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

pug let me know if you need any assistance with tasting your creations? I excel at that type of work....

ever great drawing - thanks.... I think I avoided that area and am taking the fact I am still alive that the injection was okay... Next butt one tomorrow.

confused hope you are jumping DH right this minute!!!

Congratulations holly

Good work on the egg kwick

starky I wonder if your DH will be able to smell when you're pregnant? It might be your first sign!

Just been baby bombed by a friend who's been with her bf for 5 months. Trying not to be jealous but just pleased.

P.S. I'm firmly on this month's bus!

Next Mother's Day we will all be pregnant or with a baby! Fx

I am sooooooooooo pleased that I tried to meditate earlier today and so had my phone with me (I am still in bed) as the embryologist called. It seems the egg is dividing nicely and in her words it is looking strong!! Most likely I will have the embryo transfer tomorrow afternoon!!! She asked me about asssited hatching - so apparently as I am a lady of advanced years the outside of the egg maybe a bit hard which can impeed implanatation but they can do something called assisted hatching which will help the egg implant - I said yes :)
The other egg has yet to fertilise but still might.
So so so exciting! It is like the nest news ever!

Lol kwick I'm not... Is it not too early if it's negative??

• best not nest.... I have eggs on the brain!

Kwick, you could be pregnant tomorrow! Omg!

OMG!

confused it is never too early to jump your DH... Do I need to explain the luck you have on having it on tap as it were? Magic potion can live for up to 5 days and you may ovulate any time now right?

I'm hoping my afternoon opk will be a positive, then we can dtd tonight and tomorrow before he leaves and then hopefully I'm covered... What bad timing for him to go away!

Fx for you tomorrow kwick!!!!

cat not positive yet. The control needs to be as dark/darker when it's positive, this is when you're having your surge, egg can be released 12-36 hours after the surge. So fear not! Get as much up there waiting as you can, and then even if your Dh is away for your positive, but back the day after, you will still probably catch your egg!

kwick I will do my absolute bestest to keep you chuckling while you implant! I am so excited for you! And extra prayers are being said!

And thus, in the spirit of making you laugh. ..

Congratulations Kwick, that's brilliant news!

Rosie news like that is always hard isn't it? Of course you're thrilled for them but there's always that little part of you that wishes desperately it was you!

That seems a bit harsh of your friend Rae, maybe try casually bringing it up? As in saying something like "Oh, I've missed you" or "Feels like we haven't hung out in ages!". Sometimes friends get so excited about new stuff they need a bit of a prod to remember eveything else!

Congratulations holly! Happy Mother's Day all.

I'm also motherless pyxie and it's always a strange day. I do have a lovely stepmother and lovely mother in law tho.

I would let your friend know she upset you rae that is so not on.

Very excited for you kwick!

Haha Ever you're welcome for tea any time!

Thanks for the advice about my friend all- I'll see how it goes. I just don't have the energy to deal with it at the moment so I think I'll back off.

Confused not all lost. Sperm can survived 5 days and the surge can appeared 12 to 36hours prior to ovulation so dont stress!

Congratulations holly! I bet that was a long 3 minutes to wait :)

rae it's very hard to deal with when you've been there for them and they don't show the same level of consideration back. With new rellies sometimes that's all people can see. I hope she comes round and realises she's been a bit of a rubbish mate and makes it up to you.

ever lovely bum pic. I feel like I'm learning so much from this forum.

confused looks like it's getting there. I'm in the same boat as you love - my DH goes to Miami tomorrow and isn't back until Wednesday. Ovulation will likely be Tuesday for me I think. I'm so worried and upset about it too but reminding myself that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days. Plus the eggo likes to have sperm already there and awaiting her arrival 👸🏼 get as much DTD as poss before he goes.

Sperm just autocorrected to Doreen on my iPhone! Er hello Doreen.

Love to those missing their mums today. And cheers indeed to us celebrating our first mothers days next year xx

Are we cycle twins jem?

Doreen and Hugh, a match made in heaven vagina

I'm going to have one more go of dtd today, just to cover my bases. Just finishing my dms Downton themed cross stitch mothers day present!

Much love to all of us on mothers day. Fx this time next year we'll all be Mammys!

so that is where love length comes from... thanks starky!

I'm cd 13 confused, what are you?

Yes starky! If Doreen and Hugh could just sort out their differences we could really get somewhere 😂

Just nipped back to the last kat stats - looks like confused, elle, lauren and me are cycle twins
lauren are you still around? [waves]

Ooh starky I'm a cross stitch fab myself. Post a picture once you've finished!!

It's a bit shit tbh rosie I'm currently really disappointed with it. I only started it last night and I had a really small piece of aida which doesn't fir the frame properly so in trying to make it fit, I've had to nix a corner piece. Ive got her flowers and a bottle of champagne so the cross stitch is more of a consolation prize if anything! I'll pop a picture up shortly. I'm better at crochet

Anyone ovulating this weekend? adds that to sentences I never thought I'd say 😁

I used to love doing cross stitch... but do not seem to have the patience anymore...

Looking forward to the piccy starky

Congrats Holly, what fab news!! And great news too kwick, I'll be keeping everything crossed that it all goes smoothly tomorrow.
