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!

First two bloods tests done :) was in and out in under a minute. My first ever blood test, and although I am terrified of needles - I gave blood last year to win a bet so it wasn't even a fraction as scary as that was. Feeling very positive and happy despite AF being here :)

Nicky883 · 28/10/2016 16:10

london You ll be pregnant by then :p PMA !!
Skipper which tests you had ? i think my gp didnt put any prolactyn on TSH tests just progesterone (day21) and FSH on cd3

sk1pper · 28/10/2016 16:34

One vial for CD2-4 bloods, and I had another vial for something else. One was in a gold tube and the other in a red, if that helps? I honestly have no idea.

Great new rule sk1pper Grin

Completely get the putting in hard work/still no baby you don't give up!

I guess in a way I am lucky - my cousin had to go down IVF route due to endometriosis issues, my other cousin adopted after his wife and him did multiple rounds of IVF so there is quite a lot of understanding en familie

Welcome kits! I am way behind on the posts but praying you will report back with a BFP as I get further along.
PS DONT TRUST THE BOOBS!!!!!

Sorry for af geeup Flowers

music LSFX!!!!

Very sorry ej Flowers

Great PMA sk1pper Halloween Wink

Alexia sorry about AF... I am still not right after MC - and that was back in April. If you are concerned though maybe have a private scan done before you are due to ovulate - so around day 12 or so - they should be able to see if any follicles maturing.

s1lver sorry you have been so poorly Flowers aren't GPs great like that? Halloween Hmm

CONGRATULATIONS kits!!!! Well done on your long awaited BFP StarStarStar!!!

Sorry for af sk1pper Flowers

kwick · 28/10/2016 18:26

sk1pper the scanners are used to heavy bleeders and fanjos and the like - DO NOT FRET!!!!

hep I hear you - my cycles are still not right and my MC was back in April. But they will come right and yours will too. Have you thought about trying acupuncture?

My AF finally arrived this morning - sorry may have said this already - I am so fricking tired I just want to get home but have a 2.5 hour flight and then an hour's drive home before I can get to bed...
Anyway I have baseline scan tomorrow morning.

Also hep have you tried white knickers approach?

Sorry ej Flowers

kwick · 28/10/2016 18:29

Binkybunny13 · 28/10/2016 18:34

Oh kwick feeling for you Flowers Hope the journey is ok and thinking of you tomo

Knicker watch update- TMI but think AF has just arrived- despite spending an age in the shop earlier just staring at a babygrow, am pleased to be out of limbo now. 9 days late! WTAF?! Anyway, at least now I can roughly plan our plan of attack for next cycle (please let that be my lucky one!)

Hope all have good weekends Wine

kwick · 28/10/2016 18:41

sk1pper · 28/10/2016 18:59

Binky - sorry about AF, I love looking at baby clothes and fantasising. Why do we do it to ourselves?

Kwick - safe trip and good luck for tomorrow xx

harrietm87 · 28/10/2016 19:40

I was going to do a warning announcement but no point really. Please tell me this is more than spotting and I'm not going crazy? apologies if I've made you throw up, my body is screwed up

MouseLove · 28/10/2016 22:54

Alexia, that isn't spotting. When is AF due? When was the last time you POAS? X
Sad

LondonJem · 28/10/2016 22:57

Looks like clotted blood?

AlexiaB · 28/10/2016 23:08

Mouse I'm definitely not pregnant. My cycles aren't predicable atm so I was actually still waiting to O before this bleeding. I'm either on cd24 or cd3. It's lighter than AF but much more than spotting. I'm obviously broken Sad

OP posts:
MouseLove · 28/10/2016 23:10

If you have an OPK pee on it just to make sure. X That's certainly a lot of clotted blood.

AlexiaB · 28/10/2016 23:18

I did one yesterday and it was very negativeConfused I'll see what my temp does in the morning. Goodnight X

OP posts:
sk1pper · 28/10/2016 23:39

Alexia - thats much more than spotting, the clots suggest your womb lining has broken down so I'd say it's AF. Could it be lighter because your hormones are out of whack and your lining isn't as thick as it would usually be? Hope you're ok xx
