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

hep I'm the worlds worst for symptom spotting - am determined not to do this this time! In fact I've been noting things my body does pre ovulation such as back ache, feeling emotional, being gassy - all of which would convince me I was pregnant if in the TWW.

Massive hug for you starky I definitely couldn't cope in a baby group right now. Bless your mum!

confused I think my DH appreciates the opks too! He likes the sciencey side of it. Anything to get him enthusiastic / involved!

How frustrating ipatches you just need to know at that stage. The runny cheese would be my option here. Fx no AF for you.

elle love your unintentional pun on cocking it up in isw week :) We are well into this too - DTD cd 8&9 and planning again today - cd 11. Opks are showing nothing yet though :( I am so impatient! 😡

I hope your brain's not really up your arse Starky! It does seem unfair that you're only on cycle 3 and your cycle length varies, hope it turns out to be helpful.

Congratulations to those who have had BFPs

snow I can't believe your off soon! You'd better still post on this bus!

kat hugs for you - I know you're a couple of cycles ahead of me and it's really starting to get me down

And on a final note - I cannot believe I missed emoji so I'm going to make the most of it before it disappears!

Good idea about the mooncup Zazzles! (I don't have one, never quite been brave enough to try!)

LOL Jem, I hadn't even noticed my pun! Hee hee.

zazz how do you find moon cups? I've always been intrigued but never tried.

ipatches sorry to hear you are in limboland - our brains come sometimes delay af - well I know mine can. What about jamon serrano? I have not eaten any since September and that has been harder than no alcohol believe me!!!!

jem I don't really use them - I tried it once & didn't like it but I'm prepared to suck it up for ttc!

ace descriptions as always starky - I think you underestimate your DH's prowess - best of luck for DTD this pm.

Elle brave or stupid? But you know I got the calling... the hunger... the need to be a mummy and life is too short to not got for it! What about "Great Uncle Bulgaria" as name - that way I incorporate the Great from Great Portland Street

Ni let me take a look in "It all starts with the egg" book and get back to you.

Okay everyone on ISW - which I like to call Insane Sex Week - please keep the side up and shag loads - that is an order!!!

So I heard from the clinic - of the two eggs one has fertilised and is under observation - most likely will be transferred on Monday!!! Which is great news as means I can rest up before I have to travel on Wednesday for work!
The other egg is still in with the magic potion but has not yet fertilised but still could.
I am so pleased and excited... although I must contain myself as this is still just the start of the journey. I am going to celebrate by buying a pass to a new Yoga place opening near me next week.

Oh kwick yay!!!

This new thread doesn't seem to work for me for some reason - I keep not being able to find it and it's never in my watched list no matter how many times I try to add it! Congrats for all the BFPs I've missed in my absence. Our hit rate is mighty impressive...

Kat, can I join you on the April bus? AF hasn't arrived yet but it's on its way and unless DH has some super sperm that can live for 2 weeks, I'm definitely not pregnant this cycle. Will be testing around 6 April when we will be on our belated honeymoon so fingers crossed!

Ooh kwick, that's great news. I'm so excited for you!!

I just saw the tiniest cutest little ball of feathers zooming about in my garden! It must be a fresh hatched little chaffinch of some kind because it flew up right near me and hopped about! I silently squeeeeed! 🐣🐦

Finished all of dh food for work now! Phew! And soup for tea is finished and ready! Going to let him have another half hour kip and then will wake him up with a coffee and my ovulating vagina! Really he should be able to smell me coming up the stairs! 😁

Omg, great uncle Bulgaria is such an awesome name.... But maybe for a parrot
😂😂😂😂
Let the ISW commence!

Kwick! This is amazing news!!!!! I'm really genuinely so excited for you.

I have the same issue sometimes kathrino - what I do is do a search on on something like "fun part"

Kwick that is great news!

So happy for you Harriet and glad you're feeling so well.

I see a line stardusty! Congrats!

Yay kwick!

Hope your not out peaches, ipatches and Kat.

I'm waving goodbye to AF but feeling very sorry for myself as still have a very fat face thanks to the oral surgeon

lol at Great Uncle Bulgaria Kwick!

Hi Kathrino, long time no see!

Hope you make a speedy recovery Feefs

Ni really sorry but my book really just concentrates on egg quality... will see what I can find in "Right time baby"...

AF is in the house. Sitting with hot water bottle and feeling pretty pissed off. Why does it have to hurt so bloody (lol) much as well as being so crushingly disappointing. Will read everyone's messages a bit later when I can be bothered (no offence meant to anyone). Well at least I'll be out for a christmas baby after all!

Yay kwick that's amazing news!

ipatches I'm in limbo land with you! I usually spot 2-4 days before af and today is now day 6 of spotting but no af. At least twice I've 'called it' and been certain she'd arrived. So annoying as I'm going out for my birthday tonight and want to drink if I'm not up duffed and if I don't drink everyone will think I am. And I'll probably just get af tomorrow

Ni sorry nothing in my other two books on luteal phase... sorry!

Sorry af got you kat

bluebird have a drink! I do not think it can impact embryo until well past 2WW.

kwick that is AMAZING news! Woohoooooo! 🎊🎉 ooh so exciting!
