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

Haha noo Kat i was on day off today! not running on my lunch break! That will only happen when I'm dead, lunch breaks are for eating

Moggy maybe try the Age UK website, they might have a number she could ring if she wants to chat to someone.

Not that nice of me really, I live in a small town and there was no one else around, can't guarantee I would have stopped if it was a big city I like your idea ever about the card, there must be a local charity who would be able to pop in to her regularly for a chat.

starky you have been very relaxed this cycle! Oviabitch does have her uses every now and again. You'd better get cracking!

Stark it's a good job DH is not working tonight... Let's hope that he didn't want an early night!

Posted too soon! Oops

Cd 25 and around 7 dpo. Thought i may have had some mild cramps this morning but wouldn't have noticed if i wasn't paying attention. Probably wind.

Work is crackers at the moment as everyone seems to be off on the sick so at least the days are flying in!

moggy that was really nice of you. I'd definitely knock and see if she's ok and maybe ask her if she has any family to contact. How sad, bless her

Ooo kwick Yay to your extra follicles!

I've slept from 1 til 4 this afternoon and am just dreading being up all night! On to 2nd week off work and am so bloody bored. I want to go back but I can't stop spewing

Good evening all! More BFPs wooohooo!!

moggy you are a lovely person.

So NFMO (news from my ovaries): scan this morning showed 5 follicles (last time I only had 3) and one at 14mm. This is encouraging and I am going to carry on with what I have been doing infact I have drunk so much milk today I am feeling a bit sick
My next scan is on Wednesday and I AM going to have more and bigger follicles.

Good luck Kat!

Congratulations pyxie ACE news!

I hope everyone that was feeling down is feeling happier. I often get very down... But "the sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar there will be sun"!!! Sorry that was cheesy!

Oh moggy! What a sad story and how lovely of you. Oh dear I don't know what to advise I hope she has friends and family I would be way to shy to knock on her door but maybe a nice little card with a phone number of a charity or gp is she needs to talk to someone? And post it?
Kat fingers crossed for you.
Since TTC I feel I am always gassy on 2ww. According to Ovia this is consistent with my cycles

hello all!!!
pyxie congratulations!!!
general group congratulations!!! Our % has gone up!! (i will calculate later)
mog thats really nice of you. If she's in your street, if you wanted you could give her a knock in a few days to see how she is, but I wouldn't feel obliged to. You helped her today, and you did a good thing. PLUS you went for a 3+ mile run ON YOUR LUNCHBREAK WHATTTTTTT!!!
stark glad you're feeling better.
I can't remember what everyone else said so that will do!!
Im 10ish DPO. sore boobs and loads of wind (so hopefully I'm pg like pyxie, hurrah! or i just ate too much onion :/)
anyone fancy a list??

It was sweet of you to stop and help her home mog, many people would wall straight past. Perhaps you could give her a knock another day and see how she's doing?

So glad Monday is done. Tempted to test out my first OPK this evening but I'm only cd6 so thinking its a bit soon.

Oh moggy that's lovely of you!

So I went out for my run and lunchtime and my god it was cold, whoever said it's always too cold or rainy you were absolutely right. It was a rubbish run, my legs were numb until mile 3!!

Something happened this morning that made me feel properly sad and I'm hoping I did enough. I had just set out on said run and came across a little old lady sitting on the ground. I asked if she was ok and she said she'd fallen over, she had a little graze on her cheek. I helped her up and walked her to her house (on same street as me). That's when I smelt the booze so I asked her why she'd fallen over and she said she'd drunk too much in the pub (it was only 1.30 by this time, the pub wouldn't have opened until midday!!). She said she thought she was depressed because her partner had died 4 years ago
I helped her into her house and told her to sit down and sleep it off. I'm wondering now if I should have talked to her about going to gp or something, or just stayed with her a little longer. I know that alcohol dependence is soo tricky and complex but I'm mad at the pub for serving her until she was in that state! It was so sad, she's so vulnerable, and now I know where she lives I think it will haunt me everyday

So much for a day off poorly people!! I'm not leaving the house again until I have to go back to work!

Ah man that's crap! Hope it clears up rae or that its a baby symptom! Me and oh got food poisoning over my fertile days so even though we managed it on my peak day I think it was a bit void!

That should be 'have a virus!'

vix I feel so run down and nauseous, but I think unfortunately I just gave a virus

Not at all hep I too am not bothered at all about a wedding and marriage... If we had tons of money etc then we'd probably do it, but quite happy as we are. Don't need a ring and a piece of paper to know we're committed to each other.

Period twins rae I'm holding out too, purely because I feel nothing! If I did, it might be a different story!

So travelling home again today. SIL too delight in telling my OH how they got engaged exactly 12 years ago.... No obvious signs of panic from him.... Not sure if its odd, but I am not hugely bothered about the whole marriage thing. We are quite happy as we are.

Am I strange, especially with this whole ttc thing? My friends will tell you yes for whole other reasons!

vix AF is due on the 5th for me too. I'm trying to hold out until then!
