Yaaaaaaay Brummie & Chaircat!! Huge congrats!! WineThanks.

So time for a badgering from the crowds about your stats!! And did you have any SYMPTOMS..???

Hi to the newbies and Fx for everyone still on for May!! Smile. Am on CD9 and just about to start my SMEP DTD marathon tonight... Wish me (and DH..!!) luck!

gennibugs · 14/05/2014 10:31

Morning all

In the 2ww here now.
But not holding out any hope as DH had performance issues the past few days so we've missed ov again.

Next month is our last month before we seek proper help and not just our dumb GPs (who know less than I do sadly). I was in bits yesterday but feeling very detached from it all today and have now accepted our fate. Im even considering just giving it up as 18 months total trying later Im not sure I can take much more.

ChandlersFarang · 14/05/2014 10:50

Aah genni don't despair!! At least once you've had your appointment with the GP you will have more solid facts before you, so you can make a more informed decision about where to go next. Good luck and chin up!! Wishing you lots of luck Smile

Waffleyversatile · 14/05/2014 11:00

Well... 6 days late and despite mid cycle spotting and cramping for last 2 weeks AF has arrived. Weirdly glad that it has arrived as hopefully we can now just concentrate on trying again. Just wish i knew the reason for all the cramping and the spotting- guess i had just been hopeful that these were signs of pregnancy. On to the June bus now and Bike 2... beep beep.

hanflan · 14/05/2014 11:06

Sorry the bitch got you waffley. I'm still waiting for her to show up. One day late so far. Just want her to hurry up and put me out of my misery so that I can start feeling positive for the next cycle!

ChandlersFarang · 14/05/2014 11:07

Sorry to hear that Waffley! But as you say, with AF comes certainty and another shot at a fresh new cycle...

By the way I've just started a new thread for anyone TTC using a ClearBlue monitor - didn't want to bore everyone on here with lots of chat about it! Will be hanging around on both tho obvs Grin. Link here:

Waffleyversatile · 14/05/2014 11:23

thanks guys

Chandler i posted a reply to that thread but think it hasn't posted. grrrr

spinningirl10 · 14/05/2014 11:43

Good luck chandlerWink

Sorry af arrive waffleyThanks

Genni, my dp suffers from performance issues as well so I can sympathise. It's so frustrating! We've actually been ok this cycle but I get anxious at ov time wondering if we will get there. Good luck for your appointment and hoping you get a bfp soonThanks

theduchesse · 14/05/2014 11:48

Congrats chaircat and brummie! Great news. I love seeing people get their bfp's.

Step away - if you hover your mouse on the persons name on Facebook you will get a box come up about them - click on the friends option, then the report/block option and check the box to 'unfollow' them. They will not get a notification about this, you remain friends with them but won't see their posts in your newsfeed. I had to do this with a work colleague because even though I wasn't ttc at the time so wasn't jealous in any way I found her constant pregnancy updates soooo boring and tedious.

theduchesse · 14/05/2014 11:49

Sorry about af waffley. That sucks, especially when you get your hopes up with it being late.

Stepawayfromthezebras · 14/05/2014 12:01

Thanks for Genni and Waffley.

I feel like I get more cramping when AF's due since I've been TTC but not sure whether it's just that I'm hyper aware of what my body's doing now and notice twinges and cramps that I've previously just ignored. Also I was on the pill before TTC and you don't get real periods with that.

Thank you for the unfollow hint duchesse - off to get that sorted before tedious friend has her bambino, I can't imagine how many photos she's going to be putting up when that happens!

ChandlersFarang · 14/05/2014 12:12

Tee hee thanks spinning... DH got home from work approx 5 mins after I wrote that and got a very thorough attacking!!! Aaahahahahaaa. Gone off to the gym with a smile. Love the early cycle DTDing!! Now... Must. Maintain. Joyful. Shags... Shock

toots123 · 14/05/2014 12:37

Af due day is here!! Not sure I'll be able to stop myself from testing as a collague just started eating his lunch and I had to stop myself from gagging at my desk

symptom?!?!?!?!

hanflan · 14/05/2014 12:44

Off to the June bus I go, AF has officially arrived Sad. I won't lie, I'm pretty gutted. Spoke to a friend the other day who told me she was pregnant "really quickly, and we weren't even really trying".

hanflan · 14/05/2014 12:44

Oh and toots POAS!!!! Someone needs to get a bfp now to cheer me up haha

toots123 · 14/05/2014 12:48

Hanflan, only cause your making me haha.

re your friend. I wonder if people just say that. If I get upduffed, im not really gonna tell people it took 5 cycles and thousands of opks hehe

hanflan · 14/05/2014 12:54

I hope so. The number of friends and friends of friends that seem to get upduffed just by looking at their partners is giving me a bad case of the green eyed monster! Maybe they were/are closet poas addicts like me mwuahaha.

ChandlersFarang · 14/05/2014 12:56

I think that's absolutely what's going on!! No way I'm admitting to all my nerdy TRC gadgetry either!!Grin

ChandlersFarang · 14/05/2014 12:56

*TTC - duh!

xBlueberry88x · 14/05/2014 13:17

Afternoon,

Sorry about the AF Hanflan and Waffley

Chandlers I agree early cycle dtding is the best no worries and just for fun plus after a week of not doing it im gagging lol

AF due tomorrow but lotsa ewcm yesterday and today symptom not going to test though and have been mega relaxed about it this month despite the week of bleeding mid cycle

Lovely and sunny where I am shame im at work hope everyone is good

MissMrsMummy · 14/05/2014 13:36

Really enjoying reading back through these posts - such a lovely atmosphere on here (apart from the issues with annoying friends and Fbook! Argh)

Yay for the new BFPs! So exciting!

We have only DTD once so far and suddenly decided to stop trying this cycle as I may be changing jobs so we will need to hold off for a while. Now - unbelievably - I am hoping I don't get a BFP from our one shag! Would be typical!

I'd still be over the moon obviously but slightly awkward disclosing to new employer! Hmm

kurama · 14/05/2014 13:49

well im officially off to join the june bus. after dtd this morn and seeing a bit of blood and doc saying to relax and not test till next week the pains started kicking in Sad Sad Sad cant believe it after everything thats happened this month I was so sure. Angry fx for you all tho Smile

hanflan · 14/05/2014 13:55

Oh kurama has AF arrived in full force? So sorry. We seem to be cycle buddies! See you on the June bus Flowers

SoMuchFruit · 14/05/2014 14:51

So sorry that AF has got some. That's tough Kurama.

Grin @ Chandlers "Must. Maintain. Joyful. Shags..." .. it does feel like that doesn't it.

I have now PO a grand total of 8 sticks. All have lines. Marginally stronger than the rest, bar this mornings' which was a bit faded (4dpo) but I was impatient, didn't wait for room temp pee and then forgot to put it flat.. am blaming POAS-fecklessness there.

Am off to Tesco in a second where I will buy many CBDigis and maybe a FRER. Whatever sticks the mood takes me to buy and then I shall have myself a POAS-athon.

I told OH.. he is also very cautious about it all. Says we should 'do nothing' (i.e no tests etc) for another week. Like that is going to happen.. [hmmm]

From the physical side, enormo-boobs and permanent nausea. Can't face food but I am starving which is adding to my slightly psychotic emotional state. So yay! It's all great!

Back later with my stash..

SoMuchFruit · 14/05/2014 14:52

*when I said.. "That's tough Kurama" .. I meant it in a supportive way.. it could be current madness but I read it back and it sounded a bit mean.

Thanks Kurama. That was very disappointing for you.
