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'm due to test Friday if cycle is 28 days like last month or Monday if 30 days like normal cycles. I think I might crack on Saturday if no AF. Very hard to compare to last month as was on the good painkillers and was very constipated and nauseated.

This month minimal symptoms, very windy and a bit more CM than usual but otherwise less AF symptoms than usual have been in a very happy mood. Boobs not really sore bit achey around the sides but I've been coughing a lot.

DH is refusing to engage in conversation about it as afraid I will get my hopes up

Here is the possibly incorrect list.
Many dates need to be added so feel free to let me know these!
We are currently running at a percentage of 38.9%!!! We need a few more bfp's as our take up rate (new people joining the thread) is significantly higher than our conversion rate (BFPs).
Tentatively wondering if people who haven't posted in more than a few months may have found a happier home on MN and aren't part of our thread anymore (so can remove them to make the % higher) or is that mean? (However all statistics are lies anyway)

Oh hang on... Did knightly get a BFP too? She was on the list from ages ago. Hurrah % can go up!
... If so we are back up to 40.67%

Morning all ☕️

Aunt Cow due today, so far no sign. Really achy back but not cramping, no acne. Slightly sore boobs. The roller coaster of cycle 2 continues.

kat if you DTD and ov Friday that sounds like a good chance to me. Your oh sounds like a man after my heart - pistachio do not last long in my house.

Kat I might do the same next month!! Just forget it all for a cycle and see what happens???

Ooh lovely list 👍🏽 thanks Kat

Thanks kat!
Uhuu! Jem and Elle! Fingers crossed for you!!! Today or tomorrow testing? Exciting (has lost hope and now lives off other people's BFPs )

cd9 for me. Just getting impatient to start dtd again.

I m geographically separated from OH until thursday (cd11) . But he is taking me out to a nice restaurant ........ will try to persuade OH not to drink too much ......

I swear I never thought so much about dtd before ttc!

I plan to start opk testing from tomorrow.

good luck all!!! I feel another bfp for someone soon......

ever I've gone off testing :( I enjoy being pregnant in my head and the disappointment of the white stick is too much. Got a bfn on Saturday and being a drama queen basically! If AF doesn't show today then I'll test tomorrow.

Thanks for the list kat, someone popped up with a bfp a couple of days ago who I hadn't even heard of so it's good to see who everyone is!!!

Jem I understand, I wont be testing unless AF is late

jem

I won't test until AF is late. I would rather wait until i can really trust the test result. I.e. 99% accurate.

Hep great minds...

Hi Kat, that's a serious list! Thanks for compiling. I'm on the March bus now ... AF booted me out of Feb! I'm only CD 5 so I'll probably be on this bus for a while

Cat I think that was mrsknightley?? Was on the list though!
If anyone doesn't have a date then please tell me and I can allocate you your correct seat on the bus :)

Morning ladies.

OH likes adding extra nuts to his cereal so think I'll invest in Brazil nuts he usually takes some crushed walnuts. I'm a big fan of tuna & shellfish so good news there.

sucha your not out till your out fingers crossed x

kat I'll take a ticket for March 5th testing please x (sorry to mess you list)

are the dates AF due dates? mine is 15th March +/- who knows....

Good plan peaches you only need a small amount of Brazil nuts too so they should last awhile 1-2 would be enough (if you have a OH like Kat maybe hide the bag)

I have fallen into the pit of despair and am now convinced I'm not pregnant, no particular reason why. Wish it was Saturday already.

feefs I know the feeling... Do you want to join me in my pit of despair? I've got chocolate

Thanks feefs going to see if I can grab a bag today. He is actually a bit of a nut fiend too, very partial to a drink and nuts at the weekend. He is well warned about the consequences of over indulging and giving himself and upset stomach though haha.

But if he starts just now and I'm out this month then it's another string to our bow for next cycle ☺

Thanks confusedcat I'm so glad we have this group I can't imagine how I would deal with all this without having the support. I keep googling every tiny thing and then convincing myself I am or am not pregnant. We're taking a break after this month for March and April for the practicality reason of a Christmas/January baby and if I'm not pregnant this month it'll be 2017 (hopefully) before we have a baby. Work is awful today, so no helping!

I completely fixated every last symptom last month and was upset when af showed so I'm trying (and if I'm honest failing a little) not to think about it too much. It's soo hard! Roller coaster every month!!

Thanks for keeping such good track of us kat you deserve a

Am sat in clinic waiting for day 6 scan and then bloods...

Good luck kwick!

I just googled magic 8 ball online. . . Have sunk to new depths. Have been mostly fine this month but we put so much effort into ISW that it got my hopes up.

Officially out. Aunt Bitchface is here with a vengeance. So sign me up to the next bus! Next test date will be 23 March.

peaches and feef I’m just the same. Every tiny thing = defo preggo.

This cycle I have learned that every single thing can be pregnancy or PMS. I have also learned that tea just does taste slightly metallic to me.

Next cycle I’m actually going to try OPKs. At least that’ll give me something to focus the crazy on.

Sorry for leading you all on a wild goose baby chase this cycle! I really did convince myself back there. But am feeling okay about it now. DH has come a long way and is now actually wanting to try with me, and that is a massive step forwards for us.
