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....

Haven't ovulated yet according to the sticks, but ovia says I'm in my fertile window. DTD today and hoping to seduce DH into doing it again several times this week!

Will be testing in 2 wks time if no AF. Cycle was 28 days last month and 35 the month I came off the pill.

Negatron on the OPK today. I repeat. Negatron on the OPK. Off to Rome on Thursday and if I'm honest I'm just winging it for the next few cycles to see what's going on downstairs. I'm enjoying the practicing. Chart is looking seismic again this month haha.

Where are you Kwick?

In the true Kwick spirit of keeping feets warm, I bought some winter boots at the weekend. After my walk home in the rain and cold, I can confirm that my feet are the warmest they've ever been.

This was a cooler story in my head.
