Thread 18 TTC#1 We have cats, courgettes AND cake

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!

Still don't know whether to swim or not. There's part of me that knows AF is coming next week regardless, so I'll probably be more pissed off that I've missed my swimming.

I hate ttc Envy

HepKestrel · 08/09/2016 18:45

go swim. unless you plan on getting hypothermia, your core body temp won't change significantly.

i'm now getting depressed thinking AF will not come back .......

(for the benefit of newbies, my fucked up summer includes not having AF since may)

friendly slap please

HepKestrel · 08/09/2016 18:46

sk1pper the rule for AF is Wine, blue cheese and all the scurmmy stuff !

HepKestrel · 08/09/2016 18:46

*scrummy

AliceScarlett · 08/09/2016 19:24

Chances of AF coming back are high Hep, but regardless, you can't predict or control it, try let it go... Hard though. Or! Scan wasn't correct and you're still updiffed.

HepKestrel · 08/09/2016 19:27

logically i know you are absolutely correct Alice !

but its hard to think logically when ttc Hmm

I will know where i stand tomorrow..

apologies for dominating the thread atm..... outlet for crazy thoughts needed...

OH will be home soon,

He has left me instructions for dinner.... I hope to approximately cook something edible ! (he is the cook , not me!)

LondonJem · 08/09/2016 19:30

Hep that is exactly what my DH said lol. I swam in the indoor looking out the window at the blue sky and feeling resentful HmmEnvy

IF and only if you are not still upduffed then you take away the knowledge that you can do it. It'll be a matter of time before you'll be back up there. Still keeping LSFX for you Flowers

purpleladybird · 08/09/2016 21:04

Hep you're not dominating the thread at all. Everyone is thinking of you. I came out of lurk-town to say so.

kwick · 08/09/2016 21:53

wing the murphy's law application is defo worth a try!

hep fingers crossed for tomorrow

jem I am jealous of your indoor swim.... Seriously this no bathing/swimming malarkey gets me down but it is a definite instruction from Dr at my FC so I do not feel right being naughty and breaking rule.

HepKestrel · 08/09/2016 22:02

it'll be worth it kwick

(anyone else loving last leg and the paralympics ?)

sk1pper · 08/09/2016 22:50

Hep - AF will come back, I wouldn't worry. And remember high stress can delay or stop AF for a period of time and I would say you've had your fair share recently. I know saying these things can't make you feel any better about it but your body will sort itself out xx

Mooseville · 09/09/2016 07:06

sk1pper · 09/09/2016 07:33

Just wanted to add to the chorus of voices - good luck Hep, thinking of you. Flowers

Damson9 · 09/09/2016 10:08

I'm starting to think that the TWW was a breeze in comparison with the crawling of days once you actually find out you're pregnant and are in preMW appointment limbo... Hep, I can only imagine how this week must have dragged for you. I'm sending you my bestest, shiny wishes for today. Much love xxx

Damson9 · 09/09/2016 10:21

I've just retread that and don't like my tone! Sorry, the last thing I ever wanted to be was someone who complained about any aspect of being pregnant! I'm just feeling kind of antsy...

*applies guilty face.

sk1pper · 09/09/2016 10:34

I don't think anyone would read it in that way Damson :) we know what you mean xx

LondonJem · 09/09/2016 10:56

Not at all damson. It's hard as all we want is to get pregnant - but I can completely imagine how much the worry must continue and increase. In fact I've already worried about how I would cope with miscarrying and I've never had a bfp.

No judgement on this thread - the whole process is so emotional, whether you are in the TWW or anxious about a scan or worrying about birth or indeed sending your little one off to school for the first time!

Damson9 · 09/09/2016 10:59

So this is it for the next 20 years, right? ;)

*settles in with a cup of tea.

AliceScarlett · 09/09/2016 11:03

Lets just settle into all the worry and anxiety!

My Softcup things arrived today...I'm anticipating a disaster Hmm Blush
