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!

Oh my goodness!!!! ANOTHER BFP!!

And a good strong line at that!!!!!!!

Smile Congratulations!!!!
TryingToBeZenKestrel · 12/08/2016 18:46

Thanks !

after the negative blood test in July, i honestly thought my digestive issues could be done to menopause (seriously - there is a huge f**king overlap in symptoms) .... but a rapid change in bra size ....

so i must be at least 12 weeks?

(my timing so was so poor (missed ISW entirely).... and last AF so short ... that i even think i might be 16 weeks Confused).

now i get to panic about the wine i drunk after the blood test, and the seafood and everything else i shouldn't have eaten/done..... Blush

marmitecheesetoast · 12/08/2016 18:48

Oh my goodness hep/zen!!!!!! Grin massive congratulations that's fantastic!!! How far along are you then do you think?! When was your last AF?! Super congrats

Here comes the rain dance shower of bfps!!

marmitecheesetoast · 12/08/2016 18:50

Oops cross posted. Don't worry, a few glasses of wine won't have caused any problems, it's not like you've been necking a bottle every night. Get yourself to the GP and see what they've got to say!!

TryingToBeZenKestrel · 12/08/2016 18:54

last AF was 19th May, but it was shorter/lighter than normal..... say 75% of normal AF?

I already can't wear my belts on their normal holes (you put weight on in the middle for menopause ..... another helpful overlap of symptoms....)

so really want a scan to know for sure !

have first appt booked for next week.

Si1ver · 12/08/2016 19:04

OMG hep that's so a line. How wonderful and weird. I'm so pleased for you.

Try not to worry about the things you've eaten and drunk. You've boot had food poisoning everything will be just fine.

LondonJem · 12/08/2016 19:26

Omg!!! Another bfp??!!! This is amazing!! Congratulations hep that's bloody fabulous! Have you not had any symptoms then?!

Woohoooooooo another one StarStarStar

AlexiaB · 12/08/2016 19:29

I had to pop back in to say OMGGG HEP!!!!!!!!! ShockShockShock I'm in shock but so so happy for you! This is amazing! You need a scan immediatelyGrin

Ps. sorry I left for a bit but I sadly had a mc so I took some time away to deal with it. I was still stalking on and off.
Congrats to the new BFPs marmite and live and I'm so very sorry Skip.

TryingToBeZenKestrel · 12/08/2016 19:36

Early on I had burping and heartburn. That's about it. Zero boob change I noticed.
In the last 4 weeks (after the blood test), constipation, bloating, and in the last week really tender boobs!

The bloating really meant my stomach was going in and out so much it almost felt bruised.

This week, backache and it is very uncomfortable to bend forward.

Perhaps I should have tested earlier, but my blood test was only 4weeks ago. 99.99% accurate...

TryingToBeZenKestrel · 12/08/2016 19:38

So sorry Alexia

And thanks everyone!

marmitecheesetoast · 12/08/2016 19:52

Alexia so sorry to hear that Flowers hope you are getting good support in real life. Hugs.

LondonJem · 12/08/2016 20:36

Sorry to hear that alexia , hope you are alright, look after yourself.

Hep I'm looking forward to hearing how far along you are. That's nuts!

AlexiaB · 12/08/2016 20:43

Thanks everyoneFlowers

I can't wait to hear how far along you are either Hep!!! Could you go to the epu tomorrow or something?

TryingToBeZenKestrel · 12/08/2016 21:11

I have appointment at local maternity outpatients clinic on 20th Aug. Earliest appointment available. I'll keep you posted! Not sure I'll have scan on this 1st appointment.... Think they will do the best to "catch me up" though.

Apparently you are meant to have the first appt at 8-9weeks, and then the 12 week scan.

liveforthefight · 12/08/2016 23:06

That is such great news hep, and would be lovely if you were so far along!
alexia really sorry to hear about your mc, they are so horrible to go through and do really knock you for six. Hope you're taking it easy.

InspectorPenguin · 13/08/2016 00:23

Amazing news! Congratulations Hep! What a brilliant story, we'll all be desperate to know what they say at your appointment!

Maybe that dream I had about seeing 'Pregnant - 12 weeks' on a Clear Blue digital test was a premonition about this! Shock

kavanaughkj · 13/08/2016 02:21

Omg Hep, that's amazing! I can't believe it didn't show until now! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Grin Flowers Cake what fantastic news :-D must be something to this rain dance after all!

kwick · 13/08/2016 10:29

Oops fell off thread again!

marmite I would do what jem suggested. There is still plenty of time to get a dress once you are ready to tell. I would not suggest lying - it us a bit hard to hide a baby!

Right on to next page...

FXSkip · 13/08/2016 11:01

hep/zen I knew it!!! I'm so massively chuffed for you such amazing news!! I am so glad for you after that massive headfuck of neg bloods and a 70+ day cycle Grin

alexia I am so sorry, if you want to talk about it please feel free to share, sad to see you back here nonetheless but welcome back xx

kwick · 13/08/2016 11:07

Such good advice fxskip here is a kwick Cake Wink

LovelyFishy · 13/08/2016 11:23

Congratulations Hep!!! GrinFlowers

Sorry to hear about your mc Alexia, we're all here if you needed and wishing you the best. FlowersBrew

Marmite you have to keep us update on how things go this weekend!

kwick · 13/08/2016 11:47

Okay back on to phone as hard to write epic posts on ipad

That is so annoying lovely about SA... Maybe be worth it to ho private to speed things up?

kestrel you are ALWAYS welcome! Take care darling.

Welcome art!!!

Praise the Lord! starky is back! Please do not stay away so long again!

alice yay to reverse pscycology - which I cannot even spell!

live is you have no symptoms I this you are polycystic rather than having PCOS Hmm

peaches sorry to hear you have been having a tough time Flowers

pug I was put on Metformin to help weight loss and it really helped but then the tablets started to make me feel really unwell so I stopped taking them... And carried on getting fatter Sad

Some of the forbidden foods thing is due to risk of toxoplasmosis. I should imagine most women in Spain, for example, have already had it before they TTC as it can be found in cured meats, but as it can be very dangerous if caught in pregnancy so best to avoid. I have had no chorizo, jamon serrano and so on since September 2015... We even did not get the whole piggywiggy leg for Christmas last year...

hep I am so pleased for you! Congratulations! StarStarStarStar I cannot believe you thought you were menopausal!!!

alexia I am so sorry about MC Flowers how are you doing?

FXSkip · 13/08/2016 11:49

Thanks kwick is that the first one?! I'm honoured anyway!

kwick · 13/08/2016 11:49

So ladies I actually baked a cake today - and it is delicious (and so easy to make). I now feel completely equipped to award kwick Cake

AlexiaB · 13/08/2016 14:21

Thank you all for your kind words. What a lovely, funny and supportive bunch you areSmile

I was still in limbo-land until around cd58 when I started spotting. I wasn't too concerned and thought it was af starting, finally. Within a day or so it had turned into major cramping and heavy bleeding, it was agony. My DH took me to A&E and the rest is a blur. I was scared it was ectopic because of the pain but thankfully that was ruled out. It's hard because I didn't 100% know I was pregnant or get to enjoy it, so I feel weird mourning a loss. I know that's probably stupid. I wish I'd gone to a Dr sooner. I have a lot of regrets but I know there's nothing I could have done to save my baby. I'm physically ok now but the emotional side will take a while. Hate the fact I'm still TTC! I just have to try and stay positive and hope we'll get there one day very soon.

Kwick - any pictures of this delicious cake?
