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!

Sorry moose it's a couple of weeks off but will give me something to focus towards I suppose, I still cant/don't believe it. It's genuinely surreal!

We had a little discussion about maybe doing an early one, will bring it up again next week but I'm not sure tbh. I think I'd like one, and the place near us does them for £50. But I don't know if I'm being daft about it. If Dh said "book one" then I would, but probably not off my own back.

I think I'd have an early scan.

I'm enjoying my not-SP. but DH has gone all Mr Starky on me and is 100% convinced I am upduffed. He says "he knows". Lol. He's just having a SP of his own!

I didn't even know early ones existed until recently. I think I'd be too curious not to!!!

11dpo here, temp is on its way down... Cycle 6 looms ahead, and it's a Proper American One with Clomid and the full works I think. Just have to pick up the prescription once af is confirmed to be in the house. I'm really upset as I had bad cramps and headaches all 2ww and I thought I might have got lucky with a one shot wonder. I think my eggs are too decrepit. 😭😖😭

Hi Ladies, just spent an hour catching up on all the news - wow, that's quite the number of BFP's, making me feel all optimistic. Sorry I've been AWOL for a few weeks, been crazy busy with work.

So, just to stay at the same bus stop as all of you:
Cycle 5 for me
CD 12 today
Next AF due somewhere between 17th-19th April

Feint OPK lines for the past two days which is totally throwing me off, didn't get a positive until day 17 last month - no idea what's going on! I'm feeling all twingy and pringy so going to start my ISW this evening. It should have been yesterday but I overfed DH so he wasn't in a very giving mood

I've pulled together a little spreadsheet for myself and I'm feeling a little more in control now; I'm feeling quite zen about Cycle 5 ... think I'm going to delete Ovia though, she's absolutely doing my nut. Emailed me today asking me do I like avocado?? What's that got to do with getting upduffed?!!

Aww snow don't be so hard on yourself, you've had a stressful month - I'm not even sure I'd count it myself. With any luck the clomid will do the job, but you just keep your chin up xx

sorry snow
I think i am on the cusp of the 2ww, might try to convince OH for one more but he has a bad tooth that he has been complaining about for the last few days. Finally seen dentist. On the plus side he can't drink for the next 5 days ....

If no AF ni I will be cycle day 34 by Sunday so defo deserve a prize! I usually get AF cycle day 32 (slash then it's cycle day one but you know what I mean).

So excited about you starky! Eeek

I have never thought about an early scan

Definite Starky Star 🌟 on the way for you Feefs!

Cel we love a good spreadsheet! What does yours involve?? Ovia is such a floozy! She keeps telling me bits of Ivf info!! Fck off Ovia I'm not out yet!!!!

I'm exactly the same re temping give me an OPK anyday

Hello cel, enjoy your early isw :)

Sorry about that snow, you have had an awful lot on this cycle, I hope next cycle gives you more time to relax and focus on ttc.

A friend of mine paid for an early scan. I scoffed a bit at the time but actually now I can totally see why you would - and would definitely consider it myself too

I'm cd 8 on cycle 4 over here , trying epo for the first time. Have noticed a bit more cm than usual already, so hoping that continues for isw.

Going to try and follow smep again, which actually starts today - seems a bit crazy at day 8 . But if DH is keen then why not hey.

Is anyone holding back this month to avoid Christmas baby? I've thought about it a bit but it's not putting me off a bfp this month.

I did jem but then realised when I'm fertile it's hard not to go there, and we get married June '17 so I need to fit it in and have time to lose weight before that date!

My brother had an early scan, just for reassurance but it was like looking at a cashew nut. They even wrote "BABY" on it to avoid confusion.

I'm getting quite excited at the prospect of the next wave of bfps!

I thought about holding off re: Christmas baby but decided what the hell! My dad's a Christmas baby so at least it would be a family thing.

We were going to hold back re Christmas baby but it should be start to middle of December so decided to go for it. I think we might hold off in April though as I am a January baby and I HATE it!!

I don't think I could hold off on purpose. I want a baby, I don't care at what time of year!!! And what if you wait and then it's early and born at Xmas anyway?!

lol vix at the labelled baby!!

Hope everything works out for you next month snow

AF still staying away, even though every part of my body is screaming period pains and signs!!! Snowy white OPK though, so I think it's just my dodgy post pill cycle! Determined not to test till I'm actually late late thiugh

starky well done on get appointment with Dr. If you do decide to do an early scan... Mine is on 11th... Just saying

snowdog I am sure your eggs are not decrepit. Egg quality is important though - I took lots of supplements to boost mine.

Jesus I cannot stop eating at the moment! This is not good. I just cannot seem to get my head back into the losing weight frame of mind. I'm going to end up back to my heaviest if I carry on

Snow you've had a very stressful month, be kind to yourself. Hopefully the next cycle with clomid might do the trick!

I have a feeling ovulation isn't going to happen this month, temps are all over the place and now on day 5 of high fertility.

pug me too! The only saving grace I have is that I now exercise where before I didn't!

Kwik I hope you show us a scan pic!

kwick I never thought I'd want one. But now, I'm just like, dying to see a heartbeat flutter. It's so weird thinking hoping that a few cells are potentially about to just twitch, and that sets off whole domino effect which is a first heartbeat which could beat for the next however many years.

snow I'm sure your eggs are lovely! You've had a heck of a month! Be kind to yourself

Oh my god vix and pug I am the same!!! What is going on! Today wasn't too bad but on Monday I had like 5 meals? And I'm eating mostly real food not crap.

kat has Mr TinRoof sniffed any more clues out yet? What cd are you on?

feef vix pug I was ravenous too.... not helping just saying

No Mr TinRoof hasn't sniffed anything else. Not sure CD not even opening ovia. I think I can feel pre-AF beginning cramps tho. Or maybe it's wind. I think AF due Saturday. Ish.

(Seriously.... Do I get the biggest starky award this month? Hahaha)

You can have ALL the Starky's Star awards! 👑👑
