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

Beautiful! I love snow.

Good luck kwick!!!

Aw I'm so jealous starky!!! We have nothing but rain.

kwick let us know how you get on

So jealous of the snow, Starky! Though at least London is blue skies and sunshine this morning, which is also nice (and rare).

Good luck today, Kwick!

Awesome snow pic starky!

Hi everyone! So I've been awol for ages because we decided to have our wedding in September this year and put off ttc until then. But then this happened this morning...

harriet congratulations!! Are you putting the wedding on hold or going ahead? I think maternity wedding dresses are so lovely, my friend had one and it was amazing. You could tell she was pregnant but it was so flattering

Awww congrats Harriet!!!

Wow kwick that is dedication to the cause! I ate some nuts the other day :) but then I countered that with a glass of wine. Ho hum.
Ovia told me to test today but I didn't because I know I'm not pregnant so I'll just wait for the witch tomorrow.
Sorry AF for you Ipatches **
Congratulations Harriet **

I feel we need a list update and some more stats... I may have missed some people's AF, so please let me know, also if there are some people who are no longer in the group I'll remove them as they are making our stats low. (Considering we have more members now we have been an even 40% for a few weeks!!) more BFPs please!!!

That means we are currently 45.3% pregnant.
(Until newbies are added and people who have left are removed)

Congratulations Harriet! Did this happen whilst you were still trying or has this been a complete fluke? What a lovely fluke if so :)

Thanks for the update kat are you sure you are out? 45% pregnant is awesome.

So back home after egg collection - they got 2 eggs. I will know more in the next few days... I am confident that the magic potion will do its work and I will have two lovely embryos.
I have to start injecting tomorrow again - one of the injections is a intramusclar one - you should see the needle (blue), very worried about this
I had a bit of a wobble at the hospital... I am not sure what it was - but had a little cry then got my act together again. I think it was the news about the injections, the fact they were going to put a suppository in... just an overwhelming feeling of discomfort washed through my body.

I am sure it is not a prob to have pineapple early but make sure you take for 5 days dpo too - and eat the core - has to be fresh, not tinned.

oops just seeing this page

wow - amazing picture starky thanks for sharing

Yipee Harriet - congratulations!!!!!!!!

Oh Queen of lists kat much obliged for the update - I will give you my test date after embryo transfer - which, if I am lucky will be within the next 6 days and the test date 16 days on from that.

Get this guys, if I am preggers I will have to inject until week 10-12!!!!! Oh well "todo por la patria" - "everything for the homeland"!!!!

Hi kwick
fx all the discomfort is worth it! yours is certainly not an easy route. Try to have a relaxing weekend.

bleugh... pineapple.... can't stand them!!

(i'm same old hep - i had to change my username for another thread, and can't go back to my old default).

Kwick I use the blue needles. My main advice is to go higher that the buttock line and aim for the top of the glute. I keep banging on about them but Sher Institute have another very good video on you tube on the im injections and show the best site. Mine are much less painful now.

congratulations Harriet!

Thanks lesbecky as I have to self administer I thought I had to do the thigh... will definitely check out video on you tube.

No not 100% - I am CD26. I poaic (peed-on-an-Internet-cheapie) yesterday out of interest and it was white as the northern snow. So pretty convinced. I know they aren't v sensitive but they'd show something by then I'd have thought

Hi ladies!

Thanks for the chart Kat. Yup I'm 10dpo CD29/28-33. FF and Ovia say to test tomorrow. Temps are still above baseline but trying very hard to ignore it. Nothing to indicate anything joyful. I am most definitely going to get a Starkys 🌟

Kwick you got two eggs?!?? Woohoo!!! No wonder you had a wobbley! Even despite the hormone injections you're going through so much!! Rest up and look after yourself!

Harriet congratulations!!! Tell us how this happened?!

Stark I'm so jealous of the snow! But I'm looking forward to being off work all next week 😍

fx for you Ni4444!
i'm 8dpo, so starting to get twitchy but i will be good so i get my Starkys.

Not going to buy any tests.

(how do people get all these extra icons??)

I'm super pleased everybody's doing the Starky's Star challenge!

I'm getting a twitch in my left side again so between Dh the ovulation sniffer and that, I'm thinking it's time! I did an opk yesterday (can't remember if I told yous) to test his theory and it was either a peak or a positive! He clarified this morning that he could smell me when he got in (ovulating) and it's just me he can smell, he doesn't just go round sniffing women at work and telling them they're fertile! 😂

hep I've got them on my tablet, a whole plethora of emoticons!

Congratulations harriet lovely news! 🍼🍰🌹👑

Got everything crossed (except my legs! ) for your eggs and transfer kwick will they put both embryos in when they transfer or just one?

Congrats to the the bfps and to kwick on not just one but two juicy eggs!

I took my first ever opk today, I stated testing late as the package only just arrived. It was negative but I've got loads of ewcm today - is this normal?

confusedcat1 my ewcm comes the day before my ovulation test shows ovulation, maybe you're the same?

Fx for your 2 eggs Kwick

So I took a pg test like suggested & had a BFN. Continued with the ovulation test which went from high fertility to peak fertility (2nd time in 3weeks!)

Went to the doctor to question some things (cycles lasting for 30-100 days even though I've been off the pill for a year, breasts filling with milk every couple of weeks) & I'm now being sent for blood test to check my hormones & things, need to have an internal scan & DH is off to the fertility clinic for a sample. Feeling a little deflated!

Lol I'm glad it's just you stark... However you could have rented him out as a sideline business to sniff women as part of fertility assessing. Oh well.

Ni I'm not sure what temps are supposed to be cycle wise. I've not done any temp charting yet. Sounds like too much hassle (and I'm a mouth breather so wonder if I'll have a cold mouth that isn't the right temperature when I wake up) something like your temp goes up a few days after you ovulate but I don't know why or what's supposed to happen to it after that

Which opk's are you using rosie ? It took me a few goes to understand the ones I use. Do you keep yours? I found it really helpful to line them all up in order to see the progression.

kat I suggested that to him! He was less than impressed at my business model for the 'opdw' ovulation predictor direwolf!

I'm a mouth breather too, especially at night, so I don't think I'd be very good at temping.
