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 like it when the grads stick around too. No question is too daft. We have opk experts, temp experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

Don't get too excited about clomid sk1p - hasn't worked for me :(

sk1pper · 14/11/2016 09:03

Alexia - I don't believe it Grin, I need to get me some clomid. Well done lovely lady! Xx

Music - don't freak out just yet, remember it's the overall pattern your looking for. Try not to scrutinise every temp this early on - I know it's easier to say than do but hang in there!! Xx

Hello miw
Thanks Mabel
Hope you are both doing well.

My period was weird. No cramps at all - and usually get severe cramps on day one. And it stopped completely yesterday. Absolutely nothing. So I bled for two days with no cramps. I don't think I'm pregnant - no other signs at all - but I'm worried about having a period that short Sad

Londonjam · 14/11/2016 08:40

Omg alexia! That's amazing!!! That's a definite line so I'm going to add my congratulations! And feeling sick - so exciting SmileFlowersStarHalo

Musicgrrl · 14/11/2016 08:32

skipper my temps do go up and down a bit between AF and O usually but this is a bit on the high side. If it goes back down again tomorrow then I think it could be within normal range. Will have to wait and see I guess. It seems highly unlikely that I would O that early. I've not done anything different this cycle.

AlexiaB · 14/11/2016 08:18

I think so Gee Shock Even though it's nearly sent me insane with my chart. I need to back it up with it a better test though!

Music I'm sure it's this cycle. I did get an almost positive OPK on Saturday 5th Nov so this line would make sense if that was true?

Omg alexia. Has the clomid only gone and bloody worked for you?!!!! Congratulations!

Musicgrrl · 14/11/2016 08:08

Alexia!!!!!!! So excited for you Smile Which cycle could you have conceived?!

AlexiaB · 14/11/2016 08:06

Thank you girls so much for everything yesterday when I had a meltdown and today Flowers I'm in tears. How? I only tested because I've felt so sick and my temp went back up today. I got an almost positive OPK last Saturday. I just don't believe it. Getting DH to get more tests!

MusicFlowers I hope you haven't missed O xx

I would say that's a line! Congratulations.

Still lurking here and LSFX for you all.

Hep congrats on AF (feels a bit weird to be saying that but needs must)

Kwick hope all goes well for next collection and round.

Jem You will get there. Stay strong. Sorry it hasn't happened for you yet.

HepKestrel · 14/11/2016 08:01

Music - do you temps alwAys stay low dieting AF? Mine do tend to shoot up and down a bit before O.

miwelaisjacydo · 14/11/2016 07:37

Hi all how are we? I haven't been on here but have been reading. It's been hectic in RL so needed to chill a bit.

Take time out Alexia X

Harriet haven't told anybody in RL that we are TTC. To be honest I don't like the thought of people judging me because we are not pregnant yet.

TTC is an absolute bastard.

Musicgrrl · 14/11/2016 07:25

FX Starmist!

Jem/Jam(!) great work on the Wine and PMA

My body is playing cruel tricks on me this cycle. AF finished on CD7, on CD9 (yesterday) I got a temp jump. Disregarded it but it's still up today. If it stays high I will get cross hairs tomorrow. We haven't dtd once this cycle and I wasn't using OPKs. I normally don't O until CD19. I'm not ill as far as I know. What is going on???

Musicgrrl · 14/11/2016 07:20

Alexia so so sorry that it ended up not being O this time. Totally get where you're coming from about needing a break from thinking about it all but please don't think you're bringing the thread down - we're here to support each other. No-one needs to put on a facade here about how they're feeling - we have enough of real life for that! We'll miss you but take as long as you need Flowers

harrietm87 · 13/11/2016 23:46

hi all and hope weekend was good! Sorry alexia - fx for next month - maybe relaxing and not temping is worth a try?

I have a question for you all - have you told your families you are ttc? I'm close to my mum but we don't usually talk about this kind of thing and I haven't told her we'd like a baby next year. She has never mentioned that she wants grandchildren though she must do.

Weirdly even though I'm almost 30 and married I feel like my family would disapprove if i got pregnant - prob the result of my convent school education - ha!

Sending you a hug Alexia FlowersFlowersFlowers look after yourself xx

Blue I'm due tomorrow. Trying not to symptom spot or get my hopes up though.

sk1pper · 13/11/2016 18:42

Alexia - okay well take some time out if you need it, and well see you again soon. I hope you are just going to ovulate late and it surprises you. :) take care

Londonjam · 13/11/2016 18:13

Massive hug from me alexia take as long as you need. FlowersFlowersFlowers

Having a lovely glass of Wine this evening and not feeling too bad about all this. It'll happen when it happens.

geeup · 13/11/2016 17:56

Sorry you're down alexia. Don't worry about bringing the thread down - that's what we're for - but feel free to take a break and try and think about something else for a bit Flowers
