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

Thats great news kwick ! fx for the other egg too....

sorry the bitch got you Kat

Sorry kat

Zazzles thanks for LH thread suggestion-hadnt thought of that!!

Stark, there seems to be lots that can help irregularity so fingers crossed it helps you out too!

Elle Jem I'm the same...intrigued by mooncups but never brave enough to try them!

Aw thanks for looking Kwick-I haven't had a look at any of those books yet...just everything accessible via tinternet! Fantastic news about egg number 1!!! 😀

Catching up on Call The Midwife... Think I may be coming down with OHs flu...fancy a few hours kip!

Congrats Kwick! So pleased, fx the other egg also fertilises.

Yes, I was also on the original thread too.

So baby shower is tonight and I'm all prepped for it. Can't wait to see my friend's face when she walks in, her husband is going to help me set it all up.
Here is a pic of the cake.

I know it's not the most professional looking cake, but it's the first time I've ever made a cake like this. And considering I did this after working 9 days in a row I'm pretty proud of my effort.

Kwick - fabulous news.

Sorry to hear that I'm not the only one in Limbo Land. Still no AF. Still cramping. Might have to take some painkillers. Still pissed off. Been scrutinizing my IC from this morning but it's a BFN - and I knew that before I even peed on it so why the hell did I pee on it?

Also my camera skills are rubbish, it looks a bit better in real life!

Pug that is a beautiful cake, FAR better than anything I could make and looks like it was made with a ton of love.

Pug that is an amazing cake! You should apply for the Great British Bake Off immediately! What a friend you are - so lovely :)

That cake looks amazing pug! You're friend is going to love it. Have a great time at the shower!

The cake looks great Pug! What flavour is it inside?

Wow Pug that's amazing! I've never done a two tier cake. I would love to taste a slice of that!!

pug you are an ace mate! That cake is amazeballs!

This sounds awful but I'm really glad it's not just me from the original thread!

Yay! Congrats Stardusty!!

Pug epic cake!!

kwick so when will egg be out back in momma?? And what happens after? I remember you saying you could take a pg test in 6 days.

pug how lovely and thoughtful of you! You're talented, I can't even make fairy cakes.

starky is your surname wolf? I remember a conversation a while back and think I assumed it was. If so, you're lucky as hell because any name you choose will be insanely cool

Miley embryo may be back as soon as Monday with moi!!!!!! Then I have a 16 day wait before I can test - all the while taking lots of medication: intra-muscular progesterone (Lentogest) injection every 2 days, progesterone (Crinone) fanjo gel twice a day; progesterone (Clexane) sub-cutaneous injection daily, tablet of oestrogen (Progynova) 3 times a day (which I bloody forgot to start this am!!) and aspirin 75mg daily - if I get upduffed some of this will continue for 10-12 weeks or so!
I am advised to not test early as the ovulation trigger injection I gave myself has HCG in it and can give you a false positive.

How are you feeling?

miley it is! I was joking with dh a few weeks ago that if we ever get pregnant and people ask about names then we absolutely have to say "well, Virgina for a girl and Winston for a boy" haha thanks, I worry it could go the other way and be a bit cowboys and Indians if we're not careful!

Dh will occasionally say "little pig, little pig, let me come in" when he bringa me a cup of tea and Im supposed to say "not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin" because of my beard situation. Usually its funny, But sometimes I just punch him in the kidney because im hormonal and in no mood for his humour! I write that and think, we sound like 9 year old!

what a cool surname starky - any first name will be cool with that!

'Because of my beard situation' 😂😂 starky you certainly cheer me up. It's a cool surname, mines 3 letters and swedish so I'm glad OH has a relatively common name so my children don't have the arduous task of pretending to laugh every time someone makes a funny about their name.

kwick mannn that is brutal! I admire your dedication and am so hopeful for you I might actually have to get a train down to you and give you the biggest fucking hi 5 when you get your bfp. I'm feeling shitty, thanks for asking! No change really, but I have no place complaining when I compare it to what you're going through.

miley that sounds cool! Swedish surname is ace! Before I got married I had a fairly common surname, but I still forget my name now, even nearly a year on! My goatee just sprouts up when I'm not expecting it! I have to prune it regularly otherwise we'll have to join the circus as the bearded lady/strong man combo! #CareerOptions
Are you still spewing or has it settled slightly?

kwick you are a trouper, I'm in awe of you and your dedication! Got my fx for your little egg! It WILL be a winner!

Errrr pug that cake is amazing!! Your lucky friend, she will love it.

starky love the skiing egg with its adoring sperm! Going to try this as a visualisation technique over next few days.

Thanks Elle!

Amazing cake pug!

I can't remember if I was in the original thread or not?

Starky that beard joke made me roar with laughter! Hope I haven't burst my stitches! I think silliness is the essence of a good marriage

pug I have been inspired to bake by your epic cake. DM is officially having afternoon tea tomorrow (as long as I don't balls up the mini Victoria Sponges and DH doesn't get ill from my 'test' scones)....

I do like an unusual surname! Hah bless you and your chin hair! Fwiw I've never grown body hair at a higher rate in my life now I'm preggo. I'm like a little werewolf and I refuse to shave every day.

I'm still spewing unfortunately, just projectiled out of my nostrils about 10 mins ago (which stings like an absolute bitch) but it's less than what it was and I'm managing to eat little and often now.

rae that sounds lovely! I'm sure she'll love it

Can someone have a read and try help me please lol www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2585723-8po-bfn?msgid=59679264#59679264
