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!

Hey, I have been a long time lurker in the last thread so thought it is about time I joined in.

Ttc #1
Cycle 7
Cd30

Have had a totally reliable cycle until TTC. Normally around 30 days, but last two were 38 then 36. Possibly due to long haul travel. No sign of AF yet though other than boobs that feel a little bit like they are on fire! Will test at the weekend if nothing happens.

Hep can you put me down for 11 Nov please? But of guess work but nice to have something to work towards!

No idea of ovulation (if I did) and no signs of AF. Testing Saturday if still no sign. Not getting any hopes up. Hmm

Thanks for the new thread.

Hi girls Brew
I'm Jem, I'm 32
TTC 1
Cycle 11

DH has low morphology so we are up testing alley trying to work out what's going on. I'm in the GP waiting room as I type!

Good luck Nicky getting his SA done, I know exactly what you mean about it being easier if the problem is with us. DH really needs to give up alcohol and coffee - possibly his two favourite things - I had to remind him daily for over a week to buy proxeed and despite being referred for a second SA about two weeks ago he still hasn't taken the sample in 🙄

Welcome newbies, fx for lots of BFPs on this thread.

Hep
cycle 1? after ERPC in september, still waiting first post-mc AF.
37 Sad
main focus at present is to get fit !! week2 of c25k, so I'll be nice and healthy for ttc once first AF comes. When AF arrives (guessing 1st Nov, purely based on sods law) will go back to opk and pma.

Am also keeper of the stats !! so let me know when your AF is due and i'll add you to the list !!!

Cycle 10 (!) since February
cd25

I am feeling the usual pre AF cramps so i am waiting for AF to show up either tomorrow or on Saturday.
Booked a SA for DH on Tuesday following Jem's example instead of waiting for him to book :). Although he is so nervous about it i am not even sure he ll be able to go through it ! Tbh if there is anything wrong with us i would rather its me that has the problem as i think i ll be more proactive about it
I also have a GP appointment next week . Skipper any advice on how to make them take me seriously ? I ll be on cycle 11 then but i will tell them we are trying for a year!
