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!

kwick af is due in 8 days but I already had 4 or 5 days of light bleeding which started last Sunday, only a week after the end of my last period which would be way too early for implantation and too long for ov so I think I'm just messed up this month.

Phew! I was feeling a bit lost!
I will catch up on what I've missed later on as currently sitting on 17% batt and I think this app is the culprit.

I am Kat
Cycle 8?? I think. Not counting anymore
Did OPKs for a few cycles. Got stressed for a few cycles. Did not a thing last month. Now in my SP (but the opposite) and am quite relaxed about not being pregnant for a while.

I just checked ovia who is telling me I am CD20. I just noticed yesterday that my boobs don't hurt at all this month so thought I would let everyone know that for completeness. No idea if it means anything or not but as I am on my chill pills I'm not thinking about it.

I broke down an bought a couple of FRER last night from Amazon. I'm no longer feeling like this is my month, so hopefully this will make me less tempted to POAS! After AF arrives I'll do some more shopping for next month's supplies.

Glad to know it's possible Kwick and congratulations to you! I can't imagine how you felt when the mystical second line appeared on your test. I know I get excited enough when it happens on an OPK!

flash a quick tinternet search, apparently implantation bleeding can occur 6-12 days after ovulation. fx for you !

not to be gross but the "flow" should be different to af (comes and goes, no more than 3 days)
Have some apology

Thanks inspector
Kwick I hope you feel better. Fever is awful! I read a few stories on line about people feeling poorly after ivf for a bit, something about immune system but not to worry about.
Kat we would never leave you! Now I need to go to the old one and see your desperate posts
Lol Ni then we would need 13+3 and so on
Sorry Flash!

Bless kat! You were on the other thread you poor thing

Positive on FRER this AM!!! Was on my way out the door for work at 3:45am, so didn't get a great picture! There's a pink line!!! There's a little poppyseed sized baby in my belly!!!!!!!! Will either test again later today or tomorrow to send you all a picture!!!! Oh my God!

Lyssie show us a pic!!!! Need to see!!

Lyssie!! We want picture! Congratulations!
Wait ... What? You were leaving at 3:45 am? For work?

yey !!!!

Ooh, congratulations Lyssie!!

congrats Lyssie

Congratulations!!!!!!

Lyssie - congratulations

I'm late to this one but...
TTC#1 Cycle 4ish (not exactly sure)
CD 17ish (...not exactly sure!), had positive OPK on Sunday so guessing 5dpo. No symptoms. Desperately hopeful but not feeling it this month. Not really sure when AF is due but I think we were going with April 8 or 9.

confused
30, Ttc 1, cycle 5

Cd 4.

Im actually considering taking a mumsnet break, somehow it's making me feel quite left behind. Our grads list is incredible and I am happy for each and every one of them but I think it's making me feel more shitty about the whole thing.

Anyway my plan for this month is just carry on dtd as much as possible, opks, eating ad healthily as possible and trying to be less stressed.

And congrats lyssie xxxxxxxx

Confused - take a break if you need to, but you will get there, and have been a huge support to everyone on this thread. (Selfishly, you're only a couple of weeks ahead of me, so don't leave me behind!)

Congratulations Lyssie!

Is it just me, or are other people really happy when one of us gets pregnant but end up feeling really sorry for yourself when it's someone we know outside of here??

Congrats lyssie! Wonderful news.

Hugs confused take a break if you need to xx

ipatches "desperately hopeful" pretty much sums me up too. Fingers crossed for you xx

I'm channelling lilt, Bob Marley and life in the Maldives this month. I'm being so chilled I'm barely remembering my folic acid but hey ho.

I have no idea how many dpo I am, ovia says April 5th is when I'm due. You need that info Kat?

Confused I inboxed u xx

Ah yes my next test date is 22 April please kat. That feels aaaaaaaages away! :(

Jem - and fx for you. We want this so much.

Fishy - we know what each other on here are going through so it's easy to be delighted when someone who you know has worried, plotted, tested etc. gets their BFP - it's also very exciting . It's harder outside of here because you don't see the ups and downs and most of us aren't telling our "real life" friends about TTC. I'm delighted for my friends who have recently become pregnant or had a child but I'm also, silently of course, incredibly jealous. Since we haven't told them that we are TTC it's like having a big secret!

Way to go Lyssie!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

confused we will be here for you when you want to come back :)

From my side - I started TTC in June last year... every BFP has been a joy to hear about but also a shadow, a doubt that perhaps I would never get lucky. Being on this thread (sorry guys I am a bit of a thread junkie, so am on a number of other ones too) has really helped me - but I can understand that it can all get a bit much.

I won't retest till tomorrow a.m. But here is my snap from this morning! It was more visible in person, but my lovely husband took the trash out so I can't fish it out, haha!

Confused take a break if you need too . I might do the same maybe. It is a bit hard, I understand.
I particularly have struggled in the past with all the people up the duff on their first cycle. That ain't easy.

I have taken a break from temping and that is helping.
Also focussing on getting my driving license and other little projects to take some of the pressure from TTC Hugs
