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!

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty smitten...she's a girl called Greta. My little love. She's keeping me well and distracted away from this baby making malarky.

Anyone testing soon?

miwelaisjacydo · 04/08/2016 07:04

Blue just started TWW which is killing me. Was very chilled by it now need distracting.

How are we this morning?

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 07:46

So I did an IC on a whim this morning. Is this an Evap line? Came up within first minute but v faint, almost like indent? It's not a real line, is it?

Providing you didn't dig it out the trash can half an hour later and only see the line then I think that's a winner!! Grin

miwelaisjacydo · 04/08/2016 08:01

Winner winner chicken dinner

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 08:10

I'm kinda freaking out here a bit. Do you guys see the second line then?! It's pretty early I think, CD32 ~12dpo. Based on previous few looonnng cycles possibly not due AF til weekend/early next week.

Wasn't going to tell DH as I know he'd get all over excited but he walked into bathroom and saw it. And is now walking around like an over excited puppy Hmm it could be nothing. Will crack out FRER tomorrow morning...

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 08:20

Marmite cheese and toast!!! That's a bloody bfp!!! Well done lady and congrats!

Looking forward to full frer bfp tomorrow SmileSmileSmile

All the symptoms please?

LovelyFishy · 04/08/2016 08:26

Marmite 12 dpo sounds about right to get a faint bfp, and I can defiantly see it! Congratulations!! GrinFlowers

Purple we use Conceive Plus, it's in a little tube/bottle like any other lube. Obviously I can't say that it's been massively effective fertility-wise but I think that's just me!

In other news my doctors called me last night (I missed the call) leaving a message asking to call them. So of course by the time I call them they're closed and I spend all night worrying!! Just got through this morning, apparently I might have thrush, that's all. But I have zero symptoms. Hmm

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 08:26

Is it though?! I'm totally, totally, totally doubting myself. Argh!? Not sure how I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to test again! Kicking myself for not doing a second one while I had a cup of fm wee there!

No real symptoms jem just as I said yesterday, randomly felt lightheaded a few times last 2 days, but I am a fainter (low bp) plus quite gassy and a bit of an upset tummy Blush but that could be stress from work or AF. Plus tired, but I'm so busy at the moment, so nothing unusual there either. Hmm

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 08:28

Thanks lovely. Sorry just feel a bit mental. Don't want to get my hopes up!

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 09:17

Don't blame you for feeling very cautious but there's a second faint line - you are not seeing things Smile

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 09:51

Thanks jem, it's reassuring to know I'm not seeing things, and that its ok to feel wary too! We shall see what tomorrow morning brings...

I just remembered another potential symptom - I felt like I had to keep peeing on Weds night when I didn't really, it was after we'd dtd and I was worried I might be getting a uti but then forgot all about it.

I also just remembered I got pooed on by a bird the day before I ovulated this cycle, and we dtd that evening - maybe the bird shit made it extra lucky shagging! Grin

Mooseville · 04/08/2016 10:18

marmite that's amazing!!!!! Looking forward to seeing that FRER tomorrow! I can defo see a line and I'm RUBBISH at spotting them on the photos usually!

I'm now off to go stand underneath a tree awaiting bird poop!!!

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 10:27

Haha yes, guys forget the fertility rain dance, you gotta go stand under a tree and get pooed on!!!!Grin

kavanaughkj · 04/08/2016 13:02

I can see it too, marmite - early congrats! I remember Mum saying the first signs she had she was pregnant were some dizzy spells. :) Looking forward to seeing the FRER tomorrow, and hopefully this will break the drought and there will be more of us with happy news!

Knackered here today, and in the start of the TWW. I don't think I'm tired due to a potential pregnancy, have just been burning the candle at both ends too much. Would give a lot to go home and snooze right now!

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 13:12

Bird shit it is. Do your worst pigeons!

purpleladybird · 04/08/2016 13:35

marmite that looks very promising. Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the Preseed/conceive plus info. I am embarrassed to admit I've never used lube before so not sure what to expect but going to give it a whirl.

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 14:50

Haha jem! The standing under tree ritual must begin just before Ov due, perhaps naked, at midnight, while chanting to the pigeons Wink

How is it only 2.45pm? I don't know how much longer I can last at work now today can't focus. Do you think any point at all doing a Frer when I get home? I know should wait til morning really but don't know if I can, and I have got 4 frers stashed! I just went to the toilets at work to prod my boobs. Nothing to report there.

purpleladybird · 04/08/2016 17:04

marmite Don't trust the boobs Wink

I'm impressed you went to the toilets - I've been known to engage in a public prod.

FluttershyStare · 04/08/2016 17:20

Room for a little one?

I'm 28 and about to ttc my first. I had my implant out two weeks ago, and AF was just ending.
I know obviously being on the implant it wasn't a "real" cycle, but today and yesterday after a wee I noticed these (tmi alert!) great big blobs of EWCM?!

What on earth! I had planned to use condoms this month and start next cycle officially, but from lurking EWCM means ovulation is imminent right?
Shall I throw caution to the wind and go for it, or keep my sensible head on and wait til next cycle?

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 17:33

Holy fuck.

Marmite no denying that one 😃 Congratulations.
Flutter hello welcome

InspectorPenguin · 04/08/2016 17:59

Yayyyyyyy! We have a BFP!! Star
So happy for you Marmite!!!

Have a fabulously happy and excited evening with your DP. This kind of thing is literally once in a lifetime so savour the happiness and put all the crazy worry stuff right to the back of your mind - for a few days at least! Grin

Woop woop!

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 18:09

Thanks guys! I know this sounds silly but feeling really weird about it. I guess I just didn't expect it to happen so soon (cycle 3 and with cycles still all over the place). Sorry I know that's not a great thing to say when lots of you have been trying for so long and desperate for a bfp. Just a bit of a shock!! Just waiting for DH to come home now...

Fx this breaks the dry spell and there are soon a showering of bfps from our fertility rain dance!!!
