TTC #1 Thread 14. Shroedingering Like Champions! (It's an art form and a skill!)

[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! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

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. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

WE SHALL WIN IN THE GAME OF SPERM MEETS EGG! IT WILL HAPPEN!

Kwick - I'm so sorry for your pain. Take that time you need for yourself.
(I missed you too )

My own PMA is suffering today. CD21 and I want some symptoms. Haven't got any.

I can't remember if I've already said it but congratulations mayago!

Kwick lovely to see you on here. I'm glad you have some time off work. You are an inspiration with your pma, even after all you've been through.

Well I'm 99.9% certain that AF is going to arrive either tomorrow or Thursday. Increasing amounts of brown discharge that I get a few days leading up to it, except I've had this for about a week now. Starting to feel crampy and sore boobs have disappeared.

Not sure whether or not to be concerned by the brown gunk I get every month, tends to start around 10-11dpo until AF arrives.

kwick good to hear from you

Posted too soon! Good to hear from you and be kind to yourself, it's ok to feel however you feel Pma or not.

Hello snow good news on the Yorkshire tea and even better news on the Clomid + swimmer news.

skylucy I find boobs are one of the most misleading things for me. I get sore boobs EVERY month before AF. Since ttc I've got excited when they are a) sore earlier than usual, b) not sore at all and c) had shooting type boob pain. Basically they cannot be trusted

mayago seeing it in writing eeee glad to hear all going well

Hello starky Awwww at mrstark bless his clumsy efforts!

Hello ktt welcome to the wonderful world of ttc turmoil. Yes that does sound like EWCM. Almost all pregnant symptoms can be PMS. It's a nightmare! Try not to drive yourself too nuts - not easy I know

Lovely to see you kwick yes indeed to your pmas - you've done it once and I hope it happens again quickly for you.

I had the brown discharge before AF this month too pug there's part of me that wondered whether it could be related to having a chemical? I've never had a bfp but also haven't had this kind of cm pre AF before ttc?

Good to hear from you Kwick. Bloody miserable to get an allergic reaction too! Join us in our health kick this month -if I'm not gonna fall upduffed at the wink of OHs eye (!!) I can at least be getting my body in gear (says the woman who ate chocolate yesterday and today....I was travelling at the weekend though so rather sleep deprived and snacky! Late evening at work tonight but hopefully early to bed and I'll start some yoga tomorrow! And I did bring lots of veggie crudités to work for snacks so I am starting to try!)

What will you guys be doing tomorrow towards your healthy goals? Give me some inspiration!

Ps Stark it sounds so miserable to be stuck in the purgatory of waiting out of the frying pan and into the fire Hope you have some nice things lined up this week to take you closer to your booking in and scans and all sorts of real proof!!

jem I've always had it even before ttc. The only time I didn't was when I was on the pill and it's been over 5 years since I've come off the pill now. I just looked back at last month when I had my ? Chemical and I didn't get it until 14dpo (af started 16dpo).

Ah so maybe more related to coming off the pill then pug. Maybe I have had it before and not noticed? Who knows.

ni Ahhh I did a lovely exercise class this evening run by a colleague at work! Feeling good for it!

Kwick I'm glad you have stuck around and also have some positive thoughts! Sending you lots of love and anti-itching cream!

Stark have you done any more blog posts?? I haven't got the link I need to bookmark it !!

Welcome newbies and welcome to your SP... This is your schroedinger's pregnancy (I know that's prob spelt but I couldn't be bothered to spell check it) ... This is the existence of your pregnancy in the tww. It exists until you know for certain it doesn't. Enjoy :)

I will probably soon be giving birth to my schroedinger's baby at this rate (that is the 2 weeks I have been pregnant every month added up to make 40 weeks) haha

kwick so happy to hear from you. You are a bloody soldier with that much PMA after the ship storm you have been dealt!

pug I get the brown cm before AF too. This was the first month since TTC that I barely had it, just a little in the morning and then AF by the evening. But in the previous few months I have had it for a few days. I wonder if it's to do with me coming off the pill? I also think I am prone to spotting. I had the implant a few years ago and pretty much spotted the whole time I had it in.

What is your actual AF mine is extremely light and always has been even on the pill. It's barely three days most months I'd say closer to 2 and a half really.

It does worry that by body isn't doing things right but I'm guessing the gp won't care until I've been TTC for at least a year!

Snow test results silts sound very positive!

Hi kwick youre PMA is very inspiring and plenty to be positive about. Glad you have got some time to yourself.

"Boobs. They cannot be trusted." I'll have that as my quote of the week Jem!!

Good to hear from you kwick and I'm so inspired by your attitude. I hope the pain eases up soon.

I've not been very good on our health kick today - had a massive donut for breakfast and a margarita with my lunch. At least I managed 15,000 steps though!

I don't think I've ever had sore boobs either as an AF symptom or a SP symptom. I can't imagine what it would feel like but then I'm not a very boob-y person.

Welcome newbies!

I love "don't trust the boobs!"

AF is here. On to cycle 6!

Sorry pug

Enjoy some wine tonight!

Sorry to hear that pug

1 day to go here.... Can't quite work out if I've got my usual cramps etc or not? If my boobs are sorer than usual or not?
At least up until now it's been an ultra relaxed TWW - we only did it once in fertile week anyway, so I know chances are slim, so that's helping the craziness!
Looking forward to next month, healthier living and lots of DTD this time!!!

Morning, CD6 over here and am bored of this boring waiting bit before FW and TWW

Sorry about AF pug, hope you're alright

When are you testing moose? Fx for your little French fancy.

Sorry for AF pug

I'm just going to hang on jem Tested too early last month and was just disappointed with a BFN. I know there's not really much hope this month thanks to me being away over FW, so I'm aiming for a gleaming Starkeys star. I think AF will appear tomorrow.

I'm all fired up to start healthy regime today! I was working away yesterday so travelling back today, going to stick up on fruit and veg and go on a long walk!!!

I am CD30 out of predicted 36 and have first signs of AF (boobs go from mildly tender to 'brush past me and I'll smack you' over the course of a week) so think I'm out this month. Hoping next FW will be when we're on holiday and have time to DTD lots. Going to order more of the Clearblue four-dayers even though I know they are a waste of money!

Sorry AF got you, pug. I think it's on the way to claim me soon, too. Foolishly used a FRER last night because I had cramps way earlier than I'd expect to get them - normally I have cramps one or two days before AF shows up, but this was 4 days before, which is unusual for me. BFN - disappointingly snowy white test, so would be amazed if I'm actually pg this month given that the FRER is supposed to pick up hcG up to 6 days before your missed period.

I'm not too down about it. DH was very reassuring and gave me a nice cuddle. I'm not out yet but if I am, ho hum ... on to cycle 4. It's still early days in the scheme of things.

Sorry for everyone that AF got, she's a horrible old cow!!

1 day to go to my ISW ... here's to a lucky cycle 6
