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! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

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. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

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

ni I think I'd be tempted to test if you're late and your oh is going away, but if bfn would really crush you perhaps wait. Fingers tightly crossed for you.

Positive opk yesterday and we DTD Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday this week. We've been at a wedding today so didn't manage to do it today but will tomorrow morning.

Can't help but feel it won't work because I've been drinking quite a lot today. Would / could booze prevent fertilisation? Feel so disappointed in myself for not restraining Sad

kavanaughkj · 07/05/2016 07:08

I don't think it would make any difference Jem - how many people have you heard about who have had a few drinks and found out later they were pregnant? In my experience, quite a lot! Just chill and enjoy yourself. :-)

Mooseville · 07/05/2016 07:15

I don't think it makes any difference jem unless you drink enough on a regular basis that you're reliant on it. (It had better not in off on a girls day out today and nearing OV myself!) ha ha

Jamjar12 · 07/05/2016 09:54

Sucha, don't feel bad! I didn't drink for the first 3 months of trying and then drank quite a lot socially in my 4th month when it worked- I don't think it makes much difference!

Flashinthepan · 07/05/2016 09:58

I'm going to be the terrible influence who wants everyone to test even if it's too early. So with that in mind ni test test test! Ooo kwick we only just finished clearing ours a couple of months ago as it was full of waist high brambles and weeds. We didn't look before we said yes, we chose the smallest possible plot.

Ni4444 · 07/05/2016 11:18

Well FF told me to test on Wednesday so I've definitely earned my Starky Star!!

Ni4444 · 07/05/2016 11:26

But...temp went above 37 for the first time ever this morning so... I tested before I lost my nerve. I finally get to say I GOT A BFP!!!!!!!!!!

I showed ic to OH and he thought it was an opk (how confused are men?!)...so we took the precious First response with the pregnant word on it! Then he believed it!

I now have the fear that it's gonna unstick! Especially as I took agnus castus this month...and I think I'm supposed to stop it now I'm preggers...but what if that causes progesterone levels to drop?! Will have to just see how the week goes! And then the week after that...and so on.....! Due January 13th 2017 😀

Cycle 7 ladies...even if it's taking a while it can happen!!!

Congratulations Ni!!! GrinFlowers

InspectorPenguin · 07/05/2016 14:17

Congratulations Ni!!!
That is an utterly brilliant second line and just goes to show how sensible it is to wait a little bit longer before testing. That must be so much better than squinting and inverting colours to work out if there's anything there Grin
I hope you are both having a lovely, excited, sunny, happy weekend now :)

And congratulations too to all those other BFPs there have been lately. I've not been online much as I'm in the very dull 3 weeks before OV but there seems to have been a lot of action which is lovely and encouraging.

Have a lovely weekend everyone - enjoy the sunshine! x

Ni4444 · 07/05/2016 14:29

Thanks lovely ladies! It seems very unreal! Probably not helped by the fact that we had to rush out the door to view a house, and then we both went different directions to do a few hours work!! Heading home now so looking forward to letting it settle in.

Ps...I couldn't resist the opportunity to video OH reaction (I won't out us by putting it up but here's how it went...) So I went up to him with my plate of poached eggs (we compete to see who can make the best ones!:
"How do you like my eggs?"
"Oh they're really good"
" You liked my other egg too apparently!!" and I pulled out the test!

iPatches · 07/05/2016 15:02

Congratulations Ni - very excited for you! I think we will be at similar stages!

Hope everyone else is okay. I am doing well. I feel like I should feel pregnant but I dont I feel completely normal..?

SuchaJem · 07/05/2016 16:14

Hurrah! Congratulations ni!

Fantastic news - absolutely delighted for you xxx

Thanks guys!! Grin xxx

SuchaJem · 07/05/2016 20:20

Thanks for the reassurance moose jamjar kav

It's partly the booze and partly the anxiety that comes with it. Had a sleepless night last night, heart racing and anxious thoughts - alcohol induced. Just can't be conducive to conception Confused

In the TWW now so will just have to sit back and wait. Perhaps the lowered expectations will temper the symptom spotting?!

Thanks for the list Jem. Re booze, I've not read anything that suggests it will interfere with conception/implantation but it's an interesting point you raise about anxiety etc which I hadn't really thought about before. I find anything more than a glass interferes with my sleep and has a depressive effect which may be isn't ideal although I'd guess the impact is fairly marginal given the number of people who seem to conceive on boozy holidays etc! Sounds like you and DH have got ovulation covered though so FX for a happy outcome to your TWW!

Pugmummy87 · 07/05/2016 21:25

Hello all!

I have been lurking, but just haven't had anything interesting to post about!

Congratulations to Rosie, ktt, Twinky, ipatches and Ni!!!
What a bumper crop of bfps!

jem i really wouldn't worry about drinking affecting fertilisation! I see plenty of women who come to me who said they were still drinking before they found out they were pregnant!

As for me, i am CD 11 today, been testing with the clear blue opks, went straight from low fertility the last 2 days to peak today! Completely different to last month! Best get on it tonight!

Snowdog37 · 07/05/2016 21:56

sucha you can put me down for May 22nd. Thanks muchly!
Congrats ni!!! 🎉💐🎉💐🎉💐
