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!

Congratulations Skip! I am still lurking about, but not sure what to do here once upduffed.

Had my 12 week scan and it finally look like there's an actual baby in there!!

FXSkip · 01/07/2016 12:14

Hi mayago waves like a lunatic I feel like there should be a pre-grads thread for us in limboland!

fishy I wish we could answer your question, your best bet is surely just to keep dtd when you can for max success chances!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 01/07/2016 13:01

I'm 19+2 jen and have just got a bit of a gut in the morning but my mid afternoon/evening i should probably accept it's a bump. Just getting into looking at prams and thinking about what colour to decorate and shut, which is weird. It's never stopped being weird yet!

I'll start the next thread and will keep posting but I feel like I'm hardly posting anything and therefore don't deserve to be thread starter etc! Grin

Just running in in the middle of work so I have to be quick, but just wanted to say a huge congrats to you Skip! So happy for you - it's fab to see a BFP! Flowers

Am currently starting the DILRW - tons of EWCM this morning so time to start things off again. Grin Hep - hang in there, it must be so frustrating but we're with you. xx

HepKestrel · 01/07/2016 14:16

thanks kav - have lots of fun dtd WinkWinkWink

am off on a long-haul flight for work trip for a week starting tomorrow...... that must be surefire way for AF to arrive?

my focus - low stress and good food.....

I do like the grads swinging by !

snow where are you ???

FXSkip · 01/07/2016 15:38

yes Hep my last one started on a long-haul flight - not amazing but at least you can just have the cabin crew bring you wine.

Thanks so much kav good to see you again too Smile I'm thinking I'll head to grads thread after my 8wk appt, provided everything goes well until then. So I'll keep lurking here for now, thanks to all for making me feel welcome!

InspectorPenguin · 01/07/2016 16:04

Wow, almost 20 weeks Stark, that's happened quickly!

Can't believe how rubbish this weather is - apparently it was 37 degrees this time last year! I am going to get very wet at an outdoor wedding tomorrow but we're on holiday after that so I can't moan too much. Fingers crossed we see some bloody sunshine.

I think I'm about 12 DPO now (assuming I did, actually, ovulate) and 100% certain I'll be going into cycle 5. I have absolutely no symptoms at all, except the usual mild pre-AF cramps. Been feeling quite grumpy about it all today too which is probably another sign she's on her way...

Bit despondent I haven't seen any EWCM for months, or felt any OV pains, but at least I can get things moving at the docs soon if nothing happens.

Anyway, once I've got this work done I am categorically going to say Fuck It and look forward to a fun, booze filled week ahead! That has cheered me up already!! Grin

SuchaJem · 01/07/2016 17:47

Blimey stark almost halfway! Things seem to move much faster in the world of grads. Glad it's all going well. Do pop by from time to time!

kwick · 01/07/2016 19:46

Sorry for AF marmite Flowers

nicky I find weeding helps me to relax Grin

fxskip not much going on this end... Just waiting for AF next week so can start IVF Hmm

Just boarded plane - so will post again later.

kwick · 01/07/2016 19:47

nicky yoga is fab too. You can get Yoga Nidra tracks to listen to - let me know if you want me to recommend some - it is "yogic sleep".

kwick · 01/07/2016 19:49

ema not surr it has to be milk - cheese would probably work or even better yogurt... Are they all problems too?

kwick · 01/07/2016 19:53

fxskip amazeballs!!!! Congratulations!!! StarStarStar

Ok have to stop - on runway!!!

LovelyFishy · 02/07/2016 08:10

Damn, opk has a definite line today. I was hoping I'd ovulated early as we'd dtd lots in the past few days. Now for the next few days DH and I aren't on compatible shifts, I'll be lucky if I see him till Monday!

marmitetoast1 · 02/07/2016 08:38

Tiny bit more brown spotting last night, nothing more. Didn't do a test this morning. Maybe will try another one tomorrow if still no AF. I think it probably a false start on the AF though, possibly my horrendously stressful week at work with interview and nightmare unprofessional manager have caused a delay to proceedings!

Wooo for ewcm kav!

Hope your flight is ok and you manage the low stress and good food hep!

I love a good wedding, inspector, hope you don't get wet!!

emalady · 02/07/2016 09:42

skip Yey! That's such good news! Congratulations! So very happy for you. Don't leave us just yet. Need the grads for hope!

Quakers is really nice, not often that you can just sit quietly with people for an hour, very calming.

kwik yoghurt and cheese are not as bad, trying to follow slimming world so limiting the cheese but eat lots of yoghurt anyway, maybe should calm it down post ovulation.

Starting to go a bit mad as last af was light. Feeling a bit sick and had weird low abdominal /vaginal pain sorry tmi starting to wonder if I should test but more likely I got a bit of a bug.

HepKestrel · 02/07/2016 10:05

fx for you marmite and ema

Evergreen17 · 02/07/2016 10:26

7+3 is a boring place to be Sad
I am exhausted but can't tell people why
Constantly worried (although hearing the heartbeat the other day worked wonders)
Can't shop cute things
Can't eat lots yet as no excuse

Pretty much that

So tired

emalady · 02/07/2016 10:56

ever sounds a bit rubbish but not too long until 12 weeks and a scan, just over a cycle for those who are still ttc and you can start to tell people. Very exciting. No wine for you though which is sad.

Evergreen17 · 02/07/2016 11:07

Blush I know I know I know I Am very lucky and I dont want to sound ungrateful, but I think my hormones are all over the place (I have mental health history) and making me unable to appreciate it atm. I also didnt think it would be full of worry for the first 12 weeks and some ladies in my grad thread got bad news this week and all just a bit too much

Also all was a bit shocking after being told I wanst ovulating so just all a bit ConfusedConfused

Wishing lots of luck to the ladies here FlowersFlowersFlowersFlowers

Evergreen17 · 02/07/2016 11:08

Ema yes maybe the wine withdrawal is to blame

HepKestrel · 02/07/2016 11:29

Flowers Ever

try to relax and treat yourself.

emalady · 02/07/2016 11:30

ever Didn't mean that you should be more grateful, it must be really tough to get what you want but not be able to tell anyone and not knowing if you will get to keep it.

SuchaJem · 02/07/2016 14:10

Greetings inspector, hope AF stays away and this cycle catches you off guard!

Have a lovely holiday kwick.

Fishy if you've done lots DTD in the lead up then you're still in with a good chance

Marmite fx she stays away

Ema when is AF due? Are you testing soon?

SuchaJem · 02/07/2016 14:12

I think I'm 1 DPO. Got a positive OPK yesterday and felt quite crampy later on. We have DTD days 4,8,11,14,15,16...! I am saddle sore but hopefully have given it a good shot. Hoping cycle 7 is lucky for me!

emalady · 02/07/2016 15:53

Jem AF was only 19th June but was short and light. Did have a bfn the day before af. Pretty sure I just need to calm down. Planning on avoiding testing until I'm due again but if I keep feeling a bit sick I might use an Internet cheapie.
