Thread 12 TTC#1"Trying is the fun part" said by nobody ever who's actually trying.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

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

Thread 12. Welcome!

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

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself your pregnant in the tww

My sister in law changed jobs at christmas, then discovered she was pregnant and will only get maternity allowance I think, and wont accrue any holiday like you would normally. She was in the NHS so she was a bit gutted about the finances but over the moon at 40 to be preggo!

Just catching up on messages and stopping here to say hello [waves]

You ladies have been busy today! Been for my midwife booking in appointment and flaked out having my bloods taken! and then went for our early scan. I may be biased but I think we have a beautiful big headed bean

That's fantastic miley A perfect bean!! Congratulations!!!

Ah!!!!! Proper baby bean Miley!!!! 😀 Hurray!! How was the scan?? What's it like to finally see your pics?

Thanks moose and ni it was a huge relief. I was so emotional because it seems so real now 7 tests obviously wasn't enough for me it's such an amazing experience and though pricey is 100% worth it. OH is still beaming. He rubbed his balls and said good job lads haven't burst his bubble by telling him they've done minimal effort compared to my gassy, spewey, tired, exhausted body

Having milky way cheesecake to celebrate cause I'm feeling slightly more human today

I serous can't wait for everyone to be pregnant. No one deserves it more than you lot

What a fantastic scan Miley - I am so pleased you shared it with us guess my stern look worked
After all you have been through with the POAS testing and so on I think you absolutely deserve the peace of mind this scan gives you. May I ask how much it cost? Was it a pelvic scan or a abdominal one?

Thanks sucha

That's annoying Kat re ISW family time.

I don't know if this helps but a woman I work with was told to use condoms for the first six months off the pill then start trying?

Lovely Miley! I think I needed that to cheer me up today.

Lovely scan pic! How exciting for you both Miley

Welcome newbies

Hope you feel better soon jem.

Beautiful bean miley*

Sorry Kat meant to say she now she has two kids number one took 14 cycles (not including first 6off pill) next one took 12 cycles two very healthy pregnancys and lovely children

kwick it was £99 but worth every penny. It was an abdominal one, I was offered an internal but didn't feel we needed it as we'd seen the heartbeat and were assured all was fine. Your stern look definitely worked thanks everyone, we really are over the moon, I'm terrible for worrying so I feel so much pressure lifted now I know things can still go wrong but it's less likely

Thanks for your kind words everyone

Great pic miley glad it went well.

Miley I think £99 is really reasonable and what a lovely piccy you have :) enjoy being upduffed!

Lovely clear pic of a beautiful little bean miley much loveliness ! Got my fx for all of us here to have lovely little beans soon too! Especially kwick got my fingers crossed mostest for you!

tiny he's like a weird vagina bloodhound! He can tell when I'm due on from my smell and apparently when I'm ovulating too, he's done it a few times and was spot on last cycle too!

starky what a lovely thing to say... had a little cry... thank you!
Your DH sounds amazing... you are obviously the yin and yang to one another :) Now get shagging!

Fx crossed for you kwick would love to see you get your well deserved bfp.

feefs thanks for saying about your friend. Gives me some hope as I'm ending cycle 12. Af is about to grace me with her most unwelcome presence. Spotting today to usher her in as always. She's actually going to descend on me fully tomorrow...my 30th birthday. As if turning 30 isn't bad enough I also get the present from hell. Feeling sorry for myself.

Awwww Miley that's a beautiful picture of your little bean! Thank you for sharing. Can't imagine how relieved you must feel, I think I would do the same myself tbh to just make sure.

Thanks Jem and Stark. It's hard work organising one, but I can't wait to see her face Saturday. She's had a real tough time to become a mum, 8 miscarriages and this pregnancy has not been easy physically on her either, I wanted to give her a nice evening.

One of my colleagues and former student of mine has just given birth to her 3rd baby today. He is so scrummy!

Oh and Kwick I have everything crossed for you on Friday morning and that you will get your wish.

Mmm a vagina bloodhound... sounds sexy!

Oh bluebird happy 30th birthday for tomorrow! Surround yourself with and and don't be glum. It's not over yet - you still have plenty of time. Don't let it get you down. Just think, it would be a pretty tame 30th if you weren't allowed to drink or eat all number of delicious things!

Miley that is a super pic! I'm very excited for you. I hope we all follow your good example very soon.

Aw Blue Happy 30th for tomorrow!🎉🎁🎂🍸🍹 I'm sorry about AF, but after all the fear of it I actually had such a great year of celebrations when I was 30. I hope you have a fabulous weekend boozing it up to kick off your year of fun. And I'm crossing my fingers and toes that BFP comes along soon xxx

kwick I'd pay it twice over to feel the relief I felt! I'm with starky on the extra fx for you, I have a soft spot for you because I sounds like you have to go through uber hell!

blue happy 30th birthday for tomorrow!! Flip af the bird and drink lots of wine until you vomit! I need someone else to vomit to make me feel better

starky lol at your bloodhound hubby 😂 i'll never forget when you told us he sniffed toy and told you you were ovulating. Brilliant. He's certainly useful!

Thanks again ladies. If you zoom in you can see it's massive head which I'm finding hilarious right now. He's been renamed butter bean

Ps hello and welcome to Tiny and Abi! 👋

Shattered and snuggling down to sleep here...long week at work! 8dpo, AF due any time from Saturday... continuing to absolutely ignore the whole thing and NOT get hopeful this month! Oh sht..I forgot to eat my 🍍...gets out of bed again just in case. Just going through the motions!

Yay miley!

Fx Kwick

Happy Birthday blue!

Just had a lovely dinner with our friends. They brought their 4 month old with them so I've had a whole evening of cuddles. DH and I are both feeling a bit sad now though. We want our own!
