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!

Don't worry ! I don't trust the boobs! And I know I get a bit crazy at this stage most months.

Thanks for keeping me sane as always!

Ni4444 · 14/05/2016 12:14

Ooh Moose that sounds fab!!! Have a fantastic time! I must tell the OH about that idea!! Bday in 2 weeks 😀

Fx that is hysterical!!! Another sign that made me think I was preggers was cervix was high. Now let me rephrase that...I could never bleeding find Hugh so actually what I mean is that it was spacious up there, rather than the tighter space it is just before AF arrives. How's yours?!

Aw Feefs heartbeat is fab!! I wanna see one!!!

LovelyFishy · 14/05/2016 12:01

Sorry to hear about the rubbish view Bluebird. Sad It's a shame when you're excited about something special, do your best, then someone else mucks it up. Hopefully you and DH can still enjoy some quality time together. WineCake

Yay on the excellent scan results Feefs! Grin

Russkispy · 14/05/2016 10:50

I usually release the stinker a week before AF but none of that happened this time. Where's the shhhmelly gas when you need it the. You know AF is definitely coming in style! So fat chance of that so far. Woke up with no sore/tender boobs as such. Which always indicates that AF is coming. But nothing so far. Some brown-ish discharge inside. Girls are saying - do no trust the boobs! I just don't know what to trust or not anymore. I've never experienced anything like it this time and so confused! CD33 today and all could shout WTF! DH is looking petrified haha
I used to work for oil company in the Northern part of Iraq. Run the office for 4 years. And now back at home with my DH and at "it" like rabbits hahaha
Oh and no POAS anymore!

AliceScarlett · 14/05/2016 10:24

feefs great news Smile

Jem you get pms really early! :( hope it is a lie.

Feefeefs · 14/05/2016 10:21

Had my repeat of early scan baby blob with heartbeatSmile

vixarooni · 14/05/2016 09:47

Hey guys! Nice to see ipatches got a bfp!

I'm in a land where my cycles are getting longer and longer. Cd35 today yay! I just want it done because I need to hit next month haaard, mainly because we have to stop for the wedding.

I so hope you're pregnant Russ but boy, have I been there so many times! I swear our bodies really play tricks on us because they want to reproduce so much! I realised when I first started trying a lot of what I experienced was all symptoms of AF that I hadn't really given attention to before. Like my nipples tingle when I'm due on but i must have just ignored it!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'll be spending all of it doing a period dance!

bluebird3 · 14/05/2016 09:11

You all are too funny. I also have noxious gas but that's just me. Dh does too so I quite happily fart in front of him to 'get him back' since he is way worse than me. I'm actually starting to think I have a dairy intolerance. That would be the saddest thing ever as cheese is pretty much my best friend.

We're away this weekend for a 'country escape.' Booked a room with a lake view...got here and have been given a dirt road/service entrance view. Hotel has no availability to swap and are blaming hotels.com. I was so upset as it was supposed to be a lovely relaxing weekend away and we spent a lot more than we usually do. Ended having a big cry and poor dh stayed to comfort me instead of watching the football in the bar! Sad

Hahaha skip feef! Farty tales are too amusing Smile

Ooh moose enjoy your fancy tea Wine

hep say no to the boobs and their sneaky ways Envyfx for you

skip you know you can hit the cross in the top right corner to read the thread mid message? It won't lose your typing. This helps me hide the smelly stupidness Smile

alice I haven't thought about POAS yet either. We are so well instructed Smile it's 8dpo for me and I've got sore boobs and cramps as usual - pretty sure it'll be AF on time next week. But let's wait and see Hmm

AliceScarlett · 14/05/2016 08:20

You lot are making me laugh this morning Grin

I'm holding out for my Starky star, it's going to be a mission, thought to myself this morning "what's the harm of testing at 10dpo?" um lots! I havent poas for three cycles I'm not going to start now.

Jamjar12 · 14/05/2016 08:19

Haha if it helps, tell your OHs that they've just got to be brave and take one for the team now as when that BFP comes, sex is pretty much off the menu for the first trimester! We've always had a pretty healthy sex life but since our BFP, have done it 3 times. It's not even on my radar but yesterday I spilt ice cream down my top and saw my poor DH practically salivating on the sofa next to me. Hoping now I'm entering the 2nd trimester, I'll get some oomph back for his sake!

So tell your OHs they need to get it while they can!! Blush

FXSkip · 14/05/2016 07:52

Ah moose that sounds lovely!!! My OH is taking me to B&Q in a bit Blush he's such a romantic!

FXSkip · 14/05/2016 07:51

Ha ha feefs I think i might always have been this stinky!!! Thanks though

hep don't trust the boobs. Never. Trust. The. Boobs. Welcome to the 'What the feck is my body up to?' Club. I hope you don't have to join the FWW (that's the four week wait) club too and you get your bfp soon!

This stupid app hides the chat while you're typing and already I've forgotten who else I was talking to Confused and all week I've been getting words wrong and forgetting to finish my sentences. Kinda hoping I'm PG and not just stupid AND smelly.

Mooseville · 14/05/2016 07:31

hep don't trust the boobs!

Mooseville · 14/05/2016 07:30

fx and feefs you've had me proper giggling this morning! I mean I can't believe you actually helped look for a dead rodent!!
I would not get away with that!

Hi Russ! Sorry to hear about your issues, fingers crossed once you're home you find out one way or another. I'm Herts based, just near N London so not too far away! What were you doing in Iraq? That sounds like a hard/intresting posting?

Bloody men - although Ni that even confuses me! I can see my DP being the same, well if he ever manages to understand basic biology and conception and manages to DTD! Wink
I can't complain though, he's taking me to afternoon tea at the Ritz today, so excited. It was a Christmas present but has just rolled round.... At least I can enjoy some guilt free champers!

HepKestrel · 14/05/2016 06:55

I think oh is too polite to call me out on my stinkers Blush

HepKestrel · 14/05/2016 06:54

fx lol!

Oh wants to know what I'm sniggering over.

Cd28.... Still no sore boobs . looking at my notes I usually get the sore painful boobs 1-2 days before AF. (Just mildly tender still).

Please stop me over analysising this!

At this rate next isw is going to miss our holiday too. Sad

Feefeefs · 14/05/2016 06:12

That's too funny fx.

Wind is definitely an early pregnancy symptom Wink. Personally I'm farting so much I'm actually bored of it! And on Thursday I accidentally let one rip in the office and there was no mistaking it! I just studiously ignored it Blush

FXSkip · 14/05/2016 04:34

Yes russki she's given up on me too - like she's sulking until I test. I have researched until I'm blue in the face and my research is leading me to believe I am not pregnant. I just want AF now! Gas update though: my OH made me search the bedroom for a deceased rodent (I obliged. No way was I going to confess I was the source) felt like a moron searching under bed shouting 'all clear' whilst secretly releasing the most noxious gas I've ever had!

I'm not temping anymore as my sleep cycles are so irregular anyway. I'm trying to take this as a lesson in patience but it is so hard.

Russkispy · 14/05/2016 01:18

Thanks mummy87, thankfully DH is understanding, bless him!
My Ovia gave up on me just now since I'm not updating it with AF! Got no news, doh! God, why can't it be so damn straight forward!
No plans this weekend apart from trying to relax about it all!

AliceScarlett · 13/05/2016 23:13

skip it was CD20, one noticeable amount and cramping for 12 hours after. Nothing since. Never had anything like it, AF is always brown spotting for a few days beforehand and much heavier.
Maybe you did just have a mini period? Weird. Do you temp? I think you're upduffed Wink

Starky I'm hoping the next week goes quickly for you Flowers

Sorry to hear you're feeling grumpy Pug, have some Wine DH and I have a similar pattern, it's frustrating for you, it's not nice for him, there are no winners.

Ni4444 · 13/05/2016 22:33

Evening ladies, officially week 5 today (still just stuck in the hoping it sticks phase). OH is having major problems understanding how I'm 5 weeks, when I ovulated/conceived 3 weeks ago! I have of course explained that it means 5 weeks since last AF but when I show him things like what size a 5week embryo is he's all "Yeah but you're not 5weeks"! Bloody men...he has to disagree with something!!

Sorry to hear about the limboness Russ and Fx. Buy a big stash of tampons...that's what I did... Then got BFP!!

Any nice plans for weekend? I've booked nothing, just time with OH! Hope the sun comes out!!!

LovelyFishy · 13/05/2016 22:27

This ttc lark really seems to play havoc with our men. And to think we were always led to believe they're sex crazed!

Ovia is being mean this month, she's basically trying to tell me she thinks I'm pregnant. I am less than convinced...

Pugmummy87 · 13/05/2016 21:48

Welcome Russ I agree with starky stress can play havoc with your cycles and it sounds like you've had a fair bit of stress recently! However, I know how it feels when people tell you to 'just relax!'

I have been a proper grumpy cow this evening. I'm glad DH is out as I would have no doubt snapped at him about something too.
Also we tried to dtd last night and he couldn't finish. I feel a bit mean as I don't think he was really up for it but he said he would 'oblige' when I said about the 2nd peak I got on the cb's and also to cover ourselves. So we've really only dtd twice so far this cycle. Now cd17.
