Calling all OPK-ers, Temp-ers, Clomid-ers, Femara-ers, IUI-ers, IVF-ers and anyone else on the TTC #1 Bus.

Happy New Year! It's 2017 and it's OUR year Star

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. We've ditched the Gregorian calendar in favour of the TTC Cycle Day calendar, and we don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts, we just keep it 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!

We have a new Grad's Thread. We recently lost a whole load of ttc veterans to the good side and we're absolutely desperate to join in the fun! May 2017 lead us all to upduffed heaven and the Grad's thread, amen.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly, don't convince yourself that you're pregnant in the tww. That is paramount!

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

Am just disappointed by how rough it looks!!! Lob sided and odd. Sk1pper your post made me laugh 😂

Flashinthepan · 12/01/2017 22:24

FXLX pyjamas. That's the defensive position to be adopted during the 2ww.

Yeah I like the silky smooth post wax time too peaches. I'm looking forward to af being over so I can Dtd. Hopefully that is my weekend extra treat!

Pyjamas81 · 12/01/2017 22:09

That's true skipper - who knows! No sign of anything and all spotting gone let's see what tomorrow brings...

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 20:54

Is it too late Pyjamas? Many women mistake their period for implantation...just saying.

Kwick - yeah was aiming for Diacetylmorphine and came out with more paracetamol. Grin

Pyjamas81 · 12/01/2017 20:29

Am about 13dpo London - so too late for implantation bleed I think. Spotting has now stopped. So strange.

Love the cake!!

kwick · 12/01/2017 20:06

Alexia and Pug wish I could give you both a hug Flowers

Love the picture pyjamas Grin

I am up for that Hep!!! We are making marmalade this weekend!!! still need to do my tax return

LOL sk1pper!!! Get better Flowers I know it is a fcuk wank = no hard core drugs, but you could be pregnant?!

miw cake looks great!

harrietm87 · 12/01/2017 20:03

Wow miw great cake! I've given up all nice things for January (basically sugar!) and that's giving me mega cravings!

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 19:39

Jam - 7dpo, but it's too early to test for pg so he cant give me anything. There's no way pregnant after this though but I know it's just procedure.

Kathrino · 12/01/2017 19:32

That cake is amazing miw! My cake decorating is limited to chucking a bunch of edible glitter over a cake and hoping it distracts everyone!

Sorry to hear you're still in so much pain sk1pper, take care of yourself Flowers

Pyjamas, hope your body starts behaving soon!

Londonjam · 12/01/2017 19:15

Do they think the pain could be related to early pregnancy skipper? How many DPO are you? Hope your wrist is okay.

Miw cake looks great mate

Hmm pyjamas that's confusing, do you have any cramps? How many DPO are you?

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 19:06

Miw - shit?? It's way better than anything I could make!

Doctor was sympathetic but won't prescribe me anything more than paracetamol incase I'm pregnant. Frustrating. As. Fuck.

miwelaisjacydo · 12/01/2017 19:01

Just spend the last hour decorating a cake for a friend. It looks like shit though. It's the worst one o have made.

Pug and alexia 🌸🌸🌸🌸 for you two xx please take care and give yourselves time to heal .

Pyjamas81 · 12/01/2017 18:51

Glad the pic brought a few smiles 😊 skipper - that is so me when AF arrives!

So confused (and more than a little 😤) - AF still hasn't arrived and still only the tiniest bit of pink CM when I wipe, and only if I really look (the things we do). Arrrrrrrgh. This is bollocks. I'm having a beer tonight and no one can stop me.

Kaydee2017 · 12/01/2017 17:19

Hope the docs were able to sort you out skipper Flowers also did a lol at the pic, think it's something we all know too well!!

Also still thinking of you both alexia & pug Flowers

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 17:07

This is me on my period.

Thread 23. TTC #1 - New Year, New Opportunities. Let's keep those BFPs rolling in!
Peaches8Posies · 12/01/2017 16:51

pyjamas sorry you are out. Great pic though, this is definitely me when af arrives! Lol Smile

Hope the doc sorts you out sk1p

flash i love getting waxed. Obviously not the actual waxing part but the results at the end. Going to see if I can get an appointment at my beauticians and get my eyebrows waxed and a few wee treats.

Also booked a comedy show for weekend after af is due. Will get dinner and drinks sorted too. Hopefully non alcoholic ones though. If not then it's a fuck night to look forward to.

hep yes it has came crashing down. Hopefully won't be long and it's back up.

jam enjoy your lunch. Hope you have DH with you next week for some well timed dtd.

pug alexia still thinking of you both SadFlowersFlowers xx

Londonjam · 12/01/2017 15:35

Hi alice how are you doing?
Eurgh pyjamas last thing you need. Hope its not AF
I'm up for that hep, I've just arranged to meet one of my favourite friends for lunch on Saturday so that will be a treat for me.

DH has just been called off standby so is gone until Monday. I'm not due to ovulate for a week, but it's so stressful not knowing if he's going to be here or not. Hate standby!

Hippychic79 · 12/01/2017 15:23

Good luck at the Doc's Sk1pper xxx

Sounds like a good plan Hep :)

Flash - not sure a bikini wax counts, but hey ho, each to their own :) lol

Pyjamas - sorry to hear you've been baby bombed at work... but fx doesn't sound like your out just yet.

xxx

Pyjamas81 · 12/01/2017 15:16

That's exactly what I'll be doing hep. Going to have all the 🍻. Just been baby bombed at work as well 😞

Still only very very very faint spotting when I wipe (sorry tmi) - so who the hell knows what's going on.

Flashinthepan · 12/01/2017 15:07

That sounds like a great idea Hep. I'm starting on Friday with a bikini wax. I'm guessing that counts as a treat if you're a masochist right?

HepKestrel · 12/01/2017 15:02

how about we all take a promise to treat and spoil ourselves this weekend?

AliceScarlett · 12/01/2017 14:53

Alexia and Pug hugs to you both Flowers

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 14:27

I've been better Miranda - body feels like it's tearing itself apart, paracetamol not enough but seeing a Doctor today so I'm hoping to be prescribed something stronger.

Kathrino · 12/01/2017 14:15

Just echoing what everyone else has said far more eloquently than I could, thinking of you both Flowers

OrangeCloud18 · 12/01/2017 13:55

I'm so sorry pug and Alexia Flowers
