BFP in 2012- a thread for winkling-advice and COD-avoidance!

999 replies

wishfulthinking1 · 15/07/2012 14:37

So... here we are!
In a positive move to avoid monthly heartache this is the thread where we'll ttc in 2012.

"will there be winkling?" of course!
"will there be tinkling?" too right! you filthy buggers
"will there be time in the COD?" probably- but it'll only be short lived!
"will there be BFPs?" YES YES YES!

A pledge! do you think I'm taking this too seriously?
I, wishfulthinking, promise to ttc with all my might. I accept that ttc is a long, drawn out process and I shant allow myself to become too obsessed with the process in 2012. (if I remain in-duffed at new year, however, I reserve the right to be right royally pissed off with life and everyone in general!)

Who's with me?

Wishfulthinkng1- ttc numero 1- expecting a sticky BFP on July 31st (and at 28 day intervals thereafter!) Days till wedding - 6!

Xxx

You're so lovely...but no, I'm definitely older!! (With over-the-hill eggs, ha ha!)

The photo doesn't show my grey hair, thankfully...hurrah for hair dye for the wedding :-)

KickTheGuru · 27/07/2012 13:10

No you don't have over the hill eggs!!

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 16:00

Yeah Nicola I thought you were 31 Grin

frustratedpants · 27/07/2012 16:55

kitten I'm 33 in November.

KickTheGuru · 27/07/2012 16:56

What does "COD" mean? Cash on Demand? Counting out Days?

Ok so we all need to fall pregnant by November

Are we all Scorpios?!!!

Kittenkatzen · 27/07/2012 17:09

COD = Cave of Doom/Despair I believe. Cash on Demand would be nice though!

frustrated it's horrible isn't it?! I LOVED turning 30 (felt all growed up!) but every year since then just seems to feel worse and worse! Gah. Oh well....33 is, like, totally the new 25 don't you know....

kick i'm early October, so Libra :)

KickTheGuru · 27/07/2012 17:12

I still feel too young to be 30. I've travelled the world but I still feel like there is so much more growing up I need to do.

I really don't feel old enough to be trying to breed either Grin

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 17:18

Yeah...Scorpios unite!! Or the two of us, anyway!

:-)

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 17:19

Oh, and I'll take 31, kitten!

KickTheGuru · 27/07/2012 17:19

Hurrah! Grin

fatasbutter · 27/07/2012 17:35

Boo I'm 34 in September!! It's not good...

swimmingnotdrowning · 27/07/2012 17:35

NicH - if your eggs were over the hill they would have rolled away - if they're still here, they're still in the game!

Kick I did much searching of MN when I joined this thread and I think COD is cave of despair?

I'm 33 in Fabruary (I meant to type February but after that typo I'm going to start calling it Fabruary) - we're still young, right?

fatasbutter · 27/07/2012 17:35

kitten I'm a libra too Grin

KickTheGuru · 27/07/2012 17:39

Sheesh am I the youngest one here?!!!!

kiwi5 · 27/07/2012 17:47

Another early oct here. 33 this year. Yuck!!!
Have been AWOL for a while. Really took period coming hard this time. Third one since mc in April. Pretty bummed. Plus all I seem to see are bumps. Ho hum. Time for a vodka ginger beer and lime!

swimmingnotdrowning · 27/07/2012 17:51

Hi kiwi - that's rubbish. Sad

I know I don't know you but I do feel for you - the witch shows no mercy but lashings of [vodka] ginger beer are bound to help you out of the COD

frustratedpants · 27/07/2012 17:53

Scorpio here

This year I have started to feel old. forgetting my age regularly and starting to dress like a grown-up.

. Although may have to take time off ttc November and December if i dont have a bfp by then. i do not want another summer baby. SN and summer birthday is a recipe for disaster as far as school goes

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 17:56

Ha ha, swimming, that is true...and I should have more than I'm meant to at this age as I hadn't ovulated for 17.5 years!

And I'm sorry, kiwi :-(

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 17:58

Is it safe to have this many Scorpios in close proximity?!

wishfulthinking1 · 27/07/2012 18:08

Right- well, I'll wade in with my 29 year old, cancer self. I was going to call myself cancerous, but that just sounds really weird and not right!!

Without wanting to be too smug about my spring-chicken-ness, for what it's worth my DH (I bloody love calling him that!!) is 39 next week. Aahhhh- my husband is 40 next year!!! The statement sounds ludicrous!!!!

frustrated -I see your secret Scorpio handshake, and raise you the secret cancer bum wiggle!
Xxxxxxxxxx
