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

Big hug Alice. You are not deficient! I think I'll be moving into cycle 6 with you. Defo see your GP about the mid cycle bleed. Hang in there, sending you if it is AF xx

Hi Kat

I hope AF stays away for people and we get some BFPs.

I woke up crampy and now started spotting, AF will arrive later on or tomorrow. So I'm waving in cycle 6 now bleeding mid-cycle. I know 6 cycles is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I'm really fed up, I knew I was deficient. I could wallow really rather effectively in self pity.
Going to make a gp appt, should have done so when I saw the blood, knew it couldn't have been implantation, just held out hope as it was on 6dpo. Silly me.

Hahaha moose! Silly sausage.

Fx hep hang in there!

Where has kwick got to, hope you're doing alright if you're out there

Moose oh my ! thats funny!

I am working from home today. Feel completely washed out.
Last week, OH gifted me a lovely cold for my birthday. So I am probably just suffering from a series of bad nights sleep (eaux-de-vicks)

cd32: AF still not here..... though I think she may arrive today (TMI: occasional v.little pink/brown since monday evening). I did have some boob-tenderness over the weekend, but pretty much all gone now.

I have a question milk: I think kwick recommended not guzzling the stuff after ovulation. I assume its safe to start guzzling the stuff again? I have 4 pints ! Ooops !!! Even grumpy-old-cat doesn't want to drink that much.

curls up in corner of waiting room to go back to sleep

It's no wonder my DP doesn't quite 'get' basic biology.
I sent him off to work with an orange for his smack yesterday (new healthy eating regime!) and he told me last night he had to google how to eat it as it confused him so much!! I mean WTF? How does this man hold down a (quite successful) job and career???? Apparently he peeled it fine but the segments confused him??!
If it's survival of the fittest, no wonder I can't get upduffed!!!! LOL

It must be so lovely telling close family members twinky

Bluebird, how frustrating you have to wait another month. I hope it's just a common/small blip on the second result. Fx for getting the all clear next month.

Pug what cd are you?

I woke up this morning with the distinct feeling AF is coming. Don't know why - I've just got The Dread

I'm getting this sharp, crampy pain in my central lower abdomen since yesterday afternoon. Last night in fact, it was really quite painful, I feel bloated and a bit gassy so I wonder if it's trapped wind. Standing upright and walking is uncomfortable with it.

Congrats vix!

Welcome back kat [waves]

Good luck testing today fishy

But down today. Had day 3 and 21 bloods done this cycle. Day 3 came back fine but day 21 came back inconclusive. Have to do both again next month. Worried now.

Ah thanks for all the early ovulation wisdom. It's helped me come to terms with the fact I def missed the boat this month, so I'm going to relax for the next three weeks and get properly back into it all next cycle, the minute AF has left the building! (Also now feel a bit better about the G&T and muchos vino I thoroughly enjoyed drank under duress tonight...)

Hi Kat . How did you even make that emoji?!

A pamper session sounds well in order Peaches. Sign me up for one too!

Starky I started using Instagram 2 years ago after my girl friends kept on at me! I only use that and Facebook, and neither very much. Mostly cat pictures!!

Glad the news went down well Twinky! Were you so very excited to finally be telling people?

So AF due today, had some light cramping and spotting but no AF. I never got spotting before last month so while it's new-ish I'm not falling for that again! I might announce that I'll test tomorrow just to bring on AF so the next cycle can begin.

starts to boogie to the waiting room music...

jem I'm absolutely exhausted, feel so drained every evening! But I got to tell my mum and sister this evenING who are both over the moon!

Am keeping my fingers crossed for some BFPS over the next few weeks!

Hi ema hope AF stays away! Your oh sounds very sweet

Hello kat good to see you!

Ah skip how frustrating! hope you get clarity either way soon

Sorry about bfn peaches, pamper session sounds just the ticket

Glitter ball and stereo gratefully received ni let's put some Ace of Base on. All that she wants anyone?

twinky how are you getting on?

FX yey fir terrible old 90s RnB. Have a lovely time away and hope you manage to chill a bit!

Kat hello, welcome back. I thought it was a set of scales.

no AF today for me, might test again if nothing tomorrow. DH is being great, has a plan for acoiding booze if I get my BFP and has reminded me that it would be nice to relax and drink at the weekend if BFN. He is being pretty wonderful - I feel very lucky.

Ladies I have early ovulation the cycle I got my BFP. I had a peak fertility on day 9 and the DtD on day 10 and 11. I had ewcm on both of these days. I think I would usually ovulate slightly later than this but this was my first month of doing OPKs so I don't know for sure though! I wasn't expecting it until a couple of days later at least as hats what FF and ovia had been telling me for the previous few cycles!

OMG yes I remember Choc and I was all 'just enjoy this opportunity to get to understand your body better'. Excuse me, old Skip from threads past, but shut up ye fanny. I thought I'd have a wee poke about, see where the old cervix is at and its medium, semi-open. So, even my cervix doesn't seem to know whats going on.

I am done. I am so excited about going away, and nervous and everything and counting down the days so sod you crappy uterus I DONT NEED YOU TO HAVE FUN.

Hey Kat, wassup.

insists on playing terrible 90's R&B in the waiting room at full volume till some old biddy from next door loses her shit

Hello Kat!! Long time no see!! Glad you're back on it and feeling refreshed!

Fx I'm so frustrated for you!! and hoping you're one of those people who just don't show on wee tests...remember Choc going through all that in January? Well I guess time will tell.

donates a glitter ball and stereo to the waiting room...may as well pump some tunes and have a giggle dance routine?!

Finally plucked up the courage to do my test this morning, bfn, just waiting on af to go back to scratch so as to speak booked a little pamper session at my beauticians to cheer myself up a little.

kat hello., glad to see you no idea what those little emoji are. kav yes, they are like the flux capacitor in the delirium

skip that's shit! Real limbo land! Hope you can not dwell to much and enjoy your holiday. Sounds amazing what you have planned

Tablets playing up and I'm struggling to post. Hope everyone's days are going well

Fingers crossed what happened for you will for me too vix! :) I'm enjoying being a bit more relaxed actually so who knows.

Heya Kat - have no clue what that emote is. My inner geek is comparing it to the power thingy in Back to the Future that powers the time circuits in the DeLorean? ...

SkyLucy, Fertility Friend is insisting I ovulated on CD10 this period, waaaaay earlier than I usually would. I started getting EWCM from CD7 so I guess it's not outside the realms of possibility though. I'm rapidly learning that the period that I thought was pretty much set in stone is actually very variable when I pay attention to my body's signs. That said, I'm not sure how much faith I put in it because my ovulation kit reckoned I hit peak on CD11, and Fertility Friend has switched my ovulation dates on me before towards the end of a cycle for some reason - a couple of times now, each time by 2 days. Also it's telling me my cycle should end on CD 25 this month now instead of CD27 but I'm really not sure that is right!

Struggled to get into my fat jeans this morning. I've had 2 weeks off exercise with back problems or illness and I'm grumpy. Back to one of my classes tonight I think, in the hopes I can start fighting back the extra inches! My problem is that I hate dieting - I love food too much to restrict myself.

really sorry for you BFN fx - these randomly late AF are just hideous.

Try to enjoy your holiday !!

Hello Kat !!!! [waves]

starts tearing pages from the magazines to make oragami cranes

Hello strangers!!! (And actual strangers who I haven't met yet! waves. I'm Kat... I'm an original from the heady days of thread 1. But my ovaries don't seem to want to make babies so I got bored and gave up (firstly giving a shit, then OPKs and testing and all that, then mums net and sex) for a while. But think I might be about ready to give it another go.

So whadddiddi miss? xx

P.s. What's this??

Hey guys I'm still here. CD 39, 11 days late but tested this morning (OH made me) and BFN (with a clearblue digital no less, sodding waste of money) so I'm well and truly fed up now. Going to wait till back from holiday, where if AF hasn't shown I will have missed two. FFS didn't see this coming!! Thought my cycles would settle down all polite like, and then when I was ready my BFP would come through on the day AF was due. No fair!! I've no symptoms anyway, other than dull cramps in my lower belly, so sore boobs (if anything they've shrunk!!)

Skylucy don't beat yourself up about it. Honestly. People have had their BFPs without any EWCM, and when they least expected it, and when people thought they'd done everything right they get BFN - Its random!!

Come and join us in the waiting room - bring snacks curls up on a row of plastic chairs and goes to sleep

I spend all my time following cute baby/family instagrammers. My DP calls me a stalker! Oh and baby fashion.... Lol
My personal favourite instagrammers are mummydaddyme and pobke, although I worryingly feel as though I know these complete strangers!! Lol

I'm on Instagram too!!

I use IG stark, DM me your user name
