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!

Oohh there's a lot of us testing on the 5th, fingers crossed it's a lucky day!

TMI alert just had a ridiculous amount of ewcm like nothing I have ever experienced. I'm guessing this is as a result of EPO.I stopped taking it on Saturday at that's when I got my peak O PK. I'm still counting as from Saturday as my FW even though ovia has changed my dates based on my opk and FF is refusing to give me any dates at all. FF has changed my test date though and is saying I will only have a 24 day cycle because I had an early peak but I am going to hold out to the 5th which would be 27 days which I more normal!

Sorry about AF celizabe better luck for next cycle and smep. Citalopram is a bastard for libido but can be overcome with the right willpower.

lovely - so not AF? Ooh. Fx.

hep epo shortened my AF and yeah there was less of it too. I saw a noticeable increase in EWCM with it too - potent stuff!

Four classes a week kav good effort I wish I had this kind of routine. Hope your relaxed approach brings success.

twinky - yep I saw that from epo too!

Celizabe sit with us how annoying when you miss out on your fertile window . We do as much as we can but we are both very busy/ tired/ and I suffer from anxiety so it os hard
Fishy keep us posted!
Hep with EPO I have noticed shorter AF but lots more coming out. I guess same amount but in a shorter time.

A kwicklet sounds too cute. I love yoga, keeps everything in balance.

Are you managing to hold off testing jem? I think you said it was Thursday?

Fx for updates from pug and lovely too

Going to test weds I think orchard. DH goes to Chicago Thursday to Saturday and don't want to test just before he goes Thursday morning. Would be very hard if it is positive. "You're going to be a dad. See you Saturday!"

Oh and Kav you sound very healthy to me! Did you see the programme about aging the other week? Your age on paper means nothing much, you are prob 27 biologically; at least that is what I am telling myself atm.

Fx jem sending you lots of positive vibes and good wishes for Wednesday! Could you bear to hold out until Sat?! I suppose that is the alternative...

Good luck jem!

Hi everyone,
I have changed my name multiple times but am sticking with this one now.
We started Ttc in October then started planning a wedding and stopped for a couple of months until we were married. Well we are married and back on Ttc so my stats:
Age 26
Ttc #1
Cd 14

I have been using opks this month too so am keeping my fingers crossed!

I haven't kept up with the thread since thread 9 so am looking forward to seeing how many bfps we have had.
Ps. Sorry for the essay

fx jem

and thanks all regarding my epo query.
I do realise I am at that point in my cycle where I am over-analysing everything, as there is nothing else I can do on this ttc journey.

celizabe we have the same 'completion' issues here too due to OH's anxiety meds. It really sucks especially when it happens when you know you're at your most fertile. I always try to stay as positive as possible, it must make him feel really awful which wouldn't help matters at all. Unfortunately it means that we can't DTD that often but it'll happen eventually.

Welcome back pup, I hope you had a lovely wedding!

FX for Weds Jem!

Found the new thread! Don't know what we'd do without you starky!!!

Stats:
bluebird
Age: 30
Ttc #1
Cycle ...14
Cd 14

I think I've tried everything including not really trying. Waiting for a blood test next month to see if that sheds any light as to why I'm not falling pregnant.

Good luck and fx lovely

So sorry 5tar. Take care of yourself.

Oh bluebird what a long time to wait, I really feel for you. Really hope you get some answers and help from your appointment.

Orchard waiting until Saturday probably would be best... I'll see what I can do!

suchajem are you stocked up with FRER?

Kwick you definitely work for FRER lol I still don't have any in but I shall try and pop to boots in my lunch break tomorrow!

No news from me, no signs of AF.

I did however have a horrid panic/anxiety attack this evening. Just in general feel like everything in life is getting on top of me, I feel like I do so much for everyone but don't get anything back? My brain just felt like it had a million thoughts whirling around and it got too much.

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish Pug. Anything you can do to unwind? Hug a kitty, cuppa tea, good long natter with someone?

Lots of for you pug. Anxiety attacks are the absolute worst, I hope you're feeling a bit better now.

Bluebird, I hope next month's tests can give you some answers.

Pup what was your name before? Or is there a reason you changed it? I don't get why people change their names on here often.

Yay love yoga. I need to do some tomorrow, I go through phases of "I'm lifting heavy weights in the gym I don't need yoga" through a nice healthy balance of both, then "I love yoga I need nothing else in my life ommmnmmmmmmmmmmm" and back again. Currently in weights phase. And overdid legs/butt yesterday (trying to lift the bloody thing up .... Each year older I get I swear an inch closer to the ground it's getting) consequently I can't walk, sit or lean today. Think it might be time for yoga.

I need to get back into sexy mode better get my blusher on . I've really not been bothered about it the last month or so. Does anyone else get like that? Like I could really take it or leave it iykwim. But I feel bad for DH as I really should put in a bit more enthusiasm. Pfft.

In the original posts I was deborah and my birth year so changed it so I was less identifiable then I became bubbapup89 but as there were a few bubbas as names I got confused with who was speaking to me so decided to change it but didn't speak on here for ages. I think we used to be roughly the same timings Kat.

I am making a massive effort atm more than I have in years but not sure if it's where we have got married.

Thanks katrino and jem. It has felt such a long time. When we started Ttc last year I remember thinking...I'd die if it takes a year! How can you wait that long! That definitely won't be me. And alas...it is me. I have regular cycles so sort of wondering if it's Dh's swimmers. He won't go get a SA until I've done the blood tests so that we won't know what's going on for a couple of months.

I never imagined ttc would take this long either Bluebird. It all seems a bit rubbish right now!

Update... Nothing all of yesterday, then a bit of spotting right at the end again! This morning there's a little spotting again, but it's still not AF yet. Unless it gets enough to convince me it's really AF I'll test tomorrow morning. But I still don't feel preggo, I think my body's just playing games with me.

Big hug from me pug, anxiety is a bitch. Hope it has settled down and you are feeling better.

kat absolutely I get so sick of DTD! I really enjoy it and love how it brings us closer, but I would say by the time I actually ovulate I'm already fed up of it.

Hi Ninja, I know what you mean, I try to stay positive too and not let him see the stress because I'll, of course, just make his anxiety worse. Although, that does get a little lonely and frustrating after a while because I can't share how I'm feeling. Anyway, like you said though, it's bound to happen eventually!
