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

We got married last April and we were going on hols in August so we put off TTC so we could have a good holiday :(

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 14:44

HA we did something similar :(

RIBS · 10/08/2012 15:30

We were living in my flat and decided to wait until we managed to get a house with a garden before TTC. The date we exchanged I came off the pill. May as well have not have gone back on the pill after having DD. Sad At this rate DD will be old enough to have her own kids by the time i have a baby and i'l be in "The Sun" for oldest hag ever to have baby. Blush

I think im actually starting to get my head round the fact that maybe it isnt going to happen for me. Not that il stop trying, mind you. I dont want to go through the IVF route, but I wonder if i've just left it too late. Maybe this is natures may of telling me your too old and nackered for this malarky! Im just going to keep at it and enjoy DD.

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 16:17

RIBS But you have a child, don't you? How old is she?
I think once you've done it, you know that everything works between the two of you. Perhaps it's more a matter of time??

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 17:18

Found the body of the girl gone missing in South London :(

In the grandparents home

woody17 · 10/08/2012 17:49

It's so horrible kick

I just don't understand this world sometimes.

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 17:56

Devastating. I don't understand what people can do to children. She was 12 years old FFS.

Christ. I hope she didn't suffer :(

RIBS · 10/08/2012 18:16

No!! It was obvious that they had something to do with it. I don't understand how anyone could hurt a child, let alone one they're supposed to love. Bastards was stringing up. I know my dd, she's 4 next month btw @kick, pushes my buttons and I have 2 walk away before I flip out, but how could u. The poor little thing must'v been terrified.

RIBS · 10/08/2012 18:20

...want stringing up not was!

Kittenkatzen · 10/08/2012 18:24

Ohhhh I just saw that and my heart just sank, so so sad, that poor girl Sad

I wonder if the grandmother knew or not. Can you imagine your own mother doing that Sad

RIBS · 10/08/2012 19:41

Nope. Not in a million years. Granny had apparently been at work when it had happened. But shes been found in the house surely she must have known.

I was just reading an article in the paper where he's been interviewed, claiming his innocence and pleading for her 2 come home.

It's just awful.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 10/08/2012 20:08

I didn't know they found her. That poor girl, it just makes your heart ache.

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 21:02

I think the worst is that her mother (Tia's mother) had dumped Tia at the grandparents and legged it. Not sure how long ago but get the idea that it's been a while. Tia's grandmother had no idea where the mother was.

It's awful. My throat caught and I just started crying. I don't understand how people can do that to children. I really don't. It takes a special kind of evil to hurt a child. I hope she didn't suffer

RIBS · 10/08/2012 21:31

Really? So her mother didn't give a shit about her and then she's killed by her grandmother and/or her step-grandfather. It's beyond tragic. Poor poor little girl. They should all rot for it.

winkle2 · 10/08/2012 21:48

That's such sad news about Tia :(

Hubby has fallen asleep in the sofa! So no dtd tonight. Last time we dtd was Tues - am I leaving too long a gap?

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 22:06

Mine is all randy and I've lost the gap completely. I don't think we're on it this month but oh well. Every month we "miss" it is another month my hba1c comes down...

winkle
I don't think you're leaving too much of a gap - spermie lasts what, three day? Tomorrow morning should be fine.

We only DTD for like...4 days or something stupid during fertile time so I definitely am out... :(

KickTheGuru · 10/08/2012 22:07

RIBS

I am of the opinion that the gran did care. She let the cops in without any issues to search the house and she appears to have helped the investigation.

I hope that the grandmother at least loved her. I hope that she had some love from somewhere.

redstrawberry · 10/08/2012 22:25

I am still hoping that body is not Tia's. I just refuse to believe its her. I really hope it's not. It really takes something evil and sinister to kill children. Innocent little children :(

Thinking of you winkle :( sorry its been a year. Hope that J2O tasted funny for the right reasons...so want it to happen for you X

And London is sure buzzing. I know I live up norf, but I can never get enough of the city. It's one of my fav cities in the whole world. Love Love Love London. There is so much Olympic fever and its full of people from so many countries, so many different cultures...I am glad I went down.

redstrawberry · 10/08/2012 22:28

Kick - remember all it takes is ONE sperm to meet ONE egg. You never know - you may have timed it right (really hope so) and caught it. Its not over till AF arrives :)

DulcetMoans · 10/08/2012 23:04

Well wait a minute, we don't know what happened yet. Whether it was murder and if so by who. We shouldn't convict them both until we know. People's lives get ruined that way, look at poor Joanna Yates landlord who did nothing at all.

Looking forward to going to London now actually but not going until Paralympics in sept. surprised how much I've enjoyed it all really!

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 11:58

How is it fair that the woman with 15 kids next door is telling one of the kids 'she'll punch his fucking head in in a minute' and I'm sitting here childless and desperate?

:(

redstrawberry · 11/08/2012 12:06

Positive OPK Grin doing a happy dance! Never thought I'd see one!

redstrawberry · 11/08/2012 12:07

15 kids!!! Sad life is a bitch sometimes winkle. Your time will come x

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 12:14

I may have been exaggerating slightly when I said 15 Grin

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 12:18

hi ladies.
