Thread 23. TTC #1 - New Year, New Opportunities. Let's keep those BFPs rolling in!

Kwick frer?

Um mum have you got a FRER to use in the morning?

Six days before my af and got this on my opk does anyone know what it means

Lovely ring sk1pper! I will not mention the living in sin part

binky remember you are in perfect time

Jam, we're west london at the moment but are considering moving a bit further up and out so we were property hunting in north london today. Are you based that way? I'm a west/south west london girl at heart but trying to see where we can get the most for our money!

Do you live in north London kath?

It's so hard isn't it? We had lunch at a pub today and we were surrounded by what seemed to be the entire infant population of north London. Meanwhile, we were discussing the various fertility tests we're having over the next month or so :/

Beautiful ring sk1pper!

Well done for holding it together binky a little cry in the loo is definitely needed every now and then. I enjoyed seeing my friends baby and had a little cuddle. Glad I'm in stable hormone part of cycle, if this was TWW I'd be a mess!

binky I think we have all had to sneak away for a private cry during this ttc-lark (I certainly have!). look after yourself.

What a lovely ring skipper! Exciting 😁

I didn't get baby bombed but did have a little cry in the toilet 😞 Feel like a piece of me is missing. Think I need to do a clear out or something like you guys to distract me

Lush ring Sk1pper xxx

skipper that ring is gorgeous !

Skipper a clear out makes good sense to me. That ring is beautiful

Hugs binky it's such a hard reminder being around babies / pregnants. I'm on my way to meet a friend and her tiny baby just now. Bit worried I might cry on it

Pic doesn't do it justice but it's a Celtic knot design, OH has the same but his pattern is oxidised to make it more masculine.

Stays cool binks, I hope you are pleasantly surprised and have a lovely time xx

Glad I'm not the only one regarding having a clear out, it's a good thing to be doing in the 2ww of you need a distraction.

OH and I paid off our wedding rings in town, I'm so so happy. I don't know if it's bad luck to wear it before but I just wanted to make sure mine fitted.

Sk1pper, we've been doing exactly the same partly to clear some space but also, as you say, to get some extra funds although at this point it's more about cash to pay for private treatment than any baby stuff sadly.

Binky, hope you aren't baby bombed today

Sorry about your BFN pyjamas. Hope you're enjoying your fuck it day!

Hey all, Busy few days so just trying to catch up (this thread gets so busy!)

Hello new people 👋
Sorry those with BFN/ AF
Thanks kwick for the PM

I'm off to see friends with babies and one due to pop..if the only other non- mum drops a baby bomb today I think it might break me. We got married around the same time but I've always been the broody one in the group and she's the party one. If I'm last of the group to have my much longed for baby it's going to be even more painful. I know it's not a competition, it's just I thought I'd be a mum years ago and here I am still trying 😞

jam your dream will come true very soon.

sk1pper great idea - I did the same about a year ago... but seem to have reaccumulated! Now I have a list of cupboards I need to go through (wait! Just had a flashback to another dream from last night - where I suddenly had loads more cupboard space!!!) and declutter. I need to be RUTHLESS!!! But I take after my mother and am a hoarder...

Jam - always rubbish when you get a BFP, then wake up. Grr!

I'm waiting for OH to get his shit together so we can go out. Not sure if this is sad or not but I'm trying to make a bit of extra cash for my future baby by selling the the things I don't need on eBay. A clear out is probably a bit premature at this stage but I'm just thinking of all the non essentials I can buy with it, like toys and maybe a baby swing.

Yep I've lost it!

EJ this morning I added frozen spinach and flaxseed 👍🏼

Time going slow for me on day 10 too Harriet although this is the best part of my cycle for hormones / mood 🙂

Sorry pyjamas ☹️ I hate seeing that bfn. Hope you enjoy your F it day

Fx skipper hep and any other testers

I had a vivid dream last night I got a BFP. The lines were wavy at first then went straight. I was trying to take a picture of it to post on here ☹️

Kwick - aww thanks lovely xx Strange dreams because of sugar or preggo? Or both!

Pyjamas - sorry about your BFN pyjamas, great PMA though. I've cut milk out of my diet and instead I'm drinking coconut milk. I've just been surprised to read it can have as much (or more) calcium than milk, BUT it's high in saturated fat. So you could weigh up your options with that one?

Hep - my AF is due Wednesday too! No idea when I ovulated because I starting get cyst pain way before CD14 (usual ovulation day). It will be a big surprise.

Sorry pyjamas. Cd29 here, am in that impatient step of waiting for AF who is due anytime now before Wednesday.< drums finger nails on table>

pyjamas so sorry

jam I had to binge watch The 👑... and then watched bits again with my mum. Cannot wait for season 2!!

harriet dairy is really important for fertility!!! This is part of what my notes say: stick to milk, cottage cheese and natural or greek yoghurt
I forgot to mention cayenne pepper: this has shown to increase blood flow to the uterus faster than any other food

Another array of strange dreams last night... one where I hooked up with an old flame and there was something about telling him he was not the father... another one where I was at my FC and treatment room was thoroughfare... too much sugar last night maybe!!!

Right breakfast: eggs and avocado!!!

Just tested and got a BFN - not even a whisper of a line, and feels like AF is coming. Damnation. Looks like the spotting is just another brand new delight my womb may or may not decide to throw at me each month. Oh well, me and DH have an excellent fuck it day planned and we're going to have ALL the 🍺 tonight. Stupid bastard womb.
