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!

Nicky I agree tww is much worse than the wait for FW, I think because at this stage it's completely out of our control.

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 11:28

Wingingit the thing i dread the most is having af arrive while am at work ! And i am kind of feeling it nowAngry

marmitetoast1 · 14/06/2016 12:18

Thanks lovelyfishy I'm not sure whether it actually woke me up or if I woke because I needed a wee and was then aware of the pain Hmm

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 12:54

Nicky & Winging 2ww(+) is THE WORST! Out of control is definitely the feeling. I don't know about you guys but my body never does what I expect it to do!

AF arriving while I'm at work would be devastating and then I'd have to pretend like I'm fine. I have the worst back pain today and I'm checking my pants every half and hour! I swear everyone must think I have a UTI or something...

Snowdog37 · 14/06/2016 13:02

I agree with you all! The 2ww sucks! I'm 12dpiui, exhausted as I didn't sleep at all last night, just did that infuriating tossing and turning thing. I don't know wtf my body is playing at but today I just have a filthy temper and feel fat and tired and annoyed at everything. I'm not testing til Thursday when the clinic will run a blood test. Roll on Thursday afternoon when I'll know what the deal is!

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 13:03

modest ditto! I had to take a detour past the stationary room last time so I could return to my desk clutching post-it notes as the reason for my 2nd disappearance of the morning! Blush

SuchaJem · 14/06/2016 13:53

Right there with you ladies HmmEnvy

AF due Friday and she feels imminent. Never more aware of my knicker region than these few days!

I'm crampy windy too hot my tits hurt... But at least my mood has improved. I was a Woman On The Edge yesterday!

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 14:11

Sucha is this the forst time you have done iui ? How long have you been trying ? Fingers crossed for you !!

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 15:10

Haha Sucha aware of my knicker region is exactly right! Good luck with your IUI !

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 15:29

Sorry tmi but I seem to have a lot of cm at the mo which means constantly feeling the slight 'dripping' sensation just like when AF arrives. Not helping reduce the need to visit the loos!
I get that each month so not taking it as a positive sign

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 15:45

Wingingit i get the exact same thing its so annoying !! When you go and dont see blood you are releived but not really as af can still show up I swear these two days are the worst !
Ovia says creamy cm can mean both af and pregnant which is really helpful !!

Cramps are getting worse here .. Hope af doesnt arrive untl i am home !
Spotting started on saturday but stoped today so i am thinking it was left over blood from smear test rather than af

kwick · 14/06/2016 16:07

The kidneys and feet thing I think comes from Chinese medicine Confused but I went with it as my feet are always cold.

kwick · 14/06/2016 16:10

Fx snowdog

SuchaJem · 14/06/2016 16:47

Modest and Nicky - it's snowdog whose had the iui, not me Smile

LovelyFishy · 14/06/2016 18:49

AF arriving at work is the worst. I'm working tonight, AF due tomorrow, and I'm very grumpy! Can't decide if that's because AF is on her way or because I just think she is!! Thought I saw a tiny bit of red earlier but nothing since... I'm officially going crazy!

Mooseville · 14/06/2016 22:38

Evening girls. Just caught up. Currently away visiting family and it's been hectic. 2 days till AF here.... Although lots of DTD, very little 'deposited' but even though I know there's v little chance, I'm still thinking "ooh well they tell you some sperm are released anyway before the main event so maybe......" I mean dream on love!!! If it was that easy, we'd all be preggers!!!

SuchaJem · 14/06/2016 22:50

Moose and lovely our cycles are so close. Fingers crossed for at least one bfp this week xx

nicky883 · 15/06/2016 07:05

Goodmorning ladies ,
Af arrived for me last night and after a night. Of crying like someone died i ve decided that i am going to stop .
I ll throw away the few opks left and onstain from any tracking talking or thinking about trc .i am just going to go on with my life our house move our holiday and try to forget about this all. I am going to enjoy having sex with my husband instead of thinking if its the right time for it
Sod it i ve had enough of this obsessing ! If it happens it happens if not will be fine on our own Wink
Wish all
Of you ladies the best of luck on your journey

HankPeach · 15/06/2016 07:32

Ahh Nicky I'm really sorry to hear AF arrived. It is such a kick in the stomach. I'm really sorry you're feeling so low. Here's to moving into less stressed, positive phase though. Have you thought about acupuncture? A few of my chums swear by it after months of ttc.

SuchaJem · 15/06/2016 08:09

Sorry about AF Nicky Sad good luck with getting your bfp - come back and tell us when you do.

LovelyFishy · 15/06/2016 10:22

Sorry about AF Nicky. Your plan sounds great, go forth and have a great time! Can't wait to hear from you again when you do get your bfp! Grin

LovelyFishy · 15/06/2016 11:17

Gah! Guess who turned up as I was getting ready for work? No Italian stow-away for me, roll on cycle 11. Sad

WingingIt83 · 15/06/2016 11:33

Sorry she got you nicky and lovely Sad

nicky I hear lots of people end up getting pg naturally after effectively 'giving up' so I hope that happens to you too xx

Peaches8Posies · 15/06/2016 11:55

Been a bit awol, not been feeling great and had a family party on Sunday. Gave in and had drinks, life's too short to worry about every little detail! Hope everyones been well and managing to dtd Grin

nicky im just going with the flow, no Opks no temping, no nothing but dtd Grin there's only soo long you can you can obsess about this without out effecting every other part of your life. If you feel soo down then a step back maybe just what you need. Fx you get a lovely surprise soon x

snow Not long now fx for you for tomorrow Grin

I had a lovely blob of ewcm on Sunday mid party, and by Sunday night OH was soo burnt out from working all week/the party we nevery dtd. But I'm OK about it. Think I've got to that point where I seem to being worrying about everything little thing which is not healthy, so I'm boarding the what will be will bus. Might not last but I'm giving it a shot anyway haha
