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!

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. We have a register thanks to kats stats I am resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star

When you post stats, add your predicted test/af date. We are currently running at about 49% pregnant with the grads thread over in ante-natal which we all hope to join soon.

Exactly 5 days upduffed today, upduffed on cycle 3
Still hanging around here cos these are some lovely ladies and I want some more bfps friends!

starky the description for this thread is the best yet ... Baby dust and unicorn farts Grin

hep I am going to try and limit myself to once a week, but I would much rather POAS every day! Hmm

ni
That's tough with your mum Sad if you have all week together there may be other opportunities for your Gilmore girls moment? Maybe after not seeing each other for ages you just need a couple of days to open up, whereas she needed to get stuff off her chest straightaway? Either way, not easy for you. The mum-daughter relationship can be so complex Flowers

RaeSkywalker · 08/03/2016 00:34

Rae, 28. Ttc #1 (obviously).
Cycle 1.
AF was due on the 5th (Saturday) and hasn't arrived yet, have had 3 BFNs (tested Friday, Saturday and Monday) so I think my cycle is just messed up this month.

Hoping to see lots more of us on the grads list soon!

Holly300 · 08/03/2016 01:11

Holly, 31
Currently upduffed with a 4 week poppy seed. Feeling scared if I'm honest and just hoping it sticks. Nipples are on fire.

Cycle 4
Currently ignoring the fact I'm in the 2ww in the hope it goes quicker.

Dreamt last night that I went to a film premiere and was approached by Aidan Turner. We were flirting and all was going well until I stood up and we both realised I was like 9 months pregnant. He backed off quite quickly. Haha, a girl can dream that that would be the only possible reason Aidan Turner wouldn't fall madly in love with me.

Woke up to DH snoring in my face. He didn't appreciate my dream :(

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/03/2016 07:30

I have absolutely no idea who Adrian turner is.
I on the other hand dreamt about Justin Bieber last night. Weirdly, he often pops up in my dreams and i have absolutely no idea why. In RL I do not like Justin Bieber. I do not listen to his music or see him on TV. I am not a belieber. So why???? Dreams are weird.

Evergreen15 · 08/03/2016 08:14

Ladies I had an argument with OH this morning.
Same story, lack of interest in dtd
I actually woke him up to jump his bones and half way through the deal I gave up.
Mad since then. I then told him that I want him to tell me tonight if he is really on board with the baby thing or not. I said that if he is, we need to dtd every day this week possibly twice a day at the weekend Angry

I said I had enough of doing everything! No alcohol, vits, tempting, calendar, ovia, ENOUGH! all he has to do is f%%€% and he cant even do that??!!

I am also finding that our sex life sucks and I am bored Sad but I didnt tell him that. He is not confident and so traditional. I like other experiences but havent had any but normal bedtime sex since being with him.

Starting to reconsider things here.

No sex no baby.

And still hurts when dtd

Today sucks
