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!

Alexia i am sure is hard but try to remain positive maybe occupy your mind until friday with a small project or somethingg like that !Did you ever had a bfp before ? If not enjoy it and try not to think the worst !

Carolann8584 · 06/07/2016 13:06

Thanks Kwick

I knew it stopped you having AF didn't know about the Ovulating, not too disappointed though only first try, well if I didn't ovulate then this cycle should be our first try Smile

Haha kwick Grin. Nice to meet you! So sorry to hear about your m/c (and yours live). Fx the next little beans are sticky ones!

I'm waiting for my FRERs to arrive from Amazon. I have one CBD in my drawer but I'm honestly too scared to use because I can't face seeing another 'negative'. I want to wait until Friday to give myself a better chance. Still no AF and I still feel very nauseous. I've also had very weird numbness in my hips and stretching pains since last night. I definitely don't feel normal but I'm petrified that witch AF is going to show up soon and ruin everything!

LovelyFishy · 06/07/2016 12:07

Teeheehee, like a vibrator. You do realise I'm going to look like a giggling fool when I have my scan done, right? Grin

kwick · 06/07/2016 12:01

Sorry my War & Peace novel loaded twice Envy

Blimey over 50 posts already!

Here are my stats:
Kwick
Age: 41 I only admit to 21 Grin
TTC #1
I did 6 failed IUIs, got BFP on first IVF but sadly had a MC at 8 weeks. Now awaiting 2nd AF post MC so can start second round of IVF
I am footloose and fancy free - but have some top notch magic potion in the FC's freezer.

suchajem Hope you are feeling better. Very confused as to why they did not scan your womble?

fishy my fanjo has had so many internal scans she is a pro now! Vibrator like instrument is inserted, normally with some KY jelly and then they move it around. Can be quite uncomfortable but way better than a smear test.

starky what is badum schhhh? Hmm

wing thanks for letting me know about new thread (great job starky you do realise you can NEVER leave?!). Glad you got lots if shags in.

Welcome live!! So sorry to hear about MC - it is awful right? I am very scarred too but you have to be in it to win it!

alice way to go on not putting life on hold!!! Do not get clomid off internet! There are loads of other things you can try!

Welcome jenny!! Good luck on 2ww!

I am so sad to hear some of our grads have had bad news... This is such a rollercoaster....

Such a lovely doggy snarky!

You are so funny hep.. A romantic point Smile you are so sweet!

alexia I am in suspenders here! Have fx for you and BFP (please use a FRER to test & let us know right away!!)

What a fcuker marmite - sorry about AF Flowers

Welcome carolann!! I have taken norethisterone as part of my IVF protocol. I will be taking again soon - it stops you from ovulating so I doubt you can get a BFP in the cycle you take it Hmm

LOL live!! My strategy was to announce to everyone I was off alcohol on an attempt to lose weight.

Oops sorry for epic post!!!

WingingIt83 · 06/07/2016 11:38

Symptom question here. How long after ovulation should you continue to see ewcm?
I got lh surge Monday morning. Tuesday morning temp had lept up half a degree and ewcm. I assumed therefore I'd ovulated overnight on Monday. No EWCM Tuesday night, but more present this morning?

nicky883 · 06/07/2016 11:04

Lovelyfishy we are also same age :p

nicky883 · 06/07/2016 10:56

Jenny yes lots of decorating needed current owners have flower wallpapers and red walls eveywhere (!) i am more of a minimalist and white /grey enthusiast ;p
Thought i ll do some feng shui while am at it since i am doing all the accupuncture and staff :p
Lovely i only had mid cycle spotting last month right after doing a smear test so i am not sure if its bleed from that or not had cramps and all . Dont have any spotting now but feel crampy . I never see crampy as a good sign as i always associate it with af :p

LovelyFishy · 06/07/2016 10:14

That article did make me giggle Jenny!

Nicky we're cycle buddies! I'm also cd 22 with near-always 28 day cycles. I've got some light general crampy type feeling, but I'm sure I've had this before and it's been nothing! Swaying between yay and nay is mentally exhausting. I spotted for the first time a few cycles back, got my hopes up waaaaay to high. The AF after that did cause me to cry a little bit. But it's a legitimate sign which is what makes it all even more annoying!!

Jennyfer08 · 06/07/2016 08:40

jem I am also at that stage and having really weird cramps so obviously I'm now convinced, but I've been swaying between definitely not and definitely am so will see where the rest of the day takes me Grin

nicky that's very exciting - any decorating to be done? I have found interior design has been taking my mind off ttc!

nicky883 · 06/07/2016 08:25

Jenny is funny** and but also hotrible :( i really hate the 2ww such an emotional rollecoaster
Cd 22 here and feeling crunply like af is coming !
Last cycle i spotted from cd 23 until cd 25 brown spotting then af came at cd28 as usual ! Never had spotting before period before! what has happened to my very regular and normal cycle ? I blame stress !

On other news we are geting the keys to iur first house on friday so at least thats something good ;p

SuchaJem · 06/07/2016 08:22

Oh sorry I thought I might have spectacularly missed something - sorry you are waiting so long , hope you get clarity soon either way.

Jenny that link is soooooo true! I am in the bit where I had a mentally intense dream last night and am quite windy - so defo preggo at the min Hmm

Jennyfer08 · 06/07/2016 08:12

This is my fave article about the 2ww... Made me laugh www.babble.com/pregnancy/the-8-stages-of-the-two-week-wait/

LovelyFishy · 06/07/2016 07:40

Does anyone else find with the tww they can be relatively normal for the first week and extra crazy for the second? >.

HepKestrel · 06/07/2016 06:24

Jem No, I haven't had a bfp !
last test was cd44 bfn. but i figure at this stage I can't drink booze.

In order to reduce my stress, and "just in case" i am not drinking and have reduced caffeine also.

WingingIt83 · 05/07/2016 22:38

Welcome all new posters, I hope this is a lucky thread :-)

jem put me down for 25th July

LovelyFishy · 05/07/2016 22:30

Teehee, love that story Live!

Welcome Carolann!

Snarky that is such a cute puppy! I'm normally a cat person but I'd take him home!

Alexia I think I see a second line too. Fx for testing tomorrow!

SuchaJem · 05/07/2016 22:28

Hep have had a bfp???? Feel like I've missed something! Or are you cutting down for ttc reasons? I've been trying to do that and not finding it the easiest!

liveforthefight · 05/07/2016 22:14

Hep when I found out I was pregnant before m/c we were out for dinner with my friends, I kept pretending to sip from my wine and was pretty sure I was getting away with it when there was a power cut in the restaurant and as an apology the manager gave everyone a glass of champagne! I genuinely had to do the "God what's that outside the window?" trick whilst DP downed my glass!

HepKestrel · 05/07/2016 21:00

Arrgh!

Just had my first "Why aren't you drinking? Are you pregnant?" question !

made my excuses about trying to get my anxiety levels down by giving up booze and cutting down caffeine......

... well, its not strictly a lie? Blush

don't know if i got away with it.

Jennyfer08 · 05/07/2016 16:32

snarky that puppy!!! Absolutely gorgeous! Very jealous!

I definitely see a line alexia fingers crossed!

Carolann8584 · 05/07/2016 16:09

Norethisterone can be taken to delay your AF, went on Family holiday which included going to a waterpark , didn't want AF getting in the way. it was the first time I have taken it, never again, had all AF symptoms while away then had the monster of all AFs when I stopped taking them. I have heard stories of it messing with your cycle but nothing specific.

HepKestrel · 05/07/2016 15:50

Hello Carolann !
Can't help you with Norethisterone questions .... never even heard of it !!!

sorry about AF marmite enjoy the wine (on my behalf as well Wink). She's a bitch how she teased you this month!
