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

feef that doesn't sound fun. Hope you feel better soon

ben+jerrys?

peaches dh has some uses! he's probably right. Dtd just in case but I'm not holding out much hope for the next few cycles tbh. Just had a look at ovia and I'm cd 17 but not in her isw till tomorrow. But mydays says isw started on Tuesday. Who knows!

I've got a giant spot which isn't a spot it's just a painful lump on my face...its gross!

Do you know what's weird? I know you got a spot like that last cycle right around ovulating starky!!

Thanks hep in bed now for a quick lie down.

Hope your not out peaches

feef YOU ARE RIGHT! I was trying to think back to last cycle and I was sure I got a spot then too! Maybe I get a prophecy zit to alert me to internal egg laying?! Whilst slightly disfiguring, it would be handy!

How are you feeling now? Did they give you any painkillers?

Well done feefs hope you're recovering well.

starky why are you not hopeful for your next few cycles? Is this to do with your chaps training regime?

Day 9 over here. ISW commenced last night, feel quite in the mood so back on it tonight I think. Doing my second OPK tonight, is it wrong I'm excited for this? Such a ttc loser

We've all been hoping for a bright tummy button that says "you are pregnant", a spot on your face that says "you are ovulating" is one step forward starky!

Got some painkillers but feeling quite sorry for myself.

Glad ISW is making you feel more positive sucha that's what it's all about

Aww feefs hope your better soon. Af is a bitch but at least you can get comfortable on the strong pills as you say. You can look forward to nice glass of wine or such over the weekend to help you get over your ordeal 🍸x

starky I totally get where your coming from its soo easy to get too deep in to all this, you panic if your app changes the slightest thing! I'm just going for the more relaxed dtd option too. But I have bought Opks from amazon, the thicker ones which I think you said were better to read. I get a real crampy day about half way through my cycle and I'm just curious if this indeed an ovulation sign in iv always believed. Between your spot and your talented husband you may have cracked this and can sack ovia bitch altogether 😆x

jem its permitted peeing on a stick, we can understand the excitement 😆 x

Jem you are not! It's great that you are still enthusiastic about ISW rather than "ok...here we go again ......)

Stark maybe DH is bullshitting you about the smell and really he's just looking for signs of huge spots??

Moggy whoooooooooooooo!!! Congratulations!! wishing you a good 9 months!

Feef ouch. Rest up babe... Painkillers.... Netflix.... Ice cream...

Checking in, hope you are all well.
AF is due tomorrow. No symptoms other than cramps which is usual for me the day before my period. So I'm anticipating being out this month come morning. Which sucks.

moggy amazing news congratulations!!!! . What was your post ovulation ritual?? (I read something about ceyenne pepper??!!)

feef hugs to you. and

jem absolutely not, ttc is exciting stuff I'm exciting to use preseed tonight DH will hate it

I'm CD13 today. Firmly in ISW. Dtd on CD 9 and 11, dtd tonight. Think I'm due my positive opk on CD14-15 so will dtd every night now until CD16.
Really impressed with epo this cycle, will def use again.

Just thought I'd have a quick catch up of today's posts... Congratulations Moggy! So pleased for you

Bored so Just had a snoop on Facebook (iv been trying not to use it much) and a friend iv not spoke to in a while has had a baby!! Major baby bombed there!! Can't belive I never heard she was pregnant! Suppose that's one way to do it, just by pass the announcement and wait till you stick pics up of a fresh little new born....

Thanks peaches, Kat, zazzles! No wine allowed today but lots of ice cream and off work tomorrow just in time for new house of cards on Netflix. Silver linings

kat dearest list Oracle - how you doing?

zazzles I think it was me that said about the cayenne pepper - it is supposed to draw blood to womble area so good to have around DTD/beginning of 2WW. I have been have scoops of the stuff all week as I prepare for my egg collection

Okay I am off to have my last bath in a while (don't worry I will still shower).

Sorry about the baby bomb Peaches

Zazzles I have been impressed with EPO as well-will definitely use it again.

Hi Holly-how are you doing? I spotted raspberry leaf tea and bought some today but haven't read the baby making bible yet-when am I meant to drink it?!

Why are baths out kwick?

Hello zazz! Epo fan hey? Is this good for cm? Maybe I'll chuck some of that into the mix too,get crazy

Well, I for one hope your womble behaves and is fruitful kwick 😁

The nasal ovulation happened before the spot kat or I'd say you were right! 😂

peaches that happened to me, I'd not been on for about 18 months, decided to randomly check it over Christmas and there were like 4 fresh babies I'd had no idea were gestating!

Hi all just checking in

Due to test tomorrow but reckon i'll wait til sat morning. I do not deserve a starky star tho as i've tested three times already. All before 10dpo and none with fmu- what was even the point???

Boobs are i guess a bit achey when prodded and have felt quite gassy esp when i first get up. Had a nap after work twice this week and went to bed at 9 on tuesday, but i think thats been more down to opportunity than real 'fatigue'. All in all, i'm blatantly symptom spotting with vair little to report!

In addition, i've been asked to take on some more responsibility at work over the nect few months due to a colleague being upduffed and so not able to lead on said project as planned. Yay.

Congratulations moggy so pleased for you x

Happy birthday blue!

I'm with you sparky tested twice (ovia game me permission today) when I have no symptoms at all, and then got upset about the negative!

I've had KFC for lunch and a zizzi dinner. Feeling positvely fat and contented. Could almost use a bit of chocolate

Vix well you better had considering that for lunch and dinner!!!

Thanks starky

feefeefs baths are out as tomorrow they will be going up my fanjo to collect the eggs and so there is a risk of infection if I then sit in water - normally after this type of procedure they say no bathing or swimming for 2 weeks, then I will be having (hopefully) embryo transfer - another fanjo voyage - so again no bathing or swimming - my clinic normally advise this for the whole 2ww & if you get preggers for the first 12 weeks. This may all sound a little extreme but well I would not want failing to follow instruction be the reason something went wrong....

Day 9 of 9 days in a row at work tomorrow. 5pm can't come quick enough!

Nothing much to report here, think ovulation has been and gone, so am guessing I'm about 2dpo at the moment.

I'm also impressed with epo. Got very obvious ewcm this month.

Just catching up and seen Moggys news! Big congrats!
