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!

Starky I love the scan pic! And also the new thread title Grin

Jem sorry to hear AF got you Flowers

moose that collie is flipping gorgeous! What a brilliant idea/thing to do.

It's lovely to see the list of grads has grown since I last checked in congrats to all Smile

Welcome to pigsbum and marmite

I have probably missed some people but I'm sending good vibes and wishes to you all, like a big old hippy. Grin Grin

I have been awol for a little while, but I don't have any answers! Still no AF, still bfn, still high, soft cervix, still big boobs, still having to use the panty liners for the vast quantities of white, creamy cm, and no idea what is going on. I know the most likely explanation is a chemical which has never got established enough to register on an hpt, and I will get the mother of all periods at some random time in the near future. I have a docs appointment on Monday for s blood test anyway to try and get some clarity. But I still have a tiny speck of hope... which means I'm not drinking or eating soft cheese etc. This limbo land is rubbish!

Hello orchard you must be really late now! You say still bfn, are you testing regularly? Hope you get an answer soon.

Got to cycle 5 trying, now 13+6 and experiencing horrendous morning sickness lol.

Great scan photo Stark, how on earth you're not telling people, I have no idea. My bump is pretty obvious already so I can't hide it anymore.

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish Such. Snuggle up somewhere and curse the world, no one will judge you Wink

Well jem yes, I last tested on Wednesday, and I'm 17/18 days late, I'm losing track! I have never been more than two days late in the last 5 years.It is all very odd, I'm sure AF will be here soon, I just wish she would hurry up so we can try again. Cake for you hope this is the last time AF visits in 2016
But I'm very grateful for this thread, I'd be even more lost without you lot, I've learnt so much about untrustworthy boobs, dog walking, watching out for cyclos, chem pregs, when to cut a bitch etc etcFlowersFlowersFlowers but mostly realising that bodies do not work like clockwork and I am not alone in finding that to be the case

I'm May, 34, and 7+3 with a little blueberry. I've just bought my first pair of maternity trousers, as the bloat isn't going anywhere Blush

Marmite I was surprised that after 17 years on the pill I actually had a regular cycle once I stopped (never did prior to pill, but hey, I was young!) Took me 4 or 5 cycles before getting upduffed, and I consider myself very, very lucky!

Fingers crossed you get some answers soon orchard! Did you try a FRER?

Jem sounds like you could do with some of this Chocolate. Sorry AF is being a nuisance!

Welcome Pigsbum!

All my bloating has disappeared jam so I've got no bump at all! I think it's because Im eating normally again and all I want is salad the last couple of weeks! I've cut out salt and am drinking shed loads of water too otherwise I get stinking headaches so I think that's helped!

Telling my Mum, Dad and Sis tomorrow all going according to plan, (ie no interlopers appearing for sunday tea!) and then will probably wait till 16-20 weeks to announce it to the wider family.

Baby dust is more of a netmums/fluffy/sparkly thing. Literally like twee cutesy good wishes for everyone. Which is nice, but not particularly demonstrative or informative. Sorry you're having a bad couple of days mate, wine and chocolate for you.

orchard that's certainly a lot of symptoms. My cycles seemed to get longer each time. Maybe give it a few more days and test again? Bodies definitely are weird as balls

Feels very strange posting here. I'm a week or so past the first unprotected sex, and a week or so from my period being due.

What was almost half hearted and happily vague 'lets see what happens' became awfully real to me all of a sudden.

Please may I join this normal seeming group! My post realisation googling has brought me so many sites of hugz and baby dust wishes

Welcome Dryice

Well maybe there is something in this thread all becoming cycle sisters - AF just got me totally unexpectedly, 2/3 days early! At least that eased the TWW! And explains my massive grumpy mood this morning!!! Ha ha

marmite I was also on pill for 14 years and cycles went 37, 33, 30 and 30, wasn't ttc until 5th cycle and got my bfp a couple of weeks ago on first month,I was very surprised/lucky, had learned so much about timings from these lovely ladies I think that's what sealed the deal so to speak!

maya I have tried a Frer but not recently, I'm a bit over getting bfn all the time, especially with all these symptoms.

Hep I also joined because like drycie I thought this seemed like the most normal group I could find! Grin

Hi dryice and welcome!

moose I really hope I join you and others on AF... Just want to get going again. The good news is I tested this morning:bfn which means no lurking hcg, so MC truly over.

Think I will have an early night - have no chance of a lie in tomorrow: off for an allotment meeting.

Well the pink spotting that I thought was AF stopped by this morning! I'm still cramping but with yellowish CM (sorry for the tmi 😖) and am not sure wth is going on. Let's see if she's going to show up tonight or tomorrow? Hopefully not. If she's not here by game of thrones tomorrow night I'll get a test. Have you seen game of thrones by the way? My new favorite tv show!

Welcome Pigsbum, dryice and Monkeypoo! (Fab names)

Cruddy start to the morning. Temps have plummeted below the cover line - bye bye lovely triphasic temps Sad ... Wtf is up with my body? I'd stupidly gotten my hopes up and cried on DH this morning. I was so certain - everything felt different. I'm a mug.

Glad to hear things are getting back to normal Kwick! Flowers
