We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

[GuffSmuggler]

A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

Hi all

omama - so sorry to hear your news, it's so shitty but you'll find some comfort here I'm sure, we've all been through the lows and the even lowers, but somehow manage to keep each other from going cometely crazy.

Take your time, that's all I can say. Hard, I know, but I still randomly cry about my mc and that was early March.

So af is due Sunday - I've had cramping the last few days so have written this month off. The good news is I won't feel guilty about drinking on holiday, and I've decided to give myself a month off, I'm not taking any sort of sticks on holiday with me and hopefully I will come back more refreshed. Ill be ov whilst were away so you never know.

emki - keeping fingers crossed for you

It seems quite a few of us have AF imminent. emki, hope you're okay. floweroct, I hope you're wrong about your AF. I'm DPO12 or DPO13 and I've had a few crampy feelings too. But my LP can be up to 17 days, so I wouldn't be 'late' until Tuesday or Wednesday. And the days are drraaaaaaaagging...

Right! I'm on day 17. Can I starts fly symptom spotting yet? I have 3 spots, keep peeing and am absolutely dog tired! Must be PG surely!?
Welcome newbies. It's shot that you are here, but these are really a lovely bunch of ladies. No better place for support and ham holding.

saggy. As an avid symptom spotter maker up I say spot away.

After me saying I was finding the clearblue dual ovulation test was working for me. The same thing happened as last month. Got a peak on cd 11. No flashing ones before. Last month I went on to have flashing smiles and peak at cd 16. Had pain and ewcm last night - a bit confused. Common factor is I have had acunpuncture on cd10 both cycles. Wondering if it's linked. We are following SMEP so not sure whether to start 3 in a row as if it's a flase alarm I don't think we could manage it again this cycle. What do you think guys.
Anyone poas today??
emki. Big hugs today.

Hee hee, saggy, ham holding?

But yes, welcome to all newbies - have been lurking a bit over the last week and sorry to see you're here but as saggy says this is a lovely thread to be on.

I think at day 17 you can def start symptom spotting! I'm 8dpo and symptom spotting like crazy - getting quite breathless when going up stairs like I did for last pregnancy, waking up super hungry in the mornings, forgetting the occasional word. All of this of course could just be because I've been doing lots of exercise and not getting enough sleep!!

guff congrats on your BFP!! How are you and the other newly pg ladies doing?

Any legal poas-ers this morning?

Hmm missp I'm not sure - have you talked to your acupuncturist about it?

Alright ladies, it's fertile friday. Hands in the air, who POAS today?

And emki and flower big hugs, sorry to hear you've been having a shitty week - hope you have a treat or two lines up for the weekend!

birds. Said to her last night. She wants me to call her if it happens again so will do today. Said its quite possible.
Probably best I just keep going every other day. Don't want to frighten DP.

missp confusing I agree.
I think if you stuck with every 2nd day you'd still get enough swimmers up there in case it really is your ovulation, and still have enough energy for later in the cycle.

saggy i'm on CD10 and also dog tired. maybe i'm pg too, haha.

aly I displayed extraordinary willpower this morning and didn't poas because it's just too early...I feel quite proud f myself.

well done birds! now you just need to hold out until next friday...
when is AF due?

Thinking of you today emki. And you too flower, hope you manage something nice for yourself on your birthday, even though you probably don't feel like it.

greenlizard and omama sorry you're here but hope the company helps.

Symptom spotting all sounding hopeful! Any POAS news? Everyone being strong and holding off? My fingers are crossed for you all.

I'm considering the ethics of avoiding TTC talk with DH and just taking advantage of the fact that its weeks since we last DTD so he's prob a bit desperate. Waiting for bfn anyway. He'll have to be very desperate to see past my holiday pot-belly full of cherry lager, cheese and chocolate.

Thanks for all the fish slaps, I'm quite happy to stink of fish. Let's face it fertile Friday has NOT been delivering so I needed to help the thread along

Kat I am in AWE of your DH managing it with a dislocated knee, poor poor man. You'll have to give him some serious TLC after.

I've got a feeling there's a run of BFPs as it's been a bit quite lately on that front. Everything crossed for all you.

Friday 5 July, so I'll be POASing next Friday unless AF makes an appearance before then!

missp I think that sounds like a good plan - every other day should definitely be enough given the time sperm live for. Interesting that acupuncture might be affecting you like that! - although v confusing.

I've poas today. Bfn at 14dpo. Stomp stomp stomp. TFIF.

Welcome to newbies but sorry for all the sadness you've been through to find yourself here.

Xx

Oh POO, Cam!

Oh bugger cam I'm sorry. ? Maybe too early. Gin?

Oh thats rubbish Cam sorry.

boooooo! cam

kat your DH deserves a medal.

Bfn here too! AF arrived too - why do I neverbjustvwsitvdo I could save some money!!!
Pretty gutted but there's always next month!!! Xxx hope all ok - might just lurk for a bit as really fed up and need to take my mind off ttc for a bit xxx hope you all have good weekends xxx

Thanks folks. Sorry you're with me Emki, stupid BFNs.

Am quite gutted because have had aching breasts and fatigue for the last week which I'd deluded self into thinking might mean I was in with a chance despite the fact that I've also had aching elbows, a symptom even I couldn't manage to attribute to a possible pregnancy! Will buy some tampons and get ready to welcome AF.

Just had a quick scan of the thread, massive congrats guff. Fab news.

Anyone else testing today?

Sorry can and emki. Bah!

I am resisting POAS as there are none in the house AF isn't really due until possibly Tuesday. Dammit, I wish my LP wasn't so damn variable. My temps are still just normal post-ovulation levels, no significant 'pregnancy' rise like last time, so I think the old witch will be here sooner or later. Hate this waiting though.

Bit of a wasted test for me today, though I've become addicted to peeing on sticks so took the Friday challenge anyway - BFN.
AF due over the weekend - just wish it would hurry up and get lost again.

Good luck to anyone else trying today though. FX
