Thread 25. TTC #1 - February Fertility Fighters on the FRONTLINE

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

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...

pyjamas that made me laugh out loud.

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 20:32

Definitely a conspiracy - it's ok, felt much better after violently chopping it up 😈

No change here - still with the faint pink CM only when wiping.

Really hope you're relaxing skipper and feel better after a good cry 🌸🌺

You're right 88 - need to see the bright side. I'm doing ok at the moment - will probably be a different story once AF properly arrives, the ugly old hag.

That Fairy ad drives me nuts as well jam!

88claire · 07/02/2017 20:47

Pyjamas

Is AF definitely coming? I really don't want to get your hopes up if it's nothing but I had 5 days of pink spotting last cycle before I got my BFP.

I've started to get it myself now and trying not to get my own hopes up! I'm only 3dpo......

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 20:56

That's the annoying thing 88 - could be AF, could be something else! I'm 12 or 13 dpo and the pink CM started yesterday and AF is due Thurs or Friday - same thing happened last month before I got AF (for the first time ever). Never had spotting in my life, but of course, now I do when TTC! I still have a faint glimmer of hope, but mentally preparing myself as well. Thanks for sharing your story! Just goes to show - it's never straightforward!

Kaydee2017 · 07/02/2017 21:24

So sorry skipper Sad hope your bath helps a little Flowers

Hep that looks painful - ouch! Hope it subsides soon for you!

Pyjamas Flowers hope you stabbed the pepper to bits to vent some frustration Grin

Jam you sound so well prepared for your appointment, hope they get you the tests you need asap Smile

I'm on countdown to AF now, CD26, due anytime Fri - Sun! Just want this cycle over so we can get back to it!!

Mrsbluebell17 · 07/02/2017 21:59

I'm CD26 too Kaydee! Fingers crossed for you x

WingingIt83 · 07/02/2017 22:03

Just jumping on quickly to say that the Stranger Things 2 trailer is on you tube!

Pyjamas81 · 07/02/2017 22:25

Pepper completely annihilated 💣💥🙂

SmittenPears · 08/02/2017 04:46

Pyjamas, what a turn of phrase, "calm as a goddamn cucumber" made me crack up. Ummm is it too late to change my screen name to HystericalCucumber?? ;)

EJ2009 · 08/02/2017 07:03

Pmsl at the pepper. I got a pang over a wildlife documentary with a chimp carrying a baby Grin

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 07:13

HystericalCucumber would be a great name smitten 😂

You're not alone EJ - I'm the same!

Knicker Watch continues and still nothing - let's see what the day brings... I could test I suppose as am 13/14dpo but no, I'm waiting until the weekend.

Thinking of you skipper - hope you're ok x

HepKestrel · 08/02/2017 07:16

Lsfx pyjamas, bluebell and kaydee
Have I missed anyone? Skipper are you definitely out? Flowers

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 07:29

Pyjamas - I was nearly crying over your pepper this morning. Grin

Hep - not for definite, the spotting is completely non existent this morning even after I rooted around up there and the cramping has gone. My boobs have stopped hurting too, it normally means my period is due though. Trying not to think about it anymore, I'll go cray cray. How's your foot hon?

Kaydee2017 · 08/02/2017 07:41

Fx AF stays away for everyone this morning!!

Londonjam · 08/02/2017 07:47

Hysterical goddamn pepper has got the be the next thread name 😂

Warning to AF - stay away ! You are not welcome🚫

Fx all testers 🤞🏼

kwick · 08/02/2017 07:59

Had fanjo stabbing pains last night and what is either crinone clumping or spotting... so anxious did a strip test - BFP. Thank God scan is tomorrow although I do not want any bad news - ok?

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 08:04

Kwick - good luck for your scan tomorrow, but you won't need it hon. And no worrying! You can always mention the pains to the consultant if you're worried but I'm sure it's just your wobble making room.

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 08:12

Am sure you'll be just fine kwick and like skipper, I think it's the little one burrowing in and getting comfortable. Glad your scan is soon to put your mind at ease!

Glad things are looking up skipper 🙂 I've still got the same so no news here. I've pretty much accepted my fate though.

sk1pper · 08/02/2017 08:30

Ahh I don't think I'm preggers Pyjamas but at least my cycle is hanging in there. Are you sure it's a failed cycle as well then?

harrietm87 · 08/02/2017 08:31

pyjamas and skipper I'm still rooting for you.

Love the pepper!

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 08:36

Morning everyone. I caved and did an IC this morning but it was a whiter than white negative. Just noticed some colour when wiping now..... hoping I'm not out but think I am. Sad gutted.

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 08:42

Cycle hanging in there is a good silver lining skipper 😊 I'm 98% sure am out - the same thing happened last cycle so hopes aren't high. Just want this limbo to be over!

Sorry about BFN bluebell 💐💐 when is AF due? It's horrible seeing that BFN 🙁

Kaydee2017 · 08/02/2017 08:44

Sorry bluebell Flowers but you're not out until she actually appears, so fx!!

And still fx for skipper & pyjamas!

Wishing away the hours until your scan tomorrow for you kwick Smile

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 12:01

Thanks kaydee and pyjamas.
I'm not entirely sure when AF should be due - OVIA and Cycles app predict tomorrow. But my last few cycles have been 33, 27 and then 24 days. I'm CD27 today, and I think 11dpo (I can't temp as I wake up through the night and get up at different times for work each day but did get a positive OPK 12 days ago!)

I've been to the loo what feels like about a million times this morning but no further colour appearing. Fingers crossed it was just in my head and I'll get a BFP soon but I'm not feeling hopeful still. Lower abdo feels tight but less crampy than it has done recently. Argh, driving myself INSANE!! Envy

How you all doing today? The TWW is enough to drive anyone mental 😬

Pyjamas81 · 08/02/2017 12:17

I hear you on going to the loo a million times bluebell - I think I may just move my laptop to the loo Confused really hope AF stays away for you! I'm still exactly the same, pink CM when wiping, nothing else.
