Thx ad that's a good way to look at it!

Right, scan booked for next Tuesday. Have officially stepped off the TTC rollercoaster and on to the IVF one.

RedRobin1 · 29/05/2013 15:30

Good-luck winkle keep believing it will happen for you. Not long till you see those two lines. It IS your time.

Keeping everything crossed for all of you to join the other thread soon.

res you have been through so much....AF arriving every month was heartbreakingly depressing but I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. Take some time off work and be kind to yourself x

SomeDaySoon74 · 29/05/2013 18:52

Sending you lots of love resipsa.

Thingymajigs · 29/05/2013 19:37

Thinking of you res. Take care of yourself. x Thanks
I'm totally with red on this one. I definitely think your BFP is just around the corner winkle.
I'm cramping really badly already and AF is supposed to be a couple of days away. Not sure why its so bad this cycle but I'm sure a hot bath will sort it out.
I'm glad I've stopped putting my life on hold. Pretty sure TTC will take us years if it happens at all so I need to get on with things. DP is in a bit more of a hurry though and has planned out SMEP for at least another 3 months. I might need that preseed afterall. Confused

Thingymajigs · 29/05/2013 19:39

Good luck with the 2ww ads and have fun in shag week kerry. Grin
Smile

KerryJewels · 29/05/2013 20:09

Why thank you majigs....I decided we would let his little soldiers rest in between days Dtd every other day.Husband is having a hard time with that already...he is a go at will kinda guy.Im thinking maybe less will be more:) We both took our first dose of Mucinex and grapefruit juice last night.He is still doing well with his electronic cigerette and not drinking much at all.Im hoping it happens this month..really don't want to travel and hour to see RE again:( Loving hopes and prayers to all my ttc pals!!!

Every other day is plenty. I sometimes wonder if dtd every day does more harm than good but we've tried every combination possible except dtd every single day of your cycle. No one can possibly enjoy dtd that much.
Woke up again with a heavy dragging feeling and expected to see AF but nothing yet. Tbh AF isn't really expected until tomorrow onwards. anyway so I have no idea why I'm cramping. My body is obviously having an off week.

twinklestar2 · 30/05/2013 08:01

Thingy - fx the cramping is a good sign and not AF! Maybe I'll hold off sending you those OV sticks - you might not need them!

Well done to your OH for getting off the fags, Kerry!

Thingymajigs · 30/05/2013 10:29

Yes, that's probably a good idea.. Although I'm now trying to be realistic because I don't want to raise my hopes too much. DP is already reading too much into it even though AF is still two days away.

KerryJewels · 31/05/2013 02:02

Started taking Mucinex ..now have a horrible head cold with sinus headache and all.Any connection?Or terrible coincidence??Not fun during shag week..(I'm picking up your lingo:)

OP posts:
Thingymajigs · 31/05/2013 08:25

Just a coincidence. I don't think cough syrups are supposed to give you colds. Grin That would be a genius money maker though.
I'm driving myself crazy this 2ww. I'm going to crash so badly when AF appears tomorrow. I wish I was at work to take my mind off it all but I've got nothing to do. I can't wait until this waiting game is no longer a feature in my life.

Adsum · 31/05/2013 08:37

Yes I know what you mean - I had spotting and was 4 days late last cycle and the first (!) test I did and got a bfn with was such a letdown Sad - it's emotionally draining doing this but will keep my fx for you thingy!

Thingymajigs · 31/05/2013 08:47

It is exhausting sometimes. The worst 2ww are the ones like yours last cycle with just enough symptoms to get your hopes up. I'm having the same this week and its difficult because I can't be sure on the ovulation date. Last cycle AF was early so I got off lightly. We'll all get there in the end though.
Right, its time to distract myself and mentally prepare for AF.

Thingymajigs · 31/05/2013 10:53

I think I've got two lines.
Just got back from hauling a load of shopping back from Tesco including a jumbo box of Tampons and decided to test.
Two lines. I don't trust it though its the cheapies. I need to get a clearblue digital.

DisneyDiva87 · 31/05/2013 11:03

Sounds like those tampons need to go to the back of the cupboard!

Thingymajigs · 31/05/2013 11:29

Yes, I think so! Clear Blue digital says Pregnant 2-3 weeks! I can't believe it. I never thought I'd see that. That explains the early cramping and dragging feeling then.
I've got to figure out how to tell dp when he gets home at 5. He's going to be so excited.

DisneyDiva87 · 31/05/2013 11:45

Yay!

Congrats Flowers I'm so excited for you. Bounce around him yelling I'M PREGNANT! Over and over till he gets the message and joins in with you.

twinklestar2 · 31/05/2013 13:57

I had a feeling you were! Congrats!

Anyone else want some free OV sticks now that thingy doesn't need them?!

KerryJewels · 31/05/2013 14:48

Congratulations Thingy!!!!What an unexpected,beautiful surprise:)You must be elated!!!!So very happy for you:)

Wow thingy that's great!! Congratulations! About time we had more happy news on the Fred!! Thanks

Thingymajigs · 31/05/2013 16:21

Thank you everyone.
I can't wait until we are all on the graduates thread together. Smile
Good job you didn't send those winkle. I bought a packet of digital opk's a couple of weeks ago which are unopened so if everything is ok with this little one then I will post them out to whoever wants them in a few weeks.
You have all been so lovely and supportive during this process so, thank you. x
Oh.. I'm getting emotional already. Blush

KerryJewels · 31/05/2013 17:45

The BFP have been steadily coming...KEEP EM COMING!!!!!I hope my turn is up and coming...but I'm sure a lot of you have been waiting longer than me for your first..so I give you my turn...:)As long as I'm pregnant before Febuary 2014 I'm ok....ASAP would be preferred though...I'll be happy when this feed has no one left on it and it just expires because we are all on the grad thread:)
