Thread 11 TTC#1. Let the fertile games begin! May the eggs be ever in your favour!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?'

Thread 11. Welcome one and all!
We do not judge, we enjoy TMI, we i encourage waiting to poas nobody listens and all the grossness you can find from a group of intelligent, articulate ladies.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

I know exactly what you mean Jem the 2ww has got so old! I have zero symptoms to spot so can't even play that game. Your hangover symptoms sound hopeful so fx!

I heard about the postnatal psychosis documentary on the radio-it does sound interesting, did you watch it in the end? Love your fur baby 💕

Tee hee at the blusher Kat! I am a little disappointed that you haven't revealed a brilliant new seduction technique. I bloody need one!

Kwick you obviously have good genes in your family!

Sounds hopeful Jam! Fx for you.

Miley your niece sounds lovely, I have a lovely niece around the same age too. Mine is super cuddly

Starky I lol'd at Mother nature and af have combined forces, it's possible they may be trying to assassinate me from within. haha!

Cycle 1
CD 12

I have been lurking right since the first thread back in Sept but just got married in Jan so weren't in a position to try till post honeymoon. It has been great following to pick up lots of tips and see all the BFP's. Gives you hope it can happen quick as I have been pretty broody for some time!!

Like Moose I am straight of the pill so need to see what happens. On my 3rd day of High fertility on CB tests so will hopefully peak later this week. Excited now I can start but sure that will become frustration soon!!

Hi May

Ooh we can be cycle buddies!! Fingers crossed for a smooth exit from the evil pill!!! (I've not thought it evil for the last 15 years it's saved me from unwanted pregnancy - it's just evil now I've decided I want a child and it's been messing with my body!)

Hi Moose - yes we can!! Doctor recently asked whether cycles were normal before the pill and I didn't have a clue! Been on it for 14 years and had no need to track every date and bodily function in such detail beforehand!!

Ooo can I join please?

Cycle 2, Day 30
14 dpo

So Ovia says I should've tested yesterday (I didn't!) and MyCycle says I should test tomorrow. My shortest cycle over the past 6 months was 28 days and the longest was 35 so I'm going to try to wait until Sunday (big fat never going to happen!!).

Had some brown spotting on Monday and nothing since but feeling a little crampy today so AF could well be on the way now (which would be bang on time). If so, I'm fully prepped with my brand new basal thermometer and a jumbo Costco sized bag of wide width OPK sticks all ready for next FW and some incessant dh-riding!!!

Good luck everybody x

Hi all,

Can I join? About me...

Cycle 1
CD 3 (I think, does brown discharge count?)

I've been lurking for a while but this will be the first month we've been in the position to TTC. Came off the pill 3 months ago and been a bit irregular since!

Can i join in too?

Cycle 4
CD 3

Last cycle was really frustating for me.

After coming off the pill, my cycle was super regular. So when i got to 8 days late, i was really getting my hopes up (despite doing my best not to.....).
OH was fantastically supportive whilst i was clearly distracted.

I was irregular before going on the pill. So not sure if my irregular ways are returning, or if it was a one-off cycle. Anyway, hope is back!

Good luck to everyone on this thread, and lets have lots of enjoyable bonking!

Feel a bit crazy for posting these as think I might be imagining a second line where there isn't one. Can any of you see the faintest of second lines here? I'm 11-12dpo and it wasn't FMU (sorry starky)

I see it Lara, congratulations!

lara I think I see it too!

Hi newbies! Hope you have a short, successful journey

elle I didn't watch it as was busy watching the interview with the columbine killers mum on news night. Have got post partum psychosis on record. I watch such cherry telly 😌

Welcome newbies may the fertile forces be with you.

jem I read the book about columbine. I'm obsessed with true crime serial killer/massacre stuff not in a dodgy way don't worry. I couldn't even give my dog wrong for digging the garden this morning I'm too soft

I've been off sick for 2 days and have decided that I'm definitely going to have to get Netflix back for maternity leave. Day time tv is dire!

It's fascinating isn't it miley? The interview with the mum is worth a watch. It does sound like he had quite a normal upbringing - but it's then so hard to understand how he came to do what he did.

So over 2ww why does mother nature do this to us WHY

Hello all, and welcome newbies! Lara FX for you, I can't see anything personally so eagerly await the results of FMU with FRER.
Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Congratulations lara !!! '👍👑🎉🎊🎁🎡🍼

Yay, congrats lara! 💐

I'm 13dpo now, still no af and bfn on an ic again today. Grr! First cycle off pill was 31 days so will give it until Friday (CD29 today) and test again if no af.

Congrats Lara!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐 fab news!

With all the bfps in our little group, it really gives me hope that all of us will (eventually) get one too! 😊

Yay congratulations lara!
