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 too. No question is too daft. We have opk experts, temp experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

Yes good luck cycle 11-ers!
Jem - yes I'll be taking clomid again from cd3 (probably actually that'll be Saturday as no proper red flow yet today - still brown and not wetting the tampon - sorry tmi). But my NHS consultant (from fertility clinic where the GP refers you) wont change my dosage as he doesn't know I started last cycle Blush I might have mentioned last month, the clinic couldn't fit me in for my follicle monitoring scan so told me to postpone a month but I didn't want to wait so took the pills anyway and got a private scan! Not to be recommended but I did my research and took an educated risk. So as far as the NHS is aware, this month will be my first clomid cycle...

geeup · 26/10/2016 20:25

Ps skipper - we're so similiar. Not only cycle buddies but I also signed up for the clearblue trial! They sent me the papers but I've actually decided not to go ahead with it as I will find the storage and postage of the urine samples too tricky with my commute but was dying to see the fancy new opk system! You'll have to tell us about it if you're allowed. Not sure if that's secret though!

MouseLove · 26/10/2016 20:33

Hahaha. Sk1pper, I have my FX for AF f-Ing off for you. Stay away witch.

My temp chart is still hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Grin

Fabulous PMA skipper just what I needed Smile

I don't blame you gee I would likely have done the same. Hope this was a practice cycle and next one clomid will do the trick

Can't believe it's the bake off final tonight - and the last one! ShockSad

sk1pper · 26/10/2016 20:44

geeup - it does say in the pack not to discuss it on MN but I don't know what their problem is. Lol. It's just piss and ovulation sticks.

Mouse - glad you are seeing the funny side, it does look a little like a seismic chart. Youre possibly a 7 on the Richter scale. Seriously though, keep plotting - it will be useful when your cycle sorts it's life out.

Jem - in watching the final, didn't watch any others. I'm not hugely interested in baking but these guys have talent.

MrsG280516 · 26/10/2016 21:09

Thanks Sk1pper I'm actually really surprised to have had a "normal" cycle so quickly after coming off the pill.

Thinking of testing before we have a big family party to go to on 5th November, I'll be around 12dpo, is that a stupid idea? I'm going to try not to get my hopes up but also don't want to have too much to drink if I could be pg. Family will definitely notice if I don't drink!

AlexiaB · 26/10/2016 22:26

I think AF has started SadConfusedAngry I'm at a complete loss. I don't even care about not being pregnant at this point I just wanted to see my body ovulate. My body is obviously fucked post MC. I've had a 45 day anovulatory cycle followed by a 22 day anovulatory cycle. Arghhhhhhhh fuck fuck fuck Hmm

Oh no, so sorry Alexia. Bodies can be strange, hope it passes quickly so you can get on to the next cycle.

HepKestrel · 26/10/2016 22:43

Sorry Alexia

Si1ver · 26/10/2016 22:46

Evening lovelies, sounds like it's been all go round here while I've been away - you even moved home without telling me Sad

Alexia hope you figure out what's going on soon, that's got to be so stressful for you.

Sorry I've not been around for a while, work's been incredibly stressful, then I came down with acute bronchitis and as of this morning an additional kidney infection and UTI. Which meant a great conversation about how I could theoretically be pregnant, but probably wasn't, while the 12 year old doctor stared at me blankly before asking if I was telling her that so she'd test my urine samples for it at the same time as the infections. NO, I'M TELLING YOU IT SO YOU'LL TAKE IT INTO DIAGNOSTIC CONSIDERATION WHILE CHOOSING ANTIBIOTICS AND STEROIDS. Honestly it was like pulling teeth. Then she basically talked like I was definitely pregnant. So I cried all the way home like an adult.

FX for everyone testing this weekend.

Binkybunny13 · 26/10/2016 22:51

So sorry Alexia Flowers

YouOweMeATenner · 26/10/2016 22:56

Sorry alexia Flowers

Starmist · 27/10/2016 07:04

I'm so sorry Alexia SadFlowers is it worth a trip back to the doctors?

Sorry you're having a tough time Skipper Hope you can shift these infections soon. What a horrible experience with the doctor, no wonder you were upset.

Starmist · 27/10/2016 07:05

Oops I meant Silver not Skipper. So sorry, clearly I'm not fully awake yet Halloween Blush

EJ2009 · 27/10/2016 07:13

Alexia - big hug

Sk1pper - i was expectibg af but she still suprosed me by being a day early and heavier than normal.

I need to work out sharing my temperature chart as i think i might have a problem looking at how up and down my second half temperatures are.

MouseLove · 27/10/2016 07:37

EJ if using FF click share which is above your graph. Then custom screenshot. Then email image. Gives you a nice clean image in your email without needing to screenshot and edit. Or you can just screenshot and then crop it in settings. To attach you press the paper clip.

Musicgrrl · 27/10/2016 08:09

Oh Alexia I'm so sorry, that is incredibly frustrating. And you are not being selfish at all! We're all here to support each other when things like this happen. I'm just glad that your body got this cycle out of the way in 22 days, not 45 like last time. Hopefully things are sorting themselves out and your next one will release a nice egg Flowers

Musicgrrl · 27/10/2016 08:13

silver you sound as though you're in the wars! Hope you are able to rest up and recover. Will you be testing at the weekend? I truly don't get how clueless some doctors seem to be! It isn't very reassuring...

HepKestrel · 27/10/2016 08:44

Flowers silver

LondonJem · 27/10/2016 09:04

How incredibly frustrating alexia SadI hope it's third attempt lucky and you now ovulate this cycle. Hang in there hon Flowers

Feel better soon silver that sounds awful!

kwick · 27/10/2016 09:14

Sorry about baby bomb music your time is just around the corner - it is not as though by someone else having a BFP that you are less likely to.

MrsG280516 · 27/10/2016 09:38

Morning everyone. Finally got my crosshairs on FF... 3dpo now.

Anyone testing this week? I think we're due some more BFPs

YouOweMeATenner · 27/10/2016 10:15

MrsG you and I have sort of coincided with ov'ing, I'm hoping my cross hairs show up tomorrow.

I've already started imagining sore boobs and slight cramping. This is going to be a long 2ww
