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!

justhereforthepoos never say never. My mum took 3 years to fall for my brother and 13 for me. It can be done. I'd say get on with those plans you want to do, enjoy life and your husband and you never know what might happen.

jem sorry AF got you, but you're a step closer to that fertile window now!

DryIce · 22/05/2016 19:41

Thanks for the welcomes!

suchajem I'm afraid I'm such a newbie, does that mean i should test then or that it's wait and see if I don't get my period? Should be about the end of May.

Sorry to everyone who hasn't got what they wanted this month. Hope it's now your time! I am sure I will soon be asking your wisdom

And whoever said game of thrones, yes love it. Can't wait to see new ep tomorrow!

Pugmummy87 · 22/05/2016 20:15

Welcome all newbies.

Nowt going on here. Between 9-12dpo today. I don't feel any different. No symptoms, not even any of my usual AF is impending symptoms. I have a feeling it's going to be another long cycle again....

bluebird3 · 22/05/2016 21:53

Have eaten so much Chinese food I think my stomach is literally exploding inside me....

Uuuuhhhhhhhjjjj.......

KatOnATinRo0f · 22/05/2016 22:35

Hello everyone :)
Look! A shiny new thread!
I promise I will try to keep up this month. I've really enjoyed reading all of this thread (the last one I got a bit 500 posts behind so couldn't catch up!

I'm Kat
Age 29 (only just... Still clinging on to my birthday month)
TTC 1
Cycle ? 9 or 10, I forget.
AF due this week some point. I might but some more cheapy Amazon OPKs this time

marmitetoast1 · 23/05/2016 07:49

Morning all, still sign no of AF here! Kwick - I'm deploying your white pants strategy! - have been wearing scaggy old pants for the last week, today I've put on one of my favourite nice pairs to see if that tempts her!! It's only day 33 so I know it's not that long, it's just the fact I've had lower back ache, period cramps feelings for a week now but nothing, it's putting me on edge!
Spent some of the weekend with DH's family. His sister has a 2 and a half yo and a 4ms - made me v broody but lots of nice cuddles! Hope all have an alright Monday!

kwick · 23/05/2016 07:55

justhereforthepoos umm Hmmwhere did your name come from??

dry to test or not to test.. That is the question... Whether it is nobler to suffer the... Alright, alright you get yhe gist right?
IF you can best to wait to miss AF before you start testing (and then I would strongly suggest you use a FRER). In terms of OPKs - buy the One Step ones online and then test 2-3 times a day from about day 9 (will depend on your cycle). That is if you want to know roughly when you ice.

kat how are you? Missed you!!

kavanaughkj · 23/05/2016 09:54

Welp, I officially have no clue what is going on with my body (but then when did I ever, I guess!) ... my temp chart now resembles no sort of pattern I can make sense of. Temps are back up highish again this morning when they'd normally just carry on going down if AF was coming. I don't have any AF symptoms (usually spots, greasy hair, cramps).

I'm wondering if FF got my ov date wrong. My OPKs were indicating I ovulated a day or 2 later than FF thought, which is partly why I was so peed off that I couldn't DTD a day or so later than I managed to - but if I did ovulate a day or so later, the dip yesterday would be in the implantation dip window. Confused I just don't know any more.

Still thirsty. Peeing a little less than I was. Still have more CM than usual though not by much. Really tired, a bit light-headed periodically and been getting stabby pains in the right boob, which I will not trust.

Is it Wednesday yet? I refuse to test until then (FF says I can if I ov'd early). Tested Sat and got a resounding BFN - my rationale was that I have a ton of internet cheapies so it's not like I'm spending much just to check, and I thought I'd be fine with a BFN as it was still early - truth is they always sting even if you know it's more likely than not to be too early to test. DH has been extra sweet though as I was majorly down yesterday which was lovely of him.

The white pants stratagem made me grin! AF is a proper cow, isn't she?

LovelyFishy · 23/05/2016 10:31

Welcome to all the newbies! Grin

Fx for you Kav, you have many promising signs! Really hope this is your month. Flowers

I'm having trouble with temping too. In fact I don't know if it's possible to do with my shift work. I physically cannot take it at the same time every day, and night shifts are posing a real issue!

HepKestrel · 23/05/2016 10:55

to add to the list of "weird things your body does".... I can't stop burping. getting silly now. Have had the burps for 4 days.

I'll blame kwick and her milk drinking Wink

..... i'm not lady like at the best of times Blush

Peaches8Posies · 23/05/2016 11:02

I've decided I don't trust my body anymore! All day Saturday and then Sunday morning I could smell everything, even to the point the smell of cooking my breakfast was making me quite ill. I had mild cramping feeling and im slightly bloated. All symptoms if I was waiting on a bfp. Spent most of yesterday afternoon turning my house inside out in a frenzied cleaning spree, stopping only to eat chocolate, a piece of cake then a chinese for dinner Confused. Hormonal and pissed off. At least my house is looking good Grin. OH well....

kwick I'm about 2 weeks post bleed hoping it doesn't become an epic wait.

kav i give up trying to work things out, fx crossed for you though.

I'm may need to deploy the white knickers strategy. I have a date night planned with OH this weekend, planning on taking him up on his offer to go shopping then dinner & drinks. Odds on af pops up right on time to spoil it......

bluebird3 · 23/05/2016 11:14

Fx for you kav and marmite and dryice

It's time for another Bfp!!!

Hope everyone is good. I'm 11dpo and had the tiniest amount of bleeding this morning. It's likely pre af spotting so I just have to wait for the witch to show her ugly face. I hate pre af spotting. Come or don't come but stop f-ing around!!! Grrrrrr...

emalady · 23/05/2016 12:36

Yey for the new thread. Hello all. All caught up now.
Ema
32
Cycle - not sure, trying since August but not "actively" the whole time as I moved job.
CD 6 put me down for testing on the 18th please!
Feeling much better than I was over the weekend, was a bit weepy but back being more sane about things now. Back on to the next cycle and trying to dtd every other day with opks, might try temping but not sure if it will work as I don't tend to sleep through very well.
Hope you are all managing to stay vaguely sane and no bitches have been cut.

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 13:21

Kav hang in there! Not long to go. Agree entirely that early IC bfns sting like hell too - I had a really low day last week as a result of one of these. Fx for you.

What stage are you at peaches, could this be pregnancy symptoms?

Ema I've put you down, that's the same date as me Smile

LovelyFishy · 23/05/2016 13:42

15th June is my bus ticket please!

Pigsbum · 23/05/2016 14:51

I've still not ovulated according to opk...Hmmfeeling like I might cut a bitch myself soon!

Pugmummy87 · 23/05/2016 15:11

Fertility friend is saying my temps are possibly triphasic. I've also felt mildly nauseous after eating today. Now I'm either 10-13dpo today. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be volunteering at a beer festival, so involving lots of alcohol.
All I have is an opk in the house, no frers or ics.

emalady · 23/05/2016 16:20

Jem hope we both have a better month than this one then!
pug with only negative opks I would be tempted to drink anyway but I'm kinda struggling to be positive. Could always get a test this evening?
Just had a couple of frer tests delivered. Hopefully will get a chance to use them. With even better luck might actually get my bfp.

Snowdog37 · 23/05/2016 16:30

Well af started so I'm on the June bus. Can I get a ticket for the 15th please? Getting my baseline blood tests and ultrasound this week and starting Clomid on Wednesday. Let's see how this cycle goes!

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 17:52

Think I'd probably have a beer or two but not any more myself pug, but then I'm trying to cut down generally this month. Fx for you - get yourself a test!

Sorry AF got you snow, feeling positive for you next month with your extra help.

Welcome nicky

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 17:55

How are you doing orchard?

Theorchard · 23/05/2016 18:44

Just dashing out, so quick update, but doctor was really kind, did blood test, and said I'm going back to see her whatever the result. Results will be in at the end of the week. Confused Grin she doesn't think it likely I'm pregnant, but said it is certainly possible, especially given the symptoms. Which is what I was expecting her to say. So still waiting!

SuchaJem · 23/05/2016 19:41

Eek! Fingers crossed. Is it not showing up on tests then?

Peaches8Posies · 23/05/2016 20:04

Fingers crossed orchard you never know.

snow hope clomid is what you need.

pug can you get a test before you volunteer? If it's a bfn which a really hope it's not, you could indulge in a bit of tasting. Fx though.

jem definitely not upduffed. I want a period before I try again. But if I was trying this month I would seriously be considering peeing on a stick! Just shows you how or bodies can play tricks on us.....
