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!

Hopefully everyone has nice weekend plans Smile

AliceScarlett · 16/09/2016 15:45

Just had a break and walked into town to get a coffee, everyone is pregnant or has a pushchair here too. Coincidence? I think not.

LondonJem · 16/09/2016 16:07

Hep - glad it was all ok, take it easy this weekend xx

Alice - also went into town at lunch and saw 4 heavily pregnant women. It was only a flying visit to grab something to eat during my break.

It's takeaway night tonight, the one day of the week me and OH don't watch what we eat. So looking forward to that.

AlexiaB · 16/09/2016 16:57

Glad it went well Hep. Your plans for the weekend sound perfect, enjoy! Wine

Jem thanks for the laugh! Cafe experience sounds awful and definitely not what you want to see. You too Alice.

sk1p same for us Grin

AlexiaB · 16/09/2016 16:59

Kwick a bfn after IVF has to be the worst type of bfn. Hoping it's still too early lovely Flowers

HepKestrel · 16/09/2016 18:32

Do you think pregnant ladies get secret flash mob type assignment s ....

...listen here ladies, here is the list of ttc-ers. Your mission is to ambush them in the cafes, the buses and the tubes.... Mwahaha...

jem I did like that link Smile

OH is not letting me make my own tea Smile

Mooseville · 16/09/2016 18:55

Ha ha jem I have just been creased at that buzzfeed! Grin

Glad you're ok hep Let your DP spoil you and enjoy your trip out to York. I love the Star Inn the City for food there. Bet they do a cracking Sunday roast! I grew up not far from there!

I think that we should make a pact that when we do get pregnant we should attempt to conceal it from other non pregnant woman at all times as a show of TTC solidarity! Lol Not sure how we'd do that but..... I agree there seems to be hundreds of them. When I went to Take That in Hyde Park they were EVERYWHERE???! Surely not that many pregnant woman should be at one concert????

FXSkip · 16/09/2016 19:10

hep OH sounds like a winner.

So not only did I waste about 2 hours on buzz feed (thanks jem!) but I also mistook the post below to say they saw heavily pregnant women grabbing things and then I spent a long time pondering a spate of pregnancy related robberies. #lifefail. Cheerio Friday afternoon...

Feel like this AF is never going to stop and I'm just stuck here. On the plus side I went for a run and then went to a yoga class today. Now entitled to wine and takeout I think.

sk1pper · 16/09/2016 19:19

Wow skip yoga and a run on AF? I normally sit and vegetate, thinking "fuck my life"

Pugmummy87 · 16/09/2016 21:52

Well I think I'm probably out. Brownish discharge started today. Looks like cycle 12 and a trip to the gp is looming!

Hep glad all went well today. Look after yourself.

Congrats Art!

kwick keeping my fx that maybe it's still a bit early at the moment for you.

Thanks peaches

AliceScarlett · 17/09/2016 08:02

Early morning AF cramps, 1st sign of AF for me. Made an appt with my gp for the week after next.

I've got a 10k race this morning, I guess I better drag myself around that.

Kwick thinking of you.

Sorry it seems like it's not your months pug and alice looks like there will be a few of us off to our GPs soon. We can compare GP notes Smile Still hoping for surprise bfps for you both.

Hope you're doing okay hep?

Still keeping LSFX kwick

V chilled weekend over here. DH just got back from work and is snoozing, the cat can't believe his luck. I'm planning a short run and shower then will wake him up to head up for brunch. Love a chilled Saturday morning BrewBrewBrew

Si1ver · 17/09/2016 10:08

Hope that today is going well for you Hep

Everything crossed that you see a bfn soon Kwick

My clearblue digital ovulation test started to work again today with a smiley flashing face, so high fertility period, but not peak fertility yet. I can't tell you how relieved that made me as I had basically convinced myself that my uterus was full of dust and cobwebs.

LondonJem · 17/09/2016 10:22

Hurrah silver get on that man Wink

Si1ver · 17/09/2016 11:52

Totally had to restrain myself from leaping on my husband and demanding that he performed Grin

We DTD yesterday and are on schedule for tomorrow then Tuesday as that's when I think I should ovulate. Obviously if I get a peak fertility reading that all goes out the window. He's super good at DTD when agreed according to what we think my cycle is doing. Mainly because he can't cope with me crying when AF arrives.

LondonJem · 17/09/2016 13:02

Silver exactly the same as my DH - very obliging at performing on demand! Only time this hasn't worked was when he was too drunk Hmm right on ovulation day Envy can't complain the rest of the time though!

LondonJem · 17/09/2016 15:53

Are you fucking kidding me Facebook?

Si1ver · 17/09/2016 16:29

Oh do fuck off Facebook.

I get so ragefully and irrationally angry with the "oh yes someone sneezed near me and the next thing I knew I was pregnant" stories.

sk1pper · 17/09/2016 16:48

Sorry what?? How does that work? Are they talking about artificial insemination or an act of God?

HepKestrel · 17/09/2016 16:51

Hi, trying to be a bit more active today, shopping and cleaning and then investigating new floor tiles! Hence I am absolutely knackered. Still tender but minimal cramps and bleeding is minimal today.

Get to it silver Grin

kwick · 17/09/2016 18:21

hep take it easy my lovely

You are all so lovely to me. Another BFN this morning I am afraid, I will test again tomorrow but looks like IVF #2 has not worked despite my top quality embryo and playing One Direction during transfer Grin
Have a face full of spots - probably the progesterone overload... Gonna break all the rules and have a bath - just need the heat and comfort.

Had a lovely taxi driver yesterday that nearly proposed and kept on telling me I was pretty - he nearly crashed the cab when I explained what I was doing - he told me to get down the pub and pick up a bloke... Oh if only it was that easy!!!

HepKestrel · 17/09/2016 20:45

kwick just pamper yourself and destress.

I mentioned the Brazil nuts to OH.... He has just gone and made himself a batch of dark chocolate covered Brazil nuts!
