I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

I'm not having that cupcake!!!

Get a first response and use fmu? Wast AF due ages ago?

I only saw a thread today about a lady who didn't get a BFP until she was 20 days late!!!

Ducky23 · 28/04/2014 16:21

Ah lil that's crap Hmm

Hope you have a nice time though Grin and your DH is busy making lots of extra wiggly wigglies Grin

KatoPotato · 28/04/2014 16:30

Ahh Lil, well just go enjoy yourself, have some vino and then some reunited shagging!

Bugaboom · 28/04/2014 16:35

Ah Lil that's rubbish Sad . Go and enjoy a good few drinks this evening. And Grin Grin Grin at DH's lists of do's and don'ts!

Cupcake- I can't believe you're not pregnant. Don't lose hope. Maybe try fmu on Weds? Thanks

kitkatkaty87 · 28/04/2014 17:43

Ah no sorry to hear that lil!
At least u can let ur hair down on ur hols now!

And Ducky I did use a first response test, n I hadnt peed since 8am this morning, so would have been about 7 hours. So very concentrated pee lol!
I'm not going to test any more can't bare these bfns all the time :( just gonna wait till I'm home Friday and call the doctor if AF still not arrived.

Popple85 · 28/04/2014 19:18

Sorry to hear that Lillamy, hope you have a great time and forget all about the stress of TTC for a few days!

Thinking of you Cupcake- like everyone else, I'm still not convinced about the BFNs.

Kato, I'm glad it's not just me with the sweet tooth- your comment made me smile!

And sounds like a relaxing evening KitKat! Love a bit of carbonara :)

Cupcake92 · 28/04/2014 20:53

Got a bit down about the bfn so had a pint and a fag lol
Back on the detox now tho!

KatoPotato · 29/04/2014 01:04

Cupcake I had a fag when I got my AF too ;)

However after disappearing all day, it's back and brown and very dry/sticky?

Cupcake92 · 29/04/2014 06:37

I never knew ttc would be so hard and such an emotional roller coaster lol! Just wish my AF would come so I can get on with it

And Kato it could be old blood and cm?
I'm not sure :s

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 07:53

Eurgh I feel that today is going to be Shite. I have woken up in an awful mood and feeling all anxious about I don't even know what!! Someone cheer me up with a bfp please :) or any news really!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 08:01

Kato is that Deffo AF?

I'm just waiting for this bloody scan date to come through, can't relax until I get it. And I need a cigarette so bad I could actually cry Blush

Kitkat I get that feeling! And I woke up at stupid o clock due to this morning insomnia! Arghhhhh

Cupcake92 · 29/04/2014 09:59

Well ladies looks like AF is just showing her face! Just been to the loo and wiped and had some brown blood slowly getting heavier.
So May club here I come!!!!!! :D gonna get opks this time round. How good on the internet ones?

KatoPotato · 29/04/2014 10:14

It must be AF there was a day of red blood at the right time of the month and a cheapo gave me a BFN yesterday. All clear again this morning

Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 10:30

Sorry cupcake Hmm your body has been cruel, i used the internet cheapies and they seem to work fine, make sure you do them twice a day though incase you hae a short surge. I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Kato, how strange :-/ I think both your bodies are being mean to you!

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 10:38

ive been using one step opks of amazon. havent had a positive yet, but seem to be working ok.
The May club is growing :) lets hope may has lots and lots of bfps!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 10:41

I was just reading some of the old posts on here, we seem to have lost a few people!

My cheapies were just off eBay pack of 40 for a couple of pound.

Fingers crossed for the May clubbers!

looking4rainbow · 29/04/2014 13:07

Sorry to hear that cupcake! Roll on May club.......
I used clearblue a bit pricey but didn't have to work out line colours just waited for smiley face. Good luck

Bugaboom · 29/04/2014 13:46

Ah Cupcake sorry to hear about AF. Your body was being mean this month, I think May will be your time.

Kit kat and Ducky - hope your day isn't turning out as bad as you feared. I am about to go to a very tedious meeting. Sad

Cupcake92 · 29/04/2014 14:09

Eugh AF is deffo full blown now and I'm having awful awful cramps :(

Roll on May club!!!!!

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 14:39

:( bloody af! I'm not looking forward to my first one :S

MAY MAY MAY - here we come!!

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 14:40

good luck with meeting bugaboom, not many hours left now. Not that I'm clockwatching or anything :)

OP posts:
Popple85 · 29/04/2014 18:51

Cupcake, you have my complete sympathy- I get terrible period pains and always have done! Hope they go away very soon Sad

It's going to be an aMAYzing month (see what I did there...?!) Not due til 6th/7th but am going to test on Sunday just because I've never POAS before and don't think I'll be able to hold out another whole week! I'm sure the novelty will wear off though.

Tuesday is the worst day of the week for me. So glad it's over! Roll on the bank holiday already...

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 19:02

Oooo roll on Sunday for you then Popple!
I'm pretty convinced my eyes are playing tricks on me but can anyone see a really faint ghost of a line here?
Not sure why I'm asking as even if people can I will still think it is just me seeing things!
Hubby thinks I've lost the plot looking at the bloody things so closely lol.

Oh Cupcake that's such a crappy result, sorry to hear AF caught up with you. We were all rooting for you. Roll on May club. I'm going to try opks in may too but not sure how's best to use them. When do you test? I tried a few this month but not seen any positives. Any advice from you helpful ladies please?
