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!

Hep when I found out I was pregnant before m/c we were out for dinner with my friends, I kept pretending to sip from my wine and was pretty sure I was getting away with it when there was a power cut in the restaurant and as an apology the manager gave everyone a glass of champagne! I genuinely had to do the "God what's that outside the window?" trick whilst DP downed my glass!

Hep have had a bfp???? Feel like I've missed something! Or are you cutting down for ttc reasons? I've been trying to do that and not finding it the easiest!

Teehee, love that story Live!

Welcome Carolann!

Snarky that is such a cute puppy! I'm normally a cat person but I'd take him home!

Alexia I think I see a second line too. Fx for testing tomorrow!

Welcome all new posters, I hope this is a lucky thread :-)

jem put me down for 25th July

Jem No, I haven't had a bfp !
last test was cd44 bfn. but i figure at this stage I can't drink booze.

In order to reduce my stress, and "just in case" i am not drinking and have reduced caffeine also.

Does anyone else find with the tww they can be relatively normal for the first week and extra crazy for the second? >.

This is my fave article about the 2ww... Made me laugh www.babble.com/pregnancy/the-8-stages-of-the-two-week-wait/

Oh sorry I thought I might have spectacularly missed something - sorry you are waiting so long , hope you get clarity soon either way.

Jenny that link is soooooo true! I am in the bit where I had a mentally intense dream last night and am quite windy - so defo preggo at the min

Jenny is funny** and but also hotrible :( i really hate the 2ww such an emotional rollecoaster
Cd 22 here and feeling crunply like af is coming !
Last cycle i spotted from cd 23 until cd 25 brown spotting then af came at cd28 as usual ! Never had spotting before period before! what has happened to my very regular and normal cycle ? I blame stress !

On other news we are geting the keys to iur first house on friday so at least thats something good ;p

jem I am also at that stage and having really weird cramps so obviously I'm now convinced, but I've been swaying between definitely not and definitely am so will see where the rest of the day takes me

nicky that's very exciting - any decorating to be done? I have found interior design has been taking my mind off ttc!

That article did make me giggle Jenny!

Nicky we're cycle buddies! I'm also cd 22 with near-always 28 day cycles. I've got some light general crampy type feeling, but I'm sure I've had this before and it's been nothing! Swaying between yay and nay is mentally exhausting. I spotted for the first time a few cycles back, got my hopes up waaaaay to high. The AF after that did cause me to cry a little bit. But it's a legitimate sign which is what makes it all even more annoying!!

Jenny yes lots of decorating needed current owners have flower wallpapers and red walls eveywhere (!) i am more of a minimalist and white /grey enthusiast ;p
Thought i ll do some feng shui while am at it since i am doing all the accupuncture and staff :p
Lovely i only had mid cycle spotting last month right after doing a smear test so i am not sure if its bleed from that or not had cramps and all . Dont have any spotting now but feel crampy . I never see crampy as a good sign as i always associate it with af :p

Lovelyfishy we are also same age :p

Symptom question here. How long after ovulation should you continue to see ewcm?
I got lh surge Monday morning. Tuesday morning temp had lept up half a degree and ewcm. I assumed therefore I'd ovulated overnight on Monday. No EWCM Tuesday night, but more present this morning?

Here are my stats:
Kwick
Age: 41 I only admit to 21
TTC #1
I did 6 failed IUIs, got BFP on first IVF but sadly had a MC at 8 weeks. Now awaiting 2nd AF post MC so can start second round of IVF
I am footloose and fancy free - but have some top notch magic potion in the FC's freezer.

suchajem Hope you are feeling better. Very confused as to why they did not scan your womble?

fishy my fanjo has had so many internal scans she is a pro now! Vibrator like instrument is inserted, normally with some KY jelly and then they move it around. Can be quite uncomfortable but way better than a smear test.

starky what is badum schhhh?

wing thanks for letting me know about new thread (great job starky you do realise you can NEVER leave?!). Glad you got lots if shags in.

Welcome live!! So sorry to hear about MC - it is awful right? I am very scarred too but you have to be in it to win it!

alice way to go on not putting life on hold!!! Do not get clomid off internet! There are loads of other things you can try!

Welcome jenny!! Good luck on 2ww!

I am so sad to hear some of our grads have had bad news... This is such a rollercoaster....

Such a lovely doggy snarky!

You are so funny hep.. A romantic point you are so sweet!

alexia I am in suspenders here! Have fx for you and BFP (please use a FRER to test & let us know right away!!)

What a fcuker marmite - sorry about AF

Welcome carolann!! I have taken norethisterone as part of my IVF protocol. I will be taking again soon - it stops you from ovulating so I doubt you can get a BFP in the cycle you take it

LOL live!! My strategy was to announce to everyone I was off alcohol on an attempt to lose weight.

Oops sorry for epic post!!!

Sorry my War & Peace novel loaded twice

Teeheehee, like a vibrator. You do realise I'm going to look like a giggling fool when I have my scan done, right?

Haha kwick . Nice to meet you! So sorry to hear about your m/c (and yours live). Fx the next little beans are sticky ones!

I'm waiting for my FRERs to arrive from Amazon. I have one CBD in my drawer but I'm honestly too scared to use because I can't face seeing another 'negative'. I want to wait until Friday to give myself a better chance. Still no AF and I still feel very nauseous. I've also had very weird numbness in my hips and stretching pains since last night. I definitely don't feel normal but I'm petrified that witch AF is going to show up soon and ruin everything!

Thanks Kwick

I knew it stopped you having AF didn't know about the Ovulating, not too disappointed though only first try, well if I didn't ovulate then this cycle should be our first try

x

Alexia i am sure is hard but try to remain positive maybe occupy your mind until friday with a small project or somethingg like that !Did you ever had a bfp before ? If not enjoy it and try not to think the worst !

Epic post kwick! When are you expecting 2nd AF? Hope you don't have long to wait.

Womble scan - well they did a CT scan, which images all your internal organs. Said it showed nothing abnormal. I asked them to check my ovaries specifically they said fine.

I'm still not right, sent home from work as white as a sheet and still feeling faint. My head feels too hot and everything is a bit too bright and white, if that makes sense. God knows what is going on. I had a positive OPK on Friday - so I'm assuming it's too early for this to be pregnancy related

nicky that's a good idea - feng shui is definitely a good way to live your life! Decorating will definitely take your mind off things - I'm also a lot more minimalist!

alexia it's so horrible waiting! If you can try and find something distracting - even a good to series to binge watch!

Thanks girls. I've been obsessed playing a new app recently so trying to distract myself with that instead of googling things every time I go on my phone. DH and I work from home so it's good and bad for various reasons.

Nicky I'm also a minimalist! We renovated our place this year and white, grey, beige and black is about as adventurous as it got. Have fun!
