Apologies all for my stressing and outbursts; I am extremely impatient and a control freak - not the idea personality traits for ttc! And I over-analyse (it's not just ttc, i over-analyse everything!) but thank you all for listening and telling me to stop being so stressed so early Smile need a slap in the face to put it in perspective!

Katybear123 · 12/10/2014 21:19

Hi ladies
So much to catch up on busy weekend here seeing family which has been lovely but nackering.

Jackie big congrats lovely news

Sunbathing and spinning thanks for ur advice I'm defo going for today and Tomoz if I can do tue will do to.

Angelham we live about 30 min from Thorpe park so we must live pretty close.Grin

Cd16 and peak watery cm no Ewcm though which is interesting will c if I get that tomoz on 2nd peak. Awful ovulation pain today does anyone else get that it's been like a really bad stitch the sort that stops u running all day is the normal? Had the same last month to. It's bloody painful but refuse to let it stop me dtd.

So sorry Nordic, it definitely sounds like it is worth talking to someone if you can. Thinking of you.

Cariad2014 · 12/10/2014 21:37

Thinking of you Nordic. Enormous hugs. Flowers I know from experience how much early losses mess with your head.

Want - your description of your personality sounds just like me! Fx you get your BFP and a healthy, sticky bean soon. But as others have said, you do learn so much with every cycle and it's still early days.

MaMaPo - Sorry about the BFN. Fx AF stays away and it's still too early for a BFP.

Boosk · 12/10/2014 21:39

want support and a friendly ear is what these buses are all about. TTC brings out the control freak in all of us I'm afraid.

Katy I think it can vary a lot form person to person. I just get a few minutes of stabbing pain just inside my hip bone. At least I think it's ovulation pain. Only ever on the left side though, I hope that doesn't mean my right side is duff.

fredsmum01 · 12/10/2014 21:50

So managed to pop to the shop but my local co-op didn't sell Frer... Grr! Spent £15 on two clearblue digital tests and confirmed BFP! Can't quite believe it!

beakerandburette · 12/10/2014 21:51

wow this thread moves fast... Massive congratulations to all with bfp! Suppose I'd best add my stats.
TTC #2, cycle 5, bfp due 30th/31st Oct.

flowerbombVR · 12/10/2014 21:59

Your in my thoughts Nordic, keep being strong, you will get there one way xx

Sorry to hear the witch has been out grrr..

Ruby Want and the others who are testing early/sharp- keep positive X

Well I have been catching up with this thread since this afternoon !!! Would you believe that. Hmm
And I agree with the consensus that it's a lovely place to be Smile
Katy, I have have quite intense ov pains, last month's were much worse (resulted in bfp then mc) and I have had them again !
I think it must be normal as I never had any problems conceiving or carrying my kids X

Hope alls well MrsE, let the family do a bit of caring for you Wink

FX for everyone still waiting xx

flowerbombVR · 12/10/2014 22:00

Wow freds SmileGrin

I knew it x

Jessica85 · 12/10/2014 22:02

Freds, that's awesome, congrats! £15 well spent I say (and I'm normally a total skinflint).

Cariad2014 · 12/10/2014 22:03

Congrats on the CB BFPs Freds - such awesome news. Here's to a happy and healthy nine months.

Mumwannabe82 · 12/10/2014 22:05

Yay to freds that's awesome news Smile
Nordic, sorry to hear you are having an awful time, big hugs Flowers

beakerandburette · 12/10/2014 22:10

Congrats Freds!
Nordic, so sorry that you are having such a tough time. Your situation sounds similar to when we were TTC with DD fell pg on cycle 17 when we decided to give up trying.

Bovnydazzler · 12/10/2014 22:16

Thanks for the advice Blueberry. Hope clomid works for you this cycle and see you in the November 2(+)ww!!
Hmm may need to rethink my Tuesday scan, was planning on going myself, driving and returning to work straight after (I've got a deadline later that afternoon so can't really take the afternoon off in case)... I'll tell them I'm working from home at least.
After reading this thread I've brought some preseed for later this cycle. If I ovulate (not sure if I am) I've got a few week window when it could be so it's EOD for about 3 weeks... I'm kind of appreciating the dregs of my period now when I can't DTD!

Congratulations freds Flowers

Sorry to all who are having a tough time. I thought ttc would be fun and exciting. I'm realising now that was a very naive thought.

cariad and want. I agree with everything you said about control freakery! It's so hard not to analyse, obsess and go crazy! I'm having a pretty irrational day - swinging between feeling really upset that I may have missed ovulation and convincing myself I'm pregnant and symptom spotting! It's going to be a long week..........

I don't think we can manage much more dtd.
Done cd8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
Even DH is asking when we've done enough.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/10/2014 22:47

Congratulations Fred's! Thanks

Nordic, don't loose heart. Easier said than done I know. Thanks

Thanks everyone, have had a fairly easy day dead heading roses in the rain. I love my garden. Smile rounded up with getting ds to sleep in his own bed and downton. Pain has lessened as the day has gone on. Still dull ache but much more bearable. Have only managed a ham sandwich, lilt and crisps today. Made soup then cast it aside, oh well that's probably a good symptom. Thankyou to everyone for hand holding. You're all very generous of spirit.

Here's some more pregtober luck for you all ??

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/10/2014 22:48

Treacle could you both manage angry quickies? You don't have to look at each other Wink

fredsmum01 · 12/10/2014 22:50

Thanks all.... Wishing you all baby dust xxx

Treaclepie19 · 12/10/2014 22:52
