Thread : Lucky Number 13 take 2. TTC#1 The one where AF can kiss our arse!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Hugh enjoys ISW and his love affair with Doreen. He watches out for skittle tits and weepyitis. Mrs Arseholey Fucknut (Af) shows up when you least want her but brings wine and soft cheese as a consolation prize.

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 you're pregnant in the tww That is paramount!

We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts. We want a fanny full of determined Doreen, not unicorn farts and gnome tears with extra sparkle. We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I am resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star

When you post stats, add your predicted test/af date. We are currently running at about 49% pregnant with the grads thread over in ante-natal which we all hope to join soon.

WE SHALL WIN IN THE GAME OF SPERM MEETS EGG! IT WILL HAPPEN!

jem I ovulated early at cd11 last month. I if you start your first (and hopefully last ) month at cd9 you should be fine.

I started testing at cd10 this month. But i strongly suspect that i have ovulated without the opks picking it up (still negative at cd16). I am not very good at the whole not drinking/peeing for 4 hours or whatever some of them recommend.

Yea fishy you are going to need that descaler. We just don't talk about what we do with it on here....

hep my opk's never did much u til cd 17-18. I was as late as cd 20 on a 33 day cycle.

ever ill pop a link up when I've added the next blog post. 😊 the ic's I had from amazon were ok, but they're not as sensitive as they claim by half. And it all depends in your hcg levels I think too.

I'm so tired today. Bloody Dh woke me up about 3 times just being loud, I got up at 6 and went I to the spare room because he was farting so badly it woke me up and knocked me sideways! He thinks he can eat spicy curry...He can not!

LaraG I hope that's some kind of premonition! I would love to get mine.

Sat cuddling a very cute baby at the moment whilst he's mum has a well earned sleep. Helped her with breastfeeding today, feels like a bus man's holiday for me lol. Mind you I don't actually get to really cuddle babies that much at work.
My god, my maternal instincts are kicking in majorly.

It must be the best and the worst with your job Pug. I used to work in the medical field and I do miss it.

Ha fishy Amazon are cheeky gits! Oust indeed!

AF due tomorrow here. Symptomless and grumpy and want chocolate so not holding out any hope! Would have had to have been a pretty determined swimmer too as we only DTD 4 days before ov.

My OPK's appear to get darker over days 12 onwards with an absolutely obvious glaringly positive one on 14-15. I was only doing one a day mid afternoon, tea time.

lovelyfishy that is hilarious but I may be the culprit - as I bought Oust and OPKs.

I usually started with OPK around day 10.
BTW I have a stash - if you would like me to send them to you just PM me.

No symptoms has often been a good sign on this thread moose - fx for you. When do you think you might test?

moose yep, remember I was 99% sure I was out and that af was mere moments away! I'd thrown in the towel and had a hissy fit and a bottle of wine ready in the fridge! Don't despair!

I'd try to hold out till Saturday I think - just because I'm still not 100% sure what my cycle is.... OPK's are whiter than white though!!! Ha ha I hate the thought of a BFN with a proper test so I think I'd like to hang on as long as I can for AF if you see what I mean? I'm pretty certain I'm out though.... Only DTD that one time until the other night - less than before we were TTC! Ha ha It was down to illness though....

Aargh don't give me false hope, I'm trying to remain passively unbothered and calm!!! (Yeah right!!!) ha ha

Am at the bingo tonight so that'll take my mind off impending AF. Fingers crossed for a big win!!! Ha ha

Evening all. Hope everyone is well. I'm on hols this week, extending the Easter break. After spotting for pretty much the whole of the 2ww I think I'm first proper day of af today so I'm out, despite not being due on for another 3 days but still, onwards and upwards. Hopefully everyone has lots of chocolate from Easter to keep them unstressed!

Sorry flashinthepan

starky have you done any POAS recently? I may have done another test a moment ago just for reassurance

kwick I haven't done one since Saturday. ..but I'm probably going to nip and get one more before I phone the doctors! Still freaked out! I read can't get past it yet! How are you doing?

starky please go and see your Dr. I guess I am lucky as the clinic is all over me!!!! One of the lovely nurses told me categorically last week that I was definitely preggers and that there was no way to mimic the levels of HCG that came through in my blood test. I found this very reassuring... what has got me worried is the fact that I still do not seem to be producing the right levels of progesterone naturally - hence all the injections, pessaries and fanjo gels. Hopefully my blood test on Friday will bring good news.

kwick sounds like you've had a right old time of it, wishing you happy and healthy 38 weeks (ish) ahead though pal xx

Stark I would ring your gp asap so you can get your midwife booking in appt booked for the appropriate time, especially as the midwife is likely to be busy and booked up for a week or two ahead.

Am hoping that the cuddles and cooing over my friends cute baby will encourage my ovaries to produce a nice mature egg very soon! Day 4 of high fertility today (cd13), hoping to get a peak in the next couple of days!

Thanks kat and starky the first batch I got were 1 step with that R registered brand symbol. The second one was a 1 step copy I hope this batch is good

Ugh just wrote a long post and then deleted!

Anyway upshot will wait till Sunday to test ni and Kat unless AF gets me first.

Nooooo feefs that has happened to me before, so annoying!

Hi gang!

I found opks don't really work for me at all. I never seem to get a line, unless I test before my period and then I get one and think I'm preggo so not doing that again!

I'm cd25, felt things in my head as usual!

I bought oh a book for his birthday called commando dad, I thought it looked really cool!

bryony jeez, ovulation pain resulting in the appendix out, you must be made of Stern stuff!!

Sorry about the AF flash

Glad to hear it Feefs! FF backtracked on my ovulation date today (said it was Cd 18 before when my temp clearly rose cd20!). We're in agreement now! So I'm 7dpo today not 9. But it still says test on Monday (I'm being a rebel and doing the day before on CD30)
Can anyone answer this wondering of the Ni mind ... My temps this luteal phase are the lowest they've ever been... Hovering above and below coverline. I know I ovulated from right ovary this month whereas usually it's left. Would different ovaries/corpus lutem produce different levels of progesterone?... Or it could be that my estrogen level is higher this month...other than taking iron tablets I haven't done anything different this month!

Sorry ni Don't temp, it all sounds waaaay too confusing!

vix that book looks great. Although I now have 5 baby books in my Amazon basket after clicking through various other books while I looked at that!!
No AF here, she's playing mind games as restless legs and back pain indicate her arrival yet she's not there!!! This TTC is a complete mind f#%k!

moose I had restless legs and back ache sorry I'm not helping at all.

I really don't understand temping, it's too mathematical for me, opking I can do "wee on this end" I'm good at that!

Phoned the doctors, got my appointment, now to just sit and wait. I thought the tww was bad, this is worse.

starky you are definitely not helping!!

How long till your appointment?? Are you considering a private early scan?? Think I'd be tempted to!
