Thread 21 TTC #1 - The one where all our cycles went haywire but we DID NOT GIVE UP

[FXSkip]

Calling all clomid-ers, OPK-ers, temp-ers and anyone else on the TTC Bus.

We are long past cervix prodding (in fact we know where it is at any given time just by closing our eyes) and we have ditched the Gregorian calendar in favour of the TTC Cycle Day calendar. We don't do baby dust, or baby-dancing, we just keep legs spread and fingers crossed (LSFX) We love a baby bomb from a prior bus-mate, but if we get told to 'just relax and enjoy it' ONE MORE TIME you will get a punch in the face. You get kwick-cake if you behave, and talked down from the ledge when you need it.

Hop on board, post your stats and prepare to be dazzled by the wealth of TTC knowledge we long-timeys have to share....

I think I probably was more relaxed this cycle skipper - DH got a job after so long out of work, which had been stressing the crap out of me - and I calmed down a bit in my new job. As for TTC - after so many cycles of trying it wasn't at the forefront of my brain 100% of the day any more, and I think knowing I'd booked up to chat about fertility treatment helped me. Add to that a lovely hour of reflexology around the time I was due to implant - seriously recommend it, I was dozing off on the table! - and I think I was as chilled about TTC as I was ever seriously going to get.

I'll absolutely stay around Jam - at the moment I'd feel like an impostor on the grad thread anyway!!! Much comfier here for now _ thank you though

Kav - sometimes I think a state of total relaxation is the key. It's just reaching that state that can be tricky. Very happy for you :)

Music - ha ha, been there. I'm always making weird recipes or eating strange food on repeat and OH is just like "for baby making?" And I'm like, yep! This is our lives now .

Woohoo mrsg! Congrats!!!

So I finally tested...BFP! Still shaking. I did 2 tests just to be sure. Clear blue says 1-2 weeks and FRER is quite clear too. Not a squinter! I'm absolutely delighted.

I really hope all you ladies get your BFPs soon, you all deserve it so much. It's been wonderful to be a part of such a supportive group.

Congratulations mrsg how exciting 😊

Congrats mrs!!

OMG another one! Congratulations wanting!!!! So happy for you all

Oh wow wanting congrats! Thats fantastic

So that's three in two days?!! Well we did say we needed BFP s

Whoa - this is fantastic! Congratulations Wanting!!! see? Twice was definitely enough!!

Anybody want to change the thread name?

I've tried to redo the list. Skipper does this make you late?? Have I missed anyone?

Congrats MrsG and Wanting!! Great news, a lush bunch of August babies! I don't know what all that fuss is about btw, I think they are supposed to be more creative and so what if they are young for class! Good luck to all 3 of our grads - 2 on cycle 2 as well. I daren't change the thread name though, don't want to jinx it ha ha!!

I think me, Sk1pper and Gee are all moved to mid-end Dec as we've all been nailed by the witch already. Testing this week I had Harriet, Kwick and Musicgrrl. Next weekl is Tenner, Jam and Hep.

Anyone see the news this morning - apparently if women just get pregnant as soon as possible after mc then the next pg has a better chance. Thanks Beeb, I've just been lolling around painting my nails but now you've enlightened me I'll just nip off and GET PREGNANT LIKE IT'S SODDING EASY YOU BUNCH OF IGNORANT ASSHOLES.

Sorry. Just needed to get that off my chest.

My smile is HUGE this morning. I FLIPPING KNEW IT.

CONGRATULATIONS wanting and MrsG. I FLIPPING knew you two were preggo. Ah so happy.

And it's my BIRTHDAY !! I'm going to have a day drinking coffee!!!

Seriously you guys, know how to make a day perfect. MrsG, my pill buddy, sod off to the pregnancy boards you!!! (Well, actually don't go just yet lol)

Awww Mouse thank you, that has made my day!! I have my FX for you for December, I think your cycles will settle down now.

You ladies are all so lovely

Wow. Congrats kav, mrsg and wanting. Really really pleased for you and reminding myself hard that there's no limit to the number of bfps god's giving out and we could all be next.
Jem - I'm due 20th Dec (hope the witch is gone in time for a Xmas bonk or doesn't come at all of course!).
Day 7 and trying to think of something to liven up our ttc sex this FW. Think we're both sick to the back teeth of DTD so need something to spice things up. Ideas? Porn isn't really our thing (no judgement - like it on my own!) but otherwise we might probably be game.

mouse you really do love your coffee

gee I say it every time but I do enjoy a good sexy playlist. Spotify have some decent ones I think. This month we made extra time and said we wouldn't rush it, it was a lot more enjoyable.

Lol fxskip thankgoodness the beeb are there to remind you to get on it

Awww August babies

omg !!!! congrats wanting and mrsG !!!!

you wait ages for a bfp, then three come along at once !!!!!!

Massive congrats wanting and mrsg- terrific news

FXSkip, you made me laugh - sounds similar to what the sister in law said when she found out. "Oh, so you ARE having sex then!?"

um, no, I thought I'd take a leaf out of Mary's book and wait for the Angel Gabriel to pay me a visit ... he turned up a month earlier than expected, too!

I'm sure she was joking but a funny thing to say - it ISN'T always easy and I was timing it right!!

I never liked to be rushed around TTC either, just put unnecessary pressure on. Jam's suggestion about music is good - I liked candlelight too :-) also have a silver bullet that works wonders

Happy Birthday mouse hope you have a lovely day

Ooh yes, meant to say, happy birthday Mouse!
