Hi Sponge welcome to ttfc anon! Where there is no stats just lots of laughs and moans and groans (sometimes of the swi variety). We are a bit childish and love a willy joke which you have probably noticed.

Everyone else will probably be along at some point to say hello , but sometimes it goes a bit quite on here because I think they are all in the park getting drunk!

Hi Polly boo to the tiredness and fingers crossed ms let's you off lightly.

Hi to Lia well done on the sff and good luck for next week.

Lou are you still smelly?

Sponge sorry meant to say sorry about your mc, I know how you feel as I had mc last year.

Lia we missed you but glad to see you are still planning your next POAS session. I am not due to next Tuesday and am not overly optimistic. Though am shattered today but only 6/7 dpo me thinks so far too early. Plus I had a heavy busy weekend so that might explain it.

Iced I am free of stink now. Woo hoo. Still no SFF though.

Welcome Sponge sorry about the miscarriage but hope the clomid does its stuff. I will have some magaritas its been a long day and I need some booze! I can pass round some muffins I made at the weekend am sure Iced will pour booze over hers.

Icedlemonmuffin · 26/04/2010 17:26

Snake bite and sultana muffin yum!

Loujalou · 26/04/2010 17:28

Iced we had classier cock tails at the start of the thread what has happened? You have been off with Dazza again haven't you?

Fairygodmother1 · 26/04/2010 17:59

Sponge you are deffo welcome with Margaritas!!!!
I've done 6 months of Clomid & nothing happened! Now on to two & a half years TTC - very well practiced but can't seem to pass the test!!!!

Think Iced is a few days ahead of me. Does that mean I'm sloppy seconds? Ooh bring on the snakebite - or maybe the diamond white or white lightening....
If dazza can do the deed & deliver the white goods I'll buy him 10 B&H!

Welcomeback Lia hope you don't need to join us down the park!
Pol you've been missing all the fun.

Icedlemonmuffin · 26/04/2010 18:29

Fairy don't worry there is Dazza, Bazza or Wazza!

I suppose I could have a blue wkd muffin or pineapple Bacardi breezer muffin? Classy doesn't seem to equal up the duff so desperate times, desperate measures.

I'm thinking of getting dh to dress up this month and then I can pretend I've slept with ten different fellas which as you know (if you watch jk) that guaranteess a pregnancy. There is logic in my madness.

Thanks everyone, have a huge tankard glass of margarita each. Or would a kiwi 20/20 and Thuderbird cocktail be more appropriate?

Fairy - what's the next steps with you then? We'll be offered IUI and injectibles if no luck next month. At least it will take the shagging out of the equation - nasty messy business anyway, and far too much effort.

Seems that even after 6 months of clomid I have still managed to fuck up taking it - I took one day too many this month. Surely that guarantees triplets at least? I've probably been having sex wrong the last two years as well...

Loujalou · 27/04/2010 13:40

Sponge sorry you are where you are but at least you will not have any more sore bits if the IUI does its bit. I am liking the idea of Thunderbird and 20/20.

I am going to pass round wkd blue and hooch cocktail for those who need some extra something for SWI!

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 19:00

Ooh I remember Thunderbird, I used to buy it after school and drink it in the park .

Lia the news you missed is that I am up the duff! 5 weeks and 1 whole day. Only took around 24 cycles, but we got there - the month before the fertility clinic appt for the clomid too. Fingers crossed now that its a sticky one.

Hello Sponge good to have some fresh blood in here... mwaaahhh haaa ahhaaa..

Fairygodmother1 · 27/04/2010 20:14

Sponge know exactly how you feel. I'm waitin chasing my referral for IVF. I'm sure they'll tell me I'm over-weight. How the hell am I supposed o lose weight with PCOS??? starve myself? then I bet I'll still put on weight!!!

i think I must be on cycle 30!!!!!! Maybe this one will be lucky....

Ooh Thunderbird...pass it here. Promise not to neck it...

liahgen66 · 27/04/2010 20:46

omg polly I am so so very happy for you. Oh boy, you must be thrilled to bit. Huge congratulations to you.

I need help... I desperately need to poas and know it's far far too early.

thing is I have a real feeling I might be due some good news, can't explain it, aaaggghhh, stop me, I have aa test sitting in my bag, please help me keep it there till friday.

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 20:59

Lia thank you. I am so chuffed but it feels kind of weird too. After waiting so long and getting close to the point of giving up, I think I am still in shock! Oh lady, not again - step away from the pissstick! I tested early too and got BFN. Spent all day in tears - tested again when droid due and got the good news. Wait and you will be rewarded! So what symptoms have you got then?

Fairy 30 is too long . But it is a nice round number so I'm hoping this is your month!

Loujalou · 27/04/2010 21:12

Lia so go on you tell me yours and I will tell you mine. Ok I will tell you mine anyway...

Excessive hunger - well quite peckish
Felt some weird tugging / twinges the other day
Really tired - but could still be recovering from weekend.

Went to have some photos taken of me, TH and Adi in the bluebell woods today. Am hoping the photographer managed to get some good ones. Could be hard with a toddler running around. They even took some of me and TH just the 2 of us.

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 21:18

Lou photos sound lovely - we've never had any professional ones done and I really regret it. I had those weird tugging feelings - like something pulling or twinging inside. When are you due on Lou?

Loujalou · 27/04/2010 21:22

Mmm.... am due on Tuesday so a whole week away. Did you only get those twinges this month as am not sure if its something I have had before.... God knows.

The NCT in our area organised the sessions so we get reduced rates. The photographer is [http://www.ianscottphotography.co.uk/blog/ here]. Not that I keep looking at the website or anything....

Loujalou · 27/04/2010 21:23

Here's the link here!.

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 21:31

Hey Lou, I only got those twinges this month. I really really hope you get a BFP Lou. Will have a look at the link now, thanks for that!

liahgen66 · 27/04/2010 21:33

oh Idon't really symptom spot as a rule cos I am notoriously good at convincing myself whatever the hell I want to believe.

so..

knackered
highly emotional, crying at load sof stuff
twingy, (always get that though so notreally counted)
weeing lots
on and off small waves nausea
starving when I woke up the other day.

photos look stunning, are yours on there yet lou

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 21:41

Hehe, i know what you mean Lia. Well, just sit back and wait until you are late, then POAS. Sorry Lia, I am the worst one to talk - I was POAS at 9DPO this month and cried cos I got BFN, dozy cow.

liahgen66 · 27/04/2010 21:43

We all know that is so not gonna happen, If I manage to hole out till thursday I'll be bloody impressed.

last pg, got a clear neg on Weds, very clear pos day after, was due on on the sunday to come, so 4 days before.

Can i just go to sleep and wake up on Friday, or even Saturday.

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 21:54

You need one of those giant comedy inflatable hammers Lia to knock yourself out with.

liahgen66 · 27/04/2010 21:58

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 22:02

Aw thanks Lia, you'll make me cry. Enjoy shameless, I'm off to watch Castle. x

Icedlemonmuffin · 27/04/2010 22:43

Fingers crossed for Lou and Lia in the babybee lotto, but if you win don't forget about us at ttfc anon !

Fairy I have been trying for about the same time as you , with mc in between, but because we have dd and got pregnant again gp seems to think that we don't need any tests yet.

Hello to everyone else hope you are all having a good evening.
