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

Miley I would love to see your scan! So sweet of your oh to organise it.

Pugmummy I really struggle with drinking enough too. It is hard at work! I think I will buy me a giant water bottle and at least on some days I will stand a chance. Don't always have time to wee at work either! I get those headaches too-horrible, hope you're feeling better now.

Welcome newbies!

Congratulations Pyxie! Lovely news!

Sorry about AF Feefs

Moggy you were lovely to be so kind. That poor woman .

Jem the SMEP looks exhausting! Though I am currently sulking as DH promised me some action tonight and is now pleading tiredness-I definitely had some EWCM earlier (maybe the EPO?) though am only CD8. I am not happy!

Mileymoocow yes tested last on Sunday night. I've tested about 6 times!!

Oh w(h)ine... I'm doing a lot of that at the minute! Have a glass for me!

I can't believe 30% fall in their first cycle. I thought I was beyond lucky with my 2nd cycle. My best friend fell on her 2nd but sadly lost it at 12 weeks and another friend fell while on the pill I know, I know, how the fuck, right? but again lost her little girl at 27 weeks. The anxiety just never ends.

Ladies I have my scan tomorrow evening but have noticed a lot of you are feeling down recently so I won't post it here for fear of it feeling like I'm rubbing it in. But if you'd like to see feel free to pm me!

Haha yes! They've probably secretly all been on here. And how do people get pregnant on the pill exactly? It's witch craft I'm sure!

I'm gunna have some baileys to celebrate being 4 days away from AF.

Bitches I call them terrible but does cheer me up.

Also just bought a job lot of EPO. And a bottle of red wine

Haha vix, oh those normal women who cencieve without trying? Those mythical creatures!

rosie have you tested at all? I have high hopes for you

I'll try tomorrow. FMU! I'll keep you all posted.

I guess any hole is a goal as they say! I go straight for the mouth and under the tongue. I live temping and seeing what my body is doing each month. My temp dropped from 36.7 to 36.2 yesterday and I was freaking out my luteal was only going to be 9 days long but it went back up this morn so who knows what that was about.

30% is high, if you take into account all those normal women who don't chart or opk. I take it they exist?

Apparently taking your temp via the foof is more reliable.

Tmi alert, I have a ton of ewcm today. The epo has obviously worked.

After my 'stern look' from Kwick last night, I have made an effort to drink more today. Still not enough, but it's better than the past 2 days.

30% within the first cycle?! That can't be right surely??

I also thought people took their foof temperatures? I'm assuming not.

Also thinking might try this this month! Have printed myself a calendar off :) spermmeetseggplan.com/smep-step-by-step/

Of all couples trying to conceive: 30 percent get pregnant within the first cycle (about one month) 59 percent get pregnant within three cycles (about three months) 80 percent get pregnant within six cycles (about six months)

Just read this on the Baby Center. It made me feel better

vix and kav what other hole are you talking about?! I thought with temping it would just go in your mouth or under your arm!

i think i am already started to crack and thinking of buying a frer....
chances are negligible and yet......

stop it.

Thanks kav. Congrats on the wedding! Hope the venue got sorted? I got married in July so I know what you mean about the stress.

I've been taking Pregnacare for 2 months now and was ok last month- will keep a close eye now though!

Don't let me worry you Rae - for what looks like the large majority of women it appears to work fine and doesn't affect their cycles at all. It might not even be the Pregnacare - I was married in January and we all know how stress-free wedding planning is (particularly when you're told the week before your wedding that your reception venue is about to go bankrupt) - and I also got sick on honeymoon, so it's entirely likely that stress and/or sickness were to blame, not the Pregnacare. I only thought it was that because I found other people saying the same - and I wasn't temping that month so I can't say for sure it wasn't just very delayed ovulation. :)

kav I'm taking Pregnacare Conception! Worried now!

Welcome onboard the ttc bus Kav ! 🚌 Mind your step!

I'm back and less moody today! CD26/28-33 and about 7dpo. This month I am dismissing any thoughts of being pregnant (mostly!) Would be due to test Saturday and im meeting my Mum for a holiday Sunday and I can't work myself up or the disappointment would be too much! Trying to remember to eat my pineapple and finishing this month of temping and that's all!

Rosie time to test!! Fingers crossed!

I was thinking about that vixarooni, but I don't think I can really do that mid-chart as I read that you get higher temps from there! Will probably do that from the start of my next cycle though if I don't get a BFP this time around.

Hi kavana I'm all over that book, I chart now and constantly compare my graphs to others!! You could take your temp from another hole....

I honestly thought I'd be quite laid back about it.... How wrong was I? First month and it's taking over my every thought!
We only DTD once (albeit on a good ovulation day) and I have ZERO symptoms but I've still been eyeing up pregnancy tests in Boots today! I managed to not buy them, I'd be doing them daily!!
