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.

Congratulations canters - what great news!

Jamjar12 · 13/03/2016 13:09

....And suddenly vitamin C tablets are out of stock everywhere as mum'snetters rush to the shops.... Haha!

The urge to POAS is so strong right now but at only 8dpo, it's pretty pointless. DH is away for a few days next week and it's going to fall on the day AF is due. So I'm either going to be sticking my head in a B&J tub with wine and watching Netflix alone or climbing the walls waiting for him to come home so I can test...

Confusedcat1 · 13/03/2016 13:16

I'm 5dpo. I couldn't feel less pregnant if I tried. Also my crazy boob pain that I have every cycle between ov and af isn't there either! So I don't even have that to give me hope.

Where is my gin?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 13/03/2016 13:43

I think I'm somewhere between 8-10 dpo. Just feeling like af will show up next week tbh. No real hope for this cycle now. That sounds all defeatist! Just checked ovia and I'm cd 27.

cat I'm the same, usually by now I've got crazy painful boobs, but they're just slightly tender if I poke them! Have got my usual back spots though blergh

Going to go get in the bath, wash my hair and have a chill for a bit!

Kwick709 · 13/03/2016 13:55

canters I too have been having loads of vit c each day! I thought you name was to do with horses... Confused I imagine you as being an able horse rider :)

vixarooni · 13/03/2016 14:24

I don't live there now either canters but I'm only 20 mins away in a village! I tend to avoid it now because of the traffic. That sounds terribly old I know!

I don't think I have vit c, but I work in a pharmacy of sorts so i'll have to take a few out while I'm at work!

Canters15 · 13/03/2016 15:00

Kwick- I am also an able horse riding type, so you're not far wrong!

Vix- yes it is one perpetual traffic jam isn't it? There's a really lovely Moroccan restaurant there though, which was my favourite....

Jam- do not po that stick! I got a bfn at 9dpo which made me unreasonably sad and then I drank wine. Bad.

I would like to remind the symptoms spotters I had no symptoms this month and do not feel preg at all! Turns out symptoms mean diddly and those pissy sticks don't lie....

HepKestrel · 13/03/2016 16:03

Congratulations canters!

RaeSkywalker · 13/03/2016 17:01

Congratulations canters! Lovely news. I went to uni there and I do really miss it. Know what you mean about the traffic though!

I'm really fed up! Now 8 days late. Boobs have been sore for the last 2 days, which is unusual (but not unheard of) for me. Just want AF to turn up now. I have no idea where my nice predictable 29 day cycles have gone Sad

StarkyTheDirewolf · 13/03/2016 17:09

Have you done any more tests rae ? I've got my fx it's a bean and not af playing games with you. But I can sympathise with the long cycle irritation. Especially if you're not expecting it. Flowers

OP posts:
RaeSkywalker · 13/03/2016 17:28

Starky I took another on Wednesday night after work (Tesco own brand). BFN- wee was quite diluted but surely it would register as a positive by then if I was harbouring a bean? I was sure that AF would turn up yesterday, genuinely baffled by what's going on!

Feefeefs · 13/03/2016 18:52

Thanks elle.

Wooo canters!! That makes me feel very positive!!!

I'm about to head into ISW and going on holidays Smile got a high flashy smilie on clear blue ovulation test today which is high but not peak fertilitySmile

Kwick709 · 13/03/2016 19:14

rae I do not want to mess with your mind but you really should use FMU for testing. Maybe if no af in a couple more days test with FMU and a FRER?

RaeSkywalker · 13/03/2016 19:23

Thanks Kwick. I did use FMU on Saturday last week which was when AF was due but haven't since. I do think AF is on her way so I think I'll wait another day to see if anything happens- if not I'll buy a FRER after work tomorrow and test with FMU on Tuesday morning. It's getting me down a bit now, I'm worried about why my cycles have suddenly become so much longer.
