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!

FX yey fir terrible old 90s RnB. Have a lovely time away and hope you manage to chill a bit!

Kat hello, welcome back. I thought it was a set of scales.

no AF today for me, might test again if nothing tomorrow. DH is being great, has a plan for acoiding booze if I get my BFP and has reminded me that it would be nice to relax and drink at the weekend if BFN. He is being pretty wonderful - I feel very lucky.

Hello kat good to see you!

Ah skip how frustrating! hope you get clarity either way soon

Sorry about bfn peaches, pamper session sounds just the ticket

Glitter ball and stereo gratefully received ni let's put some Ace of Base on. All that she wants anyone?

twinky how are you getting on?

Hi ema hope AF stays away! Your oh sounds very sweet

jem I'm absolutely exhausted, feel so drained every evening! But I got to tell my mum and sister this evenING who are both over the moon!

Am keeping my fingers crossed for some BFPS over the next few weeks!

A pamper session sounds well in order Peaches. Sign me up for one too!

Starky I started using Instagram 2 years ago after my girl friends kept on at me! I only use that and Facebook, and neither very much. Mostly cat pictures!!

Glad the news went down well Twinky! Were you so very excited to finally be telling people?

So AF due today, had some light cramping and spotting but no AF. I never got spotting before last month so while it's new-ish I'm not falling for that again! I might announce that I'll test tomorrow just to bring on AF so the next cycle can begin.

starts to boogie to the waiting room music...

Ah thanks for all the early ovulation wisdom. It's helped me come to terms with the fact I def missed the boat this month, so I'm going to relax for the next three weeks and get properly back into it all next cycle, the minute AF has left the building! (Also now feel a bit better about the G&T and muchos vino I thoroughly enjoyed drank under duress tonight...)

Hi Kat . How did you even make that emoji?!

Welcome back kat [waves]

Good luck testing today fishy

But down today. Had day 3 and 21 bloods done this cycle. Day 3 came back fine but day 21 came back inconclusive. Have to do both again next month. Worried now.

I'm getting this sharp, crampy pain in my central lower abdomen since yesterday afternoon. Last night in fact, it was really quite painful, I feel bloated and a bit gassy so I wonder if it's trapped wind. Standing upright and walking is uncomfortable with it.

Congrats vix!

It must be so lovely telling close family members twinky

Bluebird, how frustrating you have to wait another month. I hope it's just a common/small blip on the second result. Fx for getting the all clear next month.

Pug what cd are you?

I woke up this morning with the distinct feeling AF is coming. Don't know why - I've just got The Dread

It's no wonder my DP doesn't quite 'get' basic biology.
I sent him off to work with an orange for his smack yesterday (new healthy eating regime!) and he told me last night he had to google how to eat it as it confused him so much!! I mean WTF? How does this man hold down a (quite successful) job and career???? Apparently he peeled it fine but the segments confused him??!
If it's survival of the fittest, no wonder I can't get upduffed!!!! LOL

Moose oh my ! thats funny!

I am working from home today. Feel completely washed out.
Last week, OH gifted me a lovely cold for my birthday. So I am probably just suffering from a series of bad nights sleep (eaux-de-vicks)

cd32: AF still not here..... though I think she may arrive today (TMI: occasional v.little pink/brown since monday evening). I did have some boob-tenderness over the weekend, but pretty much all gone now.

I have a question milk: I think kwick recommended not guzzling the stuff after ovulation. I assume its safe to start guzzling the stuff again? I have 4 pints ! Ooops !!! Even grumpy-old-cat doesn't want to drink that much.

curls up in corner of waiting room to go back to sleep

Hahaha moose! Silly sausage.

Fx hep hang in there!

Where has kwick got to, hope you're doing alright if you're out there

Hi Kat

I hope AF stays away for people and we get some BFPs.

I woke up crampy and now started spotting, AF will arrive later on or tomorrow. So I'm waving in cycle 6 now bleeding mid-cycle. I know 6 cycles is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I'm really fed up, I knew I was deficient. I could wallow really rather effectively in self pity.
Going to make a gp appt, should have done so when I saw the blood, knew it couldn't have been implantation, just held out hope as it was on 6dpo. Silly me.

Big hug Alice. You are not deficient! I think I'll be moving into cycle 6 with you. Defo see your GP about the mid cycle bleed. Hang in there, sending you if it is AF xx

hugs Alice
i'm clinging by my fingernails to this cycle (lost count!) and will probably join you soon as well.

go see your GP. even if it is for reassurance it will be worth it.

Thanks Jem, I hope you don't join me (No offence )

Still no AF this morning, snowy white test so bfn. Just wish AF would hurry up so this game can continue!!

Thanks Hep hang on in there

Hi all, just a quickie... Af is due at the weekend, but I've been having weird pains in my vag like someone is sticking a pin in my cervix? It's happened a few times in the last day and it only lasts a second or two but good grief it stings 😜 Has anyone else had this? Is it a new symptom of nothing at all that my body is throwing at me?

Hey all, af arrived this morning so back on it for June. Getting close to the one year mark now. Grr. On the plus side means I can enjoy oysters and champagne at the wedding this weekend. Day 21 bloods are good. No answers and no bfp is getting boring.

snow I sometimes get vaginal pains before I get tummy cramps. Sounds really unpleasant. Hope it settles soon.

Morning all snow I actually think I know what you mean and it makes you jump/twitch!! But then you can never really tell anyone what it was!! I have no idea what it means.

So, AF arrived today (well, spotting anyway) I am tremendously relived that I am out of limboland and can stop stuffing my face in the waiting room, but a little bit sad at the same time. Should not have got my hopes up, even though they were only a smidgeon up. The good thing is I can have a glass of wine on the plane tomorrow and feel no guilt at all. Sorry everyone that had bets on me!

Hep and Fishy fx for you both.

Waves goodbye to the waiting room, but not before snaffling the last of the chocolates

Aw I'm sorry to hear about the red flow of doom getting you Alice ema Fx

Hep I think milk after Ov is fine,it was just more that it may be helpful to have lots specially pre ov.

I was thinking the same after the weekend and allotment weather...Where's our Kwick and how is she doing?!

Sorry about AF skip and ema

hep, fishy and Alice hope you either get an answer either way.

jem I'm cd22 today. FF reckons I'm only about 5dpo, I think I'm more like 8dpo. But who knows!
The discomfort is still there despite trying peppermint tea and going to the loo. Surely implantation wouldn't be this uncomfortable?
The only other thing I can think it could be would be that DH was a little over euthastic 2 nights ago when we dtd and I did have to ask him to stop and be a bit more gentle as I was getting a sharp pain around the cervix.

This is my chart. Temps are all over the place

Pug I'm inclined to agree with ff, what makes you think you ovd earlier?
