Thread 25. TTC #1 - February Fertility Fighters on the FRONTLINE

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

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...

Ha ha I know right Flash!

OH has just text me saying "since you're feeling a bit under the weather, fancy pizza tonight". That is music too my ears. A food baby is better than no baby. Grin

Kathrino · 08/02/2017 14:58

Sorry guys, work has been manic over the last couple of days and I've totally fallen off the thread!

Flash, I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy. Can't think of any other reason why we bunch of lovely ladies can't get pregnant and so many other people seem to manage it without even trying!

Feel better soon kwick and look after yourself. Feet up, lots of chocolate and some crappy TV.

Flowers to all those who need them.

Flashinthepan · 08/02/2017 14:38

So to get pregnant all we need to do is have a baby? Wink Oh the irony!

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 14:36

Flash - that's actually really common, you are insanely fertile after giving birth. Even if you've had previous infertility issues. You'd be crazy to not use protection right after giving birth but some people do it.

Flashinthepan · 08/02/2017 14:17

Gobsmacked! There is a thread on Conception (the second one in a few weeks) about someone who has accidently fallen pregnant 2 months after giving birth! Just like that, two pregnancies, at the drop of a hat!

HepKestrel · 08/02/2017 14:10

glad you are headed home kwick

if you can't have a bath, what about relaxing whilst soaking your feet in hotwater (with nice oils if available) and a nice Brew with optional Chocolate ? You can also add a nice feel good film or book to the mix?

kwick · 08/02/2017 14:00

So AF can just frigging stay away from you all!!!!

I am on my way home - just feel yuck. Probably anxiety about the scan. Could not face further work.

Flashinthepan · 08/02/2017 13:56

Also, I cannot comment on the validity of any symptoms as I think I have all the symptoms all the time, and clearly cannot tell the difference but FX they mean a BFP or two are coming our way!

Flashinthepan · 08/02/2017 13:55

Ladies sorry for all the fanjo misbehaving! Anyone who needs a laugh, check out the Mr Pink Cock and She Cock parking thread. Its a continuation from one yesterday. The whole thing is excellent light relief!

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 13:41

Well spotting at 8dpo sounds v promising indeed skipper!

Fanjo has packed its bags and left me. Fine, see if I care 😒

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 13:38

Pyjamas - 9dpo and step away from the fanjo!!! Oh wait you can't...it's attached

HepKestrel · 08/02/2017 13:23

my feet are frozen ! my injured foot especially so (could slight swelling hinder circulation slightly ?). Have resorted to cracking out the hotwater bottle.

oh pyjamas lol.....

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 13:18

Pyjamas that made me LOL!!

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 13:10

Spotting is getting less and less (I won't have a fanjo left at this rate with all the aggressive wiping - soz DH). I HATE THIS WEEK.

What dpo are you skipper? That's all sounding promising!

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 13:07

I hope so skipper!!!

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 13:05

I've got my fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies xx law of averages means at least one of us is upduffed, surely Grin

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 12:44

I'm so hopeful for you both skipper and pyjamas!!

Tmi alert .... there seems to be a fair bit of 'wet' there but nothing else. Totally driving myself mental.

Out for dinner tonight so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied for a while then maybe I'll use a FRER tomorrow morning. Confused

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 12:30

I'm okay, my body is confusing me though. It seems to break from its pattern from time to time in funny little ways. Normally I have sore boobs up until AF. My boobs stopped hurting last night just as I had the spottting and PMS (this was why I was certain AF was starting) but today there is 0 symptoms. And the cramping I've had since ovulation has completely vanished now.

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 12:17

I hear you on going to the loo a million times bluebell - I think I may just move my laptop to the loo Confused really hope AF stays away for you! I'm still exactly the same, pink CM when wiping, nothing else.

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 12:01

Thanks kaydee and pyjamas.
I'm not entirely sure when AF should be due - OVIA and Cycles app predict tomorrow. But my last few cycles have been 33, 27 and then 24 days. I'm CD27 today, and I think 11dpo (I can't temp as I wake up through the night and get up at different times for work each day but did get a positive OPK 12 days ago!)

I've been to the loo what feels like about a million times this morning but no further colour appearing. Fingers crossed it was just in my head and I'll get a BFP soon but I'm not feeling hopeful still. Lower abdo feels tight but less crampy than it has done recently. Argh, driving myself INSANE!! Envy

How you all doing today? The TWW is enough to drive anyone mental 😬

Kaydee2017 · 08/02/2017 08:44

Sorry bluebell Flowers but you're not out until she actually appears, so fx!!

And still fx for skipper & pyjamas!

Wishing away the hours until your scan tomorrow for you kwick Smile

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 08:42

Cycle hanging in there is a good silver lining skipper 😊 I'm 98% sure am out - the same thing happened last cycle so hopes aren't high. Just want this limbo to be over!

Sorry about BFN bluebell 💐💐 when is AF due? It's horrible seeing that BFN 🙁

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 08:36

Morning everyone. I caved and did an IC this morning but it was a whiter than white negative. Just noticed some colour when wiping now..... hoping I'm not out but think I am. Sad gutted.

harrietm87 · 08/02/2017 08:31

pyjamas and skipper I'm still rooting for you.

Love the pepper!

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 08:30

Ahh I don't think I'm preggers Pyjamas but at least my cycle is hanging in there. Are you sure it's a failed cycle as well then?
