TTC #1 - Thread 8

[RaspberrysAndIcecream]

New Year - New Thread!!! And hopefully lots of BFP's all round!!

Fx for everyone!!

Raspberrys cycle 8, BFP due middle of feb
Blockette cycle 5, BFP due Jan 3rd!!! - limbo land :(

Yeah I'll have a bit of your chocolate rasberry, if there's any left! Have decided to concentrate on remaining calm and will step away from the sticks now as they only add to the confusion.

block any af news? Have you contacted the doc/decided to poas again?

Ok, you ladies are the font of all knowledge and I need to drink from the font. I've been doing OPKs since sat which was CD10, now on CD13 and I have got a positive OPK, I wasn't expecting a positive till tomorrow or Thursday

Hey MoC, I don't know lots about opk but if you dtd on CDs 9, 11 and 12, then those swimmers ARE waiting aren't they?! But yeah just keep going now and for the next couple of days I think is the advice. Sounds like you're in with a great chance....

I second that Thunder, MoC I think you're in with a great chance & those swimmers will be there waiting! Will keep fingers & toes crossed for you.
Are you using the conceive plus every time you are dtd?
I am on cd 10 and was planning to use pre seed on my high & peak days but have read that it is good to use it earlier in the cycle too?

Any sign of AF block? I'm still waiting. Day 48 now :( been taking agnus castus for 5 days and feel a but crampy. Something's going on in there! Tempted to poas again just in case but I know its a long shot. Already done 3 since last AF.

hi hoping i hope so, dtd last night, was going to wake the OH for a sneaky one this morning too but im too pooped and he doesnt have to be up for another 3 hours so doubt it would go down well. Yep, everytime since I got it so from about cd7 i think, he doesnt know, i go to the loo before bed and apply some inside then figure by the time we dtd it will have had the 10-15 mins they advise.....fx it works for us. Is pre seed the same sort of thing?

Hey Pink, Nope, still nothing happening here either. Although I did make a doctors appointment. I will be 3 weeks late by then, and I think that is enough time to wait!

I rang the NHS line thingy to ask how long to wait before making a appointment so I didn't sound crazy rushing off to the GP, and she said that most symptoms don't start till about 8 weeks, and although positives are 99.9% right, negatives aren't as reliable. So there is always hope! :) She also said that It says on the test box's to go to the GP after a week if no AF and no +ve - Opps! she made me feel like a school girl! She even went on to explain about the egg meeting a sperm In case I didn't know how it worked!!

• Feeling a bit down at the moment though, With the stress and excitement about moving to the US, then that being put on hold - no AF, but no BFP, I just feel like I cant plan anything - and this stupid Ice/snow means my weekend plans are cancelled - My horse's rehab sessions are put on hold. :( Just feel so lost at the moment.

Oh block and pink, this is rubbish. You poor things having to wait sooo long. Are either of you tempted to poas again?

HAHA I'm starting to have second thoughts about you thunder! Are you sure you don't supply the shops with Pg tests? and come on TTC threads to encourage people to POAS? haha

You have made me smile though - I might be tempted on the weekend

How about you? what stage are you at, at the moment?

Ooo if only- id make a fortune if soneone actually paid me for this poas mischief making! No, I just love it when people get positives! and I'm a bit bored...you got me there

Well post mmc I don't really know where I am but if this cycle is my first back to normal one, I'll be due to poas myself this weekend!

Hum, so I just did another OPK and it's positive again, is it usual to have a positive OPK two days running?

I think this is why they say stop after the first one, Moc, I had it for 3 days!

Oh really thunder I didn't realise you were meant to stop...doh. I thought it was a short surge especially as some people miss their surge at least you've put my mind at rest and I know it's normal. I still have no OV pains so I'm not OVing yet, makes me feel better about not DTD this morning

Hmm yeah I agree with block I think if AF doesn't arrive by the weekend I'll poas again. DH is on nights ATM and he likes to be there when I do it (bless him).

How are you doing block & pink? Hope you're both ok!

Yes MoC, pre seed is same as conceive plus. Am yet to use it but going to try tmrw as tonight is a well earned night off!!
haven't told DH I bought it yet & wasn't planning to tell him I was using it either so I guess I'm trying to find out if it's much different to not using it!!? Maybe tmi!!!

Hey. Newbie here! Been TTC for 4 cycles. Got married in the summer which delayed TTC but full steam ahead now. If I'd have known how difficult it would be, would have started years ago! Hoping that sharing the journey with some fellow tryers might make it a little easier. Feeling pretty fed up about it at the mo

well hoping my OH hasnt noticed so I dont think its any different, im not using a huge amount though, didnt want it like a slick lol

Still waiting for AF hoping
Welcome fairy I got married in the summer too. Fingers crossed we will both be with bump by our first anniversary!

Here's hoping Pink. Have been measuring potential conception against anniversaries like that. Over Christmas just kept thinking "Hopefully have a baby to buy for next Christmas " and then it's "Hopefully will be preggars on my birthday" (Sept 1st) or by my Mum's so I can give her the best B'day pressie of a first Grandchild. Not sure it's wise as makes the disappointment so much harder to bear but here's hoping we'll both have something else to celebrate this year

Hi HopefulFairy

I've been ttc for about the same length of time and got married at the start of October. I'm right here with you for the journey! I really feel your frustration about wishing you'd started trying earlier. Damn those school teachers for scaring us! telling us we'd get pregnant as soon as we had unprotected sex!

I'm battling with crazy mood swings; swaying between not being too bothered, trying to enjoy married life, doing selfish things we couldn't do with a baby etc (Off snowboarding in two weeks!) but then I sobbed after I saw my preg friend the other day.

I'm off to the doctors next week to investigate why my AF still hasn't appeared. I'm pretty sure it's PCOS.

Blockette - good luck at the docs. I hope they have good news for you.
Thunder - you're cracking me up encouraging everyone to POAS!

MoC - I'm a bit jealous of all the dtd you're getting!

Hi Cat, nice to speak to people in the same boat. I almost wish I had your mood swings to give me a break from myself! I can think of nothing else+find myself completely consumed by thoughts of either being pregnant or having a baby. It literally is exhausting! Hoping this year will bring me that elusive BFP! FXed for everyone x

haha cat well last night my OH really wasn't that interested, we DTD anyway but unusually it was hard to get him ready IFYWIM that's the first time that has happened. So far I'm on CD15 and we have DTD 8 times, going to keep going till Friday then let him have Saturday off and have one final go on Sunday Sexy sunday as the OH likes to call it then go back to DTD when we actually want to, not because we have to.

It doesn't help that he was really annoying me last night so neither of us were feeling that attracted to each other I don't think.

SHIT! Still no AF so I poas and BFP! Totally in shock as I already did 3 last week and bfn. But did 2 tonight and BFP!

YAYAYAYAYAY!! pinkapple!! Congrats x x
