Thread 23. TTC #1 - New Year, New Opportunities. Let's keep those BFPs rolling in!

[AlexiaB]

Calling all OPK-ers, Temp-ers, Clomid-ers, Femara-ers, IUI-ers, IVF-ers and anyone else on the TTC #1 Bus.

Happy New Year! It's 2017 and it's OUR year

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. We've ditched the Gregorian calendar in favour of the TTC Cycle Day calendar, and we don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts, we just keep it 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!

We have a new Grad's Thread. We recently lost a whole load of ttc veterans to the good side and we're absolutely desperate to join in the fun! May 2017 lead us all to upduffed heaven and the Grad's thread, amen.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly, don't convince yourself that you're pregnant in the tww. That is paramount!

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

Glad you can see it Music. I hope this is it, finally! I can't right now as I'm working but will get some today for sure. I work from home so it's hard to get out sometimes! Fmu is long gone kwick lol but smu showed a shadow on the ic too just not as dark as fmu.

Flash yes just from temping and I wish I'd found out a lot sooner than I did. I consistently get light spotting 9dpo and AF at 10dpo which = 9 day lp. Could you post your FF chart so I can have a look please?

Thanks for all the fx!

Wow lots of you with promising signs, good luck to you all!

Good luck telling your boss kwick hope it goes well

Welcome newbies

Alexia, I can definitely see something there! Get on that FRER tomorrow (or maybe later today...?)

Winging good news re bloods and I'm glad you've got an appt with a much better GP next week. Are there some NICE guidelines or something you could print out and take with you re the 1 year just in case you need some backup?

Kwick, hope today's results are perfect and you have a nice high progesterone level!

I flushed very quickly this morning so I wasn't tempted to test. I prefer to test at the weekend so I can deal with the result (which is always a BFN) and not have to rush off to work. Plus DH has been away all week but is coming back tonight so will be around if I need him.

I was actually at this exact same stage a year ago today after our first month of TTC and AF arrived on 7 Jan. Didn't think I'd still be here a year on!

alexia I think you may have your bfp there!

So I took an ic just now and......

Can you all see what I see?! I'm shaking.

How do I post it here Alexia? I'm crap at this! Also please excuse how bad a chart it is, I started charting after my period as I hadn't got my thermometer yet. And December was a total washout as we moved around loads of different family houses for xmas and my sleep was crap. Still back to it now.

Since my ectopic I had spotting for 2 weeks before every period for about 6 months, and finally went to acupuncture and now it seems to be reduced to a few days before AF. Based on EWCM and my first temperature spike I thought I was ovulating on around day 15 with a 29 day cycle but now I'm not so sure.

I can see it Pug!!!!!

PUG I KNEW IT!!!! YAY CONGRATULATIONS

Yes!!! Huge congrats pug, that's a wonderful line!

Yes pug massive congratulations!

Alexia I'm sure I can see a line too, I really really hope you get your definitive BFP I am rooting for you! That's a fine chart and to get anything on an IC is a very positive sign I think!

Good luck for today kwick!

Winging that's great news. Hope you get the print out and have more luck with your new gp.

kwick everything crossed for your bloods! Hoping for a big juicy number!

Thanks jam. Hope you're okay lovely

Flash you can take a screenshot and then (optional) crop the picture and post/attach it here to your comment. I will be able to comment better once I've seen it. Sorry about your ectopic and messed up cycles afterwards I've heard great things about acupuncture so hopefully it'll do the trick.

Congratulations Pug!!! Can definitely see it!

I showed DH it and he just said 'yeah but it's very faint'. Going to go out and buy a frer and a digi I think.
My hands are literally shaking as I type. I'm a bag of nerves!
I feel like AF is about to start though, please stay away!

Yes pug congratulations!!! Which cycle was this?

Two BFPs in a day! alexia yours definitely counts!

kwick FX for your test results. Have you continued POAS? Have you seen a line progression?

Pug that is not a faint line for an ic lol! You're totally preggars

Thanks binky. I hope so too!

Keeping fingers crossed for you pug but looks good!

I really want to POAS now in case your luck rubs off on me pug and alexia but can't bear to see a BFN. Must stay strong..

Congratulations pug!!!!

Binky, I just had the exact same thought re POAS. We will stay strong together!

Everything crossed for FRERs alexia and pug

Here we go Alexia. I'm hoping to see more of a pattern once I've done it for a few more cyces, but I'm nervous to start trying if there's something wrong, in case that's what caused the ectopic.

Congratulations pug!! Amazing news I know you've been trying a long time, this must feel wonderful. Enjoy every minute 😊

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼for more BFPs on their way

How are you feeling jam?

I'm looking forward to seeing skips stats after this month!

Erm Alexia. That's a fucking line. Do a FRER right this second. If you hold a wee till lunch you could defo do a FRER. IC are not sensitive at all. I did a clear blue cross with second wee. Totally positive.

And Pug. HELL YEAH!!! Congratulations!!!!!

😍

Omg pug and alexia!! Two in one day! Congratulations to you both.

I got a BFN on a cheapie this morning but will probably get some better ones in Sainsbury's and try again tomorrow or Sunday if AF has not arrived.
A good thing is that I have no signs of AF so far which for me consist of horrible cramping and stabbing pain a few days before AF actually arrives.

Alexia Hoping AF stays away!

binky if you're late, test! You never know and it might relax your mind to know either way.

Music

Kathrino sorry missed your post earlier. Fx for you! I think waiting sounds like good idea as you'll have support from your DH. Hopefully Jan 7th is much luckier this year!
