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!

Google should definitely be banned Alice, I agree lol. Not only when Googling possible pregnancy symptoms too but also for actually pregnancy issues as there's just every bad scenario out there! I always feel like there should be a disclaimer banner or something saying 'You're probably fine! These are just possibilities!'

I'm pretty sure our most likely date that worked out for conceiving was Mother's Day, which I told my mum the other day as I thought it was quite sweet. She was like 'charming, that's why you left early that day then?!' Oops, haha.

Just remember with symptom spotting- most of us were totally surprised with our BFPs as we didn't have that many symptoms at all!

Morning girls, feeling a bit brighter after a decent nights sleep.

Day 21 today, 6/7 DPO. No desire to POAS, feel like AF will do the job for me next Friday! But perhaps it's better to have low expectations.

bluebird star jump warm up made me chuckle

lovely what cycle are you on now?

alice lots of blood? Or could it be IB? I do think about which shag it might be. This month we had a quickie at his parents house just after arriving was within 24 hours of positive OPK and I was determined!

jamjar really reassuring to be reminded lots of bfps came without symptoms. For me it's feeling the same old AF signs that make me despondent - mood swings being the most obvious so far. I'm all over the place

Hello jenifer

I've reported the spam.

Glad other people keep note of dtd too, quite nice jam for conception to have fallen on mothers day, what a lovely story in the future I'm getting soppy

Jem in theory it could be IB...not lots of blood. But idk. No spotting at all today, just mild cramps, so not AF. Probably some sort of advanced cervical cancer according to Google

Sorry to hear you're feeling all over the shop. This will pass. I think it's easier to not get hopes up.

Fx it's a little blastocyst getting comfy. Step away from Google!

Jem I'm currently cycle 9...

Oh lovely that is a long wait. I'm cycle 5 and feeling impatient. Really hope this month is your month.

Spam? What spam?

I've just contacted Priest Onome myself, I am confident that a witch doctor is exactly what I need just now....I am now 6 days late, and finally the symptom spotting has subsided as the cramps in my belly continue on regardless. No big/dark/bumpy nips, no nausea (apart from being sick the other morning). Im thirsty all the time because its getting warmer, and I'm peeing all the time because I'm drinking more, right? RIGHT? I tested with an IC, and I refuse to test again. I'm going to hold off now until.....a baby comes out?!

Jem good to hear you've come out of your funk and are feeling better. Those feelings are so destructive, but sometimes you gotta just wallow in them for an evening.

How is everyone's fitness/healthy plans coming along?

fx errr....does a whole lot of birthday chocolate count?

Fx your comment about waiting for a baby to come out made me giggle! Haven't run in a week now, should try and fit one in this eve. I am eating healthily though!

I never monitored my moods before ttc, maybe I always get grumpy and moody before AF. I'm going to try and cheer up! Hopefully the luck is with us both soon Jem.

Morning ladies congrats on the recent bfp's 😊

feefs looking forward to your happy scan news on Saturday 😊

fx my first ic was a negative, got a positive on a frer 😊
Dipping my toe rather tentatively back in. I lost the baby at 12 wks. Thinking about trying again but waiting for my first proper period before making any final decision. Just need to wait and see when that will be. Our bodies are wonderfully mysterious things, right now I wish that wasn't the case. Think I really do need a pair of those xray specs I mentioned before, or maybe I just need a chat with this priest onome guy instead

Anyway, hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine

Hey Peaches welcome back, but I am so sorry for the circumstances. Bodies are indeed magical, mysterious and nature can be so cruel. I have been really inspired by the ladies who get their BFPs but then sadly don't get to keep them, the positivity and courage is incredible, when you finally get what you wish for then it will be all the sweeter.

Hep ummm....I want to say yes to the chocolate but I really don't think it does.
Fishy great idea - get out there :)

Hi everyone.
Sorry peaches welcome back
Fx - what's going on? Still no BFP? Still no period?
I am cycle 9? 10? Not sure. DH and I have completely missed ISW this month as have been busy with work. Sort of given up on the idea of having a baby now. Feel like it might not happen for us. Thinking of getting a dog.

Fitness- was okay but was my bday on tues so went for big lunch and ate cake. Work bought me lovely goodies inc macaroons. But at least will have another month to try to lose muffin top.

Lol what's this priest onome about. Does he have a magic wand? Or maybe a pot of baby dust

So sorry to hear that Peaches. Take care of yourself.

So sorry Peaches. What awful news.

This thread is like a roller coaster ride of emotions. Pretty much like the whole of TTC.

Healthy eating plan not going toooooo bad here. Few bits of choc have passed my lips but I'm being better than I was! Up to run 4 on couch to 5k, which is a start!

Glad you're feeling better today jem Come on, PMA not PMS!!
Kat I know exactly how you feel, this is a chore now! I have just joined 'borrow my doggy' and I'm requesting to walk one over the weekend! I'd prefer a baby, but if not a dog will have to do.... And if the dog doesn't help, I've Priest Onome on speed dial!

i'm so sorry for your loss peaches

welcome back, and look after yourself !

Hey Kat! yes get a dog! or better yet and join Borrow my Doggy like Moose.
No bfp, no AF, just a pile of REALLY smelly farts. So bad. Just. So. Bad. Frightened that my digestive system has always been this rank though and I've only just noticed now that I'm super chilled out symptom spotting like its my actual job

And happy birthday to you both!

Ha ha Priest Onome should be on everyones speed dial! We'll be mothers in no time :)

So sorry for your loss peaches. Best of luck for next time .

Nice to see you back peaches hope you're doing okay, thanks for your good wishes for Saturday.

Annoyed I missed the spam!

Kat I have faith that you will fall into the category of "normal" and get BFP before you have been trying for a year.

Good luck with things peaches

I've just emailed [email protected], fingers crossed.

Peaches - I am so very sorry for your loss

I need to move to the grads thread but I am terrified of believing this might work out. Maybe tomorrow. Watched a bit of One Born yesterday and got all emosh, had to turn the channel over after a couple of minutes!

iPatches, I can understand that, well, I can't but if/when I get a BFP I will just be waiting until the scan, the waiting for the 2nd scan etc. It's hard to get hopes up in case they are dashed.

I just checked out the grads thread, it's very busy! So many BFPs since Jan. Was it January when these threads started?
I've started shredding like a champion, now decided as bleeding has gone it could have been implantation bleeding. But I will not test until AF is due.

*shroedingering!

skip wonder if the priest will do us a group discount? Cannot begin to imagine how many starky Stars you'd get for waiting until your baby comes out to test ahahaha

fishy my moods before AF - good god I mean medusa has nothing on me I'm a total fruit loop

Massive hug for you peaches lovely to see you but so sorry it's in these circumstances. Hope to see you back on the grad thread as soon as possible xx

Happy birthday kat! Ooh what type of dog??

alice really hoping it was IB!

Had a little drinky tonight after work and feeling a lot more at one with the world
