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!

starky I love the new blog post
Have you tried putting shoes in the freezer - it kills off bacteria and ergo the smell.

Sorry Jem, make sure you hit the pub bank holiday style at least.

I'm exactly the same Bluebird! I was the same school year as Rory so totally identified and now I'm only a year younger than Lorelei. How time flies...! So excited for brand new episodes later this year (hence rewatching)

Hello ladies, mind if I join you?

I'm May
34
This is cycle 3
And I'm on CD20

I was diagnosed with PCOS years and years ago, and an internal scan (ouch!) showed my left ovary isn't a viable egg producer (double ouch!) as it's almost completely enveloped with cysts. I don't believe I ovulate every month, and this is the most likely cause!

I ovulated early this month, on CD11 or CD12, so am desperately trying not to symptom spot in this TWW. I've tested and had a BFN this morning, but when I've checked my test wasn't very sensitive at 20miU/ml.. Not sure I want to waste too many money on this new hobby though! Any suggestions for cheap, reliable tests?? AF isn't due until around the 1st, so I've got lots of time to waste money peeing on sticks

Thanks Ni I have stopped tempting and this has helped reduce the TTC anxiety a lot
Snow one of my best friends is moving to Boston. I might have to visit Massachusetts again soon. I love it there.
Thanks starky you are pretty awesome too
Inspector what dose of AC are you taking? And where did you buy it?

Welcome May!

Hi May

Ever I ordered the tablets from Amazon. They're produced by Lindens. The pack was 100 x 1000mg and I've been taking two a day. I've also been taking one maca root tablet a day.

I am naturally very sceptical about it, but who knows? The anecdotal evidence seems to be pretty strong...

Jem!!! I really hope this is your month!!!!! I am holding out to test tomorrow, which will be 15dpo according to Clue. We can be test buddies! Still no AF! My breasts finally started hurting this morning, so intensely bad, and I keep getting a weird mildly painful pulsing feeling on my left side in pelvis.

Hello may

Thanks lyssie we will give it another good go thus month for sure. Sore boobs is totally on track for a bfp - really hope you get yours tomorrow

Happy Easter weekend all xx

Jem I am so sorry :( I'm such a meanie for not having read all the posts the other way around. -hugs-

Thanks inspector! Are you taking them to lengthen your luteal phase? That could be my problem. I have an 11 days luteal phase, the rest is all normal I think.
But I think lots of people get upduffed with shorter luteal phase so maybe I don't have to worry about that.

I have now been in bed for a whole week but finally my illness seems to be almost over

Ever I ordered them to try to kick start my cycle and get my first AF since coming off the pill. No idea whether or not I ovulated this month so it wasn't about my luteal phase as such.

11 days sounds okay though - from the very little I know about it!

Welcome may
I too have PCOS and only one ovary, I got my BFP this week - albeit after major intervention (IVF) but just saying as it possible! Hope you get your BFP soon... Would recommend FRER tests (and no I don't have shares in the company yet!)

Ladies I am ill 😥 horrid lurgy is out in full force: temperature, snottage, sore throat. Slept badly again!!!! Feeling very sorry for myself...

kwick I feel your pain. Both DP and I have been laid up with the most awful colds over the last couple of weeks. Worst ones we've ever had. There's some Tucky ones around at the moment. Snuggle in bed with lots of fluids and some crappy TV or books/mag and hopefully it'll soon pass. X

Hi may
For cheap tests, the best place is evil-amazon, you can find the strips.

Is this he new thread??? No one told me and i was looking on the old one and panicking that everyone had left or my phone was wrong or something happened and was all for the entire day yesterday

Welcome May!

Sorry to hear you're out Jem. Hope you have some nice weekend plans to see you through AF misery.

Upstairs neighbours did not get the memo that it's a bank holiday... Hammering around since 7am 😣.

Temp suggests eggo has been released! (day 20 this month! Pretty late!) OH had to work today...will have to wait patiently for his return before we can give it one last go! Dtd Sat, Mon, Wed and used pre-seed so hopefully a swimmer will meet the egg! Speaking of eggs....breakfast time!! 🍳

Happy bank holiday to those who can enjoy it!! Commiserations to those who have to work!

Did the other one break?? Why are we having another thread 13?

Aw Kat there you are!! Were you posting on the old thread? What did we miss from Katworld?

Because it wasn't lucky 13 for all of us...so we're getting a second go at it!

Morning ladies. So, I am a freak as I think it's Halloween in my house and the witch has just arrived....8 days early! If it's not that, I don't know what is happening to my body. I have never had so much mid cycle bleeding before, or such a short cycle. I'm paranoid that there's something wrong with me since this has all happened the first month of TTC and never before. But anyway, looking forward to some bfps from you, even if I'll be waiting a while longer for mine.

No worries lyssie easily done x

kat! Sorry you got left behind. Starky kindly started a new thread for us. How are you?

kat sorry you were sad... Welcome back! We cannot survive without you!

flash I do not want to add to cray-cray but any chance it is implantation bleeding? When is af actually due?

I was mainly posting things like "hello??? Where is everyone?????"

Hi Inspector I was the same, my first cycle was 39days, then 31, then 30. I think my body is still regulating 4 months after coming off pill as I still only get a tiny bit of EWCM around OV time. I think if my body was ready it would get upduffed, but for the moment its still sorting itself out. I didn't take AC, EPO or anything else as I wanted to wait until I was really sure I was irregular, so I am interested to see how you get on with it! x
