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 - my CM was all over the place this cycle...wait...that sounds wrong. I mean it was creamy, then clear, then creamy (tempted to try preseed next cycle to be honest). I had a positive OPK on CD13 and had ovulation pain CD14-15 so I recon ovulation day was late CD14? Yeah, not sure about crazy early cycle temps but I'm going to disregard them as I think I could have screwed it up. Thanks for looking at my chart though, will wait and see what my temp is like tomorrow.

Kwick - what's you skybox doing? We've had huge issues with ours recently since they updated the interface. We always just switch it off at the mains and back on again but you have to wait an age for the bloody thing to reboot.

Huge congrats mooseStarStarStar! How exciting!

Sorry to all those that AF has got Flowers

Flappergirl86 · 24/09/2016 14:25

Congratulations Moose!! I'd wait and tell him face to face if it was me, assuming he'll be as happy as you about it! xx

Flowers binky and EJ really sorry for you.

Nicky883 · 24/09/2016 13:31

Haha that is definately sod's law right there moose !

Mooseville · 24/09/2016 12:46

Oh just thought, another thing I did was spend a fortune in a girls holiday to Dubai in January on Thursday..... Thinking sod it, it won't happen by then...
That's going to be interesting being the only sober one!

Mooseville · 24/09/2016 12:40

Sorry for slow reply, typically I'm at work. Obviously cannot concentrate at all now, but at least I'm getting paid double time for day dreaming about BFP's!

I think this is cycle 11. Came off pill at start of Jan but have had a couple of ridiculously short cycles.

I still don't believe it. I'm sure it's a dodgy test!

DP knows. I couldn't bear knowing and him not so even though telling over the phone is rubbish, I did that. He seems excited although obviously the first thing he must have googled was "how reliable are pregnancy tests" as he sent me the link to say it must be true! Lol

The only thing we did differently was manage to get more jizz up there immediately after positive opk and after. Previously this was the time when DP failed to finish, and we did still have one time like that but obviously the two shots did the trick...

I still feel as though AF is imminent so I'm not getting too excited until that bitch really doesn't arrive????

kwick · 24/09/2016 11:49

Skybox connected but not fully operational as to be expected AngryAngryAngry I am leaving it alone for a few hours... Hope it will be working properly by the time I get home.

kwick · 24/09/2016 11:47

OMG moose I missed your post!!!! Congratulations!!!! StarStarStar this is the best news!

Sorry ej and binky Flowers

Congratulations Moose!! GrinFlowersCake

Sorry to everyone who's feeling down, you are all amazing and wonderful! WineChocolateFlowers

AlexiaB · 24/09/2016 09:39

sk1pper I'm no expert but I think you have dotted crosshairs because of the open circle temperatures on 'O' day and at 3dpo (which are key temps), and because you inputted creamy cm on cd13. I think it's more likely that cd14 is ovulation day. It's not unusual to see a fallback temp early in the tww, I think it's called a secondary estrogen surge or something. I wouldn't worry as an isolated temp doesn't reveal much, it's the overall pattern of the temps. I would be expecting to see your next few temps rise well above 36.80 to be sure of ovulation. Sometimes I discard some pre-O temps if they're unusually high to make my chart look better lol, so you could discard cd5+7 if you want to (keep a note though). Do you typically get fertile cm after ovulation? That could be another reason for the dotted crosshairs as that's slightly unusual. If you saw a positive opk though I'd be confident you have O'd you'll just know more with the next few temps. My advice is to keep BD'ing EOD just in caseSmile

marmitecheesetoast · 24/09/2016 08:53

Fantastic news congratulations Moose!! FlowersStar That's exactly what happened with me - unexpected shadow on an IC promoting me to cash in a FRER. I didn't have any boob pain for first few weeks either (don't worry it'll soon catch you up!) when is OH back tomorrow? Have you decided what to do? Is there anyway he can come home early? Maybe you could tell him you have some exciting news for him and he'll come home?! So pleased for you!

Still keeping an eye on you all waiting to celebrate more BFPs StarStar

WineChocolateCakeFlowers to all you lovely ladies

sk1pper · 24/09/2016 08:51

Does anyone know if I should be worried about this temp drop? First cycle temping and I think it's meant to stay elevated. Possibly to early to draw any conclusions though.

Yayy another bfp !!! Congratulations moose !!!

sk1pper · 24/09/2016 08:38

Yay moose!!! Xx

AlexiaB · 24/09/2016 08:34

kwick it's said to lengthen the luteal phase (ovulation to AF bit) to give you a better shot at implantation. If you already have a 12+ day luteal phase you're fine. I haven't confirmed ovulation yet this month so it'll be some time before I know if it worked.

Si1ver · 24/09/2016 08:33

I'm so sorry EJ it will be your turn soon xx

Musicgrrl · 24/09/2016 08:32

Congratulations Moose that's such great news! Have you decided whether to tell DH today yet? Which cycle were you on?

Sorry Binky and EJ - that sucks

kwick · 24/09/2016 08:12

The temping malarkey sounds very complicated!

Sorry you are not well peaches - hope the s&d passes quick Flowers

pug get well soon Flowers

Oh alexia does vitamin B complex lengthen cycles? I have been taking for months and not noticed any change except after MC Confused

I am getting up the nerve to change over my sky box - I have had the nee sitting there for weeks - but whenever I touch something electronic it goes wrong....

EJ1986 · 24/09/2016 08:03

Congratulations!

I got a BFN this morning. Feeling really down. There is a conspiracy among all my female friends that they will stagger pregnancies so i have to cope with a birth a month throughout 2017 Sad
