....Welcome ladies. let's get those bfp's.

Afternoon all!

sparkly I'm good thanks! Ttc has been going ok, I've been jumping between thinking I'm defo pg and then not being so sure...had vague symptoms for the first 7 days after ov but they've now gone so I'm wondering if I was kidding myself! Sorry to hear about your crappy day with tooth issues....but are you sure you want to AI today? Could the stress of the pain and worry have pushed ov back?

purdey hi five for trumping ff on dojos ov date smug much?

dojo I've also seen a temp rise today which means I'm now 0.2 degs higher which is where it should be.

9dpo here! Which means technically I could justify a poas this weekend...although ff says wait until 2 days after AF is due. That's a week on Sunday!!! What's a girl to do?!

Hello I'm still in! Day 25 and my last two AF came on day 25 so still in! According to the app I'm due Sunday. Keeping everything crossed!!

lulabelle welcome, I felt exactly the same as you do when I started. But then I reme how old I am and thought I'd better crack on

Hmm as a laydee who doesn't often throw spunk up her foof, I'm getting symptoms similar to my previous IUI's, so how do I know it's not just the presence of spermies that causes cramps and shit?

*remembered

Hello GotTheKey, lovely to meet you! It's such a toughie isn't it? I'm finding it challenging enough trying to keep track of my predicted AF and ov thanks to my topsy-turvy cycle. One month I'm 30 days, the next I'm 34... Makes it all very tricky! Wish I knew where I was! x

Im in. On 3rd month of trying, think I caught ov well this month but refusing to symptom spot as last month I was 100% convinced I was!....trying to relax and forget about 2ww...

What symptoms juney?

Had cramping since ovulation although it's geared up a bit more this week.

But besides that I have sore boobs and feel sick but I'm such a twat, I never recorded them in previous cycles where I wasn't attempting to upduff.

Welcome lovely newbies!

Hi DizzyNorthernBird! Ahh, so good to hear similar feelings happening with others! I was told by my GP that I ought to get on with it as I'm in my 30s and have PCSO. Think I could be in for a long road of trying though before a miracle happens!

Yes Lulabelle, I can relate. I came off the pill a year ago so I could get my cycles back to "normal" and they had settled but this month I think I ovulated late so instead of being able to test Monday morning (day before AF) I think I'll have to wait another week!!

*PCOS!

I could have written that post Lula! Started TTC this week too and am both excited and terrified :)

Ah Juneybean I know just what you mean. My womb is SO achey! Bad backache, heartburn, crazy dreams / early waking.... but then I had very similar last month for my BFN too.

Pee'd on a Clearblue Easy this morning and got a blue line but then realised that this was just the background 'crease' and had none of the blue dye colour whatsoever. GRRRR.

Are you 11dpo? 10dpo is darn doin' my head in! :-Z

Lulabelle, don't be terrified! What scares you the most? It's so interesting to me because it was only as I approached the end of my pregnancy that I experienced terror. I like to hear others' perspectives about TTC

Oh ozmund it's such a wind up isn't it?! I am 11dpo and I know in the grand scheme of things it's still early days, but ugh, you hear of so many people getting early positives but my ICs are just whiter than white.

Juney, there will always be symptoms where we are invested heavily in a cycle. I'm sorry to sound patronising. I want this so badly for you, but sore boobs and nausea are symptoms, too, of high progesterone levels. Here are in case I've invoked your wrath. I love you. You know that, right?

Purdey - I'm with you, it's dull! The only exciting part of ttc now is talking to you guys! I wish it was all still new and exciting!

Juney - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you cycle buddy... One of us deserves a bfp this month and it doesn't feel like it's going to be me. Xx

Ah well done sparkly! That's one less thing to worry about
Xxx

You see Purds I know this! I think I even told someone in Feb bus two weeks ago that progesterone caused cramping! But like you say we get too invested :( I bought cake for later though.

Thanks sammy we are getting close to our OTD!

Hi all!
Jumping on the March bus!
TTC #1, 36, TTC for 18 months (seriously 6). Been peeing on OV sticks for a few months and off for 1st acupuncture session tonight eek!

Glad you came winsones! Welcome! Hope the acupuncture goes well :)

purdey I was actually meaning how my post was dull describing my afternoon plans! But I can understand how TCC can drag if you've been doing it for dome time and not having the immediate success you'd hoped for. Surely Nancy pants isn't dull. She look so cute and scrum my in your piccy with her. How is she doing now after her fall?

Dojo you are a fountain of oral health knowledge! Ha ha. Thanks! Yes the numbness is subsiding now it's the agazbsusksusuhsjaoqiqyah pain! 7dpo is early lovely, keep hope going!!

Purdeybird sending to cheer you up. I can't imagine still going at it that long into the future.. But I know if it came to it, like you.. I would do it too! And little Npants will keep you going and I'm sure she's your inspiration! I'm telling you.. You are gonna get a BFP. I'm gonna see it!!!

Welcome Lula I hope you have a very short journey to your BFP! And please don't give yourself hard time, everything you feel is natural.. Everyone has been there! You just have to try focus on the end result and your little baby here and how enriched your life will be... I think... Unless Purdey talks us all out of it.... Ha ha
