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.

Thread 20 TTC #1 - We. Want. Babies.

So, I'm gonna go buy a first response test tonight. My mind is toying with the idea of just testing straight away tonight rather than waiting for tomorrow first wee. Thoughts?
I'm CD36 today. No idea of DPO and AF due. First cycle off Cerelle. No real signs of either apart from a little tender belly ache now and then. Before Monday I was having tummy ache every day. It's eased right off since Monday. 
Mouse - On the subject of testing with a Frer. It doesn't have to be first morning wee. Frers are so sensitive that they pick it up at any time of the day. My last pregnancy I used a Frer on 10dpo at about 8pm and the line was very clear. I will join you tonight testing if you wish
Glad the pain has subsided skipper yes we are very similar with our tests now 
I just want to crack on with it. Has your oh done his SA? Mine has to take his second in on Monday. I'm praying for a more normal morphology score.
Sorry about BFN binky 
Hello moose good to see you glad you are still with us. You are my cycle 11 inspiration! Let us know how the scan goes. Do you have many pregnancy symptoms?
Hello miw sorry about AF it is so shit 
other people need to mind their own business!
Oh bluebird that is rubbish, they don't get the poas heartache clearly. When is your appointment?
Day 8 today. Should probably start having some sex...
Hi everyone, that last thread got filled up quickly!
My stats:
Age 35 (for 3 weeks only )
TTC#1
Cycle #8
CD12 of a likely 35ish.
Testing 13th Nov if no AF by then.
Came off Microgynon after 17+ years at the start of the year and have been having pretty long cycles since then. Using OPKs but not tried temping and don't intend to anytime soon. Never get any ovulation symptoms (besides positive OPKs) so hoping there is something going on inside me!
I went to the GP after 6 months (due to age) but he was very unhelpful, chucked me out and told me to come back in the new year.
However, I have news! DP had worked with the hospital fertility consultant before and emailed him for some advice and to see if we could self-refer. He immediately emailed back to invite us to his clinic (confirming that our GP should have started us on tests) and so we are going next week. Very happy!
Alexia very sorry to hear about your granddad
Sorry to those who have had AF arrive, or are in limbo, and FX for those of you with promising signs.
Very pleased to hear all going well so far Moose. Best of luck today - please do let us know how it goes.
Skipper I'm glad to see you're feeling much better now. It sounded awful! Sod's law that it all happened during your holiday too. Sounds like fab news on all the tests happening so quickly though.
Hep that is great news about the changes you're seeing in resting HR already, well done! Are you going to be doing any ParkRuns? They're fab for getting used to the 5k distance and the community spirit is wonderful. You get all your times recorded online too so it's great for seeing your improvements over time and there are plenty of people that walk the whole course, or walk/run so no-one feels left behind. How are the new trainers working for you?
Hope everyone has a good Friday!
Hep - so glad your c25k is going well, definitely worth while sticking to it not just for the obvious improvment in your physical conditions but its a lovely mental distraction too.
Moose - how did you scan go? Do they give you results there and then or do you have to wait?
Miw - sorry , I don't think anyone on here will judge you for seeing a Clervoiant, many of us are at the stage of tyring everything and anything.
Jem - SA was this morning. The hospital was heaving and he only just got it to the path lab within half an hour. What were the results of your first SA test?
Penguin - wow, nice one regarding your referral for tests! Another prime example of - its not what you know, it's who you know ;)
I've just noticed that my ultrasound has an internal part to it...I'm a little worried as it will be on CD3 and my period is so, so heavy. Is that okay do you think?
Hurrah! Thrilled it's all going well moose that's wonderful news thanks for sharing xx

inspector ha! i think i am weeks away from being ready for a park run!
week2 is alternating 90sec run, 2min walk. For now i just go to the gym (attached to work so cheap) straight after work. The hardest part for me in the past is getting into the habit of exercise. am going again tonight.
But i will be healthy, and i will be able to handle my stress and anxiety better ..... equally important for me and for me the best practical thing i can do to help ttc. well..... other than
my caffeine intake is probably 1-3 cups a day, so not too bad.
jem our appointment is 14th nov. when is yours?
Congrats moose. That's a beautiful blob!
