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 I've been a bit quiet been super busy! Definitely feeling more relaxed this month but not convinced this is my month.

Poor kat getting left behind? How are you? I also have no sore boobs?

Woooooo Lyssie!
Congratulations imp!

Oh my god ever! You're timeline is perfect!!!I'm currently cycle 4 baby making vacation!

Happy Easter! I'm super narky today worried it's PMS

Oh, the excess earwax is just another lovely symptom. Being pregnant is incredibly glamorous!

Ha ha ha jam jar! Sorry but that's hilarious

Just did a sneaky mid afternoon ic and was rewarded with a stark white bfn. Ugh. I know it's too early but I really feel crappy so I thought I might get lucky. 😖 Oh well.

Kat those threads sound amazing gimme a link if you find one. I might go check the baby names one soon, they can get quite heated
I might just propose a pretend baby name there and wait for responses

Feefs enjoy the vacation and good luck!!!!!
Sorry snow

Some hope for those of us in our mud thirties and plus

Very interesting aricle evergreen thanks for sharing :)

Having a very successful FW so far, but can I just bloody ovulate already ??!?

Is it wrong that I am looking forward to a night off tonight ?

Fab article Ever! Thanks for posting and breathe

Advice please! So I thought I was 3dpo based on temp rise, but FF has now told me I'm 5dpo...anyone have any ideas why when temp looks like this? Past two cycles FF has said I ovulated either on the dip, or on the big rise after the dip. We did dtd around the time so it doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious to understand it!

Hep very normal when you see as much of Doreen as we do! Enjoy your well earned rest!

This is the only thread I go on!

I'd agree that you're 3 days past, maybe it's not smart enough to recognise it properly?

You are welcome kwick
I meant mid thirties or plus but mud thirties might be more appropriate
A night off dtd hep? Not at all!!
Ni I dont trust FF to date my ov day. I use Kindara

That's what I reckon too Vix! Weird. Thanks for the suggestion Ever...ttc app number 4 here we come!

Just planning summer holiday with OH who wasn't showing much interest in a sun holiday:
Me: So what kind of holiday do you like?!
OH: I like football
OMG I nearly wet myself laughing! What have I ended up with?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ni you have my sympathies... You see I get to choose to do exactly what I want that fits my budget for a holiday... Actually it not looking at all good for this year due to an imminent merger at work, I am holding off booking anything.

I had another God awful night.... Who knew I could have so many different nightmares?
And to top it off the lovely terrace planting my mum did a few weeks ago is looking bedraggled due to the gale blowing outside... I am going to have to brave the elements to see if I can salvage any of the plants. If it is not the squirrels, its the bloody wind!!!!!!!!!

Ni that is too funny bless them. I woke this morning feeling quite philosophical then I look at OH and he has somehow managed to wear his pants inside out again
So I keep my "at what age do you think human really learn what is right and wrong?" Question to myself

Humans. Not human. The lot of us

Morning all. Just checking in. Mixed bag here this weekend - feeling better and had some good quality time with DH, but also feeling like we haven't been lucky this cycle. CD20, 8dpo and no symptoms. Perhaps because I ovulated so early? I don't know. Just feeling rubbish about the whole thing TBH.

Ever - that is deep for a Monday morning. Doesn't it change throughout our lives anyway? I think I become more conscious of the effects my actions have as I get older.

Morning

EPO chat please. I'm trying for first time this month and my period stopped early - only had it 3 days.

This suits me but wondered if anyone else noticed this?

Am taking 1 capsule a day - 1000mg I think. Is that enough?

Morning ladies, just catching up and of course checking for BFPs! Seems our pre-easter rush is abating though. I have no news to report myself, as usual, but sympathise with snow, confused, ever, kathrino and ipatches. Guys, we've been here since the earlier days of the thread (I've been here since December) and we've cheerfully waved off heaps of grads and we''ve all thought 'when is it going to be my turn?'. I think we feel like we are getting left behind, but there were a bunch of people who were really new here, and we didn't really know their stories - they may have been off BC for ages - or never on it. Lets not get distracted or discouraged because of them - and that's not to say newbies aren't welcome on this thread, of course they are. We've also had whole months where we know we missed FW, either through illness or bad timing or not knowing - so they almost don't even count. Don't beat yourself up about this - we are all in this together, we are all here for the same reason. Sorry for rambling, I don't really know where I'm going with this. Love you all, basically. Thats what I'm trying to say. x

Evergreen after 46 days with no sugar, I ate 2 chocolate hobnobs and 5 mini chocolate baketray things. I have not learned right from wrong yet.

Such that happened to me with the EPO this cycle too. I think it's probably best to start it when AF ends...I reckon that's what I'll do next month. I took 1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening (cos the first couple of days I took 3000 in one go and got headaches and cramping as it causes the uterus to contract slightly) I wanted to take the higher dose so spreading it across the day worked perfectly. No more headaches!... Just shows how powerful it is that I could feel the response from 3000 though!

Well said Fx 👍

Starky how are you doing? The thread is so quiet without you! We miss you!

Such I had that too. Super short period. I was taking 1500mg once a day. Off it now till AF is due on Friday

Don't think I'll take epo again. Haven't noticed any ewcm this month and last.

My period is only three days with spotting on the forth, but this time it was more 2 days with a bit more spotting on the third! That was taking epo, so who knows!
