Thread 21 TTC #1 - The one where all our cycles went haywire but we DID NOT GIVE UP

Calling all clomid-ers, OPK-ers, temp-ers and anyone else on the TTC Bus.

We are long past cervix prodding (in fact we know where it is at any given time just by closing our eyes) and we have ditched the Gregorian calendar in favour of the TTC Cycle Day calendar. We don't do baby dust, or baby-dancing, we just keep legs spread and fingers crossed (LSFX) We love a baby bomb from a prior bus-mate, but if we get told to 'just relax and enjoy it' ONE MORE TIME you will get a punch in the face. You get kwick-cake if you behave, and talked down from the ledge when you need it.

Hop on board, post your stats and prepare to be dazzled by the wealth of TTC knowledge we long-timeys have to share....

I am really sorry jam andnicky Flowers

I had a lovely schleep - with a lovely dream where I fainted because I was preggers.... please please please let this be my time!

Happy Friday everyone!!
I just have to get through the onslaught of today and then I have a week off!!!!

Sorry to hear that Nicky - hope the hycosy does the trick!
Has anyone else had a play around with the signs analyser on FF (VIP membership only)? You pick 5 cycles and then it shows you your common signs. For me that's o-pain at o-1 and tender boobs at 9dpo- useful if you always end up symptom spotting and convincing yourself you're pregnant when it's always bloody AF. Here's mine.

Starmist · 18/11/2016 06:17

I'm sorry Jam Flowers at least you can put it out of your mind though & carry on with the positive thoughts for this current cycle. FX your not getting poorly xx

I'll put some pics on of my folder tonight once I've made the front cover Wink

Londonjam · 17/11/2016 20:16

Took a test to shut my stupid brain up and lo and behold its negative. Idiot. Which also means I must be coming down with something Envy

kwick · 17/11/2016 19:49

Sorry my last post was before I had finished getting caught up.

Alexia I really hope you are proved wrong. What a fcuker. Flowers

mouse just get your LS and I will keep my FX!

mrs you had better do the same!!!!

Grin starmist I love the sound of your binder!

So I just had my pineapple... should have known better to buy from man that sells everything for a £1 - will need to get another one tomorrow.

I slept so badly last night - hope I get some proper rest tonight. I am catching up on I am celebrity first though (guilty pleasure).

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 19:36

I am just confused, I didn't ovulate until CD17 last month and it was my first month off the pill so thought I'd maybe ov a little earlier this month but not this early Blush

Good job DH agreed to a quickie before work, he's just walked out of the door!

MouseLove · 17/11/2016 19:30

MrsG get DTD!!!! Grin

Star oh my your folder sounds good. Please share pics because I'm slightly weird about craft/stationery/organisation stuff lol

Well, we're both absolutely shattered. Plans are failing badly lol

HepKestrel · 17/11/2016 19:09

mrsG I have ovulated that early before.

Alexia fx your wrong. Flowers

Flying home from latest work trip to a house which still is chaos from builders. I will be Zen like and unstressed....I will be Zen like and unstressed......

Starmist · 17/11/2016 18:47

Alexia oh hun I'm so sorry. Sending you a massive hug FlowersFlowersFlowers

Skipper I'm very close to my mum & I felt I wouldn't want to tell her I was preggers without her knowing we were trying. My dad knows we are TTC too but I don't tell him much about it, so he doesn't know we are going for tests or anything as he'd only worry.
Ooh I only stick 1 finger up for CM Hmm

Oh Skip each cycle goes so slowly I don't blame you for caving early. At least you know you aren't out yet though.

Jam I know what you mean about the BFN fear but it might just put your mind at rest & you'll know for certain then.

Mouse hope Rome is fab & I hope Mr Mouse approves of the underwear!

I've bought some lovely new pens & dividers ready for my opk folder. I've got a calendar printed off so I can plan what to do each day. DH thinks I've lost my mind but it's making me happy so who cares!

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 18:45

Yes that's an ov test. Yesterday's was massively negative!

WantingBaby1 · 17/11/2016 18:43

So sorry alexia FX you're wrong :(

mrs ovulation test?

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 18:31

Okay so I'm only CD10 and just got this! Confused

kwick · 17/11/2016 18:21

Oh Fxskip we all have our moments of madness... I am still grateful that we live in an age where can test. Anyway onward and upward - your BFP is just around the corner.

jam I think starting with opks is very good advice from fxskip

mrs FXLS!!!!!

geeup · 17/11/2016 17:53

Music - yep 7dpo and everything as normal. Was out for drinks last night and tonight so that's keeping my mind off it a bit Wine

MouseLove · 17/11/2016 17:40

Alexia I hope you're wrong. I really do. Sending good ROME vibes.

I did an OPK at 9pm last night and it was faint again. Either I surged in the night or early morning yesterday or mid afternoon and then petered off. I don't know. I'm not sure anymore. I just know yesterday's 1pm OPK was almost the same colour as the first line. It won't stop me trying to DTD!! I bought sexy undies for the occasion. Lol

sk1pper · 17/11/2016 17:34

Nicky - thanks, that explains a lot for me this cycle!

Musicgrrl · 17/11/2016 17:27

Ooh thanks gee I'm going to do that too I think. Are you in your tww currently?

Musicgrrl · 17/11/2016 17:26

Oh Alexia I'm so so sorry. It really is a rollercoaster isn't it Sad I agree with FXskip that your body knows what it's doing although appreciate that is little consolation. I am also a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and we are all going to get our babies sooner or later - we just have to ride out the journey.

geeup · 17/11/2016 17:23

Alexia - thinking of you and still got my Fingers crossed
Music - I take vit B complex for a short luteal phase (was approx 10 days now 12). It took about 3-4 mths to lengthen but I only take from ovulation to end of cycle and not in first half of cycle.

Nicky883 · 17/11/2016 17:09

Londonjam i have the same phobia ! Af still not here but i refuse to test as it feels like its comming any time now !

AlexiaB · 17/11/2016 17:05

Thanks all, I really appreciate it Flowers I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am. I'm all crampy now too. Gosh what a roller coaster this journey is Sad

skipper it would be due tomorrow as I have a short LP so I'd be 11/12dpo.

Jam do a cheapie test if it'll calm your mind? Flowers

FX sorry about your BFN but as you know it's so early. I'm LSFX for you! Same for you kwick! Hope that magic potion is working wonders in there.

Hep yay to the end of AF!

Music b-complex didn't mess up my cycle and I take it every day. If you're worried just start after O hun.

Mouse hope you're enjoying Rome and lots of fun BD Wink

Sorry to those of you who are struggling at the moment too Flowers❤️

Londonjam · 17/11/2016 16:46

Oh no alexia Sad I so hope you are wrong FlowersFlowers

Fxskip nothing to be ashamed of I'm having a full psychosomatic pregnancy this week and I've had my period Hmm we just want it so much our brains just lead us into the crazy.

I kind of wish I hadn't developed a full blown BFN phobia as I absolutely loathe testing now there's no fun or excitement in it now Envy

Nicky883 · 17/11/2016 16:33

Skipper from what i have learned it helps with the cm
