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!

Ooh I jumped the gun and just read an earlier post where you said you'd already tried a FRER. Still, try again tomorrow maybe!

(Sorry, was just a little overexcited at the idea of more BFPs on here)

Evergreen17 · 09/04/2016 21:56

Jam I think what is confusing vix is that she got a positive on ic and negatove on FRER Hmm

Evergreen17 · 09/04/2016 21:58

GrinGrinNow I am the one that jumped the gun jam Grin

vixarooni · 09/04/2016 22:49

Thanks guys, this is helping me feel better! I only have the second test out of the packet, it's not a frer though. I'm probably gonna wait it out, nothing I can do either way.

jam it's an ic that's given me the positive, everything else hasn't!! I'm now shit scared to pee on anything. Confused

vixarooni · 09/04/2016 22:52

Haha I've just jumped it also!!! Sorry jam.

Yea I've done a first response one but when I just googled it it's not the frer I don't think, the packet nor the test look the same.

SuchaJem · 10/04/2016 00:08

Fx vix we are due a bfp!

vixarooni · 10/04/2016 08:43

Thanks for the positivity guys. I woke up to a load of blood so that answers the questions :( I'm feeling pretty devestated.

I'm gunna have a break from all of this, I never imagined how difficult emotionally this journey would be, and I clearly need to learn more about this body of mine.

Good luck everyone, you are and continue to be a great support for everyone on this road and I hope nice clear bfps rain on all of you!!

SuchaJem · 10/04/2016 08:52

Oh love Sad I'm so sorry. It's so bloody heartbreaking. Take care be kind to yourself xx

twinkydink · 10/04/2016 09:07

Vix I am so sorry, TTC really can be cruel. Be kind to yourself and take all the time you need away from here xx

Jamjar12 · 10/04/2016 10:13

Oh vix, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for getting all excited too, that probably didn't help. It's such a roller coaster of emotions, it's a wonder we don't all go crazy. I'm finding it just as hard on the other side waiting for scans and appointments too.

Taking a break and focusing on things outside of TTC and MN sounds like a good idea. Our broodiness is overwhelming sometimes but it's not worth making yourself miserable for. Please take care of yourself and remember everyone here is wishing you well ThanksThanks

Feefeefs · 10/04/2016 11:03

Sorry about AF twinky I used a clear blue digital ovulation kit. Found it really good not having to interpret.

Sounds amazing fx!

Jem that does sound a bit crap! Maybe best to stick where you are?

I'm so sorry vix!Thanks

LovelyFishy · 10/04/2016 11:12

Ttc is a whole lot harder than I ever imagined. Many many emotions. Especially when you think you've got it... Love and take care of yourself Vix. Flowers

So I had my first discovering I'm pregnant dream last night. Now trying not to think it's a sign as I'm at the beginning of my tww. Confused

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/04/2016 11:51

Sounds like a possible chemical vix I'm so sorry mate, it really does take an emotional toll, I always found myself stepping back and having to take a breather for a few days at the beginning of a new cycle. Be kind to yourself Flowers

SuchaJem · 10/04/2016 12:30

feef I think I will stay, if I wasn't trying I would leave but I've got to be positive about conceiving and doing what's best with that in mind.

skip eerrrrrr that trip sounds amazing!

Julia2016 · 10/04/2016 13:06

So sorry vix, it's so bloody hard. 😔

Ni4444 · 10/04/2016 14:02

Heart goes out to you Vix. What a cruel roller-coaster. Lots of love xxxx

HepKestrel · 10/04/2016 14:20

Flowers vix

sucha ignoring the maternity package side of things....

how much better is this new job? how often can you imagine a chance like this coming again?

twinkydink · 10/04/2016 14:43

Thanks feef I'm ordering off of amazon today. Should I get the pack of 10 or 20?

Also purchased some evening primrose oil today, what's the deal with it? How often do I take it?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/04/2016 14:53

Always bulk order twink it gets addictive! Epo, I got a packet of 90 from aldi, took 1 capsule from cd 2 -approx 16/17.

Ni4444 · 10/04/2016 15:17

Yeah, take EPO from AF to ovulation Twink. I'm taking a tab (1000mg) in the morning, and one in the evening. Apparently you can take up to 3000mg a day for cervical fluid, but I found I got dull headaches when I took 3000mg a day (in fairness I was taking the tablets at the same time...Maybe spacing throughout the day would have prevented the headaches!)

Good to see you Stark. How many weeks and days are you now? Are you feeling OK?

Peaches8Posies · 10/04/2016 15:38

Sounds like a chemical vix take care of yourself xx

skip trip sounds like a cracker! Hope you have a ball. Feels like forever since I've had the summer on my skin.

Really tired today, so been pretty lazy. Hope everyone is having a nice day before the Monday meyham tomorrow ☺

SuchaJem · 10/04/2016 16:26

Hi hep it's a promotion to senior manager and would be managing a small team. Where I am now I launched a new magazine last year which is going really well, it's hard work but it's fun and there's lots of opportunities. Both quite different, both have pros and cons.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/04/2016 16:54

Hiyaaaah ni Im 7+3 (I think!) And literally don't feel a different to how I felt in the tww! Boobs are slightly tender, I'm hungry more, waking up more easily when Dh gets in bed but aside from that I'm just as gassy and bloated as usual! Got my booking in appointment on Wednesday. This bit is just reeeeally boring! Honestly, time is glacial, and I can't get excited about anything yet. It's like shroedingering on acid! I'm waking up every day waiting/expecting to feel rotten! How are you?

kwick Im it sure entirely when my next af would have been, ill have to work it out hough I suppose it would be around the 9/10 week mark going off my cycles. How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Feefeefs · 10/04/2016 17:54

I got the 20 twink but only used 7 in the end! You can't buy the refills on there own tho so 20 maybe better. I used EPO too bought it in Morrisons for £1! I took 3 tablets a day -1000mg start of period until positive ovulation test.

Glad you're ur feeling well starky 5+2 and I feel rotten!!! Booked an early scan 23rd April hoping it breaks up the glacial time

SuchaJem · 10/04/2016 18:10

I've got small but nagging stabbing sensation in my lower abdomen - left hand side - just above my hip - on and off the last 40 minutes ish.

Am day 18 and had my positive OPK on Thursday ... Surely this is too late for ovulation? Could it be implantation?

(Please please please let it be implantation...)
