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.

Starky I am soooooo happy for you! Flowers What a nice first post to read this morning, so exciting!!!

twinkydink · 19/03/2016 10:53

But who is going to come up with the thread titles now?!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 19/03/2016 10:58

Well I won't be leaving just yet! I'm stopping with you guys for a while longer, if thats ok! It's not sunk in yet and I'm still half convinced af will arrive this week and be like "Ahaaaaa fooled ya!"

I'm the same Starky, AF is due today or tomorrow and I kept checking! I was thinking it was a shame I had so many unused ICs left but they've been brilliant to keep me sane each day. Desperate for DH to come home tomorrow to actually talk about it!

Still don't really have symptoms, tired but that's normal by this time in the week. My boobs are still tender but I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't on high alert. I really thought there'd be full on symptoms by the time AF was due! So I'd definitely say no symptoms doesn't necessarily mean BFN yet for people!

iPatches · 19/03/2016 11:24

Starky - I am absolutely delighted for you, congratulations!

I'm CD11ish (not entirely sure as had spotting before AF arrived 5 days late...). I have been trying to OPK but have been getting home from work late so haven't had the chance to test much before 8-9pm. I'm not working today so took one at 11am - the line is pretty dark but I'm not convinced it's as dark as the control line yet.

Do you usually get a "build up" before you get a positive OPK? I can't remember what I've seen in previous months.

SuchaJem · 19/03/2016 11:28

starky please stay! It won't feel right without you.

jam that's music to my ears right now. I'm 9dpo and not got very much to go on. I've been emotional this week but our landlord is kicking us out, I've got a big spot on my jaw which usually means AF coming. Not much to report from the boob department - slightly tender today but nothing to write home about. Pink Pad says AF due Tuesday, think she might be right.

ipatches I had darkening lines for two days. Was convinced it was positive for three days and insisted we DTD each time. DH thought I was crying mr wolf 🙄

iPatches · 19/03/2016 11:39

Hmm I'm thinking it's pretty darn close to being positive. My cycle is clearly all over the place.

Peaches8Posies · 19/03/2016 11:44

starky's dh and that nose!! Hahaha congratulations again. 🙌🙌 xx

Hope you ladies are all well, won't be long and you'll all be hoping over to the grads 😊 xx

Kwick709 · 19/03/2016 11:53

Wow starky your dh is amazeballs too! You are absolutely NOT allowed to leave the thread (but permission may be granted for you to move to grads thread as well).

Starky!!!!! Congrats!!!!! This is amazing news!!!!

kavanaughkj · 19/03/2016 12:16

Huge congrats Starky! What fabulous news ... and your hubby's nose is uncanny!! So happy for you. :) Star Star Star Star

ElleSarcasmo · 19/03/2016 13:52

Ooohh...I've been off for a few days (work crazy this week) and this happens!

Huge congratulations Jam and Starky!! So pleased for you!
Flowers Flowers Flowers and everything crossed for sticky beans!!

Jem not too much tww to go now! I felt nauseous today (cd25) so started feeling excited so took a test with non-FMU...bfn unsurprisingly! No star for me this month!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 19/03/2016 13:54

Thanks you guys! You're all so lovely! Shedding a tear here! 😊

But like jam said, I've had all my normal pre af stuff. No indication of anything else! If I hadn't done that opk I'd still be thinking of was 99% out! Still kind of do! It's the oddest feeling! No symptoms or even usual pms symptoms don't never mean you're out! You're not out till Flowdermort shows up!

That is how happy I am for you starky. But you'd better not flipping leave me! Haha!! Halo

KatOnATinRo0f · 19/03/2016 14:32

(I had a hundred of those stars but they didn't all come out :(... I won't try again and clog everyone's feed up with stars. But Starx100 for stark)

Snowdog37 · 19/03/2016 14:46

Ooh I had my very first glaringly clear positive opk!!!! I started using the clear blue digital on Thursday. Nada until very late last night when I got a flashy smily and today I got a solid smily! I'm so chuffed to bits as I never got a proper positive on the Ic's. So tonight and tomorrow the dh is on a dtd mission, hopefully with my tubes flushed it'll be a lucky month! Although my thyroid level might still be too high but at least I'm on meds. Have lost 4lbs since starting the meds a week ago! Only another 66 to go if I want my BMI to be 25. Ugh.
Anyhow I'm just so excited to have a peak opk and lots of ewcm. If dh wasn't working this weekend (sucky) I'd lock him in the bedroom 😁😄

Snowdog37 · 19/03/2016 14:47

STARKY omg!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!! You are upduffed!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you I nearly burst into tears!!!! 🎉💐🎉💐🎉💐💐💐🎉🎉

Pugmummy87 · 19/03/2016 14:48

Omg Starky I am soooo happy for you! Your DH has an amazing sense of smell!
I am crossing everything that it is a sticky bean and it is very normal to feel period like cramps in early pregnancy as everything is stretching. Please tell us how your DH reacted?

Kwick you must be next to test now?

Evergreen15 · 19/03/2016 15:00

Snow congrats on the positive Smile
Get on with ISW
I just spoke to 111 and my mum was right and I need to speak to a doctor Sad I feel so sick and the fever is back.
The health advisor asked me "are you pregnant or do you think you might be?" I said "Every 2ww I think I am"Confused

Feefeefs · 19/03/2016 16:54

Oh my god starky! So exciting! Sorry haven't manage to catch up fully! Wooo

Kwick709 · 19/03/2016 18:06

ever did you see a doctor? I hope you are feeling better Flowers

Confusedcat1 · 19/03/2016 18:38

Whoop whoop starky bloody awesome! Pmd u this morning in case you think I had a delayed response 😉 please don't leave me though!

I'm feeling a bit blue. Had Brown spotting at 9dpo, foolishly hoped it could be IB. Now at 11dpo I had a bit more. So I guess af is about to rock up. Feeling like Mrs Infertile Sad

Kwick709 · 19/03/2016 19:33

Just repeat after me confusedcat "I am fertile and healthy. I am very soon to get upduffed. I am in perfect time." Wink

HepKestrel · 19/03/2016 19:40

Flowers cat. It could still be IB
