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

miley it was a shock when he did it the first time "babe, you're ovulating...you smell different " and i was sure I just needed a wash or something, but we're on the 3rd go of him guessing now,
I may do an opk tomorrow just to see if he's right! Haha!

I do keep all of y'all in my prayers but I say an extra one for our kwick I want it so badly for you mate, and you've gone through hell and high water, so the way I think of it, an extra little prayer can't hurt!

I'm aware I sound like an evangelical minister right now praise Jesus! 👐 haha! In other news, apparently farted so loud and long last night Dh was surprised I hadn't blown my arse out!

Happy birthday for in 15 minutes blue 🍰👑🎉💟🍷💐🐘 the only positive of af is that you can have a hefty drink of wine and enjoy it!

Wow what a beautiful butter bean miley! Congrats

Feef... 14 months + 6 off the pill cripes that's a long time. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse!! I keep thinking "it must be me next month... " But 2 years is ages away!!

Happy birthday bluebird!!!!!!!!!!

And happy egg-harvesting kwick! Keeping everything crossed for you!!! When do you/we find out if it's successful or is that way down the line?

Stark your DH has a nose for pheromones or something! I think don't use OPKs and just go by DHs nose!

I think he does ya know kat like some kind of fanny whiffing sniffer dog! If I hadn't just had a bath when he said it I'd have been concerned, but I was all clean and cocoa oiled

I love that your hubby is do in touch -starky I had to explain that I didn't pee out of my foof the other day! I don't think he'll be guessing ovulation any time soon!!

Happy Birthday Miley 🎉🎈🎁

After dreaming about POAS and waking up at the crack of dawn thinking about POAS I got up and did it

Ohhh happy 30th blue so sorry the witch got you. But now you can go out and enjoy your cocktails and dancing with wild abandon!! And think positive, you WILL get pregnant this year!!
I'm 30 on Sunday and we're off for a weekend away for the weekend but no nice cocktails for me anymore! please get merrily drunk on my behalf!

Eek Moggy! You are upduffed!!

Yaaaay moggy!!

Congrats Moggy

Congrats Moggy! Great news!

And Happy Birthday Bluebird! Hope you have a wonderful day and are utterly spoiled by everyone! x

Congrats moggy yay, I'm sure this is a lucky thread!
Happy Birthday to those celebrating!

Happy Birthday bluebird 🎂

Thank you all so much for warm wishes... Had a little cry on bus just now as I was reading them... All your support means so much and all the good luck wishes are more than reciprocated!

Some of you may recall I have upped my milk intake to improve egg quality - just FYI if you have also upped yours, go back to normal levels after ovulation as the extra milk can interfere with implantation.

Congratulations Moggy! What a lovely line!

Happy birthday bluebird!

Kat sorry about visit to MILs in ISW . That is really frustrating. Hope AF stays away.

moggy you did it!! Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!!!

I will know more after egg collection tomorrow - but in theory: magic potion mixed with eggs, they watch development and any that develop to blastocyst are put back in up to 5 days later. I will likely max have 1 but if I had more I would prob freeze. Still many steps to complete and many more injections to have but I am in perfect timing to have my baby.

Kwick does it have to be milk or will any dairy do? I can't drink milk but could manage yogurt...or cheese!

Starky wish your DH would give smelling lessons! That must be so useful.

My DH has now redeemed himself as we dtd last night. I'm CD10 today. Not entirely sure what day I normally ovulate but OPK negative this morning, will try and do another one after work.

Love the scan pic Miley, what a lovely butter bean! I thought 'he's lovely!' when I saw the pic too...another sweepstake calls?!

elle when TTC you should generally up your dairy, but milk is special as it is a complex protein - an alternative is quinoa. Do not go down the soy route as can lead to hormonal interference.

WAaaah moggy! Congratulations lovely!

Happy birthday bluebird! I felt funny about turning 30 but as soon as I did it was great, no different really. 32 now and love being in my 30s :)

rae It really does bring it home when you get some baby cuddles in doesn't it. I find more that I'm less bothered about holding other people's babies and more like I just want mine now.

Happy birthday blue! Enjoy the vino hopefully your last for awhile

Fx for Friday kwick.

Congratulations moggysinger woo woo

Did you have any symptoms moggy?? Other than the dreaming of POAS!

Wonderful news Moggy - congratulations!! Sounds as if your dreams are really on the mark. What else can you tell us!?

Happy birthday Bluebird hope you have an exciting weekend of celebrations planned.

Congrats moggy!

Happy birthday bluebird!

Loving the scan pic Miley, must make it feel a bit more real now!

For anyone worried about dairy intake, I'm vegan (I swear I'm not a weirdo - well not because I'm vegan anyway!) so no dairy for me and I probably eat more soy than most meat eaters, and I've still managed to get upduffed!
