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

[wishfulthinking1]

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

Sorry about the bfn nicola really hope af doesn't arrive and you get some good news.

To be honest, I'd take either to move on right now!! Just don't want my cycles to go mental so I'm having a period on my wedding day in less than 9 weeks.

Sorry about the BFNs nicola and hope she stays stays away for both you and winkle - fx and wishing this is your month x

I had a darker than control line +ve OPK on Sat and then a faded positive on Sunday so counting that as a -ve. Going by the times I took the OPKs, my LH surge lasted less than 24hours and if I hadn't tested twice a day I could have easily missed it.

Rumpy Pumpy is ongoing every day at the moment. DH and I had a chat over the weekend about sex and if we felt okay about it etc. It just helped to talk to him openly about it. We both agreed that we enjoyed infrequent sex more and this was purely 'SMEP' (Sperm meets Egg Plan) sex.

Now I am in the 2ww or atleast I hope it will be just 2 weeks this time - not actually sure when AF is due because last cycle was stupidly long and messed up.

Dexi - I'm of the thinking that the only thing that's gonna get me pregnant is sex sex sex so that's what I'm doing. Am bored of it though lol

you are not alone Winkle - I am bored of sex already and so is DH. I like that he feels the same way as I do and we both share the same thoughts. We can't wait to go back to our good ol' occassional but passionate sex. This 'getting pregnant' sex is getting tiresome. we are planning to dtd tonight and then stop till the weekend...relief down there

my boobs have never been as sore as they have been the passed 4 months. i can't even lean on them or hug dh.

i have also had weird tugging muscle feelings this weekend. did lots of sport tso prolly that.

dh is convinced that the less pregnant i think i am, the more chance there is that i am. i am still not convinced to be honest

although, i have also been crying for the last 2 days. Very strange but i also think we spent time connecting so i feel a bit tired and raw in a good way.

I don't cry though. I am not a cryer

Af due this weekend and did pg test last night. No guesses the result

based on my theory then, i won't be seeing anything this early

Kick it won't show up yet if you are due on the weekend. Fx.

Crying is a good sign though. I am not a cryer and last month I cried for no reason one evening over a charity ad that showed kids in Africa. I don't cry easy and my friends think I was never blessed with tear glands.

But the weird thing is I have been so emotional the last two weeks since the CP. I watched a soppy cheesy rom com and even that set me off. Seeing John Lennons face at the closing ceremony last night and the kids singing Imagine set me off blubbing. Don't know whats happening inside my body.

Ha yeh i bawled through the ceremony last night as well.

Hba1c is 7.8!!!!! Bawled here too!!

Keep welling up.

Morning lovely ladies how are we all?! What have I missed?! Have had a lovely but busy weekend which has meant I've not been anywhere near MN since Friday

Welcome to weechop and lol :)

How are all you ladies in the TBC (Tingly Boobs Club!) doing this morning? Nic and winkle I'm doing a little anti-af dance at my desk for you both. kick I have a dance in reserve for you too ready for this weekend :) Any news on the test results yet winkle?

red I think there must be something in the water at the moment to be honest - I'm not a cryer at all (friends call me the ice queen ) but I've blubbed at nearly every victory ceremony i've seen over the last two weeks, last night I got weepy at John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Gary Barlow, Elbow, the games makers getting their flowers, Seb Coe's speech, Eric Idle, when the torch went out, and because the fireworks were so pretty! I'm glad the olympics has finished - I DH can't take any more of this!

So I'm on CD15 today, normally 29/30 day cycle....dtd on Saturday afternoon and yesterday morning and fully intend to carry on tonight and tomorrow, especially as the right kind of pant snot was in evidence this morning. DH is convinced this is our month - in fact, he's been saying all weekend that he thinks Saturday's shenanigans (on the spare bedroom floor ) has done the trick. Hope he doesn't get his hopes up too much for the 2ww

aw kick

I don't allow myself to sympton spot but boobs are sore and I feel sickly - although that could be due to not having a proper breakfast.

Feeling down again today girls!! Sorry :( Got my tests tomorrow and I'm scared. I'm giving up hope too. TTC should have been a fun and exciting time but it will remind me of being nervous and stressful and full of pressure.

Oh winkle don't get scared! I know it's easier said than done but at least you will understand what's going on and hopefully it will be your body having pill withdrawal symptoms and nothing else!
I'm desperate to join the boob tingling club but so far nothing.
Bought some cheap pg tests and will only poas when they come. I'm terrified cause I am getting hopes up due to this damn spotting.
We do tend to drive ourselves nuts dont we? That may be why we feel so comfortable around here!
nic nothing yet? No news is good news ...

Thx lolcbcb but I came off the pill in Nov 2012 - surely it would have cleared up by now!

winkle I started off thinking TTC would be a fun and exciting time as well. But after a few months you get clouded with doubt, pressure and stress. But I always think at the end of it - I will be able to enjoy pregnancy and later on being a mum. Don't loose hope x

I want to join the TBC too kitten. Although its impossible and never happened before. I am getting tingly nipples (not boobs) already and going by OPK I am only 2dpo.

I don't believe any boobage signs. I had very sore nipples the last two months and boobage sore has gotten worse the last 4 months and

the bawling all the time thing is throwing me. Normally i get angry two days before AF. I am about 5 days of Af so it seems really soon.

Oh well. I don't believe in symptoms

wrinkle - i am getting tests booked for September. I think its exciting. I would rather know so i can fix it

We will get there guys :)

No, nothing yet. Don't feel like it is likely to happen either. But we shall see.

I too have cried at everything Olympics-related. I've done my own head in!

Boobs don't seem as bad today, but still somewhat tingly. Like I've fallen into a nettles patch, ha ha.

red you are right, I must focus on the end result. That I will appreciate being pregnant and being a mum because I have worked harder for it. It's just sometimes the end result is hard to picture!

I have got the olympics blues :( I am sad its finished.

Not because of the fact that it made us proud as a nation for putting on a brilliant two weeks, not because this little amazing island has achieved a third place on the medal chart, but mainly because it took my mind off ttc.

Just for those 2 weeks I didn't obsess so much about it. I just want to go through the two week wait without knowing I am going through it every min every second - which is what has happened today. my nipples are itchy and tingly and probably doesnt mean anything - but in spite of sensible rationale and reasoning I want to believe I will be pregnant this month.

I get that. I don't though. It would be nice but as winkle said - its been so long now that i doubt it will ever happen

but a huge weight has been lifted

i started crying when she told me my Hba1c was 7.8

It means i probably wont need to terminate or have a baby with defects even if we are pregnant. Such a relief.

I did a happy dance for your levels coming down :) and you put in a lot of hard work to get them down.

I know theres this little voice in my head that keeps bursting my bubble too. I dont know if i'll ever experience the 12week scan or see myself with a baby next year. And every month my period arrives I feel a little bit of excitement drain out of me.

kick i feel like i want to say congratulations but i'm not sure if that's entirely appropriate or not?! How about I say :):o:):o:) and you can fill in the blanks with the correct phrase!

red :(:( i haven't got any pearls of wisdom to make you feel magically better i'm afraid, but at least you have the company of others who do know and understand. Chin up - it will happen, and it will be worth every tear and every second of anger and frustration and sadness when it does. Have a ((hug)) from me.

kick 7.8 is an amazing achievement. You must feel great knowing you made the right decision to ttc now and not wait. I am really impressed you got your levels down so quickly.

Liking that you are all getting so emotional

Well done on bringing those levels down kick

I'm in a bad place at the moment girls. Feel like I'm bringing the thread down :(

I went into GAP to buy a friend a bday present and ended up feeling tearful in the baby clothes section :( Then I come out and what do I see? A woman with a bump. Go to John Lewis to buy a bday pressie for my niece and get tearful at the baby toys.

Crying in the sopping mall = not good

I just feel so sad about it all.

My hubby even said yesterday he feels like the dream is fading.

Arrrrgggghhhh...seriously stinging boobs and an abundance of creamy CM.

What the hell is my body doing?!

I've always been an awkward bugger. I am proving it to myself quite nicely now. :-/
