'Is Foundation Feminist?' Who gives a shiny shit? On this 'ere March bus we want career-destroying babies!

[PurdeyPie]

So you're a hedge-fund manager who wears Reiss suits and Clarks shoes but the allure of nappies and nannies is growing stronger? Yep. You're on the right buzz. We're heading straight for Knocked-Upsville and we've got an on-board telly for watching OBEM and slagging off the scrotes who go to th'ospickal clutching a Lidl carrier bag. Come and join us. Don't be coy. Don't forget yer lube and soy.

evening lovelies, hope y'all are ok (and if you're not please let us know so we can try to cheer you up). I've not had the chance to read back the end of last thread properly (mainly due to introducing my dp to watching lost) but it's solid smiley day in the butterchunks household . Is it weird to say I'll be thinking about you all later tonight? .

Spinning I am hoping to dtd tonight and tomorrow and I'm hoping BIL doesn't come to stay on Friday because the timing is wrong and tbh this is getting tiring and stressful enough as it is. This is the only cycle where I've had a lot of ewcm so I'd like to make the most of it

Love your new additions to the list, Purdey!

MrsB, I almost wept at that. But I didn't coz i iz well 'ard, innit.

Do people actually Go Out And Not Drink, then? Is that an actual thing?

Ladies... How long do you usually get EWCM for? I've been on the AC for about a week and a half and yesterday I had what I thought was EWCM overnight, but it dried up the same morning. Haven't had it again, but have had a few 'pinching' sensations today. I'm wondering if I'm ovulating (bearing in mind that I thought this about 4 weeks ago- just checked MyDays app and got a positive OPK, but had no AF two weeks ago, so kind of discounted it really...)

Having done my research on taking AC for lack of AF, a lot of people seem to have a period around 3 weeks after starting it, so if I started it last Sunday and if I'm ovulating now, these dates should tie in with possibly expecting AF in a couple of weeks shouldn't they?!

I don't think we'll be DTD though. I'm just going to wait and see if I get AF. (Weird parallel universe type of 2WW!) Last month when I though I may have ovulated, I jumped DH and we DTD and nothing happened, either in the form of BFP or AF, so I'd rather just be waiting on the latter and not raising my hopes for anything else but that.

So back to my initial question: I only got EWCM overnight and woke up with it yesterday morning. It had gone by mid-morning (the next time I went to the loo). Is it usual to have it for only a short amount of time, or should I be rushing to Asda to buy cherry flavoured cough medicine?

Congratulations allatonce!!

So I have really strong af type cramps so it's not looking hopeful for me. I'm only 7/9 dpo too so it's not fair X

Err Eskimo.... I never get ewcm, so no advice to offer I'm afraid. X

Congrats allatonce and thanks for sharing your story

sammy chin up it's early days still!

eskimo maybe 3 days for me?! Though whether it's ewcm or just cm I'm not sure!

Evening you lovely ladies hope you are all well sending

I am going to catch up now running a gorgeous bah and sipping my other bottle of prosecco while I can

Gorgeous Purdey a question...My OPKS said I OV on CD 17/18 I think AF arrived on CD28, do you think I OV at this time? Also is it 2 weeks from OV that AF is due??? Is this where the TWW comes from

Thank you sweets

Wotsits, you are so damned funny. F.E.C.K. Just brilliant. Biology was ridiculously pointless; who needs to prod turgid prunes to learn about osmosis? When did we ever need to know that shit? Why didn't they just tell us that stretchy snot in your knickers means only let the boys finger us and not put their willies up?

Oh, and I got my GCEs (O levels) 28 years ago

Welcome, Gloopy! Where is Butterchunks? I liked 'er. I'm also worried about Autumn. I want to PM her but don't know if that's intrusive. What do you all think?

Allatonce, congratulations! I'm going to make a wild guess that seeds and pineapple juice had nowt to do with your success; it was down to your rampant rumpy-pumpy. Well done, old girl, and thanks for coming to share your story

Babs, love, you poor bunny. It's so rotten

Dizzy, yes you can have sex when your inlaws descend upon your house. It's your gaff. Just do it Don't be sad about your reflexology session. Simply throw forty quid down the drain and go and walk on a carpet of lego

Please, everyone, stop telling me to piss on a stick. It is night time here in Chorley. I have been glugging energy drink all day and have a vague notion of lower backache. I also quite fancy stabbing someone just to see if it feels as good as I remember

Congratulations allatonce!

Hi everyone, had a few days out and missed half a bus and a bit. Found you all now. Hope you're all ok. Who got BFPs? Sorry for any AFs.

Missed you all

Awww eskimo don't be silly. I like to try and be sparkly! (Although I def don't feel it!! Ha)

babs so sorry about AF. April! It's all about April!! Cd 1 from full flow so yep today!

nomio "charting brigade" ha ha. Love it!!! dojo get that bbt stat!! Ear thermometer? Really? ... REALLY?!

wotsits I got an A in biology! How can I help?! Ha. Re-pro-duction.. Reproductionnnnn! Love it!!

allatonce congrats!! Great news! Today you surely are preggers!! I'm on cycle 7.. Hope it's lucky for me too. It is actually my lucky number so I'm going with it

Argh. Crossed posts

Eskimo, ewcm may only be visible on paper/knickers for a short time but it will be smothering your innards for longer. How much longer? No idea. Robutussin is the magic ingredient in cough medicine that gives you ewcm. It really does work, however no other cough mixture will do. Robitussin. Tattoo it on your head.

Cymon, if AF arrived on CD28 it means you had a 27-day cycle. If you did indeed ovulate on CD17/18 you had only a nine- or a ten-day luteal phase. This is classed as a luteal phase defect as it is too short (probably) to sustain a pregnancy. You'll only know for definite how long your luteal phase is from charting your temps. In some quarters any LP shorter than 12 days is classed as being defective, however, it is important to remember that women can and do go on to have healthy babies with shorter ones.

Purdita I go out and not drink.. It's a thing. For me- And only me... I think..

Get those pants Buttered Buttery!

• Don't tattoo 'robutussin', tattoo 'robitussin' instead. Coz tattoos are for life, not just for TTC, innit.

mummy how are you?

Autumn we are thinking of you

Sparkly, but how do you manage to indiscriminately lob your tits out when you're sober? How do you summon the nerve to have sex in a pub bog? How do you warble on a karaoke for seventeen minutes straight singing Meatloaf shite? Don't you miss throwing up in a taxi and running off without paying? What about fighting in the street? I could only throw a proper punch after seven pints of strong cider and half a litre of neat vodka stashed in my accommodating handbag

Just got BFN on a FRER

Congratulations Allatonce99

Purdey you may be right about the reflexology but I just feel I should be doing something. I tend to go anywhere there is a ray of hope akin to a stray dog should just concentrate on dtd eod like I say I will every cycle

No Pinning!!!!!!!! How many dpo are you again?

No comment Purdey

Oh no Pinning what was the other test? IC ?
