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!

Way to go marmite It's really bloody happening!!!!

Hello flutter Up to you, but we here try not to waste any chance so I probably speak for everyone here when I say get shagging!!!!

jem I'm due the 6th. No hopes again this month, feel perfectly normal and there just wasn't enough swimmers at the right time, although annoyingly there was fair bit of DTD - well on the only two days we were together during FW!

InspectorPenguin · 04/08/2016 20:49

Put me down for September 4th please!

liveforthefight · 04/08/2016 21:15

Jem I'm due on the 9th.

Marmite that's amazing news, congratulations!!!

marmite that's wonderful new. Grin How did your DH react? How did you tell him?

Flutter - Welcome. Now get shagging. Seriously. Hopefully you already are Wink

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 22:35

Thanks guys, hugs to you all! So nice to have you all here. Inspector your wise words really helped me calm down (a tiny bit) and panic (marginally) less, thank you. DH and I have been out for pizza to celebrate (well, if i can't have a glass of fizz!)
He'd spotted the suspect IC this morning purple so was already aware it could be. He phoned me three times on his way home from work but I didn't answer as I was sat panicking on the bathroom phone uploading photos to mumsnet as I didn't want to tell him over the phone but equally didn't want to speak to him and not say anything! So I met him at the front door with a big hug and the Frer! He's been grinning like a cheshire cat all evening.

I still feel like it's make believe. Maybe I will believe it more with another Frer in the morning? Was surprised how strong the line was on that Frer for 5.30pm and not even due AF yet though!

Jem that's insane seeing my name under that 'other' section of the list!

That's a nice fresh list, good luck for a spate of BFPs Grin

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 22:38

Hurrah lovely! Pizza sounds like the perfection celebration Smile

Now Can someone tell me what's going on please... CD 20 and had lots more stretchy fertile cm and two more positive OPK tests?!

Got my positive on Tuesday. I've had on and off rumblings in my left ovary region for a few days. Is my body just trying and trying to ovulate??

We DTD 10,11,14,15,16,18,19

Do we have to keep going?!!! 

marmitecheesetoast · 04/08/2016 22:46

Jem good work on the DTD!! It certainly sounds promising. I would dtd again tomorrow if you can summon the energy Grin

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 07:19

Guys, I did another Frer with fmu when I got up and the second line wasn't as strong as last night's Frer? It still came out as definite clear line, but last night it came up much stronger straight away. It's as strong as last nights now, but within the actual 3 minute window the line wasn't as strong as yesterday. Is a line a line or could this be a CP?

LondonJem · 05/08/2016 08:57

Not sure if it means anything marmite, do the hcg levels fluctuate? There is still a second line so hold onto that. I can google for you if you don't want to go there? X

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 09:01

Thanks jem. So glad I've got you guys here. Urgh. DH is now away for the whole weekend, talk about crappy timing. They kept getting stronger after the 3 mins. I know if you get bfn withinnthe window then 5 mins later there's a faint line it doesn't count, but don't know if a line already being there and then getting stronger after the window can be counted. I did two, all three look the same now.
Also, I puked this morning. Probably too early for preggo symptom through? Probably just the shock?!

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 09:03

They all look much the same now

LondonJem · 05/08/2016 11:45

They all look good! Yay to puking too - nice strong hormones Smile

kavanaughkj · 05/08/2016 11:51

Congrats marmite! What fantastic news :D Flowers So happy for you! It's been too long since our last bfp. :)

Jem, we are actual cycle twins. I think we're both on the same cycle and I'm due August 16th as well. Here's hoping we both get upduffed the same month (and asap!!)

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 12:32

Thanks guys. Going to try and calm down now. I have one Frer left so might do that on Sunday morning just to see. Going to feel strange with DH away this weekend and just this weird secret buzzing around in my head! I kind of irrationally feel annoyed at him for going away having fun while I'm left at home feeling totally cray-cray. I know this sounds literally ridiculous, but I just keep thinking, but how did this happen?! I guess I just didn't expect this to even be a possibility for a few more months yet!

I was looking at my dates this morning and am actually pretty sure we must have conceived the actual day I got bird shitted on! Grin Grin

I rang GP surgery and booked appointment with my doctor, I'm guessing that's what I'm supposed to do now?! I literally have no idea. I felt so prepared and armed with knowledge for the whole TTC bit but hadn't really allowed myself to think of this part at all and feel totally clueless and unprepared!

Looking forward to seeing the next wave BFPs, I feel sure there may be some soon!! Star

TiggerAlbyandMe · 05/08/2016 17:16

Can I join please? Hope that's ok...
TTC#1
Not really sure how many cycles as we stopped preventing April 2015, DP thinks we were just leaving it to chance but I read up/talked to people about the best time and aimed to DTD during that time in the cycle. Have been consciously trying around 3 months so am getting a bit concerned really but docs say they won't check anything until 18months!
Also we're going to Florida at the end of the month so now having to put everything on hold cos of this stupid zika virus! Angry
I probably would actually cancel if it wasn't so close!
Sorry for long post! Happy to be joining you all Grin

miwelaisjacydo · 05/08/2016 17:40

Hi tigger welcome am sure it will be ok in Miami.

InspectorPenguin · 05/08/2016 17:53

Aw, Marmite, it's lovely to read your news and feel the excitement bubbling through Grin.

I can totally imagine how frustrating it must be for your husband to be away though - it must be all you can think about right now and you'll be desperate to talk about it with him and he's NOT BLOODY THERE! Feel free to post here to offload as it's lovely to hear the new BFP stories and see how you're getting on. And now you don't need to worry about job applications! Yayyy!

Welcome Tigger. Best of luck with your TTC journey. I'm sure you know this but try, if possible, to DTD regularly throughout your cycle rather than just focusing on a specific few days. Have a great time in Florida!

LondonJem · 05/08/2016 18:08

Hi kav hurrah to being cycle twins - yes here is to bfps coming our way Smile

marmite bet the last thing your oh wants is to go away from you right now too! So true that all the focus now is on ttc. I cannot imagine for a second actually getting a bfp. I think I've accepted deep down that it will actually never happen and that all this trying is completely futile. I'm so in this loop, I can't imagine ever stepping off it!

Welcome tigger

I've got to go home and talk DH into yet more shagging now Hmm he's full of cold and flew back from Chicago overnight so I think sex is going to be the last thing in his mind. Wish me luck...

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 21:12

Exactly inspector, I just want to TALK/FREAK OUT with the only one person who knows about this and he's away on a bloody boys camping trip and doesn't even have any flipping phone signal! He did feel very bad about going jem, one of his friends has driven 250 miles though from down south so he couldn't not go really! The thing is if I actually had half an inkling it would be a BFP I probably would have chickened out testing til Sunday when he would be back! All I can say is thank god I've got you lovely lot to get me through the weekend as otherwise I would feel totally, totally alone!
Aw jem it must be so hard when you've been trying for so many cycles but I'm sure your time will absolutely come, maybe even this month!! Positive thinking SmileFlowers

Yes, no more job applications! Can't believe I spent all last Sunday and two evenings this week working my little ass off submitting applications though (they are soooo time consuming!)

By the way, definitely don't trust the boobs as mine still feel totally normal Hmm

Who's next to test?

marmitecheesetoast · 05/08/2016 21:14

Ps jem, hope you've managed to jump him! At the risk of sounding crude, maybe just hop on?!!Grin
