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.

Flash I work in science and outreach

This bloody chest infection and back pain!

Bah Sad

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/03/2016 11:56

Ever I'm good! Enjoying week offspring nothing (literally nothing. Apart from reading books. It's not even hot and sunny :'( and dh is out at physio appts for 2 hrs a day as he hurt his arm. I am itching to get back in the gym though. I am so chilled that I am feeling like I would actually be disappointed if I was pregnant this month. Like I can hang on a few months. Get more stuff sorted out. Get my body sorted out and ready. Lost a few more kilos. Go and stay with friends. Eat cheese and drink wine. Stay up late. Work. Save money. Avoid a December baby (which we've all decided is not ideal but not a major issue).

.... Who's going to take bets that I'm upduffed this month?!? Haha!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 18/03/2016 12:22

Haha I really hope you are kat that would be amazeballs! And sod's law! Grin

Right, putting it to the crowd. I tried to beat the system. And did an opk. And it's properly positive. And now I'm really annoyed at myself because I'm crampy and hormonal. What to do? A conundrum!

Reckon it must have been an evap line as it appears Mrs Arseholey Fucknuts has arrived. Haven't been able to poas as my Amazon order only arrives today, I'll do it tomorrow morning, but I think it will be a bfn.

On top of that, just looked on fb and ive been fucking baby bombed again. Just shove in my face how useless my body is at making a baby.
Fed up with this now.

(This is nothing against those who got their bfp on this thread, I am genuinely happy for you guys).

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 12:26

Kat you really cheered me up with that post Smile Maybe I should do that! Make lots of plans independent of TTC. I should start running again and drop some at least 5 kilos. Get busy with projects, enjoy spring and save up.
Grin

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 12:28

Pug that sucks big time!!!!!
Starky I don't know! Your cycles are so different to mine that not sure where you are. Actually I dont know where I am this month, apart from being sick

StarkyTheDirewolf · 18/03/2016 12:40

ever I'm cd 32. Af could come between 33-42. The opk has thrown me. Will see how I feel maybe tomorrow morning. I think I'm actually most scared of getting a positive and then waiting for af! Like it's tempting fate or something!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 18/03/2016 12:45

Awww sorry af got you pug 🍰💐🍷

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 12:47

Oh my! Starky so you could test tomorrow? If AF due then?
Nap for me now. Sad

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/03/2016 13:43

Stark your cycles confuse the hell outta me.... So are you ovulating or maybe pregnant?? I have no idea. And I'm sure you don't either.

I'm feeling quite liberated not having done a single OPK this month. I'm not going to test either until AF doesn't turn up for a few days after expected. Balls to keep peeing on things. Ima get me a starky star!!! StarHalo

Sorry to those AF got... But I think in my newly chilled out mode that everyone should chill. I'm on cycle?? Can't remember is this 8 now? It doesn't matter. The docs won't do anything for over a year anyway. It's normal to take up to a year or so. If I spend ages worrying and not living I'll lose a year of my life I could have been enjoying (damn right it's all going to change with a baby.) I'm young, for not too much longer either! So I am in chill mode until the Autumn. (Where's that sunglasses smiley!! Wine)

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/03/2016 13:44

(I also apologise if my chilled out frame of mind is annoying for anyone who is stressed)

HepKestrel · 18/03/2016 13:51

sorry pug Flowers

StarkyTheDirewolf · 18/03/2016 14:32

Lol kat I am LOVING your chilled out mentality! It's making me chill a bit! I've not done any all month (opks) except to test dh's nose on cd 17.which was a positive. So either I'm having another surge of lh and am in for a super long cycle. Or I'm having a pre af lh surge. Or the other thing, which I shan't mention in case of jinxing!

SuchaJem · 18/03/2016 14:33

kat I love your chilled out attitude and find it inspiring. Life is short - we need to relax and enjoy the time we have. I really hope though that your relaxed approach brings you a bfp, that said.

starky that's quite exciting. Do you think you'll test then?

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/03/2016 14:38

Lol jem I really think I would be pissed off if I got one this month. Next month... Month after maybe... We've dtd twice so far this week, I just went into ovia and I'm CD 13 so who knows. We weren't supposed to be managing it this week due to being away. I might remind DH that if I am pg this month then we'll have a baby at Christmas which would bigger up plans of going away for Christmas entirely. (We were home last year so should be away this year).

StarkyTheDirewolf · 18/03/2016 14:51

I think I might test tomorrow morning jem maybe. I'm scared if the jinxing. But the opk...Hmmm. We shall see. I'm all over the shop with hormones. Just thinking about it makes me feel squiffy and weird!

kat Im really hoping you get a determined Doreen! That would be amazeballs!

OP posts:
Flashinthepan · 18/03/2016 15:01

Lol starky Determined Doreen makes me think of a children's cartoon character! Probably not particularly appropriate given the context.

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 15:45

Kat I think it is great Smile I am going yo try a bit of that. I still will try quite hard to get dtd at right time because my 35th is approaching really fast but I will also enjoy life until BFP happens whenever.
I had been postponing looking for another job but with more cuts it seems that the government and my employer thinks saving money is better that providing a scientific path for the young generations to come. Which is great when you are TTC a new generation Sad. Which means that my job is at risk anyway.
So maybe I start looking now. With my luck I will get upduffed as I start a new job and lose maternity pay and that Hmm
But if it doesnt happen for another year??

HepKestrel · 18/03/2016 15:54

Ever for various reasons I will probably be job hunting next year. One of the reasons we started ttc in october, is it was when OH cleared his debts and is secure in his new job. So if i put my job at risk by getting pg, we have some security.

My job is also affected by government funding cuts on science. (flat cash my arse)

(vet still hasn't called me back Confused)

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 16:46

Hep still waiting for call? Is your cat there with you?

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 16:46

Yes maybe I should start looking after all...

SuchaJem · 18/03/2016 16:53

really sorry it wasn't to be this cycle pug, I hope you are okay. Crap timing on the baby bomb too :( Take care of yourself this weekend, be kind to yourself.

Evergreen15 · 18/03/2016 17:53
