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.

To all the lovely ladies who helped me with my near invisible line,
I will test with FMU tomorrow or Wednesday, when AF is due. I'm 11 or 12 dpo today.
Today I've had to pee, literally, every hour, and I've had some nasty looking globs of bright yellow CM.

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:01

Lyssie did you test??
So I am feeling so mad right now(I go from mad to sad)
I finally wake up without a fever and decide to waste another FRER as AF due tomorrow.
I wee in my cup and put the lovely expensive FRER there AngryAngryEnvyAngryAngryEnvy
Then I look down and AF has arrived with a vengeance. SadEnvyAngryAngryEnvyAngry
So I had tears, went mad at OH and then cried some more.
Cycle fucking 5
And starting to think my short LH is a problem
Suck this shit
Don't even excuse my language AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 08:05

Oh Ever that sucks! That happened me last cycle too...tested only to realise AF had arrived. What a headfuck!!!

My LH has been 10 days last two cycles-how long is yours? Might try some natural stuff next month to try to lengthen it

O day should be today or tomorrow. Dtd last night and managed to sneak in pre-seed so fingers crossed!

Lyssie crossing my fingers for you!

ElleSarcasmo · 22/03/2016 08:11

Lol at meringue minge Feefs!!

Oh Ever, hugs and mucho sympathy to you. That really sucks Sad

CD 29 today (normally 28-29)-felt nauseous all day yesterday so got all hopeful. BFN this morning though Sad

Bah to TTC!!

ElleSarcasmo · 22/03/2016 08:11

Fx for you Jem, Confused and Lyssie!

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:16

Ni so maybe because I didn't pay close attention or maybe because I am older or probably because my body wants to mess up with my TTC but my cycles are a lot shorter these days. My LT has been 11 days for the last 3 cycles and 10 days for this very last one.
I have read that 10 and 11 is fine and that below 9 a bit harder but lots and lots of success stories (a bit like PCOS, they say is harder but lots of my friends with babies have PCOs) so maybe we shouldn't worry about that.
However, I am up for tryinh something natural, what are you thinking? And this EPO as well??
Gracias Elle Sad it sucks big time

SuchaJem · 22/03/2016 08:23

Lol at meringue minge!!

Sounds promising lyssie

Sorry for bfn elle, the nausea is a good sign though, fx AF is no show

Sorry about AF ever :( does epo lengthen lh or am I getting mixed up?

I think next cycle I will try epo. No news from me, AF due tomorrow and I think she'll be on time.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 22/03/2016 08:27

So sorry you're having a rotten day ever 🍷🍰🌹 be kind to yourself lovely girl.

I used epo this time round. From cd 1 to dh smelling me ovulate! It seemed to make my af shorter well, it was 4/5 days instead of 6/7 and I seemed to have more cm over the course of the cycle.

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:50

Jem I think the epo improves your CM? Maybe I am wrong? Sad

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 08:52

Kat thanks for the list lovely. Another bloody bus ticket Sad
You can put me down for the 17th of April Sad

SuchaJem · 22/03/2016 08:54

kats stats! Hurrah :) thanks for the update

That rings a bell ever

Flashinthepan · 22/03/2016 09:01

Morning all. Sorry about the witch Ever.

Oooo my very first Kat's Stats! Kat can you put me down for 2nd of April? Seems a long time away but nicely punctuated by a chocolatey Easter!

KatOnATinRo0f · 22/03/2016 09:01

Jem it's not really an update it's a hopelessly outdated list! I'm not sure if some of the people are even here anymore (apart from grads they stay on the list but move up to the next bus station lol)

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 09:03

Ok so tomorrow I am going to holland and barrets to get EPO for my CM and Vitex agnus castus to lengthen my LP
Time for the big guns

natural-fertility-info.com/vitex

Flashinthepan · 22/03/2016 09:09

Ever if you don't already, try incoporating some vit B6. Its one of the reasons I chose the Seven Seas conception vits as B6 is well docmented as improving fertility by lengthening the luteal phase and mine seemed to be quite short after I came off the pill last year.

HepKestrel · 22/03/2016 09:23

Kat April 13th for me.

HepKestrel · 22/03/2016 09:26

look at that long list of graduates!!!

i am still trying epo this month (plus vitD and folic acid), i may try the seven seas next month.

I think my luteal phase is normal or longer-than-normal so i'm not worried about that.

I was naughty and skipped dinner yesterday. i know, i know bad hep

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 09:26

Thanks for the advice Flash. I used to take those and then I switched to others maybe I will go back as well Sad

FXSkip · 22/03/2016 09:31

Welcome back kat I don't envy you this task! Please can I have a ticket for 14th April? I am well off the March bus

Snowdog37 · 22/03/2016 09:55

Could I get a ticket for April 2nd please Kat ? I'm 3dpo and not temping or anything. Going to let the crazy come au naturel this cycle.

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 10:12

Yeah Ever I'm doing EPO AF to O to ensure CM is all good, then a slice of pineapple including the core O to AF to encourage implantation. I also started taking iron tablets this cycle... Read that low iron levels affect fertility so thought no harm taking them. Think I'll try agnus cactus next cycle-some wise person Starky reminded me that changing too much too quickly means you won't know what has caused what reaction! /overloading the system!
I had thought of taking extra B vits Flash but I'll double check what my multivits have

Thanks for the list Kat.

Just had a sharp right pain...hope it's ovulation! Had an almost as dark as the control opk this morning even with fmu so I'm taking it to be a positive...missed yesterday (late nights at work this week so opking a challenge....tried to do one at work yesterday "in the stream"...flooded the whole goddamn stick! No clear result!)

KatOnATinRo0f · 22/03/2016 10:23

This list task is a good'un. Rae has her BFP doesn't she??
No stats unfortunately until list is up to date but it's looking good! I think more than 50%pregnant now (either that or we are now a boring thread and everyone has left us to join more exciting threads)

I am ? Dpo so will just say that I am SP. no symptoms. Not looking. Don't care. :)

Feefeefs · 22/03/2016 10:40

So sorry ever it really it shit.

I'm 1st of April Kat really hoping that's not some kind of premonition that AF will fool me! Impressed with your lack of stress.

islandgirl99 · 22/03/2016 10:44

hep looks like we need tickets for the same day, do you know when you're expecting O to happen? just wondering if we're cycle twins!

kat please put me down for 13th April, seems like ages away but that's what FF is telling me. The long list of grads is good to see though, boosts the hopeful feelings so thanks for doing the list!
