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 like it when the grads stick around. No question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

I want to see a gynaecologist so I can get tested for endometriosis. But I need to be referred by a GP to get it through my private health insurance.

AliceScarlett · 10/10/2016 13:27

Ah I can't see why not! Quick form, done.

AlexiaB · 10/10/2016 14:15

Welcome Eva :) Were you on the relaxed ttc thread? I think I recognise you. Sorry about he BFN, ugh.

That reminds me I forgot to say - welcome Bdiff

Eva30 · 10/10/2016 14:21

Yes I was alexia (although admittedly I was very relaxed)
Hope the tests go ok - let us know the results. What happens with SA test, does DH have to go to hospital and do his stuff into a cup?

Eva30 · 10/10/2016 14:22

Wasn't* very relaxed. Wish I was.

HepKestrel · 10/10/2016 14:25

welcome Eva !
i'll add you to my spreadsheet. all rants and tmi welcome here !

HepKestrel · 10/10/2016 14:26

kav, mabel, fxskip how are you doing?

BDiff · 10/10/2016 14:40

CD 43, do you think I should test again? Don't want to waste my money on anyone BFN but haven't tested in over a week and no sign of AF!

AlexiaB · 10/10/2016 14:40

Eva lol neither was I! That place died once almost everyone got a BFP within a month or 2.
Mine did his at Create Fertility. It didn't take long at all he was in and out within 20mins. He had to fill in a form and was then taken to a sample room with some magazines and a computer (which I told him not to touch, eww) Then he had to cum into a pot thing which he said was bigger than expected.

The results are taking longer than expected which is freaking me out!

MrsLoz · 10/10/2016 14:48

Hello everyone

Not had chance to reply for a while but been keeping up with everyone's news. Let's hope for lots of BFPs this week!

AF due tomorrow, had a bit of stomachache last night. Felt like I've been going to get a cold all weekend but it's not come out in full force yet and woke up this morning with a sore throat and felt nauseous all day.

Was tempted to buy a test at lunchtime but somehow refrained myself!

Not getting my hopes up this month as didn't DTD much in FW as I hoped!

AliceScarlett · 10/10/2016 14:49

Diff Why not. Might be pissing on a £5 note, might be a BFP, you are late, so. What cycle are you on?

OP posts:
AliceScarlett · 10/10/2016 14:51

Another day of watery CM here at CD20. I need to accept my cycles have no pattern. Last 3-4 cycles I've had 2 days of fertile CM max, I have no idea whats happening here. Maybe CM is all a lie. Who knows. Be interesting to see when AF shows up. Note to self - if you Ov on CD21 Alice, AF will be "late", don't go crazy while waiting.

AlexiaB · 10/10/2016 15:12

Results are in! I had to call them up and ask for the email (quite shit). Anyway it says at the bottom...

*Conclusions:

Normozoospermia. All parameters above the lower reference limits, therefore this sample is suitable for any form of treatment.*

Does this mean it's all fine? I literally can't interpret what the numbers mean just yet.

AliceScarlett · 10/10/2016 15:14

Means normal! Woo.

Looks good Alexia the results are all above/below the "normal" parameters so nothing wrong there.

sk1pper · 10/10/2016 15:29

Nice one alexia Grin bet that's a weight off your mind xx

MabelTheCow · 10/10/2016 15:41

Jem sending you massive hugs - be kind to yourself.

Mouse What a horrible situation for you family. Thoughts with you all.

Sorry to those who the witch got.

My reasonably irregular collision was due yesterday. I did not hold out real hope because of DH being poorly during FW but my boobs are literally in agony. I get a touch of tenderness normally but yesterday doing up my jacket hurt. I blamed this on wishful symptom spotting and putting on weight. This morning I decided since I had been a good girl I could POAS (or a cup in reality) I had a pack with 2 tests in. One had a damaged wrapper. I decided to do that one first because if it didn't work, I had the other one. It didn't work. It turned pink but the control line was a big massive squinter in itself. But ... I thought I could see something in the box. So, on to test number 2. I dipped and that beautiful first line appeared before the 20 seconds dipping was even up!!!!! I feel like I've won the pregnancy lottery, am so unbelievably excited. I can't wait to tell DH although seriously think he might not take it as well as I did.

FX for the next testers though.

MrsG280516 · 10/10/2016 15:45

Congratulations Mabel how wonderful for you!

sk1pper · 10/10/2016 15:57

Congratulations mabel - how long had you been TTC?

Always nice to get a BFP on the thread :)
