The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

It's just as my line was so faint on the line stick and the clear blue came up as pregnant so just wondered if they're easier to read? Glad there's a faint line coming!

I'm going mental like barking! So confused, 12dpo should give me a visible line, yet i've been having faint lines for 5 days in a row but starting to doubt that if i am/was pregnant that my levels are doubling like they should. My temps are still up but suspect AF will arrive in force tomorrow. Am going to take the digi (should it arrive, not sure I trust DH's shopping ability) as gospel and stop trying to figure it one way or another. But for now it looks like the grads are safe from me and you guys have to put up with me for years a bit longer! Sorry. TTC is crapola, a total head fuck. Surely it should be easier than this... in all the millions of years of evolution and this is all we can come up with?? FFS. Rant over, off for a bath

Oh merks that's pants, still keeping FX till AF rears her ugly head!

Thanks bunny

Oh Merkin this is all so rubbish.
As you say 12 DPO should give a line. Interesting what Alex had to say about the digi.

DH didn't read the text until he got home so no digi. He offered to go and get one now but I said it didn't really matter, his response was OK. Didn't ask how I was or anything. Men are arseholes sometimes

I take it back, he just came in offering to go to the supermarket so we would know either way. Being as I'm pretty convinced its a waste of a tenner I said no, but bless him anyway.
Right, no more talk about my stupid predicament. Who's in the 2ww??

Me, AF due next Monday!

Remind me, was this the cycle where you and mr bunny were at it like rabbits?

Well not exactly at it like rabbits but we did manage day 13 and 15 which is the best we've managed in months, so I guess there is a teeny weeny chance but it was more about getting DHs mojo back than anything but I don't know when I O'd so we might have missed it!

Aloha!

Merk, sorry things are still unclear - I hope PIMPing comes good for you tomorrow. Did you have a nice first day? (Apart from the piddly cat - urgh!)

CD 6 over here. Thumb twiddling whilst AF finishes off and then back to pointless DTD. If the referral letter doesn't come through soon I'm going to flip my lid!

This TTC is an emotional roller coaster; sorry to hear you're dealing with so much angst and naughty cats what a day Merkin, new job and all.

I've been for acu again tonight, lovely practitioner says I'm definitely getting stronger which is great; just the one pulse that's not sustaining between treatments now which happens to be the one that controls cycles and fertility, law of sod!

Also called the docs today re my blood tests last week and although they wouldn't give me the results, the doctor wants to see me as they're out of the ordinary so have an apt on Friday. It's thrown me in a complete tizz which is ridiculous... I know I have a hormone imbalance... this is only confirmation of the facts that are presenting themselves. Slap me out of it please someone!

Boodle fingers crossed for your letter.

Being as I know the majority of you are cat owners, you will be pleased to know that vodka does actually seem to work against the horrors of cat pee smell.
cherry don't worry... stupid doc for worrying you in the first place lets hope it's something they've confirmed and can fix so you can become a grad next cycle!
boodle pot i'm starting to think the AF to shag week wait is worse than the 2ww. It's so boring and shit and you can't even piss on a stick not that i will be doing that again soon
First day was fine, despite wanting a nap at 2pm and missing the berries!
FX bunny

Go digi tomorrow merk. Or buy from amazon as a subscribe and save as they're a lot cheaper so you've got one in stock for next time you want a clear answer. You can immediately cancel the subscription without losing the discount.

pot have you seriously resisted calling the clinic!? I'm getting to the point where I want to call them myself on your behalf!!
I told one of my close friends (who has been ttc a little longer than me) that I had my appointment in April. Turns out her appointment (at a different clinic, she lives miles away) is the day after mine!!

Well, actuaaaallllly, it's the only time I do pee on a stick/PIMP! OPKs rather than HCGs, obviously, but I never get to PIMP after Ov as AF always turns up first!

Geez, how many acronyms?! It's a good job I'm a teacher and used to all that crap anyway!

£4.21 a stick.

Barking, yeah, still holding fire. When the secretary at the doctors' rang on my behalf, they told her it would be sometime mid-April, so I'm not going to panic until end of March approaches. I'd like to ring and just find out but I am one of those people who hates to pester in case they get a bad first impression! Stupid, I know!

I never get to PIMP after Ov as AF always turns up first!

Pfft! I never let a thing like that stop me! I was PIMPing at 5dpo to get there before AF did! Sshhh, don't bother me with any of that sensible thinking shit
My LP was a whopping 9 days long this time though!! I could have held off until 8 dpo and still legitimately PIMPed! and still not been far enough along to sensibly expect a bfp but logic should never be a barrier

cherry are you asking to be slapped with a bratwurst?!?!?!?

Damn, how did I manage to miss

Damn, how did I manage to miss cherry's request to be slapped?!

A request to come in is good. It means they're taking you seriously and looking to get things sorted. All good.

Evening. Have missed you all. I don't really have anything to say, apart from hello. Really enjoy reading through. Baby Jesus and vodka vs cat pee have been particular highlights. Not to mention the flouncer, sorry, newbie.

Seems we were one of the few threads that escaped the overnight trolls! Temp still up this morn, wtf was fully expecting AF to arrive

Overnight trolls?!?!?

Still keeping everything crossed for you merks good job it's not DTD week lol

Great news Merkin everything crossed for you still.

Thanks for the rude awakening guys feeling a lot better today. Never mind graduating, would just like to join you guys in the giant TTC mosh pit. Feel like I'm in pre-school yet, lol. Let's see what they have to say on Fri. Seeing a new doctor who notes family planning and women's health as an interest on the website so I'm holding out hoping that she talks some sense and can help kick start this baby!

Have a good day all :)
