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!

ni you can buy dhea online - just go with a reputable brand... Just saying Wink

starky is your scan next week or this? Wishing lots of luck! You will be grand.

Snowdog37 · 04/05/2016 02:33

Yay to all the bfps!!! 💐🎉💐🎉💐🎉 great to see a little flurry of them!
I'm due to ovulate this Sunday which is ironically Mother's Day here. And af is due on my birthday. So I'm excited about a lovely birthday present or dreading getting another visit from af the witch. June I start Clomid and we do IUI alongside dtd.
Currently watching the news. Trump might actually be the next president. Ugh I'm going to persuade dh to move back to the uk!!!

Kathrino · 04/05/2016 00:43

Haha, Ni, I was wearing pink knickers today and had the same thought! We actually went out for the day and I didn't take any pads/tampons with me which I thought would probably make it show up but nothing so far.

Starky, I will definitely have a glass of wine or maybe some ridiculous cocktail with an umbrella in tonight on your behalf!

I looked at my apps and I could be anywhere from 10+6 to 11+5 because I don't know when I ovulated lol, I'm inclined to think Im closer to 11 weeks than 12 but as long as I can get the next week out of the way I can start focusing on fx a positive scan and the next few weeks.

And don't forget, in terms of pregnant I'm only really 7 and a bit weeks since bfp, two weeks from ovulation plus two weeks from start of cycle that they count, so I'm not that much ahead of y'all, you'll soon be catching me up!

Genuinely though, pleeeease have a glass of wine for me, it's weird as balls having to think "can I have that?" I'm not whinging honestly, I know I'm super blessed, and you will all be joining me being constipated as balls and uncomfortable soon!

Kathrino, today's learning was....don't wear red knickers when it's knicker checking time!! Very confusing! I seem to get cm discharge before AF. I have to remind myself that this happens to me every month. It is not a pg sign. It is my body fucking with me! Bloated as fck too but again that's probably just pms.

Stark I can't believe you're 11+ weeks!!! It may not feel it for you, but time is flying! You're almost a third way through!! Can't wait for the ball to get rolling for you from Friday!... I also can't believe how far behind you I am!

Thanks Kwick, Dr Google and I had a chat about it! I saw it should be prescribed by a consultant so figured it's probably beyond my novice ability...I'll leave that one! Read good things about it though...hope its helpful for you!!

Jem thermometer is ready and waiting!

Lovely that stuff is frustrating as fuck (I'm very sweary today!!) We had two incidences of that this FW. I had to massage his ego so much afterwards so that he didn't make it into a big deal and get stage fright the next time...Although really I wanted to throttle him!!

5tardusty · 03/05/2016 20:08

Patches Grin congrats!!!

iPatches · 03/05/2016 19:44

Thanks for the congratulations. Still in shock! AF was due tomorrow so dont think it will be real until then. Worrying because i got bfp so early 5 days before AF but i think i must have O'd early??

emalady · 03/05/2016 19:39

Yey! to all tye BFPs, very very exciting - really hope some of it rubs off on me.

moose I have definately not been looking after myself as well as I should - keep thinking I need to lose weight to help and then thinking I'm going to get fat anyway. I'm doing couch to 5km though and starting to really enjoy it, I'm at week 5 now. Good luck starting out!

Got inot a wierd habit of starting to plan what I will do next month when nothing happens this time again. Need to focus on being positive and just enjoying DTD!

Mooseville · 03/05/2016 19:37

Aaaargh lovely it's so bloody frustrating! It's so hard, as it can't be helped, but it feels such a waste!!!

I managed my first run without collapsing! An outdoor pool sounds lovely, I do go swimming some mornings when I can drag myself out of bed before work!

LovelyFishy · 03/05/2016 19:33

Sucha I don't tell him when it's fw but I think he knows by now that it's around now! I think it might have been more he was sleepy and his mind was on other things... But gggrrrrrrrrr!! I'm going to try and put that behind me and see where tonight takes us, I want us to at least have a chance this month!!

Kwick709 · 03/05/2016 19:30

suchajem I LOVE outdoor swimming... There is actually a pool quite near me - you have inspired me to check out opening times :)

Kwick709 · 03/05/2016 19:27

ni DHEA is a pre-hormone which some believe can dramatically improve egg quality but it is not without controversy! As my consultant has prescribed it to me I am cautiously optimistic :) mine is from Health Aid - pure and 25mg.

Hello moose good luck with your running. I need to get back into doing more regular exercise too, am contemplating joining the local outdoor pool!

Eek starky how exciting, let us know how it goes.

Yes sure bluebird, fx for your test results also.

Oh lovely that must be so frustrating for both of you. Do you keep your fw / opks secret from him, if not do you think that could help?

LovelyFishy · 03/05/2016 17:42

Congratulations to all the bfp, wonderful to see!! FlowersGrin

Sorry to hear the sad news too, hope everyone is taking care of yourselves. BrewCake

So, I need a little rant too... Nearly peak opk last night, peak this morning. Tried to dtd with DH this morning but performance anxiety strikes again!!! I know he's not doing it on purpose and of course he wants it to work as much as I do, but it's so... The mix of emotions I feel is so hard to describe!

bluebird3 · 03/05/2016 16:56

Congrats ipatches

Can I have a ticket for 26 May Jem
Thanks Smile

Glad to see our thread is getting lucky again. I'm planning to jump dh when he gets in. I was away on a hen weekend and missed him. Now that af is over there's no time like the present to get back at it. I'm waiting to hear results from cd 3 blood test. Hope they ring tomorrow as I'm curious to know the results.

Kathrino · 03/05/2016 16:32

Look at all these lovely BFPs! Huge congrats iPatches!

Ni, I'm a fellow resident of knicker checking city at the moment. Totally confused as to what my body is doing and also in the phase of constantly reminding myself not to get my hopes up. Ugh.

FlowersFlowersFlowers to those that need them.

celizabe · 03/05/2016 15:27

Yay BFPs ... congratulations girls Grin

StarkyTheDirewolf · 03/05/2016 14:52

Congratulations guys! Lovely news with all the bfp's!

flash look after yourself lovely girl, take your time and recover, glad to hear you're feeling improved just take it easy. 💐

ni it's Friday and that should generate a scan appt, will just be relieved to get that far now! Shroedingers pregnancy is dragging! I am so bloated and water logged it's gross! I'm like the world's worst submarine! And my clothes are getting tight, was going through my pre preggo knickers the other day and they're like a slingshot for a mouse! No bump, nothing exciting, im just like Violet Beauregard in Charlie and the chocolate factory when she turns into a blueberry! Including the blue, because veins, purple veins EVERYWHERE! But other than that, I still wouldn't think I'm preggers! 11+5.

Ooooooh lovely, lovely BFP's!! 4!!! We're on a roll again girls....

I've started on the EPO this month, so let's see what that's all about. Trying to have a relaxed month and just focus on getting more healthy and doing some exercise. Have really let myself go during this TTC as keep thinking "oh I'll get fat anyway" not thinking I'm making it harder to conceive by being unhealthy! So I'm trying to shift the focus back, focus on healthy eating and moderate exercise and hopefully that will kick start everything else!

Starting the couch to 5k tonight. Wish me luck - I'm not much of a runner!

blueladybird · 03/05/2016 13:59

Went away for the weekend, came back to loads of lovely BFPs! Congratulations to all! Smile

SuchaJem · 03/05/2016 13:46

Fingers crossed for high temps ni!

Ni4444 · 03/05/2016 13:38

Stark is your booking in apt this week. I think you said your scan is coming up soon. Wanna know when things are going to get real for you!!

Ni4444 · 03/05/2016 13:20

Law of averages says AF due Friday, 10 day luteal phase says AF due today. Knicker checking city here!! Keep forgetting to take temp (or waking up loads so reckon it won't be reliable) so no insight from temps. Must try to temp tomorrow. Am probably out...need to remind myself of that!

Ctul sorry about AF rocking up. Hope the xray gives some insight into what's going on. And I hope you still catch eggo with some dtd Wed night xx

HepKestrel · 03/05/2016 11:38

thanks jem
i know, its just frustrating. I have more hope than last month.

I am happy that our thread is still outputting bfp's !

oh well.... another bank holiday in 4 weeks!
