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.

So apologies that I have been evasive of late. I actually started testing on Saturday but was not sure I could trust the results (I injected HCG before the egg collection to trigger ovulation and it can stay in your system for a while and can give a false positive) but I am very happy to confirm that my BFP has been confirmed today :)

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 20:10

Here is photographic evidence from Saturday to Monday...

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 20:11

And today's :)

Kwick! I am over the flipping moon for you!!!

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 20:24

Kwick! GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinStarStarStarStarStar fantastic congratulations!
Jem I wanted to understand how that makes sense to some people, do you believe that? I would love to believe that. But I don't see how that can be true. I wish it was Sad
I am having Wine
Not sure what my tactic will be this cycle... Pretty fed up with this TTC.

My best friend has been trying for a year and 3 months and nothing. They are both healthy and the same age as me and my OH. They will give up in a few months and just accept life without kids. I told her I think that the smartest idea Sad

HepKestrel · 22/03/2016 20:27

kwick Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 20:29

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

starky I was dying to say something to you!!!! I think we will have similar due dates....

jem I am feeling fine. I have been feeling a little sick in the mornings but I think this is in my head, and then I get cramps in the afternoon - again could be just in my head. I think I am about to go down with a cold - sore throat started a couple of hours ago - have just taken 2000mg of vit C... Would normally take a lemsip but that is VERBOTEN!!!!!!!
I also have to return to clinic tomorrow to pick up more medication - my progesterone levels are not where they want them to be so I have to take even more!!!

To be completely honest I am bricking it.... My age alongside the IVF means I have a high risk of MC... Need to take good care of myself but need to learn how!

Pugmummy87 · 22/03/2016 20:43

Waaaaah! Kwick!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

Ever, I can see what you mean about feeling like it's becoming further away rather than closer, I can't help but think 'well that's another egg wasted'

SuchaJem · 22/03/2016 20:45

kwick that's just fantastic, so pleased for you :)

ever yes I really do believe it

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 20:46

Oh Kwick!!!!! Your news has brought a tear to my eye!! What you have been through to get that second line! 😘😘😘😘😘😘 Congratulations for getting upduffed!! Wow. Life is about to change for you!!! How have you celebrated?!

LovelyFishy · 22/03/2016 20:48

Congratulations Kwick!!! Super excited for you! SmileFlowers

Evergreen15 · 22/03/2016 21:00

Jem good for you, really Smile You will be a lot happier than I am SmileThanks
Pug I totally get what you mean Grin Another waste of an egg and an awful lot of stress and sacrifices and sperm.... All for nada!!! Absolutely nada!!!
Maybe I should look for a new job and just dedicate myself to having a nice career and doing good things with my life Smile At least I would have more control over that.

I don't like when things are decided randomly, and I think this TTC is a lottery. I don't like lotteries

Confusedcat1 · 22/03/2016 21:02

I'm going to try for a year ever and then I'm going to stop trying xx

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 21:02

Thanks everyone :)

ni I have not really celebrated... I am so worried to put a foot wrong....

I know some of you lovely ladies are feeling it right now - I so know how that feels. Please just be nice to yourself. There is a lot of pressure going around... I would be lying if I said I deal with it well... I do not... But remember you are all in perfect time. I do not mean to sound all new-agey... I just wish everyone the best and please hang in there!

Confusedcat1 · 22/03/2016 21:08

And kwick you are awesome and it is just the most brilliant news! I'm so happy to see those pictures!

When I see bfps like that I think I am silly for squinting - it's like a positive opk - you know it when you see it!

Jamjar12 · 22/03/2016 21:11

Congratulations Kwick! Welcome to the world of even more symptom spotting and waiting! So pleased for you :D

Sorry for all of you who've been caught by AF, sucks.

Ever, it will happen. It's that awful catch 22 where 'if you think about the game, you've lost the game.' It's the hardest thing in the world not to stress over it because we want it so badly. It's a cliche yes but I think there is some logic to chilling a little so I hope you will let yourself cut yourself some slack and not put too much pressure on yourself :)

islandgirl99 · 22/03/2016 21:13

kwick congratulations!! Delighted by your news Grin

ever I think the same as jem, every day is one day closer. I guess it's about believing that it will happen, so every day is bringing you one day closer.

I do agree that it's frustrating that you can't control it, I'm a real planner and organiser so it drives me crazy that I can't just schedule it in and have it happen on schedule, but having accepted that now I'm just trying to be a bit more chilled and to just have faith that it'll happen when the right egg comes along.

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 21:21

Or the right magic potion Wink i think that may have been a good thing to do - change my donor.

May I share a slight "challengette" I had this morning? You know I love a FRER - so I had been saving one for today - I dipped it in and then waited 3 minutes BUT NOTHING CAME UP. NOT EVEN CONTROL LINE!!!! I could not understand it.... FRER has not failed me yet... I touched the the stick bit...dry... I had not actually dipped in FMU...when I tried again I got 2 lines straight away - phew!? Faith in FRER restored!

vixarooni · 22/03/2016 21:25

Congratulations kwik fantastic news!!!

ever my mum took 13 years to have me, thank God she never gave up! I've gone through a process in the last few days where I've hated all of this. I've questioned if I want to bring a new life into the world when I hate the process so much, and I've decided to chuck my thermomter, chuck my opks and roll with it. It's taking over my life, and like you, I want to control a process that I have no way of controlling. Giving up is easy, but remember, "the temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed"

Kwick709 · 22/03/2016 21:29

Very inspirational vixarooni - love the quote - do you know who said it originally?

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 21:30

Yay for positive opks!!!...well it's the only strong dark line I get to be excited about!!

SincerelyRosie · 22/03/2016 21:36

kwick CONGRATULATIONS!!! You must be over the moon! Stabbing yourself with needles has all seemed worth while 👍

Ni4444 · 22/03/2016 21:36

Jem Ever I get both sides...
The worrier in me says "There goes another month, you're getting older, you're gonna run out of eggs, more chances of miscarriage, more chances you're gonna need intervention, less chances of more than 1 kid the longer this takes...."
The problem solver says "they say it takes up to 12months-youre just getting closer to how long it takes, that's another month's information you've recorded, that's another month closer to getting support from professionals, another month closer to getting answers, another month closer to getting a baby sorted!!"
