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!

Only by one day, Ni. To be honest 30th April is a bit hopeful for me!

Mooseville · 11/04/2016 20:51

kwick that's fab news!! Great there's a little heartbeat!!!

miley really feel for you. It sounds horrendous! Remind me why we're doing this again???

jem I'm somewhere around the 28th for AF but I'll be hopping straight onto Mays bus. No DTD due to this stupid course!!

Been babybombed today by SIL. Happy for her but just feel a bit sad as I thought we'd be next to announce it. Hopefully this will give DP kick up the butt he needs to get his leg over a bit more often and at the right time!!!! Ha ha

twinkydink · 11/04/2016 21:08

Ni I'm on the May bus tool!! Can we put me down for 5th May -seems a life time away!!

Congrats Flash really happy for you. God our bodies can be very confusing!

Pugmummy87 · 11/04/2016 21:15

kwick so glad your scan went well today.

miley hyperemesis is crap, please ring the hospital if you can't keep anything down, sounds like you may need some iv fluids.

flash congratulations! What a shock for you after thinking you'd had af!

Thank you for the kind comments/advice you gave me about my cousin and the naming of the baby. Obviously I don't know for sure she will name him after my Dad, I don't really speak to her much. I hope that she at least asks, I would compromise on her using it as a middle name.
I might not even have a boy (if I even get pregnant), but if my sister has children and she has a boy then she can use it instead. A baby from me or my sister (who is a long way off yet, she's only turns 18 next week!) would have been my Dad's first grandchild.

No idea where I am in my cycle as haven't looked at FF or ovia for about a week. Haven't bothered with temps either as cba and haven't been symptom spotting. It's quite liberating this month.
AF is due around the 18th I think jem.

Jamjar12 · 11/04/2016 22:30

Yay Flash! Congrats!

Had my early scan today, saw my little blueberry! Much clearer than I expected and the internal scan probey thing wasn't too bad at all!

Here's my tiny little 7+4 bean! The lady was like, 'wow you were spot on with your dates! Some women have no idea!' My DH just said 'you've got no idea. She has an app for everything' Blush Haha!

Mooseville · 11/04/2016 23:33

That's amazing!! Can't believe how much it looks like an actual baby so early!!!

Ni4444 · 11/04/2016 23:49

Wow, that's an incredible shot Jam! Only 7weeks and such a great shape already!

My OH keeps doing my nut by saying "IF we get pregnant", "IF we have kids". I'll throttle him next time!!!

Planning my summer holidays -too exciting to go to bed! Anyone been near Biarritz and can make any recommendations?

kavanaughkj · 12/04/2016 00:29

Definitely not a graduate here ladies, sorry. :( Next test date is likely to be April 29 - I'm currently on CD9 of cycle 3 (4 technically but we weren't really properly trying that first one!).

Congrats Flash! And thanks for sharing the pic Jam - lovely to see.

Kwick709 · 12/04/2016 07:50

jamjar that is amazeballs!!!! I hope I get a clearer image next week.

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 07:56

Hey everyone ^waves sheepishly
^
Really glad to see the list up and running Jem!

I had a little bit of a MN break, and I'm not sure that I can catch up on the 700 posts I've missed so I think I'll have to go from here.

Hope all is well hope I've missed some BFPs

What am I in, cycle 9 now? Lol. Maybe I can't do this after all!!!

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 08:27

jam that's awesome thanks for sharing, glad to hear everything is going as it should

ni nothing like a bit of holiday planning to lift your soul! I've not been there I'm afraid

Sorry kav I'm out of control here graduating people left right and centre. Will put you down for the 29th

kaaaaaaaaaaaaat :) good to see you. Would you like your list back? I've been moonlighting and not doing a great job of it! Hope you're alright xx

Feefeefs · 12/04/2016 10:23

Jam that scan is amazing! I think I'll be 7+4 when I get mine done too! Hope I get such a good picture!

Flashinthepan · 12/04/2016 10:47

Awww Jam that looks so good. And thanks for all the congrats. Hasn't really sunk in it. DH very excited. And has realised that a mid December baby has the perks of paternity leave followed by almost 2 weeks of holiday and then the start of a new work year of annual leave so even more holiday to settle in.

Sorry to ask, but for those of you having early scans, is that just something you can opt for or only in special cases? Just curious as with the early spotting/AF type bleed (all gone now) I was just wondering if I should have something like that.

celizabe · 12/04/2016 11:00

Congrats jam that little bean looks so sweet and well done you flash - love a good BFP story to keep my hopes up!

Jem thanks for pulling the list together, I'm on for April 17th but not feeling very preggies so I think I'll be on the May bus too. Might have to actually try SMEP next month ... but it sounds like SUCH hard work!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/04/2016 11:05

flash the early scan's have been done privately. There are specific places that do them. They cost anywhere from £50-100+ depending on where you are etc. We haven't had one, in my mind I need to get to 12 weeks and then I'll start believing it will stick!

Welcome back kat Grin

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 11:41

Flash congrats on your BFP :) excellent news!

Jam I think you are doing a brilliant job... It got all a bit much for me to read everyone's posts so I'm not sure I will be able to keep up with it. I'm happy for you to do it for a while if you like? I'm not sure who's here and who's not anymore! I may take up the reins again a bit later on, if I stick around.

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/04/2016 11:41

Jem ** see now I'm making basic errors

islandgirl99 · 12/04/2016 12:15

Welcome back kat - AF arrived for me this morning (1 day earlier than expected) so it looks like i'm joining you in cycle 9.

I'm still feeling pretty positive about it all though, I really believe that I just need to stay chilled and it'll happen for me and dh in the next few months. Hopefully I'm not just delusional!

We booked a last minute all inclusive holiday to Greece for the end of this month last week, so I have that to look forward to now too, and it means I can overindulge in all the free food and alcohol without feeling guilty.

jem good job on the stats, can i get my next ticket for 13th May please (god, that sounds AGES away)

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 12:23

flash that is a lovely perk to having a December baby!

celi noted, ticket issued

kat no worries I'm happy to be temporary bus conductor. I'll keep your seat warm. Kats stats has too much of a ring to it to give up permanently

Hello island sorry AF got you but I'm with you on trying to stay relaxed and believe it will happen. Will pop you down for May.

My next ticket is for the 20th April. No idea if we've done it this month, just trying to relax and wait without going mad! I'll be onto cycle 9 otherwise...
