Thread 24. TTC #1 - It's been a tough start to the year but 2017 is still the year of the BFP

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

It's not been the best start of the year for most but we're still trying to keep it PMA Star

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...

Is it alexia? i wasn't sure if it counted as ff hasn't picked it up.

carley do you have a cause for yours or is it unexplained?

skip the EPO is in the omega 3,6,9 supplement. I first started taking it end of last cycle so early Jan.

sk1pper · 25/01/2017 19:05

Flash - I'd be very surprised if that was causing you the problems you are having. It's up to you, but I'd be tempted to stay on them to see if the same things happen next cycle. If it does, you can always stop taking them to see the affect.

harrietm87 · 25/01/2017 19:22

pyjamas I'm with you! Never thought I would be planning when to dtd on the internet!

We got an asking price offer on our flat today so going to see houses at the weekend. Exciting and also sad as we've been so happy here.

AlexiaB · 25/01/2017 19:59

Thanks Carley, that's very much how I feel. I'm also 2dpo today so we can wait it out together Smile

Skipper if you google EPO can cause spotting/bleeding mid-cycle (it doesn't for everyone) and it can also delay O for some people. I've read and seen a lot about it on FF. It's a bit like Vitex. I didn't get on well with that but some people swear the Vitex & EPO combo got them pregnant which is why I bought it ha

Based on your OPKs pyjamas O does look very close/could have happened already (any O pain?). DTD tonight but not tomorrow sounds perfect!

Flash is that because you don't have crosshairs yet? You could still get them soon. Post your chart if you want to?

Alexia - bloody hell, you're right Sad, well I'd probably come off that asap then Flash xx

Pyjamas81 · 25/01/2017 20:59

I thought I felt ov pain this morning Alexia, on the right side (again) - because why would I ovulate from the completely clear side ha ha. But, could also have been trapped wind!

DH said let's give it a go tomorrow morning as well. if it works, it works, if it doesn't, then we know we've done all we can!

What time is your appointment tomorrow skipper?

kwick · 25/01/2017 21:29

sk1pper best of luck my lovely 💕

Well done on house sale harriet It is hard to move from a beloved home - but just think of all the new good times you will have.

sk1pper · 25/01/2017 21:41

It's at 9am, in the hospital furthest from my house. So annoying, will have to get up really early.

Pyjamas81 · 25/01/2017 21:46

How annoying skipper - on the bright side, at least it will be over sooner and you have more time to recover!

Good luck skipper and Kwick. Smile

Pyjamas81 · 26/01/2017 07:57

A miracle has occurred - we dtd this morning! First time ever on a weekday! And we are DONE. 5 times in last 6 days. Now if FF could just pick up my ovulation so I can put the thermometer away until (hopefully not) next time, that would be marvellous.

Musicgrrl · 26/01/2017 08:07

Fx kwik and sk1pper - thinking of you both today

HepKestrel · 26/01/2017 08:20
