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!

Jem I'm in a similar boat, told DH to stop eating do loudly this morning Hmm poor bloke. I'm sure my gp would say 7 months is "nothing" too. I remind myself that 90% of people are pregnant within a year.

MmmMalbec · 11/06/2016 10:17

I'm sorry to jump on your thread but I was being nosey and saw Alice you've had spotting in between periods. Has it been going on for a while? It's just started for me this cycle so I've had swabs and I have to have blood tests next week which should be 7 days after OV but I'm reluctant to believe I'm ovulating when I'm bleeding?

bluebird3 · 11/06/2016 10:53

Yay for af kwick! Glad you can get started again soon. The waiting is soooo hard.

Congrats ever! Lovely to see another bfp on the thread.

Sorry for temp dip nicky I ha mixed feelings when temping...it was good know and prepare myself so I wasn't so disappointed when af appeared...but also gutting and makes it seem so long before DILRW comes around. Flowers

nicky883 · 11/06/2016 12:05

Thanks everyone started spotting expected period was on 16 ! So very early
I am so gutted had sex everyday during my fertile window :(
Had a smear test yesterday and i bled so maybe that is what caused it to start early Sad i am on holiday and i want to l stay in bed and cry

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 13:35

Putting myself down for CD1 today as my four days of spotting has got a little heavier. Looks like this has been my second anovulatory cycle. Just 19 days this time. Spotting has gone on too long and was really too early for implantation at 4DPO (despite furious googling).

Ah well. SadWine

This month i'm not going to use EPO and see how i get on, in case that contributed in anyway to the lack of ov. OPKs later this week as i got a surge around day 9 last cycle, when i normally ovulate around day 17, and i would've missed it if i'dve not been checking.

kwick · 11/06/2016 18:04

Why won't our bodies just behave!!!

nicky883 · 11/06/2016 18:21

So sorry for that 5star ! Spotting here as well waiting for full af tomorrow ! Really short cycle of 24 days never had one like that
I was actualy thinking of starting epo and acupuncture this month ! Why do you think epo caused anovulation ?

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 19:11

I don't really nicky and i know logically that it's just my hormones post- mc but just in case it doesn't agree with me, i thought i'd keep off it this cycle and observe! It did increase my cm though. I definitely will use it again once things are a bit more normal!

5tardusty · 11/06/2016 19:12

Feeling your pain kwick!!

SuchaJem · 11/06/2016 19:15

Have a good cry Nicky let it all out Flowers it sucks. Once AF is gone I tend to find I feel much more optimistic again. But wallow whilst you need to.

If AF comes for me next week I think I'll try acupuncture next month too.

Sorry 5tar too, earlier opking sounds like a good idea.

emalady · 11/06/2016 21:03

ever that is awesome, so many good things. Hope you manage to relax and start to enjoy it!

kwick brilliant you have now actually had AF and can start looking forward again.

I've managed to stay slightly saner this 2ww so far but will see how things go when Ovia starts telling me I should test. Really want to start testing, almost said I had a good feeling thins month but I always think that around this time. Blush

Evergreen17 · 11/06/2016 21:08

Hi guys
Just popping over from graduates where Lauren is offering 30 internet cheapie pg test to a good home or they will go in the bin Smile

AliceScarlett · 12/06/2016 07:45

Jem we're no longer cycle buddies :( The witch got me 5 days early, I've decided that counts as irregular cycles and will make another gp appt if my tests come back normal and I don't need one anyway. NHS choices says you can have pcos without any symptoms. I want to be tested for that. I know that's demanding, but I know something isn't right.

AliceScarlett · 12/06/2016 07:49

Malbec Sorry to hear you're experiencing similar. I really don't know about ov'ing if bleeding.... Logically it seems less likely but I think that is all we can say. Without a scan it's not really possible to see if you're ov'ing or not.... Right? So idk. I hope you get some answers.

AliceScarlett · 12/06/2016 07:50

Nicky I always spot after a smear, it's normal, it might just be that.

MmmMalbec · 12/06/2016 10:30

Thanks Alice. You too. Have you tried temping? I found it helped me to confirmed I'd OVed when I came off the pill a few years ago. I've just started again this time but I don't know if I'm too late in my cycle. I'll see what happens any way.

marmitetoast1 · 12/06/2016 13:11

Hi all! CD 17 here and just coming to the end of fw here (well, I think! Based mainly on cm and Ovia! Still a bit clueless!) so shortly entering 2ww. This will be my first proper 2ww really as last cycle we had just randomly had unprotected sex a few times with no idea of timings! Managed to dtd quite a bit in the end this time after DH recovered from various illnesses! So we'll see... cue the craziness! Will be interested to see length of cycle this time... hoping it might have shortened a bit. I'm guessing it probably should have if i'm right on ov/fw timing.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday and no one going too crazy in 2ww. Who's next to test?

SuchaJem · 12/06/2016 13:18

Oh Alice that sucks, 5 days is really early. I'd see my GP too. FlowersChocolate

Welcome to the TWW marmite. All the crazy welcome. I'm halfway through. Spent the first half in sunny San Francisco - very distracting. Back
Home now, This week is where the fun starts. Predominant feeling right now is jet lag!

Also had mood swings being shitty with DH and crying. All equals PMS.

One week to go!

marmitetoast1 · 12/06/2016 15:52

Spending the first half of 2ww in San Fran definitely sounds like a plan Jem! I'll be off on holiday in Italy for the second week of 2ww... Eek!
Mood swings and feeling emotional could be part of jet lag too?

Kathrino · 12/06/2016 16:00

Sorry for all those who've got AF, especially when it's come early. Total bugger.

FX for marmite and Jem and anyone else in the TWW!

I'm CD10 and desperately hoping that my current high stress levels will ensure that I don't ovulate until at least next Saturday as DH and I are in separate countries until Friday.

bluebird3 · 12/06/2016 17:29

Fx for that egg to stay put kathrino!

Hope the jet lag doesn't stick around too long jem

I'm currently cd19 with day 21 bloods on tues. hopefully will get some clarity as last cycle's bloods were 'inconclusive'

Kathrino · 12/06/2016 17:45

Thanks bluebird! Good luck for your blood tests on Tues, I hope you get some answers this time.

SnarkyGorgon · 12/06/2016 20:34

Congrats ever fab news!

AF got me like clockwork on Friday, though super light this month which is weird and freaking me out a little. Not dealing very well with it to be honest. Also, OH and I did some research and it looks like his anxiety meds could be having a hideous effect on his sperm- fun times! Can't believe we're onto cycle 6 without even a sniff of a bfp, never thought it would be this hard.

Sorry for the wallowing, I know we're all in the same boat, ttc is a very lonely place and I'm desperately trying not to unleash all my crazy on my poor OH who is utterly convinced he's infertile and I'm going to leave him 😕

Fx crossed for all those in the tww, comisserations to all who were got by the witch. On we go to next month

nicky883 · 12/06/2016 20:44

Alice yes the doctor told
Me that is normal to have some spiotting on the day but it continued for the next days as well and it was accompanied with period type cramping so i thought is af i still get some brown spotting when i wipe now but nothing red yet
What is even more weird is that i have EWCM what the hell is going on with this cycle ??
Still having af style cramps so o think she is just being a bitch and giving me false hopes !

SnarkyGorgon · 12/06/2016 22:10

Fx for you nicky - our bodies are so infuriating and confusing, hope it sorts itself out soon
