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.

WE SHALL WIN IN THE GAME OF SPERM MEETS EGG! IT WILL HAPPEN!

This morning:

Me: how's your tooth?Wink
Oh: much better
Oh: goes back to news article
Me: mmmmmmm Angry

Feefeefs · 02/04/2016 08:06

Cracked and tested this am on cycle day 32! BFN, I'm sure AF will arrive shortly to mock my optimism! Guiltless vino tonight then I suppose. . .

kavanaughkj · 02/04/2016 09:04

At cycle day 32 I'm not surprised you cracked, Feefs - I can't believe you held out that long! Flowers sorry about the BFN though. I'm still waiting for AF to show myself - had a BFN yesterday and my temps dropped, but they went back up this morning so I have no clue what's going on! Not testing again though, I'm pretty convinced AF will show up this afternoon, and I'll be joining you in that vino if that's the case!

Ni4444 · 02/04/2016 09:05

Aw sorry to hear that Feefs. How many dpo?

I'm 9dpo... Got a temp rise this morning...but resisted and flushed fmu! i will not get excited. I will not get excited. If temp remains high tomorrow I'll test.... Now to distract myself for the day!!!!

SuchaJem · 02/04/2016 11:10

Ooh ni that's promising! Fx

Morning all. I'm so hungover I cannot currently leave my bed.

DH is on a stag do this weekend and it's isw next week. Our baby making ingredients are going to be pickled in booze ConfusedWine

Ni4444 · 02/04/2016 11:39

That should make for a very merry baby Jem! Just make sure you guys catch up on some Zzzs before Monday!! 😉

Feefeefs · 02/04/2016 12:47

Poor you jem, bacon sandwich stat!

I think I'm got peak on clear blue 16th and 17th March so I think 16DPO. So I think that's me considered out even if no AF. Never had a AF this late since stopping the pill tho. Haven't had usual PMS type symptoms yet either.

Looks promising ni!

bluebird3 · 02/04/2016 16:40

Fx for everyone who is testing this week. I'm out... Af arrived today and just in time for my holiday to Spain tomorrow Angry. No baby-makation for me. At least I can drink sangria.

SuchaJem · 02/04/2016 16:45

Sorry bluebird :( enjoy your hols

I take back what I said about delaying treats. I have discovered THIS

Boo bluebird!!! Hope she exits quickly!

vixarooni · 02/04/2016 17:23

What a shit blue have a lovely time in Spain!

Last hangover for me was in December and it killed me! Hope it's bearable for you.

Done a bike ride and a walk into deal today. Glad I've started exercising even though I hate the hills!

CrazyCatLady2 · 02/04/2016 17:29

Hi, hope it's OK for me to join this thread?

I'm 37 (next month), stopped taking my pill at beginning of March and TTC #1.

Was expecting AF on 7th April but she turned up yesterday instead which upset my fertility app!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/04/2016 18:27

Welcome crazycatlady Smile you are very welcome here!

jem that peanut butter looks amazeballs! I found peanut butter flavour hot chocolate in sainsburys last week! Had to walk away very quickly before I bought it!

New blog post is up starkydirewoolf.wordpress.com finally! All dh's fault!

SuchaJem · 02/04/2016 18:33

Good work vix. I did a 10k walk today - a bit unintentionally really, it was so lovely out I just kept going. Justifies another spoonful of maple pecan peanut butter maybe...

Welcome crazycatlady we've got a few cat people around these parts you'll fit right in.

Great blog update starky, I particularly enjoyed the phases of realisation mr starky went through :)

vixarooni · 02/04/2016 19:40

Hi cat greatxit came sooner, hopefully means you'll be fertile quicker!

I think I've found a pram I like, for the baby I don't have! Can't help looking for my niece/nephew bits then looking for what I want.

Hi indi I dunno where your post has gone but I swear I've read it! Hope things are going well, do you have a scan pic?

Pugmummy87 · 02/04/2016 20:17

Another bloody flashing smiley face on the clear blue opk today. Out of interest, I also tested using the cheapy opk, that looked like it was almost positive.

I'm feeling very nonchalant about this cycle. Body seems to be doing weird things and I can't be arsed to try and worry why.

Jem peanut butter is one of weaknesses. I could eat a whole jar in one go. Hence why I'm getting the size of a house

LovelyFishy · 02/04/2016 20:31

Have you tried sliced apple dipped in peanut butter? It's the best!

Sorry about AF Bluebird, but yay on sangria! One of my weaknesses...

Welcome Crazycatlady. Smile

Feefeefs · 02/04/2016 22:15

I went out for drinks tonight had 5 and took myself home early still no AF but bfn this am! I'm gonna feel guilty if I'm one of those people who don't get bfp for weeks and weeks but ah well will feel less bitter when AF arrives! Hopefully. . .

Welcome crazycatlady hope my crazy tonight doesn't put you off!

On the train home boobs are agony wish I could just unhook my bra but don't worry I won't!

Mooseville · 02/04/2016 22:38

OMG jem I have totally had that a nd it is bloody amazeballs!!!

Me and DP been out in fancy London Town today, lunch then drinks then home for pizza and chocolate and Ant and Dec on catch up!
Have had a few deep and meaningfuls, we are saving hard at moment for house/paying debt off and he is worried about impact of pregnancy/baby, although does want to try. Helped talking about it as it has felt he's not totally on board at times, but is at others, just have felt his hesitation. We're out next month as I'm away for two weeks now with work so will miss fertile week so at least we can have a relaxed month without all these conflicting emotions!!! Gosh this is all so difficult!!!!!

Ni4444 · 03/04/2016 00:11

Aw Moose that's great that you had a good chat about it! This process is such a test on relationships! I took myself out for a very fun day in London town today too. One of those lovely lunch dates with an old friend that ends up being a whole day of "fly by the seat of your pants" fun. Had a few drinks and some sushi (hard to explain why I wouldn't fancy sushi to friend who didn't know we were ttc) Naughty, but hey ho upduffedness doesn't seem to be happening anyway!!

Jem that looks fab! My healthy work snack is rice cake smothered with peanut butter and slices of banana. I must try that though!!

Feefs if AF is gonna insist on coming for you I hope it comes quick so you can drink, be merry, and get on with next cycle!

IrregularCommentary · 03/04/2016 00:15

Love the new blog Stark. Dh went super weird about food poisoning with me. I remember a few weeks ago he'd been chopping raw chicken on the side and as I walked near it, he actually warned me off the area!

My reaction of leaning down to the raw chicken juice and pretending to lick it didn't hugely help his nerves: "BAAAAAAAABBBBBBBEEEEEE!!!!" Poor lamb was traumatised. I found it hilarious.

Ni4444 · 03/04/2016 01:00

Great blog post Starky! I can't wait to see how my OH reacts! Probably 100% clueless!

SuchaJem · 03/04/2016 01:19

Loving the pram for non baby vix :) I named our non children today on my walk - decided on Rose Emily, William Arthur George and Ava Joy. Sorted. Now all I need is this pesky bfp?

pug with you on nonchalant. I think nonchalant is going to sum up cycle 4 for me

Sliced apple in peanut butter is new to me fishy but I will give it a whirl!

feefs I hope these are milk making baby boobs you have!

moose sounds like a tough chat but really good one to get out there and those feelings aired xx

ni sounds like a lush day wasn't the weather gorgeous in London today? It's got me in such a good mood, blasting through my hangover fog and lifting me up!

Kwick709 · 03/04/2016 12:19

Sorry bluebird Flowers

Welcome crazycatlady

suchajem that peanut butter looks amazeballs! How can you have an unitentional 10k walk though? Hmm

ni don't worry about sushi - most reputable sushi places freeze the fish to get rid of any nasties anyway

Right off to read starky's blog!
