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

I'm cd12 and working on a 26-28 day cycle!

Thanks Cailler and Ever with the feedback about LH amd Agnus cast. It's a good point about leaving things alone til see the GP. I wonder if I booked in an apt would they do bloods for me at the least. Surely?!

Catching up on the other posts... But congrats Holly 🎉

Just a quick hello from sunny Boston! It's cold here and I'm a bit all over the place as we literally just got to our hotel. Going to have a shower, and go back to bed! Will be back for a proper catch up once I'm less knackered! 🇺🇸🎉😀😴💤💤💤

Yay snow dog.

Doreen and Hugh! Amazing

Bit annoyed at myself because of the border issue, but, nowt to be done about it now! 😀

Hello snow glad you got there safe and sound! ✈🎉🎊🍰

Haha Starky that video is brilliant!!

Ah I love the Downton cross-stitch!! I love Maggie Smith! She played it so well!...Can't believe it's over 😭 I don't see any issue with the border love...looks fab!

I've got all my crochet needles etc ready to go but haven't tried it yet! It's at the bottom of my long to do list.

Looking forward to the picture!

Eeeep! I replied this morning but I can't see it now????
Oh well!
Well done holly!
I can't remember what else I replied to now.
Oh awesome cakes from everyone yesterday!!

snow hello back at you stateside! Happy settling in

starky love love the dowager countess stitching skills!

confused oops I'm actually cd12 too.

Currently glaring at wee sticks - not a bloody peep at an egg yet 🙄

Hurrah!!!!! For kwick's egg!
I wish I had a lady who called me to tell me if my egg had been fertilised or not. That would deal with the 2ww perfectly. I will post a dialogue for anyone who is feeling like daydreaming:

"Ahem. Hi Kat, just to let you know, egg was released and is currently swimming in a spermy sea. Good timing, old girl!"

"Hi Kat, just an update, one of the sperm was really persistent and got into the egg. Hurrah. They are not floating in honeymoon gondola down the Fallopian river. Will keep you informed"

"Right.... So .... That aching you're feeling. Yeah that's right. Implantation baby!!!!! you got this!"

And kwick there is definitely too early to jump DH. I am currently CD2. That is too early.

Omg. Doreen.... Please meet Hugh.

(Lol stark I just scrolled up and saw your post a few hours ahead of me re: D&H. Soz. You are obv was more funny and on time than me) ... Still catching up on phone, hence many posts rather than on computer where you can write a long one and still read the rest)

Don't be a sausage kat 😁 I lol'd at the idea of doreen and Hugh in the honeymoon gondola!

Dh went to the gym, and then it will be time to go to my dps for tea, and then he's at work! So no have of dtd today! 😠 I'd have woken him up earlier if I knew he had plans to excersize! Imagine! He's off being healthy and I'm say here with my egg all bereft because it's got no welcoming committee! Bloody liberty! 😁

The cross stitch is awesome!!! I wouldn't have noticed he border unless you mentioned it! Great work starky

Stark I am sure you have got time for a quickie???

Would love to see some of your crochet at some point too!

Kat, out of context, that sounds like a great chat-up message to Starky! Brilliant!

Starky amazing cross stitch!!

Ahahahaha! lisa lol 😂 me and kat are having a clandestine affair! Ovaries before brovaries!

I doubt it though, he said he'll be back at 4, which in Dh land means half 4 at the earliest. I might be able to catch him before he gets in the shower, but them, he'll be sweaty and I'm all shiny and clean! 😁 I will if i can swing it! But I'm not holding out much hope!

Scones and Victoria Sponges. I have eaten far too much. How does 'mini' food fill you up so quickly?!

AF was due yesterday, tested again just now but it's another BFN. Wish AF would just hurry up now!!

Hi girls. No longer in limbo land. Af arrived in force so I can now join Kat on the April bus (5th of April).

Starky fab cross stitch! The border looks great so don't worry about that.

Rae those scones look incredible. I'm salivating!

Congrats holly and stardusty and a happy 1st Mother's Day.

Good luck everyone left on the March bus. Fx for you all.

Can anyone answer this one...AF arrived yesterday so entered that and bfn but FF is carrying me on Cd 30 etc rather than going back to cd1. Don't tell me FF is joining Ovia on her period or something. What's that all about?!

Loving the mini Victoria sponge idea Rae! I must give that a go!

At the airport waiting for flights so I can join my Mom for a week holiday. Haven't seen her since Christmas! 😀... I must post a pic of my M day card...you lot would enjoy it!... Hang on..

😜

Rae those scones and mini Victoria sponges look delicious!

Just had an almighty row with DH. I am really struggling to deal with he's anxiety at the moment, because it means he is not doing a thing around the house (he works from home, part time hours) whereas I'm working full time and also doing everything at home too.
I understand that he doesn't have the motivation and that he feels frustrated too, but is it selfish to think 'yes, but what about how I'm feeling?'
I do ask him to do things (not nagging), things like 'could you put a load of washing on today please' or 'would you run the hoover over downstairs today' so I'm not asking him to do loads and neither am I expecting that he just 'knows' what I want him to do. Eventually it all builds up and I just blew my top at him this afternoon, had a massive sob and now I feel guilty because I know he can't help it.

Anxiety sucks.
