Thread 11 TTC#1. Let the fertile games begin! May the eggs be ever in your favour!

I have been staying horizontal sucha even though I think it's nonsense! I usually manage 5-10 minutes before I have to pee.

Throw in a triple espresso hep! Or even espresso martini!!

South Africa will be amazing sucha you defo wouldn't want to miss out on the wine tasting! That's a great thing to take your mind off it plus a good holiday is probably just what you need to get in prime baby making territory!

Quick DTD question which played on my mind last ISW. After DTD, do you stay horizontal for a while, to get gravity involved in the hunger games? I usually nip straight to the loo, but kept wondering if I wasn't giving the little guys enough of a fighting chance.

sorry jem but enjoy the wine tasting!

I will be commiserating last months disappointment on thursday with wine (in moderation of course ;) ), oysters and rare steak with blue cheese sauce.... wonder how many other "forbidden" items i can throw in?

think i will start opk testing today...

Thanks girls. It helps so much going through this with you all.

On the slight plus side, my publisher has just asked me to do to present at the annual ‘Town Hall’ meeting this Thursday. Not being upduffed means I can swig some surreptitious Bloody Marys beforehand to survive it… Not to mention I don’t have to miss out on the wine tasting in South Africa – one of the main reasons to go there, IMO! #silverlining

Sorry suchajem it just messes with your head doesn't it!! I was on board with you being pregnant. It's a frustrating game

Ahhh
I just had to rush around like mad at work and when I sat down I felt nauseous someone stop the symptom spotting madness, quick!!!

Very sorry suchajem have some vino & chocolate... Even if it is before noon!

Officially out. Aunt Bitchface is here with a vengeance. So sign me up to the next bus! Next test date will be 23 March.

peaches and feef I’m just the same. Every tiny thing = defo preggo.

This cycle I have learned that every single thing can be pregnancy or PMS. I have also learned that tea just does taste slightly metallic to me.

Next cycle I’m actually going to try OPKs. At least that’ll give me something to focus the crazy on.

Sorry for leading you all on a wild goose baby chase this cycle! I really did convince myself back there. But am feeling okay about it now. DH has come a long way and is now actually wanting to try with me, and that is a massive step forwards for us.

Good luck kwick!

I just googled magic 8 ball online. . . Have sunk to new depths. Have been mostly fine this month but we put so much effort into ISW that it got my hopes up.

Thanks for keeping such good track of us kat you deserve a

Am sat in clinic waiting for day 6 scan and then bloods...

I completely fixated every last symptom last month and was upset when af showed so I'm trying (and if I'm honest failing a little) not to think about it too much. It's soo hard! Roller coaster every month!!

Thanks confusedcat I'm so glad we have this group I can't imagine how I would deal with all this without having the support. I keep googling every tiny thing and then convincing myself I am or am not pregnant. We're taking a break after this month for March and April for the practicality reason of a Christmas/January baby and if I'm not pregnant this month it'll be 2017 (hopefully) before we have a baby. Work is awful today, so no helping!

Thanks feefs going to see if I can grab a bag today. He is actually a bit of a nut fiend too, very partial to a drink and nuts at the weekend. He is well warned about the consequences of over indulging and giving himself and upset stomach though haha.

But if he starts just now and I'm out this month then it's another string to our bow for next cycle ☺

feefs I know the feeling... Do you want to join me in my pit of despair? I've got chocolate

Good plan peaches you only need a small amount of Brazil nuts too so they should last awhile 1-2 would be enough (if you have a OH like Kat maybe hide the bag)

I have fallen into the pit of despair and am now convinced I'm not pregnant, no particular reason why. Wish it was Saturday already.

are the dates AF due dates? mine is 15th March +/- who knows....

Morning ladies.

OH likes adding extra nuts to his cereal so think I'll invest in Brazil nuts he usually takes some crushed walnuts. I'm a big fan of tuna & shellfish so good news there.

sucha your not out till your out fingers crossed x

kat I'll take a ticket for March 5th testing please x (sorry to mess you list)

Cat I think that was mrsknightley?? Was on the list though!
If anyone doesn't have a date then please tell me and I can allocate you your correct seat on the bus :)

Hi Kat, that's a serious list! Thanks for compiling. I'm on the March bus now ... AF booted me out of Feb! I'm only CD 5 so I'll probably be on this bus for a while

Hep great minds...

jem

I won't test until AF is late. I would rather wait until i can really trust the test result. I.e. 99% accurate.

Jem I understand, I wont be testing unless AF is late

Thanks for the list kat, someone popped up with a bfp a couple of days ago who I hadn't even heard of so it's good to see who everyone is!!!

ever I've gone off testing :( I enjoy being pregnant in my head and the disappointment of the white stick is too much. Got a bfn on Saturday and being a drama queen basically! If AF doesn't show today then I'll test tomorrow.
