The First Time Frolickers leave The Three Follicles to go home and "Do their homework!" The one where all our minutes come at once.

[ToriaPumpkinHead]

Ok ladies, here's the new thread, let's hope it's a lucky one!

I'm here raspberry, just busy getting into arguments in AIBU

I'm here! Been watching Dr Who myself (and thinking that Matt Smith is strangely attractive ).

I've been trying to stay off t'internet as much as possible over the next few days - I'll only succumb to temptation and start googling for all sorts of weird and terrible things my ultrasound might show up!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I've just popped in before bed time to catch up am amazed not to have more to read. Nothing interesting going on my end, am now 7DPO but no symptoms so thinking it's another 'no thanks l

erm, bloody phone posting! I was half way through typing a sentence! Anyway I know it's still a bit early and any budding bayble may not have even implanted yet but I can't imagine it happening. I'm convinced that I'll 'feel different' when I do get a bun in the oven and I'll 'just know'

Right, enough moping I think I might drag the old man off the X Box and off to bed for some SW/OI!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a bit but thought I'd take the plunge & say hello. Now let's see if I can get all the jargon right:

TTC #1 - I've come late to this game, I'm 37...
Cycle No. 1; UCL 26-ish; CD13 (I've been using the P Tracker app over the last year to pin things down a bit)

I've been using the First Response daily ovulation tests from CD5 and was wondering how long the LH surge is supposed to last for? This morning will be the third day I've had the 2 strong lines. Do I calculate when I ovulate after the first time I see the 2 strong lines?

Apologies if this is pretty basic stuff. DH is wondering when my demands are going to ease off, although I'm not expecting to hit the jackpot this time around (despite his assurances that he produces SuperSperm ). I suppose I'm in the 2ww club now?

Welcome to the madhouse LateToTheTTCParty I'll add you to the list in a minute. Can't answer your questions about ov kits etc as I'm trying to keep my menkulling to a minimum and not use them!

Truff I'm enjoying "Bayble" Might have to add that one to the Droiks vernacular!

I've lost track entirely of what's going on, the date, day number or how long since ovulation so planning to continue in this manner until the end of next week when I expect ERTD to turn up during a weekend long scouts event

Had a bit of a rubbish week, my colleague that lost her baby was taken into hospital with complications and her mother is now trying to blame us at work for what happened. I've spoken to my colleague directly who is saying no such thing, but what can you do? As a result I indulged in one or two drinks last night at my cub leader meeting but not enough to do or say anything stupid which is a nice change!

I think I've got that right, I may have added up wrong as the last list was done on Sunday... If anyone spots any mistakes then feel free to change it/shout at me! I also moved Gobolino as I went back and checked and she said she was taking a break from us, if you come back and want back in then let us know

No SWI last night either, DP didn't have it in him apparantly therefore I don't have 'it' in me and this month's wasted, great

Was so effing determined this time.

Well, the "symptoms" keep on coming - the last few mornings I've had rather charming gagging fits - this morning with such intensity that (tmi) a bit of wee came out! - this does not bode well for the future of my pelvic floors. And this morning I feel downright ropey - pre-ERTD cramps, but really intense, and some queasiness.

But the most convincing symptom of all?I have two pet rabbits and one of them is normally as grumpy as hell - but this morning she actually showed some affection and interest in me. Quite obviously she can sense the maternal hormones I'm giving off?a certain sign of pregnancy surely?.??!! :)

By my calculations, implantation would be happening (if it was going to happen) today or tomorrow. So I should be able to test at the weekend I would have thought.

Toria - sorry to be thick - but what does the "MI SWI A" list mean? Also, this is my first cycle, for the benefit of the list! I hope you're not upset about your colleague's mother's comments - hopefully it's just her emotions talking rather than her, IYSWIM.

Hello LatetotheTTCparty - welcome to the TWW club...you're going to hate it! (the TWW that is, not its members!)

Imps MI SWI A was one of MissFlick's abbreviations, there were a lot of girls in the list who have disappeared, or who lurk now, so she took them off the main list and created Missing In SWI Action for them I'll see if anyone else wants updating and put your cycle number in either today or tomorrow

Your symptoms all sound very positive! Def think the bunny knows I'm having a boob month this month, lots of lovely blue veins, sore nipples and some other odd occurences revolving around colours and skin. I apparently have eight days left to menkul about it all so looking forward to that

Fingerscrossed Any chance there could be some hanging around up there from previous shag cape excursions? That's my hope for this month after my nice little rant last week.

Thanks for the explanation Toria...you've reminded me of another one I don't know the meaning of - "menkul"?? (You're going to tell me that's a real word now, aren't you...?!)

Hehehe, not a real word, and I assume I'm using it correctly actually, gonna be highly embarassed if I'm not... As I understand it it's mental, menkulling = mentalling. Not a great use of the English language but makes me smile :)

We also have Droiks, which came from a typo for frollies/frolickers (I know this was recent but forget who said it?) and is slightly less fluffy so it stuck.

I've just outsmarted my postman (whose favourite trick is sticking a card through the door wihtout knocking) and taken delivery of quilting materials so am off to make a baby blanket for the pregnant lady in my life. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the welcome ladies

If I guesstimate that I ovulated 24hrs after the fisrt stick indicated my LH surge, then I suppose I'm 2 days po which still gives me opportunity! (Poor DH )

The 2ww does sound like it has the potential to be horrendous - a substantial amout of time to spend calander-watching. As this is just my first cycle I hope I'll just sail through this one and my obsessiveness can kick in later!

Thanks for the hug Toria

Just feel annoyed but I don't want to start feeling like this every month and it become an issue.

There could have been some hanging around from Sunday night but we'd be extremely lucky if that worked, think I must've ov'd tues or yesterday.

Good luck with the blanket. Where did you learn to do that?

Hello all!

Welcome to LateToTheTTCParty hope you have a nice short stay

Thought I should report in from my scan:

The good news is that there was no sign of PCOS. The sonographer said that my ovaries were a normal size and there were no cysts. Hurrah!

I've now got to wait for my blood test results to come back so have another appointment booked for 21st January to discuss those with my GP.

I drank FAR too much water (they DID say 1-2 pints) so I was told to empty half my bladder - not an easy feat when you are bursting to let it all out!

The sonographer was lovely and explained everything as she went along, though didn't show me any of the pictures. When I left she said "Hope to see you soon for a different kind of scan!" Bless.

So huge sighs of relief here, I'm such a drama queen at times

Cave fab that everything's ok. The sonographer sounds lovely

Not a lot going on here. Went to a training event this morning and actually enjoyed it , then visited an old friend who now works in training dept and had a good chat with her. I was star pupil and allowed to leave the training early, but then ended up leaving the building after everyone else as I was chatting for so long with DH sitting waiting outside for me oops!

Glad to hear everything's well Cave

Fingerscrossed I'm teaching myself, I've done patchwork before, and the principle of quilting is fairly simple. I've done all the long seams so far so just the fiddly bits to go, but it's the right size and shape and isn't falling to bits so I've done something right

cave that's good news!

hugs to fingerscrossed

Hi everyone!!!!!

just cottoned on to the fact that you need info from me:

ucl 29
cd13
ttc 1
cycle 2

had a +ve on the opk yesterday so have been SWIing like crazy :)

xxxx

Hi all I'm back from my lurking (although I haven't been on here for a while). Doctors went ok, she's arranged for a variety of blood tests etc. However...

not been feeling myself lately and half heartedly took a test to rule it out (I've had a virus recently that's made me feel like poo and...BFP!!!!!!

I couldn't believe, I dod not see that one coming at all. I'm very stunned at the moment and now I keep thinking about all the things that could go wrong. Not healthy. I also managed to polish of a significant amount of wine at the weekend and on Wed night as dh and I have been having a pants week, so I am racked with guilt too.

Bit worried that I've jinxed myself now as it's still very early.

Anyway that's enough of that, hello all new people and welcome and hello all regulars. Glad to hear there has been some good news on here and sorry to hear of the bad.

wow congratulations Roundtable!!!! Just goes to show - when you least expect it and all that! Hope everything goes well for you and don't worry about all the naughty things, people go for a lot longer before they realise they are pregnant than you have and there has been a perfectly healthy baybee at the end of it. Just enjoy your BFP xx

Congrats roundtable!

Congrats roundtable!!!

Congrats roundtable!!!! I think this thread is going to have a sudden rush of BFPs!

Congratulations Roundtable!

Thank you guys. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Have a set of books to mark but I feel my bed calling me.

Night all
