can go buy my ClearBlue, promised OH I would wait until I was home later to do it with him Smile I'll be an Halo and wait x
