Thread 12 TTC#1"Trying is the fun part" said by nobody ever who's actually trying.

Star - congratulations, you must be thrilled!

AF update: the witch, who was due yesterday, is still not here but she is messing with me. I had TERRIBLE cramps yesterday and particularly late last night. Woke up without any but as soon as I stood up, terrible cramps - paracetamol worthy. They're still here. Boobs still perfectly normal which is neither a symptom of pregnancy (last time my boobs were ridiculously painful) nor my usual AF (I do get sore boobs with AF but to a lesser extent than when I had my BFP).

Took a IC test to help me obsess over it further just to check. It was a BFN of course.

I have been very weepy but not sure if that's PMS or just being heartbroken that this isn't our month again.

So basically I'm in limbo land. Not preggers. Not on my period. I am absolutely convinced AF is on her way, whereas last time I knew I was pregnant before I took the test. Been feeling like AF could arrive any minute for the last 2.5 days now. Pissed off. Drinking coffee. Drank a lot of wine last night. Please give me suggestions for other things I can do which are illegal in pregnancy so I can revel in my lack of fertility today

kwick your baby is going to be the cutest. I really hope this all goes in your favour!

starky it will be you one day it is tough though, I remember my friends little girls first birthday in December - I was the only non mummy and it really hurt having people ask which one was mine and we had only been ttc for 2 months. I always thought it wouldn't happen to me, and I still can't believe it even now. Keep your hopes up everyone, everything will be fine.

48% is amazing kat! Don't they say that 60% of people get pregnant within 6 months? So, so far we are doing well.

Dh is loving opks! He's like, this makes sense. This is so much better than your stupid app. This is science.

LOL!

tiny I also have a terrible DTD frequency during ISW.

I think appeared for St Davids day. So it may well disappear soon

Am loving the 50% success rate ( sod it-i'll round up )

I think I am just terrible for over analysing every niggle, ache and feeling during the 2ww. No testing for me until next weekend. Currently at 9dpo.....

oooh I love the but perhaps only here for the spring? It was definitely not there before!

Any of you guys (in London) used TaskRabbit? - I am waiting for my handyman to arrive to fix a couple of things... if it works out well I may use for some other bits and bots I need done in my flat. I must continue to sort stuff out... no room for me to move with all my clutter let alone a baby!

Also waiting for clinic to call me back - cannot find dose required of intramuscular injection... quite a relief I have not been able to tackle that yet.

kat you are so funny! Your time will come I am sure of it. I also love how you manipulate calculate our numbers - nearly 50% bfp that is amazeballs!!!

stardusty CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I think biting cheeks is stress related though - I do this and have to wear a mouth guard when a I sleep now as it was getting so bad.

Ever I am half Spanish :) In my family we have a lot of latino/Spanish influence - my dad is Spanish, my auntie is from Puerto Rico and my sister in law is from Peru. Ole! For me it was really important to have a latino donor - the one I am using now is of French/Italian/Puerto Rican extraction which I think sounds perfect! Think about ALL the great food going on in the those countries!

Oops I did not realise Starky had a copyright on the s... I will have to award something else for BFPs!

Congrats harriet and stardusty!

kat love how you had stardusty on the grads list even before her CB test - kat KNOWS 👃

Thanks ever! I'll take the biscuit however I have just seen a brand new that wasn't here before, was it?

OMG starky your DH could be the New Oracle of Delphi for TTC
Everyone please! Keep a tidy queue! The oracle is getting his nose ready!
You will soon know if you are ready to bang!

Sorry ladies I am crazy busy (and stressed!) at work
Kwick you are so amazing! Putting all the effort that you are. I feel I am exhausted and all I do in poas temp and dtd Are you Spanish like me!!??!!
Kat thanks so much for the list, you get a(Since s are copyrighted by Starky
Kat I also get what you mean when you say you are sure you are not preggo, that was me last cycle
Hep some lucky people get the other icons. The rest of us mortals have to do with a limited range of emotions
Very poor

Congrats stardusty!

Sorry about bfn rae you're not out yet - hope AF does not show.

pug please can we see a pic of this cake when you are done?! It sounds amazing

Sorry for AF ni and moose - although defo a positive for you that your cycles are getting more predictable

Fantastic news Star!!

Sorry about bfn and AF Rae and Moose... Booze and brie, and runny eggs and rare steaks and all sorts of treats for us!! Man I just want a day in bed!

Thanks everyone. This thread is so helpful for being able to share in the madness that is ttc. I've learned LOADS and i genuinely think that the knowledge has helped speed up the process. I would not have been so alert to my own bodies signs otherwise x

Thanks moggy, will see how things go. I'm just heading to the gym to burn off the tension so I think I'll feel better in an hour or so!

Oh my god! Congratulations star!!!!!! Brilliant news!

snow I hope the move is easy and runs smoothly for you, and I hope you settle in quickly. Let us know how you're getting on.

Yes no symptoms definitely a symptom! Haha, don't forget to log that in ovia that will really piss her off! I'm a bit more burpy than usual and still got niggling in my left side but other than that really don't feel pg, weird

Amazing news stardusty!!! Congrats you did it!!

Kat fx you're not out yet.

I can't believe our stats they are amazing!!

Rae the clear blue tests aren't very sensitive, maybe test with a first response one of AF is late?

Infertileonatinroof ahahaha Kat you crack me up!

Held fmu for ages as didn't want to know the inevitable. Then just went and took hpt and as I wiped I realised AF had come! No need to wait for those results!! More sex next month.That's it.

Hope you all have lovely weekends lined up!

It definitely looks like no symptoms is a good symptom!!!!

Whoop congrats stardusty

AF in the house here! Good news in a way though as means my cycle looks pretty bang on post pill, for this month at least! Next due date 31st March.
AF is not helping me out today, kicking me in the guts whilst I'm at work already struggling with a hangover! Uuuurgh.... Roll on this evening for chocolate and pizza!!!

Absolutely shellshocked! Did a clearblue expecting it to be neg as it wasn't fmu and its a lot better. 12dpo, af due today according to FF and Monday accoring to Ovia.

This is wierd.

V few symptoms really. Been quite windy and boobs sore when squeezed. Also seem to have a sore mouth in the morning last three days as though i've been biting my cheeks in my sleep. Never heard of that happening to anybody else tho so possibly not preg related.
