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!

Thank you girls so much for everything yesterday when I had a meltdown and today 
I'm in tears. How? I only tested because I've felt so sick and my temp went back up today. I got an almost positive OPK last Saturday. I just don't believe it. Getting DH to get more tests!
Music I hope you haven't missed O xx
Alexia!!!!!!! So excited for you 
Which cycle could you have conceived?!
I think so Gee 
Even though it's nearly sent me insane with my chart. I need to back it up with it a better test though!
Music I'm sure it's this cycle. I did get an almost positive OPK on Saturday 5th Nov so this line would make sense if that was true?
Omg alexia! That's amazing!!! That's a definite line so I'm going to add my congratulations! And feeling sick - so exciting 
Hello miw
Thanks Mabel
Hope you are both doing well.
My period was weird. No cramps at all - and usually get severe cramps on day one. And it stopped completely yesterday. Absolutely nothing. So I bled for two days with no cramps. I don't think I'm pregnant - no other signs at all - but I'm worried about having a period that short 
Alexia - I don't believe it 
, I need to get me some clomid. Well done lovely lady! Xx
Music - don't freak out just yet, remember it's the overall pattern your looking for. Try not to scrutinise every temp this early on - I know it's easier to say than do but hang in there!! Xx
Haha!! I did not even notice londonjem/jam!!! The jam bit makes me hungry though!
music I do not understand the temping malarkey - all I can suggest is LSFX!!!!
Loads of people know about me TTC in RL - including my bosses. I felt it right to say as I needed a. Flexibility for all scans etc and b. Them to get me a new job - which we are still working on! I am also a blabber mouth
mabel!!! How are you my lovely?
Alexia!!!!!!!! Amazeballs!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! please get a FRER tout suite!!!
So just had cd18 scan - dominant follicle 14mm - others "shrinking" (which is normal). IUI likely wed/thurs - I have another scan tomorrow.
Omg Alexia!!! I will be so happy for you if that's a positive! Looks very promising though FX!
Thank you all so much It's still very early days but it's exciting! I've also been spotting as I mentioned so who knows if it'll be sticky.
Gee aw it can still happen for you! You're only on your second cycle. Fx!
Nicky take it!!! Even if you do ovulate it gives you a better and stronger O. More eggs = more chances and also the eggs are usually bigger which is better for the sperm! I'd recommend it to all.
Kwick great news on the follies! LSFX!
Jem if it's just a one off I wouldn't be too concerned by it. There's always something to worry about though xx
Alexia congratulations! Is this cycle 18? well deserved anyway, very happy for you and FX for you
Kwick also hoping your week goes well, FX for the scans and the delivery of the juice :)
Jam I don't think a 2 day period is anything significant to worry about, our bodies sure do like to mess with us though.
Hep sounds like a smashing AF, here's to you being back on track 
. It's funny that we had such massively different experiences of mc (not funny ha ha, iykwim) but ended up coming out of it at not too dissimilar places. If that makes sense - ie between 8-10 weeks to recover. I don't know what I'm trying to say, I'm just glad for you.
I had a positive OPK last week, CD 17/18, only managed to dtd on CD 14, 18 and 20 though but you never know. So now I'm CD 22 and ready to settle in, grab some popcorn and watch the BFPs roll in whilst I wait for AF.
Skip - your post regarding popcorn made me chuckle though I can't work out if you're being extremely positive or negative. 
. You are more than in with a chance this cycle, let's enjoy the 2ww together.
Alexia - do you think the Doc will just give me Clomid if I ask for it? They are so funny about perscribing stuff. Ahh your BFP has made me so happy, it's literally gives us all a glimmer of hope.
Thank you FxSkip - yep it's cycle 18 and 20 months! I think you have it well covered. LSFX!
Skipper I think they will but your cycles are regular though so I'm not 100% sure. You've been trying a long time though. Use the online pharmacy if not? Or I can post you some of my Femara stash haha
Thanks Alice. It will be worth it in the end

Sk1pper what makes you think your tubes are blocked? Have you discussed a hycosy test with your doc? Apparently these tests are the anatomical equivalent of Dyno-rod
