TTC #1 Thread 14. Shroedingering Like Champions! (It's an art form and a skill!)

Hugh enjoys ISW and his love affair with Doreen. He watches out for skittle tits and weepyitis. Mrs Arseholey Fucknut (Af) shows up when you least want her but brings wine and soft cheese as a consolation prize.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself you're pregnant in the tww That is paramount! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts. We want a fanny full of determined Doreen, not unicorn farts and gnome tears with extra sparkle. We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area.

Post your stats and add your dates. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

WE SHALL WIN IN THE GAME OF SPERM MEETS EGG! IT WILL HAPPEN!

Great news russkispy!
BTW there is a new thread - scroll back for link.

Just had my first fertility acupuncture, £85 and 3 hours later and lighter I've finally emerged, smelling of roses 😉 This price includes a consultation and first treatment. We talked a lot about fertility, ovulation, fertility window, foods, body chemicals, pregnancy etc really enjoyed the chat! She'll send me a list of food to incorporate into my diet. Will let you know. My 2nd appointment is in 2 weeks.
I'm currently on CD10, DTD on CD5, 7 and 9. She advised to DTD every other day from end of your period all the way through to CD21. Providing I'm usually 28-29 CDs. Which I am. Already changes in CM. "Science" continues till CD21 😉

We didn't tell anyone we were trying ema I just did smiling, nodding "oh it must be tiring" etc whilst going green as fuck and internaly slightly bitter and pissed off that it wasn't me. But it will be you next. It will. Send positive thoughts to your vagina and Bang like a shit house door in a storm!

I'm still catching up on posts but was just wondering what people do. I was at a wedding this weekend and ended up having to walk away and have a bit of a cry as my 32 week pregnant friend compained about how awful pregnancy is. We started trying around the same time. One friend knows and I'm pretty sure that the rest have guessed we are trying and having no luck. How do you cope when friends are complaining about pregnancy or similar and have you told people you are trying?

Kwick709 · 20/05/2016 20:55

moose there is a lovely scan picture on the new thread, come join us Grin

Mooseville · 20/05/2016 19:35

Ooh Starky, so pleased all went well!
I think we're all so happy for you that no one would think it insensitive, you went through the same things as us and it helps to see that it all can work out in the end! But that's talking for myself I guess, not everyone!

Mooseville · 20/05/2016 19:29

Here she is!!

She was smashing! We've only met the one dog/owner and she's great... My DP's sister got us into it, and they walk quite a few.

Thanks all Smile

Sorry to hear AF got you Jem, the worse part is just not knowing if it's ever going to happen. When I reached cycle 5, I was convinced it was just not going to happen to me. I wish I could go back and tell myself to just calm down and be patient but I know I wouldn't listen anyway lol. It sucks, thinking of you :(

All went well, thank you so much for all your kind positive thoughts, I'm certain it worked because I didn't get myself too worked up! I'm a day or two ahead of what I thought I was, and alien was waving and jiggling. Dh saw much more than I did, but I feel incredibly fortunate to be here and to be able to share with you guys, I'd have gone mad if I didn't.

Happy to put the pic up if anyone wants to see a cross section of my uterus but also mindful of being insensitive. I feel like I should be handing out er the reigns of thread starter and worrying I've outstayed my welcome slightly.

Welcome to all newbies! And returners!

I was so scared this morning I had the nervous farts. I'm like a skunk when I'm scared.

Oh Jem, I'm so sorry. Plenty of Chocolate and Wine coming your way.

Welcome marmite!

LovelyFishy · 20/05/2016 15:09

Welcome Marmite! waves

Sorry AF got you Jem. SadFlowers Enjoy a wine this eve. Wine

Fx for you Kav, it sounds promising!

HepKestrel · 20/05/2016 15:06

So sorry Jem I was really hoping at least one of us would make it this week.

moose you got me investigating it too!

(looks like we'll need a new thread soon as well.

marmitetoast1 · 20/05/2016 14:58

Thanks for the welcomes all! Smile and sorry to hear about the pesky AF arrivals . Borrowed border collie sounds fab, will be a lovely thing to do tonight! Dog-walking is really stress busting too I always think!

kavanaughkj · 20/05/2016 14:46

Welcome marmite! It's a lovely friendly thread here, I'm sure you'll fit right in. Smile

Sad Sorry to hear AF got you Jem. It's properly bollocks and I know if she gets me this month I will be throwing my toys out of the pram ... wishing you better luck next cycle. Flowers

I'd love to try that 'borrow my dog' thing. DH and I rent an apartment so we're not allowed to have pets, and it would encourage us both to get a bit more exercise. I might suggest it to him!

Mooseville · 20/05/2016 14:19

Oh no, sorry jem FlowersCakeWine

marmite yes it is, we joined last week and met a lovely lady and her border collie in the park last week! It's such a good idea, good for the dogs to get extra walks and good for those who want one but can't due to living conditions/work etc...

SuchaJem · 20/05/2016 14:13

I'm out. Pretty fed up.

Thanks for the reassurance xx

marmitetoast1 · 20/05/2016 14:02

Ooh Mooseville is that through the 'borrowmydoggy' thing? Someone at work was talking about this last week, I'd never heard of it before, sounds ace!
Happy Friday all Smile

Mooseville · 20/05/2016 13:55

Sounds good kav

Welcome marmite

Sorry about the rush of AF's. I agree with inspector are our cycles somehow aligning? There was a lot at once.... Yeh to the Mumsnet sisterhood!

jem you're not out till you're out, don't beat yourself up until AF is actually here, as hard as that may be when you're sure she's on her way.
I echo what everyone else has said, 5 months isn't long in the grand scheme of things, and nothing to worry about, as long as 5 months feels when You're going through it. Maybe going and getting some tests would put your mind at rest a bit more?

On another note, yay it's Friday. We're off to walk out borrowed doggy on our own for the first time tonight, I'm well excited. I hope she doesn't run off or anything though Hmm

HepKestrel · 20/05/2016 13:48

welcome marmite!

marmitetoast1 · 20/05/2016 13:38

Hey guys, mind if i join you?
I've just started ttc for the first time after 14 years (Shock) on the pill... currently waiting for AF to arrive so can get cracking on cycle 2!

kavanaughkj · 20/05/2016 13:26

Good luck today Starky! Nice to see you back Kwick, sounds like you've been busy!

Just off out for a nice lunch with hubby but had to jump on and eee cautiously on here first - temps went triphasic this morning :-) I've been having to pee constantly as well and am still way thirstiest than normal. For the first time symptoms are feeling real and not imagined.

tries not to freak out

Kathrino · 20/05/2016 12:29

Oops totally fell off the thread when I came back from holiday.

Jem, we're in the middle of cycle 6 now with nothing. I'm going to give it a couple more months then start looking into getting tests done privately. It might just be one of those things but I'd rather not wait too long to find out if there is an issue that we need to address.

Sorry to all those who are also feeling glum FlowersFlowersFlowers

I thought we were going to totally miss ovulation as we've been rubbish recently and hadn't DTD for weeks but I think I ovulated yesterday and DH came home from work drinks just the right amount of drunk last night so at least we've given it a shot. I had some cuddles with my best friend's new baby last weekend which has only amplified the broodiness.
