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!

Wow kwick that's exiting 🤓

HepKestrel · 28/08/2016 18:07

yey kwick !!

Mooseville · 29/08/2016 16:16

Great news kwick

AF arrived here, a good few days early on day 24! Still at least now I can crack on with the next cycle. Going to OPK again this month and try and put a concerted effort in since the last two cycles have been a bit lacking in the DTD sense. Now just need to make sure we get DP firing and without stage fright!!

Hope everyone's had a lovely bank holiday weekend.

kwick · 29/08/2016 20:23

Sorry for AF moose Flowers maybe you should try reverse psychology and tell your DH you have decided to become celibate? Hmm

marmitecheesetoast · 29/08/2016 22:54

Hi all just checking in after a weekend away with family with very patchy mobile signal! So glad to be home and no longer having to pretend I don't feel nauseous/just want to lie down!

That must have been hard need to get bluebird Flowers but to echo what others have said now you are on the right path to get the little helping hand you need to getting yourself upduffed!

Sorry for AF and that you're feeling down alice ChocolateWine

Looking good on follicles and allotment haul kwick!

All going ok here thanks inspector I've got an early scan on Thursday so feeling excited/anxious about that. Trying not to convince myself they'll find nothing there anymore.

DH is telling me off now as supposed to be having an early night - sorry to anyone I've missed still reading through! Hope all ok!

miwelaisjacydo · 30/08/2016 08:29

Hope you enjoyed your time with family marmite despite the feeling sick.

Good luck today kwick.

Had a wobble yesterday as I feel like I will never be pregnant ever. Really got me down.

bluebird3 · 30/08/2016 10:32

Thank you for all the support everyone. Inning holiday at the minute so have had a few days off MN to clear my head. Feeling a bit better about it all and trying to get my head around the fact this will take awhile but it's far from over. Will be nice to have a fertility referral buddy lovely!

kwick such good news about your little follies and lining. Fx everything is perfect at your collection today. So excited for you. When will they put them back in?

miwe we've all been there and know how you feel. Take care of yourself and think of kwicks PMA. Flowers

hep really excited for you to hear your little baby's heartbeat on Friday. That will be amazing.

Sorry AF got you Moose

jem I have thought about doing some private tests but DH is against it. He's an NHS doctor and thinks protocols are there for a reason and there are a lot of people who take up to 2 years to conceive naturally and there's still a chance, blah blah blah. Once we've got the 2 year mark (April) he might be more willing.

Sorry for those I've missed! FlowersFlowers

HepKestrel · 30/08/2016 11:08

Flowers miw and bluebird Flowers

I am looking forward to friday .... well with some nerves ! I don't think I will actually believe it until i sees it IYKWIM? After all my symptom spotting when i wasn't pregnant, i am now pretty much symptom-less (apart from sore boobs). I don't feel pregnant at all ! I shouldn't complain, as some of the graduates are suffering badly with morning sickness

After failing to get enough blood on my booking appt, i had another blood test last week.... just found out that due to a problem with the labelling it was rejected (ok, i do understand they have to be careful), so i now need another blood test as well !!!

hope everything goes well kwick!
friendly warning kwick : apparently you are meant to do gardening wearing gloves? I hate wearing gloves ! (unless fighting brambles or nettles!) completely forgot yesterday ! - bad hep.

Our courgettes are coming to the end, but so many blueberries !!! yum!

sorry for AF moose.

LondonJem · 30/08/2016 11:21

Sorry about AF moose, here is to a better cycle with DH. I wonder if a beer or two would chill him out? Not so much he can't perform, but enough to take the edge off his performance anxiety?

Hugs miw how long have you been trying? It's easy to lose hope at times.

Glad you're feeling a bit better bluebird that's understandable re your DH. My best mate is an NHS obstetrician and is very much of a similar mindset.

Good luck with scans hep and marmite, hope everything progressing normally.

Day 14 here and got all the EWCM, no positive OPK yet but DH is very much with the programme and not going away this week so I feel like we can give it a really good shot. Not that that guarantees anything! Hmm

kavanaughkj · 30/08/2016 14:08

Posting and running, things are manic here at the moment with having to hand over before going to new job. I'm on 2 DPO at the moment with a positive OPK on Saturday - had acupuncture Sunday and dtd a couple of times around the right spot. Now it's just attempting not to go bonkers during yet another TWW. I'll be due to take a test 12 September. Had a lovely relaxing time though out at the sushi meal (sooo yummy and guilt free knowing I wasn't pg) and went cycling yesterday, so I ache a tad now.

Flowers to miw and Alice - you both sound like you need it! I think we've all been where you are and sympathise.

Good luck Friday Hep! I'm 37 too so I'm particularly happy when another over 35-er proves it can be done _. and kwick, hope the collection goes well. :)

miwelaisjacydo · 30/08/2016 15:06

Thanks for the kind words erm lstarter trying last September for like 3/4 months. Then DH has problem with a cyst and his tubes which had to be looked into so we stopped and started again last month. I have wanted a baby for years but DH said wait until we had a house. So it feels like we have been trying for years even though we haven't IYSWIM.

Bluebird glad your feeling better.

Hep- 3rd time lucky for bloods?

kwick · 30/08/2016 15:08

miw your time will come my lovely Smile

marmite I know you do not want to hear this but feeling sick is a good sign Grin

hep not sure I understand blood issue but what a bugger!
I tend to wear gloves when weeding but not when watering... Hope that is okay Confused yesterday we found a toad family under our rubbish pile... Hope they found somewhere else to live.

kavan if you get sushi from a chain you can still eat when upduffed - they freeze the fish which kills the nasties.

They got 1 egg Grin I will hear tomorrow if magic potion has done its job... Embryo transfer could be any day from day 2 to day 6 - today is day 0. I have told work I am staying put in London this week. Feeling not so great - gonna rest up today.

Ladies thanks so much for all the warm wishes - very much appreciated.

HepKestrel · 30/08/2016 15:31

kwick look after yourself for the next week ! lots of relaxation and pampering.

(I also have visions of you upside down a la phoebe from friends Blush)

think we are all fx for you !

AliceScarlett · 30/08/2016 15:44

Good luck Kwick Flowers

LondonJem · 30/08/2016 17:15

Mooseville · 30/08/2016 20:02

Good Luck on Friday hep We'd still like to see pictures over here - gives us hope! Well it does me anyway!
