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

Congratulations lara! Good the frers are so much better aren't they! So much clearer.

My hopes are officially up this cycle due to The successful completion of ISW!

Yay Lara!!! Fab news!

Checking in.
Planet, currently harbouring a peppercorn of 5+3 if my dates are about right, which they may well not be!

Today is first day bloating was too bad for skinny jeans. Consequently wearing green dress which for reasons known only to myself I have paired with bright purple tights. Look like I should be on Sesame Street!!

Congrats lara!

OMG Sucha that is a definite sign!!!!!

Thank you! I don't believe it yet at all really.

For those interested I had no symptoms whatsoever. But DH, upon seeing the test result, said 'that's interesting, I thought your nipples looked odd yesterday'. Thanks love. Bigger, he meant, but I didn't notice myself.

I took EPO this month for the first time because I lack CM. Still didn't get any noticeable EWCM this month, so it looks like you don't need a lot!

Promising, sucha! When are you due to test?

And yes feefs the FRER is so much clearer than the IC, even though they're the same sensitivity, allegedly.

Lara thats amazing, congratulations!! Wishing you the most healthy of times ahead for you all

Jem promising...keep us posted!

Congratulations Lara!
And I will keep my fingers crossed for you Jem

Thanks girls I feel like I'm going to be a big fat bfn let down after all this but I'm never off my tea. I'm also quite constipated, windy and my boobs definitely feel/look bigger.

AF is due Tuesday. I will try and hold out for that starky star!!

Congrats lara a happy healthy 8/9 my the to you 🙌 yeh x

I've been trying EPO this window and just realised I've lost more CM today than I would expect. OH will be getting notified his services will be required very shortly haha. Good luck ladies we may be on a little BFP streek... fx x

Fx crossed sucha x

Congrats Lara!!!!!
wow two BFPs in two days! we are a lucky!!! and we are 40% pregnant wahoo!!!

(going back down again as soon as newbies get added to the list!)

Congrats Lara!!!

Fx for your bfp jem try not to wind yourself up too much, it's a grizzly business ttc and messes with your head. Hold off as long as you can to test and you're halfway there! 😊

i also think this shows that ICs are a bit rubbish really. (kind of secretly hope I'm miraculously 3 months pregnant despite AF coming and going as i only used ICs... um... ok maybe not)

Have updated the list but dont have dates for all... here goes (sep message as needs to come from my phone)

Jem it's sounding very promising for
You... I think I'd be stuffing chances of getting a starky star and poas anyway...

Ever the voice of reason starkers you are completely right. I’ve been swaying between 100% upduffed and definitely not this month for the last week. It seriously does mess with you! It’s the signs that have caught me off guard or are hard for my brain to fake that make my heart race and think this could be it. I will try and shove it to the back of my addled brain until at least the weekend!

kat no veiny boobs over here, just BIG

40% pregnant is AMAZING go thread!

Congrats Lara!!!!

Welcome aboard newbies! There's loads of you! Word is obviously spreading that there's something strange and catching in this group (I guess- determined sperm?!)

Urgh, I'm tempted to FRER now because of Lara. 12dpo... Might not be able to hold on when DH gets home. AF is due tomorrow...

That's all very well stark and jem. But the pain is in the not knowing. At least if u test you know one way or the other.

You're welcome jem

And kat you're also completely right! I'm just a glutton for punishment!

I'm still around.
Not doing so well with the whole thing actually.
But anyway, TTC #1 Cycle #3, CD 12. AF probably due on 4/3 but who knows.
Trying to muster the enthusiasm to do OPK. Trying to muster the enthusiasm to do anything, actually.
Feel under a lot of pressure and that time is moving in slow motion.

Wtf is going on with my uterus?! Was certain AF had started yesterday as red flow and cramps. Today, nothing but a very light brown discharge that is barely making a mark on a pantyliner. Huh? I've never had a period like that before, normally lasts about 5 days with the 5th day being like that.

iPatches.... ... why do you feel low - about TTC? or just generally and this is something else?
Why do you feel pressure? from who? and why is time moving slow? you are only cycle 3.... thats hardly any time at all!
... ... always helps!

Congrats Lara! Such lovely news! Get yourself over to the grass thread!

I'm so sorry iPatches, I can't imagine what you're going through. I hope you are successful TTCing again

For myself:
Age 29, currently growing a 7-week old raspberry.

Fingers crossed for everyone else on here. Sending love and positive vibes.
