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

In case you want to see the size of the needle!!!!!!

kwick that is bloody amazing!

Do you mind me asking how they physically get the embryo in there?? I am the queen of the stupid question, but I really have no idea

Yay!!! Good luck kwick!!

So according to my clearblue ovulation kits. I'm ovulating for the 3rd time in 41days!!! There's definitely something not quite right

Oh my goodness kwick that is so blimmin exciting!! I actually just got skin tingles reading your post! (Ooer)
Sounds very positive if your medical person (embry something!) said that. Argh we are all rooting for you!

Phahahahaha @ Kat!!! 'Maybe that's where I've been going wrong'

Kwick, that's so exciting! Congrats!

Fingers crossed for the next two weeks! I have everything crossed for you.

And OMG to that needle. You're a brave, brave woman. Very impressed!

Well done kwick!

And forgot to say thanks for the stat update kat

Really excited for you Kwick, hope you can keep the embryologist excited too!!

I've got everything crossed for you kwick

moggy that's ages! Is that normal to have to wait that long?

confused all questions welcome!!! So they put a speculum in with you having a full bladder, they do an abdominal scan, insert a catheter and then "inject" up the embryo - I saw it happen on the scan!!!!!!!!!!! All done in about 10 minutes, then you lie back for a further 10 or so then you can do a wee-wee!

sincerely I have read that some women have continued LH surges... sorry cold comfort but at least something is happening!

Welcome newbies and congrats bfps! I'm sure I've missed some.
So excited for you kwick

Feeling pms-y. Think arsehole fucknuts on her way....

kwick that's amazing news! Wow! Got all my fx for you!

moggy that does seem like ages! How would they manage to fitr you in for your 12 week scan at the hospital there was a backlog! Or do they do the referal to midwife at the 7 week phone call and then 10 weeks is booking in? Either way, that seems very late!

I have a question for those who use the cheap opk sticks. When do you test? Fmu?

Hep I use cheapies hiiiiiiiii I try and wait til about midday - was doing one a day now I'm cd13 I'm doing a few a day. Today I did three

Haven't done them before so getting a bit excited and don't want to miss surge! Or sarge haha

I've been testing morning and evening. Today I took four because I kept getting that lovely dark line! But it didn't show in fmu, only on the next three.

Wow Kwick, sounds both terrifying and exciting at the same time! Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks all :) End game is still the same but no point going nuts when there's really not a lot we can do! I'm currently booking a Disneyland Paris trip for my sisters birthday and a spa weekend for my mums birthday in July under the assumption I'll be empty and barren still and having a big girly cocktail night this Friday. No point putting life on hold! If I do get upduffed, I can alter plans slightly to make do!

Yes, I'm sure I read somewhere that you were meant to do it between 10 am and 8pm.....

I'm still getting negatives.... So think the first positive on the cd10 must have been it.

Just feeling low. Logically I know that I am learning my cycle and I will be better prepared for April bus. I am starting to hate this 2ww

kwick so excited for you!

I'm still in Limbo Land. AF was due Friday so today is 3 full days late. Still got cramps and back ache. BFN this morning, negative OPK too.

Hep I've tried to use them around midday (thankfully expected positives were on weekends last two months so no work peeing awkwardness!!)

Yay for Kwicks 8 cells!!! Stick, stick, stick!!!

Holidaying for a week with my Mom who lives in a different country so I rarely get to see her. Wanted to tell her we've been ttc and have a Gilmore Girls mom/daughter moment ...but she dumped all her crap on me (would you ever get off the pill messing up your system, if he won't marry you you should leave him before its too late, he's not willing to commit, your biological clock is ticking). There goes the bonding conversation I thought we'd have! Gonna say nothing now!

Bry according to le Google you can do lots to increase uterus lining to encourage implantation....increase iron, massage ovary area to increase blood flow, walk, yoga, generally exercise, green leafy veg, red meat, lots of hot drinks/food/hot water bottles, acupuncture, vitamin e, Raspberry leaf tea...!! Just popped an iron tablet I came across. Why not! #havelosttheplot

Hang in there. Hopefully limbo land won't last too much longer.

Haven't seen thread in ages how are we all. Life is ticking by here. DH birthday next week.
I burnt carrots tonight and my house now absolutely stinks!!! I can cook honest !!!

I was opking at mid afternoon, usually between 12-2 pm. hep don't use fmu because lh doesn't appear in the urine until the afternoon. What cd are you on now?

I came on at lunch time and I immediately hit a high, it never felt so good. I think I may actually be losing it!!

Did you come on rae?

Happy birthday moggy!!! im 6 months behind you!

Sorry to hear yours still in limbo ipatches

How do you cope with such a needle Kwik omg! Fingers crossed you've got a human starting off in there.

CD22. Positive opk on cd11.
No tests from cd12 to cd15. Negative from cd16.

OK, I'll test after work.
Bit confused because the clear blue ov test said you could use it in the morning. I assumed they would have same sensitivity.

Should add the positive was a fmu test
