TTC 10 Months Plus, Supporting Eachother & Staying Positive :) new thread!!

Good news about your boss blueberry, you sound like you have a v good relationship with them. Poop about working Saturday!

Evening ladies stomach is really uncomfortable tonight argh so bloated and kinda feels like ive pulled the muscles ive been sat on my ass all afternoon so no chance

Im not much of a tea drinker anyway but only have 2 cups a day at the most now

Lol Vicky my dps friend came round the other day n I came home to all my opks wrapped in tissue and in a bag in cupboard. They were nicely set up in order on the bath lol

m33r theres no way im testing until im late from now on I havent even got any tests in the house.

Lol ginger I don't really like dark chocolate but after the amount of choc I ate last month when I was craving it I haven't had any since.

one im working saturday sadly no getting excited yet lol

On the plus side boss is feeling a bit brighter and should be starting chemo tomorrow and coming home over the weekend

Notta, so sorry about af, it's all the more harder when she keeps you waiting and you start to get your hopes up. Hope she hurries off out of it and you can get cracking on cycle 13, I'm at the same point, hoping it's lucky for some, in fact make that ALL

Imaginary, boo to spotting

Good luck M33r, try to sit on those hands if you can

Hi Hibou, sorry I didn't wave hello last night, I just did a quick update and missed your post. Welcome and good luck!

MB1985, a hycosy is basically a procedure that checks if your tubes are clear. They inject a dye into them and perform an ultrasound scan to check the tubes are patent. Sounds like fun hey?!

Ginger, ha! At the dark choc thing, I'm forever doing that!! Try and convince myself I'm being 'healthy' then consume my own body weight, not sure it quite works like that

Hope everyone else is ok and having a good evening, it's almost the weekend girls, hang in there

That's what I thought MB, he might have thought it was a pg test vic!!

God Notta, you deserve a medal for doing that, I can't even watch it on tv, makes me too mad, yes vic I watched those 15000 kids and counting programmes on channel4 there is no justice.
I really miss watching OBEM, I used to love that show.

Err I feel so sick, just ate a load of dark chocolate, the idea is to eat less for the same chocolate kick, but I ate the same amount and now just feel ill!!

m33r I have totally been planning, have been thinking I will test on Monday if still no AF, but then think, who am I bloody kidding!!

Quite a few of us approaching D-Day then....to pee or not to pee on a stick in the morning....hmm....

Oh god what a shitty day to have to deal with that Notta how did you not scream/slap/punch???? one of my v good friends (who doesn't know we are ttc to be fair) got pregnant whilst on the pill from a one night stand ffs!

And Lol @ Vic luckily most blokes woudn't have a clue - if anything would think its a pregnancy test!!

M33r hold out til next week - been there done that many times. Just makes you feel crap!!!

Would he have known what it was vic ? Prob didn't notice it.

Step away from the sticks m33r!! At least til monday or tuesday Good luck.

Thanks hibou its shite. I've had two bars of chocolate today - so much for the diet!!

Thanks for the lovely welcome ladies! Sorry that af got you notta. I think she might get me tomorrow, although no symptoms as such. Had a proper stabby pain at times today that took my breath away, which was weird because af is normally just achey.

Ooops! Got th bro in law down and just realised I'd left a used opk (today's totally neg one) on the side! Hope he didn't see it!

Off to reflexology in an hour, bliss :-) my monthly pre-ov session.

I'm still drinking coffee and wine but have cut back on both. It does seem unfair when you see those doing all the wrong things getting pregnant at the drop of their knickers a hat.

Feel ok today really, apart from being really bloated and having bastard period pains.

Seems ages til 2nd june! Actually it even seems ages til cd 8!!

Not sure whether to get opks again. Though think i will probably cave in and buy them. If not will aim for dtd from cd 7 onwards as much as poss!

ginger at work today i dealt with a young girl who has had two babies taken into care, a recent MC and is pregnant again. :-(

Vic and Blueberry not long after we started ttc DH was advised to give up caffeine so we both switched to decaff (he moaned like hell at first!) you can't tell the difference in taste - I couldn't get through the day without a coffee! On the plus side, when you are absolutely exhausted instead of needing 5 coffees to get you through the day, one or 2 really perks you up!!!!

I dont drink coffee but I have cut down how much tea I drink.

I was soooo sure I was pregnant last month stupid bodies really do like to mess us around.

Mega bloated and tummy pain today AF not due for another week trying not t think symptom grrrrr

Hi ginger! Felt really ill after I gave up my daily coffee actually! Massive headaches, exhaustion, tiredness and muscle aches! Felt like I'd had a massive workout after a drinking session! 2 days I was really bad but I'm still suffering from being very tired a week later! I've not stopped with the wine, just not drinking a glass of something in front of the tv most evenings. Limiting it to a wine when I meet a friend in the pub instead.

I also wonder why some people are allowed to get preg and we aren't! Did you watch any if the adoption season programs? The thick inbred alcoholics and druggies pumping out babies that just get taken off them from neglect. Made me so angry!

Forgot to say welcome hibou, hope your stay with us is short!

Oh Notta I'm sorry, I was so hopeful for you, how utterly crap. Small consolation that at least your cycles are regular and doing the right thing, AF was late because you ov'd late sort of thing...take time to indulge in wine, chocolate and have a good cry, and know that we are all here going through the same sht and crying with you! Rant warning - why is it that so many lazy, useless benefits scum have baby after baby they don't look after properly and decent people struggle to have what all bloody women were designed for in the first place! Evolution has gone totally wrong somewhere.
So far today I have been told one of my work colleagues mrs' is 20 weeks tomorrow, an old friend is due anyday, and whilst out on my lunch walk having a lovely time pondering on what DH and I would do for our holiday I am confronted with another, heavily pg, work colleague walking along too.Sigh. It is just everywhere.
Vic how are you finding the non wine and caffeine? Not sure I am brave enough yet, but desperate measures......
Anyway, got that out of my system now, new thread, new positive thoughts! Wondering whether to POAS or not tomorrow, will be cd29 which was when AF arrived last month, and I have had all the usual tick boxes to say she is on her way, actually not sure if I even have any sticks in the house!

I got mine from Amazon notta around £32 I think inc delivery for 20 sticks (supposedly 2 months worth but I reckon if your body plays ball you could get 3 months out if it)

so sorry notta. was really hoping it was your month. allow yourself to cry. then in a few days plan your next attack.

I've actually "given up" wine this month to maximise my chances, and caffeine! except in chocolate read somewhere that non drinkers are 50% more likely to conceive. Whatever. Does 20 years previous drinking count?!

Was chopping up some tomatoes last night and dh said he'd been reading something that they had sperm boosting qualities. So he's been reading up has he? Woohoo!! I can chance him for the better yet :-) I've been trying to slip veg and seeds into his diet quietly for months!

I do remember vic and thanks lindsey and jesse I know we are all here because we'rr in the same boat. I think if AF had arrived on monday I would have been less upset. Its the trouble with getting your hopes up isn't it?

So I've experienced a late ov and longer cycle.

Those who use CB ov tests, the none flashing ones, where do you get them?

#staying positive

(disclaimer, I don't yse # but seemed appropriate)

It happened to me last cycle, as you may remember!? I thought I ovd early but it must have been a week later giving me longer cycle. I had so many symptoms like nausea, cramps, no spotting... I think my body must have geared up to ov then didn't and had another go later on. Something I'm not letting pass me by this month! We stopped dtd after the first fake ov so I didn't even have a chance!

Fingers crossed for EVERYONE this month. We've been through enough in the past year-2 years don't you think? X x X

Oh notta xoxoxo This has happened to me 2 or 3 times over the last year or so and it is so cruel! I know nothing we can say will make much of a difference but I think it is absolutely fine to wallow in it for a couple of days! Then hopefully you can get back on this stupid, unfair TTC ride, feeling more positive.

Have the best day you can xx
