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

Why did you feel like a dick? I am sure they are very becoming and I cannot wait to buy some! I am eyeing up a starter kit of clothes from Seraphine earlier

Just checking in to see how everyone's doing.

Pink, growing a 13+5 kiwi fruit.

Les, don't panic about being in maternity jeans already! I was really bloated in the first few weeks and was uncomfortable in pretty much all of my clothes. The bloating does go down though!

Stark the stats t-shirt idea is fabulous!

Les glad to hear it's all going well. You wear whatever you want to!!

New thread! (I'm late to everything!)

Congrats Bellini!

Kwick I was looking at the Seraphine starter kits too!

I agree les wear what you want!

les you make me laugh! Wear those maternity jeans with pride!

I think like I'm trying too hard to be a proper preggo. I know. My shit is weird.

These ones are JMB. They have an awful flower picture on the pocket. But just £29. I defo want to try the Seraphine.

I cannot wait to get me a bump band! They have multi buys in New Look too.....

Wow lots of Londoners on this thread, i bet some of you do know of eachother! Any other Northerners like me around? Eee By gum!

Boob poking today. Feel a bit sore post poke but not sure if that's just over enthusiasm.

Really need to get the hoover out but actually just mumsnetting!

I'm an adopted northerner. Originally from Berkshire, now based in Merseyside. Currently in scotland for the weekend.

Eeh By eck star I'm from up north too, whadya want from t'shop? Owt or nowt?

I have a definite feeling there are some ladies on here who, if we all met up would recognise each other. Love it! I'm another firm believer in the 6 degrees of separation.

feefs I'm another Scotland girl (waving hi) haha I'm in Glasgow. I'm a real city girl but I love that I'm a short drive or a few train stops from the wonderful countryside. Especially on a beautiful sunny (but cold) day like today. X

vixarooni yes hopefully we don't have to wait too long for out little pink lines on a stick. X

Hi to all the grads, glad to hear your all doing great. Hopefully we will be jumping buses to join in shortly x

As oreet for shoppin ta starky lass

Another adopted northerner here, originally from the south west but the North's home now!

Kat thanks for my limo ride It even makes AF a bit more tolerable fucking not
I haven't run for months. It is always too dark or too cold or both I hate winter and the weight is piling up

I am not looking at maternity clothes or baby stuff because I don't know if this will happen for us, so I rather not make any plans

Cthulhoo, 39 (for another two months)
Cycle : I dunno, 10?
On cycle day 6

This month's strategy will be to assume that ovulation takes place on day 10 with a regular 14 day luteal phase, rather than assuming (as I've done now, based on opk sticks) that I ovulate later and have a short post-luteal phase.

The other part of my strategy will be waiting and hoping for the referral to go through soon.

peaches I have the same fear! I would be so if I recognised anyone, but it would be lovely to meet you all one day :)

We'd have to organise a meet via pm's though as this is a public forum & lots of nutters out there yes I watch too much NCIS

I'm in the South East btw and frequently travel into London. I try to hide my screen when on mumsnet out in public again, too much NCIS

So dtd strategy is dtd O-6, O-4, O-2, O-1, O, O+1

Getting ready for ISW.....

I think we're not too far away from each other peaches!

Sounds like a good plan zazzles!

I'm in a bad mood today and very stressed about the fact that I'm in a bad mood in case it's AF I think I've lost the plot after yesterday's baby bomb

I am watching Call the Midwife... fingers crossed it is not quite as traumatic as last week!

Ever I try not to look at maternity or baby stuff... but sometimes I can just not help myself!!!!

I am sure it will happen for you! I saw an Oprah video today all about the power of "I am" - for example:
I am growing lots of lovely follicles
I am going to have lots of follicles for egg collection
I am going to have lots of lovely embryos
I am going to get pregnant soon
I am going to be glowing and healthy in pregnancy

I'm a south easter! waves to the broadstairs beach hut owner! I moved to Lancashire a few years back, but came back last year. We bought our house from Ken Morley who was in corrie, so we have defo ticked the northern card off!

I have never been to Broadstairs but it sounds lovely :) Count me in!

Hello ttc'ers, just popping in to place mark.

Runner, 34, currently harbouring a 15+1 troll doll called Potato and a rather inconvenient 10cm fibroid and feeling very jealous of everyone who can eat and drink whatever they like!

Oh, and just a reminder, the grads can be found her http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2577485-Thread-3-TTC-1-Grads-thread-No-TMI-is-too-much-no-question-too-stupid?watched=1 and we're all looking forward to seeing every one of you soon

P.S. Kat I stole your idea and now the grads have a due date list... It's a bit scary
