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...

Am sure you'll be just fine kwick and like skipper, I think it's the little one burrowing in and getting comfortable. Glad your scan is soon to put your mind at ease!

Glad things are looking up skipper 🙂 I've still got the same so no news here. I've pretty much accepted my fate though.

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 08:04

Kwick - good luck for your scan tomorrow, but you won't need it hon. And no worrying! You can always mention the pains to the consultant if you're worried but I'm sure it's just your wobble making room.

kwick · 08/02/2017 07:59

Had fanjo stabbing pains last night and what is either crinone clumping or spotting... so anxious did a strip test - BFP. Thank God scan is tomorrow although I do not want any bad news - ok?

Londonjam · 08/02/2017 07:47

Hysterical goddamn pepper has got the be the next thread name 😂

Warning to AF - stay away ! You are not welcome🚫

Fx all testers 🤞🏼

Kaydee2017 · 08/02/2017 07:41

Fx AF stays away for everyone this morning!!

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 07:29

Pyjamas - I was nearly crying over your pepper this morning. Grin

Hep - not for definite, the spotting is completely non existent this morning even after I rooted around up there and the cramping has gone. My boobs have stopped hurting too, it normally means my period is due though. Trying not to think about it anymore, I'll go cray cray. How's your foot hon?

HepKestrel · 08/02/2017 07:16

Lsfx pyjamas, bluebell and kaydee
Have I missed anyone? Skipper are you definitely out? Flowers

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 07:13

HystericalCucumber would be a great name smitten 😂

You're not alone EJ - I'm the same!

Knicker Watch continues and still nothing - let's see what the day brings... I could test I suppose as am 13/14dpo but no, I'm waiting until the weekend.

Thinking of you skipper - hope you're ok x

EJ2009 · 08/02/2017 07:03

Pmsl at the pepper. I got a pang over a wildlife documentary with a chimp carrying a baby Grin

SmittenPears · 08/02/2017 04:46

Pyjamas, what a turn of phrase, "calm as a goddamn cucumber" made me crack up. Ummm is it too late to change my screen name to HystericalCucumber?? ;)

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 22:25

Pepper completely annihilated 💣💥🙂

WingingIt83 · 07/02/2017 22:03

Just jumping on quickly to say that the Stranger Things 2 trailer is on you tube!

Mrsbluebell17 · 07/02/2017 21:59

I'm CD26 too Kaydee! Fingers crossed for you x

Kaydee2017 · 07/02/2017 21:24

So sorry skipper Sad hope your bath helps a little Flowers

Hep that looks painful - ouch! Hope it subsides soon for you!

Pyjamas Flowers hope you stabbed the pepper to bits to vent some frustration Grin

Jam you sound so well prepared for your appointment, hope they get you the tests you need asap Smile

I'm on countdown to AF now, CD26, due anytime Fri - Sun! Just want this cycle over so we can get back to it!!

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 20:56

That's the annoying thing 88 - could be AF, could be something else! I'm 12 or 13 dpo and the pink CM started yesterday and AF is due Thurs or Friday - same thing happened last month before I got AF (for the first time ever). Never had spotting in my life, but of course, now I do when TTC! I still have a faint glimmer of hope, but mentally preparing myself as well. Thanks for sharing your story! Just goes to show - it's never straightforward!

88claire · 07/02/2017 20:47

Pyjamas

Is AF definitely coming? I really don't want to get your hopes up if it's nothing but I had 5 days of pink spotting last cycle before I got my BFP.

I've started to get it myself now and trying not to get my own hopes up! I'm only 3dpo......

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 20:32

Definitely a conspiracy - it's ok, felt much better after violently chopping it up 😈

No change here - still with the faint pink CM only when wiping.

Really hope you're relaxing skipper and feel better after a good cry 🌸🌺

You're right 88 - need to see the bright side. I'm doing ok at the moment - will probably be a different story once AF properly arrives, the ugly old hag.

That Fairy ad drives me nuts as well jam!

colourmylife · 07/02/2017 20:28

pyjamas that made me laugh out loud.

kwick · 07/02/2017 20:15

WTF pyjamas?? It must be a conspiracy Wink

Miranda234 · 07/02/2017 20:13

Ugh so sorry sk1pper hope you have as relaxing evening as you can given the circumstances Flowers

Hope it's not got you too pyjamas Flowers.
😂 to your vegetable photo/comment

hep that looks painful!! Hope it heals quickly for you

Ooh we' re looking for a new series to watch, will give it a go, thanks macs

Mrsbluebell17 · 07/02/2017 20:08

Macs I love stranger things. Season 2 is due this year too. Woooohoooo.

Pjs that pepper!!!!! Hopefully the spotting isn't going to go to AF.

Oh skip!! I really hope it's not AF for you, I was really really hopeful for you this cycle Flowers

I'm still sat here symptom spotting. Sending myself absolutely crazy.

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 20:00

Yep - there I was cooking dinner and feeling sorry for myself, cut through the pepper and had to laugh. A proper FML moment 😂

HepKestrel · 07/02/2017 19:50

Mac just got Netflix, its on my list!

macsworth · 07/02/2017 19:43

pyjamas 😂 that bitch of a pepper!

And yes jam, I have thought that! Do not put a picture of a baby on the TTC board!

skipper 💐💐 it's not fair, cry all you like, there is no shame in that.

hep that's an impressive injury!

I know I'm a bit late to the party here but we've just started watching Stranger Things. It's so good!!

88claire · 07/02/2017 19:42

Pyjamas

So sorry to hear about AF. You made me spit my tea out that pepper pic made me laugh out loud!

Think of this as day 1 of a cycle not the end of one Smile
