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

[AlexiaB]

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...

I'm okay, my body is confusing me though. It seems to break from its pattern from time to time in funny little ways. Normally I have sore boobs up until AF. My boobs stopped hurting last night just as I had the spottting and PMS (this was why I was certain AF was starting) but today there is 0 symptoms. And the cramping I've had since ovulation has completely vanished now.

I'm so hopeful for you both skipper and pyjamas!!

Tmi alert .... there seems to be a fair bit of 'wet' there but nothing else. Totally driving myself mental.

Out for dinner tonight so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied for a while then maybe I'll use a FRER tomorrow morning.

I've got my fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies xx law of averages means at least one of us is upduffed, surely

I hope so skipper!!!

Spotting is getting less and less (I won't have a fanjo left at this rate with all the aggressive wiping - soz DH). I HATE THIS WEEK.

What dpo are you skipper? That's all sounding promising!

Pyjamas that made me LOL!!

my feet are frozen ! my injured foot especially so (could slight swelling hinder circulation slightly ?). Have resorted to cracking out the hotwater bottle.

oh pyjamas lol.....

Pyjamas - 9dpo and step away from the fanjo!!! Oh wait you can't...it's attached

Well spotting at 8dpo sounds v promising indeed skipper!

Fanjo has packed its bags and left me. Fine, see if I care 😒

Ladies sorry for all the fanjo misbehaving! Anyone who needs a laugh, check out the Mr Pink Cock and She Cock parking thread. Its a continuation from one yesterday. The whole thing is excellent light relief!

Also, I cannot comment on the validity of any symptoms as I think I have all the symptoms all the time, and clearly cannot tell the difference but FX they mean a BFP or two are coming our way!

So AF can just frigging stay away from you all!!!!

I am on my way home - just feel yuck. Probably anxiety about the scan. Could not face further work.

glad you are headed home kwick

if you can't have a bath, what about relaxing whilst soaking your feet in hotwater (with nice oils if available) and a nice with optional ? You can also add a nice feel good film or book to the mix?

Gobsmacked! There is a thread on Conception (the second one in a few weeks) about someone who has accidently fallen pregnant 2 months after giving birth! Just like that, two pregnancies, at the drop of a hat!

Flash - that's actually really common, you are insanely fertile after giving birth. Even if you've had previous infertility issues. You'd be crazy to not use protection right after giving birth but some people do it.

So to get pregnant all we need to do is have a baby? Oh the irony!

Sorry guys, work has been manic over the last couple of days and I've totally fallen off the thread!

Flash, I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy. Can't think of any other reason why we bunch of lovely ladies can't get pregnant and so many other people seem to manage it without even trying!

Feel better soon kwick and look after yourself. Feet up, lots of chocolate and some crappy TV.

to all those who need them.

Ha ha I know right Flash!

OH has just text me saying "since you're feeling a bit under the weather, fancy pizza tonight". That is music too my ears. A food baby is better than no baby.

flash you're spot on!!

kwick I hope you're spoiling yourself this afternoon.

skipper, bluebell and pyjamas I've got everything crossed for you (except legs which have to be spread for obvious reasons)

winging finished Stranger Things last night, so watched the trailer for season 2, can't believe we're got to wait until Halloween. We better all be preggers by the time we watch that!

Has anyone else started watching Designated Survivor on Netflix? I've watched the first and I'm hooked! Only 10 episodes but more coming in March.

Sk1pper

That would be music to my ears too! Ive currently developed a liking for 5 guys burgers and they've started delivering... Dangerous!

Do love a spontaneous pizza though!!

5 guys burgers? Sounds awesome will have to look them up. We have just had a gourmet burger restaurant open up in our nearest city, last time I went I had the BEST chicken burger I'e ever eaten covered in satay sauce. I normally avoid chicken because it's dry but trying to cut as much beef out as possible.

Oh and sweet potato fries.....urgh so hungry right now!

You're all making me hungry!! Am making 'sweet potato and halloumi soul bowl' tonight (am on a health kick). Fx I don't discover the potato is having triplets...

No legs spread here mac ha ha - fanjo is on lockdown and nothing is allowed in or out!

Hope you feel better kwick! Have you had any more pain?

Haha this food talk is making me hungry! Enjoy your pizza sk1pper!

Really hope AF stays away for you sk1pper, bluebell, pyjamas and anyone else waiting

Hope you have a relaxing afternoon/evening kwick

I'm only 5 dpo and already driving myself crazy. I've been feeling like af is coming since 1dpo but now I'm questioning if I'm imagining it! Getting fed up of wondering if this is how I 'normally' feel. I'm not sure what's normal anymore haha...

Mirena

I'm 5dpo too.

I'm feeling exactly the same as you! Over analysing everything.

When do you plan to test?!
