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 thanks for putting the list out - its getting so long, glad the grads list is growing, just hoping I will make it there one day, it's like being a minor celeb!

snarky very well said, I think the stereotypes for male and female behaviour has so much to answer to, really hope if when we have a little one we can help to teach them that it's ok for boys and girls both to have feelings and complex relationships with the world. Or just be so happy we actually managed to create life we spoil them rotten and create a monster.

I'm still using Ovia, she hasn't been too bossy with me as yet but still finding her quite annoying. Decided to have a cycle off using the fertility monitor as I was getting a bit obsessive and have decided that it may have been saying I ovulate a little early and therefore stopping dtd over what may have been crucial times - or I'm looking for excuses for things which are down to chance.

Hope I get my bfp soon, otherwise if fishy gets hers with the kwik diet I might have to give it a go but I'm pretty lactose intolerant and think drinking whole milk might kill me worth it.

Nicky I have signed up to headspace for guided meditatons which I find is helping with the stress. I like yoga but struggled to find a class which was a balance of "hippy" and exercise so I like Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube - quite silly but free and starts quite beginner. Might be a bit controversial but with changing jobs and TTC I realised something was missing and have started going to a Quaker meeting - not sure if I will stick with it but think I wanted to try and be a part of something bigger - religion or community.

Thanks guys. Ok so sorry for tmi but AF was just some light brown spotting yesterday evening then last night and today so far nothing...what is my body doing now?! Argh! It must be too late for any kind of implantation bleeding...?! Confused...

HepKestrel · 30/06/2016 12:16

what dpo are you marmite ?
I do sometimes have AF that have a false start like that.

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 12:25

Hey hep I'm getting sorely tempted to test. My brain goes like this 'right, I'm going to test. No, it will be BFN, I'm going to leave it. Nope, I'm testing. Nope, I don't feel pg so I'm probably not, I will eat cheese and leave it alone. STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. Mmmm...cheese. No, I must be pg otherwise why would I cry about my cat being so cute? I'm testing. No, wait, I cry about that all the time, I'm not testing. Is it lunchtime yet?..... ' and so on and so forth for the last 5 days since I exceeded my previous record cycle length.
Perhaps we should just test, and then move on. I've got 3 baby showers and a birthday to prepare for!

marmite that's strange, I wish I could tell you what was going on!

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 12:25

emalady quakers? First I thought you meant the snack. Do let us know how you get on!!

HepKestrel · 30/06/2016 12:37

lol fx yes i feel similar !

I keep trying to think logically. Logically, I have been very stressed this month. Logically this can cause a long cycle. ahhh.... Fuck Logic,

SuchaJem · 30/06/2016 13:41

I'm having a proper schroedinger today. Keep feeling light headed , instantly get excited, then remember that I haven't actually ovulated yet this month. Hmm

A long mental TWW coming up ...

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 14:14

omg jem I am the worst with the dizziness!! and every time I forget something, and everytime I feel bloated, hungry, not hungry, need a wee...etc etc etc. Logic? I don't even know what this is any more.

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 15:28

SOMEONE HELP ME I POAS (an ovulation one) and the test line came up way darker than the control line immediately so I freaked out and ran away now I think I need to POA(real)S someone please talk some sense into me. Am I ovulating on CD44?? Someone please tell me that can happen WTAF????

nicky883 · 30/06/2016 15:30

Fxslip take a deap breath ! Did yoi get a positive opk this cycle before ?dont want to get your hopes up but i heard that sometimes people get positive opk after ovulation when they are pregnant !
Go get yourself a frer and try again ! Fingers crossed for you !!

HepKestrel · 30/06/2016 15:38

fxskip a dark line on the opk could be ovulation, pregnancy or your AF is on its way.

frer with fmu tomorrow morning.

hang on in there till then Flowers

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 15:44

Thanks Nicky I am sitting at my desk, heart pounding. I wasn't testing with OPKs because I am lazy, plus I was away on holiday when I was in FW (4 weeks ago). I think I will test tonight, I'm steeling myself for disappointment though!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/06/2016 15:46

Yep, Deffo agree with hep here, its a surge of hormones but can either mean ovulation, pregnancy (as it doesn't recognise the difference between lutenizing hormone and hcg) or that af is about to arrive. Deffo do a frer tomorrow, got all my fingers crossed for you!

Still here, reading and cheering you guys on but I Deffo think I should hand over the official title of thread starter to jem the keeper of the lists maybe?

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 15:52

Oh thanks Hep I didn't know it could mean AF was coming! That has made me feel much better.

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 15:53

starky!!! good to hear from you! I just want to know now so will deffo keep you posted!!

HepKestrel · 30/06/2016 15:55

what happened to your blog starky you still posting?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/06/2016 16:05

I sort of stopped actively posting on the blog, more because I felt like I was being daft posting about pregnancy when I knew nowt about it and have had such an easy ride of it in comparison to a lot of ladies, if that makes sense? Confused going to pop a couple up soon to catch it up as it were!

hep I think I am about 14/15 dpo. God knows what's going on, AF has not started again. Maybe my body doesn't even know how to do that anymore??!Hmm

Peaches8Posies · 30/06/2016 17:40

Haha I knew it! skip you'very nailed it!! Woo hoo your having a BABY!!! congratulations Grin

FXSkip · 30/06/2016 17:41

Thanks guys. I sat shaking for a bit then phoned my mum. I'm cautiously over the moon!!!

marmite I totally feel your pain - our bodies are the most confusing things in the world!

I still feel like AF is going to start any minute so I'm just going to chill here like today hasn't happened. I'm not telling Ovia either, she can do one.
