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.

Fishy - you won't know for sure until Tuesday at the earliest. Despite what others including myself say, Starky is right about waiting to test. Bus tickets are funny refundable Grin

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 13:19

Hi lovelyfishy, what test are you using? I'm 15dpo now and even though my Superdrug FRER and digital Clear Blue have come up with a strong positive since 11dpo, the ICs are barely even registering it still.

I don't want to raise your hopes up but I also don't want you to give up yet, it is still early as some of our BFPers have only shown quite late!

InspectorPenguin · 20/03/2016 13:20

Congratulations Starky! would love to hear how your DH reacted!

Ever, hope you're feeling better soon. Sounds like you have a rotten virus, make sure you get lots of rest and have plenty to drink.

Good luck to everyone else testing soon. Wish I could join you but my body is steadfastly refusing to do anything since coming off the pill. CD 35 and no sign of ovulation or AF so far :(

But at least the sun is shining!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/03/2016 14:13

fishy honesty and 100% don't believe the tests, especially ic's! I was sure I was waiting on af. Had all my usual pre-af symptoms on the exact same time line as normal. Ic's are not to be trusted. Did two tests and an ic this morning. Same as jam stong bfp on the normal tests. Ic's do t even barely register anything. A squinter at most! still expecting af to show up

inspector I'm going to do a blog on it which should be up tomorrow! Hopefully get one up tonight and one up tomorrow! I've not been able to sit still properly lol Grin

What pre-AF symptoms did you have starky?

I've just been crying down the phone to my DH about how sad I am it hasn't happened this month, I'm so sure AF is coming. My temperature is fluctuating, I've got sore tits, I can't stop crying, I had insomnia last night, I've got lower abdominal cramps, lower backache - just all the classics :(

Lyssie · 20/03/2016 15:16

Omg!!! Starky!!!! This is the best news ever!!!!!!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/03/2016 15:20

Sore boobs, tender nips. I had my usual two back spots. Crampy. Loads of cm making me think af had arrived every 5 minutes. Funny sleeping patterns. Gentle hysteria/the weeps. My usual, standard, normal pms stuff! And twingey tummy like I'd pulled a muscle in my ovaries area.

Only thing that I'd noticed earlier in the week was I could smell/taste everything much more strongly than normal. But I put that down to me getting shut of a cold I've had the last few months! Yesterday and today I've had slight heartburn but nothing serious.

But I'm genuinely still not believing it, I'm can't start to believe it yet. Just in case. I've got a huge irrational fear of it going wrong and and af arriving this week! I can't do the life of me shake it!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 15:27

jem chin up, I know how it feels. I thought I was out but af still isn't properly here just a tiny bit of brown blood?????

starky trust me, me of all people knows how it is but worrying about it won't help! Just enjoy it and try distract yourself... Hey crocheting a baby blanket or something! and when the worries pop into your head, don't focus on them and just let them pass!

LovelyFishy · 20/03/2016 15:33

Jam I used a Clear Blue test, but not the digital one. I don't want to sound too mizz but I'm pretty sure I'm out the running for this month.

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 15:42

Ok Lovelyfishy, I will be secretly optimistic for you but I understand how you feel 100% Keep us informed, whether it's good news or if the bitch gets you this month :(

I'm much the same as Starky, today I've had lots of CM that keeps making me think AF has arrived, I just cried watching the Downton finale again, then cried when I sat down on the couch and the TV remote control was on the other side of the room! Very pathetic of me! I've totally lost my appetite and don't want to eat anything at all. I've got a weird twingey pain in my right side every now and then, and very dry lips. I've barely slept as I kept getting up to pee. But DH isn't home yet so it might just be because I'm not used to sleeping alone and I might just be over emotional because I keep thinking about the poppy seed inside, eek.

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 15:54

So chuffed for you guys.

starky your symptoms sound similarish to me but I still really think it's AF for me.

I am ridiculously weepy today. Earlier I was out on my own feeling lonely and thought I heard my phone beep. Pulled it out of my pocket and realised it must have been someone else's nearby as I had a blank screen. Cried.

Need to get my act together. On a positive note, we've decided to rent that flat. I can't move back in with my parents, it would be beyond a nightmare.

Snowdog37 · 20/03/2016 16:02

I'm now 1dpo I think! Only dtd once thanks to dh being too tired. Ffs. And it was yesterday so on the day of ovulation I think. I'm kind of annoyed that I had the hsg and now we only did it once. What a waste. I'm most likely out, I mean I think we did it too late. 😭😭😭 oh well next cycle we will be attacking from all angles what with Clomid and IUI and lots of swi.

Kwick709 · 20/03/2016 16:41

snow you only need one! What is swi?

5tardusty · 20/03/2016 16:43

I am so late but aaarrrgghhhh starky !!!! Congratulations ThanksStarStarGrin

Snowdog37 · 20/03/2016 16:53

Swi = shagging with intent (as opposed to not shagging at all because someone stayed up too late playing f*cking video games the last 3 nights. Idiot.)

ElleSarcasmo · 20/03/2016 17:06

Oh dear Evergreen, sounds nasty Sad hope you're paracetamolled up now and feeling better. Flowers

Miley did you enjoy Dubai? Good tip about the dog poo bags! (Hope you don't have to pick up dog poo in your fragile state!)

Fishy you're not out yet. Will keep fx for you.

Jem poor you with the blank screen! Hope you are feeling ok now. Fx for you!

Pugmummy87 · 20/03/2016 17:08

AF has become so light over the last few cycles and barely any cramps. It's good in that I used to suffer terribly with cramps that made me pass out and heavy flow, but now it's the complete opposite.

Ni that's very kind of you, we will join all the grads at some point!

Jamjar12 · 20/03/2016 17:18

Fingers crossed for you Snow, it only takes the once! My DH has recently become obsessed with Pokemon on the DS. I've told him it's embarrassing for an almost 30 year old to be getting excited about it but he won't listen!

Just found one lonely OPK in the cupboard so thought I'd test the surge near AF=BFP theory and it's a pretty strong line! I'd definitely recommend people trying OPKs more to test! Weirdly, there's a huge difference between the IC I took this morning and the one I've just taken now... No idea why! First one was much lighter from about 7am and the 5pm one is much darker?! Any ideas why there such a big difference suddenly??

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 18:55

Hang on jem that's an opk and I just dipped a ic and it's new!

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 18:55

Neg even

SuchaJem · 20/03/2016 18:57

I'm confused now confused ! have you got a positive on an IC? Getting a positive OPK is good though?

Confusedcat1 · 20/03/2016 19:01

Nooo... Its a very nearly positive opk... At 12dpo. Brown spotting stopped tonight....
