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!

I went to SW today after about a 5 week absence - lost 4 lbs!!!
SW fine to continue during upduffedness - but midwife has to say how much.
I have finally made GP appointment... Receptionist as rude as ever. I know she is probably overworked and under paid but attitude so unnecessary

I think I've reached that stage in my life where everyone is having babies. None of my close friends or family yet but about everyone else I've ever known or worked with!! Gah!!! Still feeling pretty chill atm, but I'm sure if/when AF shows her face next week I'll have a proper pity party.

Boo on the grumpy receptionist Kwick, she should be skipping for joy! I know we al are for you.

No problem ctulhoo may the 4th be with you. I wonder how the OPK sticks can be so out for you? That's definitely a great learning. Good luck with the next appointments.

Sorry moose I've put you back on April

lovely at 32 I'm starting to feel that way too...

Knackered today, and feeling a bit blue, a bit grouchy grump which is usual for me at this stage of my cycle 😔 I have also had odd bowels though - either constipated or loose - which is the only thing giving me hope this month. Just want it to bloody happen now!

Well lovelyfishy did not actually tell Receptionist why I needed to see Dr...

Well done kwick

So fed up today girls. Just feel under a dark cloud. Really teary and short tempered and craving chocolate - all classic PMS

Awwww jem Nothing worse than feeling miserable and moody. Go grab yourself some chocolate and remember what we've learnt. AF symptoms are pregnancy symptoms so don't get too disheartened until she actually swans in and ruins the party....

Not wanting to add to your bad mood, Jem, but there isn't a 31st April!

(I am donating some of the Hotel Chocolat choccies I'm munching on the train home to you, to hopefully make you feel better)

Thank you girls
I've got leftover Easter egg which is doing the trick.
That comment about 31 days made me laugh out loud! I really am going to have to hand the reigns back to Kat soon this is hopeless!

Am going to cry it all out. Eat all the chocolate. And hopefully emerge from my fog tomorrow

Thanks for minding the list jem while kat has a well deserved break. I completely understand feeling disheartened to all who've been trying awhile now. I'm currently on my 14th cycle. some days are ok and I am still hopeful and others are really hard. I've had to come off Facebook for awhile as its a constant source of baby bombs, or just pics of people's kids. I've found it easier since coming away. Am feeling a bit sorry for myself as my best work friend is going on mat leave next week. It's a double whammy as she's having a baby (which is hard even though I'm happy for her) and I'm losing one of my best friends who I see every day. And throughout this process I really wanted to be on mat leave together but now even if get upduffed then she will be back to work as I go off.

Anyways, pity party over. Welcome to the newbies and jam that is such a gorgeous baby bean. Well done!!

Thanks Jem! Good job on that list
Sorry to hear you are struggling today Jem
It sucks

Bluebird yes, I was away from Facebook for a while
Some days are really hard. And you have been trying for a longer than me

Ahh @SuchaJem that's rubbish. And thanks for such a warm welcome.

Whatever you do don't beat yourself up for feeling down. It's officially one of those days. Tomorrow will definitely be better. Sleep well!

Wait... How do I tag someone? 😳 What a forum newby...

hank we just put names in bold with either side

I find it so hard to keep up with all the posts now I'm back at work!

Skip how much do you cycles vary by? I've had a 30, 24, 28,26 since coming off the pill and trying to figure out if that's normal.

I am due to do my first opk in the morning. Is it weird that I am excited?! Been very good at remembering to take my EPO so hoping that makes a difference this cycle.

Sorry to hear people are feeling down, hopefully some BFPS are on the horizon!

Big hug bluebird
Thanks ever and hank

You put a * either side of a word to make it bold :)

First opk is exciting twinky! I still excited POAS

Hi all, sorry I have been hiding since my first posts!

Congrats to those with BFPs.

Jem please could you put me on for April 24th although my cycle is all over the place since coming off the pill so not really sure that is right!

Kwick I don't know how you couldn't tell! I think I'd be dancing on my tippy toes grinning like a loon!!

True Jem...I felt so seriously fatigued this afternoon that I came home and did a pregnancy test and an opk! I don't pee on sticks much (and really pointless at cycle day8 when I ovulate around day 18!) but just felt like checking in with the hormones. Thought I was coming down with something I was so knackered, but then had dinner and felt fine! Ha! Typical me...I love my food!!

Ps good to see you crazycat!!

Hello crazycatlady you are back on the bus! 👍🏼

Ni you crack me up 😂 I'm like that with my food too, get quite grumpy if not fed regularly!

How is everyone today? I went back to stare at my opks this morning to reassure myself I did actually get a positive 🙄
